EEITOEIAL NOTES.
The Saltan, of Morocco, nesitates
to submit to arbitration the dispute
between Morocco Trod the United
States. In other words, the Saltan is,
stubborn and shows fight. Mr. Lewis
the American Consul to that country,
should aVonce be deputized to take
the gentleman by the-napeof his neck
and the seat of his breeches and precipitate
him io the nearest pond.
One of the fundamental differences
between Democracy and Republicanism
lies in their different theories of
the constitutional limits of Federal
power, the one claiming it to be
tione of the constitution to make it
so, while the other wonld bold it to
t the exercise of its delegated powers
u only. ^ ^ i
B Dr. Marsh who attended the late
Mr. Tilden has pnt in a bill for one
hundred and forty thousand dollars
Sr for medical attention. This is appatently
so eat of reason that tbe estate
is resisting its payment. $18,000

esteem in which Mr. Failer is held by
home p$eple is satisfactory evidence
of his.^bility and integrity.
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. Investigation brought forth
an old tin box 4x8 inches filed with
$20 gold pieces. The box had been
placed in a cavity in the log and over
it a sap fibre 4 inches thick had
growD. It is supposed that Levi
Spencer, a miseT, who lived in the
neighborhood before the war had

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

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.

\ 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.
Rise^and sing. Snobby.

that is in ten miles tf Colombia, will
be WQTlh from five M t.wentv-five dol

Letter from Springs.
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

Politics are getting very warm.
We hear*of some who oppose the
Primary plan of nominating candidates,
bat they are iike the Irishman's
rkfttotnoa- "F?w And f*p hptwean." 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

" Henry Morton, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology."
"I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which it is com?
posed are pure and wholesome. " S. Dana Hayes, State Assayer, Mass."
"June 23,1882.?We have made a careful analytical test of Royal Baking Powder, purchased
by ourselves in the open market here, and in the original package. We find it to be a
cream of tartar powder of the highest degree of strength, containing nothing but pure, whole*
some, and useful ingredients.

The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award overall competitors at the Vienna
World's Exposition, 1878; at the Centennial, Philadelphia. 1S7G; at the American Institute, and
at State Fairs throughout the country.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, aifd universal endorsement
from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards cf Health all over-thc world.
Note.?The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders,
as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler. A one pound can of
each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result
being as indicated. Tnis practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only, proves what every
observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it
costs a few cents per pound more than the ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and.
besides, affords the advantage of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will
convince any fair minded person of these facts. t ...
* While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength
than, other powders ranked below them, it is not to be taken as indicating that they have any
value. All alum powder^ no matter how high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous.

Times says : "This is a new discovery of ?. suitable practical method to remedy
the congenital and acquired defects of the eye, consisting ot lenses correct in every respect,
and capable of giving every one normal and perfect vision. Some of the most
celebrated oculists in this country have .pronounced them superior to any in nse, and
recommend and prescribe them as embracing all the merits required to constitute them
the best of artificial aids to impaired sight or defective vision. The lenses are perfectly

CHICKEN CHOLtEA CUR?,
A Friend for the Home and Farm. ^SxO
Years of careful experiment and
taking research have resulted in the die- V~
ocvery of an infallible specific for the cure - )
and prevention of that most fatal and i -+
dreaded enemy of the feathered tribe, "
Cholera. After the fullest and fairest tests
possible, in which ev.ery claim for the
remedy was fully substantiated, the remedy
was plaoed oa tbe market, and everywhere
a single trial has been all that was required ^
to prove it a complete success. The directions
for use are plain and simple and the
cost of the remedy so small that the saving *> < & I
of a single fowl will repay the expense. 'i %
The effect is almost magical. If the remedy
is given as directed the coarse of the disease
is stopped at ?once. Given-occasion- .
ally-*3 a preventtive, there need be no
I fear of Cholera, which annually kills, wo&
fowls than all other diseases combined. It
is a certain cure for Chicken Cholera. No?. j
poultry raiser or farmer can
without it. It will do all that is daisied
for it. Price 25c. p??4?&pfe*?e. 4
