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.

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.

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.
