The Lexington Dispatch , - . ? ? i Q. M. HARM AN. Editor and Publkh?r. 1 t LEXINGTON, S. C., Wednesday, November 6, 1901. With this issue vo'ume XXXI of j 1 the EHsDatch cooiea to a clc9e. We j i are proud to say tbat for thirty-one j years we have been a welcomed visitor into the homes of many of the peo- i pie of Lexington and have influenced i the destiDy of many of them. _____________ THE FATE. I; President W. D. Evaus is of the j opinion that the finances of the State F^ir Association are iu a satisfactory j condition and that the receipts of the j late fair will be amply sufficient to i meet all obligations without the ne- ; <wu>ctf? nf drawing on the reserve, j uvw"V -- o This, indeed, will be gratifying new6 | to the many friends of the Assoeia- j tion who were fearful that the re- j ceipts would fail to meet the liabilities this year on account of the unfavorable circumstances with which the Association has had to contend and overcome. The people of the State should oer tainly take a deeper and more active interest in these annual fairs held under the auspices of the Society, esDeciallv so those who follow sgticul - V tural and mechaoical pursuits for profit or pleasure. Wben these fairs are properly held and tbe primary objects for which they are given are not lost sight of?are not smothered by minor attractions?much is to | be learned from a business standpoint by these annual gatherings of the people from every section of tbe State. The fact that these fairs have already accomplished a vast amount * * *- ? a Cl good aiOQg ice Hue Ui tuc au^wuu of improved met-ods of farming and a more intelligent understanding of the laws of mechanics and their utilization to meet the requirements of a higher and more exacting state of civilization can no longer be successfully contradicted. The results are too apparent to do so. On nearly every farm and in nearly every shop in the State, the beneficient influences which have gone out from these fairs are seen and felt in the advance systems of cultivation and the improved machinery for the factory, shop and firm. This is all true, yet we are living in a progressive age in which the money king is enthroned and to whom the supplient knee is bowed in idoli * ?? *ho?afnrO that, which irourt wuiouip, WWVIV.V, appeals to the people for assistance j aDd support must have some of the elements of practibility about it. There must be some reasonable assurance that the money invested io enterprises of this character will bring some return in dollars and cents to the investor before biB sympathies can be aroused and the desired assistance secured. Convince a business man that the State Fair will return to him a fair dividend iu trade, or kind, for the money subscribed, and we Fubmit tbsfc as much as is wanted could be raised without trouble and in a little or no time. The experi- \ ??"? ??ii xvnrfh trviD??, and we j iUVUV IO r? V44 ?f v*?? ^ . trust that the excellent management of the Society will bring the aarue business principles to bear on this as they wonld on any other business enterprise. Let the business men but realiz3 that the atirac ions of tbe j fair are such as will induce solid men from all over the State to visit the capital city with a view to both pleas uie and business snd the money necessary to conduct the fair on sound business principles, we dare say, wi.'l be forthcoming. More attention should be given to the science of agricullure. and the art of manufacture. Extraordinary tffjrts should be directed toward becuring tbe best specimens of the field, toe forests and the shop so that there will bea minature world of business activity wherein is seen the practical side of farm and mechanical life. Tais will draw a desirable class of visitors who have money to invest the modern appliances for use in the various pursuits of life as well as in other farm sni family supplies. Enlarge the sphere of usefulness of these fairs and they will feel tnetusci io a more liberal and subtantial patronage. Elections were held \esterday 'n the States of New Y,-rk, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Kentucky, N? bras-ka, Rhode Island,- New Jersey, lew*, California aDd Colorado. The Republicans carried their S'ates and the Democrats lost none of theirs. These fall elections have heretofore been carefully watched by politicians in both the great pmties and much interest, has b<?en manifested in the iesult, especially by the Drrnocrats, as it is contended that the re?'* - ni^otpl St.?fps fnrnshad hUltB JU I.LCCC vw ? ows tbe result in the Presidential election. Those who have kept trend of these elections well know that the fall elections in off years aie very unreliable and no dependence whatever can been placed in them as a basis of calculation as to bow a State will go in a Presidential election because ifc is almost the invariable rule local influences are brought to bear in tbes? elections which materially affect tbe result which do not exist, or are not allowed to be felt to any perceptible degree in Presidential elections. i Since the State Fair Columbia has had a chapter of crimes and casualties that is horrifying in the extreme. One murder, several fatal accidents, j innumerable robberies, fisticuffs and I drunks foot up the catalogue of crime. ! Of course no blame can possibly be attached to the alert and efficient police department of tbe city for these 5 crimes ana accmeuio n o ucjuu? human keen to have prevented them, j Schley a court of inquiry is drag- i ging its slow length along. Admiral Schley has ceitainly put his enemies to flight and it is s&i 1 that Admiral Crowingehild, the chief conspirator against him, will be compelled to give up his waim bedb in the Bureau of Stragedy in Washington and go on active duty on the waters where it 13 hoped that, if a sadder man, he will j learn to be a wiser one.

The grounds of the Srate Agricul- , tural and Mechanical Society have ' b-eu leased and arrangements have teen eff-cted with the railroad authorities for the transportition of j * visitors on the most liberel terms. i - The government of Nicaragua has terminated the treaty under which the United Srates was authorized to d'g the Isthmian canal. It is claimed that the renunciation in no wise affects the friendly relations between the two countries. No motives are ^ given for the renuncia ion.

I ' The election passed eft quietly at j this place yesterday and as far as wp have heard the same condition prevailed throughout tbe county. No interest was manifested in tbe * election and the vote was light- Tbe primary election settled tbe matter and the election yesterday was onl? a mere matter of form to comply with the legai requirements.
