The pastor being present asked the
blessing, then the good mother said,
come children, grand children, great
grand children, and great great grand
children, and friends and enjoy these
bounties with me. So there was
good time. At 2 o'clock everybody
returned back to the church, pastor
A. r. Taylor, took the stand, hymn
Nearer My God to Thee was sang
with feeling; prayer by brother Jas.
Smith, then scripture reading from
22d Psalme, then after some appro-
pirate words to one and all, then he
reminded the young people of their
grand mothers girlhood days and
also told them to be likeher. Then
it was the desire of one and all to
have a greeting handshake, so from
the oldest down to the little babes all
greeted grand ma. Thus ended this
happy day. Singing "Praise God
from Whom all Blessings Flow"
Benediction by the pastor.

To my Fellow citizens of Lexington
county:
Being q new man, almost strang-
er to majority of my people in my
county, take this method of show
ing to them my appreciation for the

from their hands for County Com
missioner from the Fork. To my
distinguished competitors I entertain
the kindest feeling and as to their
race have only to say. "May the most
worthy win" I do herby extend to
my supporters my heartfelt thanks

A Card.

To the Voters of Lexington County:
No doubt that many Of my friends
observed that I was absent from
some of the recent campaign meet
ings. This was due in part to sick
ness and death in my family and
partly to my being hurt by a run
away team, the effects Of which I am
not yet fully recovered from. Taking
this in consideration and the fact
that the time is 80 very short until
the second election, [ doubt very
much that I shall be able to canvass
the county as I would like to, still I
hope to be able to receive such con-
sideration as you, my fellow citizens,
may see fit to give me. II elected
County Supervisor I shall be free to
discharge my duty as I see fit.
Thanking one and all for the hand
some vote given me in the recent elec-
tion and for their further support, I
am your friend, Geo. A. Shealy.

To the People of Lexington county,
with a heart filled with gratitude, I
desire to express my high spprecia-
ton of the liberal vote that my follow
countrymen gave me in the recent
primary election ano for the uniform
consideration and kindness which I
received at their hands during my
canvass, and I hope to be able in the
future to do some honorable and
valuable service for the citizens of
the county that has so honored and
trusted me as further evidence of
my enduring gratitude and of my
interest in all that pertains to the
welfare of Lexington county and the
State of South Carolina.

Call to See His Stock.

M. L. Kiuard, the old reliable
clothier and furnisher, of Columbia,
informs the readers of the Dispatch,
that he has received his fall and
winter stock of clothing and invites
the people to inspect his stock. MIR.
Kinard is one of the largest dealers
in clothing in the State and his expe-
rience in this line of business extends
through gears and he is therefore a
competent Judge of clothing snd
when he recommends an article it
can be depended upon to be just as
he represents it. When you want a
fashionable suit of good clothes, give
him call.

Family Reunion.

At Bethlehem church, Black creek,

August 13, 1902, at 10 o'clock

The Man to Vote For.

Reference ia asked to the card OF
W. Boyd Evans, candidate for Rail-
road Commissioner. He is too
modest to sing his own praises and
too patriotic to seek to ride into
Office by demanding preferment for
discharging his plain duty, but stand
ing on his merits, he confidently
appeals to the sober minded voter
for his support, pledging himself if
elected to discharge his duty as faith
fully in the future as he has done in
the past.

Appealing to T;llmans

Frantic Efforts Being Made to Get the
Senator to Help the Weak Men,
But He Declines to Respond.
Since the primary last week frantic
appeals have been made to Senator
Tillman by panicky candidates. They
wish to be saved from defeat if it can
possibly be done. They are now will
ling to make any pledges of loyalty
and support to Tillman. But the
senator is just little too astute.
He has been in politics too long to
risk his popularity by attempting at
the last moment to overcome tre-
mendous lead. Then, it is doubtful
if the senator really cares togo to the
rescue. He may fear that his friends,
made too powerful, will attempt to
undermine his castle.
Then, again, so far as the guberna-
torial contest is concerned, it is cred
itably reported that the senator
weeks ago said how the wind was
blowing and picked Heyward as the
winner.
The betting men are Offering big
odds on the leader in this race. A
lead of 5000 votes has never been
overcome in the history of South
Carolina primaries and it probably
never will.

remarks introduced Mr.. Lever, who
made ringing speech, filed with
wholesome advice and patriotic utter

Mosquito Time.
How sweet at balmy eventide
To loiter by the elder bush
And breathe the fragrance Of the flowers
Mid dreams Of never ending-WHOOSH
How restfully the night descends!
Gently her trailing robes enwrap
The weary world in folds Of gloom
Through which the blinking stars are
SLAP!
The moonbeams dance in shimmering
lines
Adown the path themselves begot;
The ripples silver meath their touch
And laugh in ecstasy of-SWAT!
The tallest pine tree on the shore
fain would fell with mighty crash
To make paddle large and long
And that blamed old mosquito-SMASH!

COAL MAY JOIN BEEF
AT INCREASED PRICE
While There Is a Large Supply on
Hand, There Is Stiffeuing in
Local Market.

The threatened strike among the
miners in the soft coal regions Is occa-
sioning the consumers OF that product in
this city considerable uneasiness. Al
ready there is stiffening in the market
and an evident scarcity of bltuminous
coal which will doubtless be followed by
an advance in the price Of the article.
The advance which has already been
made in New York will be followed here
within the next few days. 1t Is thought.
Along the wharves the managers Of the
steamboat lines have been laying In an
abnormal supply and stocking their bins
10 the utmost capacity in preparation for
whatever may come.
On the other ha2d. the managers of
the electrical power plants apparently
are by no means concerned. and express
the opinion that, while there may be
snail advance in the price Of coal. 1t
will cnly be temporary.
There is a good supply OF both soft
and lard coal available In the city at
this time. enough. II Is said. to meet all
OF the demands Of the consumers for
many months to come. or until the fall,
