He Lexington Dispatch # ! Wednesday, June 5, 1912. G M. Harhan, Editor and Publisher d. r. Haltiwanqkb, Assistant Editor. ! - 'Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. 0., as second class matter. r\ ^ . ' ' CIRCULATION 2.300. ' , K = K We believe that it was John Howard Payne who wrote that sweetest of all jtoems, Home, Sweet Home, and with a heart full of love?love for home and native town?we can truly exclaim: "Mid pleasures and palaces ythough we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no K place like home." After an absence of three weeks, we are back at our post again. If is needless for ns to say that it was :v3 of the most pleasant trips of our lii'e, and one that we shall ever hold to memory dear. /. When we left but few of our friends knew of oar mission, or what it all meant; and it is aseless for us to speak of that now. We just merely want to make mention of the most li- -cordial treatment we received and of the generous hospitality shown us. f: ' We spCnt a few days in Washington, where we viewed the different buildj;ings and "took in" all of the places jV v of general interest, including Mount Yernon. Here we were cordially welcomed. It was our pleasure to have a call from the Hon. Asbury F. Lever, the popular representative of the Sevv'; ' enth Congressional district and his good lady. After remaining in Washington for four days, with Mr. Croggan and daughters, we went to Alexandria. Ya.. to visit Mr. Harry Griffith And family, friends of Mrs. Harman, where we were royally entertained and heartily received. From Alexandria we went to Baltimore to visit more of onr new friends and relatives, and fo meet old acquaintances. Words ar i inadequate to express our true appreciation of the cordial greeting we receu ed on every hand., Suffice to say, that we have never been among more hospitable people, Trnly the people of Baltimore know how to treat fel.e stranger within tiheir gates. Among those to whom we are indebted for. kindness shown are: Mr and Mrs. Robt. Warner; Mr, and Mrs. SpeyBr.dley; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Owings D-y; Mr. and Mrs. W.. E. Grlascock; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. 0. Glascock; Mj. and Mrs. Robert L. Dowden; Mrs. J. Willis Kincaid; Mrs. , Hannah Stanton; Mrs. Ooralie Day; Mr. and Mrs. Guy Warfield; Mrs. Margaret Emory; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. \ Marshal; Mrs. Frank 'Easter and family; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lang; Misses Spelshouse; Mr. ? Sanders and sisters. Baltimore is one of the leading i wholesale cities in the country. It is -a centre for all of the Southern trade, and many of our own people bay their vgocds annually from Baltimore jobbing houses. The advantages are great, and there is no better market in the "world. We visited the Baltimore Bargain House, from which concern we have bought many a bill of goods. This is one of the largest wholesale houses in the United States, its imI . mense trade reaching around the world, handling as they do, from a pin to an auto touring car. We also visited fhe old and well known firm of Chas. Pracht & Co., the popular house of Clark & Jones, the leading candy manufacturers in the city. Koch & Gq<, wholesale toy houses. TTLere is but one criticism we have V M U olf ? W *-?? /"* rI1 /-V A11? rM*Anf r to uiit&c ji uaiummo. 10 uui gitnu ; surprise, 8nd oft' times indignation, -we saw dirty negroes riding on street - cars occupying comfortable seats by the side of well dressed white women : -and too at times while young white " women had to stand up. So much we suppose, for the 14th and 15th amendments to the U. S. Constitution. We - X)l the South are not accustomed to this raodeof living, and certainly we could neter toJerate such conditions. If there is airy place in the country where a "Jim-Crow" law is needed, ' that place is Baltimore. G. M. H.

Backward, turn backward, 0, Time, j in your flight and give us a maiden j dressed proper and right. We are so weary of switches and rats, of Billie Burke clusters and peach-basket hats; wads of excelsior heaped in a pile, and stacked on their heads to the height of a mile. Something is wrong with the maidens, we fear. Give us the girls as they used to appear. Give us the girls we once knew of yore, whose curls didn't come from a hairdressing store; maidens who dressed with a sensible view, and just as Dame Nature intended them to. Give us a girl with a figure her own and fashioned divinely by Nature alone. Feminine styles getting fiercer each year? oh give us the girls as they used to ap /rr v - pear.?Wellington ^as./ x>ew&. Give us a girl with round cheeks like a rose; give us a girl with an uptilted nose; gi\ e us a girlie on common sense heels, on i with a head that is not full of wheels; one that can romp and can paw up the dirt; one without Gobbles on mind or on skirt; one that can build j a shortcake like a dream; one whose i complexion stands water or steam;! one who can fasten herself to a broom ! and laugh as she steers the old thing ] 'round the room; one whom no flat-! tery eyer can hudge, and one who knows something besides making fudge.?Houston Post. Give them the girl they want?we do not care. Dress her in hoops with a horrible flare. Make her look foolish with old-fashioned things?a sort of stuffed angel, developing wing9. Put her in corkscrews, with rings in he.' ears, and make her look double or treble her years. Make her a grandma when she is a miss, and have her I look useless to hug and to kiss. Give us the girl you can't tell from a boy? j the kind of a girl that the world can enjoy. Give us the girl who can drive a machine, dress like her brother and liven the scene. Give us the girl who is quick on her feet, and will push an old grandfather into her seat; one with a gentleman's collar and coat, who speaks in four languages, clamors to vote, reads Bernard Shaw and is smart as a whip, and is thin in the middle and straight at the hip. A fig for the proviccial mind. We do not! want any of that sort at all. Give us ! a woman in step with her day, who | ha3put the old Puritan business away; one who is lively and learned and i sweet, and a lady withal from her head to her feet; a woman to sigh for, to die for to love; a woman who's made of what men are made of. A flg for Priscilla, who did very well when the country was young and a yision of hell was a very good thing for the provincial mind. Give us the Twentieth Century kind, nor think to discomfit us coming around with the virtues of Mrs. Prometheus bound. Give us a club woman, loaded with J brains; or giye us a suffragist, smash- j ing the panes; give us a girl who exhibits her worth?the r?ew kind?the ne w kind?the hope of the earth! Give ns a rest, we're tired of girls, Straight fronts and hobbles, rats, puffs and curls. Those who are howling for maidens of worth Couldn't catch one if alone on the earth.
