The Lexington Dispatch. G. M. Habman, 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 tliree months?invariably cash in advance. Circulation, Wetinesday. January 9,1907. i- ???ww?w????????? V v The third annual convention of the Southern Cotton Association will be held in Birmingham, Ala., on Jan. 17-19. Major Micah Jenkins has been reappointed revenue collector of South Carolina by President Roosevelt. Mr. Jenkins has named Mr. U. B. Hammet-1 a9 his assistant. In the Columbia correspondence to the Charleston News and Courier of January 5th, there appeared an error inasmuch as it stated that the firm of "Stevens & Cato, of Lexington, would be arrested for misappropriating funds belonging to the Va-Carolina Chemical company." This is in error; the firm of Stevens & Cato are doing business at Monetta, Saluda county. Lexington merchants are all running on a sound basis and an occurrence of this kind has never occurred, within our knowledge. Tije Augusta Herald compresses several pages of discussion into one small paragraph, as follows: "Those who say that the South cannot get along without the negro labor do not seem to realize that it can get along much longer with it." The more one studies these few words, the more meat one finds in them.?Edgefield Chronicle. ;The South Carolina Public Service Corporation, of which we have made mention in these . columns, ha've moved their headquarters from Or> angeburg to Charleston. The company is capitalized at ten million dollars and a meeting will be held on Jan. 9th, for the purpose of electing officers, etc. This enterprise should receive the support of all the people along the proposed route. There has never been an undertaking that means so much for this State and the people should grasp at this opportu-. nity to increase her resources. We want the road, we need it; South Carolina needs it; and the best way to get it is to put your shoulders to the wheel and push until the road is completed. The Lexington County Medical association on Monday passed a resolution, which will befound in another column, that is of vast importance to the people generally. Our dec tors have advised us well in regard to vaccination, thorough and complete, being the only means of stamping out smallpox, which fact can be attested by almost every inhabitant of this town ana vicinity in our experience of two years ago, and could any one previously realize what smallpox in the home or community me^ns in actual suffering for the afflicted; anxiety and distress of those exposed and debarred from free intercourse among relatives and friends by quarantine; and the financial and commercial lpsses, they would never need urging to their duty in this matter, and we feel confident that Dr. Mathias will have ample encouragement from both the profes. sion and laity in his efforts in permanently stamping out this loathsome and much dreaded disease. We sincerely trust that no one would so far forget his duty to himself and to his fellowman as to oppose such an effort openly, secretly or otherwise. A Card of Thanks. Mr* Editor,please permit me through your columns to return thanks to all who contributed to the donation received at the parsonage on New Year's day. There was left for future use considerable quantities of flour, potatoes, sugar, coffee, rice, hominy, chickens, eggs, butter, canned fruit, breakfast foods, lard, some pork and sausage, and other things of service to the inward man. Nor was "Prince" my faithful horse forgotten. A nice lot of corn and fodder was placed in the barn for him. In this connection j a hearty "thank you'7 is returned to i the person who had a tine turkey ! placed on the back porch on Christ- I mas night. It was greatly enjoyed. - For all these and other gifts received during the Christmas season, and ! time to time during the past year, I am truly grateful. All these kindnesses are the most highly appreciated because they come as tokens of good will from a kind people, among whem the writer has humbly tried to do the Masters will. May the New Year be fall of richest blessings for all. Sincerely, B. D. Wessinger. Gilbsit, S. C., Jan. 7, 1007. J J?

It is truly written that , wniie tne ciamustaie, uiit- vuui;g may die. The departing warnings of our i holidays have said that the young have' died. A. new mound in the ' Swansea cemetery will hereafter mark the resting place of cur young i friend Wilmob Connor, who will now sleen in the citv of the dead. For several months Wihnot had been a continual sufferer and for many leng weary weeks was confined to his room at Styx, the home of the Connors, But on Sunday evening the 30th of December, death severed the ties i that bind us to earth and his spirit J entered inio the spiritual world, his face aglow with smiles and his expressive countenance bidding adieu to the loved cnes gathered around | him. Nearly entering on his 20th I year his pilgrimage met its happy end and his life denied an entrance into the year of his majority and citizenship. In the last years of his life an entire change had come ever him and the end of the chapter told such a different version to the presace of his life. Some months before his death he had joined the Methodist church and hi9 aims, his speech, his entire self gave continued confirmation to the blessfed reality that although a man die, yet he shall live again. On 7VTn-nrlanf fV?P liffit1, HflV flf IQOev V/Al 1UVUUWJ V- .www VWJ J his body was brought to Swansea cemetery where the bereaved family was met by such a concourse of our citizens that the family can have no doubt that the dead young man and his bereaved kindred have many kind j sympathizers. At 3 o'clock the I funeral services were held at the | grave, conducted by Rev. J. C. Holly j of the New Brookland station. His theme was beautifully setforth as life a struggle and death a rest, and quiet composure at its close; as life the 1 contrast and health and death the respite and triumph when the conflict is o'er; that death was not the end but the door to enjoy the fruits of conqusst, that death had neither terrors nor pangs for the Christian. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Rose Hayes of Styx, and two brothers: Jame3 Connor of Styx and Charlie , Conner of St. Augustine, Fla. He was the youngest soil of John Conner, well known throughout Lexington county, who now sleeps beside his sen in the Swansea . graveyard. Spectator. Death of Jacob Moats. Mr. Jacob Monts, rormeriy 01 tins county, died at his home in upper Richland county, where he had moved several years ago. Mr. Monts was an old Confederate soldier, being a member of Co. K, 20th S. C. regiment. He was a good soldier, a good citizen, and leaves a large number of relatives and friends to mourn his death.

C., on Monday last, during j which, chiefly medical subjects were ' discussed and matters of a routine nature transacted, with the following j resolution passed unanimously, bearing upon the smallpox question and j vaccination problem: By Dr. W.
