The Lexington Dispatch. > Wednesday, October 14,1903. Dots From Bread River. To the Editor of the Dispatch: 1 It has been a long time since I have seen anything from this section so I thought I would send yon a few items: The cotton crop is very short; corn is pretty good. I think we will make plenty to do us as well as all other necessary supplies. Mr. 8nd Mrs. J. H. Derrick have been called to the bedside of the father of the former, who i3 reported * to be ill. Mrs. Martha Ellisor is in very feeble health. fT? A T71 T ? v, HOD. Ol. JC . J-JCVOI U.lauc a Li Oiuquent address at Folk's School House on the road question and on the subject of education. There is not much visiting being done in this neighborhood at present. The farmers are too busy in the fields * and the good housewives in the kitchen to attend to their social duties. Mr. J. E. Haltiwanger has improved the outbuildings on his place by touching them up with the paiut brush. Mr. S J. Sligh is speaking of renting his place and moving back to Columbia. We regret to lose him ^ from our community for he is a good neighbor. Our loss is Columbia's gain. Red Haw. October 5,1902. P. S. Since the above was written T kaTTa ronaioad aad infcp.llicrpnea JL 4VVW?f */?? www n that Mr. David S. Metz died last night at 10:30 o'clock and will be buried tomorrow at 10 o'clock at the Blue church. I can truly say that Mr. Metz was true to all his obligations, and especially to the obligations due his God. Bed Haw. A Dozen Times A NightMr. Owen Dunn, of Benton Ferry, W. Yd., writes: ilI have had kidney and bladder trouble for years, and it became so bad that I was obliged to y get up at least a dozen times a night. I never received any permanent bene^ fit from any medicine until I tried Foley's Kidney Cure. After using two bottles, I am cured." The Kaufmann Drug Co. - Mrs. B. B. Tillman Hurt. Augusta, Ga., October 7 ?A special to the Herald from Edgefield says that Mrs. B. R Tillman, wife of < the Senator, and her son, B B Tillman, Jr., were injured iu arun-a-way yeeterday. They were driving to home in Trenton when the horse became unmanageable and in the rana-way that followed Mrs. Tillman - * .i * 11 ana ner son wnere mrown irom me vehicle and eustained painful gashes about the head. Drs. Tompkins and Marsh are attending them and say that injuries are not severe and they will soon recover. Spent More Than $1,000. W. W. Baker, of Biainview, Neb., writes: "My wife suffered from lung trouble for fifteen years. She tried a number of doctors and spent over $1000 without relief. She became very low and lost all hope. A friend recommended Foley's Honey and Tar and thanks to this great remedy it saved her life. She enjoys better health than she has known in ten years." Refuse substitutes. The Kaufmann Drug Co. General Butler's Condition. A Richmond, Va., of October 5, to the Washing Post, says: "General ""M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, while coming South yesterday on a ' Seaboard Air Line train, was struck on the head and seriously wounded by a stone thrown through the Pull- I man window. His scalp was cut and one of his ears nearly severed. Gen* eral Butler had his wounds dressed on the train and telegraphed for his family physician to meet him at home, bat would not stop here for further ^ treatment. No other passenger was injured, although Miss N. B. Winston, of Glen Allen, narrowly missed by being struck. Edgefield, S. C , Oct., 7.?Nothing can be learned here of General Butler's condition since he was injured near Washington, in a Pullman car by a rock goiDg through the window r and striking him on the head. He came right through and arrived in Augusta Monday night and the physicians there attended him and he went to his plantation on the Savannah river. It is not thought he is badly injured. Caleb Powers' Appeal. Gergetown, Ky., October?The attorneys in the base of Caleb Powers, after several hours' work in the special term of court, convened by Special Judge Robbing for the purpose, filed this afternoon the bill of exception in order to get the case before the Kentucky court of appeals. TFrt* fWat? ffivf.tr * V* v r v* w*M?jr Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been in use for over sixty years by millions of mothers for their children while teething, with perfect success. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic, and is the best remedy for Diarrhoea. It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately. Sold by Druggist in every part of the world. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure to ask for Mrs. "Winslow's Soothing Syrup," and take no other kind, tf A Century Old. Interesting memorial services will be held by the Methodists of Columbia on the last Sunday in October, says the Columbia Evening Record. The services will commemorate the one hundreth anniversary of the founding ot Methodism in Columbia and will also observe the two hundreth birth day of the founder of the creed, John Wesley. This birthday was on on June 2S, but it was decided at the time to combine the two events and accordingly the pastors of the several churches of that denomination have arranged the details of the services to be held. Broke Into Sis Souse. S. Le Quinn, of CavendiBb, Yfc, was robbed of bis customary health by invasion of Chronic Constipation. When Dr. King's New Life Pills broke into bis house, his trouble was arrested and now he's entirely cured. They're guaranteed to cure, 25c., at the Kaufmann Drug Co. The Suit Drop. Word has been received in Columbia that the suit againBt Mr. J. T. Harris, ) proprietor of the White Stone Lithia Springs hotel, filed by Miss Bayesen for alleged libel, has been withdrawn. Miss Boyesen, it will be remembered, was charged with robbing other guests at the hotel and afterwards filed suit for $50,000 for libel. She died recently in Asheville and as a suit of this kind cannot be handed down to other relatives, under the law, it has been dropped. 4 . Cures Rheumatism and Catarrh. Medicine Sent Free. Send no money?simply write and try Botanic Blood Balm at our expense. Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) kills or destroys the poison in the blood which causes the awful aches in back and shoulder blades, shifting pains, difficulty in moving fingers, toes or legs, bone pains, swollen muscles and joints of rheumatism, or the foul breath, hawking, spitting, droppings in throat, bad hearing, specks flying before the eyes, all played out feeling of catarrh. Botanic Blood Balm has cured hundreds of cases of 30 or 40 years standing after doctors, hot springs and patent medicines had all failed. Most of these cured patients had taken Blood Balm as a last resort. It is especially advised for chronic, deep seated cases. Impossible for any one to suffer the agonies or symptoms of rheumatism or catarrh after taking Blood Balm. It makes the blood pure and ricb, thereby giving a healthy blood supply. Cures are permanent and not a patching up. Sold at drug stores, $1 per bottle. Sample of Blood Balm sent free and prepaid, also special medical advice hv vnnr trnnhla and writ. ??a j ing Blood Balm Co, Atlanta, Ga.

