Wednesday, August 8,1906. gT; * . ~ " rir,~ ~ _ -?m .-It will take more than the unsupported hearsay testimony of Col. John C. Haskell to convince the * people of Lexington comity that Gen. Wilie Jones ever did anything wrong while connected with the Dispensary. From the statements of both parties, it seems that the charge against Gen. Jones is as flimsy as it is possible to be made, and convinces every thoughtful man that Col. Haskell is desperate v in an effort to create a sensation in order that his candidacy for the State ? ? ? ili nnkft rvnklin CAAn I, may pruuu uucicujr. auc yuwuv owu learns to have a contempt for a man who willfully charges wrong to another without the undisputed evidence of guilt in his possession. The assertion that no man can touch , the dispensary without becoming unclean is not regarded as true by those who make it. We believe that the administration of the dispensary in Lexington county, at least, is in the hands of honorable, straightforwardv and decent men, the peers in everything that go to make manhood and citizenship, of any men in the county. If there is corruption anywhere it must be charged to lack of care in the selection of the men who are charged with the administration of the law. The editor will make the rounds with the candidates, as usual, in the primary. They have always proven to be a very polite and especially clever set of gentlemen, and we have often thought it unfortunate that all of them could not be elected. We trust that the best of humor may prevail and that the discussions may be free and without feeling. It has I(I always been a great pleasure for us to mingle with the people of our county and learn their views on general matters and the condition of crops, etc. As we go to press the campaign orators are spouting their eloquence at the voters up at Steadman, where the eounty canvass opens. We shall try to give as full account of these meetings as is possible under the circumstances, and particular attention will be given to the platforms of the various candidates for the House, ~ in order that the people may know ' just what principle they are voting for in the election. Book Quarry Items. Mr. Cephas Roof, who has charge of the rode crusher for Dal ton Marsh Contracting Co., at Tarrar's Spring, " was painfully injured on the elbow by a crow bar hitting him. Several trips ?&'; / to and rro ur. l^erncK nas aga.ni placed Mr. Roof on his feet and he will be able to resume work soon. Mr. Kimball, the general superintendent, had his right foot mashed by a rock, weighing about 15 pounds, fell from the top of the elevator at a ' "i" distance of about 20 feet. Mr. Kimball is, however, on the work all the time in spite of his injured member. m New parts for the crusher have been ordered and it is the intention of the new management to entirely overhaul the plant. Although the crusher is not running, the sledgers are still at work and an immense pile of rock is ieady to be erushed. L. Steamer School Lectures. Prof. Patterson Wardlaw, of the * University of South Carolina, gave a lecture in the court house August 3, at 9:15 p. m., to an appreciative audience of teachers and citizens. Prof. Wardlaw is an eminent educator. He spoke of the aims of school from a psychophysical stand point and showed in a logical manner that the hicrhfifit, aim of school is to develop e? reasonable thinkers. The second of the series of lectures provided for the teachers of the sum; mer school and the people of Lexington was delivered by Prof. D. W. Daniel, of Clemson college, in the court house Monday evening. The house was comfortably filled with an appreciative audience composed of Lexington county teachers and townsp people. Prof. Daniel held the attention of his hearers throughout and all would have been glad to hear him longer. He spoke broadly on the subject of education, proving to his audience by his utterances that he is a clear and ready thinker and a deep student of the educational problems of the day. Prof. W. H. Hand, of the University of South Carolina, win deliver ine third lecture of the series in the court house this evening at 8:15 o'clock. Prof. Hand was for fourteen years superintendent of the Chester City W: &T-Vs * fe' - ' */ . a phatically for perfect nutrition. ^ $ And yet in the matter of restor- & ing appetite, of giving ^iew v strength to the tissues, especially $ <t' to the nerves, its action is that ^ cf a medicine. ? % Send for free sample. x Q SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, & 409-415 J'eari Street, New York.

Prof. Hand has been for many years a very close student of educational problems, edu?????i or?/1 orln/^oj-.innal tend UdblUJUat UCC/UO auu vv>v>v?..N. encies, and his scholarly attainment with his fluency of speech make his addresses particularly attractive. The last of the series of lectures will be delivered in the court house next Friday evening at 8:15 o'clock by State Supt. of Education 0. B. Martin. The people may expect something good from Supt. Martin, who has for several years been giving his energies for the improvement of the rural schools. All are cordially invited to be present at these lectures. Spring Sill Dots. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Apparently fair weather at last, after continuous showers "for the past month. The crops,have held up well during the rainy weather, and with continuous favorable conditions until the middle of September, we will yet gather an average crop of cotton. Corn is not so favorable, being drowned in the low lands?the late planting. Rev. Wm. L. Darr and bride are visiting their little daughter, Reba, and friends in this section. They will be with us a few days and from here will cm hv T,pp!Rville and spend some time at Mrs. Darr's parental home before returning to their home at Statesville, N. C. Little Reba Darr has lived in Spring Hill since infancy as one of Dr. Eargle's family. She will probably accompany her parents on their return to 4'The Land of the Sky." G. M. Eleazer, a recent graduate of Newberry college, is now convalescent from a spell of typhoid fever. Miss Louise Keen an and brother, Charlton, of Columbia, are visiting relatives in the Fork. On account of inclement weather the reunion at Little Mountain last Friday had a small attendance. Master Miles Koon is on a visit to his sister, Mrs. Bessie Spehl, in NewNewberry. This community was saddened by the death of Mr. Emmet Betchman, which happened at High Point, N. C., being shot to death by a ne^ro he had discharged the day before. At the time of his death he was in charge of a force of hands double tracking the Southern railway. His remains were accompanied by Mr. Whit Haltiwanger. The interment was in the family burying ground at his home near Chapin. Uno. Barbecue at Edmunds. The cue at Edmunds passed of quietly and every one seemed to enjoy the day and the speeches of the various candidates. There was never seen any where a more orderly, sober and attentive crowd, and the conduct of all reflected great credit upon that community. Messrs. Sharpe, Epting, Hutto, Gunnell and Wingard, candidates for the House of Representatives made strong practical talks, while Messrs. Dent and Derrick announced themselves for Auditor, and Mr. J. E. R. Kyzer asked the people to give him another term as Superintendent of Education. A number qf other-candidates for county offices were present but contented themselves with a day of general handshaking with the dear voter. The meeting was closed with a thoughtful talk by Congressman Lever, who reviewed his service in the House, and impressed upon the people the idea of keeping a man in Congress when you have found a good one, in order that his experience might become of service to the people. This applies as well to other public officers. He was given careful attention, and his talk evidently made a strong im pression, for he was liberally applauded by these people who have always trusted him. Went By Rope and Gun Route. Three negroes held for the murder of the Lyerly family which occurred at Barber Junction, N. C., on July 13, were lynched by a mob of three thousand determined men near Salisbury last Monday night. Although United States Senator Overman, Judge Long and Solicitor Hammer along with prominent citizens of Salisbury gathered on the jail steps and plead for the lives of the prisoners they were hung upon one limb and riddled with bullets. The lynching occured during a special term of court called to try the sixtette. | ANN G UN CEMIN IS. j For House of Representatives. T. C.
