The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1896-07-15

Last summer one of our grand
children was sick with a severe bowel
trouble. Our doctors remedies had
failed, then we tried Chamberlain S
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which gave very speedy relief. We
regard it as the best medicine ever
put on the market for bowel com
plaints.-Mrs. E. G.. Gregory, Fred
erickstown, Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the
market for dysentary, summer COM
plant, collie and cholera infantum in
children. It never fails to give
prompt relief when used in reasona-
bic time and the plain printed di-
rections are followed. Many moth
ers have expressed their sincere graf
itude for the cures it has effected.

Mr. Morrell is an accomplished

been principal for two years, is a good
teacher and a worthy man, but has
lately engaged in mercantile pursuits

Hon. W. H. T. Rast, who was an
nounced as a candidate for Senator,
informs me that he most emphatically
declines any further part in the race.
His large and growing mercantile
business, he insists, would suffer too
severely by his engaging in the cam
pa;gn. He is a good, tried, strong
mau, with an unsullid record and
some anxious candidate will find by
his declination the political field
easier to cultivate.
DR.. ". T. Brooker, who in years
past made old Lexington such faith
ful and honorable Representative in
the Legislature, was announced by
his friends but positively declines to
run for a seat in the legislative halls.
Dr.. Brooker has no superior as citi
zen, and although be has been firm
advocate of Conservative principles,
he would have, at least in this Sec
ton, polled very many Reform votes,
and his intelligent friends hold that,
had he continued in the race, he
would have been hard to beat.
Col. D. J. Knots lately paid
a visit to Anderson and upper Caro-
lima to throw more forcibly his X
cathode rays upon the mysterious
history of Nancy Hanks, John G.
Calhoun and the probable paternity
Of the illustrious Lincoln. When the
Colonel gets on trail he is vigorous
in the pursuit, and he recites some
disclosures in records and reminis
censes which, if correct, make it ap-
pear possible that there was reason

Miss Grace N. Kimball. NJ. D., the New

who did such heroic work in the relief
of tle Armenians during the late mas
sacres. Miss Kimball has just arriv-
ed from Turkey and was an eye witness
% the recent massacre in Constantine
PIE and Bobeok. She expresses the be-
l!ef that the massacre were originated
by the Turks. Miss Kimball says:
Undoubtedly a strong revolutionary
movement exists in Turkey but the
movements ador.ed to suppress it are
Doth ihhuman and intolerable."
The Rome correspondent of the
Chronicle says:
Among the victims of the Constan-
stinople massacres were several Ital-

the streets on pixies. 1t is rumored that
he sultan had actually issued an trade
ordering the massacre of all Armen-

lie entirely wiped out by the abroga-

The declaration of the principles

was extinct from each.
Each had been shot through the
head, the ball in every East entering
the temple squarely, as If directed by
