Columbia has successfully pulled off a municipal election without any casualty list. The statepaper thinks "Mr. Bryan, at any rate, will leave peace prints on the sands of time." By the way, what kind of a crop will be grown this season on the weedy plains of Armageddon? In these days of threatened belliger ence, somehow the martial notes of Hobson's war lungs are not heard. "Change ic written on every thing." Time may even come when Vic. Huerta's anti-waterwagon policy will be overthrown. Villa says he has forty thousand Ighting men in the field. There, are rertain moments of mental exhibition when Huerta fancies he has four hun lred thousand. Judge Hill has denied the motion Tor a new trial for Leo Frank. The rase will probably go to the supreme court as the next step along the "route of technical delay. The British house of lords has just rejected the woman's suffrage bill by a vote of 104 to 60. This is Dne of the biggest . setbacks to the propaganda so far recorded in Eng land. The list of men chosen for the re eerv2 board further demonstrates that in filling these important posi tions President Wilson forgot all par ty affiliations in the supreme desire to select only those men most thor oughly equipped for the work. The Lexington Dispatch is thirty four years young. Editor Varner has been in control of the paper for eigh teen years, although his youthful face would not indicate such longevity. We learn from his anniversary editorial that, as they would say in Columbia, Qie Dispatch don't owe nobody noth ing; besides, it has money in the bank and more coming in. Circulation has reached a high limit and adver tising increases. The Dispatch is a splendid paper and we congratulate Brother Varner upon hte'success. PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE. Although nothing but war talk has Been heard for some time past, it Is i noteworthy fact that business has not greatly suffered. On the other hand, reports of prosperity in agri cultural, industrial and financial cir cles are coming in freely. Regarding the agricultural outlook Farm and Home has this to say in sup pert of the doctrine of optimism: "Summer, almost here, finds agricul tural conditions more perfect than at this date in years. The reserves of moisture in soil and subsoil are larger and more universally distributed throughout the country than at this time since similar conditions 'in 1S96 resulted in the bumper crops which U3hered in the good times that fol lowed. "Now, as then, stocks of goods on. merchants' shelves are small, people have liquidated their indebtedness, troney is easy, winter wheat is in more tian perfect condition,, a full acreage Is being planted to other crops. "With ample reserve of moisture, frequent -cultivation will insure even tgainst drouth. The great crops now a prospect, together with a reasona- edition a credit in every sense of the word and a benefit to the work of the association in the city. Business men generally have co operated with the women in patroniz ing their edition, and from a literary standpoint, the edition will be replete wth a multitude of specially prepared articles treating not only every phase of the Y. V. C. A. woik but all lines of activity of women, as well. We are encouraged to believe the editicn will be a marked success. 2 Cin Al VM CAVC ' 3? A. B. C.--Out goes. he.

I had the pleasure of visiting Joe Patton's duck ranch, recently, where he has chickens as well as ducks, in fact all of them looked well. An old drake waddled over into the chicken preserve and the way an old rooster chased the duck remind ed me of my boyhood days in Zin zinnati. Jo said that rooster was un regenerate and foul, and would as coon rush the growler, (referring to the dog.) as chase the duck. I can not understand why some ducks are called runners, for the one referred to above, i. e., the chased, was not 1-2-6 with the rooster. Jo said "no" to my query, "do Indian runner ducks come from Indiana?" N. B. I made a grave error up there when I refer to one of Joe's ducks waddling.

Sentence of death was late yesterday afternoon passed by Judge Harding in Rowan superior court upon Sidney Finger. The day of execution was fixed as June 19. Finger was charged with one of the worst crimes committed in this section in years. He was accused of being responsible for the shooting and robbing of Preston Lyerly, a young merchant of Barber's, Rowan county, on the night of the 24th of February and destroying the body by burning it together with the store building. Finger was represented by counsel appointed by the court but introduced no evidence and was un able to controvert the strong case of circumstantial evidence which the state had built up. No appeal was taken. Floyd Alexander, another ne gro, is charged with participation in the same crime is yet to be tried. SUIT FILED FOR $10,C00 DAMAGES. Ashevilie, May 7.-Suing for $10,000 1 for personal injuries alleged to have been received while in the employ of the defendant company, J. H. Barnes filed a complaint in the office of the clerk of superior court yesterday morning against the Bee Tree Lumber Company and George W. Bryant, a fore man employed by the defendants. It is set forth in the complaint that on or about October 12th, last, while employed by the defendant company to help ouild a crib in which dirt was to be piled for the purpose of building an embankment on which to construct a railroad, the plaintiff with three other workmen was carrying a heavy log to the crib when the log slipped and fell on the plaintiff, serious ly and permanently injuring him. It is claimed in the suit that tne injury was caused, by the negligence of the company and its agents in not providing a reasonably safe place for the plaintiff to work . FATALLY EASY MISTAKES. (Columbia Record.) In a recent issue of a prominent medical journal, the statement is made that mercuric chlorid poisoning can be treated by the use of sodium phosphate with excess of sodium bicarbonate. Thus editorially, the Journal says: "This solution, it is claimed in stantly converts the bichlorid to the mild chlorid. which can be removed by a dose of castor oil. It is very neces sary that the sodium phosphate shall be chemically pure." - Attention should therefore again be called o the fact, says the Journal of the American Medical Associttion, tha tthe names "sodium phosphate" and "sodium phosphite" are so similar that a serious error can be made by the misprinting: of misinterpretation of a single letter. Sodium phospite has been suggested as an antidote to mer curic chlorid because it acts as a re ducing agent to convert mercuric acid into calomel mercurous chiond while the phosphite is changed to phosphate; Sodium phosphate will have no such action on mercuric chlorid be cause it is already as highly oxidized as possible, Dyspepsia Overcome Tone Up the Stomach with Hood's Sarsapanlla.
