tVKT,aT^7<r^t^^i7^?irrrrTyK'^^>'M tatea The Lexington Dispatch ' - J Burned April 25tb; rebuilt July 1 19, 1891. j g. m. HaRMAN, Editor and Publisher. 1 LEXINGTON, S. G., WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 15, 1S8G THE DECENT PASTY. I It is both serious and arnusiug to ! watch the franlie efforts now being; made by the leaders of the g. o. p. to recusitate and clothe the Republican party in this State in the garb of decency, respectability and honesty. Serious, because the indications now are that the Republicans, with the exception of a few Southern States, will sweep this count y in the elections this fall like a cyclone of destruction, carrying the doc trines and traditions of the Democratic party as laid down by its fathers and founders, to disaster and ruin. This activity in the Republican ranks in this State will give just enough color to their claims of fraud in elections, no matter how fairly, honestly and impaitially they may be conducted under the law, as to be annoying and expensive in the event of the success of the National Republican party this fall. No only is this true iu regard to the present activity in the Republican ranks, but the situation becomes more seiious and complicated when we consided the external aud internal strife, division and petty jealousies existing in the ranks of the Democratic party of South Carolina, and the further thought that, even with a united and harmonious Democracy, it is a question as to the voting strength of the two great parties. These conditions are confined not only to the Democracy of our own State, but the rumblings cf political volcanic dissatislation at me policy of the reigning Administration can be heard in every State in the Union. The outcropping of discontent can be seen and felt among the people at the real or fancied mistakes of the leaders of the pai ty. As there are men in South Carolina today, good and true Democrats at heait, whose . loyalty and fidelity to the principles of the party have, prior to IS'JO, been tried in the crucial test of dis- j aster and defeat at a sacrifice of j time and money with no Lope of re- j ward save the conscientiousness of j having been true to themselves, true ; to their State in the hour of her extremity and true to the principles in which they were trained from early infancy up to that year, and who, being led astray in an evil hour by the teachings cf a new, debasing and degrading school of politics whose basic principles in the tenets of belief are that, "it is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven," and "we'll rule or ruiu," would rather witness the defeat of the Democratic party as now organized in this State by a Republican ! ----i. it :i??i.: ? 1 victory, man to see its euunuueu suecess; not by any active participation in movement antagonistic to the organized Democracy, nor an affiliation with its enemies; but by a spirit of indifference and carelessness engendered and kept alive by the advice of disgruntled and disappointed politicians whose influence over thc-rn contribute much to jeopardize tie safety of the party to accomplish their desires. The same conditions exists in the National partv. There are men in the j 1 V Reform wing of the South Carolina ; Democracy who would glory in its defeat in November, if, by that do- ! feat, the downfall of Grover Cleve- j land and the defeat of the policy of j his administration could be accom- ! plisned. These conditions surround the Democratic party, both State and National today; aud while there is an apparently rift in the clouds which have hung like a pall of dark- i ' .1 ness and gloom over our political I skies, and there are seemingly signs ! of returning peace in our j political family, yet to the j careful student of current j events there are indications of a : smouldering hre of a volcano which i needs only the indiscreet word from the leaders of the factions to causa it to develop into an active burning one, belching foith the lava and ashes of crimination and recrimination of greater intensity than that which has heretofore prevailed. Fortunately there i3 a happy medium between I these two warring elements, the true ' aod real conservatives in both fac- i tious, who stand as a strong bulwalk j of defense against the overthrow of the State Democracy on the one hand and the defeat of tire National Democracy on the other. To the patriotic efforts and self sacrificing j 1 1 - I devotion 01 mcse men uepenus ; largely the task of effecting a per- i manent and lasting reconciliation between the factions as will insure the success of the Democracy, and we ; have enough confidence in their patriotism and fidelity to believe that j they will accomplish this. The laughable pait of tbe plan to build up a decent Republican party in South Carolina, is in noticing the characters and motives of the men who have recently deserted theDem- j ocratic ranks to connect themselves with this decent party. They are, generally speaking, men whose hearts rave been soured b}r disapp )inted ambition, whose minds have been warped by del oat and whose patriot bin has been smothered by avarice and jealousy. They are men without political influence and cannot, under normal conditions, command the suppoit of even a corporal's guard of followers; men who would not hesitate to accept office and its emoluments at the sacrifice of honor and principle: men who, like the mushroom, have sprang into notoriety in the marshy bogs of political corruption and debauchery and whose unholy motives have been revealed in fVn-ov frnp .