Of the news of Lexington comity
The Dispatch is the herald in bounty;
Of churches and schools, farm and bridges,
The news in general of all the ridges.
Valleys and plains she doth ever proclaim.
Black and white, yet always read all o'er.
He who reads her pages need read no more
To glean the news from the hills of sand,
To where the rocks and clay are not in demand,
So complete is her mission cf mercy.
Spotless and pure now are her pages,
Dott'd here and there w:th thep^nof sageF,
Fit for both the youcg and old to read;
May they from sin and folly ever be freed,
Always teaching the way of rightandgood. i

Balmy Spring?School Entertainment.
?
To the Editor of theD.'spatch.
The warm b;_lmy days have come
and all nature seems to rejoice at the
approach of spriDg. It is indeed
pleasant to stroll out on these beautiful
spring mornings and behold the |
fresh tinted flowers which have been
painted by the rays of the sun, and i
to hear the songs of the beautiful
birds as they skip from tree to tree
warbling their melodious lays of j
love and friendship, .welcoming the
approach of spring once more. In-1
deed it is grand and inspiring to j
stroll out in the afternoon, as Sol is .
descending behind the western hori- j
zon, shedding his last, faint, golden
rays on mother eaith, telling us to i
prepare for the night's repose. All
this brings to our memor}' that our !
life is a day and that we have a work
to do.
The public schools throughout our j
community have been in progress
since last November. For the past
three or four weeks several have
out and gone into spring quarters, i
About three weeks ago the school at
Boynton academy taught by Mr. :
Tyrone Sturkie came to a finis.
During the same week Mr. Reister j
closed his at Sharpe's Hill. Miss
Gertrude Geiger, who is an
Gaston, under the tutorage of Miss
Belle Martin, has stopped also. But
the one that I have under consideration
Mr. Editor is that one at Athens, !
taught by Mr. W. B Fallaw. This j
school has been in successful operation
ever since last July. Mr. Fallaw,
is a model young man, a j
Christian gentleman and a wide iwake
teacher. He graduated attheLeesville
college in '92, and entered Furman
University in the fall of '93.

and went b^ck home last June and !
took the school for the time during
his vacation. But long before the
time had expired the trustees and j
patrons secured his services for eight
months. He worked faithfully and
diligently and built up a first class
school. This has registered one ;
hundred and four during tne eigni
months session. The work of this
school closed out on the oth instant,
and the closing exercises took place
on the 6th following. The .program
was very artistically and tastefully
arranged for the occasipn, the details
of which will be impossible to
give in this brief notice.
On the appointed time and according
to previous arrangments the
school met at the church near the
school house and formed a line of
two columns deep and marched up
the public road and down a private
one accompanied with music appropriate
for the occasion. The choir
then joined in singing "Work for
Jesus". The program was successfully
carried out, which was highly !
instructive and entertaining. Music
was furnished by lccal talent wbicb
was melodious and grand. Mr.
Perry Goodwin was organist, assisted
by ethers.
The exercises of the school being
over, the invited speakers for the occasion
were called for. But owing
to some necessary business which
they had to attend to, they failed to
put in an appearance.
The prizes and the treat was . next
delivered the students. The successi
ful contestants were: Class No. 1, |
Master Clarence C. Craft. Class No. {
2, Miss Lillie I. Fallaw. Clas3 No. j
3, Miss Miss Maggie Harsoy.
After a handsome treat had been i
delivered to each student, Mr. Fal- j
law came forward with some very
appropriate remarks, saying: ';These
exercises have been carried on by the
school all together, but now we have
come to that part of our program in
which we can all take a part. Net
only the school boy and girl, but the
youDg lover with her beau, the old
bachelor with the old maid, the
widower and the widow. AVe have
a goodly number of cakes brought !
here by the friends and patrons, and
J
everybody get a partner and win a
cake.'' This was a very enjoyable
exercise, and after walking for sometime,
the cakes were distributed
among the large crowd which had
assembled. All partook and seemed
to be dissatisfied and enjoyed the occasion.
The crowd was then thanked
very kindly by the teacher, who expressed
a hope that all had enjoyed
the occasion, and in response came
many echoes "We certainly have en
joyed it." The trustees and patrons
expressed their desire to have Mr.
Fallaw promise them that he would
teach another school for them at
Athens.
I will just say, Mr. Editor, that
this was a pleasant and enjoyable occasion.
It did credit to both teacher
and student. The patrons and trustees
were surely fortunatejn securing
the services of such a teacher.- With
such teachers in our primary schools
the future welfare of our country is
invi table.
The students have made much advancement
in their mental training.
"While mental part of the student
has been developed, the spiritual
part has not been neglected.
I am glad to know, Mr. Editor,
that this subject of morals
in the common schools has taken
hold on the parents to a certain extent.
The parents and friends of
the students are beginning to realize
that the mental part developed and
cultivated and the other neglected,
that man or woman's life is a failure.
I long to see the day, Mr. Editor,
that the rooms in our common schools
will be occupied by Christian young
men and women. May each one of
us realize the fact that life means
something and live accordingly.
We Hope that the mental development
and the moral training
that the student has received in this
school may have a lasting influence
and do good. May those students
who have been entrusted to the care
of Mr. Fa$&w:s guidance wield their
influence for the good and the right.

