& -;r- . The Lexington Dispatch " Wednesday, August 6, 1913.. P"" ' : 9 If. Habmas, Editor and Publisher M. G. Sarkatt, Associate Editor. :? . Entered at the Post Offloe at Lexington, S. 0., ae second class matter. CIRCULATION 2,300. __ . More "hog and hominy'' will alleviate our farmers from the oppression of the Northern money vandals. M =======^^ The Dispensary question is the issue before the people of Lexington ja3t now. __ MON?? SITUATION. While we have been entirely optimistic and have had the utmost faith in tne democratic administration, we are indeed pleased that a man of such sound judgement and business sense of Secretary McAdoo is at the head of the financial department of the nation. He will distribute between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000 among the national bank9 of the South .to alleviate the money stringency and to assist in the movement of crop9. Money is getting "tight" now and /undoubtedly it is being done by the money kings of New York to disparage the tariff and currency legislation now before both houses of congress, and to discredit the Wilson administration. They say the farmers f v , will have to sell their cotton at a sacrifice to secure their notes if the money market continues "tight" for the next two months. Bat this statns will not confront the cotton growers, as Mr. McAdoo has offered help at a critical time. When the government fond is distributed as outlined by the Secretary there will be no scarcity of money. The buyers can purchase the cotton at the prices quoted for the staple, and the grower will not have to sell at a sacrifice. Gaston Happenings.

Mistaken men have been waiting for paint to come-down. The cost of their job has gone up, not down ; it always goes up by waiting; never c-oiaes down. Better Paint than Devoe? There isn't any. Suppose one had waited 20 or 30 years ago for a better paint than Devoe;hovv long would he have to wait'/ How long would he still haye to wait? The price a gallon makes seme difference; yes, but not- much; it's the paint that counts. It's the go-far that counts. Protection of property counts more yet. Better paint. DEYOE.

At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I was 4( soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good; 1 had gotten so weak I could not stand, I and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of 1( Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it. From the very first dose, I could tell it was helping me. I f can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If vou are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped more than a million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him.
