The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1S94. G. M. HAKMAX. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. ('., WEDNESDAY. DECEMiiEK I. Ih07. THE EL I TOE ON HIS HOUNDS. Last week we resumed our chase after the Almighty Dollar, the love of which the good Book says is the root of all evil, and having a superabundance of the milk of human kindness, we desired to destroy the evil in the lives of our delinquent subscribers by removing the root from their pockets into those of our own, that they might do themselves no harm. We know that there is a great hue and cry all over this broad land of ours against the lich and the possessor of a dollar is under the suspicion of many as being a millionaire and a bloated plutocrat, not withstanding tbis we arc willing to own a dollar now and then for we find that money comes in mighty handy in pacing off debts, feeding and clothing our loved ones, and keeping the wheels of the press of the Dispatch turning. We therefore naturally have a hungry feeling when we tee a man who owes us for subscription and visions of jicbes crowd our thoughts when we hear the chink of the coin or the rustle of the bill: but we are greviously disappointed when he fails to walk into the Captuiu's office aDd balance his account. But such is life, made up of sunshine and shadow, yet some times it seems to us that the shad ows of the dollar falls oftener on the wrong side for us than on the right. Monday week we boarded the ?aily tiaiu for Lcwiedale, where the County Treasurer was to meet the tax payeis and arrived there in time to lean upon the staff of life at the sumptuous table of Senator D. J. Griffith. The Ciptaiu wears his Senatorial toga with grace and dignity worthy of a Ceasar or a Cicero. We found him to be the same old Captain as in the days of yore, when * * 1 - - l i :i.. the thought or relate lay nor utauij upon bis mind?Liud-hearted, jovial and thoughtful of the coiufoit and pleasure of those unfortunate wayfarers whose good fortune it is to be thrown upon his unbounded bospi tality. "When we arrived he was in the midst of potato diggiug of which crop he claimed not as good as usual Crptain oversees his farm work himself and as a consequence he is doing well, notwithstanding 5 cents cotton. Lewiedule was very quiet considering that this should be the busy season of the year. But few tax payers put in an appearance aud the collections of the Treasurer were very small, yet the obliging "NYingard grumbled not, knowing that be had performed his duty if the people failed in theirs. There are but two stores at this place. Donley Sease keep a large and well selected stock of general merchandise and enjoy a fair country trade. The members of this fitm are both accommodating gentlemen and thorough young business men. They have succeed by honest dealings, honest weights, honest goods and honest prices, in building up a lucrative business. Capt. D. J. Griffiih has numerous customers and keeps an excellent assorted stock, embracing everything farm in fhp linnspnnd Aicrutu UX4 (.UV awi **") ? in the shop. Low pi ices anil big values being bis motto, therefore many substantial people of the surrounding country go there to do their trading. Dr. Lewie A. Griffith serves Uncle Sam in the capacity of postmaster and by politness and accommodation, and close attention to bis duties, he gives satisfaction to both the department and the patroDs of the office. He is ably assisted by Mr. C. C. Kyer. Dr. Giiffith is the family physician of many iu the neighborhood and by bis skill in the practice of his profession has earned the reputation of beiug u successful practitioner and enjoys a large practice. Mr. H. S. Morgan is in the employment of the railroad company as depot agent, telegraph operator aud express agent, and discharges his various duties with promptness and efficiency which gives satisfaction to the company and being of an obliging and accommodating disposition, he meets the wants of the traveling public. The Hall Bros., do a large lumber business, most of which they ship to various points. Their lumber is of the finest ijuality, sawed true and gives satisfaction to both the pur chaser and the workmen. Mr. L. A. Sease presides over a flourishing school at this place and both patrons and pupils are well pleased with him. Tuesday we were at Leesville. This beautiful little town with its broad and regular streets and handsome residences is holding its own in the business world, notwithstanding the widespread depression and the j gloomy outlook. Many improvements huve been made in the town j and new stores and residences have i