A Bean sociab able.

This name is not misleading but
will characterize the program of So
cial gathering at the home of Mr.. B.
D. Clark, Friday evening, the 9th.
The program will be varied and in
teresting. The local talent will en-
tertain the audience with "song and
story'' of beans. Games which intro
duce the festive bean will be in order.
The matrons will not forget that the
bean suggests hunger and will furnish
refreshments consisting of ice cream,
cake, oysters, etc.
This entertainment is given by the
local school improvement association.
The said association asks the sup
port of public patronage and extends
a most cordial invitation to all. The
immediate work of the association
will be to furnish the Palmetto Cole
giate Institute with modern equip
ments.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Already we speak of 'last summer, "
for autumn is here in all it's golden
glory. The light frosts these cool
m ornings; the harvested corn fields,
and acres of snowy cotton are all tell
ing it. The merchants and milliners
are telling it in the display of their
fall and winter goods, and everybody
is getting clothes and hats.
Last Friday and Saturday Mrs. Hut
to and Miss Salie Rast, each, held
their fall millinery openings. Miss
Carroll and Mrs. Bowers, both of Bal
timore, are the artistic trimmers and
designers in charge Of these depart
ments in these two popular stores.
Both openings were we'll attended,
and many wonderful and beautiful
hats were on exhibition.
Misses Efie and Lizzie Nash, of Co.
lumbia, were the attractive guests of
Miss Sallie Rast Sunday.
After several weeks stay in the up
per part of the county, Mrs. William
Lybrand and daughter, Miss Azalee,
are at home.
Miss Ila Steadman, of Denmark,
has been a welcome visitor in town
recently.
g Several of our boys and girls have
left for school. Among them are:
Miss Aline Oliver, for Washington
Seminary, Atlanta; Miss Blanche
Brooker, for Greenville Female COL
lege, and Messrs. Will Courtney, Earle
Williams and Ryan Rucker for South
Carolina Co-Educational Institute,
Edgefeld.
DR.. J. r. Langford left this morn
ing to be present at the meeting Of
the county physicians and surgeons
at Lexington to-day.
The friends of Mr.. J. L. B. Rast,
now of the Capitol city, were glad to
see him in town Sunday.
Miss Maude Kelly visited relatives
at Livingston last weekend.
. Mrs. Elijah Burnett is enjoying a
visit from her mother, Mrs. Kelley.
After a two months visit to rela-
tives, Mr.. w. Allen Martin has re-
turned to his work in Bizbee, Ariz.
Mr.. Martin is a Swansea boy who has
made good in the great West. AS
this was his first visit to his native
town since leaving ten years ago, his
friends were justly glad to see him.
The new bank building is nearing
completion. When finished it will
present very neat and attractive ap-
pearance.

Let Every Democrat Vote.

The Republicans have nominated a
candidate against Lever in this con-
pressional district, and we want to
impress upon every Democrat in the
district the necessity of his voting in
the general election. Should the Re-
publicans have only small majority
they would not hesitate to unseat
some Democrat members. Let US
give Lever such a vote that they will
have no excuse to turn him out.-Or-

To the above The Dispatch wishes
to add it's hearty endorsement.

Facts fer Taxpayers.

County Auditor Dent completed his
abstract of property values in this
county on October 1st.
- When we consider the fact that
something like $1,000 acres of land to-
gether with the personal property ag-
gregat1ng s1oO, 600 of taxable property
was voted from this county in the
formation Of Calhoun county, we con-
pratulste Auditor Dent on the fine
showing he has made. The figures
from his abstract are not only interest
ing but show conelusively that the
property of this county is gradually
increasing.
There is not a. question of doubt but
that the valuation of personal property
on thepart of many, should be greater
but it must be borne in mind that it is
somewhat difficult to get all the prop
erty values listed. Inmany instances
the value of household and other
property ls pltltully small, tnls, IL can
be said is no fault of the Auditor, as
it is not supposed for him to person
ally inspect every home, but the mat
ter is usually left to the honesty OF
the taxpayer to properly return his
holdings.
The figures of the abstract as shown
by the Auditors books for 1907 gives
a total valuation of $5,335.72s, while
for the fiscal year 1908, the total val
uation is S., ,299. 100, the decrease being
LARGELY due to that portion of the
county that voted into Calhoun, and
a slight reduction in the taxable val.

