Treasurer McFadden of Chester,
jihe most popular County Treasurer
n the State, and the one "who for
years has been the first to settle with
the Comptroller General, is in trouble.
He is charged with defrauding many
of the taxpayers of that county by
raising the amount of their taxes and
pocketing the overcharges. The
fraud was first discovered last
Saturday by a taxpayer who thought
rs.f farno ttoo lorrror
IIIC auivuuv Ui 1UO n Wij
than it should have been and upon
compar ng his tax receipt with the
Auditor's book the fraud was readily
seen. The State and county loses
nothing as his books balanced to a
cent.
McFadden has been the Treasurer
EP->..of
that county for the past fourteen
years and it is thought his fraud
extended over that length of time.
A correspondent suggests the name
of our popular and efficient County
Treasurer as one who would fill the
Gubernatorial chair with honor to
r' 4
himself, distinction to the State and
with credit to' Lexington. We
heartily endorse all that has been
said of him. He is a man of broad
and liberal views on questions of State
policy competent in every particular
to discharge the duties of the
Governors office, and as honest as
the days are loog, the Democratic
party would hoDor itself by elevating
him to that high and exalted position.
but ' in these days when the
blind followers of partizan leaders
(count for everything, these virtues
will have no influence in the game of
politics, and besides the signs in the
political sky points to the indication
that the "powers that be" have foreordained
since last fall that ex-Comp
troller General Ellebee Bhall be the
successor of the present encumbent,
and therefore, it would be a grave
political blunder to uselessly sacrifice
so good, so true and so honest a man
as Capt. D. J. Griffith. He is preeminently
fitted to discharge the
duties of the office of State Treasurer,
Secretary of State and in fact any of
LL1U OtaiC UiXlOCD 111 W JLllv/UL lUU UJ
might place him and we sincerely
trust that his services will be de
manded by the party in one of these
offices. If merit will win, Capt.
Griffith will occupy a State office.
At high noon today the gavel of
Senator Irby, Chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee,
will fall calling the convention to order,
when a permanent organization
will be made.
It is probable that a hard fought
political battle will take place over
the election of permanent officers as
in this way will the strength of ' the
Irbyites, who favor the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and
party unity, andtheTillmanites, who
are for free silver or bolt be tested.
During the progress of this fight the
air of tbe hall will be surcharged with
sulphurous epithets as the contending
factions strive for the mastery, and
there is fun ahead for the boys.
The main purpose for which the
convention is called is the election of
delegates to the Chicago convention,
^ but much hard work will be done by
the friends of Senator Irby, who is a
candidate for re election, and Governor
Evans, who is very anxious to
succeed him.
There has been some talk from the
Evans side of the house to do away
with a primary by the people to select
a candidate for this office. . If
sach an attempt is made, we hope
that it will be promptly voted down.
The people cer ainly have a right to
select their own officers from United
States Senator down to the Coroner
of a county, and they will most assuredly
insist on the exercise of this
right.
We trust that the work of the'convention
will be harmoniously transacted,
and that it will be done for the
best interest of the people.
A Visit to Chattanooga.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please grant me space enough in
your valuable paper to relate a few
m-r, twin */-, f+annr\<-ra
UA UiJ bV vuavvwuw^Mj
Tennessee, and of my stay in the
historical and lovely city while in attendance
upon the Southern Baptist
convention, which convened in the
First Baptist church, on Friday,
May 8.
On the 6 th inst., a more lovely
May morning never dawned upon j
this fair Southland of ours, I started j
oil my journey to the city of Chatta- j
noogc, via Greenville, S. C-, and Atlanta,
Ga. I arrived in the former
city, which is known for its educational
advantages and religious influences,
at four o'clock p. in. Here
J met my former Professors and a
gpodjy number of my old associates
iind acquaintances. The University is
doing a good work and jtbe boys are
progressing very nicely in prosit
lutli &>uuitS. ?? iiixo iit.it: u
deep, clear tones of tbe old be.
pealed forth in ringing tones of me]
ody summoning the students to duty
which called up sweet memories,
pleasant days, and hard and faithful
work in the mind of the writer ol
former days while in attendance at
this noble institution.
Boarding the great "Baptist special"
at the Air Line depot at 2
o'clock a. in., May 7,1 was hurriedly
carried over rocky hills,through beau
tiful valleys, across widening streams
and through deep cuts to the city ol
Atlanta. Changing cars here, we
were carried with lightning rapidity
to the charming city in east Tennes
see.
On our way between these two
cities the traveller beheld a variety
of scenery. We passed around curves,
over unlevel country and through
tunnels in the mountains. One of
these, in the northern part of Geogia,
is nine hundred feet long
It was day time when we passed
through this tunnel, but alas! how
dark! so much so that it was felt.
