The Lexington Dispatch, LEXINGTON, 8. C.. Circulation, 1,7^4. Wednesday, June 29, 1904. We publish no the Gih page of this issue a collection of eomplimen- i tary notices from thn newspapers published in the otb Judicial Circuit, in reference to Col. George Bell Timmerman and his candidacy for the Solicitorship. What has been said of bim has been well and truthfolly said, and is a fitting tribute to j a chaste, pure and Christian life. Mr. Timmerman is a young man of more than ordinary intelligence and legal ability. He has had considerable experience in handling criminal business of the court, having served instead of Solicitor Thurmond, as Solicitor during several terms of court. Mr. Timmerman is well equipped by education and talent to faithfully and acceptably discharge the duties of the office to which be aspires and the electors in giving him their support will never regret having done so. He is a young man of unimpeachable character and of uncompromising integrity and will make, if elected, a Solicitor in whom the whole Circuit will feel proud of. Having cast his lot in our midBt and takiDg a lively interest in our business and social affairs, he can reasonably expect' to receive the undivided support of the Democracy of Lexington County, which no doubt be will get. \ =========== The Summer School for teachers will open at this place on July 13th with Prof J. R. T. Major, Principal and W. D. Schoenberg, Assistant. This is an excellent faculty and one that sbonld be encouraged by a large attendance of the teachers of the couDty. This school will only continue for two weeks unless there is an attendance Qf over twenty teachers, otherwise it will continue for four weeks. This being the case every teacher should make it a point to be present at its opening and remain until it clgses. These schools are a great help to teachers for they fABffVt them hnw tn teach, and the more they understand this art the more efficient will they become and the better will bs their pay. , . After having more vessels destroyed than are in the navies of the nations and more soldiers killed than the combined armies of the world, the press dispatches informs us that Russia is "is losing heart," and .8 willing to acknowledge the supremacy of the yellow race over the intelligence and enlightment of the white. The Republican Nominating Con* vention says that it shall be Theodore Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks. This is considered a weak ticket and the Democrats should win , out easily in the general election. The Columbia Chamber of Com coerce faas leased the steamer Ruth, of the Waccamaw Line of Steamers, 1 i of Conway, to take the place of the Steamer Highlander, recently destroyed by fire, between Columbia and Georgetown. The Governor and "his Cabi- 1 nenVffi have returned from the : campaign, leaving the candidates for i Railroad Commissioner with an open field and small audiences. Summit ITews. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The 'cue furnished here last Saturday was well attended by both citizens and candidates. County Chairman Towill, of Batesburg, was present and called the crowd together at 11:15 o'clock. The first speaker introduced was Dr. Etheredge for the legislature. The Doctor oo Viia sob nnlv n. aVirmiah O01U BO VUlO nuu ? meeting be would cot enter into a discussion of any issue, but would pitch bis platform the opening of the campaign on July 20. During hi9 talk be laid special stress on the edccatiDg of all classes of white men; objected to negro education on the grounds that nine-tenths of our colored prisoners are, more or less, educated; favored the cleaning up of our politics and advancing our interests generally. He paid a good compliment to our people and his address was well received. Senator Sharpe was next introduced and talked for a short time with ease and interest. He said he was here today merely to pay bis respects to our people, and would fully and freely discuss all questions pertaining to the senatorial race cn the opening of the campaign. The Senator was loaded with a variety of unr! scdmsd deliohfced in tell J O ing them. Mr. E H. Sfcealy, who stands for the legislature, was next to take the people's attention. He heartily thanked our people for supporting him two years sgo, and would ap-' predate that same good support in the coming primary. He says he will make a clean fight and will hold ; on to the finish; has no special promises to make as one man cannot rule the legislature. At the conclusion of Mr. Sheaiy's speech the dinner recess was announced. At 2 p. m. the meeting was called to order by Dr. D. M. Crosson, Col. Towill having gone away on business. The following three of the five candidates for Solicitor were present and all made good speeches to attentive listeners: Geo. Bell Timmerman, of Lexington, Geo. R Rembert, of Richland, and S. McG. Simpkins, of Edgefield. The chief thing they spoke of here was as to which county the Solicitor should be chosen from. Some are of the opinion that some other county than Edgefield should furnish the man for this office, as they have been coming from there for the la6t thirty years, besides furnishing men for most of the high offices of the State, including United States Senator, Governor, Judges, etc. Others say the most competent man should be chosen regardless of what county in the Circuit he hails from. Several candidates came up on the 1:30 train, among them, Congressman Lever. After the Solicitors were through, he came forward, needing no introduction. He had no set speech for the day, as he was here to see our people and thank thera # M \ * 1 A 1 J lor tne:r gooa support ana to assure them of his willingness to serve ' them at any time. He touched lightly on the importance of thecomiDg general election and urged the people to go to the polls and bring every available vote into light. Mr. D. F. Efird, who stands for the Senate, and Messrs. J. B. Wingard and T. C. Sturkie for the House, bad only a short time in which to express their views, but assured the people that they would be here sgain on our Tegular campaign day and go in with gloves off and discuss the issues of the day. Among the candidates who were present, but did not speak, we noticed the following: Samuel B. George, for Clerk of Court; P. H. Corley, for Sheriff; Frank W. Shealy 1 for Treasurer; John W. Smith for 1 Commissioner; John W. Fry for Su- 1 perviBor; F. P. Shealy and E. H. ! Addy for Magistrate?3rd District. 1 None of the candidates were present who are announced for Auditor and Superintendent of Education. Cyrus L. Shealy.

Through carelessness I caught a severe ccld two year* ago which settled in catarrh and seriously interfered with the regular functions of the body, and made me nervous and irritable. I began taking Peruna arid found in it a faithful helper, as it en riched my blood and invigorated the whole system. I have no pains now and am always well." Female weakness is generally dependent upon catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The Lc-xiDgton County Summer school for teachers will open at Lexington on Monday morning, July 18th at 10:30 o'clock. The school will be iD charge of J. R. T. Major, principal of the Batesburg Graded school and Prof. W. D. SchoeDberg. The course of study will embrace the following subjects: Wentworth's School Algebra, Hughes' Mistakes in Teaching, Lee's United States History, William's Composition and Rhetoric, Frye's Advanced Geography and Tennyson's Enoch Arden as a basis for work in literature. The first three subjects will bo in charge of Prof. M*j >r while Prof. Scboenberg will have charge of the last three named above. In addition to the above work considerable attention will be paid to drawing and * A 4 _ T ^ tne discussion or current evenie. xu history special attention will be paid to the slavery question in our history and to the territorial expansion of our government. In algebra the Bubjects of factoring, fractions and Bolution equations will receive special attention. Be sure to remember that the text book in algebra will be Wentwortb's School Algebra. Let every teacher possible show bis or her interest in the educational progress of the county by being in attendance. You can help the instructors and can be helped by them and by your association with your Fellow teachers. The State Board of Education has decided that each sounty mu9t have an attendance of at least twenty teachers in order that the summer school may continue. If there are not twenty in attendance, the school will close at the end of the second week. So, fellow teachers, you see the importance of a full attendance. If the school should die this year for the lack of interest it will be hard to ever have it revived.
