The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, May 13,1903. Dots from Derrick. To the Editor of the Dispatch: News is scarce in the Pineywoods at present. Health is good. New vegetables are in order. One of our neighbors has had a mess of Irish potatoes, and other things are nearly ready for the table. The farmers are getting aloDg fine planting their crops considering their chances. The grain crops will be some better than expected. Prayer meeting has been organized once a month at Mr. James Moore's, conducted by Mr. Crate Dominick. We hope abundant success. We have Sunday school every Sunday, at St. Peter's church, with Mr. Wm. Huffstetler superintendent and Berry Mayor secretary, and a large attendance. The boys in our vicinity are hustleing around, especially one. He is motrincr him a npw hupcv and has ? "B ? no* pat on it six coats of paint and- says be will pat on sis more coata if necessary. and that with his slick buggy he may be able to out shine the other fellow. So look out one certain individual. The buggy will be a daisy and I tell you when he puts on his Sunday suit be is as neat a9 a new pin. I wish him success. Mr. C. F. Caner of Derrick's, bapwened with an accident, but not eerious last Monday, while sawing shingles, and it made him so mad he quit and went fishing. Mr. Chris is an expert shingle sawyer. Mr. J. H. Koon is now plaining with Mr. John Frick's machine. He saws a little once and awhile but says he is going to quit the business. He is anticipating making brick at Little Mountain this summer. There is going to be preparatory service at St. Peter's church 'Saturday before the third Sunday, and preaching Saturday night at Mr. George Wessinger's, at 8 o'clock, for the special benefit of Miss Xaurena Shealy, and holy communion on Sundav.

New York, April 28.?Special: Apart from all questions of international morals involved in the threat ened permanent occupation of Manchuria by Russians, the department of etate has been presented with objections on a purely business basis. Manufacturers of cotton goods in New England and in the South have wiifcten to protest agsinst the course of aggression which if not checked, will cause great damage to their i iterests. One of the letters is from M. Weil, secretary of the Manufacturers Association which has heavy investments in the South, "If Rus 11 "i nx 1 :_ 5 81&1S allowed 10 reaiam iu JiBiiCLiurm, he writes, "some of the largest mills in the South will be compelled to sustain their productions and may e?en be compelled to suspend. Southern mills depend largely on export trade and their chief reliance now is upon the Mancburian district. Demand from ChiDa for goods made in America is constantly growing, aDd if fostered and protected by the "open door" business, will be still further increased in the future. Eussia is now seeking to control Manchura and to create mills in Southern Eussia to supply the demands of that section. AmoDg other protests were several from cotton growers in Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas. The writers argue thst it is undoubtedly Eussia's intention when once in control of Manchuria to impose prohibitory duties and trade evactions on products of other countries that will deprive American manufacturers of the Btronghold they now have on the / ^ii alii i i ?r ? uninese traae mrougnout Mancnuria.

Now read what he says of it: "I soon felt a remarkable change and after using two bottles of the twenty-five cent size, was permanently cured." Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. i > ? i Homespun Waists. Spartanburg Joarnal. A number of well kno.wn young ladies of this city are wearing waists made from cloth manufactured at the ? #* Saxon mills. This interesting fact was called to attention by a mill man of this city today who was sending out some samples of the goods in question. The cloth from which the waists are made is a white good?, which is tastefully designed and prettily figured. The cloth is the product of the Saxon mills, where it was woven on the looms of the mill. The i % ? - - gooas were Dieaebed at tbe famous Clearwater bleachery, a million dollar plant located at Aiken. Tbe finish product is as pretty as anything in its line that is shipped > here from the North for ladies' dress goods and makes a very attractive appearance.

May 5 ?Revelations made to the Ware county grand jury in regard to horrors of the Georgia convict camps reached Gov. Terrell today. Hon. Edward McRae, odo of the leading members of the Georgia house of representatives, is involved by the findings of the grand jury. According to the report, McRae and bis brother operate an extensive camp in Lowndes County. Witnesses before the grand jury testified that in the McRae camp the brutalities practiced are such that it is revolting to practice them. For the slightest offense, it is alleged, prisoners are stripped and chained and unmercifully lashed by the whipping bosses. It is also alleged that the McRae brothers go into the counties ' adjoining Lowndes, pay fines of misdemeanor convicts, carry Buch convicts to their Ware county camp, and there keep them in servitude long #, ill # alter me terms ior wnicn trie criminals were sentenced have expired. The grand jury claims that at least twenty citizens of Ware county are held as slaves in KcRie's camp, although their terms expired over a year ago. The report goes on to describe how these men are kept in stockade, about which armed guards march in order to prevent an escape, and also mentions that meD, thus illegally detained, who escaped from the stockade, have been chased by Ah v/iuuuuwuiiuo ouu icuaptuicu. The grand jury called on the state authorities to investigate the camp, release the men held as slaves, and to prosecute the McRae brothers. It is presumed that Governor Terrell will immediately order an investigation.?Washington Post.

Anderson has already sold hfr $40,000 worth of street improvement and school bonds. The wheat crop in Uaion county is very poor, while the oat crop will be short as the acreage is small. A negro was shot and killed in a gambling den in Union on Saturday night, by a policeman, who was raidin? the place. u * The child labor bill went into effect on May 1st. Comparatively few children were thrown out of work by its provisions. The people of Greenwood will soon vote upon a bond issue of $18 000 for the purpose of erecting a new school building. Twelve persons pleaded guilty to the charge of violating the dispen- ' sary law in the Charleston city court one day last week. Experiment in the culture of to- j bacco is being made in nearly every county in the State with more or less satisfactory results. The Spartanburg crops are reported to be very backward. There is rot a field with a stand of cotton aDd but little com up. The cityof Georgetown was full of lumbfr buyers and commission men from the North last week, seeking stock for the present spring trade. Abbeville has organized a Good Roads Association, its object being to assist and encourage the improvement of the public highways of the county. The business men of Manning have rsised about $800 for the purpose of opening and improving a straight public road lying in that portion of county toward Florence. Blanchard, a white man, has been convicted of manslaughter with a recommendation to the mercy of the L 1 CI L 1 -* t court uy a apuriauuurg jury rur killing a negro. It took the jury all night to agree to this verdict. The colored Baptist S'ate convention was in session at Newberry last week. It was more largely attended than ever before in its history. Nothing happened to interrupt the harmony of the convention. A correspondent writing the "Jonesville Jottings," in the Union Times, says: "What has become of the potato bug? I have neither seen nor heard of one this season. I am not complaining of their absence." nrominm liaf. r\f fho County Fair has been revised.

St. Paul, Minn., May 7.?Reports have been received of a serious accident early today at Dexter, a small station on the Canadian Pacific railroad, five miles west of Port Arthur, Ont., in which 12 lives weie lost. A large number cf laborers were with a work train at Dexter, where they had been loading ties. Their train was on a side track and the men were at breakfast in the caboose or boarding car at the end of the train. A passenger train crashed into the caboose where the men were eating, overturning the car. The wreckage caught fire almost immediately from the engine. Of the men in the car twelve were instantly killed or burned to death in the wreckage where they had been pinned by the overturning car. Eight others were seriously injured and still others lees seriously hurt. The wreck is far from means of communication and details of the accident are incomplete as the wires have been working badly and no names or further information about the accident has been received. ma Liu?mTrtT ' x ^ After eating, persons of a bilious habit will derive great benefit by taking one of these pills.
