( ?0 * The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 3, 1904. News from Selma. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The rains have come and crops are i very much improved. \ Those who attended Children's Day at Shady Grove last Saturday say they had a delightful time. Prof. Haynes, of Leesville Colhg1, gave a pleasant talk to all. Some of the folks erjoved a nsD fry at the river last Thursday; caught plenty of fish, and had a pleasant day all round. Miss Martha Daly, from near Lexington, spent the past week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Daly, and visited many friends and rela- j fives while there. Miss Rosabelle Meetze is spending | a while with her sister, Mrs. J. H ! Derrick. I Miss Blanche Kjzer spent a few days last week at Mr. H. J Fulmer's. Miss Mary Eili9or and Mr. Arthur Davis attended Children's Day at Shady Grove and from there visited Miss Estelle Fulmer. Mr. J. W. Fulmer will spend part of bis vacation at the home of his fatherland will visit in North Carolina and Aiken before returning to his work in Columbia. We are glad to kDow that Mrs Ira Tuikett is improving and hope she will soon be able to come home. The psar crop at Selma is a failure this year. H. Wards Saluda Eztension. Columbia Slate.

There has been in that section of the State a movement to build an independent line from Saluda by way of Johnston, a distance of about 40 miles, but nothing has been heard from this recently, and it is supposed that the promoters are waiting to hear more definitely from tb3 Southern. Barbecue at Rishton. There was a nice, quiet and orderly crowd of people who attended the 'cue at Riehton on last Tuesday. The dinner was enjoyed. Mr. Boyd F. Berry was requested to act as _t ? ? j :_4. j A inkier 01 ceremonies uuuiuuuuuueu as the first speaker Rev. Joab Edward?, a candidate for the senate. He give a brief idea of what be would do if elected. Dr. E. J. Etberedge, for th6 House, was the next speaker. He livened up the crowd and was gladly received. Mr. E A. Smith for Supervisor, made a brief talk. The last two speeches were made- by Messrs. I. Haflman and W. Noah Lucas, candidates for County Commissioner. They both made interesting talks, after which the master cleared the floor and invited the young folks to take charge and er.joy themselves, no objection was made and dancing, then being in order. Dr. Blue Mountain Joe, the 'cuist, with a pretty young girl, then announced "Forward on the Head." Ask for Allen's Foot-Ease,' A Powder to shake into your shoes. It rests the feet.

Olmsted, LeRoy, N. Y. 42 Killed Himself. Frpd Brown, a life term negro convict, sent up for murder, cut bis throat after making a murderous assault Thursday afternoon upon Will Lewip, also a life term negro convict in the penitentiary. Brown was head cook of the guards' and officers' mess and Lewis I is a waiter. Fred Brown had been in the peni. tentiary for 13 years. He was con- i victed of murdering Lem Jackson, colored, at Belleville, Lexington county, in June, 1800, and was sentenced by Judge I. D. Witherspocn (l mwmriTT?mnir?jaMj?ii ? 111 vwn i ! ii hi I to be banged March 20, 1901, in the j Lexington jail. During this interval ; Brown escaped jail but wasrecaptur- j ed and on the night before he was to j i expiate bis crime Gov. B. R. Tillman ' commuted the sentence to life im- i prieoLment in the State penitentiary, j During Gov. McSweeney's admin- j [ istratiou several petitions for the man's pardon were submitted to that official but he refused executive clemency and since then the officials say j Brown had become morose and dejected, frequently saving there was no hope for him and he would have to spend bis entire life in prisoD, which he would say was worse than death. - - - ? ? The "G-old" Democrats. ? i ? * i i n i j tpv xne zeai wun wnicu uroia loemucrats are supporting the national ticket this year makes a great change in local situations almost everywhere east of the Mississippi river. Some have been voting for county and congressional candidates for the last four years, but not as numerously as is expected now. It is believed that these Democratic accessions will be an important factor in the congressional campaign. In such states as Ohio and Massachusetts, where Democrats have no hope whatever of electoral votes, the local fights are showing vastly more spirit. TheD, even where there is no hope of winning, the necessity of making the best possible fight and of reducing majorities so as to put the party in position for future contests is recognized. I Tillman for Cabinet. i It is reported, and not without the j appearance of justification for the j rumor, that in the event of the sue- ! cess of the Democracy this year Senator Tillman will be made secretary of the navy if he would accept the portfolio. Senator Tillman has been one of the most active and useful members of the committee on naval affairs for some years in the Senate and he stands in with the Parker people. His great work at the convention in the interest of harmony and his outspoken honesty have sent his stock way up. *. 4 ?

