The Real Pro blem.

We quite agree with The Consti-
tuition that MIR. Roosevelt's fatuous
obstinacy in pressing his negro ideas
upon the country has been an essen
tial sggravation to the recent express
sions of violence and strife which are
so much to be deplored. But behind
the Roosevelt policy; and the aggrava-
ton which it causes, rests the facts
which The Constitution has heretofore
refused to recognize, but which in time
it inevitably must concede, that there
is now and has always been, and will
always be untilit is settled, an evident
and menacing race problem in the
South and in the country. That prob
lem is born in the inherent, instinc-
tive and indestructible prejudice
which exists now, and has always
existed and will always exist, between
opposite and antagonistic races. So
long as they remain together they
will always be in conflict, and not all
the platitudes of statesmen nor the
palaver of politicians nor, alas! the
philanthropies of religion can heal,
this side of the millennium, the dif-
ferences which prevent their happy
and harmonious union under govern
ment. Sooner or later all men who
are brave enough to think must re-
cosnize this, and the turbulence and
the temporizing of present policies
will be melted in the heat and cruel
bic of trial until they pass into one
brave and bold solution which alone
can give US unity, purity and peace
in the republic.

Perhaps oneof the saddest deaths
that has occurred in this community

Baylis, eldest son OF L. d. and A. 0.
Boozer. This excellent young man
was born October 30th, 1868, and
died at his home, near here, July l3,
1908, after 3 long and painful illness,
at the age Of "a years, 8 months and
II days. The subject of this sketch
was young man of quiet and steady
habits, and of ofunassuming disposition.
He was the possessor Of high char
acter, strict integrity, and enjoyed
the confidence, love and esteem OF the
entire community wherein he was
born, lived and died. At one time
he conducted merchsntile business
in this town in connection with MIR.
James s. Boozer, but retired on &C.
count Of failing health, and returned
to his farm.
The funeral services were held at
the homestead and were conducted
by Rev. W. D. Quick, who was as
sisted at the grave by Revs. W. E.

Whom It May Concern.

The Eureka Feather Company, OF
Winston, N. c., has located it's ma
chinery in Lexington, S. G, for the
purpose of cleansing and disinfect-
ing feathers. These men have i'm
pressed me as being honest, faithful
workers. At their solicitation, [
have visited and examined their work
while in operation. I pronounce it
first class in every particular. Feath-
ers ought not to be used as bed to
sleep on, but they are regarded as
one of the luxuries Of life, therefore,
people are loath to dismiss them tor
bed purposes. Feathers ought to be
clesnsed and disinfected every four
years in order that persons sleeping
thereon will not run the risk OF in.
curing malignant diseases which
they, in their unclean condition, are
so capable and potent in instituting.
To visit this work and see what
morbid material is eliminated from
the feathers, while in process
of cleaning, will furnish sufficient
proof of the utility and necessity OF
having feathers cleansed and disin-
fected, especially those that are in
constant use. From these state
ments, coming personally from me,
the inordinately suspecting, may infer
that I have some material interest in
this work. I have none. My state
ments are recommendations for this
work and a general interest in the
welfare of the human family.
Respectfully,
No Hendrix, NJ. D.

Prosperous Farmers.

