The Lexington Dispatch, LEXINGTON, S. 0., Circulation, 1,700. Wednesday, June 22, 1904. Congres?ujn?< L'-v>r will have a lonesome tim?* d.the present campaign and will have to make the race all by himself. In other words be will have no opposition. Congress- j man Lever deserves this compliment j as be has been faithful to every trusi given into bis keeping by his codstitutents. true to their every interest, and has zealously and successfully labored to promote their condition in all relations of life. And as he has been given a time to rest from bis labors aDd take a breathing spell, he has opened his headquarters thin All communications r either of a public or private nature should te addressed to bim at this post office and will be given prompt attention. The South Carolina College offers scholarships in the Normal Department to two young men from each couDty. Each scholarship is worth $40 in money, besides remission of 840 tuition aDd $18 matriculation or ''term" fee. The money is paid at the rate of $5 a month for eight " months, to assist in meeting the necessary liviDg expenses. Examinations will be held Friday, July 8th, before the CouDty Board of Education. Applicants should be at least 19 years of age, and preferably teachers. Write President Benjamin SIord, South Carolina College, Columbia, S- C, for blank on which to appear before July 8tb. At MacoD, Ga, Judge Speer handed down two decisions in the cases of Fab Chung and Foon Wing, the two Chioamfn held in Bibb county jail under the provisions of the exclusion act. The court overruled the point made bv the attorney for the defend ante tbst coming into this country from Hongkong, which is a British territory, and being British subjects' they were not subject to the inhibition of the Chinese exclusion act. Judge Speer held that the act affected a Chinamen whether he came direct from China or the territory of another country. Hon. John C. Sbeppard, of Edge field, has declined to enter the race for Congressman from the Second District. Ha says, however, that he does not wist it to be understood that he has abated in the slightest degree his interest in public matters, nor does he wish it to be understood that he has abandoned aspirations for furtber'association with the pub lie service. Dees this mean that Mr. Sheppard is grooming to enter the gubernatorial race next campaign? The two Miller boys and McCorXDiek, charged with having wontonly "killed an inoffensive negro man named Hicbard Truesdale, on a public highway in Salnda county, have* gone to 'the Court House and surrendered to the Sheriff of that county. For the sake of law and order we trust that there will be a searching investigation of this case made by the court when it convenes. State Treasurer Jennings returned last week from New Y jrk, where he borrowed $300,000 more to meet the expenses of the State government. This, in addition to the $200,000 previously borrowed to pay the pension claims, makes $500,000 which the State has recently borrowed. I& may be of interest to some of our readers to know that the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co., is suing hanlrrimf, "Alliance Store." of Co lumbia, to get possession of the $1,669 the latter concern had on deposit in the Palmetto bank. The stockholders of the 4 Store" will lose what they pat in it. Oue of the cardinal principles of this government is the right of trial by jury; yet the Republican administration has denied the Filipino this right and has placed the poor mongrel citizen in the clutches of martial law. ! I Mr. A. B. Watson, of Hiberna, suffered a considerable loss by fire ou the nigbfc of June 14. His canDing outfit, gin bouse and about 1,000 bundles of wheat were consumed. Lose, about $2,000. The disaster to the steam ship Slocnm. which recently burnt to the wateredge in New York, is phcfd up'.n the officers and crew of the ill fated vesee). Tbe State campaign opened at Sumter yesterday. It was a tame affiir. R. F. D. Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The following piece of delightful information will make the long suffering horse laugh. On and after July 1, 1094, tbe rural mail carrier will not be permitted to let sdv one ride with him while on the route. So don't ask your carrier to let you ride, ycu may cause him to lose his job. Don't ask ! him to bring ycu a bottle of whisky, j for bless tbe the Lord, Uncle Sam 1 7 i says he can't do it. I like my Uncle Sammie now more than ever. He will be glad to accomodate you in any other way and will l^rrr/ir? f ^ Vn-incr vnn anvthinf* UC ?UUncu \.v J ^" ? ? j r? from a yard of calico to a bottle of Bitemairs drop3. Now grease up ail your rusty locks aud keep your box in good repair. Last night's rain has refreshed the growing crops and made the despondent farmer more hopeful This leads me to sav: Trust in Gcd and plow right on. Miss Bessie Clark, who ha3 been studying in the Leesville College, is now at home on Black creek. Take your church, county and State paper, and stay up with the times. Mr Editor, now hold your breath while I tell you that Mrs. Anna Hallman, of this town, recently caught an 8 pound trout with hook and line Her husband, who dosen't like to be outdone at the fishing business, threw in his minnow and pulled out a 6 pounder and then seeing luck had turned his way hooked another very much larger, (the one we miss is alwavs much larger} he proceeded to let bim play for the fun of the thing, when lo and behold, all Bt once he gave a flounce and cff the hook he went. Then Lewie said it made his back hurt. Now we have no disposition to be in any way bossy, but would suggest a few questions for all those poor, deluded souls who offer for the place of road commissioner. 1st. Do you propose to be aB sorry as your predecessors? 2ad. Are you in favor of good roads, or do you simply want a good salary ? 3rd. If elected do you promise to see that all the roots and grubs out of the fields are thrown into the roads? Of course you will not be allowed to stake off roads through fields. You might make some body mad and thereby loose a vote. Besides that would imnrove the roads and these. r - # like most of those who have gone before you have done, you must carefully guard against. Go over the roads but don't see anything, wear a high collar, and work only for the dollars. Klondike. Lewiedale, June 20, 1904.
