The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1891. O. M. H ARM AN, Edit >r and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JT Y 8 1896 i ^ i Where the Taxes Go. The question has been often asked what becomes of the taxes paid by the three townships in the Fork on the railroad bonds. The Auditor, Mr. M. D. Harraan, has kindly furnished us with the following figures taken from his books. A study of them will show that the taxes now paid are only to meet the interest on the railroad bonds and are not levied t> liquidate them, nor applied to the coupons under which the present suit is brought. Our understanding is that these coupons were received by the contractors as pay ment for constructing the railroad jinder certain prescribed conditions, i:. and the railroad company is in do way interested in the suit, nor is it responsible fo?* the action beiDg brought. The levy is as follows: Tax return of C. N. & L. R. R. Co., for the fiscal year, 1894 95. Broad River township - 64 mills Fork " - l4 S.luda " - 4t N . ' Total number - - 27| " valuation. Broad River township $33,000.00 Fork " 73,700 00 Saluda " 31,650.00 Total valuation 138,650 00 |S;y ? tax lew. B. R. township 12f mills, tax $420.75 Fork " 12 J " " 902.83 Saluda " 12\ 39139 Total - - - $1,714.97 Of the above tax S1S9.75 is applied to the payment of interest on IT 4 ? Broad River Bonds^ $386.92^- to Fork Bonds, and $167.73 and seven tenths to Saluda, making a t<-tal for the entire three townships of $744.41 and two tenths. Balance of the tax is-used by State, school and special county. Not one cent for ordinary county purposes. The $744.41 is subtracted from the $2,400.00, which is the annual tax levy to pay interest on the bonds only, and the balance $1,655.58 is to be paid by the taxpayers of the three townships. . The National Democratic convention met in Chicago July 7th, and was called ^ to order by Chairman Harrity of the Executive Committee. Following a long established precedent, the Executive Committee, which is strongly favorable to gold, named Senator Hill, of New York, as temporary chairman, but the silverites in open convention rejected the sug gestion and elected Senator Daniels, of Virginia, by a large majority. A platform declaring for the free coinage of silver, an income tax and opposed to national bank issue has been agreed to by the sub committee. The probability is that the gold bugs will bolt the ticket ? Cn the Kcunds. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I will, with your permission, endeavor to give your readers a short sketch of my travels through the south-eastern portion of Lexington county. Early Monday moniug, June 22nd, in company with W. H. Meetze, and Arthur F. Harman, two of Lexington's cleverest gentlemen, we headed our steads toward Brookland and in due time we reached the thriving little town of Brookland, which has improved considerably since last it has been my pleasure to visit those good people. All the kindness that any man could with, was meted out to us. At Brookland we were joined by Mr. G. W. Pound, the other member of the board, and the genial "W. L. K. Johnson, by the time we had time to get a good Jong breath, we began to receive the well known grasp of the sweet and lovely candidates who seem to be satisfied that they will next year be sitting in the brick building aud with dignity and graceful beneficence shake the hands of .their fellow-countrymen. At Brookland we had the pleasure of meeting a goodly number of our eld acquaintances aad friends. After having registered all that could meet with the requirements of the law wo again continued our journey for the beautiful little town of Gaston, on the South Bound Railroad, sisteen miles south of Columbia. N igbt overtook us under the hospitable roof of Mr. J. C. Busby, where we were treated as kindly as we could wi^b, so well that we would be glad to ajjain shaie the bounties of his heavy laden table so well prepared by bis better half in life. From Brookland down the State road we passed through the plantations of Mr. G. A. Guignard and A. R. Taylor, who, from the appearance of the fields of corn, wheat and oats we sec that they are not dependants od cotton for a support. Tuesday morning we passed aBHanafOBBBaBn itiiougii one of the most beauiiiul pieces of scenery tbat we Lave Lad the pleasure of seeing, never Laving seen a rosemerry bill, which is so famous in this portion of the county. Ic is beautiful for the eve to behold. We arrived at Gastou all 0. K. and our genial fiiend, G. A. Goodwin, Lad propared a neat place for our business. We will ever remember the good people of Gaston and especially Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Spbaler who so well satisfied our inner man at noon, and truly it was a feast, and we did enjoy it very much. Gaston, if you remember, is the noted town for lynching, and while here I took a view of the old post oak that has had three of the fiends dandling to itboughs, but the old tree is now dead, but printed on a board which is nailed to the tree, are living words, words that will never die. They are these: "Our wives, daughters and sisters shall be protected.