The debate oo the tariff has not been running fhany-days, but already y ' it has become dreary and monotonous. What will these tariff speeches accomplish except, perhaps, to be used by the members themselves to advance their own political fortunes? 3 Nobody pays any particular attention to their delivery and very few people _ read them. The country has made up its mind what it wants done with ?r ~ the tariff. The speeches with regard to it are virtually useless, the people are anxious for a vote upon the tariff bill aDd fewer speeches. Running a saw mili sometimes pays. It certainly paid Peter Beaucbamp, of New Hope, Md. While he was sawing a large cypress log, the other day, the saw struck something that broke it.

On May 22od a National Convention of lawyers will be hold in Washington, the purpose beiDg to form a National Bar Association. The eonTen tion was suggested a year ago at the ^Diioarmeetiog of the Bar Association of the District of Colombia * when th8 board of directors was instructed to communicate with the local associations throughout the country, and also with the American Bar Association, with a view to form- i -V leg a national legal body to be com- ' posed of delegates from the various associations, and to meet in annual , . convention, gncb body to have for its ^ .V V.- -Vr , ; '''* ^ ' v - ' ' ' tjs,' 1 y \ m V ' nM ^i...i i . object ibeUdvai?ceajeut cf the science ' * of lavy io this country. Many favor s.ue responses have beeD received to tlje circulars sent out by the board. Unfavorable accounts of Mr. Cleveland's health are beginning to appear in some of-the newspapers? Republican newspapers of course. A gentlems* is represented as RayiDg that there has been a startling change | in his appearance since he went to \ the White House. He has gained considerably in flesh, takes no exercise, and is liable at any time to be stricken down. Fortunately, a good mfriry people have 6een Mr. Cleveland in the last few months, and they know by his appearance that his health is excellent. The Republicans had better settle the question of Mr. Blaio's health before they begin to discuss that of Mr. Cleveland. The admission of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston as a contributing member of the Grand Army of the Republic is * an event worthy of note, and most of the leadiog papers recognise it as sacb. The New Yo*k Times calls Gen. Johnston the most famous, surviving Confederate General, and says: "Wjben the ablest surviving soldier of tbe Confederacy is received in fellowship by the veterans of the Uoion, the country can't be made to think war is smoldering in the Sooth, ready to burst forth into a devouring flame on March 4th next, in case of a Democratic victory." Foraker and bis tribe will not be pleased with such expressions, but then there are very few people who care whether the bloody shirt politicians are pleased or not. Convention vs. Primary, Mb. Editor:-?The writer was pres ent at the meeting of the Democratic Club at Peak's on last Saturday eveuoing. There were a good many persons present, and the membership roll was larger than I expected. The people here are io earnest and mean work. The clnb ejected officers, also three members to the County Convention, and a member of the Executive Committee. The selection is a very good one indeed; There was great complaint concerning the present management of the party dprihg-a campaign. On the outset-I wift state that we here are bitterly opposed to* the primary; for ever since its existence the Fork has been left blank, in regard to getting its just Ishare of representation. We. shonft have at least one member in the liegisl&tare, and two county officers proper. Now we get one Commissioner. . ' * Primary election is called the peoexperience has amply -ahS^sthat it is not. Look at the scratcffiC^^rmTror? does it no^how at once that those j individuals did deposit them did change their minds suddenly, probthe influence of etrikers w^? working like busy bees for a c?W*^-^|iaate or uAdidates. ^addition to (ate certain persons in each township who have a large influence on some 'p their neighborho^^ftnd extern^ the peopjes. i-hoice. I think I am^safe'W^tate connty *yJ>*--??*2ffif5Toaker dozrtutr-vr votes, and a great many others, pore than the one to which they are only entforth* Thjre"are in additioD^c^r ^wi^CTerslffliS^rgniSSSf^to write and rely on a friend to fix their vote. -Cannot that confiding party put in "Dick" in place of "Harry," when the latter name is requested to insert on tbe slip of paper, called tbe peoples choice ? I know very well that convention men come to the Court honse packed, and are not strictly pare; bat still the damage done is not as 'great as by primaries;- and if we are forced to submit to one of the two evils, let us take the one which is the least damaging. Conventions are also not as troublesome and as great time killers as primaries. Primaries are also expensive. Look how many barbecues are in different parts of the county daring a campaign. They tempt a man to reach deeper in his pocket than generally, they are very near as -bar to the pork tribe as cholera, and to tbe lambs as Bheep killing dogs. There is another matter of which a portion of the people here complaiD, and they are right, and it ought to be remedied. The quotoof representation of the different connties in a State to tbe Legislature and of a I State to the House of Representatives to Congress is fixed by the return of the ceDsns. In our county each township has equal representation in County Democratic Conventions, at present, which is not jnst. Look at oar neighboring county Newberry, and others, how well th? ranrAnon t.s Hon of tbe different townships are proportioned. Oar-guide is the last census of 1880. By looking over it we ffod the Fork has a popnlation of < 5 981, and the other ten townships 12,601. At present there is in all a representation of 65 members to a County Convention, of which the Fork gets 15 aod the other side of the river 50; whereas, tbe Fork is entitled to 2.1, and the others to 44. I merely state these facts, and I hope tbe party ^viil soon take action on it. It is trne we are all working i for tbe same great and good canse, I bat it is not more than jnst to do tbe j work right. I know a good maDy : men from the Fork, and probably tbe I ather aids of tbe river, woold be bet- | ter satisfied and would more cheerfully j put their shoulders to the wheel. Observer. Hope Station, May 7tb, 1888. ' y.- ; . ^ \ S Mr Edi'i^r:?I ask for small space to reply to Master Y. Y."\j}?y? that noted poem writer, who copes fronj .other men's work, from old books and papers. Hs thinks i.o--ir? making himself very popular t .. writing, bnt it is over the i ft shoulder. He claims in his last at \c]e ti*a?. he is a q.aiet citizen. I w to say that if a vote v?s taken in Black Greek townsj>p two-thirds of the voters would" say that Master Tandy is always contrary. If he cannot get anything up with bis neighbors be will have something np 'in the church, and that is sufficient proof that there is no possible cbaoce for Maeter Yandy to get an office by the voters of Lexington connty; and if he is successful in getting an office by an appointment it will be the caose of some man giving him a deoect dogging. Now as to the trustees of this township: I know something of their work as trustees, and feel safe in saying they did all that men coold do for the children, and it was Master V. Y. Day's owii contrariness that his and a few other children were deprived of a school. It seems very strange that he doesftot go to Lexington C. H.} with his complaint, and giv8 the men a chance to show to the public what was done. I wish to say to the readers of the Dispatch thfet Master V. Y. Day's signers to his recommendation are nf three different townships, and he claims only three or fonr honrs at the business. That is certainly good traveling on foot. It would have paid him well if he had been snccessful in getting the contract of carrying tfe'e mail from Lexington to Eish's Store. He wonld not have needed any horse. Master Day presented bis document to me and asked me to sign it. I told him I could cot go against men. who had done their duty, as I was satisfied that Sawyer and Bish had, and I suppose this is why be made an effort to slaiffler me and family. "No gentleman will stoop so low as Master Y. Y. Day has, to write such articles as he has about gentlemen. I have always tried to attend to my own business. I am willing to leave it to my nearest neighbors to say who I am. It is very likely Master V. Y. Day will be a candidate for Sebool Commissioner in this campaign, as he claims to have a great deal o^sperience in the school By 8* tern, and it seems by his writing that bis influence was the instigation of our former Commissioners being elected. If their influence had been as week as Master Vandy's, they would have been to-day where he is. But Master Vandy you will have to trot around. flllF'" j1 1 n -?n rmrflrah We are all aware it will all be in vain, For the voters will not help you out of a strain. You have promised men the sum of two dollars a day, T&tifk up this school matter, without any i5ut i jpijjljjlliii i'i you pay out your small changeT^^ JF^^pe^is very useful in all campaign*. You y &ware the voters must all be found; - Stlre you get up political matters in time, Or it is very likely you will be left behind. ,If jwa^are abort of means to pay your way as you go, Gall and get your goat hides, take them for asliuw: Take along your canvass cloth with you every night, .And charge for your spotted goat bides tec cnnts a sight. Here in these few verses of poetry. I give Master Yandy the best council I can, bat if he wishes to proceed with his search warrant, X will pay him five dollars per day to execute and sell my property- His dootor bill would cost him five or ten times that amount by the time I get through with him. * J. L. Beery. Rishton, May 4tb,^L888. Give Us a Best. Mr. Editor:?The Day-Sawyer controversy fias reached a crisis as to become disgusting to the readers of the Dispatch, and we feel constrained to ask those eminent writers to "give ns a rest." Those of your subscribers in other parts of the couuty are not interested iu the Smith Branch Sohool and we would prefer more news of a different nature. My advice is, for all the parties concerned to meet in an old field and "fight it out," and send that spotted goat hide op to Mr. John Zenker, get him to tan it, and then perhaps it will be of more value. Why does not Lawyer "Snooks" take this matter in hand ? His legal advice recently settled a very important 1. it. . L_ i > chbu iu tuerorK, oy wmco means a grass-widower returned to bis wife, and is dow living in peace and happiness. Com9 brother "Snooks,'' "rouse yourself to the issue" and tell us what is to be doDe about that fifty cents afrd spotted goat hide. We have been treated to some very fine poetry during this controversy, and I for one, am under many obligations to Mr. Smith for for the words to "Old Leather Breeches," which appeared in his article last week. The tune was oDce very familiar to me, and thoogh I bad forgotten the words, I think now I will be able to play and sing it. In order to be in fashioD, guess I will have to sprinkle on some poetry?so here goes: Hi ding diddle; ... ilie cat and the fiddle; The cow jumped over the moon, And the little dog laughed at the sport, Ah the dish ran away with the spoon.

