The dispensary investigation will be resumed today, the hearing to begin at 3:30 o'clock in the Supreme Gnurt room. There was no hearing yesterday as some of the witnesses could not be had. Newberry witnesses will be on the stand today. It is understood that the committee will try to rush the investigation from now on in time to make a report before the legislature adjourns. After consultation with Chief Constable Hammett and the attorney general's office, State Secretary Gantt has refused to issue a charter to the "Mountain City club" of Greenville, because it is suspected the charter is wanted as a cloak to the blind tiger business. ?e? ?1? ? Ii Seven white menjwere arrested in Barnwell county on Saturday charged with murder in connection with the lynching of Frank and John DeLoacb, colored, on Deoember 21st. The Coroner's ir-quest of the Seaboard accident, holds -that the crew of the freight train must bear the blame. 1 Senator Tillman gives it out that he will be in the primary hustings \ . this summer and promises a "rantp ing" time for the boys.

Derrick, of the Spartanburg Bible Institute, is home on a bridal tour. We extend to them our beet congratulations. The school at this place is cot vary large at present on account of measles. A lot of fertilizers are being bought in and around this place. Some of our farmers have already started to turn the soil. Mr. J. W. Bouknight has a new boiler for his shingle mill. With best wishes to the Dispatch and its many readers I am, The Ball Head Bachelor. Feb. 5,1906. i? ' - * Gilbert Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The weather has been fine fnr a ih few days. Last Saturday was the coldest day this wioter. Preparations are being made for the coming crop. The advance farmers have their lands turned and the fertilizers hauled. Their motto seems to be "better crops." The scarcity of labor will be felt Vdry much this year and as such it will bo advieeable for our farmers to set their crops as they can do their own work. No doubt the man who - plants more than be can cultivate I himself will be found in the grass. Arrangements will soon be made to have regular preaching in the Baptist church. Rev. Iuabinet has placed two service* a month in the M. E. church. Tnis will be greatly appreciated by all. Rev. Wes6inger has a large catechising class in the Lutheran church and preaches regularly the second Sunday afternoon. Oar friend, Mr. W. H. Donly, has ? '? "'v' " ??^R^r*v*-' ' s ? All fyin Down HiS is a common expression we hear on every side. Unless there is some organic trouble, the condition can doubtless be remedied. Your doctor is the best adviser. Do not dose yourself with all kinds of advertised remedies? get his opinion. More than likely you need a concentrated fat food to enrich your blood and tone up the system. Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is just such a food in its best form, it will build up the weakened and wasted body when all other foods fail to nourish. If you are run down or emaciated, give it a trial: it cannot hurt you. It is essentially the best possible nourishment for delicate children and pale, anaemic girls. Wc will send you a sample free. mBe sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. ^ att r> n A?iinr PfjSnffjf auji! 6c DUYVINL "^5(1 I Chemists H 409 Pearl Street, New York 50c. and $1.

How ever some are beiDg kept at home to begin work. The farmers here can start their work four to six weeks earlier than in the clay lands. From the large amount of fertiliz era already hauld from this place, it seems there will be heavy planting or heavy manuring what shall be planted.

There is a hushed voice, a vacant place around our fire eide an unoccupied room and a vacant place at the dining table. No one knows how slowly the days and nights pass by! There is nothing in life for me but sadness and gloom. Ob, how can I give up my poor child. Y*s, Christmas has come and gone, a time that we have always looked forward to with pleasure before?a time of family reunion?but alas! no family retfnion had we. Instead of pleasure it was trouble.
