i 111 mmtmm. as?i ???m+mrn The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juh* 19, 1891. G. M. II ARM AN, E litor aud Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. NOVFMBER 7, 1891. LET'S TAKE A BEST. Xoav that the election is over and the harassing and perplexing issues which were matters of grave concern and deep anxiety a few days ago, are irrevocably settled for at least the next two years, the peace, the prosperity and the happiness of our State demands the cessation of all political agitation of whatever nature or character. A tired feeling comes over us and we turn sick at the contemplation of the division of our people and the great injury being done, the State thereby. We have been having too much politics lately and not enough of revival in our business interest. We are just now in the midst of a crisis in our affairs that demands the thoughtful attention and careful consideration and the hearty eo-operation of an undivided people to successfully grapple with the situation by which we are confronted and to bring order and system out of cahoes and confusion. The development of the natural resources of our State and county should be such an inviting theme as call forth a hearty and active support from ail our people. The field for such work is wide and the results to be attained inviting and worthy our best endeavors. Varied are the opportunities for the development and enlargement of enterprises which with intelligent management on sound business principles promises J;uo- returns for the money invested. ()ur State is ir> resnnmeg both in an incipient state of development as well as lying dormant awaiting the appliances and arts of man for ** " ' * ? f -T J3 tiie:r manuiacture mio useiui auuoinamental commodities of commercial value. "We may cry bard times and try to account for them on whatever hypothesis that may suit our fancy; we may become discouraged and disheartened at the gloomy outlook and heavy financial depression and sit down and whine and suck our thumbs in the sulks because fate does not smile upon us in our lethergy and indolence, but unless we bestir ourselves and make use of every opportunity at our command to roll back this cloud which has been overshadowing the business interest of our State, we may expect hard times to coutinue and grow worse. Let us each and every one resolve to put our hands to the plow and act well our part in this praiseworthy and commendable eftbrt for the upbuilding of the material interest of the State and the improvement of the condition of its people. Let us end this puerile and suicidal policy of seeking to array one class against another and the country agaiost the towns, for our interests are so closely welded, woven and knitted together that it is impossible to cripple, in jure or retard the growth and develf opment of the one without the other ietUojor the disastrous results to almost the degree. A concern about our own inferos seems to us, would urge us to lay asieu our factional bitterness and go to work for the upbuilding of our whole State. KACL3OT01T AettUUTJWJ. McLendon, of "Let her roll" fame, tlie State constable upon whose shoulders strenuous efforts were made by the Mayor and other people of Darlington and many opponents of the dispensary lav,- throughout the State, to place all the responsibility - for the riot at that place last spring, was tried in that county week bebefore last for the killing of F. Xorment, and was?acquitted. "When it is remember the unusual efforts made by a certain element in the State to prove that for several days preceding and up to the killing ?- of Xorment, the people of that town were as peaceful as lambs and as gentle as doves, and it was only after the brutal, unprovoked and cowardly murder of one of the citizens in cold blood by this constable who ,'iivarlinn' flip QOTlofifv flf JUltti uttii miuuiiig ~ ? j the homes of those people in search of contraband whisky, that the peo pie became indignant and in a quiet, peace and lawful manner sought to apprehend and bring to justice this disturber of her peace* this red handed murderer of her citizens. And when it is also remembered that Gov. Tillman was severly censured for bis alleged usurpation of power in calling out the militia to quell an imaginary riot and thus heap further indignities upon those latcb like people, the acquittal of Mchendon completely vindicates himself and at the sametime proves the wisdom of Gov. Tillman in his prompt action in suppressing the incipient rebellion at that place. The State Administration and the constables have been vindicated and the blame for the unfortunate affair placed where it rightly belongs?on the shoulders of the hot heads of Darlington?and we are satisfied. "Let us have peace." $ THE ELECTION. The election from various States I i show large Republican gains.

