The Press of |the ? State seems to have gone into rapture about the coming of the immigrants in the Witfcekind last^week. We confess that our foggyism does notjpermit us to be thrown into ecstasy about the matter. We are willing to watch this experiment, and to hopejfchat it may result in all that is expected of it by its promoters, bntjwejare not going into fits about its success until we have some assurance that it is a real success. We have no objection to a reason. able flow of desirable immigrants into our midst, but we want theselpeople . to come here fully realizing the condition they are to contend with, and without having false hopes raised in ?2gp| their minds by over zealous immigrant agents. * The movement to succeed permanently, must be laid in a true - representation to these people of our conditions, our scale of wages and all that. May be, the coming of the Wittekind means the solution of our labor L v problem, each day becoming more and more vexed, and may be, itmeans the beginning of all [.kinds of socil Pp economic and political ills of which we are now comparatively^free. I We would like to call the attention H of the city government to the condition of the streets in the town of Lexington. On every side there is room for improvement. The sidewalks are |\ full of rocks, roots and other obstacles which the traveling- public comes in <j>ntaetwith after night fall. We notice, also, that every little rain finds a place topnddle?water remains in the streets and it is almost impossible to cross from one street to the othtfr without having to wade through mud and water. These f conditions should be remedied at once. The tame for sleet and snow is here, and unless the drains are opened and the streets and sidewalks elevated to a v c >rtain degree, mud and water will "be found on^every side, thus making it impossible to stand on dry ground anywhere. We mention this not because we are born kickers, but having the best interest of the town at heart, we feel that it is but just and right that the mayor and aldermen should take this matter in hand and have fJtMA nonditioTiB iwrifidiftd ggg The unveiling of thje Hampton monument in Columbia yesterday was attended by one of the largest crowds in the history of that city. The old soldiers, though few in number, were tiiere; the United Sons of Confederate Veterans were there in numbers as Wk well as the daughters?all to do honor to the unveiling of the monument to the great hero of Seventy-six. . = The Fairfax Enterprise, which wr s 8) ably edited by Mrs. Virginia D. Young until her death some weafcs ago, will be continued by her husband, Dr. Young. The editor will be Mrs. Sake D. Meehan, who is interested with her husband, Mr. John -T. Meehan, in the conduct of the Carolina Citizen at Jefferson. i. "Does South Carolina honor Tinman?" asks the Atlanta Georgian. "Well, he continues to get popular majorities in elections for United States senator in which he has a personal interest."?Columbia Record. We lift onr hat to the Aiken Recorder.

Lydia, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abel Welle, was born October 31,1890, and departed this life November 15, 1906, making her stay on earth 16 years and 15 days. The funeral services were conducted by A. W. Rodgers. } Dear one, oh how we miss you; Your voice i9 heard no more on earth. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake9 to weep. J. W. "SUB JUT LIFE" ?That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connection with Scott's Emulsion | that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying improper and weak development, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emuision itself. What it does ! i it does through nourishment?the kind of nourishment that cannot be obtained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it. tWe will send you a 'sample free.

Germany ha9 taken up the pastime of reading character and telling fortunes by the tongue. Somebody has been making study of the organ of speech has discovered that it i9 full of indications. A long tongue is said to denote openness of character. It suggests generosity and free handedness. Its possession makts friends and enemies easily, but doesn't save money. When the tongue is long and thick the openness degenerates into a tendency to gossip and scandal. The future of the owr - is beset with troubled of his own making. It also indicates flightiness and inconstancy. Short tongues indicate secretiveness and dissimulation. Their owners make good detectives and attorneys. Tlie owner may acquire some money by economy and guile, but has not largeness of spirit to make a great fortune. Very thin pointed tongues are found in diffident people who do not succeed in life. Short and broad ones accompany craft and falsehood; the person who has such a tongue is compelled by it to deceive and b 3 tray, whatever effort he may make to keep straight. The vibrant, quavering tongue denotes the artic temperament. Brilliant carmine hue is a sign of long life, pale pink tongue denotes both weakness of character and delicacy of constitution. "If it's all true," says a German newspaper, "it is lucky'that it is only at the doctor and not at our friend's that we stick out our tongues." Resohtims of Respect. Whereas, it has pleased God in his infinite wisdom, to take unto himself oir beloved brother and deacon, J. A. Derrick. Be it resolved, 1st. That in his death Lexington church has lost a devoted member and Sunday school worker. 5 2nd. That while we sorrow over this sad dispensation we recognize our heavenly Father's own hand, and submissively bow to his will, knowing "He doeth all things well." 3rd. That a page of our church book be dedicated to his memory. 4th.
