Hated to Take the Money.

Frank !. Cobb. the chief editorial
writer of the New York World, was
on vacation in the Maine woods
cnce when Joseph Pulitzer owner OF
the World. wanted to communicate
with him. Mr.. Pulitzer sent Cobb q
cipher message.
Presently country operator drove
in to the Cobb camp and handed Cobb
the message. which read something
like this:
"Simplicity-aggrandizement- - grif

Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex.
pertinent of leaving on coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi.
ness can learn much from the expert
ence Of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until

nights of sleeplessness. tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass OF water. Then | tried Postum

pleasant that l soon learned to love
1t and have used it for several years

OF coffee and took on Postum and

Postum Is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for it is
SO even and always reliable. We

The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1909-10-27

Another old soldier has answered
the last roll call; another familiar fig
ure has been removed from the COM
munity; another husband and father
will be missed from the households;
the county has lost one Of its best cit
liens.
On last Thursday morning about
10:3O O'Clock while sitting in front Of
the fire in his quiet home about -
miles from Lexington the spirit Of \.
Mid Long took its flight and returned
to the God who gave it.
He arose at the usual hour in the
morning and ate very hearty break
fast. After breakfast he took a walk
over his farm and returning to the
house churned for his wife. While
Mrs. Long was putting away the but
ter, her husband died before the fire
without making sound Or murmur.
Mr.. Long was brave Confederate
soldier, serving With FaIOr throughout
the war in Co. K. Goth South Carolina
under Capt. w. D. NJ. Harman.
tthe close of the strife he returned
to his home and engaged in farming.
By close economy, strict honesty and
hard work, he accumulated consider
able property.
He was lifelong member Of the
Lutheran church, being member of
Mt. Pleasant at the time o! his death.
He is survived ty his widow and
two children, one son and one daugh-
ter. Mr.. John Long, Of Hollow creek,
and Mrs. Geo. d. Franklow, Of near
Leesville.
He was buried in Mt. Pleasant
church yard OH Friday morning with
funeral services conducted by Rev. O.
G.. Peterson, his pastor.
He was about Gj years Of age.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

The county fair is in full blast.
Since the opening OF the gates at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning, the grounds
have been crowded with hundreds of
visitors from every section Of the
county, all making merry and enjoy
ing the occasion. Many. are here
from Columbia and other parts of the
State.
The exhibits are of high class and
many in number, nearly every de-
pcrtment being filled to overhowing
with the products of Lexington coun-
ty.
The horse and cattle display is the
best ever seen here and the stock ex-
hibited would do credit to any fair in.
the State. Lexingtonians are taking
greater pride in their stock eack year,
as is amplified by the class shown at
the county fair.
The field crop exhibits are pecul-
iarly fiue, there being more exhibits
this year than at the former fairs.
The class shown reflects credit upon
the farmers Of the county, and speaks
loud for the productiveness Of Lexing-
ton~soil.
The household department is unus-
ually good tLis year. There is not a
single exhibit that is not creditable.
The fine arts department-the ladies'
departments perhaps the most at
tractive at the fair, and has been the
subject of much favorable comment.
Lexington women are not in the habit
of doing things by halves, and their
department is one of the best ever
seen at the county fair.
The poultry department, as usual, is
very good. The people of this county
are taking more interest in the raising
of poultry every year.
The other departments are up to the
high standard of other years and, as a
whole, the fair this year is the greatest
success ever attempted in the county.
The attractions are pleasing every
one and all of the shows are being
we'll patronized.
The attendance is all that good be
desired, the gate receipts showing that
more people are attending the county
fair each year.
For the success Of the fair this year
too much praise cannot be accorded
all of the officers, each Of whom has
worked manfully for the fair. Secre-
tary George began to work in earnest
several months ago, and has not ceas-
ed in his efforts to make the present
fair surpass all previous fairs ever
held in the county. That he has sue
ceeded, and succeeded we'll, no one
who has attended the fair, deny.
The greatest fair ever held in the
county will come to close tomorrow
and large crowd will be il attend
ance.

Vote To Hold Jobs.

Every Senator and Representative
will upon the Tariff question, vote in
the direction of attempting to hold
ms Job regardless of Presidents.
The Representative from the south
west district of Missouri will vote
for Protective duty on zinc. The
members from Pennsylvania will
vote for a duty on iron and steel.
The members from Michigan will
vote for a duty on sugar. The
.Aembers from New England will
vote for high duties on manufactured
articles. No President could cause
them to vote in way which would
mean their own defeat for re-election.
The man from Missouri and the
man from Michigan would tell the
President that he had to "stand by
his own people"
Grover Cleveland aud the Demo
cratic party, after an election in
which the Tariff was the issue, could
not revise the Tariff. The interests
that we have referred to have al
ways entered into combinations,
each giving the other what he wants
and none o: them caring particle
about what the President of the
United States had to say.
President Roosevelt kept away
from the Tariff question. President
Taft would keep away from 1t if he
could. Furthermore, no Ian1l
commission can ever tell Congress:
what to DO. Tariff commission:
might work for years on Tariti
measures and when it came to ac
ton the members of congress would
dump the Tariff commissions re-
port into the waste basket and vote
for the usual Protection to the peO-
pie of their own districts. Then
they would go back home and sesk
reelection. This is the whole
sum ard story.-Des NJ 1ine'

HAS PETERED OUT.

Since the people, who made stock
ings in America have had chance
to be heard the pitifnl cry of the
Free-Traders over increased cost OF
stockings under the Tariff that is
still Matching has petered out as
silently as air from an inflated
rubber toy. There wasn't even a
decent excuse for the cry, which had
its origin in the big city department
stores, every one of which is operat
ing a factory in some part OF
Europe, where cheap labor turns
out cheap goods. Just as soon as
the working girls IN the home
factories got hold of this yarn about
high priced hosiery they got busy
and sent a committee to Washington,
where they told the Congressmen
Chat they had no sympathy with a
scheme to lesson their work and
wages. And there has not been a
hosiery howl heard since.-Milton

WHERE'S THE TROUBLE?

Drunks are becoming quite prev
alent in the city. What do these
fellows drink and where do they
get it? Some of our drug stores
seem to have quite run on bitters.
If the druggists are selling this stuff
as beverage, which they must
know they are, what is the matter
with the prohibitory law or the OF
icers whose duty 1t is to enforce 1t.
THESE bitters bottles can be picked
up in the alleys and on vacant lots
almost anywhere.
1t is time a stop was put 10 the
rremiscuous sale of this deadly stuff.
The law should protect these
liehthe AIDED, soft pated citizens from
themselves who try to commit slow
suicide by drinking the vile stuff.
The druggists who profess to con
form to the requirements OF the
laws of their state should cut the
stuff out and the other kind should
be made to do it. There is some
way to get at this evil and the soon
er it is done the better for the city
and the better for these weak tel-
lows who allow their perverted ap
pet;tes to control them.
