The Lexington Dispatch G. Al. HARMAN, Eiitor and Publisher. i LEXINGTON, S. C., _ i >\?L>A?MJA1, ArKIL 30TH, 15iH. A DISASTROUS FIRE. La-.f nigh" a few minuter past 2o'clock fire was d'scoveied bulling Horn the c urt hon?e side of Diafis' store, occu pied by S. Goldstein with a stock of dry goods, clothing, shoes, ha's, underwear and notion, and in the rear by J. Br >oks Wingaid as a law otfice. In a lew rain ntes the entire building was enveloped in fiinns, which shot higli in ihe air and quickly communicated to the Drafts' Hotel ou the West. This building was also soon a mass of ti imes and only by i the greatest cft'or's was a portion of the furniture saved before it succumb. It being a lar^e, three story, frame s'rnc j tare, tave forth an intense heat, and although Main street is 75 feet wide and h is large sh sde trees on each side, the ; heat soon set tire to the front end of the Lexiug'on B.:zaar, owned by Mr. G. M. llatman, and occupied by him wi'h a stock of confection* ry, fruits, family groceries, to\s, china and gla-swure, cigars, tobacco and drugs, and in the rear by the Lexing'oa Dispach as an office and press room. 0 ;ly the show cases i containing toilet ailich s and stationery and cigars were saved from the Bazaar stock, arid some type, eases, "matter"' j on gat!e\s, a small cabinet and books of j subsetiption and advertising were saved, j In spite of every effort to save the dwelling of Mr. G. M. Harman, a few | feet to the <ast of the Baziar, it soon caught. From this bui'dinga good por-; tion of the furniture was taken in a mnob /? .1 o ,*ri /d /? iti UJKltl V4 V. iiUJll t U . Mr. Goldstein's entire s'ock was | burned, as was CM. J Brooks Wingard's law library and the furniture and orgm of All Saints Episcopal Mission in ihe hall up stairs in ibis building. In the rear room up stairs the rifles and unifoimsof the disbanded L-xiogfon Rifles were also consumid bv the flatne*. The loss of CM. "WingarJ and the; Episcopal Mission is total with no in snrance. Mr. Gold-tein's stock was s'ated to be $2,000 with $1,000 iusuraaee. The Diafis estate had $1,000 in-; suranee on hotel and $750 on the store ! buildiDg, w th loss supposed to be about $2,500. Mr. Harman's los? is roughly estimated to be about $5,000, with $2,300 insurance. When the Drafts Hotel was burning it, was only by the free use of wet blankets | and the best eff >r;sof the bucket brigade that the K3miner Hotel, about 100 feet to the wesr, was prevented from catching on lire, and while the Bazaar was being consumed, the sirne meats were successful in saving the brick diug store aud office of Dr. M. Q. Hendrix and the stoie of Mr. J. W. Long, on the same! side of Main street to the we:t. Col. G. T. Graham also lo:t his law libraiy, wlrch caught on fire after being removed to the street from his office ad - i joining Drafts' hotel and was burned,! the heat being too great from the burn- \ iug buildings to permit it being reached after it caught. This is the most disastrous fire that Lexington has ever experienced except v. hen Sherman's army burned most of the buildings in the pi ice. Had the wind changed to the tast during the burning ot Dials's'ore the b-ick court house would in all probability also been burned, as the coroices are of w >od. Tukiug it all iu all we suppose the dire<t losses will aggregate near $15,500, with $5,050 to offset them. The presses and other printing ma-: terial of the Dispatch having been lost, this issue of the paper is printed ou the presses of Tbe Register, which have been kindly placed at our disposal by tbe proprietor. It is the intention of the proprietor and publisher of the Dispatch to continue its publication without a break, and at as early a date as is possible, to procure a new outfit in presses, type, etc. To accomplish this ; tie needs the assistance of the friends of tlie paper, and appals toa'l who are indebted to him by paying a year's subsetintinn in advance. It' this is done he wilt be ab'e to accomplish t ho desired end with comparative ease. We earn-1 estly hope to have a hearty response in this time of oar need. Tillman has wilfully and systematically led the country peo) le into all sorts ol things injurious to their interests and those j of the State. And now it seetus that he is ; io spend the last nine months of his administration in urging them up to go to war! and shoot their unfortunate brothers and sisters who happens to live in town and j cities.?Edgefield Chronicle. The Chronicle should specify. In what particuhu* has Tillman willfully j and systematically, led the country : people into all sort of things injurious to their interest. It has made the charge, ami the bunion of proof rests with it. "Whatever Tillman may have done in other counties. It is certain he had nothing to do with the forma- ! . . ! tion of military companies in this: county. It is only a spontaneous desire on the part of our people to furnish the Governor of South Caro-j lina the means of putting down in-! surreetion, and support hiui in up- j holding the supremacy of the law by j giving him a militia that can be de- i ponded upon?not band box soldiers. ; j No one seems to know what Gov.

