If the candidates for the legislature
throughout the state stand upon the
same platforms as the candidates for
the legislature from this county there
will be many changes in the laws of
this state. For instance, the bureau
Of immigration, the lien law, the fox
law, the Office of insurance commits
sioner and many others will go where
the woodbine twineth. 1t looks now
like the next legislature will be COM
posed of many new men, and it re-
mains to be seen what kind of laws a
body of inexperienced lawmakers
will enact.

take this method of thanking my
friends for the large vote given me in

Wednesday, September 2, 1903.

The people of Lexington county will
rally to the support of B. L. Caugh-
man on next Tuesday, not 80 much
because he is a Lexington man as for
the reason that he is recognized
among all classes of people in the
State as one of the most intelligent
and active men who ever served upon
the commission. This Office is most
important one to the people and
should be filled by a man whose own
life has been a success, whose expert
enceis broad and whose acquaintance
with rates, freight and passenger, and
with the physical condition of the
roads and the real needs of the people
make it certain that all interests will
be guarded. Banks Caughman is this
kind Of man.
Another thing-it must not be for
gotten, it cannot be forgotten, that it
was the work of Banks L. Caughman,
that gave the State the separate
coach law, which saves the wives and
daughters Of eouth Carolina the hu-
Rfliation of riding in the same car,
frequently in the same coach, with
big, buck negro. South Carolina
manhood can never forget that su-
perb work of Caughman, and he
should be elected next Tuesday by an
oyoruhelnoinov vote

P. H. Corley was reelected sheriff
o. Lexington county Tuesday. This
is the first time in the history of the
county that sheriff has been elected
to succeed himself without opposi-
ton. Mr.. Corley was elected four
years ago over three strong competi-
tors on the first ballot, and he has
made most excellent officer. He is
today one of the best sheriffs in the
state and his record is known all over
the South. Lexington county is proud
of Sheriff Corley and we bespeak for
him four more years of peace, pros
perity and happiness.

The farmers who heard Congress
man Levers speech at Pendleton last
Saturday were greatly pleased with
it. Mr.. Lever told them he was not
candidate, and that he proposed to
tell them the truth as he saw it, re-
gardless of politics, and he did. He
made strong speech, and it made a
deep impression The Anderson Mail.
This is fine from our friend of the
Piedmont and we have an Idea that
The Mail would like to have the
chance next Tuesday of casting its
ballot for Lever for the United States
senate. How about it?

was the largest in the history of the

large in the second primary, for the
real choice is usually made then.
Come out and vote your choice and
may your choice be clean, honest
ren.

A Card From Hon. W. i.
Sharpe. "


Sharpe.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
As you know, I seldom go into the
newspapers, but as this is the only
medium through which at this time l
can reach my fellow citizens of this
county, beg that you will accord to
me limited space to express my
deep feeling of gratitude to my fellow
countrymen for the consideration and
honor given me in the past.
Ny grandfather served in the war
of1s12 from this county, and my faith
er served in the Confederacy. I now
live at the old home where I was
born, and on returning to that old
home to enter upon the duties of pri-
vate life from a campaign which has
been frought with 80 many COMBI-
NATIONS AND NOVEL PROCEED
INGS, am not conscious of having
made a single utterance or done a
single thing that was not, as thought,
for the good of the Democratic party
and the welfare of the masses of the
people; and if at any place during the
campaign made single utterance
that smacked of the .DEMAGOGUE l
beg that you will blot it from the rec
ord.
lowe my first duty to my family,
my second duty to my clients and my
third to my sovereign country. How
well have performed that third duty
as a Democrat and public servant 1
leave to an unprejudiced and unbiased
public to say. I HAVE TRIED TO
BE FAITHFUL OVER LITTLE. I
have no indictment to hand out
against the people of Lexington coun-
ty, the county of my birth, for, al
though you have retired me now, you
have, in the years that have gone,
honored me far above that I, deserved
or merited, and I would be recreant
were I not to express my grateful ap-
probation for your conduct toward
me. In the language of the Hindoo
woman, you have been good to me,
and may I express the hope, that
your interests may be properly safe
guarded, and that every blessing un-
der free government may be vouch-
safed to you; and may we keep in
mind that these workmen are not
above their masters, nor these SER
wants above their lords.
If, during my public career, I have
done anything of merit, it is yours;
would that I could have done more.
In our civic relations to the: govern
ment let US strive to do our whole
duty, for it is our country, and [ want
to see the Democratic cause trium-
phant this year from Coroner of this
county to President of these United
States, and I believe it will be for:
"Though the mills of God grind slow
: ly, =,
Yet they grind exceedingly small;
Though with patience He stands
waiting,
With exactness grinds He ALL"
Again thanking you, and hoping
that you viii get better things in the
future than I have been able to give
you, am,
Your obedient servant,
W. H. SHARPE,

