THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH. Wednesday, May 17,1905. At Some and Abroad. There is brighter day ahead for the town of Lexington. All the signs of the times point in that direction and nnless all signs fail our people may reasonably hope to see wonderful changes wrought in the appearance of our town both as regards its busi ness interests and social conditions in the next few years to ccme. And, why should it not be thus. Lexington is the county seat of a live, progressive county; it is eligibly located convenient as a market for buying and selling, for a large scope of country, and the merchants and all classes of business have felt the influx of the tide of trade which has turned toward Lexington and with increased business facilities-to meet and supply the demand. The time is ripe for our people to getiogether and with a strong pull, a long pnll and a pull altogether build np and extend the business influence of the town. In union there is strength, but in division there is weakness so that it behooves us as sound and sensible business men get to work in a systematic and business like manner to invite trade and attract custom. Don't let us sit down and wait for something to turn up, but rather let us make something turn up. Much has already been accomplished along this line of which we are proud, but there is much more to be done if we would retain and &4d to what has already been won. There are a thousand and one avenues open to us in which to exert our influence as citizens and UBe our saga city as business men in building ap the town. Lexington needs the services of each and every one of her citizens and it is our duty as such to respond promptly to her call, because even from a selfish standpoint, as she prospers so wiH we prosper and as Bhe retrogrades, so will we go backwards.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in ail its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J.

We are in receipt from the Bureau of the Census a copy of Bulletin 19, showing the quantity, of cotton ginned in the Uoited States.

Enthusiasm is the flash; earnest nessthe steady flow. It is that quality which shines through anc glorifies the simplest deeds>nd plain est words. Earnestness improves where al else is powerless. If you are in earn est, ideas will develop, plans anc methods will Buggest themselves anc results will follow. No one can work earnestly nnlesf he is a downright believer in the ob ject for which he is working, anc is wil.iing to back it against th< world. Budding and Grafting. There are very apt to be timei when it would be to the interest o every good farmer to know how t< bud and graft. The doing of these things is sim pie enough when once one has seei them done by a person who realb knows how. More help can be givei in such cases by one object lessoi than by many lessons furnishe( otherwise, and hence our advice ti those who would best and mos assuredly be informed regarding these affairs is to go to a nurser; 3 and eee the work done. The principal to be observed in 3 both budding and grafting is sub3 stantially the same. The idea is to so place the parts to be joined that J the one is closely fitted to the other 1 and so to be held by tying or otheri wise until the parts thus brought . together become united into one erowth. I The ordinary play of the air 3 should be excluded until a union be3 tween the parts sought to be joined ) has actually been formed. In budding, a bud is transferred , from one tree to another. This is k done when the bark on the tree from which the bud is transferred j and that to which it is tsken will seperate from the wood?peel, as it } is said. 1 A sharp knife?there are knives j { made for the purpose?-to do nice j j cutting is required to open the way to where the bud is to be inserted, and also in removing the bud from its place of origin. After the bud is inserted in its new place, the bark raised in giving it admission is 1 brought carefully and closely around ' It, taking care that the bud protrudes 1 above the tying. There are many different kinds of grafting ? whip grafting, veneer grafting, side grafting, inlaying, ' oleft grafting, bark grafting, her1 baceoue grafting, seed grafting, cutting grafting, inarching, double working. ' , Single Blessedness. 1 Woman's Life. At beet it is only in the exercise of a great unselfishness that the elderly spinster can continue to eDjoy the sunshine of happiness. So long as people are young there need not be much loneliness in the single state of either a man or a woman. The Bweets of liberty and the unconscious hope of happiness to come make up for much that is lost in the present. It is when life begins to grow gray, when old friends, through death, through marriage or through exi* -_a _i 1 *-11 gencies ox time ana piace iiav? luueu ' away and new friends are more diffi^ cuifc to make?it is then that both the spinster and th6 bachelor will feel the inexorable ache of loneliness. * And the outlook then Is worse for ^ the spinster than for the bachelor 1 because it is more inexorable. A ' man, if he has the means to support ' a wife and often if he has not, can ' always turn to matrimony as a pos' sible consolation when he chooses, and he knows that.

I Charleston, May 11.?The idea of a more general utilization of cotton I bags instead of jute is spreading, as I was evidenced this morning in the receipt by the Royal Bag and Yarn i factory of a large order from the * Oraoge Rice Mill company, of I Orange, Texas, for bags, the mill 3 having determined to use cotton instead of jute bags. The correspondence of President G. A. Wagener shows that there is a general 3 interest in the subject and as a ref suit of the agitation, there will be 3 a greater demand for the Southern stable. A number of very large - orders have recently been received i by the Charleston mill and there f seems to be a general appreciation of i the benefits and advantages of cotton l bagging over jute through this sec* 1 tion. As a result of the increased o demand for cotton bagging, the mill t is putting in additional machinery 5 and erecting more houses for its f operatives. DO YOU GET UP WITH A EAME BACK?

State convention of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows began its session here this morning at the court house when Grand Master | John J. McSwain, of Greenville, called the meeting to order. There are about 200 delegates in I attendance. The assembly this year is made up of practically three conventions, embracing the annual convention of the Odd Fellows, the Rebecca assembly, composed of the ladies of the order and the grand en campmenfc. The main feature of the session was the acceptance of the orphans home property and the adoption of the rules which are to govern the ^ institution. The club pi in was modified and for one year the entrance fee for all subordinate lodges in this State will be $8. Fifteen hundred new members were admitted in 1904 and nearly $9,000 was spent for relief. Fourteen new lodges were instituted and the number of Odd Fellows in South Carolina now ex- , ceed 5,000. The encampment branch of the order was strengthened by the formation of a state grand en AA m An f VBlUpUlCUU> Why Suffer from Rheumatism?
