Time!y Warning.


The Dispatch will be sent only to
prompt paying subcribers. The re-
duction in the price of the Dispatch
was made with the distinct under
standing that all subscriptions must
be paid il advance. The subscrip-
tion price reduces the margin so
close as not to warrant the expenses
of collector, and in the future this
department will receive our indi7;;aA-
ual attention. We will commence
the canvass of the county shortly
and hope to meet our readers face to
face and share their hospitality.
We have to pay for our paper on
which the Dispatch is printed in ad-
vance and to do this necessity forces
US to adhere strictly to the cash in
advance system il the future. The
names of all subscribers, who are in
arrears January lst, will be stricken
from our books. We trust that all
will renew as we will regret toloose a
single name.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re.
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation Of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature III doing
it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

Lexington Paws the Bills.

What has become of the Ike
Kirard case? This negro was con-
7icted some time ago at the Court Of
Of Sessions for Richland county for
raping white lady at Irmo in this
county, and sentenced to hang. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court, and this has been the last
heard of it. In the meantime the
negro languishes in the Richland
Jail, and Lexington, she pays the
bills. In justice to the tax payers
of Lexington this expense should be
, stopped at once.

DANCER frc1l catarrh..

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency to de-
velop into some other more serious
and dangerous disease. The foul
matter dropping from the head into
the bronchitis tubes or lungs is very
liable to lead to bronchitis or con-
sumption, that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country
than any other disease, As catarrh
originates in impurities in the blood,
local applications can do but little
good. The common sense method OF
treatment is to purify the blood, and
for this purpose there is no prepara-
ton superior to.Roods Sarsaparilla.
The powerful action Of this medicine
upon the blood expels every impurity,
and by so doing cures catarrh and
gives health to the entire organism.
