After having several fights and great political strife with the Colombian .federation of Sooth America the State of Panama has soooeeded in establishing an independent form el government and the United States has not only given her recognition, bnt offers to aid her in driving oat the Colombian troops. Tne 'Canal treaty seems to be the main issoe and the Panama Minister is quoted aa saying: "To the Isthmian republic the canal is the oornerstone of its future expanse. To the United Slates its construction is the great achievement on which the whole world waits. Therefore for the general good delay in this matter cannot be permitted." Today marks the beginning of a new year with us. This week's issue is the first of Volume XXXIV indicating that The Dispatch has been in operatiou for thirty-three years and last week was the last issue of Volume XXXIII. Daring this time *?e have endeavored to state the facts xA current events and political issues in a fair and impartial way. Giving oar readers the plain bare facta and Jetting them draw their own conclusions and form their own opinions. "We have always tried to advocate what was right and promote the welfare of our citxZouo iu the county and slate. far, we think that we have made go^d progress and will continue our tff nU in the same direotoon. We thauk the people of Lexington county and otner places for their liberal patronage in the past and hope that the}, as well as this paper, have been benefited. The world is growing better. Compare conditions today with what they were three-quarters of a oentury ago. Look at improved church woik, bet Mr educational advantages, better and higher standards of morality. A gradual improvement is going on and instead of grumbling and fault-finding you ought to be helping on the good work Five Diepeuaary Constables have been arrested in Charleston on the onarge of assaulting Rudolph D. Waiters, a notorious Blind Tiger keeper of that place. The aotion is tor $10,000 damages. And the bond of the constables is fixed at the stiff e?m of $6,000 each. We note that the Bafcesburg Advocate has lately changed hands. The former owners Messrs J. A. Whitten, J. Frank Kneece and Hon. J. B. Towill, have sold out their interest to N. Rogers Bayly. The editorial staff of the Advocate now consists of N. Rogers Bayly, Editor and Proprietor, and Hon. John Bell To will, Associate Editor. We wish our contemporary much success under its new management. We are pleased to know that our farmers generally, have housed an unusually large crop of hay and other kinds of forage crops. So in this important item they are well ? -3 i-- ?i^nw tvK prepareu xur ueit jc?. muu *?*?. corn and pea orops and a good yield of potatoes and sorgbum, even if cotton is short, what it lacks in yield it will average well in price. So they have nothing to complain of just now. The many friends of Mr. H. I Charlie Bailey will regret to learn I that he has severed his connection with the Carolina News and accepted I a position as foreman in the office of the New Sentinel, of Barnwell, S. C. Mr. Bailey is a good newspaper man and had made many friends and rendered good service during his connection with the Carolina News. According to a special report issued by Bradstreet the cotton crop is less than that of last year. No top crop worth mentioning, but the higher prevailing prices will make the crop potentially as valuable in a money consideration. The most curious paper weight in the world belongs to the Prince of It is the mummified hand of one of the daughters of Pharaoh. The grouod has been broken for Olemson College's new agricultural hall and the work will be pushed to its completion.

A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in the Southwest reads as follows: A Prominent Mother Superior Says: " I can testify from experience to the efficiency of Peruna as one of the very best medicines, and it gives mo pleasure to add my praise to that of thousands who have used it. For years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, all remedies proving valueless for relief. Last spring I went to Colorado, hoping to be benefited by a change of climate and j while there a friend advised me to try j Peruna. After using two bottles I found j myself very much improved. The re! mains of my old disease being now so slight, I consider myself cured, yet for a while I intend to continuo the use of Peruna. I am now treating another patient with your medicine. She has been sick with malaria and troubled with leucorrhsea. I have not a doubt that a cure will he speedily effected." | These are samples of letters received ! by Dr. Hartman from the various orders of Catholic Sisters throughout the United States. The names and addresses to these letters have been withheld from respect j to the Sisters but will be furnished upon j request. One-half of the diseases which afflict I mankind are due to some catarrhal dej rangement of the mucous membrane ! lining some organ or passage of the j body. j A remedy that would act immediately ! upon tlie congested mucous membrane 'restoringit to its normal state, would j consequently cure all these diseases, j Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, whether it he in the head, throat, lungs, ' stomach, kidneys, or pelvic organs. A i remedy that will cure it in one location will cure it in all locations. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and lie will | be pleased to give you his valuable adj vice gratis.
