Labels for Orchard Trees.


The best label that we know of and
one that is commonly used for nr-
chard trees is made by cutting COM
mon sheet zinc in strips twelve
inches long, tapering from three-fourths
inch wide at one end to a point at
the other. If new zinc is used, 1T
should be left out in the weather for
few days to acquire a slight rough
ness. In using, write the name Vt
the variety at the wide end of the
label with a common lead pencil and
give the other end two turns around
some small branch that is likely 10
be permanent. This label will open
up as the branch grows without con-
stricting it in the least and after the
mark of the lead pencil has been on
1T for few weeks it would require
scraping with a knife to remove It..
There seems to be a chemical action
on the zinc.

Every dispensary in this county
closed down on Monday, to remain
closed until the result of the election
is declared. It is the duty of the
sheriff and his deputies, the nagls-
trates and their constables, the may
ors of towns and their police officers
to see to it that blindtigers are kept
down. How we'll they will perform
this duty remains to be seen, but 1t
goes without saying that the law will
be carried out to the letter. If any
person-no matter who it is-knows
of blindtiger, it is incumbent upon
that person to report the same to the
sheriff or his deputies, and to the
magistrates or their constables. Now
is the time for men to assert their
manhood. Will they do it?

"Mes+ Me At The Fair"

Mr.. Samuel B. George, the new
secretary of the Lexington County
Fair association, is on the go nova
days getting everything in readiness
for the coming fair to be held on the
26th, 9th and 28th of October. The
premium lists of the various depart
ments are being arranged and will
soon be ready for distribution.
Secretary George says he intends to
make the coming fair the best ever
held. He is going to engage fine
line of attractions, the best that can
be obtained. This is as it should be,
for without attractions no fair can be
success. The people, as rule, who
attend the fairs are out for good
time, and this they cannot have
without the shows. A fair without
an up-to-date midway will not draw
the crowds, and tnis announcement
will no doubt be heralded with much
delight by the people of the entire
county. "Meet ME at the fair"

Barnwell county has set healthy
example. Two white men Of proml'
nent family connection were convict
ed in that county last week of murder
with recommendation to mercy and
sentenced to life terms in the State
penitentiary. Chester kennedy was
convicted of causing the assassination
of q white man. The testimony upon
which, he was convicted was that OF
two negroes, together with a strong
chain of circumstsntial evidence.
Ad Boylston, the other white man,
was convicted of having waylaid and
assassinated his brother-in-laW,
young Cleveland Tanning, a few
months ago,
A few more verdicts like those in
Bsrnwell last week and assassinatlons
in South Carolina will soon be almost
unheard of.

The great campaign for education
in South Carolina was opened at Spar
tanburg on Monday. More than 100
of the most prominent men in the
state have been secured to address
the county meetings. We would sug-
gest to our worthy superintendent of
education that an effort be made to
secure one of these meetings for Lex
ington. Nothing is more important
than our educational system and we
would like to see the people Of our
county take more interest in the
work.

Additional Resolutions.

Whereas, 1t has pleased our Heav-
enly Father in His infinite wisdom to
remove from all the endearments OF
life our friend and classmate, Claude
Redd: therefore,
Resolved 1st. That it affords US,
his Sunday School class, great pleas
ure, though an unspeakably sad one,
to put upon record our high and affec-
tionate estimate OF his character and
life.
Resolved End. That Claude Redd
in a very high degree possessed those
traits which gave promise of a coming
manhood which would have adorned
society and bless I'd lis fellow men.
Resolved 3rd. That for one Of his
tender years he was the most manly
boy it has ever been our privilege to
know, and as such we cheerfully hold
him up as model to others, and urge
upon them to initiate his example.
Resolved 4th. That as q Sunday
s chool scholar he was punctual in his
attendance upon the meetings OF his
class and it was matter Of conscience
with him to study and master his les
sons. =.
Resolved 5tb. That while we bow
in submission to the Providence which
has deprived US of our friend and the
inspiration of his life we can but feel
that our loss is indeed a severe one
and our grief is deeper than we can
express.
Resolved 9Th. That copy OF these
resolutions be rendered his family
with the assurance of our deepest
sympathy in this hour of their grief
and pain, and that they be published
in the Lexington Dispatch. ,-..

Letter to Scott Hendrix
Lexington, S. G

Dear Sir: There are thousands Of
people saying: "That's what call a
good job of paint, it has worn three
years. Pm going to repaint before it
needs it; three years is enough"
Those people are long way behind
the times. There are two reasons for
painting; those people know only one;
they are thinking only of wear; of
keeping out water. Three years may
be too long for the looks of paint; it
isn't half long enough for the ware. If
all you want OF paint is to keep-out
water, Devoe is good for dozen years
in average places. And that isn't all.
The cost of the job is the first thing
to think-of, and, if you think of it
right, you needn't bother with wear.
The paint that takes least gallons
makes the least bill for both paint and
painting; people forget the labor bill;
it's the biggest bill in the job. A gal
lon saved is about 50. Five gallons
saved is S25. The paint that saves
gallons-that's the paint to wear.
Geo W Brown, Union, S G, painted
B. F. Arthur's house there twelve
years ago with 80 gallons; repainted
five years ago lead-and-oil with 25gal-
Ions; last year Devoe with II gallons.
There's $50 sayed on paint and labor;
don't know what he paid for that 30
gallon stuff; no matter.
Go by the gallons.
Yours truly
SS =. W. DEVOE & co
p. S. The kaufmanE drug co. Sells
Or paint.

We have read many articles on pro-
hibition during the last few months,
but the editorial appearing in last
weeks Calhoun Advance is about the
best we have read on the subject.
The Advance is fighting hard far pro-
hibition, and the chances are that
Calhoun county will join the prohlbl-
tion column. The fight in all the
counties is getting warm and it is con-
ceded that nearly every county in the
State will vote out liquor. So mote
it be.

It seems to US that Harry Thaw has
been hampered long enough and we
believe that the country is getting
tired of it. Thaw is 10 more insane
than is the Hon. William Travers Je-
rome, the district attorney who has
bounded him down all the while. We
don't believe that Jerome himself be-
lieves taat Thaw is crazy. Harry
Thaw ought to be given his freedom.
Justice demands it.

It is said that the directors of the
Columbia- Georgetown Boat Co., will
shortly put on another boat. This is
a move in the right direction and will
doubtless prove good investment for
the owners. Columbia is rapidly
growing as wholesale centre and
nothing could add more to the whole
sal interest of the city than compe-
tition in freight rates.

After all it cannot be said that the
blindtigers of Charleston are going to
vote solid for prohibition. A reporter
of the News and Courier called on 40
out of the alleged 81 tigers in that
city few days ago and only succeed
ed in getting expressions from two.
One said he was going to vote for pro-
hibi;ion and the other said he was 60
ing to support the dispensary. The
other 3s told the reporter that it was
none OF his D. business how they
were going to vote.
