The Lexington Dispatch, 1916-09-20

VV I1IUW X WCU3 <" f | Yet the guns were turned upon me , and the pitiable score is marked by seventy-one votes! It reminds me < of the old, old story of the man j gaining the whole world only to lose t his own soul. I am frank to say , I ^ that no man with justice in his ^ heart can direct or be a party to 1 such a game. No man who pos- t sesses the proper sense of fairness , among men can vote for such prin- , ciples and retain a clear conscience. t I was in the race and made the t whole campaign on my own merit. |< Why didn't the opposition fight me? ; g Why should the voters be prejudiced | against a man who had done no sin ; against tne public? If the answer j to these questions never comes to 11 you, you can sum it up like unto ; f this: Wrhen the first primary showed 11 me a leader by nearly six hundred ;< over my nearest opponent, they saw j ( that merit was going to win and } that thev were short in the winning ^

cessful exhibition. While the crops! have not been good in point of yield, the farmers of every section j are in position to make a splendid ! showing in the agricultural depart-j ment. The Lexington fair, the oldest county fair in the State, is I purely an agricultural fair, organ- j ized and operated for the be: e it of j the farming class exclusively. In; this it has not fallen short of the pur- j pose for which it was formed; for, j since the fair has been in operation, j greater rivalry has existed between j the farmers each year, and now the best that the soil will produce is j shown each year at the Lexington fair. While the fair is purely agricultural, there are other departments? departments all of which go to make up a creditable show. The wonderful natural resources of the county are best shown at the fair; and, two, what has been accom-: plished in industrial, pursuits and in every other avocation are brought together.

Dear Doctor: I am pleased to write you this letter, which you may have pubilshed as a testimony if you wish. I suffered with a painful and annoying case of piles and you cured me in a few treatments, without the use of the knife or any detention from business on my part, and without pain to any appreciable extent. I feel that I can recommend you in the strongest of terms to any one who suffers from piles. Yours very truly, B. C. STEPHENS, Timmonsville, S. C.

Ov v>~ %/ ??O ' V who can be handled as tools and who cannot; so they passed this word down the line: "Shealy must be defeated." But Shealy is not defeated. They only wrested from me a public office?my sword which is drawn in defense of truth, honesty, righteousness, and fairplay, is bright and gleaming. The day is not far distant when its edge wiil be felt by those who can least afford to let > ' it play on them. My friends?and the general public?will soon miss my service, but there is hope in the future; and with the great Guiding Force around ' me. I shall labor to make rough places smooth; crooked places straight; and dark places light. Cyrus L. Shealy. Lexington, S. C. n A i * r\ < m e
