The Lexington Dispatch ! Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1891. ^ G.- M. HERMAN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 29 1896. * S Through tns County. ^ Jt is indeed a great pleasure for us to now and then lay down our stick and rule and go into the country and enjoy the. kind hospitality of the people in their homes, shake hands with friends and acquaintances and breath the fresh and pure air of the country. One of these occasions was presented by the Supervianra /vf T* triflfcrftf inn and we took ad vantage of it by making the rounds with them, and we had a delightful time during the trip. Everywhere we went we found crops to be in an excellent condition, the farmers, merchant? and people happy and contented and cheeful over the bright outlook ahead. Our people have pas&d tbi-ough a fearful and tryiDg ordeal. The beginning of the recent panic caught many of them in an al' most deplorable condition. The custom then being to obtain advances froth factors and merchants to raise jirops and pay when they were hat; vested, cr to borrow money from money leaders at an usurious rate of interest, they were deeply in debt ' and with an impaired credit, the out?* look for such was indeed gloomy and it is no wonder that they became disheartened and discouraged. But out of' their misfortunes good has come to them. In the school of experience they have learned several important and valuablelessonsby which they have profited and their condition has been greatly improved, and the end of the bard times, the silver lining to which can now be seen, will find them ~{better off financially than they have evpr Kppti An insDection of the ~' " i '! crops as they now stand growing in the fields will show that one of the ' lessons learned is the value and iin' portance of diversified crops. They have seen the folly of planting only one crop and depending upon other people for the supplies they consume. They have learned that they can raise a better article of food for man and beast at less cost than the farmers of aDy other section of the country, and they have, as a rule, put their experience into practice, so that hereafter their barns and smoke houses will be ' at their own doors. The result of the hard times has taught them that they are the producers and that their *; avocation was intended by the Creator to be the basis of all wealth and that instead of being a mer6 foot ' ball to be kicked and buffeted about - at pleasure by her sister industries, agriculture should be the central figure in the group of industries, supported oh one band by finance and on the other by commerce in order that all classes of peo/vf liia orroof rvuinhrtr shall he in I pi-~ J ? a prosperours and happy condition. . In furtherance of the objection to , take agriculture out of the degrading position she has been occupying, to remove the shackles which have bound her energies and remove from . her body the leaches which have been . sucking her life's blood, they arc devoting much thoughtful attention to political and economical questions to correct through just and equitable laws many evils under which agricul' ture is suffering. These are some of the things that we found engaging the attention of the people on our rounds. At Lewiedale it was our good fortune as well as pleasure to share the hospitality of Mr. Donly, the senior . member of the live and progressive mercantile firm of Donly .& Se;se. He has a lovely home, conveniently and comfortably arranged and elegantly furnished with the comforts that a refined and cultivated taste could suggest. His family is refined and interesting and his hospitality is unbounded. From the up stairs of his residence can be seen one of the most magnificent and beautiful landscape scenes that we have seen in many a day. Stretched before you for miles around is the surround ing country, showing hills and dales, fertile valleys and winding streams, green woods and cultivated fields, vineyards and orchard, which are relived here and there by the busy scenes of farm life. After a pleasant afternoou's drive, we arrived at the cheerful home of our old friend, Mr. John G. Able, who is one of Lexington's most honored and respected citizens. He was at one time a County Commissioner and discharged the duties of that office . with marked abilty, and with fidelity to his county and honor to himself Kind hearted, generous and hospitable he and his estimable wife received us with a hearty welcome and made us feel at home. Their kindness to us will be as an oasis from which shall ever spriDg up streams of pleasant memories. May the sun light of prosperity and happiness attend them both adown the hill of life and the lengthening shadows of their evenings be filled with sweet meuio ies of their young man and womanbood. At Samaria the people turned out in considerable numbers to register. | Candidates were plentiful and did | some hard work in behalf of them- j selves. At this place we enjoyed the ! hospitalities of the whole souled, clever and genial gentleman, Mr. W. "Westmoreland, and was treated to a splendid dinner which we enjoyed immensely. He has a nice place, s a model farmer, and an excellent merchant of high repute. The construction gangs on the new road are making things move along briskly in grading the road bed and building trestles. It will not be loDg before the road will be completed to Batesburg. Batesburg is probably the most thriving and prosperous town on the railroad between Augusta and Columbia. Her merchants are filled to overflowing withe progress and enter prise and this is the reason that there is never no business stagnation seen or felt in that thriving town. While there we enjoyed breaking bread with that grand old patriarch, Mr. David Rawl, whom none know but to love and respect. Thursday evening found us comfortably housed at the hotel kept by ? ? ? ' % iii _ 1 Mrs. L. K Derrick, wnose taoie always groan beneath a heavy lo id of everything good to eat which is served in a most excellent style, and whose beds are the most comfortable, the most refreshing and the cleanest. Friday was a big day for Leesville there being at least 500 people in town who came to attend the big barbecue and to bear the big guns tire off their campaign thunder. About 10 o'clock Dr. Cros'son, as chairman, introduced Mr. Altamout Moses, who wants to represent this District in Congress. He told tl e people how glad he was to meet them. He said he had represented Sumttr couuty in the State House of Representatives and Senate for ten years. His record would show that be always work on the line of retrenchment and reform in government affairs and advocated those measures commended themselves to his judgment as conducive to the best inter est of the people, and promised if elected to the National Legislature his energies would be used for the accomplishment of the same ends. He then branched off on the silver question aud showed that the