As the General is a recognized authority on "female ideas" he must know whereof he speaks. %* The building committee of Newberry College have fixed June 1st as the final date when bids for the erection of the new building will he received, and expects to let the contract on or about that time.?Lutheran Visitor. * * * "We are indeed glad to learn that ex-Seoafcor John L.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Through the kindness of President Haynes, of the Lsesville College, Lewiedale enjoyed a rare treat on last Saturday night in the form of a lecture by Dr Eugene May, of Washington, D. C. It was the finest thing this writer ever heard. His subject was: "Come up smiling." While this has been our motto even from mothers knee, we confess we had never seen the great truth of this philosophy so well illustrated. It was grand, ennobling and inspir i BgAll the harm we wish him is a hasty return to us with another one of his fine lectures. On the account of bad weather and a misunderstanding about the lecture the audience was not as large as it would have been. Mr. Williams, the tobacco man of the Boiling Springs neighborhood, was in town recently. Misses Maude and Victoria Cros8on, of Lee8ville, took in the lecture here last Saturday night and also Mr. Paul Mima and others. Mr. James Jefcoat has had the sad experience of losing another one of his children. May he realize that the "everlssting arms" are beneath him to hold him up. Mrs. Jacob S. Kjzer is visiting her son at Newberry. Some of the old C. Vs., from our section are taking in the re-union at Columbia. We are sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Jesse Drafts. He was an old school mate of ours and we learned to love him. Wcx nrcro rrlq rl fn cca Prnf Tiorrirtlr If W Tf V4U giUU V vy WW JL. 1 Vi? X/ Ui J. iWU in our town Saturday. Bought him a new buggy. Something must be doing. No more marriages at present. Called off until fail, I guess. No, my friends, there's no such fish in Black creek as was described by Klondike. Greatly Alarmed By a Persistent Cough, but Permanently Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mr. H. P. Buibage, a student at law, in Greenville, S. C, had been troubled for four or five yearB with a continuous cough which he says, "greatly alarmed me, causing me to fear that I was in the first stage of consumption." Mr. Burbage, haviDg seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised, concluded to try it. Now read what he says of it: "I soon felt a remarkable change and after 6ing two bottles of the twenty-five cent size, was permanently cured." Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. National Aid for Public Highways. When Col. W. P. Brownlow, of renneseee, asked Congress to appronriftfp Ss90 000 000 fnr Nftfinnal aid to road improvement in the United States, the economists were shocked it the mere suggestion of so lavish in expenditure on such account, rhe amount provided for in the Brownlow bill, however, was ridiculously small in comparison with the immense territory in which it was to t>e distributed. We are told that the New York Legislature has adopted a constitutional amendment providing for a road tax of $5,000,000 a year for ten pears, $50,000,000 in all. This imendment will dnuhtlesR he ratified by the people of the State. The Legislatures in the States of Alabams, lennessee, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Missouri and Minnesota have all declared in favor of National aid for road improvement, and soon or late both States and Nation will unite in a policy which will result in the improvement of all the highways of the country, and to the great advantage of her industrial life. It is said that "one of the objections most loudly urged against both State and National aid is that it will encourage local communities to neglect the improvement of their roads, and depend on the State and Federal Governments to do the work for them."' The objection has very little behind it, as it would not be practicable to increase the "neglect with which "local communities'' have heretofore and always regarded the improvement of their roads. The tffjrts which HITillflinfJnuM-iwmi'uniiinMiiii ii iiubcti have been made by enterprising towns here and there to improve the highways leading to them have been regarded by some of the "leaders of thought" as a useless waste of money and muscle. Iq the States and communities where there has been any well developed policy of road improvement, the people invariably favor the largest practicable expenditure of money for this purpose- Oaly the people who live in backward com munities oppose the use of public money for such a public purpose.? News and Courier. A Farmer Straightened Out. "A man living on a farm near here came in a short time ago completely doubled up with rheumatism. I handed him a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain B^lm and told him to use it freely and if net satisfied after using it be nepd not pay a cent for it," says C. P. R*jder, of Pattens Mitls, N. Y. 4<A few days later be walked into the store as straight as i 3 _ j_ii a Miiu? auu uauueu me a uuiiar saying, 'give me another bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I want it in the house all the time for it cured me." For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Farmers Institutes.