C., September 22, 1894, Ora May, infant daughter of John Addv and wife o / : Lena, aged G months and 10 days. , Little Ora's stay on earth was very ( short, just long enough for those . who were near and dear to her, to become so much more attached to < her, she was a sweet little babe, but , was afflicted from her birth. The funeral services were conducted by j Rev. L. E. Busby September 23, in Salem Lutheran church, after which ! the remians of little Ora were laid to rest in the cemetery near by to await the resurrection. It was hard indeed for the parents to see their I little one consigned to the cold and i silent tomb. But weep not fond j parents for if you will just look be! yond the river, though your eyes be I blinded with tears, you willlthere see i your darling babe safe in the arms | of Jesus beckoning you to come. | Farewell little Ora at present for. Beyond the golden sunset sky Beyond the rolling wave: Beyond each earthly tear and sigh Will meet beyond the grave. Beyond these pangs that parting brings Beyond this earthly vale, Will meet where joys eternal spring And love shall never fail. Hassik C.

I Mrs. M. L. Gilbert, Midway, Tex. Obituary. ;: Mrs. Sarah Ann Clemmon was ' born on the 17th day of September; j 1 1844, and departed this life October ; 1 4th, 181)1, making her days on earth ! : fifty years and seventeen day. She i: was united in matrimony to Marion j Clemmon about twentv-three years, ! V , ' | twenty years of which she lived in : the faith and doctrine of the M. E. Church, and was much devoted to I family as also her church. Her dying testimony was the evidence of her eternal happiness. She died at j the Lexington Manufacturing Com- i pany and her remains were laid in j the Clcmmon's burial ground, at the ! head of Red Bank creek. A most i efficient sermon was delivered by the j Rev. G. Edwin Stokes. Mrs. Clem- ' mons leaves a husband, two daughters, two sisters, three brothers and many friends to mourn her loss. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh, blessed be the name of the Lord. 1 Asleep in Jesus, On, for rue May such a blissful refuge be, Securely shall rry ashes lie, And wait my summons from on high, i Asleep in Jesus, far from thee, 1 Thy kindred and their graves may be, ' But there is still a blessed sleep, ^ From which none ever wakes to weep. . Mr. Clemmon desires to thank the < good people for their kindness and i hospitality to his wife daring her ill- ] ness; the good women and men of i our little town, also her physician, < Mr. "W. P. Roof, apd our minister, all of whom will please accept his ] sincere thanks and gratitude. May God bless them. ( A "wonderful Conqueror. < No disease is more common among < the people than scrofula. Handed ] down from generation to generation, it is found in nearly every family, in some form. It may make its appear- 1 ance in dreadful running sores, in 1 swellings in the neck or goitre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane it may be known as catarrh, or developing in ( the lungs it may be, and often is, the j crime cause of consumDtion. 1 JL \ In whatever form scrofula may manifest itself, Hood's Sarsaparilla is its inveterate foe and conqueror. ( This medicine has such powerful al- i terative and vitalizing effects upon } the blood that every trace of impur- ^ ity is expelled, and the blood is made rich, pure and healthy. 51. ( . ] Prohibition. ( To the Editor of the Dispatch: < "Why not prohibit the manufacture * and sale of alcoholic liquors? If we ] have a legal right to license the traf- 1 tie, then, it follows, logically, that we i have a legal light to prohibit it, and ( more, we are morally bound to do so. [ The Creator has given us the fruits 1 ami crraine f a rnrnrfhpn and snst.n'n life, and if we have turned them 1 into poisons to breed disease, poverty and death, we are guilty before God, and will have to answer for our crime. If we have not individually made and r sold these poisons, but have licensed others to do so, we are equally guilty, because we have received the license money, put the profits into our pock- ( ets, and have thus become partners j in the crime. To stop the licensed sale and establish dispensaries by the appointment of pious agents to . dispense the liquid poison to all but ^ drunkards and minors (?) under the fncfovinrr mvo nf flip Sfnfp Tcifh J1 ?O ? , f view to making the business more ? ? g profitable and more respectable, does not in any sense lessen our * guilt while, at the sametime, it lowers our sense of moral responsibility j. by assuming that it is right for the State to sell alcoholic liquors and ^ wrong for the individual to do so. To admit that the dispensary is better than the old time licensed sa- . loons is not admitting very much, since it is clear to all intelligent citi- ^ zens that nothing could be worse f, than the saloons. r The people being the source of all ? power, under our form of government, it follows that they are responsible for the laws which govern them. If they license grog shops or establish dispensaries for the sale of alcoholic liquors, and share in the profits of the same, all who favor a such sale must shoulder their share c of the responsibility for the crimes, ^ pauperism and death resulting there- ? from. Therefore every citizen voter, c in order to free himself from guilt, * must vote against the sale asabever- 8 age, and if he loves God supremely k and his neighbor as himself, he must pray for prohibition, and vote as he i)ravs! JL * Prohibition is the only way out of it, for every voter who does not do his utmost by influence and vote to stamp out the traffic, must be held responsible for its existence and all the suffering and misery growing out of the same. But our opponents say that "Prohibition does not prohibit," Well, does the law prohibiting theft and murder prohibit those crimes'? Does any law prohibiting crime entirely prohibit the same? Poor human nature, under the influence of liquor, will violate the best laws ever made to prohibit the commission of crime, and the law to prohibit the crime of selling is no exception?still, you would not be so unwise and impolitic as to say that we should license theft and murder, because the laws we have prohibiting those crimes do not entirely prevent their commission? No; no, mv friend, do not "lend an : ?ar to such sophistry. Listen not i to any such appeals iu behalf of the i greatest curse that ever afflicted hu- i inanity! Our couutrv and our suffer- ; I ing people appeal to us for help! | God smiles upon our efforts tc de- i stroy this infernal traffic, and we ; dare to strike the blow. Citizen. A Grand Feature Of Hood's Sarsaparilla is ihat while it purifies the blood and sends | it coursing the veins full of richness and health, it also imparts new life | > i !- - - .e I ana vigor 10 every xuiicuou ui me | body. Hence the expression so often heard: '"Hood's Sarsaparilla made a new person of me." It overcomes that tired feeling so common now. Hood's Pills are purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, ai ways reliable and beneficial. A Letter from Festus. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Jack Frost isnearathand. Hisicy breath has touched field and forest, rhe sear and yellow leaf with fading lowers tell us that the year is growing old. How strikingly are the season?Spring, Summer, Autumn ind Winter emblematic of youth, naunuuu, uecuyiug prime ami uiu ige! 'Between two worlds life hovers like a star 'Twixt night and morn upon the horizon's verge, low little do we know that which we are How less, what we may be!" But the price of cotton bids us ;ease indulging sentiment. Old jrimes says that he can buy cotton cheaper than he can raise it. But row is he to buy it when, if salt was selling at five cents a sack, he couldn't purchase enough to pickle a grasslopper? Let the debating clubs at each school house, discuss this question luring these long nights. It will present much food for thought. The juery is: If all the available silver should be coined at once at the ratio )f 16 to 1, would it put any more noney into the pocket of the poor nan who has no credit, collateral or thing of value to exchange for money? Without expressing an opinion pro )r con, I feel sure that this and simiar questions fairly discussed will levelop intelligent thought and increase that line of political education so rare among the masses of the people. Our countrymen are much n need of thinking more for themselves without waiting like "dumb Iriven cattle" to accept the thoughts )f others as "pure gold" without paus ng to detect the worthless dross. I lately paid a visit to lower Lexngton where fine fields of corn, peas, ice and potatoes marked the wayside among these, Lexington's most ihrifty people. A day spent in attendance upon Erial Justice Jeremiah ^Vise's court it Oakvilla, will long be held in nemory as another unique specimen )f a country court. W. H. Sharpe )f Gaston and H. C. Patton of Coumbia were present. Each of these sprightly gentleman labored from norn till eve for their clients. Mr. iVise, like all we poor mortals, may lave faults, but it is doubtful vhetlier any other person could more ] airly adjust and evenly hold the scales of justice in a court of this jrade than he does, "Uncle Jerry" j nay err?chief Justices robed in \ :ostly ermine have made mistakes? j >ut his valorous record in war unites rith liis career in peace to charge j hose errors, if any, to the head and 1 lot to the heart. ; The new county of Edisto, which s to split North and "Woodford "wide pen," is very little talked of here. ,'f this unborn baby has a reputed ' :daddy" he has not appeared in these larts to boom or herald the prospecive heir. : e North has one wholesale and retail i uerchant, Mr. Irving Furtick.
