The Lexington Dispatch Earned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. ^G. M HaRMAN, Editor and Publisher. I 0 LEXINGTON, S. C., . V WEDNESDAY. APBIL 17. 1893. Dr. and Lawyer Samps Pope has broken out in a new place. This time he proposes to carry the Dispensary Law into the United States Cn'i-fo TKo fpafs of this VVUi ic. Aiiv I**-* v w - renowned artist in the political arena J are truly marvelous and genuine ^ breath snatchers. The ex'iil ition he is pow making of himself only shows to what extremes the passions and prejudices of men can rule their tempers and judgment. Poor Pope: how the mighty have fallen! .g. Senator Tillman, says an exchange, has accepted an invitation to deliver the address on the occasion of the laying of the- corner stone of the new brick school building at Micanopy, Fla., on the 8th of next month. ? n Ml I A a londa paper says mat mere win be 5,000 persons to bear him. Senator Tillman is earning for himself a national reputation as an orator and ( is lestined to be a brilliant leader of men. "We are expecting to hear great things of him when he takes his seat in the Senate Chamber at g Washington. The management of the Cotton States and International Exposition, which opens in Atlanta, September 18, and closes December 31, proposes T to have a day for the reunion of the Grand Army and the Confederate b veterans, at a time most convenient is fcbr both, and the occasion will be b one of great interest. The fi ^MKiin? of the Chickamauga National o rftrk on the 19th of September, will n (Bring thousands of veterans South h and it is hoped that at some date ii close to that time a Blue and Grav s day may be fixed. d Columbia is making a laudable ef- a k*?? foit to raise not less than $3,000, p which is absolutely necessary to keep s the State Fail* in that city. An ad- 0 dress has been issued signed by such y hwell known and progressive citizens y as Dr. A. X. Talley, Messrs. W. A. h Clark, W. T C. Bates, W. G. Childs, f. A. C. Haskell and Ed. "W. Robertson, I urging the people to subscribe this j c amount at once. >v e nope mat tnem r efforts will meet with success. Co- e HR lumbia^Jbeplace for the holding v from con- j P^Sith blow to the As^^raon. "What are our people doing toward p having this county represented in r, the State's exhibit at the Atlanta {] Exposition? Other counties in the p State are moving in the matter and c are organizing with a view of going g to work in a systematic manner in p order that the best results might be accomplished. Is it possible that sj Lexington county is to be allowed to c be unrepresented in this grand op- tl portunity to show up the unlimited tl resources of the State? We think ^ not. We hope not. Would it not fc> be a good idea for those gentlemen g appointed by Governor Evans for jr this county to meet and appoint b< committees in the different sections Q of the county to look after the work of C getting up exhibits. We only throw ai this out as a suggestion. tr 0j One of the best solutions for the tl accomplishment of a restrictive ol elective franchise is that suggested 0 by an unknown writer from the Pee p Dee section some time ago. fa His idea, as well as we can re- c< member, is to allow every person, ex ti those disaualified for crime, a ri ?tr * vote, and then have additional votes tt based on a property qualification, sj This, in our judgment, assures white tc supremacy and at the same time b' does not conflict with the constitu- p: tion of the United States as it does ei not disfranchise any one on account ri of "race, color or previous condition t< of servitude." Each person is en s; titled to one vote, then if he owns one hundred dollars' woith of property b he is entitled to another vote; if $500, C three votes; $1,000, four votes, and si so on. The adoption of this plan t! would only be carrying out the great o: American idea of taxation with rep- o: f o f 1 r\T\ Jq 1co^juv?w*vju. ? tl Spring Tims r.

