The Lexington Dispatch
Wednesday, March 25, 1903.
An Old Picture.
Ia aa old copy of the Pendleton
i Messenger (1846) appeared the following
estimate of a mean man, which
wa9 delivered to bi3 flock by a
preacher, but the record does not
Bhow to which denomination he belonged
nor where he was located.
It is hardly probable that any church ,
now-a-days would extend him a call,
if this was his regular style of sizing
up bis members:
"My friends, too many of you (city
folk9 especially) are ever inclined to
meanness. I know of some who are
so vastly little, if I may be allowed
the term, that when they are brushed
from earth into the devil's dust pan,
the old chap will have to put on
double-magnifying spectacles and
poke for a long while among the rubbish
of mortality before he can find
them. There's Neighbor Tightfist,
in some respects a worthy member
? * ? ? ?X 1
OX my CU-UgregttUUU, BUU jrci X ic^icu
to Bay be is mean enough to cbase a
fat mosquito through a five mile
Bwamp for the sake of the suet. To
his credit, however, he once made a
sacrifice for the good cause by putting
an unfortunate looking penny in the
box and going suppress to bed.
"And Neighbor Blank, if he had
the power and could enrich himself
thereby, he would brush the silver
stars from the firmament, snatch the
golden sun Irom the sky and sell the
moon for old brass. If a six-pence
was required at the gate of heaven,
rather than to pay the fee, I verily
believe, he would rise from his resting
place at midnight and pick the
lock with a ten-penny nail."
Don't this sound like Sam Joces?
Mors Riots.
Disturbances of strikers are not
nearly as grave as an individual disorder
of the system. Overwork, loss
of sleep, nervous tension will be followed
by utter collapse, unless a
reliable remedy is immediately employed.
There's nothing so efficient
to cure disorders of the Liver or
Kidneys as Electric Bitters. It's a
wonderful tonic, and effective nervine
and the greatest all around medicine
for run down systems. It dispels
Nervousness, Rheumatism and Neu
r&lgia and expels Malaria germs.
Only 50c and satisfaction guaranteed

A Kq&il 2?an.
A story comes from the mountains
near Roanoke, Va., that Jeff Hackett
went from one of the upper counties
of South Carolina about 35 years ago.
He settled in Floyd county and was
known to be the stingiest man of his
neighborhood. His wife became quite
unwell and doctor's bills and medicines
made the cold chills run over
him. To save time he bought a coffin
in Roanoke one day and carried it
home to have it handy. Some of the
children told the mother, who called
her husband to her bedside and said
to him she would not need the furniture;
that she intended to get well
and see him buried in that same
coffin. In two weeks she was bossing
the house. His nervous system
and Docket book received such a
shock that death soon came and he
was buried in a cheap coffin selected
for his wife.
What's la a Name?
Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C
DeWitt & Co., of Chicago, discovered,
some years ago, how to make a
salve from Witch Hazel that is a
specific for Piles. For blind, bleeding,
itching aod protruding piles,
eczema, cute, burns, bruises and all
skin diseases, DeWitt's Salve has no
equal. This has given rise to numerous
worthless counterfeits. Ask for
DeWitt's?the genuine. J. E. Kaufmann.
Notes from Lower Fork.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
A few items from this Bection of
our county I hope will not be amiss,
as the Dispatch is pretty largely circulated
in this section. We have had j
a great deal of rain and the farmers I
are behind in their work, very little
plowing done as yet.
The new mail system R F. D, is
i
very much appreciated and great
honor is conceded to Mr. Huffman
for his untiring zeal in getting it up,
and to the Hon. A. F. Lever for hie
perseverance in having it carried out
Mr. G. F. Tounginer is the mail
carrier for this section and makes
quite a model one. He is punctual
in the discharge of his duty and accommodating
to all alike.
Good health prevails in our section
and everybody on the qui vive getting
ready to make a good crop. "Hog and
hominy" is the object.
Widows and widowers are not; so
plentiful, yet there are a few around?
the widowers are on the rampage
eeekiDg whom they may devour?the
widows quiet and unassuming.
Miss Erin George, the accomplished
teacher in this section, we learn,
made a flying visit to her home, at
Lexington, last Friday and returned
Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. S. A. Miller, wife of the very
efficient and successful manager of
the State farm, has returned from an
I extended visit to the "Land of Flow|
ere." She seems to be much pleased
with her visit.
The handsome and talented Miss
Ida Roof is BpendiDg time with hei
relatives and friends at and around
Irmo.
Mrs. S. P. Younginer wss summoned
last week to attend the
funeral services of her sister-in-law,
Mrs. StockmaD, who resided at or
near Prosperity in Newberry county.
Mr. and Mrs T. B. Huffman were
also called over on a similar missioD,
it being the death of Rev. Mr. Sweat,
the farther of Mrs. Huffman, who resided
at Cheraw.
Mr. Glenn Younginer, son of Mr.
S. P. Younginer, now of Spencer, N.
C, spent last Sunday with hie parents.
His friends were very much
pleased to see him.
It is reported that Mr. W. W.
Spence, who is at present living in
Columbia, intends to take up his
residence in this section soon; also
Mr. S. M. Coogier has moved with
his family and has taken up his
residence on the plantation of Mr.
Elias Metze. ''The more the merrier."
Mrs. Sallie Huffman has returned
home from a visit to her sons, who
reside at Congaree.
Mr. George Wright is erecting a
dwelling house on the heights above
the Broad River bridge and if it is
built with the care and neatness that
marks the work of George generally,
it will add beauty to our section.
Mr. Charlie Huffman and his beautiful
sister, Miss Eula, attended
services at Blue church last Sunday.
Miss Connie Huffman returned
from a visit to friends in North Carolina
laet week. She is looking just
as sweet and pretty as ever.
This section is at present without
a Sunday school. Rumor says that
there is a move in that direction and
we are in hopes of soon having one.

