1 hi Lexington Dispatch: Wednesday, March 12. 1913. / O M. Harman, Editor and Ppblishei J. W. Ogilvie, Assistant Editor Entered at tlie Post Offloe at Lexington, S. 0., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. Woodrow Wilson is the, twenty, eighth President of these United States. t 4 ? ====== President Wilson ha9 called [Congress to meet in extraordinary session ?... a 1.( vu n.yiu iav? In the matter ot compulsory education the Colombia State argues that you can lead a horse to water aDd make him drink, and seriously insists that suoh a phenomena is possible. The friends of Hon. John L. McLaurin are urging him to enter the race #or Governor next year. We are informed by some of onr exchanges that he is considering the call of the people and will announce his decision later. Richard Only, a member of Cleveland^ Cabinet, has been offered the Ambassadorship to the! Conrt of St. James, while the friends of Mr. W. E. Gonzale*, of Columbia, want liim to go to Cuba. As a result of the effective work of Congressman Lever,Lieutenant Gibbes Lykes, of Richland county, has been restored to the regular army from which he was dropped la9t year by reason o? bi9 disappearance. Governo# Blease has refused to c appoint James H. Fowles, Jr., Judge of the. Columbia Township Court which was created by an Act [of the . .. last legislature, on the ground that he nQW held the position of Magistrate, Governor Blease is said to have expressed himself in the following forceful, if not classic, language: "If the police authorities of thecityof Columbia do not remit the fine of $3 75 assessed my chauffeur Saturday morning by the recorder, I shall hereafter pardon every man who applies to me - from that court. If they will steal from me?who paid the fine?they will j steal from the other fellow.'' The fine was not remitted andjfthe negro j was pardoned. This looks to us very much like patting a premium upon crime. Remove the fear of the law from criminals and anarchy is the result, and society, which is the foundation of all government, becomes contaminated with frand and corruption. Chronic Stomach Trouble Curel There is nothing more discouraging | than a chronic disorder of the stomach, and it is nor surprising that many suffer for rears with 9uch an ailment when a permanent cure i9 within their yeach aod may be had for a trifle. - "About one rear ago,'' says P. H. Beck, of Wakelee, Mich., "I bought a package of Chamberlain's Tablets, and since using them I nave felt perfectly we!;.
