? /.. ' f The Lexington Dispa ch. ?? Entered at the Post Office at'Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. G. M. Harm ax, Editor and Publisher. The subscription price of the Dispatch is a year; 50 cents fcr six months; 25 cents for three montJis?invariably cash in advance. '1 _ Circulation, 2,250. x Wednesday, July 11, 1906. * / j - The Supreme Court has decided that the slot machines cannot be operated in the city of Columbia on the Sabbath day. The court holds that the statute under which the seizure of the machines and their contents was made is still on the books and is an active law in full force. It holds futhermore that the machines are devices for evading the law and that when a person by dropping money in the machine secures a cigar or other value he has consummated a trade and that it is as much violation of the law as if the trade had been between two persons. The effect of the decision will be that the city Sunday law must be observed and obeyed, which is right and proper. ?& -* l**" . Senator B. R. Tillman virtually opened his campaign at Sandy Flat, ip| Greenville county last Saturday, to an emense crowd of citizens from far and near. At Columbia, Monday night, \ he again threw hot-shot and shell. - Yesterday he made a calm and cool speech to a large crowd at Mathias C-rvmncrs It is imnossible for |7 ^JTC 1 i IC/JL ftX j~ _ v ,, us even to givex anything like a fair synopsis of his speeches for their f length would take more space than we v: have. But as there are seventeen or v. more of his speeches -to be made we || will endeavor^ from time to time, to cull the important parts and publish for our readers. ft In another column we publish a sketch of Lieutenant-Governor John T. SlCan, who has in various ways served the State of South Carolina ably and well. He is a man of sound y i judgement, discreet in all things and has broad views. Logically he is the candidate for governor and deserves r the promotion i and Lexington will r - give him a warm support. * : _ ~ The tenth biennial convention of g ^ the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church in the South convened at Dallas, N. C., yesterday and i will continue several days in session. - This body includes the Lutherans of the entire South, east of the Missisgippi river and south of the Potomac. ? - It is made up of eight district synods, as follows: Virginia, South West r. \ Virginia, Tennessee, Holston, Nortli Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi. x \ I v; - : . 1 The executive committee has decided that magistrates shall be recommended by4his committee instead of going intc^the primary. It seems to us that the primary election would have been niore democratic and satisfactory to ill concerned, but they have the matter in hand,, and by their decision the voters will abide. A Card./ -* ? * ? -nasi. XI T\; . TO me UiOlwr 01 nut; unpawn. The time is upon us for the production of candidates to fill the various offices of the county. And, I see the season^ climate or some other conditions have produced a lot already. But. I am concerned at president for those who are for the legislature. I seethationly three have announced for that office. Now, as the issue will be mainly the dispeiisary or no dispensary it is very proper that the candidates who offer for the house should state on which side of this question hey stand. Therefore, I ask such candidates who have come ont toe the house to publish through the Dispatch ;which side they are on. Dispensary, or no dispensary? And those who anx nounce themselves, or. are announced by their friends* to state which they favor. It is not necessary to write a long article, all that is wanted is a clear statement of your position on the whiskey question. There is no room in this campaign for a straddler. I will be glad if the leaders of the prohibition movement will bring out an anti-dispensary ticket for the legislature. Name three of the best men yoB 'ean find that are against the dispensary. The time has come for action?let us meet it. Yours for prohibition. C. H. Corbett. ~ Swansea, S. CI, July 6. i CONTINUE Those who are gaining flesh and strength by regular treatment with Scott's Emulsion should continue the treatment In hot weather; smaller dose and a little cool milk with it will do away with any objection which is attached to fatty products during the heated season. Send for free sanplt. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409-415 Pearl Street, New York. 50c. and |i.oo;4tll druggists. The state campaigners opened up after a weeks rest in Columbia last Monday. Some hot shot was cast. Yesterday they had a warm time at Orangeburg from whence they go to Sumter, Wednesday; Manning, Thursday; Monek's Corner, Friday, and finishing up the week at Georgetown. Monday they are at Kings tree, Tuesday at Florence, Wednesday at Marion, Friday at Conway, Saturday at Darlington. Examination Day.

Nell Edwards, the expert trimmer and milliner of Mrs. Nannie Clark of this place a few days, and yesterday at the regret of many friends, Miss Nell, left for her home, accompanied by her sister.
