For Deleeate at Large.

It is little early to make nomina-
tions for the electoral delegates to be
chosen by the coming State Demo
cratic convention, but it is positive
fact that the convention will send an
instructed delegation for Bryan. In
view of this fact, it seems fitting that
delegates should be chosen with some
regard to the support they have given
{ Mr. Bryan. Among those consplcu-
Gus for their loyalty is Capt. w. -:
Gonzales, editor of The State, and
The Index here and now places him
In nomination as one of the four dele
gates at large from this State to the
national Democratic convention
which is to meet July 7tb, at Denver,
Colorado. -,
q Capt. Gonzales would reflect credit
upon his party and State.-GreenWood
Index.
The Dispatch wishes to be among
the first of the many to heartily en-
dorse the above. Capt. Gonzales is q
true blue Democrat and would indeed
be power in the convention. He
stands for all that is high and noble
and his efforts to lupbuild the State he
so proudly loves have been of such a
character, as to command the respect
of all true Carolinians. We would be
glad to see the honor thus bestowed,
for it is safe to say that Capt. Con
Szales would stand foremost among
that august body of Democrats.

conventions fol April 4, and the pre-

main reason for the meeting, although
one or two other resolutions introduc-
ed were discussed. Atthe precinct or

ed to the county conventions and
when the county conventions are as

Letter to Jesse .. Taylor,
Lexington, S. G..

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of
paint; one to sell and make money,
the other to paint and save money.
Who gets the money? The maker,
the seller, the painter.
Where does it come-from? The
owner, of course; he pays the painter
for doing the work, and the dealer
for gallons of paint; and he pays the
paint-manufacturer, gallons again
more gallons, more money all round :
for the owner to pay to the painter
dealer and paint-manufacturer.
What's the paint that saves money?
Gallons again; less gallons, less mon
ey for paint, less money for wages; a
gallon of paint is S. for wages and
paint. Less gallons, less money to
pay, S. a gallons.
Two sorts of paint: less gallons and
more: less money and more: So gal
lon difference: two to one in gallons
and money.
1t costs twice as much to paint the
average more-gallons paint as to paint
Devoe. When the people fnd-out, it
may not be quite so easy to sell ex-
travagant paint by callingit Cheap"
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & CO.
P. s. The Kaufman Drug Co., sells
our paint.

The Wreck at Trenton.

Under the above caption the 20
lumbia Record on Saturday published
the following editorial which is so full
of truth that we reproduce the article
in full, hoping that our readers will be
greatly benefited thereby:
Engineer James R. Hubbard lost
his life Wednesday night in railroad
wreck, which occurred at Trenton.
1T was reported that Mr.. Hubbard lost
control of his engine, which crashed
into a freight train-and the end came.
It was young man whose eyes were
closed never again to behold the beau
ty and grandeur of the creation. The
life of a young man was shifted out,
cut down in the full blossom of his
youth, and ali because he lost control
of great power.
'sHe lost control and died instantly.
Assuredly, in his case, the losing of
that control meant.death.
In every instance, to lack the power
of overcoming a great force, means
death. Every man you meet on the
street is living or dying morally or
spiritually. If he lacks the power of
f-possession, if he cannot resist
temptation, if he has not self control,
by which he hopes to be steered out
the pitfalls Of ruin, he will meet the
same fate as did Engineer Hubbard.
'sThe drunkard, the criminal, the
infamous, are all dying day by day.
The drunkard is dying because hepan-
not control his thirst for liquor. The
criminal is dying because he is unable
to check the craving for deeds of wick
edness. And so it is that every man
who is morally weak is dying inch by
inch as time wears on.
s'The account of a terrible wreck
makes US shudder. Human lives were
sent into eternity by a mighty force
over which they had 10 control. But
far more appalling and dreadful is the
solemn fact that far removed from the
dangers of the rail and the sea, in our
homes, safe in a land of plenty, count
less human lives are throwing them
selves into the very jaws OF death !!
And all because they lack the power
of self-control.
"What volume could be written
OF the young lives, just peeping over
the hills that grid the golden field Of
manhood and who blot the beautiful
vision from their sight, and fall into
the chss II, ofruin. Therefore, to know
when to act and how to act, is true
knowledge; it is far greater than al
book lore combined, for it means you
are master of the passions, and to
master them is to live.

This is the season for beautifying
our town and in no way can this be
accomplished better than by having
all the shade trees on the streets white
washed. We hope our city fathers
will consider this matter at once and
commence the work. The cost will
be very small when. compared with
the good that will surely follow.

