CIBCITLATION 2,300. rkT.Kliah in thia iasue the Drocla Nation of Supervisor Corley ordering the election on the important question of dispensary or no dispensary to be voted upon on the third Tuesday in August, being the 19th day. It appears one-third of the qualified electors have asked that the election be held. This will giye our people an opportunity to say whether the dispensary is to be re-established or Lexington remain as a dry county. We hope there will be a full vote. Let every qualified elecor that possibly can do so go forward on the 19th day of August and vote as his conscience dictates. _ Intense Heat.

Miss Mary Roof Bead. Miss Mary Roof,. whose serious illness was reported last Week, died Saturday morning at the home of her brother. Mr. T. J. Roof, near New Brookland, and she was buried in the family burying ground at the Roof old home on Snnday. She was about 85 years old and unmarried. Rev. J. A. Cromer, her pastor, conducted the funeral service r DRUGGIST GIVES HONEY BACK Dodson'a Liver Tone Gets a Four Square Guarantee from Harman Drug Store. When an article i9 sold a druggist who is willing to give it his personal cruarantee. it?s a mighty 9trong proof of real merit. That's exactly the case with Dodson's Liver Tone. It i9 a pleasanttasting, vegetable remedy for a slow and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's Liver Tone came on the market the sale of calomel ha9 gone 'way down. Thereasmis simply this: Dodson's Liver Tone is safe and harmless and guaranteed to be satisfactory?Calomel is often uncertain, sometimes dangerous, and no druggist wants to guarantee that it won't knock you out of a day's work and maybe send you to bed. Harmon Drug Co. sells Dodson's Liver Tone and guarantees it. For you and for your children, it's a good thing to keep a bottle always in the house. Harmon Drug Co. will giye you your money back if yon thiuk Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth the price. "Keep y~nr liver working and your liver will not keep you from working," is good advice to go by. adv. C. & G. Railroad. Mr. G. E, Sfeand, :the engineer for the propped Carolina & Georgia railroad, from Colombia to Augusta, visited Lexington recently looking over the possibly routes of the new road. We understand that he was favorably impressed with a slight change of the survey already made. This route would bring the road into Lexington by way of the Leaphart road on through the Oorley neighborhood, thence to Lextt tontcnn thft nromo lli^VUUi U QO< V/? JJ ter, of Augusta, has just returned from the North where he consulted the contractor and others interested in building tne road. It is said construction work will start as soon as a few questions of rights of way are settled. Clerk Shealy Won Suit. Clerk of Court Shealy has received notice that Judge Sbipp has decided the suit brought against him by Mr. H. H. Eleazer in his favor. The suit grew out of the Roof failure. Mr. Eleazer gave Mr. Sheaiy n check on the Lex J ington Saving9 h .nx tor pw ami me check was never paid by the bank. Mr. Eleazer then brought suit against Mr. Shealy as clerk of court to compel him to execute a deed for land that the chec^ was given to pay for. Mayor of Eau Claire. Mr. Wm. F. Muller, ex-Supervisor of Richland county, and a former Lexingtonian, has been elected mayor of Eau Claire, one of Columbia's incorporated suburban towns. Mr. Muller moved to Columbia from the Sandy Run section of our county many years ago and for a long while was connected with the well-known firm of Lorick & Lowrance. Several years ago he entered the race for Supervisor of Richland and was elected. He was recently elected Mayor of Eau Claire without opposition. By Auto to Charleston. Messrs Frank W. Shealy and Cromer Oswald visited the seashore Sunday. They made a record breaking trip in Mr. Shealy's car, covering the distance from Lexington to Charleston, 142 miles in ?hours and 50 minutes, without shutting off the engine. Frank is an old hand at the game. Wfl dnr^t believe he chased fiddlers. bat Cromer, we don't know aboat him. Somebody will have to vouch for him. Anyway they are good fellows, back in town holding down their jobs now. Visiting old Home. David George, a former Lexington boy and son of Mrs. Dedrick George is here visiting the home folks. He holds a responsible position with the Atlanta Steel Plant, a giant corporation and while as near as Angnsta looking after the interest of his company he decided to ran np to the old home for a few days. We are pleased to see him looking well and learn that he is prospering.