'x> the Editor of the Dispatch: You may be tired, but the free ridge^eross the Congf ree is a living .sue, that will not die, and that will e decided by the people in the near ature in favor of the free passage f all persons; and thus will they reiove the Chinese wall that so much inders the free trade and civilizing ifluences resulting from au unretricted communication between the ifferent sections of the country, .'his toll gate stops every person, and tax must be paid before they can roceed?a subject for remark bv trangers generally. Mr. Editor, no ne understands all this better than ourself, hence, I feel sure that you rill yet awhile kindly indulge an :onorable discussion, if it be free rom personalities and irrelevancies. n all I have yet said I have tried tc onfine myself to the issue and tc espect the feelings and opinions oi very person, and not an unkind rord or discourteous personality has et fell from my pen; nor have I shol be end, and I am instructed not tc eply to anything irrelevant, or that viTT-JfoT ic ocliomorl r>v nfrnir? fn Li Vx TT i IbLi JkmJ *>* w*** ?*v? wv lace bis name to. The following, ulled from the "free bridge act", is iven for the information of the taxayers and voters: Sec. 1. "The County Conamisioners of Lexington and the City kauncil of Columbia are hereby auaorized to contract provisionally for ae purchase of either or both of the vo bridges near the city of Columia known as the Broad and Conaree river bridges: Provided, [that i case both bridges cannot be ought for such price as the said ounty Commissioners and City ouncil of Columbia shall deem fair ad reasonable then they may conact provisionally for the purchase t the one that can be bought, and le erection of a new bridge in place : the one that cannot be bought, r if neither of said bridges can be urchased at such price as is deemed iir and reasonable, a provisional )Dtract may be made for the erecon of new bridges over both said vers: Provided, further, that should ie said County Commissioners and lid City Council deem it inexpedient > purchase or erect bridges over oth said rivers, they may contract rovisionally for the purchase or -ection of a bridge over one of said vers: Provided, further, that the )tal cost shall not exceed fifty thoumd dollars. Sec. 2. Before such contract shall ecome binding the Board of County bmmissioners of Lexington shall abmit such provisional contracts to le qualified voters for ratification r rejection: Provided, a majority f the actual resident male freeolders on the south side, and one tiird on the north side of Saluda iver to be ascertained from the ooks of the Auditor, shall first petiion for the call of such election, and ,-hen the resident male free holders hall have signed the petitions as bove stated then the County Com rissioners shall order elections to be eld specifying the time and pur ose of the election; to be held at the ;sual voting precincts, conducted by hrce managers who shall serve withut compensation. Notice of elecion shall be published in one newsiaper for one month prior to such lection, in all of which notices the mounts to be paid for said bridges hall be stated. At such election no dditional registration shall be reuired, but voters shall possess all ther qualifications now required by T~ ~ ! law for voters at general elections. | In case a majority of the ballots cast I shall have the words "for free bridges'' written or printed thereon the county shall he held to have voted in favor of the purchase or erection of said j bridges, otherwise they shall be held j to have voted against the same; Pro- j 1 tliof. flip vntp sn taken shall be I j constructed as applying only to the j question of the purchase or erection of j said bulges. If the city of Colurni bia shall vote in favor of two thirds and the county of Lexington onethird of the amount agreed to be paid for either or both of said bridges according to the amounts specified, j shall also vote in favor thereof, the | contract so previously entered into I shall be affirmed as to either or both of the said bridges, accordingly as the vote may be; otherwise it shall, be void. Sec. 5. The said bridges shall stand pledged as security for the payment of the principal and interest of the debt incurred for their pur chase or erection respectively. Sec. G. The election for the purchase of or erection of the Congaree or Broad river bridges shall be independant of each other. Sec. 7. In case new bridges are built no part of the price shall be paid on either until the same shall have been completed according to contract and accepted by the County Commissioners of Lexington and the City Council of Columbia." As will be seen the Act fixes $50,000, as the maximum amount to be paid for both bridges, but the act also Drovides that the City Council of I ---- - J.- Columbia and the County Commissioners of Lexington county may offer the owners of th*e bridge or bridges such price as they may deem fair and reasonable, and if such offer is accepted then a provisional contract is entered into, with terms, but in case the bridges cannot be bought for such fair and reasonable prices then a provisional contract is entered 1 into for the erection of new bridges over one or both the said rivers. These provisional contracts with i amounts and terms will be advertised ' for one month in the notice of election 1 by the Board of County Commissioni ers, thus enabling every voter to cast i his ballot intelligently. If the peol pie confirm these provisional con< tracts then we shall have the brigdes free, if not, why let us always will> iQgly yield to the mandates of the > people. ' Brookland, April 15, 1895. I (To be continued.) Kerristin, of Bolan, Worth Co., Iowa, , who had been troubled with rheuma, tism in his back, arms ana shoulders ; read an item in his paper about how ! a prominent German citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He pro! cured the same medicine, and to use his own words: "It cured me right ud."' He also says: "A neighbor j and bis wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy was over to my house and said they were so bad he had to do the cooking. I told him of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and how it had cured me, he got a bottle and it cured them up in a week. 50 cent bottles for sale at Julian E. Kaufmann's drug store. School Closing. Closing exercises of Miss Estelle Langford's school at Cherokee Academy. Miss Estelle said the chidren did not have months for preparation, but thought there were oratorical talent in the school that would interest the visitors. The children had from one to five speeches a piece. | Some were so interesting that I would like to have had them repeated. Miss Estelle held up a beautiful i e - il. . i i. 11 j cam as a prize ior me nest speuer. i Mr. Milton Kyzer won it. The clerk was called on to make an address, lie spoke of Education being lasting, and the difference in education. The power of habit, and concluded by comparing people to flowers. Miss Estelle made a witty address. Said it made her sad to look in the j faces of her pupils feeling it might j be the last time, tut told them of the grand possibilities, should they work and persevere. She brought | up many of our statesmen andinvenj tors to prove that destiny depends j on determination. After school was dismissed the | music of the Kyzer string band got j so lively that a couple of little boys began to tip the fantastic toe, which j must have made the clerk think of j Bishop Galloway's moral on lizzards i dancing, for he soon rapped for j silence, and said, the trustees are ! now ready to given Miss Estelle, j right and title for the balance of the j fund due, school district number six, | which she has justly won.

