The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July ^ 19,1894. * , ? p G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. ^ ====1======^^^============= 0 LEXINGTON, S. C., P WEINESDAY. JULY 26, 1899. Jj LI CONCERNING A MARRIAGE. I 'The Lexington Dispatch meets the prop- tl osition of the State to consolidate Richland a and Lexington counties with ridicule. The ' Dispatch will find that ridicule will not do a in this case. Look at the State's proposition trom any standpoint you please and there is intrit in it. We would therefore s advise the Dispatch to treat the matter . . more seriously, and huut up some facts to offset tb? ones presented by the State, ii Ihe proposition caDnot be ridiculed out of existence. It wi.l take stubborn facts, and 0 plenty of them, to kill it. Can the Dis- t! patch array them?"?Orangeburg Times . and Democrat. d So Ephraim is joined to his idol 11 and our neighbor across the Edisto 1 worships at the shrine of oar friend, 11 the Philistine, across the Congaree. 8 Well, wonders, it seems, will never D cease and nothing is surprising in ^ these days when "its root hog or die,'" 0 ^ and everybody is for himself and the E devil after us all. Alas, for the sta- 0 bilityof earthly hopes and ambitions! a The State has been fondly cherishing ^ the sweet delusion that it had at last 1 grasped an "idea"' and with gentle 0 hands and tender loving care it laid a the premature and missbappen, but s nonetheless lovable infant away in ^ swaddling cloths to "soak." And now s comes the cruel and unfeeling Times c and Democrat, with malice afore- 1 thought and the fear of the wrath of ? the State not before its eyes, and v in cold and deliberate terms pro- ? nounce the "soakiDg" child of the ? State, a "proposition." Was such a 8 manifestation of "man's inhumanity c to man" ever witnessed befort? Was there ever such a cruel pulling of 8 the heartstrings of a doting and * proud mother as she calmly and peace- 1 fully watched the "soaking" form of 8 the child of her own creation with e bright hopes of it becoming a Goliah a on this mundane sphere? Why, oh r why! did The Times and Democrat c ruthlessly break in upon the quiet 1 6olitude of our neighbor acro.cs the 1 Congaree and awaken it from its c fond dream of having produced an 1 "idea?" We hasten to the rescue, and J bear our bosom so as to protect dhe v "soaking idea" from the misrepresen- c tion of the unfeeling and unsympa- ^ thetic Times and Democrat. It is an 1 t "idea" and not a "proposition," and it is "in soak." Yes, neighbor, the 1 "idea" has "meiit in it," but the 1 merit is all in favor of Richland and c "devil a bit" for LexiDgton. The v State's "idea," as we see it, is to take * all the cream and give Lexington the * poor blue skimmed milk, to eat the i ^ juicy steaks and give us the bones; c n ronola in fVia licVi norfnmo/nf tV>o 0 WV i. V iu ViiV 11VU \J & V&iV fragant rose and prick us "with the a thorns. But what is the Orange- ^ burg modern old maid fussing and E fumiDg about anyhow? The bacbe- D lor editor of the State is not im- 1] pressed with her faded charms and 1] ancient form. His losing eyes are b turned on the comely features and r volumptuous form of fair Lex- v ingtcn. This charmiDg and gracef il young maiden "holds his heart n and sou!;" her dancing happy spirits 11 have won his affections and the bril- ^ liancy of her sparkliDg eyes have led a him a captive at her feet aDd he has P offered upon the altar of love, rich c gifts in railroad assessments, long a strings of figures alleged to repre- ^ sent real estate and personal property j and the good Lord only knows what ; else. It is no use for the Change- j burg old maid to be "shyiDg into the ( ^ ring." Her solicitude concerning the j Cj ab.lity of the Dispatch to "array" p ficts, is to say the least under the n circumstance?, rather gratuitous. c; But for the edification and inforina- t] tion of its Oransrebnrj? neighbor, t .. " - - ' I " the Dispatch will say that in the full- j c, Dess of time it can and will "array" j ^ facts forbidding the proposed wed- ; ^ lock. The Dispatch never crosses a j e: bridge until it gets to it. It never j R goes around poking its nose into j q things which does not concern it; it j p never offers gratuituos advice on vv subjects which it does not understand. Its bicycle don't run that sj way. It finds it hands full in at- ' tending to its own business and busi a ness in which it is immediately con cerned. In the meantirr e, t :e oi ange blossoms have not buddeJ; the cake has not been baked nor the marriage S feast prepared. It is true that the j 11 bridegroom is anxiously awaitiDg the j ^ appearance of tte lovely bride, but i 01 she tarries. The old maid expresses ; Jbersclf as being in favor of larger vI counties and in her undue baste and unseemly anxitty to fold a larger ^ number of escaping lovers in her bony j as arms and embrace them on her ! 