had. There are so many things
about the plating business that I did

I commenced to make money. The
Royal Plater it sent by this house
and all the made secrets connected
with the plating business, such as
are necessary in the great gold and

As soon as I got the Royal Plater I
made money right along. Last week
I cleared $72.50, and everybody is
delighted with my work. Anyone
who has had trouble with their plating
machines, as I have, should serd
to the above firm and obtain their

The Value of Prayer.
The value of prayer net often is
fUedin dollars and cents, but a
Texas farmer is credited with such
an operation. The story is told by
Rev. S. H. Thrall, one cf the pioneers
of Methodism in Texas. I", company
with a number of itinerants who
were on their way to conference, Dr.
Thrall stopped to spend the night
with an old farmer. It was the custom
then to settle the bill at night,
so that they might rise at 3 o'clock
and ride a good way before breakfast,
and lie by in the heat of the

of the party, said to tbe old
farmer after supper:
"We are a company of Methodist
preachers going t) conference. If
you will get the family together we
will have prayers with you."
After prayers cue by one settled
his bill. Dr. Thrall's turn came, and
he asked for his bil'. The old farmer
replied:
"Well, pa'son, I charged tbe rest
25 cents, but bein' as you prayed for
us so good, I won't charge you but
20 cents."
The brethren had the laugh on Dr.
Thrall for offering up only a five
cent prayer.

! Handwriting cf God in the Gov-:

[The following remarks are a part
! of an article which appeared in the
j Dispatch of last week over the sigj
nature of Col. D. J. Kootts. Cu
{ account of the length of the article
; I thought it best to divided it and
I ?i-- A i.;_i?
j maae iwo aruuies, espeuituij us turn j
could be done without breaking the j
connection?Editor Dispatch, j
I have thought it would be no vio- J
lence to the situation and have decided
to write a few articles to the
Dispatch for your consideration, on
the Handwriting of God in the Government
of Men, and in doing this
will make the articles short and to
the point.. I will commence with
the Egyptain and Assgrain kingdoms
till the downfall of the Roman Empire.
I will notice the different kingdoms,
their rise, fall and causes from
the inspired writings. Will examine
Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's
dream. The explanation which Daniel
gave to the king of Babylon and
? !
rue ainerent governments wmuu
Daniel said would rise and be destroyed
till the Roman; in the midst
of whose kings the Christ was to be
born. God's objects in these different
governments and the causes of
i
their overthrow will be considered.
We will see how God used Cyrus
and Alexander and Caesar to fnrther
his purposes, while the they
thought they were furthering their
own interests all the way through.
We will see that Alexander's career
was marked out hundred of years
before his birth and so with Caesar
and Cyrus. We will see how the
Greek was used as lawgiver
and educator. How the Jew was
used in his wonderful history and
what a great part he has played in
the world's history in all these kingdoms.
A steady step towards a preparation
for the Christ the Savior was
all the time ahead and the world's
advancement to receive the law of
morality, virtue and religion. I
should lika to trace the Anglo-Saxon
and his eventful pilgrimage and show
Jpfeow wonderful it has been. .
T tendency ' aff11 nlife111 UlM1
peeiallv so with the Saxon.
We will see that revolutions
have frequently taken a different
direction from the aim intended by
the human agency and man has been
made to elevate and advance his fellow
man in a way little dreamed of
ond in the end men have had much
less to do with revolutions than is
generally imagined. We will see

