The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M, HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. r LEXINGTON, S. C., WSON ESDAY, SEPTEMBER I. 1897. M'LAUSIN TH3 MAN In choosing Senator McL*uriu to succeed himself as United States Senator, the people of South Cirolina covered themselves with glory and in honoring the Senator they honored themselves. At no time during the campaign did we doubt . ' ' "?* - ITT 1.1 1 Due wnai jar. mcu&uim wuum uc the favored one. We have an abiding faith in the patriotism, the loyalty and the intelligence of our people and was fully persuaded that the people would wisely select the cleanest, the ablest and the most intelligent candidate asking their suffrage. Mr. McLaurin represents a new school of Democracy. He represents the doctrine of equality. That the . policy of the government should be interests and industries of all sec tions of this great country of ours. That if the products of the manufacturer of the East are protected then the cotton of the Southern farmer should also be protected. He believes in "helping himself bountifully to the pie as the plate is being passed along and handiDg it out to his constituents." He represents the manhood, the intelligence and the virtue of South Carolina and in bis keeping no tarshish will be placed upon ber fair name. Not alone from a political standpoint is tbe success of Senator McTlonrin a htpRKi'ncr to the State, but viewed from a commercial standpoint bis defeat would have indeed been a sad blow. For the past several years r our State has been torn asunder by political dissensions; brother was arrayed against brother and feelings ran high. Not only was this feeling carried into politics, but it also influenced to a large measure, our busi ness, commercial and social relations Cities and towns were arrayed against tie country and confidence was destroyed between the producer and consumer and we were drifting from bad to worse and were upon the very brink of ruin. The times de v"' manded the exercise of the broadest ?^ statesmanship, the utmost liberality T and unselfish patriotism. These | - elements are combined in the ( "v; ; character of McLaurin, asjais nnh- . lie utterances and public acts abund- | antly proves the first and his manly ^ and ringing address to the people of | the State issued just prior to the elec- | tion, in which he eloquently pleads , for a cessation of factional strife, bitterness and contention, unmistak ably show him to be the latter. The ( lion and lamb can now lie down to- , gether, and having onr minds freed J from the excitement of so much politics, we will have time to devote our energies and attention to our busi- ( ness, which will prove more profitable , and pleasant to us all. Again, we take it, that the result of yesterday's election is clearly an 1 endorsement of Tillman and Mc- 1 Laurin's position in trying to equa- ? lize the tariff and place a bounty on 1 county and other farm products. This same able team will be stimu- { lated and encouraged to more actively and persistently renew their patriotic fight against the inequalities of the Dingley tariff law, and we may confidentially look for a successful termination of the fight. c Now that such a glorious victory J for' right, justice and equality has been achieved, let the friends of sil ver rally aroutid its banner and work j with might and main for its adoption j as a medium of exchange. Mr. W. B. Meetze, Columbia's i "original package"' merchant, is i _ again in trouble with the dispensary x authorities. Last Saturday he sold a half pint of whisky to one Fuller, * who claimed to be 21 years old. 1 After the sale Fuller made an affidaHk vit that he was not 21 years of age, whereupon a warrant was issued for ^ \ the arrest of Mr. Meetze, charging ^ him with violating both Judge Simonton's order in reference to sell- r x inrr in minors and the disoensarv law. Mr. Meetze resisted arrest and he was bodily taken out of his establishment when he submitted quietly and was taken before Magistrate Clarkson and gave bond in the sum of $200 \ for his appearance when wanted. J ^ Mr. Charlie Hendrix, his clerk, was c ' also arrested after a stubborn resis- c tance, and gave bond in a like sum a for his appearance. | At the late meeting of the United 1 Confederate Veterans at Greenville, * $4,000 was subscribed by the various ^ Camps represented there toward the *] erection of a monument to the noble a women who displayed such remark- 11 able and unparalleled heroism in the war between the States. A com- i mittee was also appointed to solicit d further subscription toward this S praiseworthy undertaking. Capt. * M. D. Harman is appointed from j Camp Lexington. ^ ' * We have scarcely pis>ed ilrough I one useless ehction to dtcide the question of forming one new county when the question of forming another is sprung to once mote bother, annoy and stir up our people. We understand that a meeting was held at SpriDgfield in Orangeburg, last Saturday, to discuss tbc proposition to form a new county with Spiiogfield the county seat. The proposition is to form a new county out of portions of the couutiesof Barnwell, Aiken, Orangeburg and Lexington. That portion of Lexington which is proposed to be taken is a part of Bull Swamp, but just what part we cannot correctly locate. We have reliable information from down there that the people residing in the territory of the proposed new county are as much opposed to a dismemberment of the old counties as were the people residing in the territory of the proposed county of Edisto. if tins be true, auu we nave no sufficient reason to doubt its correctness, then it seems to us folly to go to the trouble and expense of holdiDg an election to decide a question that has already been adversely settled by Hie will of the pBpi^'WHe who are opposed to the proposed scheme and do not want to be put to the trouble to go out to vote should positively refuse to sign a petition askiDg the Governor to order an election. By doing this they will not mislead the friends of the scheme in believing that those who signed the petition favor the scheme and at the same time save themselves a great deal of inconvenience and expense. Quite au amusing joko was successfully worked on the Columbia Register yesterday morning by the friends of Senator McLaurin. The Register has tried to make it appear that it was standing flat-footed on the fence in the Senatorial race and hollowing for no candidate while every reader knew that it had strong o Evana. fcendeiieies. The friends of 1 MeLnurin got hold of the carriers who deliver that paper to its city subscribers, and paid them to fold < in each paper a McLaurin ballot and a small circular telling the readers why they should vote for McLauriD. Wnen the Register, people learned of the joke they became 1 oaring mad , and put on its war paint much to the amusement of the people of Co- 1 lumbia. ' Many of our readers will no doubt regret to learn that F. B. Lloyd, who wrote the uRu?as Sanders" articles with appeared in these columns Sometime^ ago, was shot -and killed ! last week near Greenville, Ala., by John Gafiord. The indignation of the citizens was so strong against , the murderer that be had to be taken ] to Montgomery for safe keeping. < _ < It is impossible to get a full return * >f the votes polled in the county in J jresterday's election and we can oDly , jive what we have obtained up to joing to press. The indications are hnarcvoi* fhof fVio vnto will lirrht md the county will give McLaurin a safe majority. ____________ r It will not be so very long before :he time for holding the State fair ^ rill roll around and our farmers { ihould begin to save the best of their { produce for exhibition. j Our sympathies go out to ex Sena- * -or Ii by in his defeat. He should have ? nade the race last year, when he :ould have been re-elected, not this pear when defeat was certain. ] The papers favorable to the candi- J lacy of Evans and Irby concede McLaurin's election by 13,000 majority.

