The Thornwall 0rphanage,

Under the presidency of its found
er, Rev. DR.. Jacobs, is an institution
for the education and technical train
ing Of orphan boys and girls. It is
located in Clinton, South Carolina.
Nine handsome stone cottages house
the children. In addition there are
school buildings, general dining hall,
Industrial and Technical schools,
library and shops. A farm OF au
hundred acres gives the boys oppor-
tuDity for learning that business.
These orphans represent fifteen
different States,-(every Southern
State) and their parentage was Of
eleven different denominations of
Christmas. They are received at the
tender age of six, and after being
taught to take care cf themselves, 90
out TO lucrative situations.
The cost of support is compara-
lively small. Five dollars will board,
clothe and school a boy or girl for a
month. This could not be done,
were it not that the young people
are busy set and practice self help.
The money that cares for them is
that which each benevolent individual
gives, as moved by his own heart, or
the Father of all. There is not a
State in the Union that does net
contribute. NJ one compels. No
one is reponsible for their support.
Often, there is but a days supply
ahead; but never, in the 25 years of
it's existence, has there been want

Mr.. S James Stuart, WAS Iorn III
Ansou coultv, \ G, May g, 1922,
and died June S, 1899, in lis IS year,
in Lexington, S. G. Becoming a
resident of Lexington when very
young, be settled in business here,
and was united in marriage to Miss
R.becca Corley, and continued bis
residence in Lexington to the time
of his deceased. His death was due
to paralysis, which for time be
bravely resisted, but to which le
finally yielded. As man he was
Industrious, courteous and kird: and
his many deeds Of charity and
thoughtful kindness will long be
remembered by his neighbors end
friends. His cheerful countenance,
his urbare manners, his lavish hospi-
tality made him dear to all our
hearts.
We shall miss him upon our
streets, but being great lover Ct
home his family shall miss him more
than all. But he has left to the
world in which be lived so long, a
beautiful legacy, lovely family, who
were fondly devoted to him and, who
are blessing to humanity. To his
stricken widow, two sons and four
daughters We give comfort by the
sweet words Of inspiration. He is
not dead, but sleepeth.' He was
inferred in St. Stephens cemetery,
where he sleeps to await the coming
of his Lord.
The funeral exercises were conduct
ed by Revs. W. NJ. Harden and W.
D. Quick, in the presence Of large
company Of friends and acquaint-
ances.
The pastor Of the family, Rsv. j.
G Graichen, was with the departed
a short time before he passed away,
which time was spent in prayer and
sweet communion with Jesus, to
whom we committed our dear friend
never to see him again on earth. As
we bid our beloved brother and
friend adieu we say of him,
"Out of today's sin and sorrow:
Into blissful tomorrow,
Into a day without gloom;
Out of land filled with sighing,
Land of the dead and the dying,
Into a land without tomb

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
These are most delightful, autumn
days.
Everything seems to be booming
and business is lively. Our people,
as general thing, appear to be in
good spirit and we hope you are too,
Mr.. Editor, since your rounds on the
chase after the mighty dollar.
Our popular" widower and jolly
depot agent, has long wore the belt
as being the most jolly fellow in our
town and community; but he has
lost it since the appearance of a new
boarder in the home of Mr.. J. F.
Fallaw. We predict for him a CON-
ing Dewey.
The free schools around here have
opened up with bright prospects.
The Athens school has the sporting
and handsome bicyclist, MIR. Henry
Rish, as principal. Should he sue
ceed in the matrimonial world as he
has in the school room and bicycling
ere long you will hear of happy
union of two souls blended into one.
Miss Belle, the accomplish daugh-
ter of our esteemed DR.. W. T.
Brooker, wields the rule in the Gas
ton school, and Prof John Calk, an
efficient teacher, holds the fort at
Sharp's Hill. We welcome these
fellow instructors in our midst and
wish for them an abundance of sue
cess.
Another victory won, but not by
Admiral Dewey. Recently Mr..
Joseph Williams lead to the hymneal
altar, Miss Lolie, the daughter Of
ex-Magistrate, ". A. Goodwin, and
tehy were joined in the holy bonds Of
matrimony. May their path through
life be strewn with bright flowers
and one continual day of bliss.
Mr.. J. T. Ssurkie has a neat and
handsome dwelling in course ef
erection. Mr.. r j. Fallaw, the con-
tractor, will soon have it ready for
occupancy.
Mr.. Henry f. Harman, the accom-
plished instructor in vocal music, has
just closed a session at this place.
We hope to secure the services OF
Mr.. Harman again soon.
The pleasant and handsome George
W., the son OF R.bert J. Fallaw, has
entered the Laesville College.
Should you need any sweet
potatoes, Mr.. Editor, come down and
call on Mr.. G.. w. Pound, whose
potato cellar will convince you that
he is the champion potato raiser in
our section and if you need any

