- ? The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, April 10,1912. G M. Hakman, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwangeb, Assistant Editor . \ Entered at tne Post Office at Lexington, S. 0., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. L. v A few more weeks and the sweet ? -U! ?_I1 girl graduates win De noiaing nm sway. Wonder if the new bank examiner is a friend of the governor! If it 'aint one thing it is another? the baseball season is coming on. The county is not quite "broke" yet, but she is pretty badly bent. * Tomorrow in the city of Columbia the unveiling of the womens' monument will take place and thousands of people from all over the State will attend. It will be a memorable occa- i sion. Th% several railroads leading 1 into Columbia have offered reduced j rates. Columbia will, as usual, do I herself proud.- Many from Lexington will go to Columbia tomorrow, among them being the members Camp Steadman, United Confederate Veterans, . who will attend in a body. A traveling man?a member of the T. P. A. who travels the State pretty well?was in Lexington Monday and 1 predicted that Judge Jones will beat I Governor Blease twenty ? thousand votes. This was a conservative estimate, he said. On Sunday, however, we heard a Colombia gentleman who is connected with the operation of the > dispensaries over there, say that Blease will beat J mes thirty thousand votes. And so it j;oes. ?????? ; i -? This is shopping week in Columbia, and the city is alive with visitors. The Johnny Jones Carnival Company . is famishing a fine line of attractions and there are amusements for both old and yonng. The weather is ideal and the merchants are reaping the benefits of the season. It is expected , that tomorrow will see record-breaking crowds in the city. ? The Columbia Music Festival begins 1 tomorrow. This is an event in which musiclovers from all over the State are deeply^interested and the crowds \are already arriving/ Manager Brovm, of the Columbia theatre, announces that i the sale of seats has been far in excess i of all expectations. Those who attend ( will be fnlly%nd donbly repaid. , 7 Under tbe Commission form of gov- . eminent Columbia has greatly im- j proved its police department. We j have been keeping in close touch with ] Columbia affairs for the past forty < years, and we have never seen a more ( effective police force than at the present time. Chief Cathcart and his able 1 nr?H assistants are at all times on the job. They are fearless and , prompt in dischage of their duties while they are kind and courteous to ^ '! the public. t Lieutenant Swearingen is another ^ good officer, he having been connected , with the city's police force for a num- j ber of years. As a whole, there are no better men to be found anywhere ' than the men who compose the police force of the capital city. Mutt and His Regal. < TMutt had a little Regal, Propelled by gasoline, And everywhere that Mutt did go He rode in the machine. The auto struck a stone one day, 1 And from its course deflected; ' Luther said the auto i9 1 About like he expected. ' -Jeff. 1 Devoe Takes Least Gallons: Always. Paint Devoe; it's the cheapest paint . in the world: never mind the price; it ' may or may not be more. Less gallons ~ will paint the house; and the paint ^will outwear anything. ^kip wear; you've got to wait, to find that out. It covers more; you hares'* got to wait to find that out. ItrB the cheapest of all; no matter about the price. N. R. Watkins, Lofct, Texas, used 13 gallons on his house before; bought 13 gallons Devoe for same house and had 5 left. C. B. Edwards, of Edwards & Bronghton, printers, Raleigh, N. C., Med 3) gallons paste paint on hi. house; bought 30 gallons Devoe for iame house and had 16 left. That's how.' Sold by The Kaufmanu Drug Co. Buy your Fresh Bread at THE BAZAAR. Pelion Pappennings. Special to The Dispatch. Pelion, April 8.?The farmers of this section are behind with their work due to the iate rainy spring. There will not be as much fertilizers used this 5 year a9 last, the merchants as well as 3the farmers having had a little too ] much experience last year. There will ] be much less cotton planted and more corn. | Mr. John Shealy, from up in Saluda, has purchased some lots and a tract of . land from Mrs. Fort on which he will ? build in the near future. 1 Mr., I. S. Holly now occupies his *< new store. 1 Several mad dogs have visited this section recently and maDy dogs have J * , 'il? Antra Kf.pn oeen Diiten. oumc ui mo ? ???? ^ have been killed; others have not. It is surprising that any one should be so ( careless as to let their dogs that have i been bitten run at large, subjecting their own families and the public generally to the dangers that might re suit. j Smith Branch school closed on Friday evening, March 29, with appropriate exercises by the children. The teacher, Mrs. Sudella Oswald,, has re- I turned to her home in Lexington. Mr. Boyd F. Berry lost one of his mules by death a few days ago. The Bank of Pelion has moved into and now occupies its handsome new -j home. i M.essrs. John C. Crout and I. S. Holley are making rapid preparations j to erect residences on their lots in town. T Mrs. Dr. E. B. Utley, of Marion, and rj her charming daughter, Miss Vivian, ^ ha\ 3 been spending several days at the j home of Mr. J. W. Scoffield. Mr. J. H. Laird, carrier on route 2 . who broke his arm while cranking an automobile some days ago, has recov- , ered sufficiently to be able to serve his patrons again. Preparations are being made for the entertainment at the close ot tne ^ school here, which will take place on v Friday evening, April 19. Prof. H. L. j Harman is the principal, and he is be- ^ ing ably assisted in preparing the chil- c dren for the entertainment by Mrs. v Lessie H. Fort. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. F. n B.

The contract has been r awarded to Messrs. H. C. Van Orraer s & Sou, the well known Pittsburg con- s tractors, and the preliminary work is well under way. J It is understood that the building a will be occupied by the Kaufmanu t Drug Co. ( Derrick's Drug Store. 1 J The work on the annex to Derrick's ? Drug Store on Main street is being \ pushed rapidly and the building will be completed within a few more weeks. ( The annex will afford ample room and will greatly improve the appearance * of t :e store and will at the same time enhance the value of ti e property. HOW OLD_PEQPLE May Prolong Their Lives At an advanced age waste is more rapid than repair. The organs act nore slowly and less effectually than j in youth. The circulation is poor, the Dlood thin and watery, the appetite poor and digestion weak. We want to say to every aged person in this vicinity that Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic (with>ut oil) will prolong life. It creates in appetite, aids digestion and makes ?ood blood. In this natural manner Finol retards waste and replaces weakness with strength, giving new life to the worn system. If people in this vicinity only realized how Vino! invigorates old people we would not be able to supply the lemand. Try a bottle of Vino! with the unlerstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. ?- - ? ' ivumiiu naiiA ink iVAurmnnn uhmm w. Lexington, S. C. Ends Long Search For /irs.

Kohn of Columbia accompani:d Mr. Greever to thi9 city. They eached here shortly before- noon toay and went to police headquarters , /here they conferred with Inspector loardman and Detective Armstrong, iter going to the morgue. The artiles of jewelry taken from the body rere turned over to the minister. J The identification of the body ter- 1 linated the long search which has ( een made by the husband, brother, rother-in-law and a host of friends of i he popular Lutheran minister, and 1 leared the mystery which so com- 1 letely puzzled the police. Adolph T. 1 Iruegel, brother of Mrs. Greever, ( rriued here from Philadelphia early < ist night and went to the morgue. liss Ryan,,who was Mrs. Greever's urse at the time she disappeared, lso went ther9.
