TRUTHFUL REPORTS.
Lexington Reads Them With
uncomm mon Interest,

A Lexington citizen tells his exper-
ience in the following statement. No
better evidence than this can be had.
The truthful reports of friends and
neighbors is the best proof in the
world. Read and be convinced.
A. Marks, Depot St., Lexington, s.
c., says: II suffered from severe pains
through my back and sides for months
and felt miserable in every way. My
kidneys did not act properly and l
knew that they required tonic. l
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at The
Kaufman Drug Co., and since taking
the contents of one box, am able to
do my work without any trouble. The
pains in my back and sides have great
fy diminished and my kidneys give
me no annoyance. I recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to others in re-
turn for the great benefit I have OBJ
tanned from their use.o

have taken the Lexington paper
ever since it was headed '"rhe Lexing-
ton Flag" if I am not mistaken. !
have taken it at least 80 consecutive
years. Everybody should take their
county paper. The paper itself is
worth the money and it should be in
the family of every citizen in the
county. I take the liberty to advise
the head of every family in Lexipg-
ton county to send in his dollar at
once for The Lexington Dispatch.
From the very fact that this great
liquor question by an act of the legis-
lature has narrowed down to point
where it will be decided by majority
vote of the wet counties in South Car
olina on the 17th day of next August,
and in all probability there will be
very interesting reading in The Dis
patch for the next sixty days to come
and every citizen who expects to cast
his vote for or against prohibition in
the August election should be a sub
scriber to his county paper, as this
subject will in all probability be
discussed on the stump and in the
county paper.

born in Lexington county and am
proud of it. I am now living in the

for $1.25 per quart.
The writer has never been dispen-
sary advocate, but under the present
management prefer dispensary to
prohibition, and if these few lines do
not reach the waist basket am going
to give the readers of The Dispatch
my reasons later on.

friend, DR.. E. G. Ridgell, has given
some figures on dispe nsary profits,

CROWD SHOWS SYMPATHY.
Demonstration When Prisoners Start
From Chattanooga.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May Glover
100 Of Chattanooga's representative citi-
zens gathered at the Central station yes
terday when ex-Sheriff J. F. Shipp and
five codefendants In the contempt case
before the United States Supreme Court
started for Washington, where they so
to receive sentence.
A crowd of perhaps 200 negroes gather
ed at the station shortly before the train
left. There was no demonstration, but
they gazed with curiosity upon the de-
PENDANTS. Fearing that an untoward
demonstration might be attempted by The
negroes, patrolmen were asked by the
railroad authorities to clear the station
shed. This was done and the negroes
again assembled on Market street, direct
ly in front of the station. The scene at
the Central station was pathetic. Old
Confederate veterans who have faced foes
in battle without a tremor cried like chill
dren when Capt. Shipp waved a farewell
and said goodbye.
The uncertainty of the fate awaiting
these men at Washington and other at
tendant circumstances made the parting
sad but the convicted sheriff, in appear
ance a typical representative of the old
south, did not show that he dreaded the
punishment that many think will be
He was deeply touched, however, by the
tribute of his friends, by the hearty hand
shakes of his comrades in arms and by the
words of encouragement and sympathy
extended by men and women alike.
When the train moved out and Capt
Shipp had leaned out of The car window
to wave last farewell to his friends,
old Confederate veterans We're seen to
shed tears, while here and there among
the crowd of negroes a laugh could be
heard.
At7.r the train left the crowd dispersed
quietly.
Al 10 o'clock five of the defendants,
jeremiah Gibson Williams, Nick Nolan,
Henry Pad1ett and William May, reached
the custom house. where they had been
notified To meet United States Marshal
Dunlap. A crowd had gathered at the Gus
tom house before the arrival of the de-
PENDANTS, and upon their arrival the Off
Ger and his charges walked down Market
street to the Central passenger station
with the crowd behind forming a long
parade line.
Within d few minutes Capt Shipp ar
rived in carriage with Attorney NJ. II.
Gift, who will appear for Capt. Shipp be-
fore the Supreme Court Tuesday.
Composing the party which went to
Washington in connection with the case

CHAFING OVER TARIFF DELAY
SENATE "PRoGRESsIVES" WANT
NIGHT SESSIONS HELD.
Becoming Suspicious Of the Finance
Committee Tactics and Fear
Pitfall Awaits Them.

Some of these fine days-pretty soon
one of the '.progressiyes" in the Senate Is
going to rise in his place and inquire why
the finance committee does not report the
Hale resolution providing for night ses-
sions The progressives are getting rest
less over the delay in the progress of the
tariff bill and are desiring action.
1t is like this: The way the game is roll
ing now too much time is being con-
sumed with too few aces coming out of
the box. The patience of the country is
being taxed in the delay over the bill.
with not enbugh progress on material
schedule@ The essential issues are being
postponed Htosla period when time, 1t is
feared. will be too limited for their ade-
quate consideration.
The progressives fear that first thing
they know the country will be charging
the downward revisionists with the de-
lay. Then there will be a hue and cry.
a demand for speedy finish, with the
result feared by the prOgressives that
important features of the bill will be
sighted to the advantage of the high
protectionists and the disadvantage of the
downward revisionists.
There are the cotton and wool Sched-
ules, for example. supposed to be nearest
the heart of the high protecfionists. The
progressives do not want action on those
schedules postponed until the very last
minute, and rushed through under whip
and spur of popular impatience. There
are some other schedules of equal impor-
tance subject to the same solicitude.
To put it plainly, the progressives are
becoming suspicious OF the tactics of the
finance committee and fear pitfall.
Moreover. a demand for night sessions
from the progressives will serve notice on
the country in a public manner that the
downward revisionists are not delaying
action on the tariff. but rather court early
action. If only opportunity is furnished
to get the right kind of action.
Senatorial courtesy forbids a motion
on the part of the progressives to bring
the resolution out of committee, else such
a motion would probably be made now
However. within the limits of entire cour-
tesy, pretty strong hint will soon be
forthcoming from that quarter that the
reporting of the resolution would be de-
sirable.

Sheriff Shipp is a man past middle

with a white mustaGhe and imperial.
He talks with the easy deliberation OF
the south, being neither defiant nor de-
fensive as to the curious case that tor
the first time in history has brought a
prisoner in person before the Supreme
Court of the United States.
He said that 1T would not be proper
for him to talk about the case and the
prospective sentence, but he went over
some of the details of the trial that led
up to the lynching of the negro with
whose custody he was charged.
The prisoner in question had been given
a trial in the state court, and after con-
viction had appealed to the supreme court
of the state. This court, after reviewing
the evidence, declared that there was no
ground for new trial, and the case was
then reviewed by the federal judge Of the