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatcb:
The Quarterly Conference of the
Methodist fraternity met here yester-
day to see after the interests of the
denomination. Rev. Thomas Leitch
is expected here today and intends
to carry on meeting for several
days.
Owing to misunderstanding of
Silas Hutto and the trustees of the
school as to the conditions of carry
ing on tn eight months school, he
has refused to comply with their re-
quest and they have selected William
Hawes of Brookland to teach the
school. Mr.. Hawes is Lexington
raised man and he comes well recon-
mended. He is graduate Of the
Leesville College and though young
in years has had some experience in
teaching, and will have the co,opera-
tion of the community to advance
our children's intellectual and educa-
tional interests. Mr.. Hawes makes
his second week with satisfaction to
the patrons of the school.
Link Jones, who sometime ago
slew Fred Stevender here, after try
ing the evasion of the legal authori-
ties for several weeks, has surren-
dered to Sheriff Caughman and is
now in Jail to await his trial.
On Sunday night the infant child
of DR.. J. L. Johnson, after short
illness, died and was buried in the
graveyard near here. Rev. T. F.
Rivers conducted the religious ser
vices.
Boliver I. Hayes, man we'll
known to the people Of lexington,
spent the day here today and was the
guest Of the Hutto Brothers.
Mrs. Paul E. Hutto is visiting her
aupt, Mrs. Adams, in Columbia.
Mr.. G. S Roof is surveying eff the
town on Cedar creek or the Perry
extension of the Southern Railway.
Mr.. Roof has called it Dewey Springs,
but the railroad authorities know it
as Thor. Thor was the God of So
briefly and soberness Of our Saxon
ancestors, and Thursday, or Tbors
day, was the day on which they wor
shipped their god Thor. It is sin
cerely to be hoped that the name will
be an appropriate one and that the
future town may be an up to date
place in that very much needed par
ticular.
Mr.. Bascomb Rast has established
harness department to the indus
tries of our town.
Several mad dogs have been killed
in this vicinity Of late.
There is a comely girl in our town
whom is considered by an anxious

We were just little fearful that
our dearly beloved neighbor across
the Congaree had, like naughty
by, forgotten the claims Of Lezing-
ton to his love and affection and bad
wandered off in the train OF the
beautiful, but nonetheless tickle dis
pensary scandal to whom be has been
paying such marked and devoted
attention recently. We were mis-
t,ken, however, for the star eyed sor-
cerer of the Congaree has returned
TO his first love and renewed his 'Ssit-
ting up" to the comely and charming
damsel.
We don't know but that the word
"verticslly," which appeared in the
article which the State criticises 30
good humoredly, will answer the pur-
pose for which it was used just as
we'll as the one We wrote. Whether
or not the State intended to acknowl-
edge that Columbia was unfortu
nately handicapped by reason OF the
constitutional prohibition, "0ertical-
ly," horizontally" perpendicularly,'
"centrifugally,' orin whatever position
the State might assume, the fact re-
mains that it did so, and that, too,
both in and under a headline" Ii
it was not an acknowledgment why
did it want Colombia "unshakled!
"Uashakled," from it's prosperity No.
.Unshackled" from its political en-
vironment? Not bit of it. But
"unshackled" from the constitutional
prohibition which forbade the city to
increase her bonded indebtedness l

Don't your want to borrow some?
The State will find it a very handy
article to have around its Office. The
State 50, 100000 unfortunately forit,
is for the present practically myth,
the most of it being exempt from
taxation by municipal ordinance,
which is commendable, just and
proper. So the S9,000,OOO cannot
legitimately be considered asa whole.
The State is never so funny as when
It attempts to be serious illogic
of its logic makes tired feeling to
come over us, and we cannot help
