The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 2oth; rebuilt July 19, 1894. ?????? ' G. M. BARMAN, Editor and Publisher. 1 _ ! LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JULY 15, 1896. Wm. J. Bryan of Nebraska, and Arthur Sewall of Maine h ve been selected by the Democrats to carry their standard to victory. Their nomination is regarded by those who have given the conditions surrounding the two gre&t parties much thoughtful study, as beiug strong aod gives the Democratic party more than a fighting chance for success. The issues upon which the two parties will go before the country and ask the suffrage of tbe people have been clearly joined and well defined. The Republican party, with MeKinley at its head, stands for the gold standard and for a protective tariff. The Democratic party is committed to the free coinage of silver at the ratio'of 16 to 1, and a tariff for revenue. Upon these two great issues will the battle of ballots be fought in November. There are, of course, many other issues, but they pale into insignificance when compared to the importance of these two. We publish on the outside of this issue a resume of the work of the convention, together with the portraits of some of the more prominent members and the platform upon which the party will be led to victory or !' v *"go down in defeat. The action of the Northern manufacturers of cotton goods in shuting 6T* * down their factories at tk 8 time and the consequent throwing of so maDy people out of employment gives color, at least, to the settled belief in the minds of the working class that there is a deep laid and well defined purpose on the part of the money power to lay its mailed hand upon the neck of labor and throttle its energy and paralyze the business interest. The concerted action on the part of these mill owners, as well as the heads of other industries, just upon the eve of a national campaign that will lead up to the greatest political battle this country has ever witnessed, is evidence that an effort will be made to coerce labor to do the bidding of capital, by the inauguration of the starving policy. These tactics should teach the people the necessity of a change in the financial policy of the government, and the adoption of a system that would make it impossible for a few to contract the cu:rency to the injury and suffering of the many. Some of the State papers are urging the advisability of calling off the State campaign meetings, giviDg as a reason for the advice that there is nothiDg for the people to gain by holding them longer. Eight here they are wrong. As low a plane as the present campaign is alleged to have been pitched, there is a benefit t> th9 people by their holding. One of the measures advocated and adopted by the Eeform Movement is that all officers shall be selected by the people in a primary election; that those asking the suffrage of the people shall appear before them and state their views and position on questions on the solution of which the people are interested. To call off these meetings will virtually repudiate this sound plaDk of the Reform platform. It will be the beginning of the return to the convention system of nominatijg State officers. Let the campaign meetings proceed, gentlemen of the State Executive Committee. It is beyond the possibility of a successful contradiction that Senator B. E. Tillman has contributed more than ony other man toward awakening a hope in the hearts of a dispairiDg people that he has been the instrument of reviving the interest in the cause of the Southern and Western farmers. He has been the one man most hated by the gold bugs for upsetting their plans and turning their apparent victory into defeat. Is it any wonder then, that he has excited their ~ lasting enmity? Is it any wonder that the gold bugs squirmed and wriggled and hissed under his scathing but truthful denunciations? * Bat Tillman is used to all this kind of opposition. The same things with tried in .South Carolina but without success. They will prove unaviling in the national campaign. The declination of Hon. W. H. F. East to. continue in the race for State Senator was read with deep regret by his many friends throughout the county. Mr. East has represented this county in the Legislature since 1S90 and has made a faithful, conscientious and painstaking official, and we are satisfied that he would serve his people in any position to which they might call him with the same fidelity and zeal that has characterized his public life in the past. Bryan and Sewall. Democracy and Victory. ! inn I III j" 1^1.1111 IIB in I II The appeal of D. C. Murphy for a new trial has beeu dismissed by the Supreme Court. It will doubtless j bo remembered that Murphy was tried for and convicted of murdeiing and robbing Treasurer Copes in Orangeburg county about two years ago, At the time of his arrest there was strong talk of lynching him and he was removed from that county for safe keeping to the penitentiary where he has since been confined. This is his last chance for h;s life, unless the Govornor interferes, which is not within .1 . TT _ the scope of human possibility, xie will be taken back to Orangeburg to be resentenced. Col. D. J. Knotts has been to Anderson hunting up data to substantiate his belief tbat John C. Calhoun was probably the father of Abraham Lincoln, and he gives the result of his investigations in a well written article published last Sunday in the Columbia Stste. His position is fully sustained by the evidence he submits and hi3 critics will certainly have a difficult undertaking to controvert it. Capt. Thomas W. Carlisle of Edgefield, is a candidate for Brigadier General of the United Confederate Veterans of South Carolina, which position was made vacant by the death of the gallant General McKissick of Union. Adjutant Herman requests us to notify the meme /~1 ? T./.w:n?4Arl fn mcc.f ftf oers oi ucAmgiuu iv ? this place on Monday, July 27th, to vote for a candidate for this office. In the editorial, ''where the taxes go," published last week, the figures in the item "tax returns" had refer ence to miles and not to mills as it appeared. That is, there arc 27^miles of the road iu this county, 6? miles being in Broad River township, in Fork aud 6? in Saluda. Mr. Joseph W. Muller, a bright and promising member of the Columbia Bar, died at his residence in that city last Sunday. Mr. Muller has attended several sessions of the couit at this place and has close relatives and many warm friends in the county. The withdrawal of Mr. T. W. Stanland from the race for Congress from this Distiict, was announced at Sumter. TLis leaves Dr. Stokes and Mr. Moses to run the race. W. J. Bryan, the Democratic Presidential nominee, received an ovation from the people of the towns along the route to his home in Nebraska. Judge Earle entered the campaign at Sumter as a candidate for United States Senator. Snatched Fr:m Death. Cold Water, Ala., 31 ar. JLl, isiii!. My little child had the dropsy for two years.