We arrived in the city of Chattanooga
at 10 o'clock a. m. Here we
were greeted with a warm welcome
by the reception comrnitttee, and escorted
to the homes to which we had
been assigned. Mine was with John
A. Hood, Esq., in the home of Mrs.
L. Gates and Ragsdale. I received
every attention and care necessary to
make one comfortable aDd happy b\
these big hearted, generous and kind
people.
The B. Y. P. U. met at 11 o'clock
and was organized. It held a ses
sion in the afternoon and at night
On Friday the great Southern Bap
tist convention was called to ordei
by the presiding officer, Jonathan
Haraldson. The delegates from all
the States were enrolled and a permanent
organization eflected. The
details of which I cannot give as
they will be recorded in the minutes
The convention was largely attended
and much interest was mani
fested. In this meeting the writer
had the exquisite pleasure of meeting
many great and noble men, not only
of this country, but of other countries.
I had the opportunity ol
meeting Kev. J. A. Eager, missionary
to Italy, one from China, Mex
ico and Dr. A. J. Diaz of Cuba who
was recently imprisoned by the
Spanish authorities.
One can't help but feel inspired
and filled with an anxious desire to do
more and better work for the Master
while in attendance upon these meetings.
While in this city I had the pleasure
of visiting Lookout Mountain
which lies about three miles south
east of the city. I was carried to
the summit of this lovely mountain
upon an incline road. The cars are
held by two large cable wire ropes.
One car ascends while the other de scends.
Some places on this incline
road is so steep that the car appears i
almost to stand upright. I stood on
a large rock on the east side, known j
as sun rise rock, and beheld the city
with all its inhabitants below. On
the north end is Lookout Mountain.
Near by is umbrella rock, on which
I ascended to heboid the beauties cl
nature. I was told that Hon. Jef
ferson Datis stood on this reck and
delivered a speech to the Southern
patriots of the civil war. A hotel,
containing five hundred and fifty
rooms is located on the top of this
mountain. On the western side I
climbed up sun set rock and a grander
sight never before met the eyes of
the gazer. Here one can behold in
the valley below a scenery most grand
| and picturesque. A railroad is conj
structed along the valley on the west,
while on the north the peaceful waters
of the Tennessee winds their way
around moccasin bend. It is indeed
a sight most grand to stand and
gaze on this very scenery as the sun
sinks behind the Blue Itidge Mountains
in the far distance. Having
viewed the different points of interest-.
T descended the incline and
wended my way homeward.
I also visited the National cemetery,
which contains seventy-five acres.
Here sleeps in peace many a soldier
boy who fought for the union.
The nest object of interest visited
by the writer was Missionary ltidge,
which lies south of the city. Here
I viewed the spot held by Gen
Bragg and ascended a flight of stairs
some four or five hundred feet high
and saw many beautiful objects in
the far dim, distance. There are
four cannons still standing on this
historical battle ground. On this
ridge are marked places where Gens.
Sherman and Grant held positions.
There are also many other objects of
J interest to be seen by the visitor to
I this mountainous city, but I could
[ not take them in on this trip.
J fear I am intruding and taking
! up too space in your paper,
bujt permit me to say tjiat my visit
' was a source of much pleasure
as weii ag duty and profit. Everybody
spoke in highest terms of
| praise of the good people of Chattanooga
for the huge manner in which
I we were cared for whilo with them.
May heavens blessings ever rest upon
them, and long live the good old
Dispatch, is the sincere wish of
Billy Fslix.

Register! Register!! Register!!!
To the Citizens of Lexington:
The time for registering is upon
us. The officers will be at the different
precincts on the days indicated
in the Dispatch to give every
man, capable under the constitution,
a registration certificate and a right
to vote in all elections held in this
State. Every man should constitute
himself a committee to see that every
white man secures a registration certificate.
There seems to be an unexplainable
indifference on the part
of some about this matter. This
should not be. The casting of a
ballot is a right and also a duty of
every citizen. The sentiment and
wishes of the people can be ascertained
by no other medium. Their
direct voice in tho management of
the government can bo heard only
by the clank of their votes in the
ballot box. The right to be called a
self governing, Democratic people
can be maintained only through this
channel. Democracy ceases to be
Democratic when it fails to chronicle
the sentiment of the people as expressed
by their unbiased and unhampered
ballot.
To cast a ballot is a right guaranteed
to us by seven years of blood
ana nre.
The great principle of indepen- <
dence and self government involves
nnd carries with it th8 right to vote.
Et is an indefeasible, God given right,
dedicated to posterity by the shed
blood of a patriotic and brave ancestry,
and has since been the pride and
boast of the American citizenship.
