To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Well, I 8m here sgaiD, and should
have been sooner but have been on a
two week's visit and failed to come
in the columns of the dear old Dispatch
on schedule time. Notwithstanding
my pfemiog negligence I
read them each k without fail.
On March 3l-r, Mr. Joseph Arekardt
and Mi.-s Ruggie Day wtre !
happily joined in the holy boDds of j
wedlock, Rev. J. A. Cromer perform- !
ing the ceremony. May it always be
day and no night ever pass over their
happiness is the wish of their many
friends here.
Brookland high school has closed.
The exercises were splendid, consisting
of music, dialogues, decltma
lions, marches, drills, etc., too numerous
to mention them all, but they
were all certainly good and gave
credit to both teachers and pupils.
The Easter services in all the
churches were well attended. Fine
sermons were delivered and the decorations
were beautiful.
Kev. Walter S. Henry, pastor of
the Methodist church, is able to be
out after an illness of a few days.
The little son of Mr. and Mrs. E.
E Felder is improving rapidly after
undergoing a very serious operation.
Mr. E. W. Shull has been confined
to bis bed for the past two
weeks, is able to attend to his business
to the delight of his many
friends.
The proprietors of the flying trapeze
offered a handsome gold watch to
the joung lady receiving the most

Rev. N. A. Kern wick and Messrs.
J. A. Gayden and R S. Wilson were
elected delegates from Lexington
Lodge I 0. 0. F., to the Grand

elected with W. D. Dent as alternate.
Our citizens are proud of the military
company which has been drilling
regularly since its organization, under
Captain R. L. Shuler, ably assisted
by Lieutenant A. D. Sbull.
The company is anticipating a

Brookland expansion is the serious
qaestion of tbe day now. Some favor
expansion?some do not. Tbe
corporate limits of tbe town should
be extended further than they are 60
that we could have better protection
in every way. However, the election
will soon come c ff and the people
will see whether expansion is favor- i
able or unfavorble. I am in favor of
expansion and also tbe trolly line
through Biookland. Why should
we oppose any improvement to our
towL? Why should it not grow to
be as much so as far as possible its
big capital's sister.
Mr. J. A Seay, one of our best
1 citizens and an up to-date farmer,
who is well known all over the
country as one of those "get-cp-get
fellows, bad the luck a few days ago
of killing something of tbe feathery
tribe known as the large eagle, meas- ,
uring eix (6) feet and a few inches.* ,
Mr. Johnnie Bachman is all smiles

I will make my appearance again
in the columns of the Dispatch within
a short time, in the meantime I
remain whistling 8nd siDgiDg the

Damage Industry.
Columbia Evening Record.
If the railroads were compelled to J
pay the full amount of the damages |
demanded in the suits entered against
ibem in this State, it is likely that
the profits from the business in the 1
State would not meet it. Seldom is i
I
there a court held anywhere in the j
State that somebody has not a suit.I
for enormous amounts considering !
the alleged injuries done. As a rule
juries are always against the roads, ,
so that yearly thousands of dollars
are assessed against them. South
Carolina is not peculiar in this re- !
spect, but the damage industry seems !
more flourishing just now in these j
"I loot oourapa and thought 3
would new regain my health
"Three years of delicate health
trying doctors' prescriptions and
patent medicines" without benefit
might well sap the courage of any
woman. And vet Mrs. Bryant proved
that the question of the cure of womanly
disease is only a question of
using the right remedy. A few doses
of 4 Favorite Prescription ' restored
her courage and revived Isfr hope,
I because she could see "a decided
change from the first." Three
months' use of the medicine restored
her to perfect health.
, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
cures irregularity, aries weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulceration,
and cures female weakness.
1.Irs. Sarah Bryant. President of Memphis
Social Science Club, residing at 271 Atkinson
Ave., Memphis. Ttnn., writes: "I suffered
with delicate health for three years, trying
doctors' prescriptions and patent medicines
until I lost courage and thought I would
never regain my health; but a few doses of
your 'Favorite Prescription' made me change
my mind. Could see a decided change from
the first, so I kept on taking it for three
months faithfully and am now in perfect
health."
Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser, in
paper covers, is sent free on receipt
of 21 one-cent stamps to pay expense

Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y,
parts. There are legitimate causes
for suits, of course, but we venture
that a great majority of them are J
not and we have seen it^aseerted that
some lawyers are responsible for
many of tbem, encouraging those
with some alleged grievances to bring
? ?.% * L
suit so tnat toe lawyer may pet boiuh
pickings out of what may be awarded.
Politicians are largely responsible
for the attitude of juries toward
the roads because on the hustings
and in the legislature they demagogically
attempt to make it appear that
the corporations are rich and are oppressive
to the "poor man". Between
these two force, the railroads have lit
tie chance, even when they are guilty
of EOj wrong. We can suggest no
remedy for the condition unless the
legal fraternity disbars lawyers who
make such business for themselves,
and conservative public sentiment
gets so strong as to demaEd that corporations
shall bav9 the same justice
meted out to them as individuals.
The damage industry is hurtful to
the business interests of the State.
If the railroads are compelled to p^y
out thousands of dollars on account
of these suits tbey will recoup the
same way, and they can do this, by
raisiDg rates on laier-state DusieneeH i
at least. Id fairness and justice we
could't blame them.
Liver spots have spoiled many

Bad Pension Laws.
The State Pension Board has taken
important action in regard to the
careless way in which the pension
applicants are handled, and the present
faulty pension laws. A resolution
was adopted asking that at the
coming reunion in Cnatleston a committee
of one from each Congressional
District confer with the Stale
Pension Board iD regard to the
revision of the pensiou law, and
with the power to memorialize the
Legislature for a change.

From the Uhapm, r>. v.;.. im-ws; Mim
in the spring my wife and I were taken
with diarrhoea and so severe were the
pains that we called a physician who
prescribed for us. but his medicines failed
to give any relief. A friend who had
a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave
each of us a dose and we at once felt
the effects. I procured a bottle and before
using the entire contents we were
entirely cured. It is a wonderful remedy
and should be found in every household.
H. C. Bailey, Editor. This remedy is
for sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co.

! applications she decided it was the most j

tried, in fact, she is never without it
now and is at all times able to walk.

A Cure for Piles.

Carter, of Atlanta ,"Ga.. "and consulted
a physician who advised me to try a box

test resulting in a wonderful cure. He
writes, "a patient was attacked with
violent hemorrhages, caused by ulcer
ation of the stomach. 1 harl often tound
Electric Bitters excellent for acute
stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed
them. The patient gained from the