18 wasting bosom, she forgets that there j m is a happy medium between larger j ai and smaller counties, and that is for j *r the counties to remain just as they 110 now are. Larger counties are too ; unwicldly and inconvenient, while j smaller ones are too expensive and j bi burdensome. It is well enough to 22 let well enough alone. If the Die- : wi patch mistakes not the signs of the j N< limes, our gay ol J maid neighbor will ne have as much as she can do to "array"' j lo< ficts in her own interest. Watch gu Calhoun and Peirj! pr DON'T HOWL! The calmity howlers every now and hen bobs up serenely to disturb rith their misshapen and un welcomed resence the placid waters of absorte contentment and the even tenor f our way, but, fortunately for cur eace and progress, only to be releated to their native elements by he incoming waves of prosperity rbose white topped crests can be een coming this way. Just at this ime when the wheels of industry re turning with a merry hum; the aarch of commerce is pleasant sounds pon the iron highway, and fortune miles favorably upon agriculture, hese people of evil omen are much r evidence. Dreadful is their tale f direful calamity and ruin which hey have booked to overtake our inustrial, commercial and agricultural '* 4w oc, JSillUllOIiS. JLU libitru lu luuai uo bey spin their gloomy yarn of commg want and poverty is enough to ;ive the most sanguinary temperament the "blues," make the stoutest ieart to quail and paralize the nerves f the most energetic. "Wherever a tewspaper is fead there will the recrd of their present and coming finncial ruin and suffering be seen. ?hey shut their eyes tightly to the fact hat "there is a destiny that shapes ur ends rough hew them as we may," nd that we cannot now have all sun-1 bine and flowers; that there must j >e some clouds and rain and torms in life of every individual. ommuDity and nation to make us he more er joy the blessing of peace, { rosperity and happiness of which re have maDy times been the ungrateful recipients else we would for;et the source from whence came the unshine and clouds?forget God and lie. It requires no more labor, no more xpsnditure of energy to carry a >right sunshiny face thorough life hat will shed rays of beautiful sunbine and hope into poverty's darkist hole and into the most discouraged heari; as it is to be always carying a dark, gloomy and repelling :ouatenence. Let us always have lit! uugut oiue ui iuc pviuic tuiiitu oward us that we may be able to disiern something good in every changDg. How much better, how more oyful and what greater happiness it vili be to us to feel and know that >ur presence is a welcomed benedicion to the homes of the sorrowful, he sick and the house of mourning >ecause of our happy disposition and mvaryiog and refreshing cheerfulless. It is like an oasis in the desert >i life giving 6weet rest to the tired, veary and soul sick traveler aloDg he rough and rugged pathway in tfe in the journey from the cradle o the grave; it lifts the sinking and trooping spirits from the hopelessness f utter dispair to nobler puipcses nd holier aspirations. It its to the lUDgry pantiDg heait which is in iced of sympathy and encourageaent what the refreshing and revivag rain is to the parched and witherrg flower. It scatters the refulgent earns of happiness into the deep eceses of the soul and causes the thole earthly tabernacle to break j orth in a stream cf glory that will aake our own hearts to sing forth a songs of praises. Above all things ?t us get rid cf gloomy sour looks nd harsh tones, and live for the urpose of getting all the good we an out of this old world cf ours nd making it better because we ved in it. The State of Georgia is considerb!v stirred up over the horrible delils of a distressing and brutal rape ase which occurred in the county of ainbridge. Seven cf the eight egroes who are charged with the i ~ i "l . J l _ i 11 1 i i time nave met cieaia at me nanus 01 tie incensed citizens and the remainig one is confined in the jail at Beatur, where he is closely guarded by be law officers and a mob is outside emanding his surrender and threat ning to blow up the j lil with dynalite if their demand is refused, rov. Chandler has ordered two com auies of State militia to proceed 'ith all haste to Bainbridge to pro set the negro. To use an 'cxpres ion more expressive than elegant: Hell has broke loose in Georgia", nd still there is more to follow. It is proposed for all the wheat rowers and farmers of !he State to leet in convention at Greenwood en .ugust 15:h, for the purpose of rgaDizing a Wheat Growers' Assoiation, and it has been suggested lat the farmers of this county mec-t k this place on the 1st Monday in ugust, for the purpose cf sending 5 many delegates as will go. Tit is an important matter out of *\vhich inch good may come to the farming id wheat growing interests and we ust this county will be represented the convention. Negro incendiaries are said to have lmrd Phoenix City, Ala., on July j !J by satuiating a let of rubbish J ith kerosene in the basement of the ! ew York Iiacket Store. Three I groes have been arrested and j Jged in the jail. As soon as their lilt is fully established there will obably be a necktie party. Gen. Alger has been forced by public