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 2,226. Wednesday, May 27,1908. 1 Now that Attorney-General Lyon . has the fifteen thousand dollars with which to prosecute the dispensary grafters, it is "up to" him to get busy. , Twenty thousand Georgians have signed petitions to give President Roosevelt a new term. The petitions will be presented to the national republican convention. Editor Gonzales, of the Columbia State, is taking his defeat for a dele pnn. gttbt? bU Uio uauvuai ucuiw^huv vention at Denver with a great deal more unconcern than some of his less interested brethren. We can't see where the editor of The State has jost anything. > \ The Dispatch is glad to learn that the boat line between Columbia and , Georgetown is to be continued. We have always had confidence in the business men of Columbia, who are . ever ready to lend assistance to any enterprise that will advance the pro' gress of their city. But, unfortunately, Columbia, like other cities, has many drones, and they will not give proper support to an undertaking unless they can see where they are to be doubly benefitted. But these men, we are glad to say, are greatly in the minority and cannot hold back the leaders?the men who take a pride and interest in everything that will advance Columbia and the whole of South Carolina. Newberry 'Letter. To the Editor of The Dispatch: Mrs. Prof. S. J. Derrick was called to the bedside of her sister, Mrs. D. F. Efird, in Lexington, last week. Mr. Sam P. Crotwell, one of our noted farmers, planted ten acres in cabbage this spring and has sold $2,800 worth already. The cost of production, etc., was about $500, leaving a net profit of $2,300. He is now, preparing to plant the same land in corn. * ' Business in Newberry is good, conoirloTMnor f.hp RAftlYMt",V Clf ITlOneV. Politics are beginning to simmer in ,this county. How is the 2.20 gate horse going to make it for the highest office in the gift of the people of our old home county? Can he make make it in 2.15? I have no ill will toward anyone; I would place every one who is worthy in office if I had the power to do so. I know there is no better man in Lexington county for srr^erintendent of education than Prof, vohn D. Farr. B. B. H. Newberry, May 26. I Card From Mr. EUisor. To the*Editor o'f The Dispatch: I wish to thank the people of Lexington county for the interest they manifested in helping me to bear my / trouble and in bringing the murderers of my wife to justice. I am glad they were caught, speedily tried and . executed, all in an orderly and lawful manner. I don't know when or where the report of my having married again could have gotten a foundation. I thank my friends so much, however, for saying that they knew the rumor was not true, thereby stopping the v circulation of such news. Nothing has been, or ever will be, further from my thoughts than the doing of something inconsistent with the most intense sorrow for the sad and violent death of my wife. PAUL E. ELLISOR.

Address, The Mother Gray Co., Le Roy, N. Y. 31 V ?^ rn 3To Report on Contests. Washington, May 25.-?It was ascertained to-day that no report would be made in the contest election cases of Representatives Legare, Patterson and Lever at this session of Congress. The committee has not had time, it is said, to formulate a report since the hearing a short time ago, hence the decision to let the matter go over until the next session. As already stated in this correspondence it has been decided to allow the three South Carolina Congressmen, Legare, Patterson and Lever, -$2,000 each for expenses incident to the contests, and to allow Aaron Prioleau the same amount, but no 'provision was made for Dantzler and Meyers, the other two negro contestants.?News and Courier.
