The campaign meeting held at Pelion on Thursday was well attended by the citizens of the surrounding section. The candidates spoke on the same issues as at the other places mentioned elsewhere, and the only - - - - - - A.'U sensation of tne aay was a warm uu, between candidates Sharpe and Crosson for the senate, Dr. Crosson taking exception to some of Mr. Sharpe's thrusts. There was some excitement for a short while, and there were lusty shouts and hurrahs for both candidates. Col, Graham closed the speaking of the day, a rain preventing the candidates for the House from speaking. The candidates for clerk of the court and other offices addressed the voters first. We were indeed glad to see our old friend, Col. James C. Fort, looking hale and hearty. He is the founder of Pelion and takes a keen interest in the progress which the town is making. We are indebted to our ever genial friend, Lucius W. Wise, and his very estimable wife, for the many courtesies shown us while in Pelion. Mr. Wise is the popular manager of the Sphaler store and a finer business man is not to be found. On account of pressing business engagements we did not get to attend the meetings at Rishton and Azariah Taylor's. We are told, however, that large crowds greeted the candidates at both places and the best of order prevailed. G. M. H. The editor attended the reunion at Little Mountain on Friday. The reunion this year was the best ever held and there were fully five thousand people on the grounds. The speeches were of a very high older and will no doubt result in much good to Newberry college. Mr. Byron E. George * and the editor were fortunate in receiving an invitation to partake of j a picnic dinner with Mr. J. E. Foy, of i St. Luke's, Newberry county, and we I feel very grateful to him ror tne gen- i erous hospitality bestowed. I Death of 0ti3 0. Drafts. Mr. Otis O. Drafts, of the Hollow creek section of this county, died on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, in the 29th year of his age. He was buried on Monday afternoon at Cedar Grove church, the last 9ad rites being conducted by the Rev. B. L. Stroup of the Lutheran church. Two of the children, we learn, are now critically ill with the same form, typhoid fever, of which their father died. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the widow and fatherless children and relatives. Subscribe to The Dispatch. \ Ml Dispensari * Total Invo Dispensary. No. Location.

Temperance Bally at Chapin. There will be a big temperance rally held at Chapin on next Friday, the 14th. The Hon. C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens; Dr. C. E. Burts, of Edgefield, and the Rev. A. N. Brunson, pastor of the Main street Methodist church in Columbia, have accepted invitations to be present. These are all able speakers?among the best in the state, and it goes without saying that a large crowd will greet them. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and Mrs. Joseph Sprolt, state president of this organization, will also address the gathering. The attendance is expected to be very large. 2?r. Walter Shealy Injured. Mr. Walter Shealy, who resides about 12 miles north of Lexington, met with quite a painful accident while in town Monday. Mr. Shealy had just placed a sack of salt in his wagon at the warehouse of W. P. Roof and had gotten in the wagon. "* - ? - - - A- ~ j _ ce ?: i-1 .. 'ine muies siart-eu on wiwivui warning and Mr. Shealy fell backwards out of the wagon, sustaining painful injuries about the shoulder and causing a slight concussion of the brain. Dr. E. P. Derrick attended the injured man and soon relieved his suffering. He was carried to his home in a buggy, but will likely be laid up for several days. CLOTHES CLEANED AND PRESSED.

Stomach troubles are very common in the summer time and you should not only be very careful about what you eat just now, but more than this, you should be careful not to allow your stomach to become disordered, and when the stomach goes wrong take Kodol,. This is the best known preparation that is offered to the people today for dyspepsia or indigestion or any stomach trouble. Kodol digests all foods. It is pleasant to take. It is sold here by Kaufmann Drug Co. ONTHLY STATEMENT OF 1 es in Lexingl For Month of July, 1908. ice Including Operating ] Hand first Total Sales. of Eac : Month.
