The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, April 8,1903. River Route to Charleston. Columbia correspondence News and Courier: Mr. W B Smitb "Whaley aDd the other (fillers of the Olympia, Granby aDd Bichlaod cotton mills have closed a contract for a steel hull, side wheel freight boat, . to have a carrying capacity of 200 . t?nR. and to be ready for use on November 1. The boat is to b~ used for the carrying of cotton goods to Charleston for shipment north via the Clyde Line, and will cut freight rates in half. The officers, who are also interested io the Cjlumbia aod Georgetown Steamboat company, decided upon this a stort time ago "xud the contract was given out iu the past few days to the Steveos-Merrill Engineering company, of Jack^ou t _ t ville, Fla. The boat win d? kdowh i as the Washington A Clark and will be 195 by 50 feet, a double-decker, the lower deck being for freight and the upper for pilot bouses. The bull will be of steel and tbe boat will draw three feet of water when load ed to its full capacity 2U0 tons. Tbe Bpeed of the Washington A Clark io still water is guaranteed to be twelve miles an boor. Tbe boat will cost $40,000. Tbe boat will be used for the exclusive shipment cf cotton goods north by water, although, of - * - ? * course, on me return irips ubuex ? freights will be curried. By this . route it is estimated that cottoa goods, which are now shipped north by rail at 41 cents a hundred, will cost about 30 cents. As the same men interested in the Columbia and Georgetown Steamboat company are building this boat there will of course, be no competition bet wee u the two, as it is thought that freight shipped to Columbia as soon as river navigation is open will rt quire seveial more boats, and the Washington A. Clark on the down trip will be used only for cotton goods. ? ? Dove Slaughter. Daring the big Kansas City shoot - 18,000 defenceless doves whose natural fleetness of wing had been dulled by coop life, were, to the disgrace of that city, thrown from traps and shot at "just for fan.7' As Longfeltov says: "Ael&ughter to be told in groans, not words." Many crippled birds escaped, to die a lingering death, with broken legs, beaks shot away or bodies ripped open. For inT fnnnd near the cun club grounds a dove with both legs shot off flattering helplessly about hunting food. Surely this dove was paying dearly for somebody's "fun."' It causes pain, hardens the public conscience and above all cultivates cruelty in the hearts of the young, than which i here is nothiDg more dangerous to the future happiness of our own race. Brea&fal Attack of Whooping Cough. Mrs. Ellen Harilson, cf 300 Park Ave., Kansas City, Mo, writes as follows: t4Our two children had a i severe attack of whooping cough, one of ttem in the paroxysm of coughing would often faint and bleed at the D03e. We tried everything we beard of without getting relief. We then called in our family doctor who prescribed Foley's Honey and Tar. With the very first dose they began to improve and we feel that it has saved their lives." Refuse substitutes. Sjld by the Kaufmann Drug Co. Sit Dovn Q-rover. It is the opinion of many that Grower Cleveland is working for the nomination for President at the hands of the Democratic party. In commenting on this subject the Louisville Courier- Journal stateB a well known truth when it says uto the great body I of the Democrats of west and south. Mr. Cleveland is an eyesore, an cfF^ns<, a red rag, but to those Democrats who, like ourselves, would bridge the chism of 183G-1900 he 13 merely an obstruction. He stands right acio>a the middie of tbe bridge, blocking the way. Except for him there would be no serious trouble. If we were j his friend, and most assuredly we are not hi9 enemy, and believed in his lofty professions, we would still couu eel nirn to siai;d aside. We would s\j to him: "Mr. Cleveland, the Dem ocratic shipwreck came to pass while you were on the bridge. Many of the crew, and some of the passengers, hold you responsible, guilty of inc ?mpetency, if not of treachery Even according to your own rating , of yourself, you have doDe | enough for your party and your country. You an old man. Why compli cate the situation, embarrassing 3our friends and cheatiug your age of its repose by once more undertaking t<> seize the helm and to steer the ship?1* This is a simple truth plainly told, but Cleveland is too fall of egotism 1 to beed it. It seems hard for Cleveland to understand that lie is only a has been, and that tne rank and file of the Democratic party has trusted him for the last time. He betrayed the party into the hands of its enemies once, but he will njever get the chince to do so agiin. Grover should go back and sit down. A Demonstration of What Chamberlain' Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Can Do. "One of our customers, a highly respected citizen of this place, had been for ten years a sufferer from chronic diarrfcce writes Walden & Martin, druggists, of Enterprise, Ala. "He had used various patent preparations and had been treated by phy siciaDS without any permanent benefit. A few moQibs ago he commenced taking Cnamberlain's Colic, Cholera andDiarrtce* Remedy and in a short time was entirely cured. Many citizens of Enterprise who know the gentleman will testify to the truthfulness of this statement. For sale by TheKaufmann Drug Co. Tillman's Triumph. Charleston, 8 C , April 2 ?Special. The largest audience ever assembled at the Academy of Music was out to 1 CJ 4.^ Z> T> TNIIr^on mgtifc to uear ocutnui xj. xt. imuiau deliver the baccalaureate addreeB to the graduating class of South Carolina Medical College. Hundreds of people were unable to get within sight of the auditorium of the theatre. Every seat was taken; the aisles were crowded with people who sat and stood on the stairs and there was a mass of humanity. The graduating class of the college was a large and popular one and tne flowers sent its members and Senator Tillman would have filled several wagons. Senator Tillman spoke for one hour giving an appropriate and timely address to tho vnnnor doctors. The receDtion "* " J V~~B ~ t accorded him by the audience was of the most enthusiastic order. Senator Tillman spent today inspecting the city. . J. H. M. Lettuce Better than Vaccination. Lettuce is an absolute preventive of smallpox. No one is in the least particle of danger of catching smallpox who eats a little lettuce every day. Lettucedsa thousand times better than vaccination. It has no liabilities, like vaccination, to produce other diseases We are willing to stake our professional reputation on the broad statement that any one who eats lettuce daily will not catch smallpox, whether he be vaccinated or not.

