The Editor of tbis paper ie spending
the week on the Edisto, making
#
war on the catfish, the assistant editor
is visiting in Horry county, and

If the paper is not up to its usual

torial column is missing for the week
the Devil will be to pay. The Editors
are not responsible for this
issue.
"The fellow who habitually borrows
his neighbor's daily paper is bad
encugh to deserve punishment, but
the person who receives his county
paper for weeks, months and year*?
who gathers from its columns all he
knows of the happenings in the
county, state and the world at large?
and fails to pay the pitifully small
price charged cannot be suitably characterized
in public language."?The
Columbia State.
, Abram Zurasky, a Jewish peddler

elected on Tuesday, as successor* to
Pope Leo, the XIII Guiseppe Sarto,

ment of Sarto's election was attended
with splendid demonstrations.
The following extract from a letter
written by G. M. Harman, editor of
the Dispatch, to the proprietors of
Ramon's Remedies is self-explanatory:
"There is no pill that equals
Ramon's Pills; they leave the bowels
and stomach with such pleasant,
healthful feelings?no bad effects?
after performing their work so thoroughly.
I have tried them, and
know whereof I speak." 25 cts.

To the Editor of the Diepatch:
Since I wrote last we have had an
epidemic of marriages.
Among them I record the following:
Mr. W. H. Sills and Mies Kate
Haltiwanger by the Rev. Mr. Kinard,
of Leesville. Mr. Sills is engineer
->n 4 he Southern Railway and Miss
i* the accomplished daughter
ji our fHeDd H. W. Hal iwanger.
Mr. P. R. Grady, of the North
state, and Miss Carrie Smith, being
firm believers in the old adage that
?? -J L
m love, as wen ss war, every auvautage
is allowed left the home of the
bride without the knowledge or consent
of the powers that be?and
arriving at the midnight hour, aroused
the Rev. Dr. Edwards of that
place and were happily married.
Again last Wednesday p. m., one
of our most popular young men, M
B. Edwards, visited Miss Sallie Gregory
to go driving. The carriage
rolled rapidly to Leeeville, where the
couple were married. The grooms
father, Rev. Joab Edwards, pronounced
the nuptial ceremony. After
awhile spent with the family there
they returned to the home of Mr. I
Edwards and the family and friends
in large numbers greeted tnem witn
aD ovation. All heartily eojoysd
the humor of the handsome young
couple, who outwitted the curious by
eluding them in the quiet drive to
the neighboring town. They are re
ceiving the congratulations of our
people and are among the most
popular young people of our town.
The Presiding Elder of this District,
Rsv. Mr. Beasly, has been in
town a few days. He held quarterly
meeting at Providence, near here,
Saturday and Sunday night was to
have preached at the Methodist
church in towD, but the rain prevented.
Rev. Dr. Wilkins has been at Perry
and at Neece's station, in Aiken, and
Orangeburg in protracted meetings
for the last two weeks. He is de
lighted with his work at those places
and is high in his praise of the good
people in those sections.
Tne building fever has again
struck our town and 0. W. D
Ricard is building a handsome brick
store in the place where his frame
building stood. This will make
sixteen handsome brick structures
in town or nearly half the business
houses.
Lieut. Col. John Bell Towill js
kept busy at the frequent reviews of
i'ae military of the State. The Col.
properly attends with his chief, Gov.
Heyward on these occasions.
We had a fine rain Sunday, the
first, for quite awhile.
Crops are only medium. Some
complaint is very properly indulged
in for in the whole the prospect is
worse than for some years past, but
the opinion is freely expressed that
the prices will be better than for a
number of years past.

Concerning Good Roads.
Attention re called to the accouEt
of the York County Good Roads
Convention Dublished on daffe 6. of
c - - X o '
the current issue of this paper. Iu
the ab36Dce of the editor the present
writer does not feel justified in commooting
upon the merits or demerits
of thes j resolutions. However, they
are printed for the benefit of the
public and those who contemplate
attending the convention for this
county the 20ch instant, will doubtless
find it profitable to study them.
The civilization of a people is said to
be measured by their roads and by
what they read. Some things aie
certain. Lexington county is in need
of better roads than Bhe now has.
If sh6 is to have them, the sooner
the better, and those who attend the
convention for this couDty should
come with some practical, economical
scheme for immediate work along
this line. Let the people study the
York county plan, adopt what is
good and reject what is bad.
The Governor offers a reward of
one hundred and fifty dollars in this
issue for the apprehension and delivery
to the sheriff, George Edwards,
who is charged with the murder of
William Hall on the 15th day of July
1903.
Hon. Arch B. Calvert was recently
re-elected mayor of Spartanburg.

It is through its operation upon the ner- !

such a world-wide reputation as a sure j
and reliable remedy for all phases of j
catarrh wherever located.
Mr. Jas. 0. Morin, 1179 Ontario street

been cured of catarrh."?Jas. O. Morin,
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory
results from the use of Peruna,

full statement of your case and he will :

''What'? the matter, oM fellow?" he
said as they met tlx? morning after.
"You look blue."
"I feel blue."
' But last night you were the joUicst

"I felt like one."

"You certainly did."
"And I gave a war wlioop on the

"Yes; and then you sang a verse from

a jig."
"Y'es; and my wife hod missed the

Moments of History.
Elizabeth was about to step on the
cloak that Raleigh put down in front
when a sudden thought struck her.
"Has it been sterilized?" she asked
sternly.
It was evident by Raleigh's look of
sudden dismay that he had been guilty
of gross neglect
"It only goes to show." said Elizabeth,
stinging him through her lorgnette
as she was lifted over the puddle,
"how even one who loves me so much
may grow criminally careless."?Philadelphia
Ledger.
A Secondary Consideration.
The demure comedienne has closed,
with the impresario and has agreed
to create the leading role in the new
comic opera.
"And now," says the impresario,
"what figure would you want for the
season?"
"Oh," she titters, with an affectation
of embarrassment, "had we not best
leave that to the costumer?"?Judge.
In Doubt.
"Do you think that the theatrical
profession leads to unhappy marriages?"
"I have never been able to decide."
answered the manager, '^whether a
stage career leads to divorce or divorce
leads to a stage earecr."?Washington
Star.
Reporter.
"Ah," he said to her over their Ice
cream, "it Is very sweet, but not so
sweet as you."
"It is soft," she returned promptly,
"but not so soft as you."
"And it is cold." he concluded, "but
so cold as you."?Philadelphia Press.
For Her Sake.
"Why do you argue with your wife?"
asked the bachelor. "Don't you know
the futility of it?"
"Of course," replied the married man.
"But I have to allow her a little pleasure
once in awhile."?Philadelphia Record.