Ya. In the inteiest of common humar j ity, your reporter has the honor to | send you an interesting and profiable interview had with one of Harrison County's most highly esteemed citizens, concerning his narrow and iniraculous escape from death. The person referred to is Mr. Floyd E. Burnett, of Jarvisville, West Virginia, who is well known throughout Harrison county and other sections of the Stale. Mr. Burnett's narrative is as follows: "I live at Jarvisville, West Virginia, was born and raised there, and am thirty niDe years of age. I am a farmer by occupation, and the exposure and hardships incident to J this life finally overcame a stroDg * ' ^ f * *Y> A rtAT?_ C JDStltUlJCn UL1U ivi a uuic wuquered ray ambition, and in the month of May, 1S94, I was seized with what the medical fraternity pronounced sciatic rheumatism. uThe disease was first felt in the hip and soon became severely painful. Within a short time the whole lower extremity was affected and became terribly swollen and at times the pain which was almost unbearable extended up into the shoulder. I consulted the best physicians and specialists in the country, some of wLom treated me some time, but to no successful purpose. I used various patent medicinses an 1 liniments of wide recommendation, but none of vtilinf T worried a loner IUCUJ i v ? w this way for some months, being un able to work and at times unable to move. I became restless at night and could not sleep. The disease seemed to affect my heart and it was utterly impossible to lie on my left side 011 account of the seriousness of the pain at the heart. 'Oiy condition seemed a hopeless one and I was much discouraged, when by chance I happened to read an account in the "Wheeling Intelligencer of the wonderful cure of a person afflicted like myself, that Dr. Williams'Pink Pills for Pale People had effected. This was some time in the month of December. I immediately procured a box and began to use them. A cbaugo commenced at once. About the middle of Ihe winter a big snow fell, and, having a family of five children, it seemed imperative that I should make up for lost time and was compelled to venture out in scow up to my kDees cr thereabouts. I worked out in this deep snow all the day. "When I retired that night I hardly expected to rise the next morning. I though the exposure would surely bring the malady back, but such was not the case. "I suppose the pills had put my system in such a healthful condition that it was impregnable. I left no bad effects whatever. For seven months previous to taking the pills I had no appetite and became much emaciated. I had no strength and felt more dead than alive, except that the sharp pains running tl-irniirrli mv hndv almost constantly, kUi^ J ??v and particularly so if I attempted to move about, were like red hot spears. ' The parts of my body most affected I were always of fiver heat, and i seemed to me as if they were in con! tact with a red hot stove. } "I continued to take the pills, I until I felt entirely cured. Tcday I I am a well and sound maD. The i pills not only cured my rheumatism, j but drove that troublesome pain | from my heart as well. For more than a year now I have not been troubled in the slightest with either malady, or any other for that matter. I am a strong man and perform as much manual labor as any farmer. Why, just this very day I walked fifteen miles, by having failed to secure railroad transportation, as I expected when I left home this mom ing. When I was alHictecl I couiu not walk fifteen rods, but to day fifteen miles tired me but little. Ob, j there is no mistake about it. The j pills cured me aud I know it. I tell | this only for the benefit of my fellow , men, and hope that all tLus afflicted will not endure long suffering but get the pills and use them at once. They not only give relief but they cure." Mr. Barnett is a man highly respected for veracity aud his words are as good as government bonds. His statements are corroborated by liis neighbors and his recovery is ascribed to the use of j Dr. Williams' Pills. As he talked to | your reporter, he showed every sign | of being a man iu excellent health ! aod only too glad to tell the simple I story of bow his life was saved by 1 the use of the pills. Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, ail the elements j necessary to give new life and rich| ness to the blood and restore sbat tared nerves. They are also a j specific for troubles peculiar to fej males, such as suppressions, irregu i larities and all forms of weakness. Tfcey build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow I checks. In men they tfleet a radical care in all cases arising from mental worry, over work or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (ucvjv in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for ?2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams1 Medicine Company, Schenectady, New York. Dots At and Around Salient ins. To the Editor of the Dispatch: As it has been sometime since anything has appeared in the columns of the Dispatch from Ballentine, I will cive vou a few dots. O %> Miss Josie Riddle is spending vacation at home and her sister, Miss Minnie, is at Leesville studying book keeping. Miss May HaltiwaDger opened her school again at Ballentine this morning. Messrs. Shealy & Eargle threshed in this community last week. Wheat turned out splendid. ' Mr. S. J. Riddle is kept busy glincing. Rev. Ballentine prcrched, as usual, one of his excellent sermons at Bethel (High Hill) yesterday. His text was taken from Deut. vi, 7. It would be well for us all to read that verse and govern ourselves accordingly. I notice in ''Waves from Broad River" the warning to louk out for turkey colera. We are all on the look out for hog cholera as there are no tuikeys in this community. Messrs. A. C. and M Boukhight have already lost several head in the last few days. Mis Mary Boukniglit Las her pet crow yet. It is a real curiosity. She says it can almost talk. Mr. Henry Lowman is all smiles? it is a girl. Guess what young niau lost a doll? Fruit.is almost a failure in this vicinity, except blackberries, and they will soon be out. Best wishes to the editor and the Dispatch readers. Pete. ??-?? Tutt's Pills Cure All Liver Ills.
