I Among the graduates of the Medi- j al College of Georgia, last week, we j ofciee the name of eur young friend,, L. C. Brooker, of .Swansea. Mr. ! . .Brooker is the son of that grand old man, Dr. W. C. Brooker, who is so 7 7 well and favorably known to the people of this- county, and we under- i stand that he will associate himself j ' / with his father f?r the practice of his ' profession. Highly Elated. j Z Mr. J. W. Crim, of Sandy Kim, so highly elated with the disfavor that was shown the proposed new county |p -at the citizens, meeting last Wednesday, sent to the editor a large corn cob in .the shape of a hand tightly ' clasped, - with his congratulations. We are highly elated, too, and will 0^ do our "derndest" to get the county commissioners to build you a good ' -'c" to ad to Lexington court house. Allan of Our Typo. ; Mr. John H. Roberts, of route 1, V . who has the happy distinction of i $if never having taken a drink of whiskey," neyer smoked a cigar, never took a jag chew of tobacco, never bought a , , pound of bacon in his life, lives at home and boards at the same place and has the first dollar given to him yj ' when a baby, was here Saturday and Sfe. paid his respects to our offiee. Truly, J . there are but few men in the county that can say so much. He is always one of our promptest paying subscribers, never letting his subscription ex-j pire. We didn't think there was g another man in the county of our habits. . Annual Picnic at Irene. The annual Sunday shool picnic at Irene Saturday was by far the most , successful ever held. Mr. T. H. Wilv j a A1 . _'.1 V i Hams, superintendent 01 tne scnooi, 1 was master of ceremonies, and the - .program was carried out in a beautiful manner under the supervision of Miss Ellen Hendrix. Addresses were ? made by Congressman Lever, Rev. A. S S. Leslie and Rev. A. R. Taylor. The x childrens* exercises were good. The crowd was large and everybody presJ ent spent a pleasant and profitable <lay. In the afternoon a game of ball was played by the Lexington second nine and the Irene team, resulting in a score of 10 to 6 in favor of Irene. Cards Printed. Business and visiting cards neatly printed at the Dispatch Job Office for 4'" 50 and 60 cents per hundred?All styles. * Latter From Xrao. To the Editor of The Dispatch. We all know how the weather is, yet when we are pushed for something to &ay, we talk about the weather. It seems to be natural with most people. This reminds me of an pld gentleman who was very deaf and who always took it for granted that the first question asked would be about the weather. A mischievous fellow, knowing his weakness, one day said to him: "Good morning, sir! How's your wife?" To which the old man answered: "Ugh! damp, dirty and disagreeable, and no signs of a change." Irmo is still on the map; ever the same?not dead?but moving along slowly., The habits and customs of the people remain the same, which is a well recognized characteristic of the Dutch and their decendants. They are thrifty; ever in pursuit of the dollar which, in their estimation, outweighs some of the more important . issues of life. We move when the spirit moves us, somewhat like Quakers, or when the hand of progress pushes us forward. We need more of the civic spirit, and an awakening to greater interests, educationally and morally, in the future welfare of our children. We should learn that we live cot for ourselves alone, but for our children and for our country, and for them we should put forth our bestefforts. Some time last year Rev. Richard Carroll bought the Lowry homestead oi t>uu acres near our town- <*uu. purposes to erect buildings and to establish thereon a negro industrial school. Also, he has given fortyacres for the establishment of a negro Baptist college. Through the efforts of this noted negro educator it is veryprobable these schools will soon be in operation, and it is hoped that this may stimulate the white people of this community to the extent that they too will put forth greater efforts in the interests of education. Surely we are not going to stand idly by and see the negroes attending school and receiving education while our own children grow up in ignorance. That accomplished and long ex-" perienced lady, Miss Mamie E. Crooks, has just closed one of the most successful terms of school that has ever been taught at Irmo. She is a hard student, an earnest worker and one of the best instructors we have everknown. We greatly congratulate ourselves on having had her services. We appreciate her excellent work, and hope to be able to retain her for another term at least. Having had a splendid exhibition of school exercises about Christmas, we decided to close this term on May the third with a basket picnic and addresses by invited speakers. Prof. 'Derrick, of;White Rock, our worthy Countv Superintendent of Education, Mr. J. B. Rawl Kyzer, Hon. A. F. Lever, the much beloved "Baby" Congressman, and Rev. Wayne, of the Methodist church of this place, addressed the audience. All of these gentlemen made splendid addresses, and we greatly appreciated both their presence and their good speeches, hut we feel sure that the other three will join us in feeling honored that we had the pleasure of a most splendid educational address from Congressman Lever. Mr. Lever has not let the high position he holds turn his head, bub he is today the same friendly, genial fellow that he always was, and he makes us all feel that he is still one of us. How characteristic of the true and noble man that he is! May'4, 1907. ' H. New Department at Monckton's Mr. W. H. Monckton, of the Globe Dry Goods Company of Columbia, has added a new department to his large and popular dry goods store, a china and crockery department. Mr. Samuel D. Friday, experienced in the business, is in charge of this new department. They have one of the most complete lines of this class of goods ever shown in Columbia, embracing everything from the cheapest piece of crockery to the finest article in china. Glassware of every description for all purposes, from the cheapest to the most tastily ornamental lamp. Tinware by the car load, wooden ware, such as tubs, buckets, trays, rolling pins, etc. Refrigerators, water coolers and thousands of other useful articles too numerous to mention. This stock was bought especially to meet the demands of the wholesale and retail trade. Every individual housewife will find just what they want and should see this stock. Merchants wishing to either fill in their stock or buy crockery, will save time and money by calling or sending their orders to the Globe Dry Goods Co., Columbia, S. C. \ $13.60 For Bound Trip. The rate to the Jamestown Exposition from Lexington is ?13.60 for the 1 round trip.