The prevalency of crime in this
State is simply horrible to think
about. Not day passes but what
we see reports of the taking Of human
life. The number of assassinations in
South Carolina is growing larger. 1t
was only few days ago that young
Reeves, of Dorchester county, was
brutally shot to death by an unknown
party while returning to his home in
a two-horse wagon from field where
he had gone to weigh up cotton. SO
far the murderer has not been cap
tured. We have had many more
such crimes that are still fresh in the
minds Of the people.
What is the remedy? If an arrest
is made in such, the record show that
in nine cases out of ten the accused is
set free by a jury. This being the
case, we have reached the point that
when a man gets something against
his neighbor, his first thought is to
murder him by the roadside and es-
cape to the woods, leaving only cir
cumstances to tell the tale. The man
who has murder in his heart takes
this course, because it is the only av-
enue of escape. The people have re-
allied that the only way to check it
is by conYicting the guilty, and, hap
PLY, the number of convictions in
this State during the last year has
been above the average. But the
cowardly assassin always escapes
punishment. and until the jurors be-
gin to convict in such cases, the num-
ber of assassinations will continue to
increase and no mans life will be
safe. The situation is appalling.

Letter to Dr. James Harrnan.
Lexington S. O..


Dear Sir: One of the ways to get
rich is to make quarter look like
thirty cents.
There's a better: make it thirty
cents. It has this advantage: one
keeps out of jail.
There are 200 paint manufacturers
making quarters look like &c 40 SO 60
cents and all the odd cents between.
That is, their ''paints" profess to be
paints; and they are, in about the pro-
portions named: they get 80 to so cents
for a quarter's-worth ;some get rs.
There's better way to paint: Devoe.
There are eight honest paints. By
''honest'', we mean not-adulterated
and full-measure. These honest ones
differ; no two are alike. In one, the
quarter is worth 81 or % cents; in an
other, 80 cents; there must be a best
one in eight; it is the one that takes
least gallons to cover a job-Devoe.
To cover; that seems light way to
speak of paint. No, it isn't. That
is what paints for: to cover. 1t means
to hide and protect. The paint that
goes furthest is best, wears longest.
Go-far is all; and Devoe is the go-far
paint.
Yours truly,
6s F. w. Devoe & Co.

Her Mind Weakened.
Wilhelmina shared in the same
rough work that occupied her hus-
band. Like Il Diana she looked as
she started forth with fishing rod
for fish was the only kind of flesh
diet which the colony furnished.
A year or so of this very primitive
life began to tell on the health of the
young woman. who had led such n
hectic existence. She grew too wild.
and her mind became slightly unbal-
anced. The former archdukc became
disguised with the simple life when
he looked at the reflection of his dir.
ty and unkempt hair in the mountain
pool. He baked at the nuts. and
ycarned for the feshpots OF Vienna.
He urged his Eve to come away from
the colony with him. IL is said. but
she refused because she imagined
that she loved the life and was halt
mad. Then he deserted her. went
away and obtained a divorce from he''
on the ground that she did not per.
form her conjueal duties. After this
event she became rapidly worse. and
now she has gone ravng mad, as al
ready described.
This occurrence swels the list of
the tragic and extraordinary events
that have occurred in the family of
the aged Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria. Long ago his brother Max
imilian was shot by the Mcxicans, on
whom he had been foisted as Emper-
or. His only son, Rudolph. was killed
and battered out of human semblance
by the relatives of the girl he had
wronged His wife was murdered by
an anarchist. His oldest nephew and
heir married an unpopular woman
not of royal rank. and thereby en-
danecred the family hold upon the
throne. One nephew. the Archduke
John, became common sailor. won't
away to sea and was never heard OF
again. His cousin. the Grown Prin
cess OF Saxony. ran away from her
husband and scandalized tho world
by her many adventures with men.
