The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1903-11-04

In the State elections yesterday
Kentucky re elected Governor Beck
ham; Virginia shows up we'll for
democracy, making a pretty clean
sweep; Pennsylvania stays republi-
CAP; New Jersey is in the same column:
Massachusetts, of course, holds the
fort for republicsnism. Things seem
doubtful in Colorado. 1t is claimed
that Maryland will join the democ'
racy. Rhode Island stays demo-
cratic. Mississippi made a clean
sweep for democracy. The republi-
cans in Ohio broke the record and
they hold the fort by large ma jori-
ties. Tom johnson was not in it.
Unexpectedly, though with the
excellent management of Chas. F.
Murphy, the leader Of Tammany,
with nearly all the newspapers and
the ministers practically against
them, George B. Mcclellan, was
yesterday elected Mayor of Greater
New York over Seth Low, present
Mayor, by 10000 plurality. Nc
Clelland is quoted al saying, this
victory should encourage and unite
all democrats for the Presidential
contest in 1904.
In the State elections of Kentucky
and Tennessee yesterday several
prominent men we're killed. Some
on account of politics others old
feuds. Both States went Demo
cratic.

IT TONIC is o medicine that gives tone
II to some part of the system. There
are different kinds of tonics, but
the tonic most needed IN this country,
where catarrh is SO prevalent, Is a
tonic that operates on the mucous mem
branes.
Perura is a tonic to the mucous mem
branes Of the whole body. It gives tone
to the capillary Giro llation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is q specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is q
tonic that strikes at tho root Of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fbres. Catarrh cannot exist long
! where Peruna is used intelligently.
| Peruna seeks out catarrh In all the hid
den parts Of the body.
Paul Landrum writing from Atlanta,
Ga, says:
""In January last I began the use Of
your Peruna and Manalin for what was
termed organic heart trouble. At that
time I could scarcely walk to my place
of business without stopping to rest and
on arrival felt completely exhausted.
Had severe pains n my heart and general
dizziness. After using the first bottle Of
Perune I began to improve and todayl
feel that T am q sound man and I work
fourteen hours a day without any bad
feeling."-Paul Landrum.
A.. M. Ikcrd, an employee Of the c. 3.
& G. R. R., West Burlington, Ia, writes:
"I had catarrh Of the stomach and
small intestincs for a number Of years.
I went to a number Of doctors and got
no relief. Finally n Of my doctors
sent me to Chicago and I met the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
for me, that I had cancer Of the stomach
and there was no cure. Ialmost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. I could hardly stand it, it YVES
SO offensive. I could not eat anything
without great misery, and I gradually
grew worse.
"Einally I got one Of your books, and
concluded would try Peruna, and thank
God, I found a relief and 8 cure for that
dreadful disease. I TOOK i've bottles Of
Peruna and two Of Manalin, and I now
feel like a new man. There is nothing
better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle
in my house all the ti1ne."-A. M. Ikerd.
If you Go not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to Dr.. Hartman, giving q
full statement Of your case and be will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

the readers of the Dispatch will miss
his crisp and pungent editorials.
MI. Ogilvie himself regretted to
leave Lexington, for during his stay
with us be has made many friends
throughout the county aud endeared
himself to our citizens, but having a
desire to return to his cd home,
among friends and relatives there, he
decided to accept a position with this

able man, still it is our aim and pur-

On Thursday Mr.. F. M. Burr,
representing the Second Assistant
Postmaster General was here CON
ferring with Postmaster Lesphart
regarding the letting Of contracts for
the various Star routes in this county.
Heretofore these routes we're let to
spectators, who afterwards would
sub, let to carriers. By the present
system this service is brought d.
rectly within the reach of each
individual carrier, and they alone
are allowed to bid, and must reside
on or near the route.
MI. Burr called to see us in refer
epce to the above matter. He is a
very pleasant gentlemen, and from
him we learned that it was the
purpose of the department to give
our people the very best service
possible. His idea was that sooner
or later, many of the r. F. Z. routes
would necessarily be discontinued
and the old Star route system with
p~ostofices and free delivery along
the routes would be adopted. In
our next issue We will give a list of
the various routes in the county
with the necessary information for
those wishing to bid.

The State Fair was q greater sue.
cess than yer before. Secretary A.
". Love closed the fair grounds at
the usual hour on Friday and The pay
ment of premiums began promptly.
The exhibitors seemed to be in
specially good humor, on accent OF
the more liberal premium awards
offered this year, and all declared
that they would come again next
year. Of the $4,000 offered in
premiums, about $4,000 were actually
awarded, which shows how much
more complete were the Department.
this year. 1.-The Society,"" said MI.
Love, ''is glad to release this prem
ium money, as the organizations
principal Oh ject is to encourage ex-
hibitors. Lexington county carried
away as usual, a hsnsome sum Of
the proceeds. One of our farm ers
received 1928, another $95, and the
sum total distributed to cur people
amounted to considerable. A neat
sum has been left over, however,
which, together with what remained
Of last years receipts, would form an
encouraging nucleus with which to
meet the expense of getting into new
grounds and buildings next year.
Mr.. Love was not able to give exact
figures IS to the total attendance at
the fair this year, but q rough esti-
mate showed $4,000. The fair was a
grand success in every way and it is
the determination of the association
and officers to make it still greater
next year.
Too much praise cannot be given
to the people of Columbia for the
courtesy and hospitality shown to
visitors at the fair. Everybody
seemed to have a jolly good time and
went away we'll pleased with their
trip. The attractions were Of a
higher class, more varied and better
In every respect than any previous
year. Main street was lined with
shows from tie post Office to the
state house which afforded no small
amount Of amusement to the crowd
of visitors. Every night during the
week there was a good performance
st the Opera house. Thursday night
the State Ball came eff, and was q
success. Friday night was the grand
Carnival parade, which was greatly
enjoyed.
Most of the crowd remained over
Saturday to see Bsrnum & Bailey's
great circus, and it is claimed that
there we're $4,000 people present at
the afternoon performance. It was
q solid week IF merriment and fap,
thoroughly 81 ioyed by the 10000
visitors in Colunbia.

