The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 12, 1903.& The Social Glass. [Written for the Dispatch.] There is not a young man but who does not look upon a drunken man with horror and disgust, without any desire to ever be caught in the stupor of a drunkard. But he will get among friends and take the social glass with them?the first step i.l_. _ J _ m.a ?/I m/na/Q 4/% rri/ift om OH lUtJ uuwuwaiu lUttU tu v iv-c, Diu, crime and everything that is mean and degrading to mankind. The social glass has done more toward making drunkards than all the confirmed drunkards in the world could ever do. It haB caused more misery, more woe; filled more untimely graves with young husbands, caused more heartaches, more vacant chairs in the family circle, more widows and orphans than any other evil upon the topside of God's green earth. Young man, if you could only call for that hideous mass of skeletons from the graves of those who have sunk into a drunkard's hell from the social glass and listen to the wails of t woe and gnashing of teeth, perhaps you could realize a part of the dam age done by the social glass. The man who takes his social glass j is setting an example not only before his own sons, but before all the boys of his neighborhood, inviting them to take that awful step that will degrade them for life and cause them to fill a drunkard's grave. O! young man, stop and think for awhile before you take that awful leap; thiDk of mother; think of all that is manly in you, and above all think of that soul which is within your body to live either in eternal misery or in eternal bliss in the presence of Almighty God, decide to never touch the social glass.

Lewiedale, August 3, 1903. Save The Children. Ninety-nine of every one hundred diseases that children have are due to disorders of the stomach, and these disorders are all caused by indigestion. Kodol Dyspepsia cure is just as good for children as it iB for adults. Children thrive on it. It keeps their little stomach sweet and encour ages their growth and development. Mrs. Henry Carter, 705 Central St., Nashville, Ten., says: "My little boy is now three years old and has been suffering from indigestion ever since he was born. I have had the best doctor in Nashville, but failed to do him any good. After using one bottle of Kodol he is a well baby. I recommend it to all sufferers." Kodol digests what you eat and makes the stomach sweet. Sold by ail druggists. Thor Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Will you please allow me space in your colums to inform your readers that there is such a place in this county as Thor, and that this neighborhood is still in a lively condition. A much needed rain has again come to our relief. Crops generally are in a fine condition, as they usually are, though they are somewhat injured by the drought. It seems that some of our neighj bors in the outskirts of other oounj ties are envious of the prosperity and | happiness of Lexington and are bo hungry for some of our territory till they have again started the new county scheme. We would be glad | if our neighbors across the border would let us rest in peace by ceasing the useless and unprofitable agitation. When we covered that scheme with adverse bal ots we hoped that we had Bettled the question once for all and that the Legislature would erect a substantial headstone in memory to the defeated movem6 t. The health of these parts is good at this time when we are not annoyed with gnats, mosquitoes, agents or new county agitators, but we hope to recover from these afflictions at an early date. Well, as for good roads. Tell that man from the Fork that the few little mill men can't build roads. It is all they can do to live. But let us not shirk our part. We all can have a lasting job in old Lexington building roads. Well, Mr. Editor, we hope to see you in our parts soon. If this meets your approval I may some day give you what I think a good road lecture. In the meantime I remain your humble scribe, X. T. Z. Potent Pill Pleasure. The pills that are potent in their action and pleasant in effect are DeWitt's Little Early Risers. W. S. Philpoto, of Albany, Ga., says "During a boilious attack I took one. Small as it was it did me more good than calomel, blue-mass or any other pill I ever took and at the same time it effected me pleasantly. Little Early Risers are certainly an ideal pill."

The country clergyman was nailing a refractory creeper to a piece of trellis work near his front gate when he noticed that a Rmall hnr had atnn ped and was watching him with great attention. "Well, my young friend," he said, i pleasantly, to see the interest he exi cited, "are you looking for a bint or I two on gardening?" "No," said the youth. "I be waiting to hear what a parson says when he hammers his thumb-" Sat All You Want. Persons troubled with indigestion or Dyspepsia can eat all they want if they will take Kodol Dyspepsia cure. This remedy prepares the stomach for the reception, retention, digestion and assimilation of all of the wholesome food that may be eaten, and enables the digestive organs to transform the same into the kind of blood that gives health and strength.

