Did you get that April FooljJ li March came in like a lamb and Went oat like a ram. ' C There is already talk of the June . as bride. Madam Rumor says Lexing- ai ton will have a "finger in the pie." si ======. oi What a happy meeting that will be, w When the old Confeds meet under the c< Z Palmetto Tree. at ======== tt We sympathize with the city of ti dewberry in the loss she sustained by se the disastrous fire last week.

P* They will meet in that city?many for th the last time?on May, 7th, eighth and *n ninth. The old soldiers love Colum- w bia, and Colombia loves the old sol- be diers. Reparations are already onn& derway for their entertainment and _ to every old soldier in South Carolina I in If- Columbia extends a cordial welcome. I ^ Hrej;'- There will be ho more, "hazing" at j ^ the University of South Carolina ifj R: the action of the board of trustees aPi a recent meeting count for anything. ?? Every student will be required to sign m ff -sf a pledge that they will take no part | in *'hazii^;," and will do all in his m power to prevent it. There has been 01 much trouble along this line recently, r as a result of which several students have been suspended while others have j rjlbeen expelled for the balance of the j p| term. I J1 f0 I SG Sheriff Rabora, of Aiken County, was arrested in Georgia last week ,; \ while in the discharge of his duty, f1 and made to pay a fine of $35.50 fori "carrying a concealed weapon." He J? was armed at the time with requisi- ? tion papers, signed by the Governor j m of Georgia, for one, Sam Harrison, a neg^o wanted in Aiken county for 1 ^ grand larceny. Has it reached the I ^ point where an officer of the law has ^ to go unarmed when hunting for pris- I ^ oners? Is it possible that in a great ^ State like Georgia an officer must carry w, his pistol * in open view to the world, instead of around the waist? Surely not. = Attorney General Lyon has rendereda decision in the matter of ^ closing the dispensary at Elloree in th rangeburgcounty, in which he holds that a county board has no right to eE order a dispensary closed. The opin- ar ion has caused considerable discus- th sion and many are of tne opinion tnac re Mr. Lyon is in error. In all proba- w] bilhy the matter will be carried to a t j. higher tribunal before the question is <fc finally settled. In the meantime, the fa dispensary will be closed on April jc thirty, in keeping with the wish of as three-fourths of the people of Elloree. ============== th The Dispatch wishes to extend a warm welcome to the Rev. W. H. Hiller, who has but recently accepted the pastorate of St. Stephen's Lutheran church and who began upon his R duties Sunday. He is a native Lex- of ingtonian, having been born and sh reared in the Dutch Fork section of n* the county. He comes from one Yf of the oldest and best families in this V; section, and we trust that the people w of Lexington and the members of St. at ^Stephen's will give to Rev. Hiller h< and family the aid and assistance R which they so justly deserve. w cc ^ ? la On arrival at the union station in ^ Columbia last Friday on a business , ^ trip, the porter or buss man of the . Colonial hotel, very politely accosted ^ ns and solicited our patronage as a . guest of that grand hotel. We had to laugh at the comparison, or striking resemblance, of ourselves, a lean, lanV. T>overtv-stricken newspaper ed 7 r - f itor, to'that of a retired New York merchant or a Connecticut banker, out on a tour for health and enjoyment. But it was consoling to us to c appear such a striking character like " Vanderbilt or some famous gentle- ^ man up north "out for a good time." 8 But come to think of from $4.50 to $ |25.00 per day, we soon concluded, at g such rates, we could hardly stav Ion- ^ J Krv . f; A ;r than a minute, and then only to he a birdseye view of this palatial sort. We certainlywould have first to rnsult a number of our y delinquent id prevail upon them to stiffen up it pocket book before we could enir on such a missson. However, we e not accustomed to so much silver ad fine linen nor too much genteel arvice. The grand fare of the Coloial Tourist Hotel, the mennu of the llinary and other departments are iperb and beyond expression. Ev ything as neat and attractive as toney can make it, we are forced > admit that we would have felt ke a "blind dog in s meat house" at ich a fine resort as the Colonial. Monday before the Board of County ommissioners a question came up i to the proper ownership of certain rfcicles at the county poor house, and lowed conclusively that no inventory : the property had been kept, for hich the stewart should be held ac>untable, turning same over to his tcceesor in office, taking receipt for le same. This is very important to ie tax payers of the county and it terns would be more satisfactory to 1 concerned. In fact every official of the county v tould keep an inventory of every tide in his office belonging to the >unty and when a new officer takes large let him receipt for this properThis, too, would obviate - any ouble as to rightful claim of articles ilonging privately to the officials of id offices. These invc ntories should 5 a matter of record in the County jmmissioners' office, which, at the oper time, could be referred to by e outgoing and new officials on takg charge of their respective offices, ear and tear, breakage, etc., could i accounted1 for. We would not give thought to any ing wrong with, nor is this article tended as a reflection upon any of it officials, for we can truthfully say ey are all honest, careful and capae in.every respect, and will compare vorably with the best of any county ficials in the State, and our people stly feel proud of them, as gentleen and efficient officers. But what we have said is purely a atter of business and trust it will ily be construed in this light. v ?: ? .s n w j jr ouna ov.ggy xn xroacu A young man from the Dutch Fork, bo has been paying his attentions r some time to one of the fair damIs in the mill district, had quite a ping experience Saturday night. He tched his horse and buggy as usual, it when he got ready to leave no ace of the horse and buggy could be und. Some of the young man's rids had rolled the buggy into the ill-pond and only the upper part of e top could be seen. His horse, o, was gone. The poor fellow was a loss to know what to do. SunLy morning, however, with the aid of lends, he pulled the buggy out, his >rse was found and he went on his ay rejoicing. m j. ? Bed Foa Chase. Saturday, by special invitation of s old chum, Pat Bickley, Dr. Blue ountain Joe F. Harman passed rough town with two of his favorite agdogs and on Saturday night they ijoyed the chase of their lives. In l hour and forty minutes they and eir pack had caught the bantering d fox on the Broad river hills, bich, they claim, an old hunter, Mr. C. Swygert, with his challenged >gs, had chased numerous times, but iled to tail the valuable prize. Dr. >e returned to Black creek Monday proud as a peacock, and Pat, the imitable, talks louder and faster an ever over their successful hunt. Bogs Lapped Bis Wounds.
