On account of the short supply Of
cotton and for other reasons, The
Lexington Manufacturing Company
have stopped the night work for the
present. and few hands just now,
are out of work. Many of them.
however, have returned to their
homes, on the farm, preferring the
comforts and freedom there, and to
enjoy such high prices now prevailing,
for he,products of the farm.
New additions and improvements
will be made to the mill at once and
when the machinery is doubled up it
will really be godsend to the night
hands, as most of them will be- en-
ployed at day work, thereby proving
no loss to them but a tremendous
gain in health. It will also allow the
smaller children to attend school
which the parents should not neglect
by any means.

It is said that chairman Mann OF
the Election Committee of the House
indicated that his committee would
report it's findings in the Lever
Dantzler contested election csss TO
the House shortly after the reassem-
bling of Congress.
He did not say what the report
would be, but it is learned definitely
that it will be unanimous ia favor of
seating Lever, though the msjority
report will give the State of South
Carolina a severe castigation on
account of it's election laws. This
case it is thought will give occasion
to considerable discussion by Repub.
licans with logical reasoning in reply
by Democratic members from the
South.

Colds Lead to Catarr1Catarr Leads to Consumption.

Miss I.iilia. of Illinois, started out
exactly in this way. Fortunately, she
took course Of pcruna before it WAS
too late. She mad cau@ ht several colGs,
tnen cough developed. She took all
sorts Of cough medicines, until, as She
puts i, Il s;rkcncd at the sight OF thcm.'
In four weeks PrrunA had cured her OF
her catarrh and her system was entirely
rid of it.
This il what pcruna is doing all the
while. Not ! day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has similar
experience with pc-una.
The first step toward consumption is
catching cold. The next step is 4 failure
to cure it promptly. The third step ls
the development Of catarrh, which grad
ually becomes chronic. The fourth step,
the catar:h begins TO spread from the
head to the throat. The fifth step, the
ca;arrh spreads to the bronchial tuAes
and lungs. 1t then becomes conSump-
ton in its first Sage.
At any time during the progress of the
catarrh, from the first onset OF the cold
to its final settlement in the lungs, Pc
runa can DC relied upon to stop the dis
case. 1t cures entirely. Even after
consumption has become Thoroughly
developed, many cases have found in
| Pcruna a permanent cure. After they
have been given up by Physicians to die
of consumption Pcrlna has cured them.
We have hundreds OF testimonials
that declare these facts in the most
enthusiastic language.
| L. s. Senator John NJ. ThurSton, from
Nebraska, writes the following letter
from Washington, D. c., under date OF
April 6, 1901:
81 have used Peruna at various times
during the past year or two with moss
satisfactory results.
at entirely relieved me from an irri-
tating cough, the result of excessive
effort in the Presidential campaign, and
I am firm believer in its efficacy in
any such troublc."-Jno. N. Thurston.
To take quictinS medicines 10 stop a
| y
way TO stop cough permanently and
without doing more injury than good is
to cure the cat&rrh, which is exactly
what Pcruna does. 1t cures the catar-h
Of the bronchial tubes and the cough
ceases.
At the slightest appearance OF cough
4 bottle OF Pcruna should be taken
according to directions. One bottle in
the beginning will do more than half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use OF Pc-una,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving q
full statement C your case, and he will
be pleased to give You his valuable adj
vice gratis.

The Bulls and Bears have tie
price of cotton bouncing like an India
rubber ball and something like the
greasy pig-"now you see it and
now you don't" Some of our farm
ers have been benefited by the game,
although powerfully opposed to fu-
lures and cotton gambling. The
English cotton trade condemns pres
ent methods and they are heartily
joined by some of our mill men, for
they hardly know "where they are
at" They say international COM
biration to reduce consumption is
one way to help the situation.

together and see what the actual cost
of putting in such fixtures would be.
And, if possible, take advantage OF
such a scheme that would bring forth
words Of praise for the Council and
Mr.. Roof, from every good citizen in
Lexington. For the decrease in the
insurance rate would make every
business man and property owner
feel that be had been benefited,
while the town authorities would
save the expense of keeping up the
old lamps and buying oil for them'
which We learn is no small sum for
they consume six barrels year.
To some this may seem too large
an undertaking and one that is un-
called for, but if they will only look
at this proposition in the right way
ehey will have to agree that 1t would
be good thing for Lexington, and
what helps Lexington helps Lexlng-
toms citizens. We earnestly hope
that the citizens and Council will &C.
riously consider this scheme and by
cooperation and push, put it III
operation.

LET US MOVE.

NJ ASAtuSs 9ofi oA Noo&o - N"
question was asked of any citizen OF
Lexington or any stranger who was
fapiliar with the place q few years
past, and has seen its growth and
improvement in the tast few years,
he would certainly answer in the at
fcmative. Sill there are many
things that Lexington yet needs.
WY not get together and make it
one of the most attractive, up-to-
date towns in the State. It can be
done with jast little push, zeal and
cooperation fcom our representative
business men and citizers.
The town has quite recently re-
ceived new city charter and elected
a new Council composed of some of
our best citizens, who are good bus,
mess men and have the welfare and
future growth of our town at heart
Tney are all property owners and
some of them are connected with va
rions enterprises in the town. There
fore it naturally foaews that besides
mere desire to give successful
municipal administration they would
like to see Lexington thriving
town and permanently benefited.
Then the question presents itself.
What is the tirst thing to be done !
We will answer by saying first, let
is have some provision made for our
natural protection against FIRE. As
it is now, with go many frame build
ings in the business portion of town,
it is extremely dangerous and makes
the. rate of insurance so high that
it is quite an item on the expense
account. A heard a merchant re-
mark, he could borrow money at the
rate he was paying for insurance.
Aad by little work We can arrange
to have all this trouble and expense
rectifed.
Mr. W. P. Roof, President of the
Lexington Manufacturing Company
is preparing to put in fire pump at
the cotton mill for the protection of
that place. Also he is making ar
rangements to have new dynamo put
ssn for lighting the mill. Why not let
she town authorities join in with
Mr. Roof and by little extra expen-
diturs of money have hydrants put up
in town and furnished from this same
pump at the mill. And by paying a
little more and getting a larger dy.
nsr,o, run the wires up town and
sasve the streets, residences, Offices
and business places lighted by elec-
tricisy.
We believe that Mr.. Roof will
agree to have the town join with
him in such an undertaking be-
cause it would be for the welfare of
the town and it's citizens and Mr..
Roof hss always co operated heartily
whenever there was public benefit
TO b derived. As it has been thor
oughly demonstrated time after time
that Lexington has been greatly
benefited by having Mr.. W. P. Roof
as one OF her most loyal and public
spirited citizens.
It has been claimed and calcula-
tions made, by an experienced man,
that with a little more power In
DYNAMO and wafer pump the entire
town can be furnished with electric
lights and water works from the
Lexington Manufacturing Company,
without any serious difficulty or any
enormous expenditure Of money, and
il seems to Us that the Council and
officers of this Company should get