For a great many years loctors pronounced it a local disease, t snd prescribed local remedies, and j )y constantly failing to cure with ocal treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to 1 >e a constitutional disease, and thereore requires constitutional treatnent. Hairs Catarrh Cure, ruanuactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio is the only constitution1 cure on the market. It is taken nternally iu doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on he blood and mucous surfaces of 8 he system. They offer one hundred e [ollars for any case it fails to cure, v lend for circulars and testimonials. ! * i\ J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, 0.

It is barely possible that he may have the natural Inherent resisting power that will enable ' him to conquer disease without the assistance of medicine, but he is not willing to 1 take the chances and will not disdaiu the help of the right remedy. ' When a man feels out of-sorts, when his | head is achey, dull and heavy, his body lazy, his nerves jerky, his sleep broken, his ap- ] petite finicky, his skin sallow, his breath foul and his mouth bad-tasting, he is having a struggle with ill health. If he is wise he will take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It gives edge to the appetite and makes the digestion perfect. It invigorates the liver. It makes rich. red. pure blood. It puts vim into every organ and fiber of the bod}'. It drives out all impurities and disease germs. It imparts the glow of health to the skin and the vigor of youth to the muscles. It tones the nerves and gives refreshing sleep. It builds firm flesh, but does not raise the weight above Nature's normal. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption. All medicine stores sell it. An honest dealer will not suggest a worthless substitute for the sake of a little extra profit. The most valuable book for both men and women is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser.

A marked revival in the iron industry in Alabama appears to have set in biuce the passage of the tariff bill. The market is stiffer than at any time in six months, and the demand is growing heavier daily, especially for export trade for Europe. To meet this, idle furnaces are being blown in. The Sloss Iron and Steel Company started up one of its idle pants recently and the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company has also put in operation one of theiig.

The Proceeds of this Year's Crop will Cancel Many Mortgages, f From the New i'ork Mai] and E*p as*. "Washington, D. C, August 27.? Assistant Secretary Brigbam, of (he agricultural department, to day expressedjthe opinion that the American farmers this year would receive in the aggregate from $400,000,000 to $500,000,000 more than last year for their wheat. "This," he said, "means -much to the farmers. They have learned' in the season of hard times through which they have passed to economize where they could and to be careful in buying. They will use this money they receive for their crops to pay off their debts, cancel mortgages and in making improvements on the farm and the farm buildings. This seems like a vast sum, but statistics sustain the claim." Col. Brigham also predicted that the increase in the price of farm products would benefit the laboring element dTU? r.t 44J: J JL Lie U1 lauui ) OOiU, viiU not decline with the price of fa&m products, and for some time'fee fanner was forced*to pay as march for the services of those who did feis work as ever, while his receipts were ;ut in two. Inasmuch as wages^fdid aot decline, I see no reason why t?y 3bould be expected to rise to correspond with the advance of farm products, which are now bringing obly fair prices. Still, the laboring man will be benefited by this advance in prices. "The farmer will discharge his Indebtedness and make improvements which will require labor. He will purchase more of the products of abor, putting a vast amount of noney in circulation, and this will create a demand for labor in all lines, md men who have been without jmployment, or only partially employed, will work full time at fair wages.'' i Catarrh Poisons.

The origin cf South Carolina'a oubriquet, "The Palmetto State," is hus explained: "On June 2Stb, .776, a force of less than one hunIred Carolinians, under command of Col. Moultrie, protected by the fortiication on Sullivan's Island, in Charleston harbor, made of the runks of the palmetto, repulsed the j ttack of a British fleet under coin- j oand of Sir Peter Parker, and when j he State of South Carolina was or- ) ;anized the State seal which was ; irst used in May, 1777, was made to | ommemorate this victory. A palm i ree, growing erect on the seashore, i epresents the strength of the fort; i ?hile at its base an oak tree, torn rom the ground and depiived of its i ranches, recalls the Biitith fleet, iuilt of oak timber, overcome by the 'J lalmetto."