depres sion of business followed the demoetization of silver in 1873, and advovocated the restoration of silver as a legal tender, and used as an argument to support his position that the country was increasing in population and iiiore money was needed to meet the growing demands of business. In closing he paid a high tribute to the worth and patriotism of Bryan and Sewall, the Democratic Presidential nominees, and thought that they would be elected which would bring about an era of prosperity. Solicitor P. H. Nelson was next j introduced and made a pleasant little address. He said that the office which he held and for which he was a candidate for re-electioD, was a non-po[ litical one and should not be mixed up I with politics. His record as prosecuting attorney was before the people; he always did" his duty and if reelected would continue to discharge his duty without fear or favoritism. He was glad that the State of South Carolina was now in a prosperous condition; that the election of Bryan and Sewall meant a coutinuance ol this prosperity and the people had a cause f~r rejoicing over their nomination. He closed by saying he was glad that there were signs indicating the cessation of the strife and healing the breach which has divided the white people of this State and hope d that the day would soon come when they would be united again. Mr. D. F. Efird, candidate for the House of Representatives, was the next speaker. He opposed the free bridge, and thought that the propo sition to erect paths along the public highways for the accommodation ol bicycle riders a little too previous as there were not enough bicycles ic the county to warrant such an out lay of public money; that while he favored higher education, he urged the necesity of advancing aud improving the common school system and submitted facts and figures show iog the cost of maintaining the higher institutions of learning. "Win throp and Clemsou were monuments of the Reform Movement and he would be the last person to do any thing to impair their usefulness, bul he thought that they should now be self sustaining. He defended the call of the constitutional conventiot on the ground of necessity, aud said that it had given us a constitution ol which we should all be proud. Ii elected to the House his efforts would be directed toward the enactment ci laws that would protect the interests of the farmers, the merchants and the profession. He said he had just j returned from Columbia where he ! had been as a delegate to the State Farmer's Alliance, and that the 'Alliance had determined to fight the cotton tie trust by using wire instead of j iron ties. Mr. E. L. Asbill, candidate for the i House opened with an eloquent ad! dress of welcome to the candidates and people who had assembled at Leesville on the occasion. While he thought that the higher institutions of learning should b; fostered, he a1 so favored the fostering of the free [ school system. He favored the idee of applying the fertilizer tax to th< establishment of a fa dory in the penitentiary for the manufacture ol J fertilizers, from which farmers could i purchase their fertilizers at actual | cost of manufacture. He was of the opinion that the dispensary sybteir of controlling the sale of liquors was a great step toward prohibition and discussed this proposition at some i length. He advocated the electicr of young men to office, and illustrated by sayiDg that if you wanted to bu} a horse to do farm work 'you woulc not pick out an "old plug" but t young horse; if you weDt in a baDl a young man would serve you, ana 1 you weut into a store a young mar came to wait on you and wuy not lei a young man serve your intheLegis lacure. Col. D. T. Barr, "the old whee horse - of Democracy," shewed ii many ways the reason why the ok horses would better represent th< people, they having liper and more mature judgments and not warpec by the prejudices of youth. He op posed the free bridge and favorei the proposition to apply the phos phate tax and the profits of the dis pensary to the free school fund to ed ucate the masses. He favored th enactment of a law compelling per sous convicted of theft, etc, t< be held responsible for the amoun stolen and the cost of conviction, the amount to be recovered by the State by hiring out the convict. He sai< he was among people who knew bin all his life and if they saw fit to seni him to the Legislature they may res assured that he would work in th interest of all the people. Mr. W. H. Sharpe, a candidate fo the House, was next introduced. H is an eloquent and fluent speake and kept his audience in good humo from the beginning to the end of hi speech by his anecdotes and witt cisuis. He said that there we n new issues; they had been discussei so often that they had become thread bare. He favored higher educatio: and also the common schools. H promised that if elected to the Le? islature to serve all the people to th best of his ability. Hon. J. Walter Mitchell, candidat for the Senate reviewed his record a a member of the House and claime that ho had saved the tax payers ( the county big money by the redui -tion of the salaries of county officers that he was instrumental in defeatin; the bill to suspend the operation ( the free public schools, and fougl the free bridge scheme. If electe he would serve the people as fait! fully in the future as he had iu tt past. Dr. J. Wm. Stokes, candidate fc Congress, who had just arrived on th 2 o'clock train, was the next speake I He cave an account of his stewarc ship, and said that by hard work < himself and others he had succeede in having the seat declared vacan as he thought it better for the peop not to be represented at all than j be misrepresented, which would ha^ been the case had Johnson bee seated. He said that four or si years ago, when he stumped tl State in the interest of silver, h was put down as a crank, but as i hi3 become popular there were man . ; new converts, but he welcomed a ! who would join the silver ranks. Next Monday is Lexington's car j paign day and we trust that the i will be a large turnout to hear tl I issues of the day discussed by tl various candidates who are askii j the suffrage of the people of tl j State to elevate them into high* ! offices, or to retain them in tl j present ones. "SVe believe that v ! can safe'y promise a lespectful hea ing on the part of our people. Bi : it may be well to state in advam that with the speakers themselvi t ! 1 ; depends the reception they receiv ! If the reports of the disgracef j scenes which have characterized tl i meetings at some of the other plac i j are true, then our people will insi upon the candidates confining thtr selves to the discussion of the issui and omitting all personal abuse i each other, or uot speaking at a! In this the people have a right 1 demand that the speakers conduthemselves as oecotne gentlemei "With nothing else will they be satis tied and nothing else will be tol [ rated. !