Our town is all agog now, ihe arriral of the machinery for the factory the putting of it up, the advent of the Superintendent and his assistant, have combined to enliven us, even in the midst of these unusually dull times, and we trust with the hum of the wheels, ushered in an era of prosperity that have not been felt for a long time. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the cotton mill was recently held. The reports of the officers Col. J. H. Huiet President and Doctor E. C. Ridgell Secretary and Treasurer, were submitted, which showed hard work and great effort to further the interest of the enterprise. President Huiet asked to be relived of the duties as in addition to his other business that of President of the cotton mill was more work than one man should do, and tViprpimnn Dr. E. C. Ridcell was elected President of the mill. The Doctor is well fitted for the ardu'ous labors of the position, he is giving it every possible moment and his work in Philadelphia, Lowell and Augusta has proven his capacity for the position thrust upon him. Capt. W. I. Woodward of Atlanta, Ga., has accepted' the position of Superintendent and his vim and evident ability has impressed all that the proper selection was made. Mr. Ballard, his assistant from Griffin, Ga., has also arrived. The weather of late has had great variety, wind, sunshine and ram all in profusion, cotton planting and farm work of all descriptions is being pushed vigorously. The wife of Rev. N. G. Cooner, is much better. She has been exceedingly ill for several weeks. Ralph Hartley and Graves Cooner, have returned from Furman University, aud are lookiug after the farm. Miss Gardner has come back from Baltimore. Lee Gunter leaves for Poughkeepsie N. Y., today. The Baptist is still without a pastor. Rev. Mr. Pearcy of Leesville, preached for them last Sunday and administered the communion. The public debate at the Institute building last night was a brilliant affair. The schools are progressing finely, a^d this is truly a centre of educa tion. Justice Kite's court is becoming famous for big casts.

Your readers will doubtless be as * - * tomshed to bear ot our oar. so iew people in Lexington realize the magnitude of Batesburg that I am tempted to give you a small write up of our town in the near future. We have twenty stores, cotton factory, canning, two large mills and gins, three lawyer residents and five practicing physicians; a population of about a thousand souls. We have been visited of late by Revs. Givens, Dixon, Pearcy, Boozer and Hall and of lawyers, Col. W. H. Folk and E. H. Folk, S. McG. Simpkins of Edgefield, Senator Efird, Col. J.

In one week from the time I took the first dose I began to feel like a new man. I kept on using it for some time and I am entirely cured. I have no symptoms of chronic catarrh whatever.

It looks like a pity to ruin good timber in such away, yet it is for man's good and he has to live. After the resin is extracted it is usu- ( ally sawed, thus giving to its owners full value. What will our friends do when the timber gives out? After working hard all the week we attend church on Sunday to hear the gospel proclaimed and to learn i of the meek and lowly Jesus in the F Sabbath school. You ought to hear E us singing in the Sunday school! Both young and old open their ^ mouths and let come what will.

If you want to hear some good music just come clown to Boiling Spring church some Sunday.