SeLeca. Tint'sPills FOR TORPID LIVER. A torpid liver deranges the whoie system, and produces SICK HEADACHE, ?. Dyspepsia, Costiveness,Rheu- j matism, Sallow Skin and Piles. | There is no better remedy for these | common diseases than DR. TUTT'S LIVER PILLS, as a trial will prove. Take No Substitute. The Georgia agricultural depart- j ment estimates the cotton crop of j " ^ -l i at/? nnn u ? i I Iliac ocact) at 1,UIU,UUU uaieo a^aiuat 1,460,000 last jear. If the people of Lexington will put their shoulders to the wheel and give a steady push the town will be greatly benefited. The Abbeville Medium is of the opinion that this generation owes the negro nothing, and in this conclusion it is pretty near correct. A Love Letter Would not interest you if you're looking for a guaranteed Salve for seres, bums or piles. Otto Dodd, of Ponder, Ho., writes: "I suffered with an ugly sore for a year, but a box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve cnred me. Its the best Salve on earth. 25c , at the Kaufmann Drug Company. The Seaboard Air Line Railway is said to be financially embarrassed and an indulgence is asked by its management of the creditors. The companies owning coal mines in Pennsylvania have ordered their mines to work on short time in order to keep up the price of coal. The first football casualty of the season i3 reported from Chicago, where Augustus Becker, a student at Lake Forest, had his back broken. Many Mothers of a Like Opinion, Mrs. Pilmer, of Cordova, Iowa, i says: "One of my children was subject to croup of a severe type, and the giving of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy promptly, always brought relief. Many mothers in this neighborhood think the same as I do about this remedy and want no other kind for their chidren." For sale by The Kaufminn Drug Co. International trade touches as many divers and interesting articlers as an "old country shop" handles. One of the latest and curious items is cat-o-nine-tails. A Maine man lately shipped 200 barrels to London, last year he sent 450 barrels. It is odd that there should bd little demand in | the United States for an article which I grows so commonly here, while is London there is constantly widening market. The downy doss of the head of the cat-tail is U8ed for filling highpriced sofa pillows and cushions. As long a9 Brazil continues to grow 15,000,000 bags of coffee, j which was nearly the amount of her : last year's product and about' the [ estimated amount of the world's j consumption, there is no probability j that coffee will advance in price. "Watch the Kidneys" "When they are affected, life is in danger," says Dr. Abernethy, the great English physician. Foley's Kidney Cure makes sound kidneys. The Kaufmann Drug Co. i Four masked men held up a train | near St. Joseph, Mo, and dynamited j the safe in the express car, getting ! moDey estimated at from $5,000 to $10,0*00. Id should be borne in mind that Lexington ia one of the best cotton markets in the State. No matter j how high cotton is quoted in other j markets, Lexington will go a point or so higher. | Subscribers receiving the Dispatch j cut of this county will please watch | j the date on their address label and j | send in their renewals before their j j subscription expires, if they wish ' their paper continued. Bronchitis for 20 Years. i . i Mrs. Minerva Smith, of Danville, < Id, write*: "I had bronchitis for | twenty jears and never got relief j I until I used Folej's Honey end Tar ; which is a sure cure." The Kauf! rnann D;*ug Co. i Color Line. Crawfordville, lad., October 18 ? Manager Eller, of the Wabash football team, received a letter from H. T. Watson, manager of the Rose Polytechnic league, today, stating that they consider football a social game and as a matter of principle would Dot play if GordoD, a colored player, was allowed to participate. The game has been cancelled. War Imminent. Berlin, October 7 ?It has been learned here today that all of the vessels in the German squadron now in American waters have been ordered to assemble off the Iiaytian coast or in the vicinity of Jamaica with the view to being ready for immediate dispatch to Central America. The recent events at Cindad, Bolivar and in Venezuela together with President Castro's recent conduct are believed to have caused war. Cures Chills and Fever. G. W. Wrirt, Nacogodohes, Texas, says: "His daughter bad chills and fever for three years; he could not find anything that would help her till he used Herbine. His wife will v not keep house without it, and cannot say too much for it." 50c. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. JUST A LITTLE OF "STOTTIES TJlvdIB Where Do You Buy?
