Senator B. R Tiilmao, in response
to a numerously signed invitation to
address tbe peoyle of Lexington on
the whiskey question, came over from
Columbia by private conveyance and
made a timely address to a large
member of tbe qualified voters of
this county in tbe court bouse last
Saturday morning, in defense of tbe
dispensary system of curtailing the
use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage
by controlling its sale. The court
bouse was comfortably filled.' Almost
every available seat being occupied
bf men who do the voting with Here
and there a sprinkling of the gentler
sex, and almost every section of the
county being represented. Mr. Tillman
although much fatigued by his
travel and public speaking elsewhere
m the State, spoke on the subject of
dispensary or no disyeosary for about
one hour and a half, and was givea a
close and attentive hearing from the
beginning to the close of his address
and was frequently interrupted by
applause. * Among the quaint and
striking illustrations we mention the
folio wing: He said to the farmers
that, if the bogs should get into the
; potatoe patch would they destroy the
patch or drive the hogs out? As
much as to say that the dispensary
system was all right, but the thing
to do was to run the rascals out.
We have neither time nor space to
give even a brief synopsis of bis
speech, suffice to say that those absent
missed a treat and those present
were well repaid for the time lost
mu _
attending me meeting, me arguments
from the Senator's stand point
were well grounded. The no dispensary
people, as previously announced,
took no part in the proceedings
and were conspicions for their
abeeice, so the dispensary advocates
had everything their own way.
State Senator Eugene S. Biease,
of Salads, shot Joe Ben Coleman on
the streets of Salnda last Friday
afternoon, the wonnded man dying
the next morning. Mr. Biease has
given ont the following statement
for publication:
"Saluda, S. C, Sept. 9,1905 "
"The death of Mr. Jce Ben Coleman
on yesterday was caused on
account of the discovery by me of
intimate relations existing between
Mr. Coleman and Mrs. Biease."
Biease and Coleman were brother-inlaws,
having married sisters, and np
to the day of the tragedy were warm
friends.

< Mr. ? B. Smith, State President

in this State to meet next Mondav

mittee in naming 11 cents as the
minimum price of this year's cotton
and to forward the general interests
of the association.

of age, fell from the inside of the

mangled. He was attempting to

IN some conditions the
gain from the use
of Scott's Emulsion is
very rapid. For this
reason we put up a
fifty-cent size, which is
enough for an ordinary
cough or cold or useful
as a trial for babies
and children. In other
conditions the gain is
slower?health cannot
be built up in a day.

Emulsion must be taken

it's a food for tired and