He thought of and tried Dr. King's New Life Pills and she got relief at once and was finally cared. Only 2oc. at The Kaufmann Drug Co. A Wet Umbrella. Never leave an umbrella standing on the point in the ordinary way when wet. The water trickles down, spoiling the silk and making the i wires rusty. It is also a mistake to open it and leave it standing, as this stretches the silk, making it baggy | so that it is impossible to fold it smoothly. The proper way is to shake out as much of the water as pjssible, than stand umbie.la on its end to drain. F0LEY5H0NET TAR Cures Colds; Prevents Pneumonia ^ !

Va., writes: "Our son contracted a deep cold about the first of July, 1F99, and had a terrible cough. We called a doctor and he pronounced it irritation of the bronchial tubes, with asthmatic trouble, and he informed me that my son was liable to die at any time. He told me | that if we could keep the bronchial tubes open, he might cure him; but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all the time, I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Pleasant Pellets.' I had seen several almost miraculous cures brought about by the use of these medicines, and of course I had wonderful faith in them. He used three bottles of' Golden Medical Discovery' at hone and one vial of the ' Pellets," and was then well enougn to go to West Virginia, taking a supply with him. I am just in receipt of a letter from him from which 1 quote : ' I am well and hardy and getting very fleshy.'

Washington, April 1.?Tbe post office department has under preparation^ small book, to be issued to pa fcrons of the post offices throughout the country which will contain a great amount of information regarding the business of the post office which is not generally known. One of the things to be treated will be the use of mutilated stamps on letters. It i3 Dot generally known to [ users of postage stamps tbat a torn or defaced stamp cannot be used. Persons who have torn stamps in their possession have been in the habit of pasting the piece together and thu6 placing it on a letter. This is prohibited in the postal regulations and the person who uses such a stamp runs the risk of not haviDg his or her letter delivered. Sometimes they aie so well repaired that the tear escapes detection, but should the rent in the stamp be found by the postal officials it will make it of no value. Too Great a Bisk.

The most economical men and women are often the most wasteful. They waste- themselves. They expend priceless energy in useless ways. There is a way of doing things which employs just the requisite energy and no more?just sufficient time without hurry or fuss. TKio Jo nniao in an.Mnn? it. ifl rIsO test in work. Even a brief period, a few minutes of relaxation in the midat of work is recuperative. A pause tn think of something sweet and pleasant, to recall the words of a song, to look out of a window at a green tree or a breadth of blue sky?to listen to a child's prattle or give the rosebud mouth a kiss?this keeps the mind from being absorbed in material objects and renews its vital force.

On my recommendation many people have used Foley's Honey and Tar, and always with satisfaction." Sold by the Kaufmana Drug Co. Mutual Admiration. The Kansas City Star says: "It is certain that if Henry Waid Beecher i were alive he would admire Grover | Cleveland ae much as Mr. Cleveland j admires Mr Beecher." ENJOYING A SHOW. A C'linrlty Concert In London and tlin Audience It Attracted. The audience certainly was a terrifying one. The front rows of the big hall wore filled by old women very severe or else smiling the perpetual smile of vacancy. Then came a grimy group of dock hands. Their wives, some of thorn in charge of three babies apiece, were all over the room. The girls came in huge feathered hats and yelled high pitched witticisms to the gangs cf young hooligans whose one desire seemed to be to wreck the show. Indeed they contributed even more audibly to the entertainment than did the performers, while the clergy who patrolled up and down seemed on excellent terms with everybody, but quite powerless to control a good part of the audience. Somebody opened with a piano solo. Really people might have more sense than to chcose a Chopin nocturne for such an audience. The pianist was twic e told to "go and get an organ." There was a snour ior some xune unknown to us, and after that the rendering of Chopin was permanently drowned in general and stentorian conversation. A girl with ambition to become a professional next sang, amid audible comments on the plainness of her frock, and she quitted the platform in awful silence. Bertie and his cello had an even worse time. He was invited to "'get his hair cut," which was certainly a piece of timely advice, and at the first deep notes of his instrument there were anxious inquiries if he was in pain. As this .had a perceptible effect on irritable Bertie, there were general offers to attend his funeral and more advice to the effect not to lake "that old geezer out with you when you go courting." By this time the troupe were terrified, and the rector had to mount the platform and request some sort of order.?Outlook. Wanted.

Regard for petty things often will dwarf a man's ambition. A woman's love can become annoying as well as burdensome. Marriage based on honest affection will withstand the ravages of time. When a woman gives way to anger, she begs her own pardon with tears. Many women lind happiness only when attending to the affairs of others. Confidence is not easily gained where exaggerated love of self is found to exist. To decide between love and duty lias caused hours of worry to men as well as to women. The man with a vice wonders why so many persons think it their duty to make public the fact. Man often shows the hard side of his disposition to mark more strongly the generous shades.?Philadelphia bulletin. Lnniolatry In China. In China the practice of luniolatry exists at the present day and is of very early origin. The chief festival, that of Yueping, or moon cakes, is held during the eighth month of the Chinese year. Persons make cakes of various sizes in the shape of the moon and paint different figures upon them. --?1 ? i..i.n.-. nov vicjfc l.'i nrm u ncnus ami rfiau?c.i "o"" w another, give entertainments and present their cakes after making protestations and pouring out oblations to the moon.
