J& . A. n NOTES AND COMMENTS. Gathered for Busy Readers of the Dispatch. The Democrats will control both branches of the next Congress. John K Anil, of Newberry, has been appointed private secretary to Governor Blease. After the Election?Said Teddy to Billy: "Did you hear something drop?'' How nice it would be and what a convenience it would oe to pedestrians if all the side-walks of Lexington were paved. E. W. Dabbs, president of the Farmers' Union, has issued a circular in which he urges the bankers to assist in the fight for fair prices for cotton. The Negro fair held in Colombia last week was a creditable exhibi- j tion of the progress of the "Brother in Black." It is said that fifty thousand persons at sea heard of the glorious Democratic victory on the night of the election by wireless. President-elect Wilson, in reply to congratulatory telegrams, said that honest business will not be injured by his admistration.

O'Hair, Democrat. It i9 1 truly an ill wind that blows nobody | any good. The giDning days at G. H. Roof's ginnery at Barre are Tuesdays. Fridays and Saturdays. Parties interested will please take notice and govern themselves accordingly. It is expected that the first official act of President Wilson will be to convene Congress in special session to tinker with the tariff as early as possible. The leaders advise this step. The Clemsou Tigers lost to the Georgia University in a game of football in Augusta last Thursday by a score of 27 to 6. Has the glory of Clemson departed; or, is the Tiger only sleeping? If Bryan couldn't be ejected President, he doubtless will be given a portfolio in Wilson's Cabinet as a reward for his servises in having three times led the Democratic party to defeat. The retirement Congressman Lamb, of Virginia, as head of the committee I on agriculture, opens the place for Representative Lever, who would be forced to give up the educational com mittee. The two-week's-old son of Auditor Dent is among the first of the children to be named for President-elect j Wilson. May the little fellow's life be a joy to his parents and an honor to His namesake. J W Caldwell, of Spartanburg, claims to have raised six bales of cotton, each bale weighing 450 pounds, to the acre. Can't some Lexington farmer do this and see Mr Caldwell one better. We are aware that Lexington land will produce it if Lexington farmerf will make the effort. Already the greedy politicians are "fixing slates" for President elect Wilson to smash. Among the names of the "statesmen out of a job," who are 1 aspiring to be United States Attorney \ for the District of South Carolina, is j that of J Fraser Lyon. From which j affliction, the good Lord deliver us. j It seems to be the unanimous desire ; of the people of Marlboro to send former United States Senator John L McLanrin to the State Senate to succeed John B Green, lately deceased. Some people will yet wake up to find to their sorrow that "Curly headed Johnnie" is not a dead duck in the political game. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again, and all things come to him who has patience. If there is one cause above another j which contributed so largely toward Democratic success, it was the deflection of Roosevelt from the party i which in the past has crowned hint with so many honors. We have no confidence in Benedict Arnold, be he I Republican or Democrat or whatnot, for if he will knife his friend in the hour of his necessity what must his i enemies expect? ^ Such men would i "rather rule in hell than serve in heave*." "Tells the Whole Story." To say that Foley's Honey & Tar Compound is best for children and grown persons and contains no opiates tells only part of the tale. The whole story is that it is the best medicine for coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis and other affections of the throat, chest and lungs.

Here are five letters from southern women which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. LETTER FROM VIRGINIA. Elliston, Va.?"I feel it my duty to express my thanks to you and your great medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles and had been confined in bed over one third of my time for ten months. I could not do my housework and had fainting spells so that my husband could not leave me alone for five minutes at a time. " Now I owe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering woman I want to tell her what these medicines have done for me and I will always speak a good word for them."?Mrs. Robert Blaxkenship, Elliston, Montgomery Co., Va. LETTER FROM LOUISIANA. New Orleans. La.?"I was passing through the Change 01 Lute ana r>efore I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was troubled with hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. I would get up in the morning feeling tired out and not fit to (io anything. "Since I have been taking your Compound and Blood Purifier I feel all right. Your medicines are worth their weight in gold." ?Mrs. Gaston" Blosdeau, 1541 Polymnia St., New Orleans, La. LETTER FR03I FLORIDA. Wauchula, Fla.?" Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my symptoms, headache, backache, bearing-down, and discomfort in walking, caused by female troubles. "I got two bottles of Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Sanative Wash and that was all I used to make me a well woman. " I am satisfied that if I had done like a good many women, and had not taken your remedies, I would have been a great sufferer. But I started in time with the right medicine and got well. It did not cost very much either. I feel that you are a friend to all women and I would rather use your remedies than have a doctor." ? Mrs. Mattie Hodnot, Bos 406, Wauchula, Florida. LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA. Martinsburg, W. Va.?"I am glad to say that Lydia E. Pinkhanrs Vegetable Compound has done wonders for my mother, daughter and myself. " I have told dozens of people about it and my daughter says that when she hears a girl complaining with cramps, she tells her to take your Com ?\f*t>rr a ttrw-t-n-wn-ptfrv. 712 V. 3rd St.. Martinsburg, W. Va. puuiiui 1UOUX XM J , _ ANOTHER LETTER FROM VIRGINIA* Newport News,Va.?"About five years ago I was troubled with such pains and bloating every month that I would have to go to bed. "A friend told me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I soon found relief. The medieine strengthened me in every way and my doctor approved of my taking it. 441 will be glad if my testimony will help some one who is suffering from female weakness."? Mrs. W. J. Blayton, 1029 Hampton Ave., Newport News, Va. Why don't you try this reliable remedy?