During q ride one day last week
along the Wyse's ferry road, which
winds through fertile and beauti-
ful stretch of country known as the
Providence section, We were much
pleased to notice that the Industrious
farmers in that section have no just
cause to complain Of the condition OF
their crops. Farm life has active
and picturesque appearance in that
settlement. Their crops of corn,
cotton, peas, etc, are in very fair con-
dition and we'll advanced. We no.
ticed also an abundance of peaches;
apples and other delicious fruits. The
sight made our mouth run water and
we were almost tempted to violate
that commandment which says thou
shall not steal. We resisted the
temptation, however, only by driving
from that vicinity as fast as our horse
could carry US. Again we noticed
fine cattle, sheep, horses, mules and
hogs. The people living in that Sec
tion are industrious and thrifty far m.
ers, having ideal country homes and
model farms. They are ell good
livers aud make plenty of supplies
for home consumption. This com.
munity is composed of such we'll
known farmers as S. M. Gross. Al
Meetze, George R. Fields, Thomas
L. Harmsn, J. Sol. Roberts. john
ME Roberts, Ed. Cook, George Har-
man, Job Corley P. B. Harman and
Ruebsn Corley, P. 81. sesy, George
Roberts and others.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
I said that if I did not eat myself
to death at the cue of Harman &
Can't, I would try to write again, 70
If I don't write they will all think
ate myself to death.
The health of this community is
very good at this writing, 80 far as I
know.
The travelling threshsr has passed
through our settlement this week
separating the grain from the straw.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Derrick, of Lex
ington, spent week at Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Shumpert.
Mr.. John T. Kyzer, of this section,
spent the 4sh at Red Bank.
Some of our boys and girls ere
talking of going to the cue of J.
Frye and also to that of Reeder Bros,
at Edmund, on the 18th and 25th.
Crops in this settlement is begin
ing to show up. Soon there will be
plenty of peaches ripe and how we
will feast on pies.
There is revival meeting going on
at Pelion now. We hope that much
good will be done.
Some of our farmers are having
a long battle with General Green.
Don't think they will whip till Jack
Frost comes. Some of them have
done laid by.
1t is coming time for the hack and
puller to leave from the forest and
then we can hear the sound of the
axman.
"Woodmsr! Woodmap! spare that
tree and I'll protect it now"
I believe that the watermelon
crop will be short in this part.
Mr.. J. O. .Spradley has about the
finest corn crop in this community.
Mr.. J. G. Dunbar is curing his
second barn of tobacco. Look out
Jim, I am coming for smoke:
MIR. Editor, I think that if Bob
White could talk they would certain
ly give you praise for publishing the
bird law. This cffsnds some, but
they know they are guilty.
Messrs. Virgal Gunter and Marshal
Berry have recently lost their COWS.
Girls, by all signs that new buggy
has come and probably you have
taken ride before this reaches you,
but be all good cheer, thy trials will
soon be over.
Some of our old soldiers are talk
ing of going to Leesville on the 18th.

Not Dead.

We are glad to be able to inform
our readers that the Lexington
Power Company is by no means a
corpse. It is only sleeping for the
present by reason of a lack OF appre-
citation of the benefits to accrue from
it's success by some of the interested
citizens of Lexington county.
This is; perhaps, the most import
ant financial undertaking that has
been launched in this county and one
that promises 80 much in the develop
ment of the varied industrial interests
of the county.

General Staff for Navy.

Washington, April S.-For the en-
lightenment of those interested in the
proposition to establish general staff
for the navy, prominent members of
the general board have drawn up the
following axiom, which sets forth the
general object for which the general
staff is to be organized:
"A great organization like the navy
should be based on such an efficient
system that a strong secretary can do
the greatest amount of good: weak
secretary the least amount of harm,
and that when the secretary is absent
the machinery may not be interfered
With
This axiom will be submitted to Sec
rotary Moody when he returns to Wash
ington this month. The secretary car
ried with him on his trip to the West
Indies the details of the general staff
proposition, and 1t is expected he will
commit himself in regard to the advis-
ability Of adopting such scheme.
which will involve reorganization, when
he returns from his trip.

Very respectfully yours,

a(,hairpoan Executive Committee

| "Chairman Executive Committee"
| All these suspended members live in
| Washington and the names of some of
them are among the most distinguished
on the roster. They decline to discuss
| the action of the executive committee,
but some are inclined to take no notice
| of it other than to deny the authority
of the committee.
| The immediate cause of this action
| is said to be the memorial to congress
| signed by these members last winter.
| On Jan. 90 General John NJ. Wilson,
vice president of the National Red
Cross, presented to congress a mem
| orial reciting certain differences which
| had arisen in the association regarding
| the management of it's affairs. lnclud-
| ed in the papers submitted was letter
| from Secretary Cortelyou addressed to
Miss Clara Barton, in which he said
| that, according to the bylaws of the
association. the president and his cab
met were constituted board of consul
tation of the American Red Cross. Mr.
Cortelyou said it would be impossible
for President Roosevelt and his cab
met to serve in that capacity and re-
quested that public announcement of
that fact be made.
The friends of Miss Barton COM
planned of the memorial sent to con-
gress and Miss Barton sent a letter to
President Roosevelt in which she eX-
planned her position. There has been
spirited correspondence between the
two factions of the organization for
several months and the trouble has
been brought to head by the action
of the executive committee.
The contest is between the friends
and opponents of Miss Barton.
