To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The cue furnished here last Satur.
day was we'll attended by both citi-
zens and candidates. County Chair
man Towill, of Batesburg, was
present and called the crowd to-
gether at Ills o'clock. The first
speaker introduced was DR.. Ether
edge for the Legislature. The Doctor
said as this was only q skirmish
meeting he would not enter into q
discussion of any issue, but would
pitch his platform IS the opening of
the csopaign on July 20. During
his talk he laid special stress on the
educating of sll classes OF white
men; objected to negro education on
the grounds that nine-tenths OF our
eolored prisoners are, more or less,
educated; favored the cleaning up OF

The Summer School for teachers
will open at this place on July 18th
with Prof. J. R. T. Major, Principal
and W. D. Schoenberg, Assistant.
This is an excellent faculty and one
that should be encouraged by a large
attendance of the teachers OF the
county. This school will only con-
time for two weeks unless there is
an attendance Of over twenty teach
ers, otherwise it will continue for
four weeks. This being the case
every teacher should make it point
to be present at its opening and re-
main until it closes. These schools
are great help to teachers for they
teach them how to teach, and the
more they understand this art the
more efficient will they become and
the better will be their pay.

We publish IN tde 9Th page OF
this issue collection of compliment
tsry notices from tne newspapers
published in the 9TH Judicial Circuit
in reference to Col. George Bell
Zimmerman and his candidacy tor
the Solicitorship. What has been
said of him has been we'll and truth
fully said, and is a fitting tribute to
a chaste, pure and Christian life.
MIR. Zimmerman is young man
of more than ordinary intelligence
and legal ability. he has had con-
siderable experience in handling
criminal business of the court, having
served instead of Solicitor Thurnond'
as Solicitor during several terms OF
court. MIR. Zimmerman is we'll
equipped by education and talent to
faithfully and acceptsbly discharge
the duties OF the Office to which he's as
pires and the electors in giving him
their support will never regret haV'
ing done so.
He is young man of unimpeach'
able character and of uncomprom's-
ing integrity and will make if elected
a Solicitor in whom the whole Circuit
will feel proud Of. Having cast bis
lot in our midst and taking q lively
interest in our business and social
affsira, he can reasonably expect to
receive the undivided support OF the
Democracy of Lexington County,
which no doubt he will get.

compliment to our people and his
address was well received.
Senator Sharpe was next introduce
ed and talked for a short time with
ease and interest. He said he was
here today merely to pay his re-
spects to Our people, and would fully
and freely discuss all questions per
tainipg to the senatorial race On the
opening Of the campaign. The
Senator was loaded with q variety Of
Jokes and seemed delighted in tell.
ing them.
Mr.. E II. Sbesly, who stands for
the Legislature, was next to take the
peoples attention. He heartily
thanked our people for supporting
him two years ago, and would ap-
preciate that same good support in
the coming primary. He says he
will make clean fight and will hold
on to the finish; has no special prom
ises to make as one man cannot rule
the legislature. At the conclusion OF
Mr.. Shealy's speech the dinner recess
was announced. At 2 p. m. the
meeting was called to order by DR..
D. NJ. Crosson, Col. Towill having
gone away on business. The follow
ing three of the five candidates for
Solicitor we're present and all made
good speeches to attentive listeners:
Geo. Bell Zimmerman, of Lexington,
Geo. r Rembert, of Richland, and
s. MEG. Simpkins, of Edgefeld.
The chief thing they spoke of here
was as to which county the Solicitor
should be chosen from. Some are of
the opinion that some other county
than Edge6eld should furnish the
man for this Office, as they have been
coming from there for the last thirty
years, besides furnishing men for
most of the high Offices of the State,
including United States Senator,
Governor, Judges, etc. Others say
the most competent man should be
chosen regardless of what county in
the Circuit be halls from.
Several candidates came up on the
l:30 train, among them, Congressman
Lever. After the Solicitors were
through, be came forward, needing
no introduction. He had no set
speech for the Gay, as he was here
to see our people and thank them
for their good support and to assure
them of his willingness to serve
them at any time. He touched
lightly on the Importance of thecomipg
general election and urged the peo-
pie to go to the polls ard bring every
available vote into light.
Mr.. D. F. E6rd, who stands for
the Senate, and Messrs. J. B. Win
gard and T. G. Sturkie for the
House, had only short time in
which to express their views, but
assured the people that they would
be here again on our regular CAM
paign day and go in with gloves off
and discuss the issues of the day.
Among the candidates who were
present, but did not speak, We
noticed the following: Samuel B.
George, for Clerk Of Court; P. 81.
Corley, for Sheriff; Frank W. Shealy
for Treasurer; John w. Smith for
Commissioner; John W. Fry for Su.
pervisor; F. P. Shealy and E. H.
Addy for Magistrate-3td District.
None of the candidates were present
who are announced for Auditor and

