The Lexington Dispatch, 1 LEXINGTON, S. C., G. M. Harmax, Editor and Publisher. Circulation, 1,7"^ 4-. Wednesday, July 6, 1904. ???? ??????? j These hot njin\ ri- vs we have not I i been able to attend *?:v of the 'cues I thus far. The sweltering, perspiring j weather has been almost equal to a J ! Turkish bath or a trip through the j corridors of sboel. Later we want j to join the chaee with the cffice j seeker aDd er joy their pleasant and j genial fellowship, and to share the kind hospitalities of our good people in the various sections of the county. The CouDty Executive Committee certainly meant that the candidates should "run for office" and gave them a real red fox race, and to have all the fun they could get out of it, having little mercy on horse flesh. But like the fellow who once asked us to go home with him to spend the night, after we agreed to go, be said well, I reckon if you can stand it I can." So ' - a -? ** nen/li^iifog we'll try to siaca it u wc can. The very men who are now condemning Mr Bryan for not standing to the rack fodder or no fodder, are the very men who have bolted the Democratic nomination time after time because Mr. Bryan was the Democratic nominee for President. If it is unpatriotic in Mr. Bryan to demand that his ideas being incorporated in the St. Louis platform, or "bast," then it was equally wrong for his opponents to leave the Democratic party in the two last Presidential elections because the two conventions refused to adept the gold standard. Its a poor rule that won't work both ways. # "There will never be another silver dollar coined in this country,said * * Director cf the Mint George T. Boberts, in Portland, Oregon, the other day. He added: "No more " -new silver dollars will be turned out by the Government unless by some chance, a 1G to 1 Congress should be elected. The suddIv of silver bullion that was purchased under the Sherman law is exhausted. Commissioner of Immigration "Watson has practically closed a deal for a 25 000 acre tract of land fn Aiken county for homes for a colony of immigrants and he will confer with parties in New York, who are to settle these people in South Carolina. Senator BeDjimin Ryan Tillman has expressed his preference for candidate Gray, of Delaware, as the Democratic nominee for President. He has heretofore been put down in the Parker colamn. The newspapers say that "Parker's friends are sanguine of victory." 1 Tbey seemingly forget that there is , many a alip between the cup and the lip. The Jftpa still continue to sink more RassiaD ships than Russia has ever bad in its navy and to kill more soldiers than are in its army.

To tbe Editor of the Diepatcb: Please drop my name from tbe list of announcements for County offices, as I am afraid that the condition of my health will be such as to prevent iny^nakiDg the campaign. Then again the business of my farm is such as to rfquire my full time and attention. In closing, allow me to tbaDk my constituents for their support in tbe past and for their promised support in the present race for Treasurer. Yours respectfully, H. A. Sparm. The Little Mountain Reunion. The reunion of students and former students of Newberry college will be held at Little Mountain, Friday, August 5rti. Addresses will be made by Dr. Geo. B. Cromer, Hon.

The above i9 a faithful reproduction of the handsome and pleasant features of our efficient and popular Clerk of Court, Samuel B. George, who is a candidate for re-electioD. During his encumbeDcy Sir. George has won the commendation of bench and bar, as well as those having business with his office, on account of noot o?<S {-iSr manner in mhioh lio I tUC UV/UU UUU J UIIUU^l Ui vv Ul 4J V keeps the books and papers of his office aod the system with which its work is performed. Soon to Hove. The time for Mr. Mimnaugb, of Columbia, to vacate his present quarters, under the terms of his lease to the Five and Ten Cents people, is rapidly approaching. There still remains a lot of goods yet unsold that must go, no matter what the sacrifice, as Mr. Mimnaugh intends to open up in bis new store with a fresh new stock of fall and winter goods. Nothing from his old store will be moved into bis new one. To accomplish this he is rushing cff his present stock at prices never before beard of and perhaps never will be again this side of judgment day. Many of our readers have taken advantage of this unprecedented sale and all expressed themselves as being delighted with their purchases, still there are others, who like doubting Thomases trill Tinf Koltoro nnf il t Ion tsvrx "*u JJbu UviAOTg u u in IUU UlU actually dumped down at their door and the prices named. To these we say that if you want the best and most fashionable goods in every line found in a well appointed department store, go to Mimnaugh's, Columbia, and look over hia stock, learn hia prices and if you do not make your purchases there then our name is Dennis.