*' After we had completed cur day's work at Gaston we turned our heads for Culler and Savor's school house and on our way we stopped and spent the night very pleasantly with our generous friend, Mr. "Wesley Harsey, where we wese treated very j kindly by Mr. Harsey and family. I Wednesday morning early we again resumed our journey for the school house. Weweierret by a goodly number of the citizens of SaDdy Bun ! and it was here that we received the prize that we so long desired which our old friend and tutor, Mr. Shelton Kaminer, presented us in shape of a fine watermelon. From Culler and Savior's we made our way towards Swansea. We spent the night with our esteemed fiiend, Dr. W. T. | Brooker, where we enjoyed ourselves very much and we also met Mr. J Piercen Brooker/of Columbia, whose company was very pleasant. We took a view of the Doctor's cotton field. He has the finest field we have seen this year. He has eighty acres planted in cotton and one hundred in corn, and from what I could see I know that the Doctor is a successful farmer. From here we went to the thriv ing little town of Swansea where we had the largest day's work on the trip in this portion of the county. At Swansea Mr. Arthur Harman and the writer was well taken care of at nocn by our friend, W. II. F. Hast, who is too well known for me to say anything further, for all who have %i O 7 ever stopped with him can well testify. W. H. Meetze and G. "W. Pouud was well cared for by the hospitable, W. L. K. Johnson. From Swansea we made our way to the home of Mr. T. J. Crafts, one of Lexington's all around citizens, where we were perfectly at home among those good people. Fiiday morning we went to Clay Springs school house, where we were treated to some very fine watermelons, the friends names we cannot remember. Now for our last days work for the week at Mr. C. K. | Rish'e, where we were very kindly i treated. After completing our work j here wo commenced our journey for ! home. After having gotten off from j any house when I began to wonder J if I would ever find the way back to | Lexington C. H. My companions in j their sweet and melodious strains of i music struck a home march. J Saiurday night I spent with my J friend and brother, D. F. Efird, and j reached home Sunday, safe and J sound. Success to the DispatchT Jas. B. Addy. j The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers ville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery J owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, aod after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or house without it.'' Get a free trial at J. E. Kaufmann's Drug Store. Hon. W. H. F. East Withdraws.), To My Friends in Lexington County: Since making my announcement for the Senate from this county, I find that the condition of my health and the nature of my busiuess, I will not be able to canvass the county which, if not done, would mean cer tain defeat, therefore, I sincerely hope you will allow me to withdraw the announcement of my candidacy. I do tLis with a heart filled with gratitude to those who have so often honored and trusted me. I do it i with a consciousness that I have done j my duty and that I had the con'i! dence of those with whom I j was associated. I have not changed | in my sentiments. I am as true to j them now as ever and will always be ! until I am convinced tbat I am wrong. ? i As much as I regret to withdraw, I j feel that I am doing a duty to myself. Yours in grateful remembrance, W. H. F. Fist. Swansea, S. C, July (5, 1896. j The charge for announcing candi! dates for Magistrate is $1.50. Tutfs Pills I Cure All j Liver Ills. 1 Doctors Say; Bilious and Intermittent Fevers which prevail in miasmatic districts are invariably accompanied by derangements of the Stomach Liver and Bowels. The Secret of Health. The liver is the great "driving wheel" in the mechanism of man, and when it is out of order, the whole system becomes deranged and disease is the result. Tutt's Liver Pills Cure all Liver Troubles. Comments on Dr. Brooker's Declination. To tbe Editor of the Dispatch: The well wri' e 1 declination of Dr. Brooker, the conciliatory, manly spirit and noble sentiments therein expressed, does him much credit But the Doctors source of information in re lation to Alliance matters has misled him. The Doctor says that "tbe sub treasury scheme has been repudiated, and the plan for goverurnent ownership of railroads and telegraph lines, which wou'd have placed these enterprises under the c ntrol of politicians rather than business men, has heen abandoned." The National Alliance, at its last meeting in Washington, did deaideto hold off for a time tie sub treasury demands, but did not by any means repudiate or abandon them. Tillman's advice has always been not to ask for too much at a time, for in so doing we might fail in all. Gold and silver coin is the money of our fathers, fixed by the National constitution and our first duty is to restore the free coinage of silver and thus to again bring to life this dead clause of the constitution and in this way to destroy gold buggery, the selling in times of peace, gold interest bearing non taxable United States bonds, ostensibly to raise gold t) pay gold obligations in the old woild, but in reality to furnish a basis for the everlasting life of the National banks. The demonetization of silver was a glaring violation of the constitution, aud the framers and supporters of this law in Congress were purjurers, the friends, aiders, and abetors, of theives and robbers, and are responsible for the deadly blight that now empales this great land and people of curs. The free and unlimited coinage of silver 1G to 1 is the issue now before the country and is the Alliance demand now asked for enforcement, and the indications are that silver must wiD, for it has the constitution for its foundation, and the cries of many millions for its restoration, and the laws of eternal justice are on its side. "When this is won, one after another of our demnnds will become laws. We have Dot nor will we abandon a single demand. These demands are for the betterment of the farmer, mechanic and all classes of working men and women, and will improve trade and help in all the vocations of life, aDd the time is close at hand when no one can be elected to an office if opposed to these demands and especially law maker.-, State and National. Monopolies to control the money and the products of labor to rob the masses cannot and will not be tolerated much longer. J. H. Koon.