Oat of the hundreds of exchanges which come to my cffice I s. always look for the Dispatch for it is always faithful and brings rae news of the many friends I once knew in old Lexington, whom I seldom see any more but who are not forgotten." Sick Headache. "For several years my wife was troubled with what physicians called sick headache of a very severe character. She doctered with several eminent physicians and at a great expense, only to grow worse until she was unable to do any kind of work. About a year ago she began taking Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and today weighs moi% than she ever did before and is real well," says Mr. George E. Wright, of New London, N. Y.

' Once there was a terrible upheaval of nature in the shape of an earthquake, and Dr. Cook woke up, finding bis bed jjstling and turning. He believed the end of the woi d near and made a bee line for the door. His good wife, in great agitation, called 'Valentine, wait for mt! Wait for tut! "'No, my dear,'he answered, 'when the Lord comes I'll wait for nobody. Good bye,' and out of the door he shot." Governments in United Stat ok. There are at present just nine different forms of government practised in the United States, towit: 1. Constitutional, State and territorial. 2. Special conditinos for Alaska. 3. Special conditions for Indian territory. 4. A commission for the Philip pines. 5. An experiment in Puerto Rico. 0. Naval officers in charge of Guam. 7. Temporary government in Titluia, Samoa and other Pacific islands. S. The territory of Hawaii. 9. The Panama canal zone. A Swindle. The RUeigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: "It is said that some farmers in \ the southern part of this county have banded themselves together to work a scheme upon the fertilizer dealers. They buy standard fertilizers and presently take Bamples to the Agricultural Department. These are at their request, analyzed and run perhaps a little under the standard. Then whon the fertilizer men appear with their bills these farmers say that they will not pay, as the goods were below standard. Last year thev worked their scheme and beat 90 the fertilizer people out of a lot of goods. This year some of the fertilizer dealers who had "caught on" declined to sell them any goods. Next year all the dealers will get together io a refusal. The man who tells me about this scheme of swindling says that of course a man who will woik it is mean enough to "doctor'1 the fertilizer he has taken to be sampled. It is said that one company lost $400 last year by the swindle." Law Abiding Citizen. Philadelphia Ledger. Representative Hull, of Iowa, sent home garden seed to a constituent last spring. They came from the department of agriculture, and were inclosed in one of the regular franked Government envelopes. On the corner of each of these appears this legend, "Penalty for private use $300." A few days later Hull received a letter from his constituent, which read: ''Dear Mr. Hull: I don't know what to do about those garden seeds you sent. I notice it is $300 fine for private UBe. I don't want to use them for the public. I want to plant them in my private garden. I can't afford to pay $300 for theT privilege. Won't you see if you can't fix it so I can use them privately, for I am a law abiding citizen and do not want to commit any crime ?'' Needs a B. B. Commissioner. Summit needs W. Boyd Evans as Railroad Commissioner to see that that town is not discriminated against by the railroads. There is no telegraph office; no phones: no stops by the trains; no anything else, except conditions that will make it a splendid business point if the railroads would not pursue its policy of murder toward it. We know not the cause of the enmity of the railroad people against this place. A man who has run for office is never very much afraid of what is going to happen to him when he dies. ATTENTION!