clamor to resign the Secretary of War portfoilia and Elihu Root, a prominent attorney of New York, has been appointed to succeed him. Secretary Alger has had a rough row to hoe and while not entirely blamtless for the scandal in the management of tLis department from the Spanish war until this time, he has partners in incompetency from the President dowD, who should also resign. The annual meeting of the State Alliance was opened in Columbia today. The Dispatch is rrjji el to learn that a systematic effort will be made to revive this Order and awaken ! am wA/st ? ? t n rrt /\r? 4 b /? a, uefpei xutticso il: it aiiiuug cue | farming elemeut of our citizeuship. Tbe principles of this Order is well worthy the consideration of those engaged in the pursuit of farming and we sincerely trust that the effort to resurrect the Order will meet with success. The Cubans now demand that the United States should make a formal declaration of its intentions toward the Cubans in the government of the island and have intimated that in the event of a failure on the part of this government to favorably consider the demand, the Cubans know what steps, to take to rid the island of the heel cf foreign imposition. Trusts are getting in their work, the drummers who talked as they traveled three years ago so unani mously for McKiuley and "sound money" are catching it right and left. Oae man out of every ten has been affected by it, 35,000 haviDg been turned out of tbeir positions and 25,000 having had their salaries reduced. Gen. Wade Hampton, who has been spending sometime at Wrightsviile Sound, near Wilmington, N. C , is reported to have been much invigorated by his sojourn on the coast. The grand old hero is now at Dagger's Springs, in Virginia, where he has gone to join his son and daughter. 13ub Ingersoll, the brilliant infidtl, died suddenly at his home last week. His calm was sudden and peaceful He did a great deal of harm to the L world for having lived in it as well as much good. Having denied the existence of God in this world he has gone to face him in that which is to come. Gov. McSweeney has ordered the State constables to obey the mandate of the Supreme court, and hereafter they will, when bearing pistols, have to wear them exposed or else lay themselves liable to prosecution. It is repoited that the Columbia canal has been sold to local capital ist, the head of whom is Mr. W. B. Smith Wbaley. The price paid is said to have been $500,000. The big steam shovel for the Sea board Air Line Railroad is now en route for Columbia. When it arrives it will be put to work on the deep cut just outside of the park. It will be 28 feet deep. It is stated on excellent authority that Wm. Jennings Bryan will be a delegate to the next National Demo cratic convention, which is very fav; rable to bis re-nomination for the Presidency of the United States. According to the thirty-fourth annual report of the secret service division of the Treasury department there were 079 arrests during the past fiscal year for counterfeiting. Newspaper correspondents at Manila declare that the American soldiers were on the verge of munityaud say that had not Geo. O.is sent the volunteers home there would have been sensational developments. The State Re union of the United Confederate Veterans is now in session at Chester. There is quite a large number of veterans in attendance and Chester is royally entertaining them. A compressed air trust has been firmed in New York with an aggregate capital of $100,090,000. A grain elevator was burned on July 23d at Toledo, Ohio, involving a loss of a million of dollars. Deafness Cannot be Cared. By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an iulkmed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. AYhen this tube gets inflamed you ! have a rumbling sound or imperfect li< ><!virsrr nix! ?-lir>n if. ic i closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken ' out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten i are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of t the mucousurs faces. We will give One Hundred Dol- < lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by 1 Hull's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. t Sold by all druggists.

" My wife had a severe attack of pleurisy and lung trouble." savs Abram Freer, Kso.. of Rockbridge. Greene Co., 111., in a thankful letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. " The doctors gave her up to die. She commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and she liegnu to improve from the first dose' By the time and it was the cause of a large amount being sold here I think the "Golden Medical Discovery' is the best medicine in the world for lung trouble." Not only for lung trouble is it the most wonderful medicine in the world, but for every form of weakness and debility. It redeems the very sources of life from these subtle poisonous taints which lay the system open to dangerous disease. It gives digestive "power ; helps the liver to do its work; enriches the blood; builds up solid strength and vital force.
