A Lamentable Shooting Affair.

At a meeting of The Ladies' Aid Society of St. Stephens church, Lexington, S. C. The following resolutions were adopted, as an expression of the feelings and sentiments of that association. When as, Our heavenly Father has, in His infinite wisdom, seen fit to take unto Himself two of our most zealous and cherished members, Miss Mollie O. Meetze, and Mrs. S. H. Snelgrove, be it therefore, Resolved, 1 That we, the members of this society, bow in sad humility to the will of our dear Lord, knowing that "He doeth all things well." 2. That we gladly bear testimony to the excellent qualities, the faithfulness, and the activity of our deceased friends and sister workers, and that we strive to emulate their usefulness aud fervor in all things pertaining to the welfare of this society. 3. That we extend to the sorrowing loved ones of our departed friends, our warmest sympathies and prayers, commending them to the merciful Father, who has promised to "give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness." 4. That a copy of these resolutions be inscribed upon a page of the Secretary's book, a copy sent to the families of the deceased, and a copy be sent to the publisher of the Lexington Dispatch for publication. Mrs. S. O. Kaminer, Miss Florence Meetze, Mrs J. G. Graichen, Committee. March 30, 189G. A Tribute of Respect. Whereas, It has pleased God in His inscrutable wisdom to remove from our midst and take to H mself our friend and brother scholar, Henry Albert Bickley, of Fredricksburg Sunday school, to join that unbroken band of teachers and scholars who have crossed the river of life; and whereas, in his death tbe community has lost one of its noblest friends, the chureh a devoted member, the Sunday school one of its most faithful and promising scholars, be it Resolved, 1. That we deeply mourn the loss of our departed brother, but we trust that our loss is his eternal gain. 2. That we strive to emulate him in his faithfulness as a Sunday school schular, take his unblemished character and his high moral conviction as a model and endeaver to attain to that exalted plane which he had reached. 3. That we exteud to his bereaved father, sisters and brothers our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in this their sad loss. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Lexington Dispatch for publication and also a copy to the bereaved family. Maggie 0. Derrick, J. S. Derrick, R. B. Hiller, Committee.

We hope delinquent subscribers will look him up pay what they can on account. A lot of nice dried apples will be sold for 5 cents a pound, at the Baza r, just to close them out. Go quick. Nearly all the Lexingtonians who attended the commencement exercises of Newberry College have returned home and are unanimous in saying they had a delightful time. Home raised watermelons and cantaloupes have made their appearance. This is extra soon for them as it is generally considered pretty early for them to ripen by the 4th of July. In a difficulty last Saturday a few miles from Swansea, Mr. Darling H. Jefcoat shot Mr. George Cooper, the ball passing through the right lung. The wound is thought to be fatal.

Music, speaking and dancing will be the order of the day. Everybody is invited to attend and carry baskets. Old type metal, as good if not better and cheaper than Babbit metal suitable for mill men, for sale at the Dispatch office. Camp Lexington has received a cordial invitation to atteni a reception to be given Mrs. Jefferson Davis at her old home, now the Confederate Museum, by the ladies of the Confederate Museum Literary Society, at Richmond, June 30th, from 8 to 10 p. m. The Camp will attend in a body. If you want a high grade piano or organ at panic prices, call on M. A. Malone, Columbia. He is the agent for some of thj best known manufacturers of first class instruments and is prepared to sell at factory prices and thus save freight charges. Instruments will be sold for cash on instalment with easy payments. We have received a lengthy anoniinous obituary signed "A Friend." As we, as nearly every other newspaper in the State, charge for publishing obituaiies, and as no arrangements have been made to pay for its publication, we respectfully decline to do so. We are always glad to receive notices of deaths as they occur, and such will be inserted free, but it is asking too much of us to , publish lengthy obituaries free and : we positively cannot afford to do it. The railroad gang is pushing work on the extension of the Carolina Midland Railroad and it will not be many months before the road will be completed to Batesburg. A depot i has been located on Mr. W. E. Quat| tlebaum's place, which is about eight ! miles from Batesburg, and ibe probability is that a thriving little town will spring up as the site is an eligible one and there is a good back country to infuse life and enterprise in it.