-"film's bv the Iffiht of v""' "wv"*w ~ o truth. And it is out of this stuff and these timbers that it is proposed to clear away the debris of rottenness, dishonesty, debauchery and indecency which characteeized the rule of the Republican party prior to the fall of 1S7G, and from this mas3 of corruption rear a decent party in South Carolina. PEIZ3 E03S. For the purpose of encouraging the farmers to raise their own supplies; the Chaileston News and Courier offered last year three special prizes for the three largest hogs raised in the State, during the year 1895. The contest opened in February 20, at which time the pigs in tended for the contest were weighed, and closed on December 17, when the hogs were weighed, and the hog gaining the most number of pounds of flesh between these dates at the least cost were to be the winners. The r. "f O rtYl QVO (JUJLLieat ? ao II V CI J AlilA i?iauj Act* mv* o intered it with a spirit of friendly rivalry. Master W. J. Richardson of Abbeville takes the first prize, of SSO in geld, his hog, according to the sworn testimony of three disinterested parties, having been born on the 20th day of February, 1S95 and on the 17th day of December in the same year it weighed 591 pounds gross. It was born from a Berkshire sow by a Poland China boar, at a cost of 3? cents per pound, and gained an average of 2 1-98 pounds per day. J. M. Leech of York, won the second prize of ?20 in gold, his bog having weighed on December 17, 529 pound at a cost of 3.1-1, making a gain per day 1 93. Messrs. D. II. F. Man>on, of Edge field and Benjamin Iliott of Colleton are close contestants for the third place. Mr. Manson's hog was born February 18: weighed ou the 20th of February 3i pounds. Its weight on December 17, was -187 gross and cost to fatten it 2.4G cents per pound and gained 1.G1 pounds per day. Mr. Hiott's hog was born January 20 and on February 20 it weighed 15 pounds, December 17 it weighed 318 at a cost of 1 32 cents per pound and gained in fiesh 1.03 pounds per day. The News and Courier will con- I t-inpo if o tffiil f i in "t SQfi T f. will TlflV out 0500 in prizes to the farmers | this year. It believes in South Car- : olina, and in the farmers of South j Carolina. The Columbia Register, in speaking of the ill-timed and venomous remarks cf Col. John C. Haskell about the political situation in South Carolina, in Florida auringhis recent bridal trip, says: t:His slanders of South Carolina j will hurt this State and keep some j business away from it." The Register evidently attaches too much impoitance to the utterances of such men as John C. Haskell. He has been "sized up." and found to be only a small potato. South Carolina has been slandered in eveiy conceivable manner by men of his household of political faith; yet truth has always came to the surface and gloriously triumphed over slander. At no time since 1S90 has the business of the State been seriously crippled. True business has felt the depression, but that depression was general all over the United States, therefore, it cannot be attributed to the political revolution in this State. The facts are that the State has made more progress, been in a better financial condition and attracted more favorable attention from capital from abroad from 1890 up to the present time, than at any time since the war. "We are glad to learn that ex Senator Butler has been provided for by securing a lucrative appointment as attorney for the Messrs. Cramps, the well known firm of ship builders. His office will be at "Washington and his salary is said to be greater than that he received as United States Senator. Notwithstanding Lis defeat last fa!!, General Butler holds a warm place in the love andconfidene of the people of the State, and no man was ever truer to the people and their interest than was Gen. Butler. As a citizen he is upright, patriotic and his acts are governed by the highest sense of honor and integrity; as a soldier, he was the bravest amnncr flip liravr. ever ready to respond to the call of duty no matter how dangerous and fatiguing the undertaking, and as a statesman his brilliant intellect, eloquent voice, graceful manners and pleasing address made Lim tower above Lis fellow statesmen as the giant above the pigmy. T3S LSSISLATUEE. j At high noon yesterday the gavt 1 of the Pre ident of the Se :ate and j that of the Speaker of the House fell | calling the General Assembly of South Carolina to order. But few members of either branch j answered to their names at roll call, j consequently but little business was j transacted. The Governor's message was reI ceived and read in both Houses. We | have not had the time even to glance | at this paper and therefore not pre| pared