Th3 Lexington Dispatch. G. M. Harm an, Editor and Publisher. Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 50 cents fcr six months; 25 cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. ' ^ Circulation, 2,250. Wednesday, October 3,1906. v 1 v;' - * _ All the colleges and institutions of higher education have-opened with |g. the largest attendance in their his+^ 5^ ifwjw nflvftr hiu hflfin a time when the value of education was bo fully understood by on? people. The College graduate is no longer a curosity to be pointed at as a person of unusual distinction. Every communi(/ 1ay, almost every home has its boy or girl in some college. Education has come to be regarded as almost a necessity to genuine success. It used ^ to be thought only a luxury which the iich could enjoy. Every parent who sacrifices that his child may get an education, does more for that child than if bonds and broad acres*were laid up for it. Cultivate r the mind, train it, prepare it to meet trained mind^, and you have put it in Ij shape tp meet the galling, gruelling ? competition of this age of fierce competition. Let the educational army march on gathering strength as it moves forward. v The contest in New York for governor promises to be the most interesting affair of its kind which the country has had for many years. It ' has in it all kinds of possibilities. The -contest is between two men, much alike in many respects, and yet entirely different in method. Hearst, the Democratic nominee is vastly ncn, ^ and has behind him a large labor fol lowing who believe in bis fight tor honest government and a "square deal" for all classes. He is perhaps > more strenuous in his reform policies t- than is Hughes, the Republican nominee, who himself went after the big insurance thieves in no uncertain way. It promises to be a battle royal, >. with the more radical element favoring Hearst, while the Ultra Conservatives will rally to Hughes. Party lines will disappear for at least -this campaign. If Hearst is elected, he will & become a formidable presidential possibility, as will also Hughes. *~*r 1 ' mmmmmmm??m/mmmm??? 1 1 J ~ ' Cuban Intervention. The Federal government, through Secretary of War Taft, has taken into t its keeping the affairs of the Cuban government. Secretary Taft has been appointed provincial governor, and is now at Havana, the Cuban capital. Ameri. can troops are being hurried with all possible haste to the island to uphold the acts of the secretary of war. This act of intervention is justified by the failure of the Cuban government to protect life and property as is guaranteed by the Piatt amendment. Just how long it will be before a stable government is assurred by the Cubans cannot be predicted, and until that time the American people will continue to administer their affairs. Cotton Reports.

Texas is given 74 as compared to 69 last year, and 62 for the ten average. This report does not take into account the damage by ofcorm in the last few days. The Census Bureau reports 2,044,426 bales ootton ginned this year up to September 25, as against 2,355,715 for the same period last year. The price in consequence of these reports and the disaster by storm and rain, went up over a half cent per popnd yesterday. Liverpool became badly frightened and bought cotton at almost . any price. The gamblers of New York had to follow. The firm of Ferguson & Co., of Spartanburg, went to the wall because it had been caught on the bear side of the market. The world will wake up to the situation and prices will cro hicrher. The English mills o o ? will want 12,500,000 bales of American cotton to carry them through the next season. Where are they to get it? Mr. Farmer, you are in the saddle with both feet in the stirrups, and 311 you need to do is to hold a tight and senseable grip on the bridle. Ifar Building Going Up.

Both have poor blood: both need more fat. These diseases thrive on leanness. Fat is the best means of overcoming them; cod liver oil makes the best and healthiest fat and cmTT'Q EMULSION is the easiest and most effective form of cod liver oil. Here's a natural order of things that shows why Scott's Emulsion is of so much value in all cases of scrofula and consumption. More fat, more weight, more nourishment, that'6 why.
