Bister, a true and loyal citizen of the grandest county that God's ! sun ever shone upon, reads the Dispatch and chuckles. The reason is plain. W. H. Keisler, a rising and prominent young man of the Barr section, was in town Thursday and handed in the name of S. D. Keisler as a new subscriber. Thanks, Brother, may your shadow never grow le38 and may you prosper in the land the Lord thy God givetbQthee.

Robertson, the banker, is president of the monopoly. It now appears that peace negotiations between Japan and Russia have fallen through, for the present, at least, and that President Roosevelt's "good office", like Rojenventsky's fleet, has gone to the bottom of Japan sea. The Japs are eager to whip the Russians once more and the Ru36ians are just as eager to be whipped by;the Jape just once before hostilities will cease. While we have been needing rein during the past two or three weeks so badly here, the people out in Wisconsin and Michigan have been suffering from destructive rain and hail storms and in some portions of theee States there has been some loss of A /s AnVlfM J/twnUl A /3 ? ? ? iiio iauu uuueiuoiauio UUUiUge MJ property by the warring elements. The people are tired of the electric road being huDg up in the Southern's offices and every time a raise in freight rates is proposed the old dry bones will rattle. The people intend that the trolly line must be built and they generally have what they want. No Secret About It. It is no secret that for cuts, burns, ulcers, fever sores, sore eyes, boils, etc., nothing is so effective as Bucklen's Arnica Salve. "It didn't take long to cure a bad sore I had, and it is all O. K. for sore eyes," writes D. L. Gregory, of Hope, Texas. 25c. at The Kaufmann Drug Co's., drug store. Smallpox XTear Baxter Claims For its Victim Young Mr. Snelgrove, of Saluda County, i To the Editor of the Dispatch: I have often in life heard the name smallpox that carried with its name death and physicial torture. I have sympathized with those that have had to contend with this dreaded disease, but since I have had them at home and gone through physical and mental agonies that tongue cannot describe, I will, in the future, know better how to sympathize with those that need sympathy, and weep with those that weep. On Thursday, May 11th, a young man, Keedy Snelgrove, who had been an occasional visitor to my j home for the past two or three years, came id from Uolumbia complainmg of being Bick. Next morniDg (Fridaj) be wa9 desperately ill, and grew worse until' Sunday, when bis case developed into one of smallpox. I did all for bim that was possible for me to do until Thursday wben Mr. William Padgett, wbom I shall never forget for this act of kindness, came to my relief and carried Mr. Snelgrcve to bis borne (be, himself, having bad smallpox) where all that could be done in the way of careful nursing was done for bim, but to no avail He lingered until the Monday following wben be breathed bis last and his spirit returned to the God who gave it. His body was carried by the Bame kind and loving bands to its last resting place and ueposited in the bosom of the same earth that gave it to peacefully await the call to come forth agaiD, to live on, and never die. I would like to return my compliments to a few that came to my relief when in my deepest distress; especially, the town of Batesburg and the State Board of Health. No sooner had the news reached Bateeburg of the case of smallpox at my place than I received a letter from the authorities of that town, containing no words of sympathy and closing with threats of legal action against me if I failed to strictly quarantine myself and family from their town. Now, please don't misunderstand me, for I am truly glad my heart is such that I can truthfully say "With charity towards all and malice towards no one." But when a child is hurt it is sure to cry, and the actions of the town, that has been my nearby home for twentyfive years, within whose borders I have always tried to conduct myself so as to command respect as a gentleman on a plane of citizenship with dus regard to the feelings of others to quarantine myself and family against the health of my friends, and neighbors, the towD of Batesburg, or any other human being from the terrible scourge of this loathful disease if there was the least danger of communicating it to others. I was also informed that this town forbid its worthless negroes who i - i j 11 i. i- - ? uttvc uttu Buuuupus. 10 come 10 my borne and help me while in distress, when I offered to pay them liberally for their services, and, also, give them new change of garments when they desired to return; their doctors, furthermore, who had been treating the so called cases of smallpox in their town with such skill as to cure their patients in a few days, refused to listen to the dying cries of a man living and dying alone, refused to come when sent for, even at an extortionate fee. I am not personally complaining of such treatment for I feel that bb far as I am concerned the crisis is past, and I will, by the help of God, be spared of this disease and from this exposure. But for the sake of suffering humanity, that the sick might be administered unto, that the distressed might be relieved, that the groans of the dying might he heard.- that snmo hand rnioht, hp t_? _ ( present to turn over the pillcw for the last time under the dying head, we hope for these things in part that a better example by the officials of any town, or by any individuals wherever they may reside shall be followed in the future so the golden rule might be observed by all men "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I mention town officials that they should encourage and not forbid, for their power and influence is known and read of by all men. Their example should be such DO YOU GET UP WITH A TAME BACK? Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable. Almost everybody who reads the newspapers is sure to know of the wonderful Sj ^ cures made by Dr. '?-?1 t Kilmer's Swampg | Root, the great kidD |Lr,3^r J ne}*> l^ver aU(^ blad"i uTF\Vr 1 e der remedy. > fJv V pi It is the greatmediV] I (|[! ical triumph of the \?=\_/ ] |, nineteenth century ; rif l ' vs-T" ^li'i discovered after years In lis" /-of scientific research f bv Dr. Kilmer, the "" eminent kidney and hWl/lpr ci^oinlist. and is wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, uric acid, catarrh of the bladder and Bright's Disease, which is the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work and in private practice, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root, and how to findout if you have kidney or bladder trouble. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper and send your address to Dr. Kilmer dollar size bottles are of swamp-Eoct. sold by all good druggists. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. as to strive to relieve iboce who suffer most and forbid help to do dying soul. As to the State Board of Health I would only Lke to ask a few question. The first is: What is it foil and what does it do?j I appealed to it for aid for Mr. Snelgrove. Of course I got none! I first appealed to the Attorney General. He referred me to Dr. James Evans, Secretary of the State Board of Health Dr. EvaDs' reply was that they did not treat special cases, but their time was taken up in enforcing compulsory vaccination. I would like to know where vaccination is enforced? I would also like to know what became of the $20,000 given it by the Legislature? I presume that is used for their salaries. Bight here I would like to ask some of our members of the Legislature how they can conscientiously make laws to apply to a place that nceJs them the least. For instance, a n*orporated town that is able to take care of itself is the places thai receives aid, while the rural districts that have no organized laws and depend only on the State and county governments for protection get none. Compulsory vaccination can be enforced in towns that is given the power over its citizens to enforce it, but how can it be enforced in rural districts? Towns with well filled treasuries that are able to take care of and protect its own gets the benefit of all appropriation, while persons residing in country districts, who are tax payers and citizens and contribute as much to uphold the flag of their country as any people on earth, are left to fight their owd battles alone. Cannot there be son 6 way fixed to help those who need help most and some of the money given annually by the State to be used to protect the part of the population that needs protection and aid while being unable to protect themselves? While we are charged of being indolent and ignorant by the educated classes, the truth should come home to those who make these charges and the blame should be placed upon those that deserve it most. Let us hope for a resolution to soon come and bring with it equality from all classes as far as protection of government is concerned, that all persons upholding the government, under which we live and following the same flag that has floated so often from victory to victory and that everyone might rest under the shade of better government and repeat the part of the constitution of this great republic that was written by the great statesmen of the past where it declares "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none."