to comment upon it. Senator Efird introduced a bill to be known as the registration law, and the killing cf bills remaining on the calendars from last session is about all that was done. Gov. Evans, in the report of the Board of Trustees of AVinthrop College for the year, to the General Assembly among other things says: !'Ii is interesting to note from the registration cards that out of 242 definite answers to the question concerning the occupation of fathers, there are in the college the daughters of 131 farmers, 39 merchants, 14 physicians, G ministers, G lawyers, 14 State and county officers, 12 railroad, machine and other agents, 1 cashier, 1 mill manufacturer, 1 mill superintendent, 1 editor, 2 teachers, 1 engineer, 4 contractors, 3 lumber and turpentine dealers, 1 dentist, 1 miner, 1 watchmaker, 1 mechanic, 1 shoemaker. "From 295 definite answers to the question 'of what church are you a membeif we find that there are in the school S4 Baptist, S5 Presbyterians, 74 Methodists, 21 Episcopalians, 11 Lutherans, 9 A. It. Presby terians, 4 Catholics, 4 Jews, 2 Missionary Baptists and 1 Universalist." The bondholders of the Manchester and Augusta Itailroad, a link -in the Atlantic Cost Line, have petitioned the United States court for an injunction against AY. D. Evans, j Henry R. Thomas and J. C. Wilborn, Railroad Commissioners of this State enjoining them from putting into effect the new fertilizer rates proi posed by the Commission. The date for the hearing of the petition has been fixed for February 21. In the meantime the hands of the Railroad Commissioners have been tied by a temporary restraining injunction, and by the time the petition is heard on its merits the bulk of the fertilizers will have been moved. Tiuly the days of injunctions have not passed. ? _ _ If the News and Courier can sucI cced in awakening a spirit of friendly | rivalry among the farmers of the j State in a contest to see who can raise the largest hog, make the big! gest yield of the largest corn, the j greatest number of pounds of cotton | per acre at the least cost, &c., it will j have accomplish a huge but praise woilby undertaking, and will deserve [ the thanks of the entire people of | the whole State, and will have prac: lically demonstrated the truth of its assertion, "That it believes in the farmers of South Carolina. Congress is still in session. The House is discussing the pensicn j.:? i it... question u.uu me otuoiu iuut ui cjxver. While there is great deal of noise being made by the National law makers over these questions, but I little real hard work is being done, but then these poor bard worked men who are devoting their time and energy in the interest of the people must do something to show that they are earning their $5,000 per annum, if it is only to "work their automatic mouths/' In The Beginning Of a new year, when season of close confinement is only half gone, many find that their health begins to break down, that the least exposure j threatens sickness. It is then as | well as at all other times, and with people even in good health, that the i following facts should be rememj bsred, namely: that Hood's Sarsapa| rilla leads everything in the way of | medicines; that it accomplishes the | greatest cures in the world; has the j "largest sale in the world, and reJ quires the largest building in the | world devoted exclusively to the pre| paration of the proprietary medicine, j Does not this conclusively prove, if you are sick, tiiat iioocl s ftarsapanlla ! is the medicine for you to take? 11. I I A Confederate Veteran D-cad. George M. Stuck, a Confederate veteran, died at his residence in the town of Peak on the first day of Jan| uary, 1890. He volunteered in Cap tain Xunamaker's company at the ! beginning of the war, company Jf, i 3rd, regiment. All who knew him j said he was generous, a noble and ! brave soldier. He was severely | wounded at the battle of Savage Stai tion in 1802, from which he became ; a cripple for life. About eight years ! ago he unfortunately got his right | arm caught in a cotton gin which ! caused it to be amputated. He was a consistent member of ! Si. John's Evangelical Lutheran ; church near Hope Station, of which ! he was an officer for many years. He | was a member of Pomaria Lodge No. | 101, A F. M., for over twenty years and he was Tyler at I be time if Lis death; he alto was a member of the town council for many years and was always at his pest of duty. Mr. Stuck was bom J a ninny 13, IS 13, and died January 1st, 189(3, making Lis age nearly 53 years. He leaves a widow, nine children and a host of friends to mourn Lis untimely loss. He was buried in the family grave yard at his father's old home with i masonic honors. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. AY. L. Darr, who delivered an excellent sermon, his text being selected to suit the occasion, which can be found in the book of Amos, iv chapter and the latter clause of the 12th verse. "When the messenger of death came he was perfectly resigned to leave this troublesome world and cross over the river whence no traveler never returns. W. M. W. Peat, S. C, January 5th, 189G.
