of our homes and nation than is any
other thing. It lie an evil itself and it
gives being to legion of other evils.
It is business without q reieeming
feature; thing for which good
word can not be said. Men of Lex
ington, we call you to witness. Are
these things true? Is the above fig
ment or fact? Lay your hand on
your heart, look up towards God and
then make reply. There is but one
answer. You know, as all meD know,
that what we say is solemn truth.
We are face to face with condition
from which there is no escape. Every
man of US must needs be on one side
or the other. There is no neutral
zone. The next 80 days holds in its
hands, in large measure, the wellbe-
ing of Lexington county for years to
come. We come to you as your fel-
low citizens, as your neighbors, as
your brothers, in common cause.
We appeal to your manhood, to your
chivalry, your patriotism, your love of
humanity. We make our plea to your
conscience, to the best that is in you.
IT it be necessary we plead that you
do not allow yourselves to be controll-
ed by considerations which are simply
sordid and selfish. 1t is true that the
Dispensary will be source Of revenue
to the county and some of the towns.
But alongside of that will be an in.
crease of lawlessness which to rolice
and punish will consume a large Fart
if not all the profit. But granting
that all the profit will be clear are you
willing to accept it? You are man
of property. You know that a very
large part of the money spent at Dis
pensaries is by negroes and poor white
men. Don't you know it? These are
the weak ones who need the protec-
tion of the strong. The Dispensary is
their worst enemy. Are you willing
to profit in small way financially by
that which degrades and beggars
them. are you? Good roads, paved
streets, better schools, etc., are all
very desirable and they mean much
indeed. But in order to have good
roads and paved streets are we willing
to mix the clay and sand or the CO.
ment and sand with the life blood of
weak men and the tears of helpless
women and dependent children? Do
we want and will we have improved
schools at the price of mems bodies
and souls. That is costly education,
isn't it? After all, if You refuse to be
convinced, if you are determined that
your influence and your ballot shall be
for the; Dispensary We want to make
request, which is that you read this
address to your by and then tell him
why you favor the sale of liquor. Say,
will you do it? N. N. Burton

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many yeals doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incuraole. Science has
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& o.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only Con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to q teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circulars and testimonials.

FAV0RS RETURN
OF DlSPENSARY
Senator Sharpe Says Great
Moral Institution is Remedy
For Illegal Sale Of Liquor in
Lexington County.
NOPROFIT FROM ITSSALE

To my fellow citizens OF Lexington
county:
Permit me to say that for quarter
of a century, off and on, you have
honored me with your suffrage, and
no one appreciates it more than I do.
I haye endeayored to do my full duty
in the public service without fear or
reward or hope of reward. It now
becomes necessary for Us calmly and
dispassionstely to reason together.
In consideration of the high manly
stand that .. E. Corley, supervisor,
has taken in performing an official
duty required of him under the law,
we now have the privilege to vote on
the 18th day of August for the estab-
1ishment of county Dispensaries in
Lexington county.
We now have illegal sales going on
all over Lexington county under the
so.called prohibition law, which has
been an ignoble failure in the county
for four years; we have had all of the
evils with none of the good. We have
had drunkenness, confusion, bloodshed
and crime with no profits from the
sale of LIQUOR to protect our people
from the effects of it. We have lost
at least $4,000 IN revenue from this
source in the past four years alone.
This revenue has mainly gone to Rich
land and Aiken counties and some of
it to other points, thereby empoverish-
ing Lexington county and it's taxpay.
ere. If we are to have the evil-and
have it, we will under any system
let Us have the profits as well.
Think, my fellow citizens, of the
condition of your county now badly
in debt, with the certainty of having
to pay it's past Indebtedness and it's
public losses in bank failures, etc.,
think of the condition of your roads
and think of putting your hands in
your pockets to pay the expenses Of
the county government, it's past in
debtedness and building your roads,
think how much $4,000 a year Dis
penssry profits would help.
Our prohibition friends hold out the
argument that we are to get rid of
liquor. I ask candidly and in all sim
cezity, will they get rid of it? Have
they gotten rid of it in the past four
years? If it were possible to get rid
of it without national legislation there
would be some force to their argu-
ment. I stand for sobriety and tenn
perance in all things, but each indi-
vidual must control this for himself.
Hear me my, fellow citizens, hunt
up your tax receipts, 60 to the polls
on the 18th day Of August, vote for
the Dispensary and establish system
of the legal sale and control of liquor
instead of the present system of abso-
lutely no control and illegal dealing
with it, and let our county have the
profits that rightly belong to it.
This is no question of sentiment. It
is vote for the Dispensary and have
the liquor and the profits therefrom,
or vote for prohibition and have the
liquor and no profits. 1t is a cold
blooded proposition of adopting sys-
tenn of dealing with an evil that is
here with Us and here with US to stay.

SCIENCE RECORDS A TRIUMPH
After Research 1t Has Been Ascertain
ed Just Why the Hungry Man
Tiehtens His Belt.

Remembering the habit of tramps to
tighten their belts when hungry, Prof
DR.. Rudolf Lennhoff decided to inves-
tigate the efficiency of this simple
remedy in actually suppressing hun
ger. Assisted by physicians he made
use of the property Of the X-rays of
being arrested by metals and their
salts. Persons were given drinks
which contained in suspension salts
Of bismuth or livigated lodestone, or
they were required to eat solid food,
such as mashed potatoes, which had
previously been mixed with metallic
salts.
DR.. Lennhoff reports to the Vos-
Sische Zeitung the following results;
In the case Of solid food, a contraction
Of the stomach could be observed, and
relatively small quantity proved to
be sufficient to satisfy the appetite.
When liquid food was given In the or
binary way-i. e., by swallowing-the
contraction was considerably less. and
larger quantity was necessary for
satiation.
In third experiment the liquid was
introduced into the stomach through
a tube; in this case twice the quantity
Of liquid was required
These experiments showed that the
mechanical stimulus Of swallowing by
reflex action causes a contraction of
the stomach, thus accelerating satia-
ton. This suggested that by arti-
flcially increasing the pressure on the
stomach satiation could be accom-
plished with a smaller quantity of
food. The trick of the hungry tramp
was therefore resorted to. and a belt
was applied tightly around the waist
Of the eater. The result was as an
ticipated.

Fortunate Little Wait.

A romantic history attaches to a
pretty little founding at present be.
ing cared for in the West Ham and
Eastern General hospital, London, Eng
land. A Stratford resident going home
late one recent night heard cry, the
wall of a newly born child. He jump
ed over into a field situated In Knox
road, struck a match, and discovered
bonny baby boy. The man con
veyed the child to the police, who in
turn took it to the West Ham hospital.

to the workhouse," the kindly ward
sister stated, land he is now the lit
tie duke of the ward He is daily
gaining strength to fight the world,
and we should like to find good

him Peter to bring the little fellow
good luck, and the cabbage patch is
where he was found" This little

fair hair He sleeps all day in a
