Lexington Dispatch , Wednesday, APRIL 29.1914. B: M. Hash an, Editor and Publisher XX R, Haltiwanger, Associate Editor Snlered at the Post Offloe at Lexington, V 8. O., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. By request of one of our tireeu 'friends in Columbia, the Dispatch is publishing a lengthy story on the XJreecian-Tarky-Bulgarian war which will prove of especial interest to our readers at this time, and at the same time will show some of the reasons *or the war recently closed. In this war the Greecians came out victorious. Many of the Greeks of Colombia, it will be remembered, left their places Kneinoua 'hahinrt and went to fieht ~V4 .. _ w "for the causes of their brothers across ! "the waters. Many of them have returned to Columbia and other parts of the State, and have won the esteem and confidence of the people. In this -war all civilized nations sympathized with the Greeks, and that they came -out victorious was the cause for much .rejoicing. Prank W. Shealy for Railroad Commissioner. Iu this issue of The Dispatch we announce the candidacy of Hon. Frank - - * * - 1 A..J I W. Sheaiy, Lexington s popular ?uu ery efficient clerk of the court, for the position of railroad commissioner. Mr. Shealy only decided to become a -candidate after going over the situation thoroughly wibh his friends. Now that he is in the race, it is the duty -of every democrat of Lexington county to give oar candidate the benefit of his support. That the people of Lexington will rally to the aid of their candidate, is a foregone conclnsion. One of the most fitting tributes ever paid a candidate for public office in this section, if not in the entire state, <Was paid to Cle-k Shealy by the LeesTUie democratic club on last Saturday afternoon in the following resolution "which was unamimously adopted: "Whereas, it has come to our attention that Hon, Frank W. Shealy, olerk ct court for this county, former county treasurer for eight years, is a candidate tor the position of railroad commissioner; and, "Whereas, we know 3fr. Shealy's eminent fitness and preparedness tor ~*1ub position, we having known him from bis early boyhood when be worked for years as a common railroad section hand to get bread for hib widowed mother and little brothers and sisters, and having seen him rise by his own efforts to be one of oar beat and most progressive and* public : spirited citizens: #*Be it resolved, that we, the members of the Leesville .Oemocratic plub, heartily endorse him for the portion of railroad commissioner and pledge him our support and cheerfoily recommend him to the democratic voters of the state as a man, most worthy, well qualified and a proper person to receive the democratic nomination for said office.'' As stated elsewhere, practically every clnb in the county passed simi' ? Moftlnrmnfl whirn is a. o-nnri inri?x to the general popularity of Lexington's candidate. * Club Proceedings. Sandy Run.

On last Saturday evening, 25th the Association of the Ohapin baseoall team met for reorganization of a baso ball team at Chapin for the season of 1914. The first question that was brought np before the association was the financial affairs of t^ain, one that has been puzzling the team for years past, and one that will have to he solved before the first game is sem this year. The only way that the association could see to raise the means hy wmcn to support a baseball team at Chapin was to strike the merchants of Chapin for at least $30 together with the' $1 fee that each player will have to pay before he will be allowed a chance to make the team, would be theouly way to get a winning and self supporting ball team at Chapin. This is now left entirely in the nands of the merchants cf Chapin as to whether they will pay down in cash the small sum of $30 for the supper: of getting a winning hall team in their own town. The association hasgone to the trouble regardless of financial conditions to elect the following officers for 1014: D. L Shealy, Manager; Harry Snealy, Captain; hot unless the money i9 payed down in cash in a few days there will be n o need of said officers. Manager Sliealy is now ready to receive tbe names of ...u? ?: U , . ...... p , I luoae vvuu wiaii u my iui uam >| member SI for initiation fee before j allowed to play. j There will be practice at Chapin on I li'-xt Saturday, May 2nd, at 3:30 P.M.,' if said merchants will come auros-< with said amount before or at that j time, then there will be arrang ements i made on that date for haying a ball ! game for the Ghapin High School j Commencement, May the 5th. Glial- j lenges will be accepted by other teams at any time. If financial conditions do not fail there will be at least ten games played on home diamond this year. a mierestor j i | Beef"and"M Cattle are kept for two purposes; I duction and for milk production.

Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferer* j Find Relief After Few Dose* cf New Remedy are i Taken i It is needless to suffer any longer with rheumatism, and be all crippled i up, and bent out of shape with its i heart-wrenching pains, when you can j _urcly avoid it. i Rheumatism comes from weak, inactive kidneys, that fail to filter from the bloody the poisonous waste matter and uric acid; and it is useless to ! rub on liniments or take nrdinarv ; remedies to relieve the pain. This j only_ prolongs the misery and can't | possibly cure you. ; ^ The only way to cure rheumatism j is to remove the cause. The new dis| covery, Croxone, does this because it j neutralizes and dissolves all the poi! sonous substances and uric acid that j lodge in the joints and muscles, to j scratch and irritate and cause rheu| matism, and cleans out and strength' .ens the stopped-up, inactive kidneys, i so they can filter .all the poisons from I the blood and drive it on and out of ! the system. Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for curing chronic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and Madder disorders. You will find it | (liferent from all other remedies. ! There is nothing else cn earth like it. ' It matters not how old you are, or how long you have suffered,_ it is * | imnnctthltr\ fot'? if inf^ i the human system without results, i You will find relief from the first few J do. es, and you will be surprised how j quickly all your misery and suffering } will end.
