The Lexington Dispatch
Wednesday, September 2, 1908.
The Way to Look at It.

Editors of newspapers published
in large cities can cit in their Offices
surrounded by great population
and write editorials condemning the
lynching of black brutes who assault
white women, but as the Crowford-
Vile Democrat puts it, the fact is
they do not understand or appreciate
the condition in the rural districts Of
the south. Wives and daughters
are forced daily to go about their
homes unprotected while fathers and
brothers are away in the fields toll
ing for there daily bread. The trif-
ing, impude scoundrel steals up to
the unprotected home and with his
polluted touch despoils the sacred
ness of once happy home. And to
attempt to wipe out such crime by
the life of ;he fend by strong hands
is one of the first duties of southern
manhood. Yes, we say it with out
hesitation and with full knowledge
of the meaning of these words, that
the brute should be given no quarter
and when he has paid the penalty,
placard his dirty carcass with the
sworn face that 'sthus shall the sacred.
ness of our homes be protected
spsinst fiends incarnated." Preachers
may preach and writer's may waste till
the end of time, but the inevitable
truth remains that just so long as
assaults continue just 30 long will
lynchings prevail. The virtue of one
pure white girl is worth more to human
kind than all the lives of the black
brutes who have lived since the world
began. In writing what We have about
this matter we want it distintly under
stood that it is not through ''race
yreiudice." We have the utmost
respect for the law.abiding and ener'
getic colored man. We hope to be
Of service to him in bettering his
condition. He is here through no
fault of his, and we would ever
assist him in being happier and more
contented with his lot.

the Richmond hospital. The hospital
was crowded with sick and drying
soldiers, and the Richmond ladies
visited it daily, carrying with them
delicacies of every kind, and did all
they could to cheer and comfort the
suffering. On ore occasion a pretty
miss of sixteen was distributing
fowers;and speaking gentle words of
encouragement to those around her,
when she overheard a soldier exclaim,
"Oh, my Lord" It was Bill Arp.
Stepping to his bedside to rebuke
him for his profanity, she remarked:
ssDidu't I hear you call upon the
name of the Lord? I am one of his
daughters. Is there anything I can
ask Him for your
Looking up into her bright, sweet
face, Bill replied: II don't know but
you could do something for me if [
wasn't married"
"Well," said she, "what is liz"
Raising his eyes to hers and e1-
tending his hard, he said: ''As you
are a. daughter Of the Lord, if I
wasn't married, I'D get you to ask
Him if He wouldn't make me His
son-in-law."
Major Andrews, Yankee captain,
was telling some jolly rebs in Geor-
gia about his experience at Bull Run.
"The only time that I ever really
felt ashamed in my life was in that
Bull Run battle" said the ma ior.
My horse fell under me, and I was
obliged to ride an army mule during
the rest of the engagement, and he
finally carried me clear into the
rebel lines"
Eyes, I remember the incident
WE'LL" said Bill Arp, who was stand
ing by, II found that mule. with q
q. S. brand on him the next Gay after
the battle"
"You did, really?" said the major,
hardly expecting to be corroborated
so promptly. "Where did you find
hims" asked the sjor.
Bill saw that there was no door
wide open as he replied, ''Stone dead
behind q rail fence"
"Shot?"

Tobacco Men Despondent.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 26 Tobacco
men here throughout the State are
predicting that the crop next year
will be smaller than any grown for
come years past. Their opinion is
based on the ground that the farmers
have come to the conclusion that
prices will be poor, owing to the lack
of competition for the weed. They
see that the American company and
the companies allied with it will not
buy in competition with the Imperial
company because they use different
grades OF tobacco, and therefore there
will be no competition to send the
prices up.
Tobacco growers take deepond-
ent view of the future outlook, owing
to the monopoly Of the market
secured by the trusts, and it is prob
able that more AID more of them will
turn attention to other crops. In
some sections of Virginia, where IL
recent years tobacco was the staple
crop, very little of it is grown, and
farmers are paying all attention to
corn and other grain crops.

A Purgative Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Risers for biliousness or con-
stipation you know what purgative
pleasure is. These famous little
pills cleanse the liver and rid the
system of all bile without producing
unpleasant effects. They do not
grippe, sicken or weaken, but give
tone and strength to the tissues and
organs involved. W. H. Howell, OF
Houston, Tex, says ''No better pill

In the "Kings of Platform and

ing breezy introduction, rehearsing
some interesting stories of Bill Arp

The whole life of Bill Arp has
been humorous and no man will stop
work quicker and more cheerfully

myself, but I killed about as many
of them IS they did of me-"
Speaking of pensions one day, Mr..
Arp said every Yankee soldier ought