Summer School Notes.

DIR. l. C. Whites lectures in Ge-
ology were greatly appreciated by
all of the Summer School students
who heard them. They all recogniz-
ed that he spoke with authority, and
he made every thing so clear and
plain that his lectures were perfectly
delightful. A good many of the
students have expressed the hope
that he can be induced to deliver his
lectures again next summer.
During the present week every
afternoon at 800 o'clock Miss Girls
void will deliver an address in room
number 13, Woodburn Hall. These
addresses will be Of particular inter
est to teachers, but will be open to
all members of the Summer School.
Miss Griswold has won large place
in the hearts of all the teachers, and
it is certain that the room will be
crowded.
DIR. r. r. Reeder left Saturday for
New York after doing ten days work
here of the most highly satisfactory
character 1t is entirely safe to say
that he is one of the best men for
work in the field of Pedagogy that
West Virginia has ever had the
pleasure of hearing.
Prof. jill. Cox and Miss Griswold,
both OF whom are teaching in the
Summer School, have been engaged
by Supt. Miller to conduct the Mon
ongalia county teachers institute,

HEAP BAD DAGO
With a gun and Razor Subdued
with Difficulty Saturday Night.

Don't Like the American Brand Of
Freedom Offender Accumulated
Two jags In Few Hours Has Paid
$500 In Fines-An0ther Wanted his
Quart-Ihree Plain ones.
Six victims OF good wages ano
bad booze gained an audience with
Mayor McGrew this morning. But
for all this police court was very
tame. The Mayor did all the talk
ing and there wasn't much to be
done. The delegation from the Bias
tiledid the paying.
One sadeyed son of Sunny Italy
with complexion like the Monon-
gahela river after a rain, was the
only rcyeler who had done anything
out of the ordinary. 1t dawned ON
him Saturday evening after he got
his wages that America was the
land of freedom. Freedom to him
meant the glorious privilege OF get
ting hilariously and dangerously
drunk, with no one to hinder or say
him nay He s.armed himself with a
razor and a big revolver and began
to fill up. Policeman Frank Canoe
came along in time to sec him
struggling with lot of his country
men were trying to suhdue him.
The officer relieved them of the
responsibility. The Italians were
not satisfied with this arrangement,
any one of them tried to stop the
arrest Canoe landed on the fellow
for clean knockout, and took the
man with the razor and gun to jail.
He was fined $1460. He had the
money.
Another old friend of Morgantown
Mayors was able to accumulate two
$3.50 DRINKS between six o'clock
Saturday evening and midnight.
He was fined 1920. He paid SIS OF
this down and promised to come
back and liquldate the rest. The
Mayor let him go. He always pays.
BY ways of statistical information,
he stated that he had paid over 5000
into the city treasury for about
thirty cents worth of fun.
Another old offender was charged
With being drunk. He confessed
and was fined $500. The officers
had taken quart of good whiskey
from him and a razor. The whiskey
cost him $3.50 in Fairmont, he said,
and he needed 1t in his business
The officers had poured it in the
sink however and he went away heart
broken. He got his razor, but it
was no comfort to him.
In addition to these, there were
three plain DRINKS who paid $500
each.

B. AND 0. BUSY.
Chief Engineer Sisson Moves
Principal Office Here.

Will Continue Survey on Ii. j. D. Line
to Observation-Disclosures of Cost of
Construction to be Made-IBig Camp
of Surveyors at Work in the Field at
Easton.
Mr.. w. L. Sisson, chief engineer on
the B. and O. railroad in this state
has removed his principal office from
Martinsburg to this place. He has
rented commodious room on the first
floor Of the Post Office building,
where work Oh the proposed branch of
the B. and O. road from here to Con-
fiuence will be carried on. Mr.. Sisson
has moved his family here, has rented
house, and expects to be employed
here for some time, probably year,
or longer.
A camp of railroad engineers pitch
ed their tents at Easton Saturday, and
are doing field work sn the survey to
Confluence. They are working both
ways, east and west, from Easton.
A preliminary survey has already
been made over this route, and it has
been found a difficult one over which
to build railroad. 1t is the object
of the present activity to make more
complete survey, with estimates OF
cost of construction, add il the road
is found to be practicable, it may be
built.
Mr.. Ssson states that there are
plenty Of resources for business along
this route, but whether they are suffi-
cient to pay for building the road is
to be determined later.
There are six tents and about fifteen
men, with colored cook in the camp
at Easton. Nearly half the young
men are from the vicinity OF Martins
burg.
In connection with the proposed
improvement on the b. and o. rail
road it is interesting to note that re-
port is current in regard to the new
freight depot. 1t is said that as soon
as the construction force on this diyi-
sion can be Increased to forty men, q
squad will be put to work to grazing
on the sidings for the new freight de-
pot up near the cattle pens. Now II
anybody can tell when the requisite
number of workers will be employed,
he can begin to make calculation as
to what time we will get better freight
facilities in Morgantown. All things
come to him who waits.