aaaMa??a??a? been erected, while many ol 1 ones have been greatly improved. There I aie great possibilites for this progressive little town, aud the enterprising citizens aie alive to the necessities and are pushing the business of the ; town with a vim which is truly com i mendable. The merchants have ! handsome business houses and cany . large and well selected stocks which j they are selling at panic prices. It is w ith pleasure that we are able j to chronicle the fact that our friend, : Dr. Joe F. Mitchell, made a complete J success with his farming operations { this year, and has set an example woitby to be followed by the rest of farmers of the counTy. If cotton is five cents a pound, he is independent, j having made an abundance of sup ! plies, has hogs fattening to make hi* own bacon, splendid milch cows, which supplies his family with milk 1 and butter tl.e rear round, and iletk * J horses. He raised the largest and [ best buDch yam potatoes that we j have ever.seen any where ami the | yield was immense. His cotton is stored away in his store awaiting a j raise in price. We congratulate Dr. j Joe on his success, and wish for him j many more such years. Datesburg. where we spent Wed uesday, is another live and progres sive place. It is the metropolis of the county and her business well sustains the well earned reputation of being the liveliest and busiest town on the railroad. The merchants have large lines of pretty j goods and while business was not as i brisk as it should have been, yet ! when the general stagnation is conj sidered, it was as good as could be expected. ! LikeLeesville, many improvements ! have been made and many handsome i residences have been buiit. The neoi 1 i nle acuera!lv arc cheerful and well disposed and are looking forward to better and more prosperous times when the clouds roll by. They have great faith and large expectations for the future of their town and each vie with ihe own and all pull together in the interest and growth of j Batesburg. I While at Batesburg we lmd the j pleasure of meeting Prof. 1). W. ! Daniels, Principal of the Batesburg | Collegiate Iuslitute. We were glad I to learn that the Institute was | llouiishing under his efficient mauagcment. He is a scholarly gentleman of high literary attainments and culture and is devoted to his profession, and the people of Batesburg are to be congratulated in having him to I preside over the educational interests I and training the minds and forming j the characters of their children. This trip completed the rounds | through the county and we are now 1 located at our office where we can | always be interviewed by delinquent : subscribers. Come in to see us. Hearing "Was Affected.

I I A *) A 1 f > A * ** 1 ** ^ <** 6*Ut j To Krcd a M->ni)iuei<t in Memo:y of i the Soutli Carolina AVomeu of the j j Confedeiate Stat'.s. To the Suiviwng Conf.derate Sol dieis, their Sons aud Fiieud-: Comrades and fiit-mls, at a ineetj iug of the South Ciroliua Division | Uniteil Con ft derate Veterans hehl at j Greenville, S C , in June last, it was | decided to erect, soinev. here in the : bounds of the State of South Carolina j a monument to the memory of the j i noble women of the Cmfedeiate ! | States. No nobler cause was ever j ! undertaken by men. If 3011 will but | travel through the States that once j composed the Confederate States you I will notice in neaily every city worthy | of note a monument erected in some i j eonspicious place to the memory of | the Confederate soldier. These j monuments in neaily, if not every j instance, were built through and by j the exertions of the fair women of I ilu? Srmth in order that the ("unfed I erate soldier should not be forgotten, ! if the cause for which he fought was ! lost. If you will but allow your memory to carry you back to the Confederate hospital you will remember the many kind and chaiitable deeds done by the devoted women of the Confederacy. Many cf you who are tod ?y alive, are no doubt, in delted to these noble women for your lives. Must they be forgotten ? j The answer comes back and the echo : resounds X<>! Then, comrades, to the front, and answer to the bugle call that was sounded at Cm envillc. I and let the monument be erect d. | Lot old L'-xington not be found in J the rear rank, but to the front as in j batths of the cause for which }ou so j nobly fought. How many of you can look back upon the past and J think of some devoted mother now | dead and in her grave and perhaps ! forgotten, who, while 3on were ! absent in the army fighting for the i cause you loved so dear, was at home, ; atrd at night, spun, wove and made ; clothes to