' To the Editor of the Dispatch:
i Owing to the scarcity of time and
o ?>
j waiting to see what the bridge com'
I rnittee had accomplished with their
j petitions, I have been absent from
I these dear old columns for a couple
of weeks. But I fail to see anything
from the committee. I guess they
have not got as many signatures as
' I they expected.
Maj. Koon says he will not reply
i to my article, published on the 20th
i ult., until I come out over my own
| true name. I claim the right to discuss
the free bridge through your
colums over my ^ficticious name of
"Andy'' that he claimed to discuss
1 political matters through the Begisj
ter over the name of "Jay H. Ivay,"
' in 1S94.
As to my assertions being boyish
I and prompted by a vain desire for
1 cheap notoriety, let that go for what
it is worth. Many folks in this
country get to be men and have a
> man's idea a great long while before
they have to put stuff on their hair
; | and mustache to make them black.
I I am sorroy he has declined the dis
i cussion, and will say unto him al|
ways do unto others as you would
t have them do unto you.
[ A word^^hevoters and my fel
remember if the Congaree bridge is
made free, which some is so schemingly
planniDg for, it will be a burben
of taxation for us to bear forever,
and it becomes our duty, if the
election is held fo: eac' a d every voter
to go promptly to the polls with the
love of our county and our own
special benefit, and vote it down, for
such an investment is detrimental to
our county. I have clearly shown
you that it is not beneficial and therefore
it will not be advisable for us to
invest anything in it.
Mr. Editor, please accept my
thahks for the kindness shown me
in the publication of my articles,
and I can assure you that the dear
old Dispatch will ever be a welcomed
in my house.
Kindly, your friend, Andy.

source to outfall it has a total descent
of 334 feet, but the greater
part of the fall occurs within a distance
of 7 or 8 miles, beginning with
the rapids, 2 miles, above the great
falls, which received their name?
Niagara, meaning the "thunder of
water"?from the aborigines. Their
roar, under favorable circumstances,
may be heard at a distance of 15

The water flows on perpetually
the same, full and clear; neither the
snows of winter nor the evaporation
of summer, neither rains nor drought
materially affect it?excepting that
about once in every seven years there
is a gradual rise and fall, which is
attributed to some undiscovered disturbance
that effects Lake Erie.
"Of all the sights on this earth of

