The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 10, 1912. G M. Harmas, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwangeb, Assistant Editor. : Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. O., as second class matter. CIECUXATION 2.300. -r v \ = And Lexington continues to grow "Why shouldn't she? *? *- L;'- - ? rfAri^ aii au to mounts ib *c*y, &wv*j when she i9 good, bat when she's bad she's horrid. *- < . The voters should remember that the promises of a demagogue are like pie crust?easily broken. What would become of those Columbia square meals were it not for old Lexington? Just because a man happens to be a newspaper man is that any reason why he should not be allowed the r ^ same privilege a9 other citizens? Baseball is getting to be popular in Lexington. Mr. Edward's new team is coming some and it won't be long, at the rate the boys are now' going, before Lexiijgtou will oe up witn Columbia, and you. know them "scatters'' over there do play some ball. Oar subscription list continues to grow and if yen, are not already a reader of The Dispatch you should join the happy band without delay. The campaign will soon be on and we will, - as usual, give our readers detailed reports of the various meetings. Farmers should put in as large acreage in peas as possible in order to make up for the shortage in the corn crop, which seems now a certainty in this county. Corn today is selling for H.25 per bushel and no farmer can afford to pay this price, especially when .everything else is equally as high. With Woodr .w Wilson, of New Jersey, and Governor Marshall, of Indiaanna, both progressives, democratic victory seems now assured. Certainly n dm oeen a ung ume buicu ujo has had such an opportunity to "make good." Congressman Lever has retnmed to Washington, aJ'ter haying spent several days at home on account of the serious illness of his father. Before leaving, however, he gave oat an interview in which he predicted a great Democratic victory this year with Woodrow Wilson and Governor Marshall heading the ticket. ? Abasing the old county and the men who have been intrusted with ranning its affaire is entirely inappropriate and uncalled for. We are better off today in many reepects than we have ever been. We have more better roads, better school bouses, free bridges and free ferries*, and many other conveniences that we have never bad before. In short, we are just now coming into our own, taking our place along side of the other counties of the State, and all of this bogaboo about high taxes and no returneis the merest rot. The Dispatch#will within the next . week or two publish a full and complete statement of the true condition of the county and its finances so that the people may see exactly where we are at and what we are doin'r. Tbis we had hoped to in this issue, but the final settlement with the comptroller general not ?>? been made, aiio in advance o* such settlement we do not. feel that it would be just and proper to give the figures. In the meantime the people should withhold judgment untiL they are in possession ?f?the facts. A Spuare Deal. We want to reiterate what we have so often said before, that this newspaper will giyc eyery candidate a square ileal?that is this paper, as a newspaper, will remain strictly neutral. We jeserye the right, however, a.s a newspaper to defend or attack any issue which, i-i car judgment, will be for he good of the county and its people, cgardlessofwfceie the chips may fail, t newspaper has duties to perform rhh-b, at times, is very distasteful and unpleasant, and for which editors arc often abused. It is our purpose to be absolutely fair to every person seeking the suffrage of the voters; but we reserve the right to exercise our own right as free American citizens and cast our ballots for the men who, ili ouj. juufeUtO.LU, Will be? I s^rve ihe interests of all the people and who will Tbilect credit upon this *gr<iul old touiity?the county we love so well. The State campaign is indeed reaching an odorous stage. Unhappily we have reached the place in South Carolina where men are no longer elected to office on their merits, and for this reason it is impossible to get the very beat men to offer for positions of public honor and public trust. The demagogue goes about the State assailing everything in sight in order that he might advance his own personal gain. We believe that thousands of people are watching and reading the reports : of this high-handed farce with utter disgust. We had hoped with many others that when the liquor question was eliminated that the politicians wonld torn their eyes to the east and a VilryViOf nlaTIA fr?r thft UDlift I TTUin. VU at U1QUV4 ? w - 1 of the people and for the advancement of the State. Not so, however, and the people of a once proud commonwealth must necessarily bow their heads in shame. i A Pleasant Visit. Through the kindness of our friend Mr, Scott Hendrix it was our pleasure on Sunday to visit our good friend and brother, Capt. George S. Swvgert, who is indisposed at his home, in the Blue church section. It so happened that nearly every member of the family was present, and a pleasant little re-union was held. Mr. Geo. H. Swygert, a son, accompanied by his wife and little daughter, from Washington, arrived during the day; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Berley, of Pomaria; Mr. Bennie Chapman; Mr. and Mrs. James K. Smith and children were present. An elegant dinner was served, and it was one of the pleasantest visits we have made in a long while. We were indeed sorry to find the Captain so feeble, and hope that he will soon be himself again. DOUBLY PROVEN Lexington Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence. This Lexington citizen testified long ago. Told of quiet relief?of undoubted benefit. The facts are now confirmed. Such testimony is complete?the evidence conclusive. . ? It forms oonvinoing proof of merit. A. Marks, Depot St., Lexington, S. 0., says: "I had pains in my back and sides for months and did not feel well at all. My kidneys did not do their work as they should and I knew that I needed a reliable kifiney meaicine. I got a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills from the Kaufmann Drug Oo. and since I took the contents of one box the pain has disappeared and my kidneys have become normal. I advise otber kidney sufferers to try Doan's Kidney Pills.'' (Statement given March 9, 1908.) UPRAISES DOAW'S AUrAiJN. Mr. Marks was interviewed on March 23, 1911 and he added: "I take pleasure in confirming my previous en- 1 dorsement of Doan's Kidney Pills. I certainly think that this preparation is { worthy of the highest praise." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 1 cen s.

Another old soldier has crossed the cold dark river. J. J. Lown sleeps the sleep of death. In his quiet home surrounded by loved ones and friends on Thursday morning last his gentle spirit passed into the great beyond, "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." Mr. Lown was 82 years of age, and his whole life had been spent in doing good. He served throughout the War Between the Sections in the 13th regiment under Capt. Jieetze, and no better soldier ever carried a musket. a4-v.a niAoo <vf t.v?A ot.riffi hft returned UliD VjIVOV/ V* V41W ?- ? ? ? to his home and, by hard work and perseverance, built up for himself and family a competence. He was a lifelong member of the Lutheran church and was ever ready and willing to lend bi9 aid toward advancing the Christian cause, and his works will follow him. Mr. Lown leaves only one son, Mr. James Lown, his other children having died some years ago and hi9 wife having also passed away within the last couple years. The funeral services were conducted from the home on Friday morning at 10 o'clock by the Rev. P. P Risiwger and the interment followed in the Baily burying ground. Barbecue at Swansea.
