L Adams, Fredonia Ala, took Botanic Biood Balm which effectually cured an eating cancer of the nose and face. The sores healed up perfectly. Many doctors had given up her case as hopeless. Hundreds of cases of cancer, eatiDg sores, eupperating swellings, etc., have been cured by Blood Balm. A mong others, Mrs. B. M. Guerney, Warrior Stand, Ala. Her nose and lip were raw as beef, rtflFflnftive discharge from the eating sore. Doctors advised cutting, bnt it failed. Blood Balm healed the sores, and Mrs. Guerney is as well as ever. Botanic Blood Balm also cures eczema, itching humors, scabs and scales, bone pains, ulcers, offensive pimples, blood poison, carbuncles, scrofula, risings and bumps on the skin and all blood troubles. Drug, gists, SI per bottle. Sample of Botanic Blood Balm free and prepaid by writing Blood Balm Co., Atlanta Ga.

Tbe first bale of new cotton was sold jesterday to W. P- Roof by Messrs. James and "West Caughman. The price paid for it was 124 cents. It weighed 390 pounds aDd $48.75 was put in the pockets of the raisers. A few minutes later Mr. George W. Corley sold the secord bale to Mr. Roof. It weighed 543 pounds, which,at 12 J cents per pound,brought $67 86. The third bale of 479 pounds was sold to Mr. Roof by John P. Corley for $57 48. Monday Sidney. Corley carried a I 503 pounds bale to Columbia, which he sold to E. T. Tarrar for 12 and 1 one tenth cents, which made ?60 86. These figures eloquently speak for themselves and teil a tale that the cotton planter should heed. | I Better Bead or a Change. A call meeting of the citizens of Sandy Run, Lexington county, S. C, was held at the Red Store, on the 27th of August, 1903. The meeting ! was called to order by Mr. Lee Mullep. Messrs. tT. A. Wolfe was elected chairman and A. H. Wolfe secretary. The object of the meeting was explained by the chairman, that is, to elect a committee to meet the Supervisor, County Commissioners and other citizens at Congaree creek bridge, on State road, at 10 a. m , on Saturday next, to consult and devise some way of putting the State road through Haughabook swamp in a passable way for traveling, or change the road for a better one. It was moved and adopted that a committe of three be elected for said purpose. The following were elected: Messrs. T. M. Nelson, J. A Wolfe and Lee Muller. The following resolutions were then offered and adopted: 1. That it is the sense of this meeting that a competent surveyor be employed to survey and ascertain the cost of repairing the present road and the cost of opening up a new road around the swamp, and as to which would give the best permanent road bed. 2. That it is the sense of this meet ing that the Supervisor, the Commissioner and the Road Overseers on that part of the road deserve the condemnation and censure of the people of this community for the manner in which they have neglected the working of said road; our main market road, leading from this place to the city of Columbia, also beiDg our only public highway to the county seat. 3. That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Lexington Dispatch, and when we adjourn we adjourn to meet at 4 p m., on Friday, the 4th day of September next to receive the report of said committee.

I ^ &"***#* XO Oil I Take Laxative Bron I Seven Million boxes sold In past 12 n a A Word to Lexington Teachers. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Having had the privilege of teaching for the past two years in the Lexington county summer school, I feel as if I knew well the public school teachers of your county. In the last number of your paper appears a tabulated list giviDg the grades attained in various studies during the late session of the school. m. _t a:, i :?4. X06 pUDHCaHOn Oi ILllB n at uas prompted me to ask you for space to address a few words to the Lexington teachers. I shall confine my remarks to subjects taught by myself in the school last month. First, I wish to say that it is surprising how many teachers or wouldbe teachers attained low grades in composition and United States history. In most cases this was not due, I believe, to any lack of earnestness on the part of the teacher-pupils. Almost all attending the school worked faithfully and diligently during the entire session. I feel sure that the reason why several failed on these subjects is because of the fact that the studies are not given proper attention in the schools of the county. No child has even the foundations of a good "schooling" who cannot ex press his own thoughts correctly in writing. This should b9 the most important subject in a public school course. Then no boy or girl is fitted to be an American citizen who does not know something of his country's history. Let me beg of the teachers of Lexington and all other counties not to neglect these two studies. You may understand them well yourself; see that your pupil does likewise. * AgaiD, while I do not know what action the County Board of Education has taken, I suppose that some who attended the school regularly perhaps failed to get certificates or renewal of certificates to teach. I have no doubt that these young men and women feel discouraged. They probably made some sacrifices to attend the school, worked hard during the ses&ion, and after all failed to obtain what they were working for. If a boy or girl at school should have this experience, he would be disheartened. I do not think teachers should feel exactly the same way. The boy or girl is placed in the class for which he is prepared and is ex pected to keep up with his fellows. But if any teacher has failed, it ie probably due to a lack of sufficient preparation before the Summer School began. That teacher is not fitted to teach yet; perhaps a year more aB a pupil in a good school will be sufficient. Some people who wist to teach have more ambition thar preparation. What I have had to say concerns only those few who have not beer successful. Most of the Lexingtor teachers do not need such encourage. ment. As we stated to the schoo the work done this year was *in the main very satisfactory to the instruc tors. In number of teachers attend ing, interest shows, and earnestnest of work, I think Lexington will com pare favorably with almost all othei counties in the State. Robt. A. Law.

Same food, same home, same care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak.
