The Lexington Dispatch j Burned April 25th; rebuilt July ' 10, 1801. | G. M. HA KM AN, Elitor and PubVsher. LEXINGTON, 8. WEDNESDAY. JANTAKY :2 1S0G Editor Gantt. of the Piedmont j Headlight, is suffering from Lis old i x?enx.li nn rvfrnt as not 1 lUIJg UUUVIC LU ouvu to be able to write an cdftoilal for bis paper last week. The Headlight man has our sympathies iu bis affliction and our best wishes for bis early restoration to health. We are very much gratified to see that common sense prevailed in the House iu reference to the abolishment of the C.tadel Academy at Charleston. The enemies of this institution of learniug made what was near a successful fight to close its doors against the youth of the State whose inclinations lead them to cultivate and develop their military trait of charac^? t_ i:?Kir vrlian the honor ter. ah uiuico guuv *->j ? of the State was trembling in the balance, in the days which tried men's courage and men from the farm, the work bench, the desk and from be hind the counter, good, true and brave men, even to recklessness, but deficient in military training and the scince war needed instruction that these graduates of the old Citadel stepped into the breach and practically demonstrated that the State of South Carolina had bet n more than repaid for the beggarly pittance that she had expended on their training. In times of peace pre pare for war is an axiom the truthfulness of which has been seen on more than one occasion, and it seems to us that from the experiences of the past and the lights of the future that the Legislature would have acted more wisely had it increased the appropriation rather than to have taken away its small sum to keep it going. The presumption is reasonable that every law abiding citizen in the State of South Carolina would like to see the practice of resoitiDg to lynch law for the punishment of persons guilty of crimes of unusual atrociousness and brutality re legated to the rear as a relic of barbarism. They deprecate the necessity Lr taking the law into their own hands and meting out to the criminal that punishment which in their judgment the crime deserves. They deplore the fact that there is a crime which calls for the severest, t le swiftest, and the surest punishment of the \\.-i lators of the law in order that the chasity of our women may be protected and the purity of society perpetuated. It is to be re gretted, we repeat, that these conditions exists, but they do and with them we have to deal. As long as they do exist men will resort to lynch law. Ik-move the cause and there will no longer remain a necessity for lynching bees. Laws may be enacted without end to punish the crime of lynching, but as long as lynchings have the physical support and moral encouragement of the people, the laws will avail nothing and will become inopperative and of no c fleet This paper is intensely reform in its sentiments. It believes that the principles promulgated at the March convention of 1890 to be as correct now as they were certainly then. Those principles the Dispatch has stood by both in and out of season arid by them it will continue to stand iinHl thov r.racticallv out into X */ L effect or hopelessly and irrevocable defeated. This is our stand and along these lines we propose to fight. This is our platform, simply stated. But we do not propose to swallow everything without question in the name of reform simply because they are fathered by Reformers high in the counsels of the party. For this reason we condemn the proposition to increase the number of Circuit Judges from eight to ten. This, we believe to be entirely foreign to the idea of retrenchment and reform. Persons at all acquainted with the rules and procedure of court will attest to the fact that entirely too much latitude is given to the lawyers in the presentation of their cases. "What farmer, manufacturer or business man would allow an employee to consume a day to perform a given work when the same work could have been as well done in half the time? Yet, who among us have not seen lawyers in our court house, in pleading their cause seemingly have but two objects in view, those oi airing their eloquence for political effect and to consume the time of the court at the expense of the tax payers. Make lawyers understand the value of time in presenting their cases and it will be found that the present number of Judges can expeditiously transact the business of the court and have plenty of time to spend in the bosom of their families. Let this reform be inaugurated and it will nut be long before it will be seen that there is do necessity for an increase of Judges, except it be to provide a soft place for some political henchman.

It even follows her to 1 church, and often goes in to hear the c sermon. She has named it Jack. I ? don't know who after. I Mr. Sifley preached an excellent t sermon at Shady Grove last Sunday, e it being his second sermon at that t ~ 7 I was sorry to hear that fellow had his lap robe eaten up by an old cow ? at the wedding not long ago.