i
Paper Currency in Many Respects *
Superior to Metal. 1
<
{
Iu view of the fact that the money (
power is concentrating all its ener- <
gies to secure the destruction of the <
greenbacks, it may be well to read
the following extracts from a speech j
of John C. Calhoun of South Caro- '
lina, delivered in the United States j
Senate during the panic of '37-38: ]
uWe are told there is no instance <
of a government paper that did not
depreciate. In reply I affirm that ;
there is none, assuming the form I
that I propose, that ever did deprc- ;
ciate. Whenever a paper receivable i
in the dues of a government had any- 1
thing like a fair trial it has sue- ]
ceeded." I
' It is, then, my impression that in j j
the present condition of the world, a <
? rv\ a f rvt?TY? 1 O ol_
paper currency m oumc mu ^ i
most indispensable in financial and 1
commercial operations of civilized and <
extensive communities. In many
respects it has a vast superiority over
metallic currency; especially in great
and extensive transactions?by its
greater cheapness, lightness and the
facility of determining the amount.
It may throw some light on this subject
to state that North Carolina, just
after the revolution, issued a large
amount of paper. It was also made
a legal tender, but which of course
was not made obligatory after the
adoption of the federal constitution.
A large amount?say between $100,000
and $500,000?remained in circulation
after that period, and continued
to circulate for more than
twenty years, at par with gold and
silver, with no other advantage than
lvHnrr in the revenue of the
a vvv* i - ? ?
state which was much less than
$100,000 per annum.
' No one can .doubt that the government
credit is better than that of
auy bank, more reliable, more safe.
Why, then, should it mix up with
the less perfect credit of these institutions?
Why not use its own credit
to the amount of its own transjptions?
Why should it not be safe in fts own
slitutions, scatterec^HBBii^^Kum
try, and which have no other object
but their own private benefit, to increase
which they extend their business
to the most dangerous extremes?
And why should the community be
compelled to give G per cent discount
for the government credit, blended
with that of the bank, when the superior
credit of the government could
be furnished separately without dis
L'UUIit) IU tliC mutual auiauta^w ua
the government and the community.
"But whatever may be the amount
that can be circulated I hold it clear
that to that amount it would be as
staple in value as gold and silver itself,
provided the government be
bound to receive it exclusively with
these metals in all its dues, and that
it be left perfectly optional with
those who have claims on the governi
ment to receive it or not."
| "We are told," he stated later on,
| "the form I suggested is but a repe|
tition of the 'old continental money,'
; a ghost that is ever conjured up all
| who wish to give the banks and exI
elusive monopoly of government
| credit. There is not the least analogy
between them. The one is a
promise to pay when there is no revenue:
and the other a promise to receive,
in the dues of the government,
i when there is abundant revenue/'

i to save the largest and best heads of '
j sorghum for seed, and are not carej
ful to plant each kind bj itself. One
I reason of this is that many depend ;
j on getting their seed from their |
j neighbors and are glad to get any
j kind that they can, here a little and
i there a little, and very often get
j very inferior seed. To get the largj
est and best seed, sorghum should j
; be planted in four feet rows and two J
j feet in the row, tbin to one to two I
I stalks in a hill, then hoe twice and ;
! plow three times, and you will have j
| a crop that will surprise you.
Honey Drops and Orange are per- j
J haps the best varieties that are raised,
j They are very much alike; the former
! it is claimed, makes the best syrup
! and the latter the most of it. Iledj
top makes the most seed, but does
j not make as good feed for scock.
! Sorghum seed for feeding is worth
ibout twice as much as com, bushel
tor bushel, and land that will make
;wenty bushels of corn per acre will
make from forty to fifty bushels of
3orghum seed, with same manure ard
cultivation. Sorghum will stand a
lrouth much better than corn and
will make a good crop when it is so
3ry that corn will be nearly a failure.
Do not waste land and time planting
oilo maize, Jerusalen com, etc.
rhere are none of them half as good
is sorghum for feed, and you cannot
make molassess from them, it is
worse than nonsense to plant them.
A word or two about making up
pour sorghum may not be amiss. In
the first place, do not cut it too green
and in giinding always have from
30 to 100 gallons of juice ahead, so
that it has a chance t6 settle. Put
lime water in the juice to neutralize
the acid. Let the juice boil slowly,
and then if flavored with vanilla or
other flavoring extracts that may
suit your taste, you will find that the
['long svteetnin'" is not so bad.?C.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, thinks
the present exodus of negroes from
the South to Africa will increase rapidly
in proportions, and he believes
that the time will soon come when
the government of the United States
will take the matter up officially and
aid in their deportation.
"Africa," he said, is discussing the
question, "is the natural home of the
negro, and a majority of them desire
to return to that country. They can
not be blamed for entertaining that
wish, for there is nothing in this or
any other white man's country for
the African race. Sufficient time
has elapsed since the slaves were
emancipated to demonstrate the
white man's superiority in all walks
than servants."
Senator. Morgan also asserted that
a large majority of the white population
in the South would prefer to
have the negroes go
''It is certain," he said, "that many
oH&e planters, the owners of large
ps? cations, prefer to have them re"
u-.au, for the reason that they favor
their labor in comparison with a ccrfoin
nf whitAQ hnt this plAmpnt
is in the minority, and the poorer
whites and the professional classes
in South prefer to have the negroes
sent away. The poor man does not
want his competition, and all classes
object to negro equality in political
affairs, as all feel that they stand
directly in the way of securing a more
desirable class of residents, by preventing
immigration. Furthermore,
if i? rwif frnp. as sppms to he sun
posed, that only negroes can do the
labor in the Southern States, an assertion
which is substantiated by the
fact that the cotton crop of this country
has increased from a little over
3,G00,000 before the war to 9,000,000/'
The Senator expressed the opinion
that Congress would take the problem
of exporting the negro in hand
at no distant day, and said that

