The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, December 31,1902. Notes and Comments. The annual meeting of the State Bar Association will be held in Columbia on Thursday, January 15 There will be a banquet in the evening. Things have ccme to a pretty pass when a second or third cla3a nation like Italy can fearlessly pluck the feathers out the great American Eagle and insult the Stars and Stripes with _ _. _ impunity. Adam Lawman, the negro desperado who attempted to assassinate Mr. Tfeomes Davis and Constable Thornton last week at Killian, in Richland county, a week before Christmas, has been caught and safely lodged behind the iron bars. The capture was made, says, the Columbia Eve* ning Record, by Mr. Fred Harman, And Mr. George W. Taylor. Some thoughtless person, for we cannot believe that any one conld be found in Lexington county who weald do each a reprehensible act HMiicioasly, exploded a dynamite cartridge in the principal street of JBrockland on Christmas eve and seventy-five feet of glaBs was broken in the stores in the vicinity. Dirt and small roeks were thrown hun3reds of feet in every direction, bet fortnnately not one was hart. The Metbcdists of America have succeeded in raising $20,000,000 as a thanksgiving offering and to be known as the Twentieth Century Thanks offering. This princely sum wiil be nsed to pay chorch debts, imild hospitals and carrying on various other charity work of the Church. $8,000,000 of this amount will be devoted to educational work. An unknown man contributed one million dollars toward this amount. The Christmas casualities this year are remarkable for their infreiifldnAV uopw four Vvoin r? Kh V^UVUWJ | IV TV UVUig 4VVV4UVU WJ our exchanges. Another remarkable thing connected with this Christmas tide was the fact that while a large amount of booze was sold both by the dispensary and through order houses, the absence of any considerable amount of drunkenness was a noticeable and pleasing feature of the festivities. nk?arconit the noted electrician, has given to the world in his system of wireless telegraphy the marvel of the age. His success in this 'direction his opened up to the student of the sciences a vast field of possibilities almost limitless in their scope and tremendeous magnitude for exploration and investigations will no doubt be carried on with renewed activity, ana some startling revelations may be reasonably expected in the future. Great Britian, Germany and Italy bave got Uncle Sam by the gotee and -are puliing it for all it is worth, that -is the three great powers have the United States in a whole and "Teddy, the Bough Eider," doesn't know bow to get out. This powerful government will either have to fight the ihree nations or completely abandon the Monroe doctrine, one of the time honored principles of Demc-cracy. The great question now confronting the American people, and one that is of absorbing interest to the whole civilized world, is "Shall Boosevelt act as arbitrator, or shall he not?" Ind upon his decison hangs in { a large measure the destiny of nations. How's This. We offer One Hundred Dollars Eeward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh 1 Cure. 1 F. J.

The man who is suffering from malnutrition is like the fettered swimmer. His stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutri- ? tion are diseased. * ==~-^_ It is not a question with him of winning in the race for business but of simply ? keeping up under TVany circumstances. ?^?L?jg~rWhenever disease ~~ affects the stomach ~ it is affecting also r^. ~? the blood and the health of every or- A j- 1 gan of the body. ==- V?? For blood is only & ^Wi_, food converted into nutrition and nutri- TS; tion is the life of 0? the body and every -?^ "jL~ organ of it. MgwBr Doctor Pierce's ? Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It purifies the blood and enables the perfect nutrition of the body which means perfect health. "For six long years I suffered with indigestion and my liver and kidneys, which baffled the best doctors in our country," writes E. I*. Ransell, Esq.. of Woolsev, Prince William Co.. Va. "I suffered with my stomach and back for a long time, and after taking a ' cart-load' of medicine from three doctors I grew so bad I could hardly do a day's work. Would have death-like pains in the side, and blind spells. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' Before I had taken half of the second bottle I began to feel relieved. I got six more bottles and used them, and am happy to say I owe my life to Dr. Pierce." Accept no substitute for " Golden Medical Discovery." There is nothing "'just as good" for diseases of the stomach, blood and lungs.

The Venezuelan Arbitration. London, December 27?The press today is almost unanimous in expressing regret over Roosevelt's refusal to act as arbitrator in Venezuelan affairs, believing that the award by him would have commanded universal respect. Tbey say there has been down right fe*r that the procedure at the Hagu9 will be dilatory, and as its award will lack guarantees, it will not be surprising if Venezuela repudiated its decision. The general belief is that Roosevelt is not obeying the whispers of uneasy politicians in refusing, but the dictates of bis own judgment on a mature view of the facts and the feelings of his people. Raris, December 27.?A. Caracas M I dispatch received here today says the agreement to submit the German, English and Italian claims to The Hague tribunal is satisfactory to Castro. Berlin, December 27.?Germany is disappointed at Boosevelt's declination to arbitrate the Yenezuelan troubles, but will refer to The Hague. Baron von Bichthofen received Hay's note this morning. . - Question Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers'never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with head aches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's Drug Store.

The matter of granting a franchise to the Lexington Columbia line was postponed last night to the nextmeeting of council. The committee reported favorably on the proposition, but gave the company right of way on more streets than originally asked for. It also inserted a provision that the bridge should have a roadway and that it should be free. Alderman Baker asked for a continuance because be wanted to look more info it, especially in the matter cf a free bridge. Alderman Melton also wanted further time, but Alderman Nelson thought action should be taken. The whole matter was postponed. A Timely Suggestion. This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be Deeded before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system In almost every instance a eevere old may be warded off by takiDg this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor tand cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born 1 afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urin . . ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, v/hen the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder .trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realised. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar ' sizes.
