The Lexington Dispatch, LEXINGTON, S. C., G. M. Harmax, Editor and Publisher. ' Circulation, l,8o(>. ( S-' __ Wednesday. September 28.1904-. j Evidently in ^reat activity among the Republicans in this Congressional District and cur information in that the same condition exists all over tbe State. There was a convention of the Republicans held in tbe school bouse in this place last Saturday and we understand that delegates were elected to the district convention which met in Sumter Monday. The object of this last convention was to nominate a candidate for Congress to oppose the Hon. A. Frank Lever in the general election. This activity in the - Republican rank is a sufficient warning for the Democrats to be on their guard. It means, if it means an} thing, a contest % for Mr. Lever for his seat in Congress. Tbe nomination of a Republican candidate is but laying the foundation f jr a contest, therefore, it behooves every Democrat in tbe district to place kimeelf in position to vote in the general election bv secaringa registration certificate. To do this there now remains only one more day, next Monday, until after the 8th of Novj ember. The Democrats can effect- ] ually thwart the plans of the Republicans to unseat Mr. Lever if possible by taming out and votiog at tbe ' general election. The larger the vote given him that day the less danger there will be of unseating bitn should the presence of a Republican in Congress be needed. Let tbe Democrats register next Monday and then go to tbe polls and ' vote for Mr. Lever on the 8 oh of ! November. uThe price cf liberty is eternal vigilance" and it is our ! boucden duty to be on the alert from ' now until afte? tbe election. i A nice question of law can be rais- ' ed in the Bennett case. It will doubtless be remembered that Ben- j nett was convicted of murder in ( Hampton county some years ago and | was given a life sentence in the peni- { tentiary. He was pardoued by Gov- j om/ir MrtSwppnv conditioned that he , W| WV? ^ ? ? would le<tve the State and never return. Bennett violated the condition of bis pardon and returned to his home in this State. One night while at his home be heard a noise which be mistook for burglars or the sheriffs posse.\ He fired and killed bis wife who had unknown to him gotten up in the night, and waB standing by the window. He then fled to Georgia and Governor Heyward has served extradition papers upon the Governor cf Georgia, which have been honored. Bennett will be or has been brought back to this State to again take up his residence in the penitentiary for the balance of his life. The question is: Has the Governor of South Carolina the lawJul authority to grant a conditional pardon, if so is it not unconstitutional to torn the criminals of one State loose upon another State? To a layman it appears that in giving a pardon it was comp'ete without conditions and that Bennett is as free today as if be had never committed a crime. Notwithstanding the fight the ' Columbia State has been making . against crime, it is an apparent fact that crime is on tbe increase in that eity. In tbe recent past there has a \fan/lo A lion istii/th I KH79U IUZD IUGIUUU aiKll UJJ cvvi J ?? wivu ? has not as yet been unravelled, not- ( withstanding a Pickerton detective t has been employed to solve tbe problem. Then came tbe brutal murder i of young Clarence Sbealy by tbe a band of an unknown assassin. Then t following close on tbe beels of these c two, comes tbe killing of young Percy Crews, who was shot in tbe } back of tbe bead by Charlie McDonald, in that city Saturday morning. Tbe cause wbicb led up to tbe tragedy is said to have been a trival matter. How long, ob God, is this earth to be stained with tbe blood of ] man unlawfully shed by tbe baud of 1 X_ll 9 f WUUwaj?'_L ; . ( ftsv. Mr. K*lly has mysteriously 1 disappeared from his home iu North Augusts, where he was located as pastor of the Methodist church there and his family aod friends are greatly alarmed concerning hissafetv This makes the second time Mr. Kelly has r acted in this matter, he having left bis home while located at Sumter several years ago under similar circumstances and it was sometime be- j fore bis whereabouts was discovered. 