The Lexington Dispatch G. M. HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1894. Postmaster General Bissell has practically determined that no liquor 11 -I* ~ rvAo^mocf^Y' seuer siiau ue appmicu powuuoivi. The Central National Bank of Columbia has added a savings department to its general banking business. A political club without a name was organized at Florence on the 4th inst, under the Hampton suggestion. Late reports from Washington indicate that the Treasury Department will be forced to issue more interest bearing gold bonds. 1893 will go clown m msiory as the year of commercial and financial depression, and it now looks as if 1894 will be remarkable for labor agitations and strikes. Sixty-three new military companies have been commissioned by the Adjutant and Inspecter General, and there are applications for as many more. The Greenwood Leader nominated Prof. L. B. Haynes of the Leesville (this county) College, for the office of Superintendent of Education. His election would be a credit to the State. Editor Williams, of the Greenville News, predicts that it will be prohibition in South Carolina next time. He thinks the sentiment in favor of it is growing fast. Has our friend taken another postal card primary.! The General Conference of the M. E. Church South, met in Memphis, Tenn., Thursday. Bishop Keener presided. The bishops' address, which is quite lengthy, was read. Several County Executive Committees having called county conventions for this month. State Chairman Irby has revoked these calls as unauthorized by the constitution, which provides that county conventions shall be called in May only in Presidential election years. A movement is on foot to erect a monument to the memory of Miss Mary L. Yeargin, the young lady who met her death at Cayuga lake the latter part of last year. Gov. Tillman has written a' touching letter to the monument committee, enclos-1 ing five dollars. The coal miners strike near Birmingham, Ala., is assuming gigantic nrooortions. It looks like the strug x ? I gle will be a long one, and while all j is quiet, the apprehension is great, | because every day marks a decrease: in the food supply of the strikers. Some of our subscribers have re-; spoDded to our call for their dues.! There are many others who are indebted to us in sums raDging from one dollar up, and we hope that they will respond at once if not sooner, j "We need every cent due us to replace our printing plant, and if our subscribers would respond promptly The Dispatch would soon again be issued from its own office. With the last issue of the Greenville Democrat, Mr. John C. Bailey retired as its editor, and was sue ceeded by Mr. W. J. Thrackston. We wish both outgoing and incoming editors abundant success. Editor P. E. Rowell of the Greenwood Leader, and Editor W. W. Thompson of the Greenwood Advocate, became involved in a personal difficulty and the latter shot the former last Thursday, May 3d. The ball entered the left arm, making a painful, if not serious wound. A Card. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Permit me through your paper (the only source I have to reach it ^11 \ flic rmrul tilt* 111 Ull j lU inaxvc Aiiu" u iv tuv ^ wv% people of Lexington, Batesburg and country, how much myself and family feel and appreciate their spontaneous, beautiful, touching sympathy for us in our sad heart rending affliction caused by the death of our darling little Florrie Lizzie. It melted our hearts, soothed our feelings and gave us strength to endure this sorrowful bereavement with greater fortitude | than we could have otherwise borne. In remembrance of it now, is very touching to our bewildered hearts and causes us to melt into tears. What a great consolation to know j and feel that we have, warm bleeding heart-felt sympathies of the j whole community in our great affliction. God will surely bless them ail for their kindness. May God ever bless them all and 1 let heaven s sweetest blessings rest upon them, and that their hearts j ; may never be made to bleed as ours j have been. Walter Mitchell, j ? Dots from Ella. ! To the Editor of the Dispatch: Dear Sir: You may note in your next issue that Mr. J. L. Sease's fine mare dropped dead one day last week, and that Mr. D. J. Padget had ! a milch cow to die very suddenly j ! last week. Planting is very nearly done and j early corn has been worked through, i The rain Satuaday night was very j 1 heavy, and washed the land in many | j places.

It has j been named Saxe Gotha Alliance No.! 1114. Mr. George Sawyer is the i : President and Mr. P. I. Pawl Secre- j ; tary. This Alliance starts out under I the most favorable circumstances, and promises to be a strong auxil ; lery. Our cnrresnondents will bear with I us a while longer. Many articles and other newspaper matter were destroyed iii the fire, and wo will j take it as a favor if those who sent any matter and not finding it in the j ! columns of the Dispatch, will dupli cate the same. All errors and other j shortcomings will doubtless be over ! looked as we are doiDg the best we can under the circumstances. "We ] are laboring under many disadvan tages to bring out the Dispatch on time, but propose to get there just j the same. Sometime ago Rev. Sam Jones, i the noted evangelist, was suspended by the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, because he refused to perform regu| lar pastoral duties. He took an appeal to the General Conference, and it will be heard by that body this week at Memphis, Tenn. Around Gaston. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The farmers in this section are well up with the season. Some corn had to be replanted since tLe recent hervy frost We regret the loss of Mr. Emanuel Lown, a merchant at Gaston, who will soon move to Columbia to run a hot -ling house. Those who suffered losses from the recent tire at Lexington, have the sympathies of the good people of this section, and we all hope The Dispatch will soon be at its old home, lor we would be at a loss without it.

What it has done for others it: will also do for you?Hood's Cures. Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of appetite and general debility all dis-j appear when Hood's Sarsaparilla is persistently taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep, strong body, sharp appetite, and in a word, health and happiness follow the use of Hood's j Sarsaparilla, The strong point about Hood's | Sarsaparilla is that they are perma-1 nent, because shey start from the splid foundation of purified, vitalized j and enriched blood. 28. | On a Lecturing Tour.