The much needed rains have made the farmers hearts rejoice at such blessings. "Wish you could see them how they do work to keep General Green under command. The crops have improved very much since the rain. There was a heavy wind storm passed through this section recently and it seemed as if everything would be destroyed, but have not heard of any serious damage. The clever and handsome young Dr. F. R. Geiger, son of Dr. J. W. .Geiger and his lovely young wife returned home from Knoxville, Tenn , after spending the winter with Mrs. Geiger's mother and other relatives. I have been informed that Dr. Geiger while there finished his course in medicine and dentistry, and stood a first class exmination before the Medical Board in Columbia, not long I since. We wish for the young Dr. much success in his profession and a long and happy life for himself and wife. There is a young lady in our neighborhood who would prefer a visit from her best fellow with a horse and buggy rather than a bicycle as she says she does not like bicycle riding for herself, but delights in buggy drives. So, yoymg men, give up your wheels and use horses and buggies when you go to see your girls or you may get left. The Carlisle Epworth League of Lower Shiloh elected Misses Daisy and Virginia Geiger delegates and Miss Annie and Mr. Kinsler Geiger alternates to the recent annual meeting held in Sumter. The health of our vicinity is very good at present, except one or two persons. I have been informed that Mrs. Ellen Lowman is quite sick. Hope she will soon be well again. The boss men of the South Bound division had a large force of hands at work under that skilfull railroad boss, Capt. Payne, filling underneath the trestle between Gaston and Columbia. Some think they will be at work on this end of the road quite a while. Capt. Payne's engine makes it quite lively through this section, for all times duriDg the day, you can hear the sharp whistle as they go to and from the trestle hauling dirt. Misses Daisy and OUie Geigerand Bessie Moye, who have been attending the Columbia Female college, have returned home looking as pretty and fresh as thl May flowers. There are two young men of o ir vicinity, viz: Messrs. Henry F. an I Billie Geiger, who say they are tired waiting on the young ladies to pay their leap year visits, and that they connot wait any longer. So, look out girls, when you see them coming, you can guess their business and prepare to say yes or no. Messrs. Melton and Jimmie Martin, the two handsome and popular sons j of W. N. Martin, are expected home from Texas on a visit the latter part of the summer. These are two enterpris'ng youug men and our community should feel proud of them. Mr. Melton Martin holds the position as Professor of Latin and Mathematics in th9 Gainesville college. He will enter upon his medical course in New York in October, next, so I have been informed. Their friends and relatives will give them a hearty wel- j I come once again back to their childhood's happy home.

To the public: I have been ab- ; sent from the State during most of j the last two weeks, making silver j speeches in the west, and have been J ignorant of the favor created by the I unsigned articles in the New York Times, charging crookedness in the bond matter. I read it, as copied in the State papers, just before leaving S >uth Cariolina, and immediately decided that the author was my political and personal enemy and a South Carolinian. I did not feel that the anonymous attack was worthy of notice and so stated to a reporter. i ER. D. D. S. J. EDWIN BOOZER,D. D. S. .lid Treating Teeth.

In order to avoid being need in any way, write to us at Columbia, r calling to have your work done. We will 7 engaged, in which case we will notify you. On my return I find that A. B. Williams is known to be the writer, and this statement of itself, will be sufficient to most men as to the motive of the attack and truth of the charges. I learned further that Dr. Bates had written a card explaining the receipt by him of a commisssion amount to about $2,000 for extra and unofficial work, but apparently shunning or ignoring the graver charges directly or indirectly made of a collusion with Rhind and the commission. On ar ririnrr of n^in mViio T fnnrwl T)r Rftfpfi I ~?J had prepared a full statement of the whole bond transaction, but under bad advice had confined his statement as published to an explanation of the commission paid him, which was not at all satisfactory even to his friends, and thereby had invited rather than disarmed criticism. He submitted this statement to me and now gives it to the press at ray suggestion. I have read it carefully and can corroborate as true everything it contains as to the facts of the case. But for the fact that there are others involved in the so called "bond scandal," I would adhere to my original purpose of treating it with silent contempt, because Gen. Butler made practically the same charges at Walterboro eu 1894, and I made a full and complete answer to them then. I recognize, however, that the shafts of slander and malace which have fallen harmless from me would hurt others who are not less worthy of public confidence. I take occassion, therefore, to repeat what I said at Walterboro two years ago. I have never received one dollar of Rhind's commission and never made any agreement, directly or indirectly with Rhind or any one else that would give me compensation for making the contract upon the terms agreed upon. I worked in th6 State's interest and for her benefit wholly, and it is simply damnable that the papers of the State should give currency and quasi endorsement to these repeated slanders and lies. I take occassion to say that the work done by Dr. Bates was entirely outside of and apart from his official duties, and that every critcism of him in my judgement, is unreasonable and unjust. He consulted me as to the propreiety of doing it, and I did not then and do not now see why he should have refused to do the woik that in no wise conflicted with his official duties, and which did not cost the State one cent. On two occasions Dr. Bates, in the plentitude for what he supposed to be for the best interests of the State, refused to sign the modifications of the contract which the exigencies of the situation demanded, and I overruled him because I saw it was our last and only chance. The agreement to do the work for the syndicate was made two weeks after the last compact was signed, and he signed that under my persuasion. I was associated with him four years on the terms of the closest intimacy. If he is not an honest, honorable, conscientious and high-toned gentleman, then we have none in South Carolina. B. It.
