oitr Court of Selma.

The City Court of Selma convened this morning with Judge G. w. Mabry pre- siding. and began the trial of civil causes with jury. After the juries had been em- panelied, the court issued orders contin- uing several causes and began the trial of the suit of Bloch against Smith. The suit is brought to recover $152 alleged to be due to the plaintiff from the defend ant. The plaintiff asserts that both he and Smith advanced money to a negro and that Smith, who was landlord to the negro. seized a lot of cotton to satisy his claim. Plaintiff alleges that the cotton seized by the defendant was more than sufHcient to satisfy the claim of defend ant and that the overplus could have been given to the plaintiff. The trial was not ended when court adjourned.

Better Road or a Change.

a call meeting of the citizens OF
Sandy Run, Lexington county, S. G,
was held at the Red Store, on the
9th of August, 1903. The meeting
was called to order by MIR. Lee
Muller. Messrs. J. A. Wolfe was
elected chairman and A. H. Wolfe
secretary. The object Of the meeting
was explained by the chairman, that
is, to elect committee to meet the
Supervisor, County Commissioners
and other citizens at Congaree creek
bridge, on State road, at 10 a. m, on
Saturday next, to consult and devise
some way of putting the State road
through Hsughabook swamp in a
passable way for travelling, or change
the road for better one.
It was moved and adopted that
q comnitte of three be elected for
said purpose. The following were
elected: Messrs. T. M. Nelson, j. A
Wolfe and Lee Muller. The follow
ing resolutions were then offered and
adopted:
l. That it is the sense OF this
meeting that competent surveyor
be employed to survey and ascertain
the cost of repairing the present road
and the cost of opening up a new
road around the swamp, and as to
which would give the best permanent
road bed.
2. That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the Supervisor, the Com
missioner and the Road Overseers on
that part of the road deserve the
condemnation and censure of the
people of this community for the
manner in which they have neglected
the working of said road; our main
market road, leading from this place
to the city of Columbia, also being
our only public highway to the
county seat.
3. That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Lexing'
ton Dispatch, and when we adjourn
we adjourn to meet at 4 p NJ, on
Friday, the 4th day Of September
next to receive the report of said
committee.

Young P |antS

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because Of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

A. Word to Lexington Teachers.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the Editor OF the Dlspatcn:
Having had the privilege Of teach
ing for the past two years in the
Lexington county summer school, L
feel as if I knew we'll the public
school teachers of your county. In
the last number of your paper ap-
pears a tabulsted list giving the
grades attained in various studies
during the late session of the school.
The publication of this list has
prompted me to ask you for space
to address few words to the Lex
ington teachers. I shall con6ne my
remarks to subjects taught by myself
in the school last month.
First, I wish to say that it is suc-
prising how many teachers or would
be teachers attained low grades in
composition and United States
history. In most cases this was not
due, I believe, to any lack of earnest
ness on the part Of the teacher-pupils.
Almost all attending the school
worked faithfully and diligently dur
ing the entire session. I feel sure
that the reason why several failed on
these subjects is because OF the fact
that the studies are not given proper
attention in the schools of the county.
No child has even the foundations OF
a good "schooling" who cannot ex-
press his own thoughts correctly in
writing. This should be the most
important subject in public school
course. Then no boy or girl is fitted
to be an American citizen who does
not know something Of his country's
history. Let me beg of the teachers
of Lexington and all other counties
not to neglect these two studies.
You may understand them we'll your
self; see that your pupil does like
wise.
Again, while I do not know what
action the County Board OF Educa'
tion has taken, I suppose that some
who attended the school regularly
perhaps failed to get certificates or
renewal of certificates to teach. I
have no doubt Chat these young men
and women feel discouraged. They
probably made some sacrifices to
attend the school, worked hard dur
ing the session, and after all failed
to obtain what they were working
for.
If a boy or girl at school should
have this experience, he would be
disheartened. I do not think teach
ers should feel exactly the same way.
The boy or girl is placed in the class
for which he is prepared and is ex.
pected to keep up with his fellows
But if any teacher has failed, it is
probably due to lack of sufficient
preparation before the Summer
School began. That teacher is not
fitted to teach yet; perhaps year
more as a pupil in good school will
be sufficient. Some people who wish
to teach have more ambition thar
preparation.
What I have had to say concerns
only those few who have not beer
successful. Most OF the Lexington
teachers do not need such encourage
ment. As We stated to the schoo
the work done this year was 1in the
main very satisfactory to the instruc
tors. In number of teachers attend
ing, interest shown, and earnestnesE
of work, I think Lexington will com
pare favorsbly with almost ali othel
counties in the State.

Good Cotton Market.

1t should be remembered by plan
tiers that Lexington is one OF the
best cotton markets in the State.
This has been demonstrated on more
than one occasion. The highest
market prices can always be obtain
here for cotton and grain. This is
an indisputable fact. When you want
the best prices for your produce
bring it to Lexington.
