The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Julv | 19, 1894. j G. M. HERMAN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C~ WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 19 1896 "We are glad that the House of Representatives reconsidered the vote, killing the bi 1 appropriat ing money in aid of the State Fair. "We believe that the refusal to appropriate this money for that purpose was a grave blunder. This is purely ?ii. 1 ?->?>/,]->onir?al insti an agricultural auu ? tution, where the workmanship of the artisan and the products of agri culture can be exhibited and thus create and stimulate a spirit of friendly rivalry among the people of the different sections of the State, and thus improving these industries and enhancing the value of their v products. All this talk about immoral shows, the greatest objection to the appropriation, being exhibited on the grounds is tbe merest rattle trap, a bid for cheap notoriety and for votes by playing upon tbe gullibility of a gullible constituency and an exhibition of the theory of a penny wise and a pound foolish. The manageA e * ~ A oci-x-iof inn will no ill^LI I Ui liiC i au xioou\.*wv*vi- ? doubt refuse licences to so called immoral shows whenever they are convinced that the public do not wish to witness them and that it is against the interest of the Association to permit them to exhibit on the grounds. It is a reasonable deduction to presume that these loud mouthed guardians of the morals of the people are among the best patrons and most appreciate audieuce of these shows, for they speak with the tongue and knowledge of men who have been frequent witnesses of the immorality practiced under the canvas and know from experience i hereof they speak. ! These fairs are a source of profit, j convenience and pleasure to the people of the whole State. The farmers from the different sections are afforded an opportunity of meeting together and relating their experi- j ences in exjoerimental farming, the 1 i - -J! ?-u:? ainerent moues ui cuuivuuuu #uu iuc results, thus benefiting each other, j Friend meet friend and enjoy the society of each other, and we all see what progress the rest of the State - has made in the industrial and mechanical arts and iu the science of agriculture during the year, and by the improved condition of her people and the increased value of their products the State itself will reap a benefit far surpassing the monetary value of the appropriation she is asked to make. "We are glad to see that Hon. J. j Walter Mitchell has withdraw his opposition and now favors the appropriation. The committee appointed by the Columbia Board of Trade to go to "Washington and confer with the committee on rivers and harbors with a view of obtaining an appropriation from Congress to open up Congaree river to navagation, have performed their duty and returned home full of hr>r?p and ertoonrao-ement for the sue- ! cess of their mission. "We would be glad to see this liver opened from Gervais street to Granby as it means much for Columbia as well as the surrounding country in the way of a great redaction in freight rates and ; the consequent reduction in the j price of goods to the consumers. The people along Congaree and Santee, as well as the Broad and Saluda rivers, and the people in the interior j should join Columbia in asking for 1 this appropriation to remove the obstructions to navagation and open the river to commerce, as they will, as well as Columbia, receive direct I benefit from it. Let the good work go on and not cease until it is an ' accomplished fact. The commissioners appointed to locate the geographical centre of Saluda county, have completed their j labors at last and stuck the stake at | a triangle between Mickler's cross j roads, Emory and Red Bank j churches. The location of the county ; site will be decided in a primary j election by the people. We hope j now ail the unseemiug wrange over j its location will cease and peace be- j restored to the warring factions, I which proves our prediction, and that ' this new county craze is gotten up j for selfish, designing motives by the advocates and not for the merits j claimed for small counties. Other I objections more burdensome and in- | jurious to the people will crop out as i 1 :.L ?:ii t I lune passes wiucu wui utiu uut uu i of our predictions. It is best to let well enough alone and not listen to j these plausable fellows who pretend I to show up so much advantage with j these small thumbpaper counties. Speeches made in the English House of Commons on February 17th, are j significant and indicates that Eng- < land wants no war with the United j States. The sentiment against war i and in favor of leaving the settle- ! ment of the boundary question to : arbitration is strong and the prob- ! able outcome of the debate will be that all differences will be amicably j adjusted without a resort to arms, j I" immmhwbhmbmsHHWHHH The National House of Representatives defeated the free coinage bill on the 14tb, by a vote of 215 to 90. The vote shows that 25 Republicans, 58 | Democrats, one silverite and all the : Populists present voted in favor of I free coinage, and that 184 Repub| licansaud 31 Democrats voted against l it. The Democratic vote against free coinage was six greater than the Republican vote for it. All of the South Carolina Representatives voted for the bill, except Col. Elliott. The Y. M. C. A.

