The Lexington Dispa ch. Entered at th8 Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. G. M. Barman, Editor and Publisher. The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 50 cents fcr six months; 25 cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. ' ? t ircniaiHMi, Wednesday, June 20, 1906. Some of our exchanges had better not be too hard on W. J. Bryan, as they might have to eat crow. The annual meeting of the State Press association which was to beheld at the Isle of Palms June 27-29, has been changed to July 18-19. The trial of Daniel Zimmerman and C. P. Gibson for the abstraction and theft of the $12,000 worth of State bonds in Richland county courts has | -been continued, \ ??????? Kings Mountain is to have a $30,000 monument to celebrate the great battle fought there during the Revolutionary war. The president signed the bill on Saturday. The finance of Florence seem to be In exceptionally fine shape. The county has no outstanding indebtedness and |15,000 to her credit in the ? bank. ? ???????m Ex-Mayor Phelan, of San Francisco, announces that the total of cash received for the relief of the city is $4,243,000, and appeals for funds to aid in rebuilding. Wood Ambrose, a young negro, was shot to death at Prentiss, Miss., on June 11, by a mob which broke into jail, where the negro was confined on the charge of shooting a white rpan Dr. Walter Nicholson, a thoroughly reliable physician of Edgefield county, tells of a wonderful freak of nature. A negro child of his neighborhood was boTci a few days ago with two upper teeth and one on the end of its tongue. We are short of two printers sick and our subscribers will bear with" us, while we endeavor to do the best we can to get out the Dispatch on time. T^he old man is at the case and using the pencil and scissors. There is a demand for a printer here about now. Hon. A. F. Lever has filed his pledge and paid his assessment as a candidate for re-election as Congressman from this, the Seventh District. Mr. Lever has made such a valuable congressman, rendering unlimited service to " 4-1.04- ?/\ nf.VioTsi nnAri COnSUUUCJUWS luiav uv vwuvou apply. Jesse Cain, a negro who escaped from a Florida jail 11 years ago while under sentence of death, was arrested at Kingstree Friday and carried back to Florida, after stubborn resistance. Cain had opened a store, rented a four horse farm and was prospering when arrested. yr A. A. Duncan, of Seneca, and Miss Williams, of Return, Oconee county, t had a narrow escape from drowning * - * rm 1 _ AL in Snow creex. me nors? uiej wwc driving became frightened at the rapidly moving water and upset the buggy in mid-stream. Mr. Duncan saved the young lady by swimming ashore with her. The horse was drowned. The dispensary investigating committee is taking a rest and it is to be hoped a long one. We bet 4 gingercake that the whole outcome will not amount to a row of pins, except the tax payers of the State will stand chagrined at the loss of the twentyfive or thirty thousand dollars expended for naught. This amount would have almost recovered the State house, which is badly needed. The State campaign opened at St. George's yesterday. About four hundred people were present, one-fourth ladies. There was nothing sensational or even spicy in the speeches, all plain statements. Time will not allow us to give a synopsis of the meeting. There are eight candidates for Governor and a number for the other State offices. Some without opposition. Senator B. R. Tillman was opposed at the eleventh hour by Maj. W. W. Lumpkin, of Columbia. Senator Tillman was not present yesterday and the crowd was disposed not to hear Maj. Lumpkin speak. Today the party is in Charleston. On the 30th of this month they will be here. "Roll Timmprman has VA/i. X/Vli Jfc. AUA4MV returned home after performing his arduous duties as Solicitor in the prosecution of the business before the Richland term of court. He spent a few days rest with the "old folks at home," Batesburg, last week. This popular remedy never fails to effectually cure Dyspepsia, Constipation, Sick headache, Biliousness And ALL DISEASES arising from a Torpid Liver and Bad Digestion The natural result is good appetite . and solid flesh. Dose small; elegantly sugar coated and easy to swahow. Take No Substitute..*?? An up-to-date farmer reads his local paper. He wants to know what his neighbors aj*e doing, what is happening in the world aronnd him and he wants, in many cases, to study the r advertisements and find where he can buy goods the cheapest. He don't say much about it perhaps when he goes to the store to do his trading, but just let a merchant advertise a special bargain and see if the up-todate farmer don't find it out and take advantage of it. People generally lo've to be mentioned and praised, and we think it nothing but right to do so. Where is the good to wait until our bodies lay beneath the sod before words of praise are spoken when often not only just praise but love's tender flattery will smothen the hard places in life and make individuals know and feel that they live for something. It would cause them to strive for things higher and nobler in life. In this connection we want to say it makes a newspaper man feel badly that in the daily events and the passing to and fro of the general public, not only of those in public life but those in the private and society circle, to escape his notice which is too often done while he is otherwise engaged in the makeup of the paper. People come and go in and out without notice when our friends could easily and without presumption, send or leave a note of their friends visits, which we would very much appreciate in the busy toil of having suitable matter for the general makeup of a newsT*n.Twr and to nlease our neoole. Otherwise it apparently makes us look careless when we are ignorant of such things. County Executive Coamittee Most July 4th. A meeting of the County Executive Committee of the Democratic party of Lexington county is called for Wednesday, July 4th, at 11 a. m., in the court house, at Lexington. A full attendance is desired. C. M. EFIRD, Chairman Lex. Co. Dem. H. F. HENDRIX, Sec. Ex. Com. * How the Young Man Kept His New Job "IV^R. MUNTOBURN," said the I I caller, "I know the value of * * your time, and I will come to the point at once. Don't you want to have your life insured for $100,000?" "I am already carrying seven times that amount," said the multimillionaire. "Besides, young man, do you think I need any life insurance?" "To be perfectly frank about it, sir, I know you don't." "Then why do you think it worth while to try to get me to take out a policy?" "Because you'll never miss the money it will cost you. Because I'm down at the heels and out at the elbows, and I need a lift. Because the commission I'll get on your policy, if you take one, will make me independently rich for a whole year. Because you can't find ways to spend half your income, and this will give you another outlet for it, while at the same time you will be assisting a poor but deserving young man to earn a living." Mr. Muntoburn reflected a moment. "It's true I don't need any life insurance," he said, "but I do need some o/ifiya Trminrr follAirr +/"k of CI XT aVlAllf llorA a\,UT^ J VUII5 1W1VM tv WWJ MMVUb i-v* receive agents, peddlers, solicitors and bores in general, listen to their talk and politely kick them out, and I think you'll do for that.
