The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, July 27, 1904. Attention Sons of Veterans ! Headquarters Second Brigade, Soutv Carolina DivisoD, United Sou3 of Confederate Veterans. Lexington, S C. July 19, 1904. j - [General Onier No. 1 ] To the United Souo of Confederate Veterans: rr\x> alooh'on f!nm. joy Yinuo ui uij vikuvtv** maDder of the Second Brigade, South Carolina Division, Doited Sons of Confederate Veterans at the State re- i union of 1904, held in Charleston, SC, 1 hereby assume command of this Brigade. Brigade headquarters are hereby established at Lexington, S C. The following staff appointments are hereby made, and will be obeyed and respected: Brigade Adjutant and Chief of Staff, Alfred J. Fox, Lexington, S. C.; Brigade Inspector, Julian B. Salley, Aikeo, S. C.; Brigade Quartermaster, Isaac Hough, Camden, S. C ; Brigade Commissary, W. S. Cogburn, Edgefield, S. C.; Brig ade Judge Advocate, A. C. DePaas, Columbia, S. C.; Brigade Surgeon, Dr. J. W. Pitts, Saluda, S. C j Brigade Chaplain, Bev. Melton Clark, Florence, S. C; Aide, F. D. Knight, Sumter, S. C.; Aide, F. F. Herndon, Bishopviile, S. C.; Aide, W. A. Shealy, Leesville, S. C. In assuming the responsible position of Commander of this Brigade, i I do it with a full appreciation of the j duties and responsibilities incident i thereto, and it shall be my purpose to measure up to all that shall be required of me. As sons of as brave soldiers as ever figured in any war, we should lend our influence and attention to perfecting the organization of which we are members. In doing that we give them the assurance which is their right we, their sons, are not unmindful of the blest heritage they have left us. We show to them that we are determined that the record of their gallant fight for principle shall be correctly made, and that we will not tolerate in our homes and schools books that do not give the Confederate soldier his due. This and more is the work of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. I, therefore, appeal to every son of a Confederate veteran to identify himself with the Sons organization. South Carolina has not taken the prominent part in the Sons organization that some other States have, but it cannot be said ^that her soldiers did not take as brave a stand for the principles of the Confederacy as any State that furnished soldiers in that cause. Then let it not be said any longer tfcat we are lagging m mis noble woik. Let cur father's record be cur incentive to renewed effort. George Bell TimmermaD, Com. 2od Brigade S. C D.v. U. S. C V.

Pete," Hepburn, cf Iowa, ib fond of filing bow during his early days in Congress he once had occasion to consult Mr. Used, then speaker, with a view to obtaining Reed's advice as to a eulogy on a deceased colleague which Col.

Andrew Harvard, infant eon of H. Albert and Ida Meetze, was born June 11, 1903 and died July 17,1904. Age 1 year, 1 month and G days. Dear parents, weep not for your precious little one for in heaveD, i ae heme of the sanctified, he sing3 the i glad song of redemption in the glor- ! ious presence of Jesus his Saviour, i Mr. and Mrs. Meelze have the profound sympathy of their commun- | itv ia thf ir sad bereavement. "But what is of supreme comfort is i that the heavenly Father sustains by i His grace the &l!l;cted father and ; mother and the three dear little sisters that survive the departed babe. The sweet assurance ia also theirs that they have a treasure in heaven? a treasure infinitely better than any earthly good?for the bouI ransomed ?Hi??^? by the blood of the Lamb, and shel- 1 tered in the bright mansions of the heavenly Father's house ie immortal and forever safe and forever blest In that beautiful place He is gone to prepare for all who are washed and forgiven.

Dear "Josh:" Fearing that my old friends in Lexington may think I have taken a back seat and given up "keeping up with the band," I herewith hand you evidence of tbe fact that I still have my being and hope to join the dwellers in the millenum. As politics, posBums and persimmons are nearly ripe, and having formed the habit of ^mixing up" with politics in old Lexington "I just can'c shake it off." , I suppose you have read the platforms of the Democratic and Repub- ( lican parties as formulated in this , year of Republican prosperity, 1904. arm vr?n like fchfi Writer. TGffard I ""f" J ^ ~ 7 r a I these declarations of principles and pledges as empty declarations to be wholly ignored if subsequent circumstances for campaign purpose will . warrant it. The rose colored lights of the , I Republican platform presents to our j enraptured vision a rose godness in- j carnate adapted to the views of our President, "a blooming warm earth | angel fair as Aurora in her rose col- | ored chariot at the breath of dawn." I Bnt our President is a mortal man with every fragment and fibre of his soul, body and possession, every cellular, vascular and muscular tissue somewhat resembling cur own, alike 1 us in many ways, yet unlike us in many othere, maybe to our discredit, 1 and yet, witball as Thomas Garlyle 1 will have us among the "feeblest of ^ bipeds" who stand upon a bases at ( most for the flattest soled, some half 1 a square foot, insecurely enough, he has to straddle out his legs lest the ( vary winds supplant him. "The ' steer of the meadow tosses him aioft 1 like a waste rag." Nevertheless he is the greatest of all created things. Aninscruitable mystery of mysteries, ( yet mindful of the "Mutual admi- ' ' ? < - - J { ration iraterniiy as ouinnea in the Republican platform, we must regard bim?rightly perhaps?as 1 measuring up to the standard of the great men that are and have been. The platform of the Rapubiican party affirms that the party's administration of national affairs is wholly and solely creative of the agricultural, industrial and financial prosperity of the last eight years and boastingly asserts that "We have every right to congratulate oureelves t on cur wonderful achievements." Ic has done everything that could be < done, and left undone nothing. 1 As per the platform, I give a par- 1 tial inventory: Arresting the extension of human slavery; the Dingly < tariff; the gold standard which eB- 1 tabliehed and raised the public credit I which had "fallen so low;" the vanquishing of Spain; liberating the J Cubans, establishing an effective { government at Port Rice; suppress- 1 f ka in onrro/ttinn in tho Phllin. I I 6 1UDUi 1 IU VUU X pines; relief of the legations afcPekin 1 duriDg the Boxer insurrection; pee- * session of the route for the Isthmian I canal; regulating (?) the trusts; constructing a world conquering (?) navy; upholding (?) the civil service laws, etc ; all good measures (?) with out any special benefit to our home institutions and individual enterprises. The Republicans assert in their platform that "under the Dingly tariff, labor has been fully employed, i wages has risen and all industries I ? ! have revived and prospered." If so, ! how is it that the Pennsylvania railroad has reduced tbs employees to the number of 30,000, and the Baldwia works, 0,000? Is there any howling prosperity in thai? But why make further citation? No strikes, no lockouts, none are untwimployed, all is elyaium under a Republican administration, and univer Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it.

What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often duriner the day, and to eet ud many times during the night. The~mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this papersal brotherhood of contentment and plenty. Should the "grand old party"' continue its administration four years more if we are doomed to such en affliction, we expect and demand the creation of a new world to which we hop9 they wilt migrate. They are too great and good to remain longer among their ''passive, now active, incompetent" Democratic brothers. What of the Democratic platform? To one, at least, it is a sincere declaration cf principles. No self adulation, no traffic in political tafiey. It is simplicity itself, genuinely so. "Old Spec."
