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.
H." had his friendly controversial
scraps with some of its correspondents.
I write you all one time again to

al90 to mat? many new ones among
yon. 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.
Dr. and Mrs. 0. C*. Holley, of Summit,
Ga., visited relatives and the
home folks Qn route 7 a few weeks ago.
C. F. Saner has moved his saw mill
to the Nichols place on route 7.
Ufiss Rosa Dre her, of Linwood college,
Gastonia, N. C., is home for the
summer.
Next time I write I shall try to have
something to say to the Rural Carriers.

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."

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

terribly. One of Chamberlain's adverI

Obey That Impulse!
Instead of enduring the daily torment
of weak back, backache, sore
kidneys, swolien joints and rheumatism,
obey that impulse to "take Foley
Kidney Pills. They co-operate with
nature, which accounts for their success
in all kidney and bladder disorders.
They are healing, strengthening
and tonic. Obey that impulse to-day
and give them a chance to help you.

Arrested and'Released.
> Sheriff Miller arrested last Wednes'
day afternoon and placed in jail Wal'
ter Aiken, who was charged with
' having married a girl under 16, years
; of age. 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.
A marriage license was granted by
Judge Drafts and Solicitor Timmer'
man, being a notary public re-married
' the couple in the judge of probate's
office in the presence of Sheriff Miller
and several other persons last Wednesday
night. Solicitor Timmerman says
' this wa9 his first marriage ceremony to
' perform and while he did not go about
it exactl}' like our well trained ministers,
still we venture the assertion that
i by reason of the fact he is a notary
public and solicitor of our circuit, at
the same time marriage being a holy
ordinance of God, we believe the knot
will dow hold.
Sheriff Miller released Aiken after
the happy culmination of affairs just ,
related.
