About Clemson College.

Col T. Larry CAN'T, writing IN
recent issue of the Spartanburg
Herald, says:
I see that this year the special tax
an commercial fertilizers amounts TO
over $4,000, which money has been
uurighteously taken from farmers
tie hardest worked and most indus
trious class Of cur population and
given to the support Of an educational
institution to which not one farmer IN
several hundred is able to send his
son. Clemson College has more
money thar it knows what to do with.
They are overstccked with prctes-
sors, and in order to spend this
surplus cash are every year erecting
needless buildings and mourning un-
necessary expenses. I have always
opposed this fertilizer tax, for it ls
special tax levied upon our farmers,

which is as unjust as unlawful. But
if farmers are forced TO pay this
money, why not give it to the main
finance of our county schools, where
the poorer class OF children can reap
its benefits, and not dump it into the

only the sons of a few well-to- do men

where is the justice and reason in

What He Thought.

Il don't take much slock in these
stories about drowning mans whole
past life rushing before his minde's
eye like apanorama," remarked Uncle
Allen Sparks. Il got tangled up
with horse in deep water once, and
had pretty close call, but all I
thought was, I'D hate to have folks
think l hadn't more gumption than
to get drowned trying to ford a creek
where it's ten feet deep. We must
get out Of this!" And 1 managed to
cut the ho:s se's harness, and we both
got out alive. I don't know what the
horse wes thinking, but I'm willing
to bet it was about the same."-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Letter from Philippine Islands.

Office of the Adjutant General,
Headquarters Dept, Norther Luzon.
Manila, P. I, July "a, 1901.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in your
columns to address you and my
friends once more. I have just re-
ceived two copies of the dear old
Dispatch and it gives me a pleasure
to read it and I anxiously await its
appearance on sll occasions. I see
in the Dispatch of May 18th that
Corporal Heber Rawl is at home
donned in his soldier clothes, well it
is all o. K, to be donnedin in soldiers
suit and to have the reputation of be-
ing patriotic soldier" Well, yes,
but excuse me from any more of it.
This is the first thing I ever got into
that I could not get out of when [
wanted to, and if I were in the Lords
country I think old "Will" is sharp
enough to get out of this, but alas,
it is about 5000 miles from that CO.
iourn. But, then, as the little Filipino
Senorita's say, "Pocatiempo", I will
be home, but not donned in soldier
suit, for I expect to throw that away
lust as soon as I strike Frisco or New
York, and buy me suit of civilian
clothes. Now the army is all right
for some people and it is a good
home for those that like it, but ex
cuse me. 1t is quite an easy matter
to soldier over here now and all s
fellow has to do is think about The
time when he will get home and
grieve himself to death over it.

and ere this letter is printed in the
Dispatch I will have only foul
months to serve, so you see friends
my ccurtirg days will soon be OF
again. We soldiers have new song
over here: "There awaits 8 girl al
home for me-" and it is right gooc
song, providing some one else does
not catch her before I get back
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1901-09-11

Well, so much for the pretty girls,
and tell them to keep on waiting and
I will be back ''Pocatiempo" if moth
ing happens.
1 am working here in the Adjutant
Generals Office and like it very much
and then that which makes it so
pleasing is the twelve extra each
month.
The fighting is all over now and L
think within the course of another
month peace supreme will reign over
the Philippine Islands and I am
truly glad of it, while I have not
been wounded or anything like that,
but then I have been 80 close to it
that the little nuggets are not what
they seem. I have been in one bat
tie, five engagements, and seven
skirmishes, and the last one [ was in
I rooted a hole in the ground with
my nose to hide my head from the
bullets, and I don't want any more
of that sort of business in mine,
"give me back my liberty and I will
let you be-. Well, I am here and my
thoughts are there, that is quite
along ways apart.
I presume this is the last letter [
will write to the Dispatch as l have
only few more months to serve and
when l come home, Mr.. Editor, you
will have another citizen to pay road
tax for the next few years, if not
longer. I will tell all my friends
about the Fillies when I return for
I have not the time now, as this is
our dinner hour and in few minutes
I will have to start the Typewriter
and run it till 5 o'clock and then we
will have more Chow. chow"
Wishing you all long life and
happy home.

Clerk at Dept. Headquarters,

Water Cure for Chronic Constipation.

Take two cups of bot water half an
hour before each meal and just before
going to bed, also a drink of water,
hot or cold, about two hours after each
meal. Take lots of outdoor exercise,
walk, ride, drive. Make a regular
habit of this and in many cases
chronic constipation may be cured
without the use of any medicine.

something mild and gentle like Cham

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons IN
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pirnples.
Eternal vigilance is the price
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.
MI T. Shobe 27o4 Lucas Avenue, st. Louis.
Mo, says: MY daughter was afflicted for years
with dis6guring eruption on her face when
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene-
fit. Many medicines were prescribed. but with
out result until we decided to try S; S. S. and by
the time the first bottle as finished the eruption
began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth:
She is now seventeen years old, and not sign OF
the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
S. S. S. is positive, untalling cure Tor
the worst forms of skin troubles. 1t is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