clude.
The Courts.
1 most earnestly urge upon the con-
gress the duty of increasing the totally
inadequate salaries row given to our
judges. On the whole there is no body
of public servants who do as valuable
work, nor whose mOneyed reward is so
inadequate compared to their work Be
ginning with the supreme court. the
judges should have their salaries doubled.
1t is not befitting the dignity Of the ma
ton that its most honored public servants
should be paid sums so small compared
to what they would earn in private life
that the performance of public service by
them implies an exceedingly heavy Pc

PRICE OF A THRONE.
Luxury Expenditures at the Court Of
NapoIeon

Napoleon.
One of the oldest Paris firms for gold
and silk embroideries, a house which
had already served Louis XVI. and his
court with highly artistic needlework,
former centuries. An inspection Of
these books reveals a good summary
of the luxury expenditures Of the
French court, the Bonapartistic as well
as the legitimistic. Napoleon L., who
for his own wants was, in contrast to
the spendthrifty Josephine, very eco
nomical, went though, to large ex-
pense when It was for representative
gala dresses. The 10000 francs which
he had to pay for the embroidery on
his coronation robe he did not consider
too high price. But his embroidered
frock coat that had cost him $500
francs and which became too tight for
him not long after its first year he
ordered to be widened by pieces of
cloth and the new seams to be COW
cred with embroideries. The bill for
his throne, however, foots up to a
pretty considerable amount. The outer
uiopShS VI puIple 'SiNctr IiAAiNeu
with gold lace, was 10000 francs.
The red velvet panels were strewn
with invoked golden bees at francs
apiece, and above the fauteuil the EN-.
perors coat-of-arms was seen in raised
embroidery; total cost. 1920 francs
The inner drapery consisted of blue
satin with gold lace at 1900 francs
Gold embroidered stripes for the inner
trimming cost $500 francs. Embroid
cry on the blue velvet fauteuil amount
ed to 5000 francs. the foot cushion to
1900. In addition there were 1,o5(
bees on the unembroidered panels OF
the baldachin at the price of $3.50
francs. Altogether the price of Ma
poleon's throne was $3.50 francs

A LECTURE FOR HIM.
Why the Bright Little Woman Scored
Her Thoushtiess Husband.

A bright little. woman was recently
overheard lecturing her husband as
follows:
Now III tell you why 1 wouldn't go
into the restaurant and have a cup of
coffee with you while we were wait
ing for the train. ! didn't like the
way you asked me. Not half an hour
before you said to Mr.. Puffer, Come,
let's get a cigar and away you went,
holding his arm and not giving him a
chance to decline.
when we met John Howdy on our
way to luncheon you said: Just in
time John. Come take lunch with u.s.
And then tonight, when we had to
wait an hour for the train, you looked
at your watch, turned on me and said
in questioning way. Would you like
a cup of coffee? And I did want it.
I was tired and little hungry, but
would have tainted before l. would
have accepted such an invitation. And
you went away a little bit vexed with
me and had your coffee and bread and
butter by yourself and didn't enjoy
them very much. In effect you said to
me, IF you want a cup of coffee, if you
really want it, Will buy 1t for you
You are the best husband in the
world, but do as nearly as all the best
husbands do.
''Why do you men seem to dole out
things to your wives when you fairly
throw them to the men you knows
Why didn't you invite me heartily as
you invite men? why didn't you say,
Come, let's get a little coffee and
something and take me straight away
with you:
You wouldn't say to a man. Would
you like ME to go and buy you a
cigarT Then why do you always issue
your little invitations to treats in that
way to me?
Indeed. IL men would only act to-
ward their wives as heartily. cordially
and frankly as they do toward the
men whom they meet they would find
cheerier companions at home than they
could at the club" - San Francisco

Eyes and Other EyeS.

Birds sight is probably not any
keener than mans, in spite of the ira
dition to the contrary, writes DR.. Ed
ward A. Ayers in Harper's Magazine.
The simple fact is that birds flying
aloft are in clearer air. and their eyes
change focus much more rapidly. As
for the eyes of fish. those in clear
water can focus farthest, and all fish
can see nearly everything but their
dorsal fins. The baby founder has a
special trick with his eyes. which In to
lift a submerged eye as he turns over
to the upper side. twisting his whole
skull in the doing. The eyes Of a
goose are bigger than its brain. Al
for man, he has one eye function ap-
pertaining exclusively to himself,
