of the Court in the case of Jacob
Watts and Govan Watts, father and 1
son, who were conticted of manslangh-.:
" ' 1
ter rn me general bcpbiuub uuum uu?ing
the first week. The two were
charged with the killing of Adam
Watts, a Confederate soldier, 72 years
old, and the brother of Jacob Watts.
In passing sentence upon the men,
Judge Shipp said that if there is any
one thing that he has been criticised _
for doing since he has been on the
bench, it is tor his leniency in passing
sentences, and in this case^he expected
to show mercy, because he believed
that neither of the men went to the
home of Adam Watts with the intention
of taking the old man's life. The
two joined the chaingang party on
Thursday afternoon.
Davis Cook, Hiram Cook and John
Johnson, the three Aiken county white
men who were convicted of cheating

Yutreptild not please us better
than to ask your doctor
about Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
for coqghs, colds, croup, bronchftfe.
Thousands of families
always keep it in the house.
The approval of their physician
and the experience of
many years have given them
great confidence in this
standard cough Medicine.
Sold for seventy years.
Any good doctor will tel you that a medicine
like Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cannot
do its best work if the bowels are constipated.
Ask your doctor if he knows
anything better than Ayer's Pills for correcting
this sluggishness of the liver.

.Big department 9tore in uojumoia is
one of the greatest shopping centres
in the Caiolinas. The store i9 teemed
over with new and seasonable merchandise,
and every department is a
complete store within itself. Mr.
Mimnaugh went to the northern markets
several weeks ago, before the
price of goods advanced and bought
his stock at rock-bottom prices.
There is no better judge of goods than
Mr. Mimnaugh and he knows just
what his trade demands. It is needless
to go into details; suffice to say that
Mimnaugh -has the goods, and the
prices are always right.

Notice is hereby given to all concerned

Males Stung To Deatli.
One day last week Mr. Andrew
Long, who livss about two miles north
of Gilbert, had the misfortune to have
two valuable mules stung to death by

left standing near the bee hives. The
males palled the wagoir against the
gums, turning two of them over. The
bees attacked the animals in great
numbers. One of the mules died*' a
short while afterwards; the other the
following day. j
The loss falls heavily on Mr. Long,
who is a hard working, industrioiis

To the Voters of Lexington county:
I desire to return my sincere thanks
for the confidence reposed in me by
you in re-electing me County Treas.
There is no time in my political career
La which I have appreciated your confidence
more than I do now.
Notwithstanding the many false
rumors that went out over the county,
I now know that the majority of the
people still have confidence in my
character and ability. I have endeavored
to discharge my duty in the past
and will continue to do so in the
future, to the best of my ability.
Yours truly,
E. L. WINGARD.

Card of Thanks.
To the Voters of Lexington county: g
Permit me through the Dispatch to
thank you for the votes given me in
the first and second primaries. A life
of devotion could not repay this noble

a feeble pittance to give in return, but 0
I will strive in this brief period to J
labor for your interest and not betray h
the confidence reposed in me. p
With grateful acknowledgement to ^
all, I am your servant, ^