The Backward Child.
Margaret E, Sangster.
The backward child may indeed be f|
deficient in application, not in capa- W
sity. Should this be so, arouse him, ^
not by a hail storm of nagging or a
downpour of fault finding, but by a .
system of rewards lovingly adapted A
to his disposition and character. JH
Suffer no discouragement to creep fg
into your heart concerningjnm, and JS
not allow him or her to feel that |ffl
there is reason for any doubt about
the reaching the top o^ ihe ladder
in due season. The top, mind, not ai
the middle rounds; any one cen JS
reach these. Set a definite aim be- ? -AS
fore your child, cultivate a high and
noble ideal, but be willing to climb i
slowly. Haste is at the root of
many a 'silure, haste begets a lack of
thoroughness as one goes on.
With a tender regret for lost opportunities,
who has not sometimes
seen a mature woman timid, self-coi
scious, handicapped from youth to
gray hairs simply because she was a
"backward" child once, and therefore
was snubbed and ridiculed, and
pushed into the background, while !
her sisters and brothers bore off the i
honors and were the objects of uni- 1
versal estimation? A wrong for life ^M
was done to the little daughter, an^^dBnfl
her daughter may perhaps suJ^HHBBH
from the same old mistake^^HjH^HB
wrongs are far reaching. Be pitit^^BH^B
and just to the backward child SHD
your home.
A Novel Remedy!
"Oh, did I tell you about the way
we settled ail elegant admirer who ?j
sat opposite us in the street cart"
asked one of a group of girls who Jgflj
were eating ices in a Woodward SH
avenue cafe.
"No, never; do let us hear it," was jfljB
the interested answer. -?JHfi

myself, and he sat on the opposite
seat and tried to hypnotize us." v a

"Well, what good did that do?"
"Why, don't you know, girls, you
can always embarrass a man by looking
at his feet. And we stared and
stared, and be began to fidget and
tried to tuck them under the seat of
the car, and then he couldn't bear it
a minute longer, and he rushed out
of the car, and were saved."
"We'll remember the remedy,"
said the girls, as they finished their
cream, "the very next time any iii^yg?ir ninii^^

And they will find that it works 1
like a charm every time. 1
The Age for Marrying. -1
Chicago Rec ord.
"If things keep on this way we
won't have aDy grandfathers and
grandmothers in fifty years,'' observed
a man who had been running
his eyes along the list of "marriage
licenses."
"Look here, in this list of thirtyfour
licenses, all but two of the men
are more than 22 years old, and all
but two of the women are above 18.
It would seem that the average age
of a groom these days is 30, while
the bride is but two or three years
younger.''
He ran over the ages and found
that the average age of the groom .
was 28 and of the bride 27. '
"Now, what does that mean?" he ^
continued. "A man does not marry ^
until he is 30. If he has sons and
daughters they will not reach the
marrying age until he is at least 60,
and if he hopes to see his grandchildren
grow up he must live until he
is at least 80 or 50. ,
*'In the country where I was born
people married youDg, and it wasn't
uncommon to have grandmothers
who were less than 40 years old.
But if 30 is to be the marrying age
in Chicago we will at least have to
get along without great-grandmoth
