The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 21, 1909. s* ?-? G. M. H arm an, Editor arid Publisher J). R. Halttwanger, Assistant [Editor. 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 for six months; 25 cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. ? ' CIRCULATION 2.325. Should be Stopped. On what seems to be reliable information it is learned that the law as to the sale of cocaine is being openly flagrantly violated in the Hollow Creek section of the county. It is stated that negroes are sentforth through the land 1 retailing the deadly drag, and the effect upon the farm hands has become j something awful, One negro is said j to have had in his possession as much as $1*2.00 worth at one time. V The matter has been reported to the officers of the law and drastic measures will be used to run the criminals down. This is one of the most serious violations of law, and the guilty parties will be punished severely, if caught. ' / ===== Saturday at Hilton. The editor had the pleasure of attending the barbecue of Mr. J. J. Haltiwanger, at Hilton, on last Saturday. A large, good natured crowd was in attendance, and Mr. Haltiwanger served one of the best meals it has ever been our pleasure to par tafce or. It was a gathering of the sturdy citizens, who mingled together for several hours in social conversation. Strange to say, there was not a single speech made although the prohibition question was discussed freely in little groups beneath the large shade trees. Sentiment on this question seems to be divided, with possibly a small majority favoring the voting ont of liquor. This conclusion is reached after talking with a number of representative men. There was much dis appointment, however, because there were no speech-making. The people of Hilton are intelligent, peaceable and law-abiding. They believe in the old Republican form of government and worship God accord1 ing to the dictates of their own consciences. It is always a pleasure tc be with such people. The crops in the Fork are fairly zqod, much better than those we have seen on this side of the river, but rain r Is fyadly needed in some places. ============ ^ There has been much talk of late about blindtigers taking charge of things generally during the two weeks of prohibition prior*" to the election on August 17. We do not believe anything of the sort. Sheriff Oorley and Deputy Sheriff Miller have promised to see to it that the law is carried out to the letter, and they are not men who say one thing and do another. "If the people want prohibition they shallhave it," declared Sheriff Corley, in talking to a Dispatch man yesterday. "I gave it to them before when the dispensaries were closed for two . ? weeks as you are no doubt aware, and I have no fears of handling the situation now," concluded Sheriff Corley. With this from the high and popular sheriff of Lexington county, it goes without sayi ig that the people of this county will have prohibition straight for at least two weeks. Only about two thousand dollars more are needed to secure the monument to the South Carolina women of the confederacy. Can't the people of Lexington send in a little more? Now is the time when every little counts. The State has worked hard and zealously for this noble cause, and too much praise cannot be accorded that journal. It is right amusing to read the different reports of the brethren anent tVia nroca aaQnniat.intl Lilt? VI Hit pi voc MOOVVamwav ? in Greenville. Nearly everyone differ as to the accommodations at the hotel, some declaring that it was "out of sight," others not so good, bur as a whole they all praise Greenville and her people. We regret very much that we were not able to be present. Oops are needing rain now and unless it comes within the next fewdays crops will give under the rays of the parching sun. &9V. J. 2. Harmes to Preacii., Rev. J. H. Harmes, president of Newberry College, will preach at Providence next Sunday at 11 a. m., at Pisgah at 4 p. m., and at St. Stephen^, Lexington, at 8:30 p. m. It i9 expected that a large crowd will greet the speaker at each of these churches. Deatiat Soldiers' Home, Mr. Thos. Mood, one of the old soldiers in the Soldier's Home in Columbia, died on Monday. Tnis is the first death to occur at ti e home. ** ? NEWSY NOTES FEOM GEAPIN. Cbapin is not dead, neither is she asleep, but she is securely moving I along on the ceaseless tide of progress. The crops of our section are making great improvement, and if seasons are favorable, a fair harvest will be gath ered. Rev. Enoch Hite preached a very acceptable sermon at Mt. Horeb (Chapin) church la9t Sunday afternoon. Miss Maude Farr is teaching a flourishing school at Chapin during the summer months. Mrs. Comins* Howie and Son Edward, of Columbia, are visiting at the home of Mrs. Ada Farr this week. On July 14th an election was held inscnool district No. 66 at Chapin, to vote bonds for the erection of a brick school building. , The bonds carried by a small majority, the vote being 52 to 46. This is another victory for education which is so much needed in our Southland. Dr. Geo. B. Cromer, ex-president of Newberry college will deliver an address here on next Sunday in the Lutheran church on the subject "Temperance". Dr. Cromer is a speaker of wide reputation and a large audience is expected. Dr. and Mrs. P. H. Shealy, of Lexington, spent Saturday night with our friend and townsman, Mr. R. W. Eleazer. The following have been elected to teach in the Chapin High school for the next session: Prof, and Mrs. Henry W. Fulmer, Mi3S Maggie Shuler and Miss Lela Fulmer. Prof. Fulmer is a live, energetic teacher of experience and by the co-operation of teachers and patrons at large we predict a progressive year for the Chapin High School. The many friends of Postmaster W. B. Williams will be pained to learn of his illness. Misses Fannie and Effie Smith, of Irmo have been visiting at the home of Mr. and Mr9. T. A. .Chaffin, the past week. Quite a number of picnics have been scheduled for Chapin during the month of August. Chapin, July 19. Observer. At The Grand. The Wills Musical Comedy Company is again at the Grand theatre in Columbia this week, and 90 well have they won the hearts of Columbians that the management of the Grand will likely retain them for the remainder of the season. This is one of the strongest aggregations on the road, and the performances are growing better every day, if such be possible. Beautiful young women, elegantly costumed, appear at every performance. They are sweet singers, artistic dancers and perform their parts well. The Misses Shannon and LaMonde are especially attractive and pleasing performers. Miss Shannon's singing is exceptionally good and every rsndition of hers brings a storm of applause from the audience. There are a number of other sweet singers and dancers. In fact every member of the WW? Company is popular, as is Kir fho innrOQEl'ncr ftPrtwHs at C V K/J U1?V ? The Grand. The price of admission is only 5 and 10 cents. The Caldwell. We want to urge upon our Lexington friends the importance of securing a good place to stop while in Columbia at a reasonable pri ze. The Caldwell hotel i9 such a place. It is headqrarters for all those who are hunting rest and quiet, at the same time offering all the accommodations and appointments to be found at other hotels, who charge twice the price. In this particular The Caldwell, under its new management, is filling a long felt want in Columbia. Columbia has felt the need of such a hostelry for many years. Located right in the center of the busy shopping section of the city, close to the different places f amusement, it is indeed an ideal place for all. The Caldwell is an ideal place for traveling men.

Shealey, a prominent young man of Aiken, was shot in his room, at i the home of Misses Reynolds and Mc- " Ghee, where he boarded, on York street. He was shot once with a pistol, and the ball entered his thigh I and lodged. His wound is not. thought to be serious, but it is exceedingly painful. The shooting is one of the t greatest mysteries the police, Mr. * Shealey, or the ladies of the house nad offer no satisfactory solution of it. Mr. Shealey is engaged to be married and invitations were issued a day or two ago to his wedding to Mi99 f Ruby Coward, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.' Thomas W. Coward, who reside a short distance from the city of Aiken. Negro Has 28 Children. , Tifton, Ga., ''Other roads," says I "TT -1 mororfow Af I VV . 1'.
