On account of the annual report of
p Treasurer WiDgard we are compelled
to carry over till next week some
interesting articles, synong them being
a lengthy article written by Senator
Sharpe, favoring the dispensary for
Lexington county and one by the
jfe anti-dispensary committee.
To our patrons and correspondents.
We ask that all changes for advertise'ments
and copy for new ads. be put'
into our hands not later than 12 o'clock
Monday. Our correspondents will
also please send in all matter for publication
by this time. We like to
come out on time and the only way
we can do so is to get advertisements
and all other copy in early.
TRIP TO UP-COUNTRY.
Having been sick for about eight
-v months and recovering sufficiently
for a much needed outings Thursday
\ of last week we left here going via of
Columbia to Spartanburg where we
met up with that genial gentleman,
(Mr. Hester, proprietor of tne Argyie
Hotel, who is a great host. After a
sumptuous tea we repaired to the
lobby to chat about the famous
and growing city of Spartanburg,
which has grown wonderfully in its
manufacturing and business enterprises
during the past few years. To.
day it is one of the most popular and
thrifty cities of the up-country. Our
stay in the Spartan City was so brief
that We cannot give our readers even
a bird's-eye view of its many embellishments,
as we left on the early
morning train for Greenville.
At Greenville we were met and entertained
beyond expression by our
friend, Mr. John Brandon, who is a
wholesoul fellow, and his kindness
and hospitality was unbounded. We
were conveyed oyauto over various
districts of this .thriving business and
. manufacturing city, which is one of
the best in the State, which the exhibits
at the "big horse show" a few
weeks ago evidenced. We would not
attempt to give ner growm m m?uufacturing
and business enterprises
8'nee our last visit twelve years ago.
Her elegant and large stores are
lavishly filled with everything in the
mercantile line.
Greenville has always been known
as an educational centre and has an
urbane and highly coltnred citizenship.
The business men are kind and
courteous and ardaous in business
pursuits. It is indeed a busy city.
In the residential districts we found
palatial and commodious residences
situated on beautiful streets, which
are sanitary and np to-date in every
phase of a progressive city.
Sunday we motored out to Piedmont
a little city by the Saluda twelve
miles below Greenville. This is quite a
,
noteworthy little town with a population
of about three thousand. Especially
did we note the fine crops between
Greenville and Piedmont on
our return to Greenville. Corn and
cotton crop9 are looking fine. The
foliage of the verdure fields and the
'gentle summer breezes soothingly
greeted the passerby. We could almost
see the lightning bugs and hear
the "Sweet Whippoorwill Song."
We could not leave Greenville without
shaking the hand of our venerable
friend Col. Geo. R. Koester, publisher
of the Greenville Evening Piedmont.
His familiar laugh is the juvenescence
for an old man, at any rate, i9 good
xfor one with indigestion. A man of
his characteristics and tempermament
could not do otherwise than giye
Greenville her deserts in journalism, i
"Uncle Josh" wishes him continued
success.
Monday evening in the moonlight j
we had a most delightful auto ride
out to the Southern Power plant on I
the Saluda river which furnishes
"juice" for the city of Greenville. To
say we enjoyed our visit is expressing
it mildly. We were glad to get there
and loath to leave. G. M. H.

Still An Old Bacbelor.
While in Grei-nville last week it was
?
indeed a pleasure to xneei uur \JiSJ. I
friend and kinsman. John McCracken, |
who has accumulated some property |
there and is doing well for an old fellow
In fact he is second chief of
Stadier'9 Hill. He is still an oid
bachelor and is as genial and clever as
of yore, sits on his porch and cheerfully
whistles, '"Hard Times Come No
More."

On His Return.
Brooks J. Wingard, the eldest son
of our citizen, Col. J. Brooks Wingard'
who is the regularly appointed private
secretary to Congresman Lever, but
was granted a leave of absence from
his duties as secretary in order that
he could tour Europe as secretary to
the rural credits commission is now
on his return to this country. We received
a postcard from him mailed at
Paris. " Brooks" is one of our home
boys who is winning fame for himself.
He graduated at the University of
South Oarolina and studied law at
Georgetown University of Washington
and is bound to make a usefu
man.
A. T. Mack Dead.
Albert Taylor Mack, a son of Dr. B.
S. Mack, of Leesville and brother of
M?. P. J. Mack, died in Birmingham,
Ala., at the home of a married sister
who resides there, on last Thursday.
His remain? were brought to Leesville
accompanied by his brother, Mr. P. J.
Mack, andintered in the cemetery at
that place Saturday. He was about
nineteen years old, a clever young
man and had mauy friends. He was
guard on the chaingang of this county
when Capt Mack had charge and was
well liked by our people. The cause
of his death was meningitis.
Jacebs Second Inquest
The inquiry, or second inquest,
consuming two days brought out little
' ? ^ *Viek TooaKc fro crc*r\ r
I1CW IbblilXlUU V ciS IV luou awvu .
The verdict of the second hearing is
that of the first j nry: ' 'During the nigh t
of June the 27th the said deceased
persons came to their death at the
hands of a party or parties unknown
to this jury.''
The death of the family is still unexplained.
What, if any, will be the next step
in the investigation is not known.
Magistrate Frick dismissed the jury
subject to call and this may indicate a
possible further inquiry later. ,
A Good Selection.
We learn that Mr. G. Heber Ballentine,
who recently graduated at Newberry
College, has been eleoted principal
of Little Mountain high school
for ensuing session. He is a bright
young man who has attained success
under difficulties and we predict a iuture
for him untold.
A Good Place To Stop At.
When you are in Columbia you will
find The Albert Hotel a delightful
place to stop. Conveniently located
with neat rooms and comfortable
beds, The table is supplied with the
best the market affords, and Mr,
Arthur is a pleasant gentleman to entertain
yen,

HERE AT HOME
Lexington Citizens Testify
and Confidently Recommend
Doan's Kidney
Pills.
It is testimony like the following
that ha9 placed Doan's Kidney Pill?r
so far above competitors. When people
right here at home raise their voice
in praise there is no room left for doubt.
Read the public statement of a Lexington
citizen:
H. A. Howard, Lexiugfon, S. C.,
says: "For eight or ten years I was
afflicted with disordered kidneys. 1
suffered a great deal from pains in the
small of my back. My back ached
severely, I was tired and languid and
often became nervous. Headaches
and dizzy spells were common and my
sight was affected. The kidney secretions
caused me no end of annoyance.
Doan's Kidney Pills were finally
brought to my attention and I procured
a supply at the Kautmann Drug Co.
Harmon Drug Co.. Successors.
In a short time after I began their use,
I was relieved."
