Wednesday, August 12,1903.
f The good roads convention, which
is advertised to be held in the court
' house in this place on the 20th day
of August, is perhaps one of the
most interesting, as well as the most
important gathering of our people
that has ever assembled here. The
matter to be discussed is wide spread
in its scope and far reaching in its rebuHs.
Nearly everybody in the county
are more or lees interested in the improvement
of the public highways of
Lexington county, as they are effected
one way or another.
For the past several years the complaint
about the bad condition of our
roads have come up from every section
of the county until now the de-*
mand for their improvement is
urgent. The only question, therefore
remaining for consideration is
the most effective and at the same
time the most economical way of
permanently improving them bo that
they will be in good traveling condition
the year round.
The importance of the meeting on
the 20tb should induce the people of
every section of the county to be
present in large numbers so that the
views of our leading men can be
given and the widest discussion had.
We are assured that Senator Latimer
and Mr. F. H Hyatt, of Columbia,
President of the State Good
Beads Convention, will be present
and it is possible that Senator Tillman
will also be here that day and
we trust that there will be a large
outpouring of our people.
Of course we are unable at this
time to forecast the result of the
meeting, but we are in hopes that
something practical will be thtf outcome.
The Columbia Evening Becord
rr??bpR fho ntftrtlincr asRArtirm that
"insanity is increasing in South Carolina,"
and then with apparent seriousness,
makes the charge that much
of the crowded condition of onr Hospital
for the Insane can be ascribed
to the number of old and decrepit
people who are sent there by families
who desire to get rid of supporting
them by making them public
charges. This is a grave accusation
not only against families who
have unfortunate members as inmates
of that institution but also
against the officers of the hospital
who permits such a disreputable
practice Will our neighbor please
specify so that the innocent can escape
censure and the Board of Kegents
have some data upon which to
base an investigation.
Turkey has refused to accede to
the demands of the Powers to withdraw
her troops from Macedonia, and
by this refusal the Eastern war cloud
grows larger and more threatening.
The Turkey is in a fair way to have
its feathers neatly dressed. Its government
is a disgrace to the progress
of the Twentieth Century and an
open menace to the enlightenment of
Christianity.
Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman has
done it again, that is a pickpocket
out in the west stole bis wallet containing
his free railroad passes, and
now all the little "me-toos" in South
Carolina are kicking themselves all
over with glee.
From indications it appears that
United States Senator Arthur P.
Gorman, of Maryland, has the inside
track for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency.
Death of James B. Oswald.
James B. Oswald departed this
If* at Saxe-Gotha, August 7tb, 1903,
Hg?-d 32 years, 10 months and 29
day a. Brother Oswald was merchandising
at the time of his death.
Being a man of noble traits of
character he will be greatly missed
in the community where he lived.
He was a member of Summit Ev.
Lutheran church, and an eminent
Christian. The day before his death
was spent by him in prayer and
singing. It can be said of him that
he never has spent a nickel for
whiskey, nor has he ever tasted a
drop. Wherever there was sickness
or trouble be was there to assist.
He leaves a wife and two children
besides brothers and sisters to
mourn his loss. A single brother
from Iowa was on his way to see him
but did not arrive in time for the
funeral. His remains were interred
in the churchyard amid a multitude
of sorrowing friends. The sermon
was preached by Rev. George S.
Bearden and the services at the grave
were conducted by the Odd Fellows.
He was a brother of Mr. F. W.
Oswald of Barrs. May an All wise
Providence overrule all for good to
the bereaved ones. B.
Little Mountain Reunion.
There was a very large crowd at
the reunion of the students and
friends of Newberry college at Little
Mountain on Friday and speeches
were made by B. W. Wessinger,
Prof. S. J. Derrick, Col. E. H. AulJ,
Superintendent Wallace of Richland
and President Cromer. The Little
Mountain Reunion association elected
the following officers for the -year:
Prof. S. J. Derrick, president; D
Frank Efird, vice-president; W. Aug.
Sbealy, secretary; W. A. Counts,
treasurer.
The crowd was composed largely
of young people, and it goes without
saying, they had a good time.
Fine Results.
t_ 1
rne excellency 01 tne worn uone
by the flouring mill of Mr. E. J.
George at Laurel Falls, near this
place, on Twelve Mila creek, has
gained for this mill a wide reputation.
It now numbers among its
patrons people from nearly every
section of the county as well as many
from Richland and adjacent counties.
Yesterday Mr. W. Andrew Derrick of
near Swansea, brought a load of
wheat to be ground into dour and he
left for home in blissful anticipation
of receiving the blessings of his wife
on arriving there on account of the
snow white and nutritious bread that
will hereafter adorn her table.
Favorably Enown.
It pays to make your purchases
from a responsible house, oue that
has a reputation to suBtain therefore
cannot afford to allow goods to be
misrepresented in otder to effect a
sale. One of the most responsible
houses iu Columbia, is that of P. H
Lachicotte & Co, the well and favorably
known jewelers. They have a
line of fine watches, clocks, fashionable
jewelry and the best spectacles
The goods of this house are first
class in every particular and they
allow nothing to be misrepresented.
Every article is sold strictly on its
merits and consequently the purchasers
can rest assured that they
are not buying brass for gold. Spectacles
are fitted to the eyes and a
perfect fit is guaranteed. Call and
see Mr. Lachicotte when in Columbia.
Died from Home.
The wife of Mr. John Steele died
at her home in Georgia last week
after a long illness, and her remans
were brought to this place last Satur
day and carried to Emanuel church,
a few miles from this place for interment.
She is said to have been a
woman of bright Christian experience,
a kind neighbor and a devoted wife.
The afflicted husband has our deepest
sympathy in this hour of his deep
distress.
Any man who attempts to dodge a
bill collector is apt to be found out.

Walton Place:
"As a tonic for a worn out system,
Pcruna stands at the head in my estimation.
Its effects are truly wonderful
in rejuvenating the entire eystem. I
keep it on hand all the time, and never
have that 4 tired feeling,' as a few doses
always makes me feel like a different

Peruna will be found to effect an immediate
and lasting cure in all cases of
systemic catarrh. It acts quickly and
beneficially on the diseased mucous membranes,
and with healthy mucous membranes
the catarrh can no longer exist.
