WAYSIDE XOTES
Introductory.
a*
It is with more than ordinary pleasure
and pride that we this week lay
before the readers of the Dispatch,
the growth and development of the
thriving and prosperous town of
Batesburg. Perhaps there is no
other town in all this section of
the State that has made as much
? In ifc mafprijil
progress iu auuiLj, w ?
wealth and prosperity in recentyears
than has Batesburg, certain it is that
none has surpassed it in the display
of energy, pluck and enterprise in
looking after its industrial, commercial
and business interests. Its
growth has been wonderful, having
no artificial facilities, such as competing
lines of railroads and large
manufacturing interests to attract
capital and invite its investment.
"What has been accomplished along
these lines has been done solely by
the individual efforts and remarkable
energy and activity of the business
men.
Situation.
The town is delightfully and
pleasantly situated on the ridge
which is the watershed of the Saluda
and Edisto rivers, on the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta B.iilroad,
about half way between Columbia
and Augusta. For healibfulness the
place cannot be surpaassed by any
town in the State, typhoid and some
of the other malignant fevers are
unknown, and it is said, the truthfulness
of which- sayiDg we do not,
of course, vouch for, that a person
will have to leave Batesburg to die.
Eeautiful Eesidenc s.
This town is noted for the progressiveness
of her people in all
that tends to add comfort and pleasure
to life and to the business of the
town. Many beautiful ana handsome
residences adorn the streets,
which are comfortably and elegantly
furnished. The people are hightoned,
intelligent and of deep Christian
sentiment.
Its Business Interests.
The business of Batesburg is tremendous.
Having one of the finest,
the most prosperous and the most
fertile back countries to be found
anywhere to draw trade from. It is
a No. 1 cotton market, the receipts
last year being something over
6,500 bales; it shipped 95 cars of
melons; over 400 cars of lumber and
25,000 cross tics. The amount of
merchandise for last year, being aD
exeedingly dull one, is estimated in
round numbers at $150,000. The
amount spent on education, including
the colored school, was about
$4,500. The amount spent for
religious and charitable purposes
through the churches, including the
salaries of the pastors, was $2,500.
These figures will give some idea of
the amount of business done in the
town, and it also shows that it is in
a healthy financial condition. It is
true, however, that the town has recently
received a severe blow in the
failure of the Exchange Bank and
the shutting down of the cotton
factory. It is not our purpose to
discuss the causes which led up tj
these failures, suffice it to say that
they were of such a nature as could
not be overcome by any business
forethought, ingenuity or tact. But
the men of Batesburg know no such
word as fail in any business enterprise
they may undertake, and out
of these reverses have come a will
and a determination to make complete
successes of these enterprises,
and already a movement is on foot
for the organization of two banks
with ample capital to place them
above the possibility of being over
taken by financial disaster. The
probability is that, instead of being
but one cotton factory, there will be
two. It is the intention of some of
the business men to organize a company
with sufficient capital to purchase
the mill property at its sale in
March: and another company is being
talked having for of its object the
erection of a new mill to be equipped
with new, fine and improved machinery.
This .is not idle rumor for behind
these enterprise are well known
[business men who mean what they
say and generally succeed in all they
undertake and their is no sufficient
reason why these should fall through
as Batesburg certainly has the capi- I
tal and the business tact to accomplish
anything she undertakes.
Its PopulationThe
population is estimated at
700, and is being constantly increased
by the addition of a desirable
class of immigrants, who are
industrious, frugal and enterprising.
Its Morals.
The morals of the town are second
to none in the Stab*. Long before
the enactment of the dispensary
law, the sale of liquor was prohibited
by municipal ordinance, and the law
was rigorous enforced by the officers
of the town, so that is sale was indeed
and in fact prohibited.
Its ChurchesThe
churches, of which there are
two, are in a prosperous and lirely
_ *L 1 T\ dxr T f-r
spiritual t'ouaiuuu. jl?w..
Herbert is the pastor of the Method
ist church and Itev. T. P. Corr that
of the Baptist, both of whom are
eloquent in delivery, pleasing in address,
profound in theology and of
high Christian character.
Its Schools.
The people of Batesburg tahe a
pardonable pride in the education of
their children. On this subject they
are thoroughly enthused and have
spared neither time nor money in
the employment of competent instructors
and supplying their schools
with the most improved modern apparatus
for the thorough instruction
| of their children. Professor J. A.
i Andrews is the Pr.'ncipal of the
Batesburg High School and is as
sisted by Miss Ella Ballard. Miss
Mamie Meaeham has charge of the
musical department. The Batesburg
Collegiate Institute is presided
over by Josiah B. Game A. B., as
Principal and is assisted by Mrs. J.
B. Game, with Miss Minnie Sloan in
charge of the musical department.
Both schools are in a flourishing condition
and are well patronized by the
town and surrounding country.
The Mercantile Houses.Batesburg
can justly pride herself
on the men who have her business
interest in hand. They are man
of sound judgment, clear perception
and liberal spirit. In all that tends
to the improvement and development
of a place they are energetic and active
in their efforts in turning the
tide Batesburgward, so that she will
receive a portion if not all of the
prosperity which comes this way.