The money secured by Senator Tillman from the United States government for the claims helped out considerably, this being about $82,000, and had it not been this it is not known exactly what the state would have done. The need for the commission on taxes appointed at the last Legislature to get together and devise some means to get the State on a cash besis is shown when the State Treasurer will find it necessary to borrow $175,000 to meet the general expenses of the State government. The Legislature provided for the borrowing of $300,000, if so much be necessary, for the State government; $100,000 nf which was to be used for Den 8ion pupo868 and $200,000 for general expenses. Only about $75,000 of the pension money was borrowed, but as all pensions have been paid no more can be borrowed on this account this year. Of the general fund of $300,000 the State Treasurer has borrowed already $125,000, leaving a margin of $175,000. A great deal of thi3 money was UBed for the paying of interest on bonds which was payable last month and other expenses, and the State Treasurer is nf fhp nnininn that hfi will iust about ? J run to tbe end of December on the other $175,000 which he will be obliged to borrow. DeWitt Is The Name. When you go to buy Witch Hazel Salve look for the name DeWitt on every box. The pure, unadulterated Witch Hazel is used in making DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, which is the best salve in the world for cuts, burns, bruises, boils, eczema and piles. The popularity of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, due to its many cures, has caused numerous worthless counterfeits to be placed on the market. The genuine bears the name of E. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago Sold by all druggists. The Zing Snake'o Prowess. The most relentless exterminator of reptiles is a member of the family itself?the beautiful, lithe, yellow and black king snake, the friend of man and the avowed enemy of anything that creeps or crawls regardless of size or poison fang. A native of our own South, the king snake is between five and eight feet long and no thicker around than a man's thumb. Built in every muscle and bone for speed and tremendous constricting power, there is not another snake on earth that can withstand his assault. He is immuned to the poison of tbe cobra and of the rattler alike, and tbe strength of a 30 foot python has no terrors for him. Within five minutes from the opening of the fight the king snake could kill the biggest python that ever lived. Ferocious as the little ;onetrictor is toward his own kinu, toward man he is friendly and rarely A l A _ a i - ? iriea iu eauapt) wueii met, Bneia. Bronchitis for Twenty YearsMrs. Minerva Smith, of Danville, III, writes: "I had bronchitis for twenty years and never got relief until I used Foley's Honey and Tar which is a sure cure. TheKaufmann Drug Co. Hurtful to Farmers. The proposition of the York convention to sell the State farms and require ali able-bodied convicts to work the roads mav be taken as instructions by the York delegation, as the resolution of Mr. Ardrey and adopted by the convention undoubtedly reflects the sentiment in this county. Mr. Ardrey'a statement that a half million bales of cotton is annually produced on convict farms in competition with men who are forced to be farmers, ought to show the urgency of the adoption of therecom mendation. If the people of the State could be made to understand how hurtful to the State's best interests is the policy of growing cotton with convict labor the system would go with the next sitting of the legislature.?Rock Hill Herald. White Man LynchedAeotin, Wash., August 5 ?William Hamilton, a white man, and a well to do farmer, who confessed to the murder of Mabel Richards, was taken from jail and lynched by a mob of a thousand men shortly after midnight. | The mob had been gathering all day j yesterday, and Sheriff Richards, of | Asotin county, father of Hamilton's ! victim, did all in his power to prevent ! the lynching. He had sworn in 25 deputies and kept them on guard at the jail last night. Twelve or fifteen masked men marched to the county jail, overpowered the deputies, took the prisoner and hanged him to a guy wire. They left the body hanging on the street. The girl victim was only thirteen years old.

Jeroms Hotel Privilege. The directors of the State dispensary have granted a tourists' hotel privilege to the manager of the new Jerome hotel, Mr. James Flannigan. It is understood that Col. F. M. Mixon will be the one in charge cf the business of this hotel privilege. He said Thursday that the application to ths State Board had the endorsement of every member of the county board, of the members of the legislative delegation and of the members of the city council. The hotel privilege will be something new around these parts. There are three or four others in the State?at North Augusta, the Isle of Palms and one or two other resorts. Col. Mixon says that he will keep the place open at night, and unless objection is raised by the State Board, will probably sell beer on draught, mixed drinks, etc. This he says 19 not m violation 01 the dispensary law'srestrictions. The State Board has also decided to allow Charleston to have an additional beer bottling establishment. It is understood that D. H. Goble will succeed Col. Mixon at the beer dispensary at the Columbia hotel. CHICHESTER'S ENGLISH PFHHVRflYA! PIS I? At Safr. Always reliable.