THE LEGISLATURE. | Our space would riot allow us to show the run of the various measures before the Legislature, and while the discussions pro and con may have been interesting to our reader?, yet the status of work would have been i unsatisfactory until finally disposed I of, therefore, in our following issues i we will give a number of the acts | ratified, which show the final work ! of the Legislature, and from time to I j time, we will publish the new laws of general interest. The bill to provide for a marriage license law in this State, imposing a license fee of $2, was killed in the House on Saturday. House bill to revoke the charter of the town of Delmar, read third time. A military bill has passed, giving the adjutant general and governor authority to make rules for the regulation of the militia, making such rules have the force of law and doing away with the office of m ijorgenera'. The bill to provide for the disposition of the profits of the State dispensary was taken up and ordered to a third reading in this shape: Section 1. That the profits of the S ate from the State dispensary heretofore accrued up to Dec. 31, 1S95, inclusive of the $50,000 heretofore covered into the State treasury, amounting to the sum of $243,816 57, be paid into the State treasury as the same is collected, and that the ' 1 it. same oe eniereu upon u:e geucxtu account in the State treasury and be applied to the general current expenses of the State government for the fiscal year 189G. Sec. 2. That the profits of the State from the State dispensary accruing since Jan. 1, 1S96, be paid into the State treasury as the same is collected, and that the same be entered upon a special account and be held in the State treasury under the provisions of Section 12 of Article | 11 of the Constitution of the State. This will reduce the tax levy to { that extent. Gov. Evans, in his special message to the Legislature on the dispensary system among other things says: "I would recommend that the County Supervisors be taken off the County Board of Control as under | the new Constitution he is ineligible, j and besides the duties of his office J arc inconsistent with those of the dispensary, and if he attends to them properly he will have but little time to devote to the business. I desire to impress upon you the advisability of divorcing the dispensary from any other office or State institution. So that no responsibility for its management and success may not be { divided, but rest entirely upon the shoulders of officers appointed to look after it exclusively." Mr. Manning's Australian ballot bill was killed yesterday in the House and the eight box law with amendments was rc-enacted. Mr. Manning's amendment to provide for bi-partisan representation on the boards of election commissioners | and election managers was also killed. Mr. Patton's sub-treasury bill re! lating to warehouse men, authorizing them to give bonds and issue warehouse receipts secured thereby and prescribing and regulating their powers and duties, passed to third reading. The Senate bill to declare the law in reference to commissioners and i managers of election passed. The appropriation bill comes up I today. No new bills will be introduced after Thursday the 20th, and both branches are working for a close of the session about the 29th. On account of Saturday's being Washington's birthday they will adjourn from Friday until Monday noon. .? Almost a Centenarian. To tbe Editor of the Dispatch: It has been the custom of the relatives of "Uncle" Jake Eargle for the past six or eight years to give him a grand birthday dinner at the old homestead. On Wednesday, February 5th, in conformity with this custom, many of his relatives and a few invited friends assembled at his home to pay their annual visit and to spread before him their tokens of veneration and respect. This is always a grand occasion. His entire family is prosperous and every one vies with the other in doing the most on this day to make the venerable ohl man enjoy himself. It would be hard to set a better table than was /-.I, Hue ,7o\' Tlioro \v:?s eniifir 31/ t Uii C liio V4 u J U V * V/ fl mv u v? ?y v * abundance and the finest. This is not unusual, however, with the Eargles, they are all hard workers and good livers and, may we add, big caters. This year "Uncle Jake" .celebrates | his 91th birthday. Verily he has washed his hands in the morning and evening dews of the Nineteenth (Jen tury. Time has dealt lightly with him. Instead of a bowed, crippled and weakly form as might be expected, we see a form as erect as that of an Indian warrior; instead of the dim, sunken eyes that 91 years j would naturally indicate, we see j those that sparkle and glisten with j the lustre of sixteen summers; instead of the slow and haggered steps, !! ! nillll !! ! I IIIIMUIWII HIHM III I Ill we sea them as light ami elastic as those of the youth. No tottering, no crutches, uo walking slick iu his. His physical and mental strength do not bespeak his age. Nothing but the unmistakable evidence of the old family Bible would indicate the number of years that he lias spent in the service of his country and God. He is in many respects the most remarkable man in the State. Industrious and energetic in his youth, the burden and care of ninetyfour years have not cooled his ardor nor lessened his love for work. He is yet a working man, and it is only recently that he consented to cease field labor. Even now he does many odds and ends about the place. He 1 .1 i t I is a useiui ma.ii ui uiucij-iuui. He was a crack axeman in his prime clays and be yet dotes on bis skill. Only a few days ago, be challenged the writer to a bout at axemansbip. Of course, tbe writer, not wishing to unusually exert himself nor unduly disturb bis three hundred pounds of corpulei cy, declined tbe challenge for considerations entirely salisfactory to himself and, be hopes, entirely unknown to "Uncle Jake1' and tbe public. His great age has impaired bis mind but very little. His memory is remarkably clear and distinct, and be delights to go back in memory to the time when this part of the country was a vast wilderness of t ill grass and pea vines, amid which immense cjuantities of deer and other large game roamed and found pasturage. Turkeys were abundant in those days and he relates with youthful enthusiasm, how he lias set in his doer and shot them out of the woods and how upon one occasion he threw his axe at a wild deer. All this happened in the morn of this century, now it is the "dewy eve." How many and what wonderful transformations have occurred since then?since "Uncle Jake Eargle;' was a boy? How many thousands have "gone down in the vile dust from which they sprang?" "What a magnificent history "Uncle Jake'" wculd be if he could remember all the events that have happened since 1802?the year of his birth? Thomas Jefferson was President. The founder of the Democratic school in this country had just come into power. Cuief Justice Marshall had been in office only one year. ' In 1803, the Louisiana purchase was made. The United States was then in its yourg infancy, Ilepublican form of government had not yet undergone the crucial test of stability. Only one great war had engaged its genius and patriotism. No railways made travel and transportation easy and rapid? no telegraph made conversation possible at thousands of miles distance; there were no schools on every hill top sending out their elevating and enlightening influences. The country was undeveloped and wild. Columbia was a mere hamlet. Charleston was the market of this State. These facts read like romances as the idle fiction of some idle brain. We can hardly believe them, yet. the testimony of actual knowledge ought to be convincing and we have that evidence in "Uncle Jake.'' How few the men who can 1M .3 uTT 1 ~ testily iiKewise; "uncie iuar& Boyd, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday, can come the nearest, yet "Uncle Mark" was in his cradle when "Uncle -Jake" was wearing breeches and killing deer. "Wonderful old age! How pleasant it must be for him to recall the incidents of bis boyhood days? How gratifying to look back over a century of time well spent! How beautiful and grand to be in his old age the idol of his children and the pet of entire community? Heaven bless him, is the wish of A. F. L. "Wallaceville, S. C.