Having been my; pleasure to spend awhile at the eqnnty seat and to share in the hospitality of the ^ood people of Lexington. As soon as one sets foot on Lexington soil and becomes acquainted with her people and ways, then he seams to become imbued with the patriotic ardor and country priue so strongly enarauteristic of her citizens. Situated ia a beautiful eection of country and eur rounded by laods u^ted for their fertility and productiveness, inhabited by an independent and well-to-do class of citizens, it has at its very door all the material necessary to the development and prosperity of the town, and its healthful climate and elegant society, it needs nothing to make it all that a town can be, but to go ahead. Perhaps the most frequented place icf the town, and it is the most -eacred, is St. Stephen's church cemetery, tbat last resting place of many of Lexington's fairest daughters and noble sons. Any one, as I did, caonot help feeling dteply impressed, asjbey walk through this beautiful place and look on the many beautiful monuments and tablets y' erected by bind hands over life graves of their Io\ed one*; at the frailty of * - Q certainty of rlf* i A\ae<fb^^. jK?;..

I ~? don't see how any ote can favor the Convention plan of nominating candidates. I believe in letting the peo. pie say who shall fill the various offices, and not for a few to meet in a convention and say who shall fill onr important offices. This is not the voice of the people by any means. Those who have run in the primary and been defeated (with few exceptions) uow favor convention, and want office through convention after tbey have been defeated by the people. If we have convention we must vote for the nomination of not vote at all. I think that a change low will be 9 wide mistake. While the political sea is undietnibed doD't let us &iir it np by a convention. If we should have cooveution I fear we will b ive another ticket in the field.