70 Batesburg.

We always consider it a privilege
to visit the progressive and ever grow
ing little city of Batesburg, the larg-
est business pointin Lexington county.
Hence our short visit on Thursday
last was much enjoyed.
just at this time the merchants of
the place are enjoying a large early
spring trade, and the different stores
present sight of beauty and lowell
ness. We haye never witnessed so
many wagons loading and hauling
fertilizers and other supplies as was
at Batesburg on Thursday, all of
which speaks in the highest terms of
the business men of the town. There
is world of difference between the
Batesburg of to-day and the Bates
burg of ten or fifteen years ago.
Where once stood old delapidated
cottages, stately mansions have been
erected, and where once stood the old
wooden store buildings handsome
brick structures now stand. The
streets are kept clean at all times,
which adds much to the beauty and
attractiveness of the place. The san
itary condition is perfect, which in
:sures health to all who reside within
her borders. It is always a pleasure
for US to mingle with the good citi-
,zenship of Batesburg, and we hope to
again be able to share the abundant
hospitality ofso generous people.
We wish to call especial attention
to the advertisements Of Batesburg
merchants, who patronize the adver-
tizing columns of The Dispatch from
time to time: Messrs. Rutland &
Brabham are too well known to need
any words of praise from US. Mr..
M. E. Rutland, the senior member of
the firm, has long been recognized as
a leading power in the business world
and has had much to do with forming
the Batesourg of to-day. This firm
deals largely in live stock, buggies,
wagons, harness, hardware, farming
implements, paints and oils. They
are also the leading undertakers and
embalmers. Their trade extends for
many miles.
The L. D. Cullum company deal
largely in general merchandise. Thez
handle lumber extensively AMI
their long business career has
been crowned with success. They
are, perhaps, the leading cotton buy
ers in the county and are known to
the trade of Saluda, Aiken and Lex
ington counties.
The E. Jones Company carry
stock of merchandise second to none
in the state, and they have the conf
dence and esteem of their customers.

CONSTANTLY S0USED
 SAID THE PLAINTIFF
In This She Is corroborated In a Di- voree Suit By Her Fatherinlaw.

There was an unusual family align ment in the divorce case of Mary A. Smith against Jerome l.. Smith which was tried in district court yesterday, the father of the defendant being the chief witness for the plaintiff. The action involved not only a 160-acre ranch near Glendale, a highly cUlti- vated twenty acre ranch near this city; several lots in Dennis addition, a mortgage for $20O0 and a S400 note, beside a well drilling outfit and lot of miscellaneous property The Glen dale ranch stands in the name of the defendant; the twenty acre ranch is owned by the plaintiff and the defend ant, the town lots are in. the name of the wife and the well drilling plant belongs to the defendant and his brother.
 The suit was based on the almost continuous drunkenness of the defend ant and in consequence his shiftless- ness. On cross examination the plain tiff was asked if the defendant did not drink when she married him; Yes" was the reply, but he was not tanl1ed up from morning till night" In reply to a question as to whether he was not sick man and unable to do a great deal of work, Mrs. Smith inti- mated that the condition of her hus- band had been such that it was hard to say what the real state of his health was.
 Regarding the Glendale ranch. she said it was uncultivated and devoted at. present to the growth of bushes and jack rabbits but further investiga- tion in this direction gave some idea of the great advance of property val ues in this valley within the last two years. Two years ago Smith bought the ranch for s15 an acre It is esti- mated that in precisely the same con dltion it was then it is now worth from s60 to $50 an acre
 The father of the defendant on the stand showed no wish to spare his son He said that he came to the ter rltory drunk five years ago and he has been in that condition ever since That statement was modified after ward to more than fifty per cent of the time He had been induced to take the three day liquor cure and if cured him for more than three months

CAUSE AND EFFECT Good Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are certain to follow continued use of improper food.
 Those who are still young and TO- bust are likely to overlook the fact that as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy. greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion.
 Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of Cause and Effect in their daily food. A. N. Y. young wom- an writes her experience thus:
 Sometime ago had a lot of trouble from indigestion, caused by too rich food l got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medicine seemed useless.
 "A friend advised me to try Crane Nuts food, praising it highly, and as last resort, I tried it. I am thankful to say that Grape Nuts not only re- l1eved me of my trouble, but built me up and strengthened my digestive or gains so that I can now eat anything desire. But stick to Grape Nuts"
 There's a reason"

on another occasion, the witness took his son to Agua Caliente where it was thought a boiling out of three or four weeks would eliminate the desire for liquor. It would probably have done so but Smith got to sending by the stage for alcohol so that as fast as it was boiled out of him he poured more into him.
 The witness testified that all the property held by Smith. he had given to him. He was asked if he did not think that the plaintiff rather than the defendant should have the custody of the children. He was about to an swer yes with enthusiasm when the court suggested that that was mat ter for the court to decide but the witness was allowed to say that he did not think the defendant was proper person to have charge of chil- dren.

OsBORNs NEW INCENTIVE.

The Republican has frequently had occasion to remark the forwardness Ono, not frowardness) of the resi- dents of the Osborn district, always foremost in educational and religious matters and in whatever else tends toward the uplift. It has only been necessary to point out a duty to Os- bornians and it has been promptly discharged. Nothing has been too good for Osborn.
 In an address before the Woman's club the other day MT George H. Maxwell spoke of the advantages of sightliness over unsightliness and of modernity over frontierism Osborn gathered from what MT Maxwell said that when a move in the direc- tion of beauty was made in a neigh borhood it was the duty of the entire neighborhOod to fall in and keep step
 The words of MT. Maxwell were to Osborn a trumpet call to duty. But where was the duty? Who was lead ing in the direction of -beautifica- tion where all were abreast? Who was setting a pace for further and swifter endeavor? At last Osborn found it. There were those new and age defying cement bridges with which the reclamation service is re- placing the old, unsightly and ire quently insecure wooden ones which have spanned the canal since frontier days. Osborn at last adopted the ce- ment bridge as it's oriflamme in a hot onward and upward campaign. There has since been a prodigious cleaning of highways and byways; a mighty painting of fences, buildings and outbuildings, careful shaving of the lawns and a removing from the roadside and adjacent fields every re-
