C 3KT, ,re of Your Valued Pat Hiss Buth Oswald g Diei On Saturday. I This entire community was shocked S on Saturday when it became known | that Miss Ru'h Oswald, one of the ? most popular and talented young laf die9 of this section, had died at 10 | o'clock at the Knowlton Hospital in m Columbia. Miss Oswald had been in | failing health for several months. | Her mother carried her to Glenn ? Springs early in the summer and later | to the mountains of North Carolina in 8 t'le hope that her health might be restored, but she gradually grew worse 1 and, as a last resort, she was carried \< to Knowlton's Hospital, where an op^ | eration was performed on last Tuesa I da3. | I Miss Oswald was the youngest j a j1 daughter of Mrs. F. \Y. Oswald, and j I ' is suivjved by her mother and the fol- ' J ! lowing brothers ana sisters: Mr. Kari g ( F. Oswald, of Lexington; Messrs. | 1 Harry and Rudolph Oswald, of Bair; r | Mrs. Edwin G. Dreher, of Lexington; ( Mi . Dr. J. P. Drafts, of Barr, and : j Mrs. J. B. Rhude Mcetze, of Columbia. Her remains were laid to rest in the s. cemetery at Pisgah Lutheran church t- on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock with i- impressive services by the Rev. B. W. a- Cronk, in the presence of one of the le largest congregations ever assembled le in this section to pay tribute to a deir parted friend. She sleeps beneath a e bed of flowers. S II The Doctors Had Big Day. ie The annual meeting of the Lexing11 ton County Medical society was held d here on Monday. There was a very large attendance of the doctors of the county, and a number of visiting phyj. sicians were also in attendance. Tue | meeting wa9 characterized by the picacutcinuii ui aui c o-uuicooco 0 some of the most prominent doctors in the State. The address by Dr. T. H. Dreher, of St. Matthews, a native I* of this county and a former resident of this place, was a very able one, ' and the doctor was warmly congratulated. His subject, "The Business - Side of Medicine," is one of paraj mount importance to the country doc1 ? tor, and it is regretted that our space forbids us fiom giving his speech in full. ^ Dr. A. B. Knowlton, of Columbia, founder and head of the Knowlton ^ hospital and who is very popular with ^ the people of this county, read a strong paper on "Uterine Deviations.'' . Dr. P. A. Cowaid, of Columbia, read an interesting paper on "The Laboratory and the Country Doctor." After the addresses a banquet was - tendered the visitors on the lower floor of the Masonic building, to which P a number of friends were invited. I This was one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever held in LexingS ton. the dinner ccns sting of barbecued meats, was prepared by Mr. Eli f L. Corley, that prince of cuists, and * served in his own inimitable style. There were a number of toasts, Dr. 0 R. E. Mathias, of Irmo, actiug as _ toastmaster. At the afternoon session the followJ ing officers were elected for the nextyear: Dr. F. R. Geiger, president; Dr. R. E. Mathias, vice-president, and " Dr. J. J. Wiugard, secretary. It is 1 worthy of note that Dr. Wingard has been repeatedly elected secretary every year since the association was orn agnized, which is but only an index ^ f a ViinrV* octoom in n?V?{ ai-ih - tu kUQ V J Ul^U COI ttiu 11? W HISSll UU1 fellow townsman is held by the doctors throughout the county. It is largely due to the efforts of Dr. Wingard that the association is so well or^ ganized today. He has worked in and out season for its success, and the t meeting on Monday showed that hi3 efforts are being abundantly rewarded. Among the visiting doctors present ? were: Dr. T. H. Dreher, of St. 1 Matthews; Dr. A. B. Kr.owlton, Dr. ? L. A. Griffith, Dr. F. A. Coward and j Dr. Durham, of Ooiuinl ia; and Dr. D. B. Frontis, of Ridge Spring. ^ The City Hotel. \ While in Columbia 011 Monday we spent the night at The City Hotel, the proprietress of which is Mrs. L. I. Kaniiner, formerly of this eountyfThe City Hotel is located conven. iently, being next to the transfer station. The rooms are larce and ^ airy, the beds comfortable and easy, and the meals are prepared in the best style. The rates are reasonable and the best attention is given to all guests. This hotel is deserving of c Lexington patronage and we would S advise our people to stop there while in the citv. ) ? The Tennessee Synod. _ The Tennessee Synod of the Lutheran church, embracing the States of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, convenes this week with St. Paul's church, 011 Hollow creek, be_ ginning today. This is one of the ill US i, Hit J.,Ua LttUl II UCUil^S t-vci neiu III this county, and the people of Hollow creek have made great prepaiations for the entertainment of visitors. Meeting of Stock holders. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad Company, will ; be held 011 Tuesday, October 18th, 1909, at 12:00 M. o'clock in the presi dent's oitice, in the City of Columbia, I S.

When The Dispatch went to press last week tne arguments were being made in the case of Ralph Clarke, a young while man, charged with housebreaking and larceny. The speeches were considered among the best ever delivered in the court nouse here, exSenator fcharpe and Col. E. L. Asbill appearing icr v_/icUK? axiu ouncitor Timmerman tor the State. The jury returned a verdict of guilty as to housebreaking only, and lie was sentenced to serve la months at hard labor. An appeal was taken to the supreme court and the young nun was released on a one thousand dollar bond. Belt Srtuckman, a negro, pleaded guilty to manslaughter ana w^s sen- j tenced to serve ten years on the pub- \ ! lie works of the county. Stockman ! I is the negro who killed Nancy Davi's, [ a negro womau, near Lexington, mote i tnan ten years ago and who was cap tureu by Sheriff L'oriey in Savannah t only a rew weeks ago. Pmk Tobias, a negio, was acquitted upon the charge of murder, he naving killed Taylor Pepps, anotner negro, in the lower part of the Fork last Christmas. Tobias was ably represented by Messrs. Efird & Dreher. Jonn Abney, a negro, was found not guilty upon the cnarge of housebreaking and larceny, it caving been ? alleged that he entered the store of R. L. Lybrand & Co., at Swansea, several weeks ago. He was defended by Graham & Sturkie. NEW TRIAL REFUSED. ? This was the last case tried, and for four hours on Friday Judge Wilson heard arguments tor a new trial in the case of Tnomas Craft, the young wnite man convicted at the February f term of court of the murder of Garfield Hutto, in the lower part of the county, on the 29th of December, last year, and sentenced to serve a life C term in the State penitentiary. Gra- r ham & Sturkie argued for the motion, while Solicitor Timmerman and exSenator Sharpe resisted the motion. Judge Wilson promptly refused to 8 grant a new trial ana cue case will be carried to the supreme court. Judge Wilson and Solicitor Timmerman deserve much credit lor having disposed of so much business during the term, nearly every case of any importance being tried. 1 Prof. J. Z. Wilson. Prof. J. I. Wilson, son of Judge Jno. S. Wilson, of Manning, S. 0., has accepted the principaisnip of the St. P John's school, special school district, for the session. The school opened ? Monday under very auspicious circumstances. Prof. Wilson has had experience and has given universal satisfaction wherever he has caught Like his distinguished father, is a man of pleasing and charming personality4 ana it is a foregone conclusion that he will have a successful year. The peo- ^ pie of St. Jonn's are to be cjngratt- | lated upon securing the sei vices of tins brignt young teacher. Churches of the Lex.