Monday morning eaily we faced le chilly northern winds with the uditor for the three townships of the crk. "We traveled over the new ;t road to Dreher's ferry, but could ot make much headway, or mend nr snail's pace, on account of the Lumps and the otherwise rough conit ion of the road. We found the ferryman at his flat nd in a jiffy we were across and Lirough the fertile valleys of iduda liver and ere-long beneath he hospitable roof of our old riend. Squire Dreher. Here we ict a number of citizens awaiting 1 he arrival of the Auditor and an exeedinL'ly small number for the newsO J I inper mau. After transacting our lusiness and having our pockets nude heavier by the addition of a ew dollars and our spirits lighter hereby, we were invited to par ake of oue of the most excellent Winters that seldom falls to the lot of he average country editor to enjoy. Irs. Dreher certainly knows how to >repare a dinner which will tempt he hckle appetite of a dyspeptic, >ut she surpassed even herself on his occasion and set before us such a [inner the remembrance of which ven now makes our mouth run water 1 nd an empty viod in our stomach , rhich longs to be filled with the good hings from Mrs. Dreher's table. , "With reluctance and regret we reumed our journey to our next ap>ointment at Mr. H. C. Nunamaker's ompleting our business here by reieving the people of what spare ( hange they were a mind to give to ielp keep the press wheel of the )ispatch moving, we retraced a porion of the route passed over in the arly afternoon, on our way to the hriving and business little town of r.no. Reaching the home of the Rev. N. >. Youngintr, we were waimly inited to alight and spend the Digbt >enealh his hospitable joaf. We ac:epted the kind invitat'o 1 and were oon made to feel that we were a ricnd in the home of a friend. Mr. Loungiuer is a Christian gentleman . good farmer and an excellent neigk>e.\ Next d iy at Irmo a large crowd of >eople, both white and black, met us o make their returns and pay their lues to the printer. By hard and distant woik we furnished our busiless well satisfied with the response ? these people to our Macedonian cry or what was due us. We enjoyed an ixccllent dinner with our friend, Mr. Slias Metz, where we are always iiadc to feel welcome by the kind reatment of Mr. Metz and his good ady. Elias is among the most sue essful farmers of the Fork and lives it home and boards at the same ilace. He has agaiu embarked in he mercantile business and Las a lice selected stock of general merchandise. It mo is improving in luildings, ami we think her business s growing slowly. Since our last risit, Mr. John W. Hook has built a leat dwelling and store combined. Fohn is a good feilew and has all the rsilk in the cocoanut, so far as the losiiions are concerned as lie is de:>ot agent, telegraph operator, post naster, etc. He has a nice stock of joods and receives his share of trade Mr. Luther S. Mathias seems to be cauing in the mercantile business, lie carries the largest stock and his facilities, careful management of business will never let him fail. Luther is among the most substaniial citizen of the Fork. Mr. C. W. Bouknight, too, is very populrr as a merchant and enjoys lis share of the trade. He has improved his place with a new dwelling md store house near each other. Mr. S. Iv. Bouknight is the blacksmith of the section and has plenty >f work which he dispatches rapidly md in the most workmanlike mauler. The school is in charge of Mr. ?. ?. , a scholarly gentleman, assisted by Bev. Younginer's oldest sou, and has about fifty pupils. The churches are in charge of able divines >vho are doing good work. Night found us at the spacious and comfortable residence of that popular and clever gentleman, Mr. 1). A. Richardson, of "White Bock. Here ive enjoyed the best fare, and excellent music and singing, lead by Mrs. Bev. S. C. Ballentine, assisted by i Misses Haltiwanger, Kesler, Bichardson, Bev.