THE TRUST.
Will Attempt to Advance

Proposition to Raise $4,000, 1000
10 Fight Old Packing Houses is
Endorsed.

Western stockmen, who arr. suffering
low prices as result Of the packing
house combination, are determined TO
end the sway Of that gigantic trust.
AT the recent live stock convention
held at Portland, Oregon, the PROPOSE
ton to incorporate company of live
stockmen tor the purpose OF establish
ing independent packing houses in the
stock center Of the country, TO compete
with the packer combine and restore
prices on live stock, was an all-absorb-
ing topic of discussion. BY unanimous
vote the conventloA indorsed n resolu-
ton favering the Incorporation of such
a company and the establishment of
the independent houses. Steps will
now be taken to raise stock subseript-
ions to the amount of S5, ,o00, 900 for the
purpose of capltalizing the corporation
and placing 1t upon a financial footing
to proceed with the work Of establish
ing plants for the purpose outlined in
the discussion.
The idea of the stockmen is 10 have
a corporation composed entirely OF
livestock iaisers, who shall be share
holders in the company and directors
of its business affairs. The plants of
this company are to compete with the
combination plants, giving the produc-
er better price for his stock and main
taining reasonable prices to the con-
sumner. In turn, these independent
packing houses are to be supported by
the livestock raisers against the COM
bination.
Now that the association has indors-
ed the plan. which is entirely separate
from the organization, the matter OF
interesting livestock men in the pro
ject and of securing subscriptions To
raise the necessary capital will be
placed in the hands Of committees to
be appointed for that purpose in the

A Thriving Town.

sam Oohn, who has just returned
from Fallon, furnishes the Carson News
with the following: Fallon is the coun-
ty seat of Churchill county, and recent
ly has enjoyed great boom, owing to
the discovery of mines In the vicinity,
the work of building a great irrigation
canal by the government, and the de-
veloment of its natural resources.
A few months ago it was only very,
very slow hamlet, which barely was
able to retain its title by reason OF the
fact that it had postoffice. Now IT is
one of the thriving towns of
we tern Nevada. New buildings have
gone up by the score, aud more than
one brick Is in progress, o construction.
AS usual in new places the number of
saloons is quite commensurate with the
development of other attractions. aud
Fallon can be said to have its share,
and they are all prospering In the free
and easy, prosperous atmosphere oi
the new settlement.

CHURCHILL BOOMING.

Lieutenant Governor Allen was IN
Reno yesterday, says the Journal. He
reports that Churchill county, the
central point of the great irrigation
plan, has become one of the most active
portions of the State within the past
year. Fallon, the county seat, has
grown from Village of few houses to
a prosperous town. The work on the
canal has stimulated the entire county
and the residents are looking forward
to year of great prosperity. When
the irrigation work is com mpleted the
ranch lands of that section will have
an increased value. The ranchers are
taking up more land rather than look
ing for prospective buyers.
