From tlelmar. i * Ic has been a long time since I have written aryching for the Dispatch though Uncle Josh has been kind enough to send me a copy of the paper every week for several years. Readers of the Dispatch of 20 to 25 years ago will remember me as a regular correspondent though it seems to have been only a short while since "W. H.

I am now and have been for the past eight years picking pennies, licking stamps and grumbling about the indifferent condition of the roads on route 7 from L'eesville, formerly route 1 from Delmar. I hope to let you hear from me occasionally henceforth as to conditions and matters of ? public interest in our neck cf woods. Mr. S. L. Shealy has opened up a store at E'argle's old stand, at Delmar, and "is getting in a nice little assortment of goods. He has also arranged to keep.ice and will have it on sale especially during the week-ends for the convenience of his customers. Cleveland School District No. 10 in ' Saluda county held an election on Saturday, the 2Sih, to determine whether the special taz shall be increased from 2 to 4 mills: The public roads covered by route 7 io Lexington county have not had a lick of work since January 1, and some parts of them need attention badly, especially the section by S. D. Shealy's and the one by G. R. and L. . C. Shealy's. The mail route has been on this litter section 9ince August 1, last, and there has been no work done "o- .. . . . . on it since cnat ume.

Route 7, Leesville, June 26, 1913. . Sid Your Children of Worms You can change fretful, ill-tempered children into healthy, happy youngsters, by aiding them of worms. Tossing, rolling, grinding of teeth, crying out while.asleep, accompanied \with intense thirst, pains in the stomach and bowels, feverisnness and bad breath,-are symptoms that indicate worms. Kickapoo Worm Killer, a pleasant candy lozenge, expels the worms, regulates the bowels, restores your children to health and happiness. Mrs. J. A. Brisbin, of Elgin, 111., says: "I have osed Kickapoo Worm Killer tor years, and entirely rid my children * of worms. I would not be withoutit." Guaranteed.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many yeais doctors pronounced it a local disease aDd prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh t? be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional'treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney <fc Cv., Toledo, Onio, is the only Constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in dose9 from 10 drops to a teaapoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dol1 lars ior an} cast? it i?na tu cuic. for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J.

The warrant was issued by Magistrate Easterling, of Columbia, upon complaint of Mrs. Josie Lanier, mother of the girl, Viva Lanier. The marriage ceremony was performed about two week9 ago by a former notary public who had his commission . revoked by the governor, therefore i the marriage was not a legal one.
