As per the resolution passed by
you at the meeting held at Lexington
C. H., on April 3rd, I have appointed
assessors in each township
and have mailed to them blank forms
to be Q8ed in securing pledges. It
is very essential that the canvassers
j complete the work as soon as possible
and report to me the result.
All pledge lists should be returned
to me not later than the 25th inst,
so that I may report to the State
Chairman the result of our work in 1
Lexington county. Unless I can
make my report by the 25fch it will
not appear in the State Chairman's 1
report. 1
I trust that all of the farmers will i
aid the canvassers in this work, so 1
that we can make a encouraging re- 1
port for Lexington county. '
Each canvasaor will canvass his <
township and secure all pledges '
possible. Each person signing the J
pledge will pay a sum of twenty-five 1
cents. The canvasser is entitled to i
half of the fee for his service and the *
rest should accompany the pledge >
list when it is returned to me. 1
If any whom I have appointed to *
canvass the township in which he 1
lives, finds that it is impossible for (
him to do so, please secure the services
of some good man who will do *
so and have him report to me as c
soon as he makes the canvass. I k
had to appoint many without con- E
suiting them, but I hope they will *
serve. Dr. E. J. Etheredge, *

Mr. M. L Rister, one of our progressive

This will inform the citizens of
Lexington and the public generally
that as the professional representative
of the Mayor and Members of
City Council and Member of the
Board of Health recently named by
the same, have along with their
members and their emallpox expert
from Columbia, Dr. D. S. Pope, made
as thorough investigation of the situation
existing in town as possible,
which has been pronounced by Dr.
Pope, as unquestionably smallpox.
There are twelve developed caBes
today confined in two tenement
houses, cn Cot ley street, east of the
Lutheran cemetery (among colored
people.) This district is in strict
quarantine by a health officer constantly
on duty under instruction, so
as to allow no outside communication,
and vaccination in the meantime of
all who have been exposed, as far as
possible, or liable to be exposed under
any circumstances hereafter and
enforced vaccination, if necessary, to
protect the citizens of the town and
public generally.
1 as a member or tne medical profession
and being acquainted with
some of the risks and dangers, urge
that all, who have Dot been recently
vaccinated or otherwise immune by
having had smallpox itself, be immediately
vaccinated and if Decessary
revaccinated, in order to save themselves
from this dreaded scourage, or
endangering the general public by
remaining loDger unvacciDated.

No News of Fleet.
London, April 11.?The only news
today regarding the movement of
the hostile fleets in the Far East is
the reported sighting of Japanese
cruisers on Sunday heading toward
Singapore, and watching the route
toward SaigoD, Cochin China. Experts
agree that Admiral Togo will
at present content himself by usiDg
his swift vessels for cutting out odd
stragglers, especially Russian colliers.
A private telegram from Singapore
says four large steamers, apparently
colliers, passed there this morning
going eastward. It is believed they
are the advance guard of sixteen
German vessels which were chartered
by Russia as supply ships to the
Baltic squadron. It is believed
Rojestvecsky will await the arrival
of the colliers before trying to cross
the China sea.

Most of the farmers are through