in charge of Mr. Neece. He is a
young man, but he is a power and
still upholds the grand reputation
so nobly won "in the good cause."
Kev. Mr. Abney holds forth every
Sunday afternoon at the stockade.
Many of us go to hear him and are
pleased at the manner which he employs
to attract the thoughts and
attention of the convicts. He is the
right man in the right place and we
hope he will continue the good work.
Some of our farmers have concluded
to try tobacco this year in
stead of king cotton. A gentleman i
who has the reputation of being an
expert in the culture of tobacco has
taken up his residence on Mr. Huff
man's place and will look after the
interest of the same. May he meet
with success. H.
Wakeful Children.
For a long time the two year old
child of Mr. P. L. McPherson, 59 N. I
Tenth St., Harrisburg, Pa., would
sleep but two or three hours in the
early part of the night, which made
it very nara lor ner parents. Her
mother concluded that the child had
stomach trouble, and gave her half
of one of Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets, which quieted her
stomach and she slept the whole
night through. Two boxes of these
Tablets have effected a permanent
cure and she is now well and strong.

A Fine Breed of Dogs.
The R*v. Harry P. Dewey, of
Brooklyn, tells the story of a friend
of his who onc9 attended a meeting
where a Presbyterian minister preached
only ten minutes?a most unusual
thing for a Presbyterian minister to
do.
"Brethren," said the minister, when
he stopped suddenly, "I have a dog
at home that must be peculiarly fond
of paper. He has eaten that part of
i-U
i-liy coiLU'ju buau jl udto ucrv
and I'll hav8 fco stop here."
After the meeting a woman met
the clergyman at the door and, after
shaking him by the hand, asked:
"Doctor, I want to know whether
that dog of yours has any pups. If
so, I want to get one of them and
give it to my minister."?New York
Times."
?
Tragedy Averted.
"Justin the nick of time our little
b \y was Baved" writes Mi 8 W. Watkins,
of Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneumonia
had played sad havoc with
him and a terrible cough set in be
sides. Doctors treated him, but he
grew worse every day. At length
we tried Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, and our darling
was saved. He's now sound, and
well." Everybody ought to know,
it's the only sure cure for Coughs,
Colds and all Lung diseases. Guaranteed

Druggist. Price 50c and $100.
Trial bottles free.
Castro Understood.
Mr. Castro of Venezuela, raisedhis
Orinoco blockade in quick time when
he learned that Great Britain would
recognize the belligerency of the insurgents.
Such was the British
right, and it was the right to exercise
r
in case Mr. Castro persisted in his
blockade policy. Whe? President
Lincoln declared the Southern States
blockade he had left no valid reason
for protest when European powers
recognized the billigerency of the
Confederacy.?Springfield Republican.
Danger of Colds and Grip.
The greatest danger from colds
and grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for
these diseases we have yet to learn
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. It will cure a
cold or an attack of the grip in less
time than any other treatment. It
is pleasant and safe to take. For

Ambushed and Hilled.
W. L. Croft, a white man who lived
at Fairfax, Barnwell county, this
State, was shot and instantly killed,
from ambush near his home. Suspicion
strongly points to a negro.
Frank otrange, whose wife Croft had
befriended by giving her a heme after
her husband had driven her from his
house.

A small pill, easy to buy, easy to take
and easy to act, but never failing in
results. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
arouses the secretions and act as a
tonic to the liver, curing permanently.
