TWIHi?- " ? ?1 "" 1 The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July J 19, 1894. " j G. M. 11 ARM AN, Editor and PubPsber. { j LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 189". = I The United States Supreme Court | has dismissed the case of Mills vs. j " Green on the ground of want of jurisdiction. This is the fa xnous case brought by OLe Lawrence P. Mills, through his attorneys, \r?ocT-a Dmirriass & 0 Bear, to %/ *" Q compel Gieen, the Supervisor of Registration for Richland county, to issue a registration certificate to Mills, and to test the constitutionality of the registration law. The case was originally heard by Judge Goff, who, in an opinion which read as if it were written in West Virginia before the case was argued in South Carolina, and had more of the ring of a political stump speech than a deliverance upon a constitutional question, decided against the State. The State appealed from this opinion, and the case was heard by Chief Justice Fuller, and Judge Hughes, or Seymour, or perhaps both, and GofiTs opinion reversed and his injunction dissolved, wheieuponMills appealed to ihe Supreme Court with the result named above. We have never doubted ihe fioal out come of this case when the court of last resoit passed upon it, and nave always contended that the plaintiff had no case, as the law disfranchised no one on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and was not, therefore, in conflict with the Federal constitution. We really do not think that two dollars per day is an adequate com pensation for the members of constitutional convention. We freely admit that the Legislature did wrong in fixing their pay at that figure, yet we submit, as a matter of fact, that the members of the convention Knew oexore tnev even accepted a nomination and were elected, that their salary was fixed by law at the figures named, and hence they should have declined a nomination or accepted in good faith the salary fixed. This talk about the loss of business is the merest twaddle. There was no law compelling them to be a delegate against their wishes. They knew what would be their pay, they had an idea as to the length of time they would be away from their business and they could have certainly estimated their losses by reason of their absence from their business, and if their losses would be too great they should have declined an election. The whole business of the matter is that they did wrong in i '.creasing their pay and no amount | of excuse will relieve the members!" from censure. We are glad to be in j formed that the delegates from this county against the increase, and will take this occasion to say that, with but few exceptions, they voted on all important measures just as we would have voted had we been a member. "We are persuaded from reading . The State that its editor has buried j , his little hatchet and is now smoking j the pipe of peace. Wonders, it j seems, will never cease."?Lexington Dispatch. '*Our George Washington hatchet is still in hand at these pres- , ents. we shali be glad to furnish a , replica to any 'Reform' contemporary j f that needs it."?Columbia State. Rest easy, neighbor, there is not any ^ 'Reform contemporary7 " 'at these J , presents,' that we are aware of, in need j of a 'George Washington hatchet;' if there were anv, however, the State ' < office would be the very last place j on God's green earth that "a Reform contemporary'' would even think of ' looking for a ''George Washington j ? hatchet." The agony is over; the convention ! j has adjourned, and the members have I , shakeD the dust of Columbia from j } their feet. Irby's ten days which i i he prophesied would be the length j of the convention have dragged ? o their weary length along and many ; other ten days have been added ; thereto until months succeeded days, \ and there is no telling how long the convention would have remained in session had it not been that Congress is about to convene and there is more ' money in that for some of the members than there is in the convention. v It will be remembered that one of . the objections urged by The Dis- ! , patch against the formation of new counties that the matter of locating 1 c the county seat would be a fruitful cruse of strife, contention and bit t rness amoDg the people. The dis j graceful fight now going on over the ; location of the county seat of the new county of Saluda, is a strong ar- ? gumerit in favor of the position of 3 The Dispatch, and the-experience of j c those people should be a warning to c those rampant advocates for the . 1 formation of new counties. v The constitutional convention covered itself with glory when it refused 0 to drag the ermine into politics. The ; C judiciary should be placed on a high j I plane and kept there. J Dr Pope, the erstwhile "Reformer, i nore lately an Indcpentdecot of the ; independents, bas.t"jinocT' the Re- j publican party, and, will -perhaps, be j content to feed oil the cru mbs .which I falls from the table of a .Republican j President. This is but an illustration j of the doctrine of retrogression, and j is but following a recognize law of nature in which elements seeks its ! i own level. Tomorrow, (Thursday) is South j Carolina day at the Atlanta Exposition. Many of the members of the constitutional convention, members of the legislature, State officers, the State militia, students of the various nnilnrfoc mid o ln.i*<TA crvntm<?enfc of " o ~ o private citizens will be present to lend enchantment to the scene and make the day a succcsss. St niter Tillman and Gov. Evans will be present and make addresses. Z\Ir. George B. Cromer has been elected President of Newberry College. The mantle of the lamented Holland could not have possibly fallen on more competent and worthy shoulders. A striking likeness of handsome Bob Hemphill adorned the front page of Sundays Columbia Register. This honor was intended as a recognition of the General's gallant fight in behalf of the women suffragists. Hon. John T. Sloan has been elected President of the Gary Monumental Association. An Important 0?ce. To properly fill its office and functions, it is important that the blood be pure. When it is in such a con difion, the body is almost certain to be healthy. A complaint at this time is catarrh in some of its various forms. A slight cold develops the disease in the head. Droppings of corruption passing into the lungs bring on consumption. The only way to cure this disease is to purifj the blood. * The most obstinate cases of catarrh yield to the medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply because it reaches the seat of the disease, arid by puri fying and vitalizing the blood, re moves the cause. Not only does Hood's Sarsaparilla do tbis but it gives renewed vigor to the whole system, making it possible for good health to reign supreme. 3. Happy Marri'.ge. Marriage is always a solemn con tract and yet a weduisg is always a joyous occasion, and the one about which we are going to write is no exception to the general rule. Just as the up passenger rolled up to its little station at BallentineV, Rev. S. C. BalleLtine, pronounced Julius B. Derrick and Anna J. Shealy man and wife. The bride is tie daughter of the late Robert Shealv and the bridegroom is the sou of Mr. Jacob Derrick, once Count? - | Commissioner of this county. Just at 1*2 o'clock on the 21st inst, 4 Miss Lizzie Riddle on the arm of Mr. Julius Eargle marched into the spacious parlor, where a Lost of friends and relatives. were awaiting the bridal party. TLen came Miss Iva Killer on the arm of Mr. FrankLever, following close behind was Miss Minnie Riddle with Mr. Willie Biekley and following in the wake of this couple came Miss Maggie Hipp with Mr. Pat Shealy, and then .came the object of the large gathering: Miss Anna Shealy wearing a lovely tan colored serge, trimmed in silk rnd ribbon, on the arm of her future husband, Mr Bachman Derrick. After the marriage ceremony was ioncluded the party was ushered into the dinning room where a table groaning with all that man could wish in the line of eatables meet ; :heir sraze. Dutch Fork women have ! dways been noted for their skill in j preparing fine dinners and she did I sot lose her reputation by the one | which was set for the friends and j relatives of this happy young couple, j We have never seen the equal. After dinner the crowd dwindled j iway and just as the sun red with j ;lory sunk beneath the western horizon, the festivities of this delightful j occasion ended. May peace, prosperity, happiness md comfort attend this youthful | couple is the earnest wish of, Nov. 21, 1895. Amicus. J Masonic. -A regular meeting of Sinclair Lodge, No. 151, A. F.

The convention practically com pleted the wci k of making Carolina's . organic law last night and took a recess until Tuesday next for th< purpose of ratifying the same.

Our Trial Justices will hereafter be known as Magistrates, as in ye olden times, with about the same jurisdiction as the Trial Justices now have.
