Can Solicit Business

Judge Hebbard has finally settled so far as
the Superior Court is concerned the case of
the Morton Transfer Company against the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company. On Novem-
Der %, 1895, he decided that the Morton
Transfer Company could solicit business on the
defendants wharves That decision, however
was upon a collateral point in the ease, and
case. 1t is the same as before. The transfer
company can solicit business when it pleases
and the steamship company is enjoined from
interfering.

Make tho Most Of Yourself.

It is the duty of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is sure
to find some place where he can be
useful to himself and to others. But
he cannot reach his highest useful
ness without good health and he
cannot have>good health without pure
blood. The blood circulatcs to every
organ and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health to
the entire system, but if it is impure
it scatters disease wherever it flows.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the one true
blood purifier. 1t cures salt rheum,
scrofula, catarrb, dyspepsia and rheu-
matism because these diseases have
their origin in the blood. 46

The storm of Tuesday of last week,
which did so much damage to
property and was attended by a
great loss of life, left many people in
Florida homeless and in destitute cir
cumstances. Later reports received
from the storm swept district, gives
heartrending accounts of great suf-
fering among the people, and their
deplorable condition appeals to the
sympathy and charity of their more
fortunate neighbors. Appeals have
been made for assistance and we
trust will meet with hearty and
liberal response from our people.

Poor old Charleston: she is never
happy it seems unless she is kicking
and the more she kick the more
damage she does herself. She is
now kicking about the wire tie and
refuses to handle cotton tied with

want to handle cotton tied with wire,
other markets can be found which
will gladly do so. This is the long
and short of the matter.

Advertisers, in placing their adver-
timents do so for the purpose OF get
ting as large returns as possible from
it. If this were not SO it would be
folly to spend a single cent with news
papers in the way of advertisements.
We look upon advertising as a bust,
ness investment from which a divi
dend must be received, the same as
from an investment in stock, bonds,
etc.. and whenever an advertisement
ceases to pay the advertiser he should
stop advertising. This is a plain
business proposition. The next con-
sideration which demands the atten
ton of the advertiser is the most In
, viting medium through which to at
tract the attention of the greatest
number of people who will probably
be induced to become purchasers OF
: the wares advertised. This is an
other business proposition that will
commend itself to the favorable con-
sideration of all business men.
In presenting the claims of The
Lexington Dispatch as the best ad-
vertising medium in Middle South
Carolina, we do so only on a sound
business basis. We respectfully So
lict an advertisement from every mer
chant in Columbia who desire to reach
the people OF Lexington and those in
the borders of the surrounding
counties and if, after fair
trial, they are not satisfied with the
returns, they will be at liberty to
withdraw their advertisement at any
time. This is fair. From the time
when the memory of man runneth
not the contrary Columbia has been
the market town for the people of
Lexington. There they go to sell
their cotton, corn, pease, cattle, chick
ems, eggs and other farm products,
and in return purchase their supplies,
everything needed on the farm or in
household, from paper of pins up
to a steam engine. As it was in the
past so it is today. No matter what
day nor what hour you go upon the
streets of that city, you will meet a
person from Lexington. This being
the case, which cannot be doubted,
is it not policy for the merchants Of
that city to seek to draw these peo-
pie to their stores. We think so.
The Dispatch is rapidly going up the
1900 hill-and to prove this we will
cheerful submit our books to any pros
pective advertiser-and we submit as
purely business proposition that
there is no better, no cheaper me-
dunn to reach our people than through
an advertisement in these columns
Give it trial and be convinced.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In reference to the presentment of
the grand jury, the Board of Con-
troll beg leave to explain that their
reason for ordering the salary of two
members of the Board Of Control paid
from Lexington dispensary is, that
the sales of the Chaplin dispensary
are not sufficient to bear expenses,
even by paying only one member.
We also wish to state that we have
all the time kept record Of so much
of all quarterly reports as pertains to
the interest of the county and town,

book was shown the special commit
tee of the grand jury.

can be of the greatest benefit to my
country and after consideration with
several of my fellow citizens, l have
decided to run for congress from the
Seventh district both for the partial
and the regular term, believing, as l
do, that the reorganized Republican
party is the only road for success to
a broad gagged Republicanism in this

lives and property will be better
cared for and progress and the high

better guarded by Republican gov

the true sequel to the situation and
not violent and hostile antsgonism

parties are waging. I believe the

pull down the public welfare with
fraticidal fanaticism to be a most
