'Wednesday, August 9, .305. i 1 Our Virginia Letter. i To tbe Editor of tbe Dispatch: < Monday morning is h<re and it is ' my time to write home tbrongb tbe i Dispatch. I feel sometimes it may > be an imposition on tbe editor, and J that few people may read these letters. Bat I do enjoy the weekly 1 visitp of the home paper. I find that I can mail a letter here Monday at 10:8 a. m. and have it appear that week, and that I get the Dispatch on Thursday at 1:6 p. m. So it seems that I am only a few hoars farther from Lexington than when I lived in the county. Since my last letter I have been unwell from a bad cold. It lasted only a few days. There has been so much rain up here. They Bay it is Ll L 1L t 1 Z _ L - tue worst &uey nave ubu at oue sea* son for something like fifteen years. ' They have had a time getting in l oats and hay. The former is about [ all in now. Quite a lot was cut laBt week in the rain. The hay is not all cut yet, though it is ready to be harvested. Only some of the buokI wheat has been cut. Considerable of this is grown here. I did not 1 know what it was when I saw it. I cultivated several stalks in the garden in the spring, thinking it was young okra. People here do not know of okra. I am trying to raise some, but it is late by supposing I had some when it proved to be buckwheat. We have just had two very pleasant meetings. Last Wednesday evening about dark, the men, women and children began pouring in the parsone.ge. We soon had a house, l porch and yard full. When we came to our senses we realized that it was a pounding. Every child brought a package. When the dast and smoke i cleared away, we found about everything needed in the kitchen from a package of matches to a sack of sugar. The other was a splendid missionary service last night. It was in charge of the women. We have a splendid elocution teacher in the congregation, and the ladies rendered the parts well to a crowded house. The offering was $19.38 Our Synodical year now closes. The society has contributed over $125 for missions. For general beneficense the congregation pays out an amount nearly equal to the pastor's salary. We are now having lots of apples, but no peaches. Tomatoes are jost now beginning to get ripe. S C.

A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen gallons of ready-for-use paint, at < $1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on eight gallons of L. & M. paint and six gallons of linseed oil, which make four- < teen gallons of the best paint in the 1 world, at $1.20 per gallon; the property , owner loses just $4.20. Is it right? It only re.quires 4 gallons of L. & M. , and 3 gallons of linseed oil to paint a moderate sized house. Ten thousand churches painted with Longman & Martinez L. & M. Paint.

Thurmond in a Bpeeeh last week in Edgefield county predicted that if the dispensary was voted out we would have the old barroom in two years. Sometime ago , we made a similar prediction, and we ' IW Sill Our Buyer is always in se; suit the wants i >ds trade, and ample cash enables us to g i everything kept in a First Class Store itreet M, fl, ire not surprised that others agree with us. Mr. Thurmond also made die statement that the legislature 3ould authorize bar rooms under the law as it stands. If this be true, bar rooms may be said to be in sight whenever the dispensary is killed, rhis what the war on the dispensary means, and what it will result in if successful. Some folks say they prefer the bar rooms to the dispensary. We do not. While we do not think that the dispensary is calculated to make those who patronize it sober men, we believe that it makes fewer whiskey drinkers than either the old bar room or unlicensed grog shops under so called prohibition.

Batesburg, Aug. 2.?After one ol the warmest and most exciting campaigns in the history of the town, Mayor M. B. Edwards was reelected, defeating Mr. E R.

Hartley and J. M. Hite. Messrs; Whitten &nd Harman were the only members of tbe present board oi aldermen that were reelected. There were quite a number of candidatee for the positions of aldermen. The tabulated vote was as follows: Foi Major, M. B. Edwards, 109; E. B. Steadman, 81; for Alderman, J. A. Whitten, 145, W. D. M. Harman, 153, W. C. Farber, 115, J. B. Youngblood, 112, J. M.

In the evening about 100 gentlemen, including several of the aldermen elect, visited the residence of Mr. Edwards, where all had a good time; a collation was served and some public speaking was indulged io.

Kernaghan was reelected without opposition, as a member of the poblic works commission. Public is Aroused. The public is aroused to a knowledge of the curative merits of that great medicinal tonic, Electric Bitters, for sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary H. Walters, of 546 St. Clair Ave., Columbus, O., writes: "For several months I was given up to die. I had fever and auge, my nerves were wrecked; I could not sleep, and my stomach was so weak from useless doctors' drugs that I could not eat. Soon after beginning to take Electric Bitters, I obtained relief, and in a short time I was entirely cured." Guaranteed at The Kaufmann Drug Co's. drug store; price 50c. Birthday Party.

Where is the hConey Going? I want to be fair. Does the dispensary pay financially? Say nothing about the heart-broken women, the temptation to our men and boys. In the firat phce, we must pay $110 for the privilege to drink it. That money leaves the State. Th?re is no doubt about it, thousands cf laborers leave the country that the farmers ought to have. They are no good to the cities, only there to drink whisky. Look at your tax receipt ten years ago, look at it now; look at the returns of property around the cities and mills, returned twenty times higher than they were ten years ago Income tax, dog tax, thousands of dollars profit claimed to be made on whiskey, still our taxes go higher. Where is the money going ? Money used for whiskey don't build up our State, don't lower our taxes. It is a wrong idea that we must ' temD& men to drink whiskey, to get money to school oar children. God said, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," and I hope you will move the evil of the dispensary out of the Stale. I do not say there is ariy ttea i"g, but I do say it is one of the beet machines for stealing I know of. If the farmers want labor in the ountry and their tiies lower, vote it out; dou't have the disgrace on rbe proud old Palmetto State that 3 ou have to sell whiskey to school your children. For every dollar you make out of the low and dirty business, you pay ten dollars for one. Mothers, latnere, daugnterp, Doys, do your duty and vote it out of every county. P. J. Rucker.
