To the Editor of the Dispatch: Allow me space to return my heartfelt thanks to the good people of Lexington county for the kind and hospitable manner in which they treated me duriDg the recent campaign. Many a pleasant night I spent during my canvass with entire strangers to me and I to them. I can but say of them that I will al ways hold in my breasfc a warm spot for them. While the good people of the county saw fit to select another than myself, I shall ever feel grateful to them for the honors they have conferred upon me heretofore, and assure them that I still remain, after defeat, as before, a true and loyal son of old Lexington county, willing and ready to do her bidding in all that is honest and honorable. Respectfully, J*s. B. Addy. Lstter to P. H. Corley. Lexington, S. C. Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much; neck so much; all* the way between. Just so with paint. Devoe lead-andzinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants the neck: the between, some say, is^ood enough for them. But Devoe costs less, not' more, than between. Lead-and-oil is between; it is the old fashion paint. But zinc has come in. Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe lead-and-ziuc is the paint that wears twice as long as lead-and-oil. Mr. John N. Deitel, Fair Haven, 1ST. Y., writes: "Mr. Charles Hollenback, of ^iis place, painted his house thre-. years ago with Devoe lead-and-zinc; his father painted at the same time with lead-andoil. Today the son's house looks as well as the day it was painted, while the father's house has all chalked off and needs painting verv badly. The [ father says he will paint with Devoe i next time." Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. Rev. Z. W. Bedenbougb, President ! of the South Cirolina Sjnod, will I preach at Pisgah church, near Barr'e, ; next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: la my la?t article I thought the backbone of summer was broken, but I find it was only cracked, for the summer days still love to liDger long in the lap of autumn. Pretty well all the cotton is open aDd the farmers are very busy gathering aDd selling. They seem to be satisfied with the present prices. I thick they will realize higher prices later if they would hold it. Dan Sully, the Cotton King, is on his footing again and says it will sell for 13 cents per pound later. The pea crop will not be as good generally as last year. The continued dry weather has retained their maturity as well as checked the growth of sweet potatoes. M. H. Fallaw went out at tin- pee)) of day, And this is what I hear 'em say. I was gone one hour ana ten minutes, | dear sinner, I And bagged two squirrels and a possum for dinner. Be sure and go to the sale of Mr. J. W. Rseders on the 27;h. You will get bargains that will astound you. The 28.h session of the Lexington Baptist Association meets with the Steadman church Dext Friday. We hope the churches will be represent ed with a strong delegation and good rcr*nrfq Thp standina committee who are to report will take notice that a resolution was passed at the last session that the chairman of these committees must have their reports in the hands of the clerk one month before the meeting of the body. Up to this writing he has received none, and would say, by way of a gentle reminder, be there brother chairman *1 time with your report prepared. Let us rally around the Democratic flag and elect our standard bearer by all means. Surely we can win out with a man like Parker against Teddy.