1 His friends hold to the theory that 1 bis mind is untoDnced. ! < Judge Parker has published his 1 letter of acceptance as the Democratic Dominee for the President of the "doited States, in which he says that honesty, economy and peace are , the cardinal principles of this government and he declares that it is time to call a bait on the encroachment of the President upon the rights of the governed. if A lynching Bee is reported from | Waterloo, Laurens county, this State, j The part.cuiars have not as vet been I made public, except that the victim j was charged with criminal assault. j I Everybody Surprised. The Conway Field. September 21. One of the pleasant surprises j spuing f*il was which came wo j the.com in unitv uoawa^ was the warring* of Mis* Pauline Ogilvie to Dr. W. E McCord, just before train time yesterday. The matter had been 3rraDged for some time and the family were in the secret but it appears that, nobody else was. Mr. J. W. O^ilvie, the bride's father, who is now assistant editor of the Lexington Dispatch, j cams on to be present at the ceremony, but the object of bis visit was unknown to outsiders. After the ceremony the youDg couple left for a visit to the home of the groom, at Hodges, in Greenwood county. Dr. McCord is a general fivorite here in his adopted home and is rising into substantial recognition as a business man. He is highly esteemed in this community by all classes. Miss Pauline Ogilvie has lived id this community from her childhood and was dear to ail who koew her. She is a young woman of sterling qualities and will have in her wedded life the best wishes and congratulations of a circle of friends that is as wide as her acquaintance. She is a grand-daughter of Mrs Jeremiah Smith and has long been the soul of the house. The consoling reflection, at least for the present is, that she will continue to live with her grandmother. All the same the friends of the newly married pair do not think they were treated altogether fairly, as it was a general desire to show more substantial appreciation than was oossihle under the circumstances, But anyway loDg li/e to them both and roses all along the journey to the listant end. Chapin 2Tews. Io the Editor of the Dispatch: It seems that our town is not in touch with the outside world since 3ur paper, The Carolina News, has beeD discontinued. It would be a 2[Ood investment for some newspaper nan to come to Chapin and run that paper as it ought to be run and I jnow that a good profit could be resized. The election is over and everybody 2as gone back to work. The merchants of Chapin are doing i good business. R. W. Frick & Son are kept busy ginning cotton. Mr. C P. Robinson is doing a big umber business. The people have gotten the factory 'ever again and it seems that one vill be built this time. Let it go up is we are always proud to see our ittle town marching to the front. Prof. H. H. Haiti wanger has been sleeted to teach Pine Ridge school.

I*. headquarters, at Claleshurg. ill., was; for ton years one of the leading women there. Ilcr husband, when living. was | first President, of the Nebraska Wes- j Icyan University, at Lincoln, Xob. In a letter written from 101 Sixtyseventh street, \Y., Chicago, 111.-, Mrs. ! Flehartv says the following in regard j to Peruna: "Having lived a very active life as wife and working partner of a busy minister, my health failed me a few years ago. I lost my husband about the same time, and gradually I seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed invalid, and we both, felt great need of an invigorator. "One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna. A bottle was immediately secured and a great change took place in my daughter's as well as in my own health. Our appetites improved very gi eatly, the digestion seemed much helped, and restful sleep soon improved us, so that we seemed like new women. "I would not be without Peruna for ten ' 'mes its cost. ""Mrs. Anna B. rleharty. What used io be called female diseases by the medical profession is now called j pelvic catarrh. It has been found by i experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female diseases. Dr. Hartman was among the first of; America's great physicians to make this j discovery. For forty years he has been " treating diseases peculiar to women, and j long ago he readied the conclusion that' a woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be i subject to female disease. lie therefore ! began using Peruna for these cases and ' found it so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now become the most famous remedy for female diseases ever known. Everywhere the women are using it and prai? j ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim-j piy; it cures by removing the cause of; female disease. Dr. Hartman has probably cured, more j women of female ailments than any!' other living physician. lie makes !h*?s?j CAPITAL, FOUR PER CENT. per annum, payable quartt ny on Savings Def ^COUNTY AND TOWN DEPDS!