This right is guaranteed by constitutional
provisions, making all citizens
equal in the sight of the law
and man. We all enjoy this privilege
in a like degree. The humble
peasant, pursuing life's noisy, bustling
highway, with no means of support
save his muscle and with no friend
save his God, has the privilege of
casting a vote which will count as
much in an election as will the vote
of the millionaire with all his gilded
saloons and stately palaces. The
humblest carpenter, who helped

palace?"a dream in marble"?at
Biltmore, N. C., has the same voice
in the management of the government
by the exercise of his ballot as
has Yanderbilt himself. Glorious
privilege, the only one which all,
without regard to position in life,
have in common! Holy heritage,
bequeathed by the unsullied patriot
| ism of a brave people! And, yet;
some are going to forfeit it by their
carelessness and indifference.
It is a right, and therefore it is a
duty. Whatever right we have that
is honest it is our duty to maintain.
Citizens of Lexington, rally to
your voting precincts; do your duty,
and maintain your inherent right.
Your failure to vote makes you a
failure as one prop in the structure
of the government.
Register, and prepare to meet all
emergencies.
Yours, very truly,
A. Frank Lever.
Killed in a Wreck.
Columbia B< gister.
Yesterday afternoon, about 6:45 a
head end collision occurred on tbe C.
N. & L. Railroad about three miles
North of Coapin, in which three
lives were lo3t aod a great deal of
valuable property was destroyed;
An extra freight train was sent out
during tbe day from C >lumbia under
of charge Conductor James Ivey aod
Engineer Murrell. Toe regular freight
for Columbia was in charge of Conductor
Griffin and Engineer Hall.
Whether it was from a misunderstanding
of orders or carelessness, the
tvo trains ran into each other at the
bottom of two grades just above |
(J ;apin s.
Both engines were almost totally 1
destroyed. Fireman Fuck Williford
of the regular traia was killed, being
crushed uoder the engine. Engineer
H ill was hurt but not seriously. He
and Fireman "Williford had been a
loDg time friends aod the engineer
wept bitterly at the terrible fate of
his companion.
Engineer Murrell fortunately and
miraculously escaped with but a few
bruises. Ilis fireman nas a negro
known as "Breeches" which seems to
have been Irs only appellation He
was crushed to deatb, Another Degro

ride wr.s killed, and the cars having
caught on fire his body was cremated.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
We have been ha\ing some pretty
cool nights up to about this present
entity of time, tho it seems now as if
the summer's heat has set ip.
Farmers are getting on o. k. with
| their planting, some having finished
j about a week agQ.
| Our cotton market is better now
than it h$3 l/cen for sometime, tho
the farmers g <*eraUy h&vo already
disposed of their last year's crop, so
the enhancement in price is too late
to effect a benencial influence on
them. It seems that the farmers
have to allow the "bulls" aud the
"bears" always to come in and take
the lion's share and they be well
nigh squelched into silent submission.
This has been the case and it
seems as if the farmers have to drive
along in the same old ruts, there being
no alternative within their power.
Grain crops, for the most pait, are
in a flourishing condition and are
looking well, tho just now it would
be very conducive to the crops, as a
whole, to get a nice gentle rain. It
is nevertheless true, the farmers still
have hard times, but, notwithstanding
the hard nut thej have to crack,
are still meeting and paying off their
debts.
The young people, too, have not
become inert to their?let me say?
vocation. They still remember the old
saw: ."Qui non vult fieri desidiosus,
arnet" (let the man who does not
wish to be idle, fall in love.)
I also learn with pleasure that my
friend, Mr. S. I. Slice, came up home
on the 9th inst, where he was met
by friends, and conversations of the
heartiest kinds were freely entered
into. It seems that the denouement
has at last found its finis and
Mr. S. I. Slice still as free a bird and
will, of course, ever be so, so long as
he acts under the present dehortation
which is being so freely given.
He (Mr. S. I. S.) is now farming with
his brother-in-law down neai; Irmo.
He says they have a fine crop coming
on and everything is going on
smoothly. He says sometimes they
go a fishing and catch some fine fellows,
which'proves very alible?judging
from his robustness.
Brother Rev. Jacob Wike is going
around to see all his people?he
seems to be starting _ around his
home and keep9 branching oat in
different directions until finally he
will get round to see ?em all. I believe
the services of our good brother
will be appreciated by all, and at the
sametime I hope it will be both pleasant
and agreeable to him.
Everybody should read the speech
of Hon. Asbury C. Latimer of South
Carolina. It is certainly the best
compendious on the money question
I have ever read, and believe no one
can read it without learning deep
hidden truths never before revealed
so clearly. Mexo. *
