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.

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.

Miss Celia Harrington, 303 Second avenue,
Detroit, Mich., writes:
"Weakness has filled many months of
my life with suffering. 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.