The cause of rheumatism is lactic
acid in the blood, which accumulates
in the joints, and gives the victim such
dreadful pains and aches. Hood's Sarsaparilla
neutralizes the acid, purifies
the blood and thus cures rheumatism.
"Fiveyears ago I had my first attach
of lumbago or muscular rheumatism.

wit 1 <r.ch other in the furtherance of tl e
poke. which had been :ormu!ated and
steulilv pursued hv the Senator from Ohio
and he h ?s the j roucl satisfaction of knovii:g
that he has brought the p irty which lie
so hates to its knees and li.is lived to see
many of his old antagonists enlisted under
its banner t-.iUal Lis feet and acknowledge
his leadership.
"When the Senate met, there was an ac- !
knowlcdged maj >ritv of men open and outspoken
in their determination to stand by
the white metal and who were elected on
that issue. If it the process of debauchery
began. 'Vote according to my will or you
will have no offices.' Vote according to
my will, and it .\our people do uol like it I
will take care of you.' The newspapers
raved and abused the Senate. The bankers
telegraphed and wrote. Chambers ot commerce
j> issed resolutions, and slowly the
Senate 3ejided Iniinttv days the deed
was done and the chains were riveted on
the wrists of the toiliug millions. Did the
raid on the Treasury stop?"
Discussing then the tariff bill which
pasted in the regular session Icliowing. he
said: "It is tine he (the President) did not
sign it, and allowed it to btccmea law without
approval. Bat here aguin we have a
spectacle of cfcarlatuuey and hypocritical
assumption of superiority to his party
which has alvays marked his career. The
tariff law which he repudiated as unworthy
involving 'party perfidy and party dis
honor,'is the sheet anchor to which heelings."
And again, referring to the President,
"it lie was honest at the start (and I am
willing to grant that much) his association
with Wall street and his connection
with v e ihhy men had debauched his conscience
and destroyed all sympathy w i h
the masses."
The St nator then referred to the fall iu
the prices cf farm products. The impoverishment
ot the farmers had destroyed, hesaid,
their ability to purchase 011 the one
taud, v.hile the decreased price of their
products of export in European markets
had left our dibts tor imports and interest
on obligations abroad uu- aid. Hence the
' export of gold to meet these obligations.
I In this connection, he said in part:
; "Rothschild and his American agents
graciously condescend '.o come to the help of
the United States Treasury in maintaining
1 the gold :-ta- dura which has wrought the
ruin and only charges a small commission
of ten millions or so Great God! That
this proud govemmeu', the licLest, nio>t
p >wf rful on the globe, should have been
1 brought to so low a base that a London
? Jew should have been appointed its receiver
i and presumes to patronize us.
, "The responsibility of providing revenue
and looking afitr the solvency of tbcTreasury,
which rests with Congress, has bem
usurped by the President. Why is he not
1 impeached? Because he is carrying cut
' Republican policies and the m jorilyin the
House of Representatives feel safe and bei
Iteve that they are certain to ekct the next
President and obtain control ol the government.
They are willing to load down .he
incompetent or dishonest Democracy, I say
the incompcl n' and dishonest Democ racy,
1 with the odium ol misgoverninsut to lend
1 their h ip by acquiescence in viong doing,
i The policy is to do nothing - to preserve a
; masterly iract.v.ty-and only obstruct
where relief can be given.
"The encroachments of the Federal ju'
i diciary. nod the supinenesa. aud venality?
corrup'ion I may say-of the rtprescnia
tive bra :ches of the government, are CuUtes
i of deep concern to all tldukiug and patri[
otic men. We are f.ist driiting into government
by injunction in the interest ol
monopolies and corporations,' and the
1 Supreme Court, by one corrupt vote, annuls
an Act o' Congress looking to the tax
atious of ihe rich
"The struggle from ISJ1 to 1805, which
drenched thi-t lair land ia blood, was to

year in and year out, the w*i nun stitching
in poverty, hunger and dirt, the men bear
ing their hopeless burdens of debt, all directly
traceable to bad government, wil
not some day have a reckoning."
In concluding the bc-naior said: ' A da}

j longer a just God in heaven, and when il
does come, wo2 be unto those who have
Q been among the oppressors of the people
The piesent struggle is unlcrtunately toe