This much is certain however, that no matter what step he will take, he will "come out high,' low Jack and the game." o The best remedy for depressed spirits ; i> a little active woik. Our agricultural editor has hied himself away this week to spend several days upon the fishing waters of the sand hills. "\Ye regret his absence, just at this time, when farmers are planting corn, as we feel sure that it was his intention to write a theoretical disserta- j tion on practical farming in the way of an editorial. But, alas, they are, t by his absence, deprived of the op- j portunity of learning how he raises , cobless corn, shelled in neat crocus j sacks, just from the West, and per- j haps liis ideas upon how they should ' proceed lo raise other farm products' at least cost to the producer. Our knowledge and experience is so very limited upon these practical matters j that we could not think of attempt- j ing to write upon such a subject, j Had he been here, however, we are : satisfied that he would, to the edifi- j cation of the farmers general!}', have j covered editorially the following ; points: Corn in the corn crib. Chickens in the yard, Meat in the smoke house, And a tub full of lard; Milk in the diary, Butter by the load; Coffee in the tin box, And "sugar in the gourd;" Cream in the pitcher, Honey in the mug; Cider in the "Jimmy John" And "licker in the jug." Gen. Gordon, commander of the :. United Confederate Veterans, has appointed Bishop Ellison Capers of; this State Captain General with the rank of Mayor General on his staff. The New York Mail and Express j says that Huns and Poles are to be imported into the cotton growing i States, in the South with a view to have them eventually take the place of negro field hands. Judge "Walts has granted bail to ; McLendon and Cain in the sura of $4,000. Cain has made his bond j and is now free. McLendon is still a very sick man. Don't Delay. It is your duty to yourself to get rid of the foul accucumulation in your blood this spring. Hood's Sarsapa-, rilla is just the medicine you need to purify, vitalize and enrich your j blood. That tired feeling which effects nearly every one in the spring is driven off by Hoods Sarsaparilla,: the great spring medicine and blood : purifier. TTond's Pills become the favorite cathartic with everyone who tries j them. SUMMERVILLE ALLIANCE. At a regular meeting of the Alliance' held April 21, 1804, the following pre- ' a ml he and resolutions were adopted: Whereas the Dispensary law. which measure is not in its true meaning a Reform measure, but was enacted by a Reform legislature and the Reform party has to shoulder it or saeritiee other demands that we, the Reformers, cannot afford; 1 and whereas the Dispensary law lias met ! great opposition in certain sections of this j our beloved obi 1'al met to Stale by a oer- j tain class of people mostly ex-bark-vp's ; and such men as they can lead from the j duty of true sous of South Carolina; and | TI'll..l>iiOil lit' t llii Mfioolli.il f/\l? lli.ll 1 ?? 11 j T ??o 1(u< unv4i?ivn ii?i i rtriu 4? ?