Two years ago I had a sore on one of my limbs below the knee. I Spont Many Dollars for medical attendance and treatment but all in vain. At last a friend urged me to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. I told him it would not do me any pood as I had the best of doctors in this vicinity attend me and they said it was a severe ease of eczema. He prevailed upon me, however, to take one bottle and when it was all Hood's 8arsaI Varilla taken I noted a slight improvement. I have R. , now used six bottles ^?3^ and my leg is well, nad it not been for Hood's Sarsaparilla I do not think I would ever have conquered my complaint." J. W. Hindman, Fort Lawn, S. C. Hood's Pills cure all liver ills, constipation, biliousness, sick headache, indigestion. Like him and it is said tj be an excellent teacher. At Spring Hill a number of the citizens of that section met us and soon the Auditor served them and we were Peakward bound. "We registered at the Peak hotel, now kept by Mrs. G. M. Stuck, who certainly knows how to run a hotel. Comfortable rooms, cosey beds, and the table furnished with everything the market affords cooked in the he.-1 style with moderate charges. At Peak Mr. W. H. Sr.ber is a very popular gentleman and the leading merchant. Mr. Samuel Swyge.t-, who has b:e i in the business for sometime, is reducing his stcck at cost. Mr. Bushardt is the ccommo.la ting and polite postmaster, who also runs a small business. Mr. V.'. M. Wilson take cares of stock in his feed and sale stables, and also runs a confectionery. Billie is a clever fel'ow and is good company. Messrs. John C. and George Swygert are among the most substantial citizens of the town, who, for a long lime were the leading merchants of the place, and by frugal management and close attention to business have accumulated considerable money. They are just as clever as ever and arc now only buying cotton. The business at Peak for some cause, for several year- , bas fallen off, but we are inclined, to believe that the place will agaiu be a business town. It certainly Las the county to back it.

Hei son, Pink, assits her in the business, and is one of our cleverest Christian young men. Mr. J. S. Wessinger is the depot agent and telegraph operator and he is delighted with the business. "** i . ? i j1 The last night we spent pieasauuj with our okl, substantial friend, arc as good a citizen as the Fork affords Mr. Josh. Shealy. He is a good farmer and is assisted by his sons and makes plenty of everything. At "NVessingers the last point in the Fork, we met a few people, ai d were glad that there were not many, for we were anxious to get awa\ wiHi snrh a lonnr drive ahead for oui homes and the dear ones there awaiting our arrival. At about 7 o'clock we drove iu. The personal effects of Mr. Levi Anick were sold at his home on Sat urday. The oat crop is looking fine aud there is plenty of corn in the Fork. Monday morning bright and early we turned the head of our horse toward the pleasant and beautiful home of one of Lexington's most genial, enterprising and progressive citizens, and even the instincts of the dumb animal we were driving told Prince that comfortable stables and an abundance of provinder awaited | bim ahead and it was with quickciud steps and bouyant spirits that we made our way to the residence of t'nat whole soulcd, warm hearted old Confederate war horse, Col. D. T. JJarr, the latch strings to whose door hangs always on the outside for his comrades and host of fi lends. It was not long after our arrival before his bind hearted "wife and his beautiful and accomplished daughter, Miss Gussie, were deep in the mysteries of the kitchen evolving from a well filled larder delicious dishes ' ' ? i ? -. o a- n,? lit to set ui'iure a mug, ami uj iuu time we were through with the work which called us there, dinner was announced, and seated a table groaning beneath its load of good things, we abundantly supplied the wants of the inner man until in self defence he was compelled to "cry out hold, enough." Col. 13arr is surrounded by all the comforts and pleasures to make life happy that educated taste could suggest and money procure. He is a lirst class farmer and delights in having everything about him in splendid condition. He raises all his cwn supplies consequently he lives like a prince and is happy and contented. "We wound up the work the day at the pleasant and elegant home of that prosperous and substantial citi zen, Mr. T. J.

J. Griffith. Capt Griffith is one of the most thorough going and progressive business mer of the county; is a model and scien title farmer and believes in making his own supplies. His pet hobby however, is in having nothing bi i the finest strains of the most improved blooded stock, cattle, hogs etc., aud he takes a pardonable piidt in their appearance, comfort and well being. Besides being engaged in the merchantile business, he runs a first class hotel, where the tired and weary traveler can be accommc d ited with the cleanest and softesl beds and the best eating that the markets afford at moderate charges Donly & Sease are the leading j merchants at Lewiedale, and cany j a fine and large stock of gener;! j merchandise.
