The Lexington Dispatch G. M. HARMAX, Eiitoranu Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., \ v uiv on ion< ??-u-n. l o\r% l oat. It seems to us that Coxey is receiving some very unjust and even cruel treatment at the bands of some of the law officers into whose clutches he has been so unfortunate as to fall. No matter what considerations may have induced him and his immediate followers to undertake his tramp to "Washington, the fact remains that there is some grounds upon which to base his complaint, and that his demands of Congress were certainly just, fair and founded on equity. ?? uai/u * ci uin pux jn.^u iia > c been, whether from a desire to draw public sympathy upon himself for his own aggrandizement and which would work to his political preferment and financial interest; or whether he was actuated by pure and unselfish motives, with an eye single to the interest of the suffering and starving unemployed thousands who are at his back, and by actual observation demonstrate to Congress the necessity for the enactment of such laws as would give speedy relief to the people and provide a way of gaining a livelihood to the unemployed, he has unquestionably succeeded in accomplishing his purpose and Congress will doubtless make an effort before the present session adjourns to make some provisions to relieve the distresses of the unfortunate class of people to whose sufferings and hardship its attention has been thus directed. In commenting upon the Treasurer s report last week, we had not intention of intimating that our efficient County Treasurer, Capt. 1). J. Griffith, had failed to discharge" his duty in making out his report. We were only criticising the law as construed by the Comptroller General and his instructions to the County Commissioners in reference to the same. We believed then, and are still of the opinion that the intention of the law is to give the taxpayers the fullest imformation as to the expenditure of their money, and that to lump claims and accounts defeats the very purpose for which the law was enacted. In the case of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company vs J. R. Blake, W. D. Mann, et. al., in reapplication of the Attorney] General of South Carolina for an order requiring the receivers of that road to pay taxes, and penalties was heard in the Federal Court by Judge Siinonton, it was ordered that they pay the penalty on all balances of taxes unpaid and that they do not pay any costs of levy on any property in their hands as receivers. The taxes which the railroads held back and were compelled to pay amounted to ?208,600. The 15 per cent., penalty upon this will net the State, $31,290. Gov. Tillman and Senator Butler have both answered the question put to them by Mr. Thomas P. Mitchell, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Farmers' Alliance, and both have expressed themselves as opposed to certain of the Ocala de*r?on/lc nvo cfnmlinrr rm the same platform, ami the question now is, whether Butler is apeing Tillman, or Tillman is trying to step in Butler's tracks? The "Voice of the People," is the title of a new eight column folio published at Newberry, by a Joint . Stock Company, in the interest of the Reform element. Mr. F. V. Capers is the editor. The initial number is handsome in appearance and is filled with choice reading matter. I>r. Sampson Pope, in a letter to the Columbia Register, dispels the impression that he had retired from the gubernatorial race. He says he j is still a candidate, and will canvass many of the others, avoiding, however, any expressions which might destroy the personal friendships existing between himself and the other candidates. We are now passing through the | Clevelend panic after the great cb- j stacle has been removed, the Sherman Act, and while the muddled j bribery tarriff is on. The general I busiuess is surely in it, while the farmers are mastering (Jen.

Means impure blood, and overwork j or too much strain on brain and body The only way to cure is to feed the i nerves on pure blood. Thousands j I of people certify that the best blood purifier, the best nerve tonic and strength builder is Hood's Sarsaparilla. 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 disappear 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 Sarsaparilla, The strong point about Hood's Sarsaparilla is that they are permanent, because they start from the solid foundation of purified, vitalized and enriched blood. 28. ? School Closing at Summit. To the Editor of the Dispatch: It was my pleasant privilege to attend by invitation the closing exercises of the Summit High School and to address the people of that community on the subject of education. So impressed was I with the exhibit of the school work that I am minded to gi e you a few observations upon what I saw. As is known perhaps to most of your readers, this school embraces in the scope of its work three departments, classical and lib rary, commercial and musical. The tirst is under the personal management of Rev. E. L. Lybrand, with an efficient corps of teachers; tbe last two are admirably conducted by Trot. J. If. Koon. The specimens of class work presented during the day were creditable in the highest degree to teachers and pupils alike. There were evidences of hard work 011 the part of pupils; skillful management and painstaking, conscientious labor on the part of teachers. Not only so, their work is projected along lines of progressive practical education of today?striving to educate at once the head, the hand, the heart of the pupil. Prof. Lybrand and his assistants have caught the spirit of the new education and are striking on the most improved lines of instruction. President Lybrand evidently believes that his people deserve the best and be is determined to give them -what they deserve. Where so many did so well it would be invidious to specify; but all will agree, t think, that the work of the class of little four year old children, who had been in school only a few mouths, was exceptionally tine. A f.omewhat unusual feature was the rendition of several songs by the vocal class, the words and music of which were composed by Prof. Koon himself. The Summit Brass Band contributed largely to the eclat of the occasion by the stirring music they discoursed. The skill v?j iui.i t?auu, cue; ou\/iw biuiv it has been organized, is truly remarkable. Time and space would fail me to tell of the bountiful dinner served upon the grounds In quantity and quality, in variety and flavor the most fastidious must have been more than satisfied. Altogether it was a day long to be remembered?full of the ripe fruits of past faithful sowing and intelligent sowing, and full of larger promise for future results. l ast, though not least among the pleasing features of the occasion tor this visitor, at least, was the handsome bouquet of dowers, presented with rare grace, and bearing upon a card attached the names of the fair donors. May all live to enjoy mmy more such reunions. J, Wm. Stokes. The Discovery Sayed His LifeMr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beaversville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life. AYas taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or house without it." Get a free trial bottle at the Bazaar. Peak Gleanings. To the Editor of the Dispatch: We enjoyed another excellent sermon the third Sunday. We can trnly say with a realizing seuse that Rev. V. Y. Boozer is steadily improving. rI he Sunday school is a little band, although it is still surviving. We think that the Superintendent, Mr. J. 0. Swygert, will succeed in getting u greftt many more scholars, as he is an energetic superintendent and takes a great interest in the Sunday school. We are glad to say that our genial friend and merchant Mr. W. H. Suber. who has been quite ill for some time, is now convalescent. Capt. Land, and liis force, are now locate d at Beak, and are busily engaged in repainting the iron bridge which unites Alston aud Peak, and we are sure that it vrill be qnite an ornament to the town j when finished. The closing exercises of the high school j of Peak will take place on Friday night, j .Juue 1st. The pub.ic is cordially invited to attend. "Captain Jinks." and his band, ! will furnish most excellent music. Come | one and all, and let's have a good time in | general. For Over Fifty Years.