wai m your bodies, while ! the government you were fighting to sustain was not financially able to pay for comfortable clothing' for you | to wear? How many of }ou can j think of some loving wife, who has ! long since passed over the liver and ; is now at rest under the shade of the j trees, who, while you were battling | for right and justice, was at home J conducting your farms, and raiding supplies to feed our half famished I army while your government was ' unable to pay for the rations to sus l tain and nourish your bodies? How | many of you can look back and think j of some kind and devoted sister who. | mindful of your wants, was ever I ready to supply you with the ever j needed articles scarce, and hardly to | be bad in the at"my of the Confed| eraey, such as handkerchiefs, socks, ! shirts and hats which they made ! with cloth, and with their own sweet ! hands ? How many of you in lookj ing back upon the past eau have a I fond rememberance of a lovelv sweet j heart, who lias passed off the stage I of action, who always mindful of j your wants and condition in the ('onj federate army, would furnish you j with a beautiful scan to warm your I throat aud breast, would visit you while wounded and at home, or would attend by your sick couch in ! the hospital and administer to your i needs medicine, aud cheer you up ! while you were perhaps, almost ready i to give up to die the lonely death of j a soldiei ! Comrades aud friends, j think of all these little incidents of ! the war and I feel satisfied that you i cannot do otherwise than respond to I ! the call aud furnish the needed funds ! ! to erect the monument to the women j | of the Confederacy to which they jo | i justly deserve. Survivors, we can- J i not, we will not, refuse to obey. The j monument must be built: the women [ j of the South must not be forgotten, j : They have built monuments and | i ! statutes in memory of our fallen j heroes, now we in turn must erect I oue in memory of them. The eyes of I | the living women of the South are | j open wide, anil are upon us. looking | to see what we are going to do. j Have they not the light to expect j i the erection of at least one monument j i in memory of their departed sisters ? I think I hear you answer, they have. | Then, Comrades, Sons of Comrades j | and friends of the "Lost Cause," do ! ; not delay but respond at once; do j i not one wait for the other, but send i I in your mite as soon as convenient, j i If needs be, deny yourself of some ! j V ~ | little delicacy in order to respond to | j this noble and ligliteous cause and ; J the monument will be built. All funds intrusted to my care will j I be acknowledged through the eol- j ! minis of the Lexington Dispatch, ! j and by me sent to Capt. R S. Dcs- j : portes, Secretary and Treasurer of ! ! Women's Monument Committee, : I j Columbia. S C, who by resolution j j of committee, wiil place the same in j i the savings department of Carolina j | National Dank, where said funds will j ' draw interest until used for the pur j ; pose intended. J It is the desire of the committee , and the South Carolina Division of United Confederate Veterans torai e ; at least si'kono in the State, and that j this amount be placed in the hands I of the treasurer not later than May. < ' next, at which time the r<>ij)mittee ' 1 will assemble in tin citv of ('bail s ton, S ('. For the convenience of those wishing to contribute to the fund and that there may not be any (xcuse for failure to send to my aidless at this place, I have thought Last to appo'nt sub committees iu each township to whom funds may be intrusted and who will forwatd same to me. viz: Black Creek?John J. MrCaitha. Boiling Spiing??Paul P. Claik. Broad River? John K Fulmer. Bull Swamp?Joseph \V. Beider. Chiwptepiu?Dr. T. S J'ox. Cougaree?John G. Guiguard. ? T!uv \" s; Yminoinpi'.

It is to be hoped that, each and j every one of the above com mi: tee men will not look upon it as a burden, but j take pleasure in looking ufttr this matter and see that the township which they represent, stnd an amount which will he an honor to the citizens thereof. The monument must be built, and if every one will but send in a little, the grand work will be accomplished. So brother comrades respond to the call. Your Comrade. M. I).

Woman's O Y lc Is never done, and it is especially wearing and wearisome to those whose blood is impure and unfit properly to tone, sustain. and renew the wasting of nerve, muscle and tissue. It is more because of this condition of the blood that women are run down. Tired, wcaK, Nervous, Than because of the work iiseif. Every physician says so, and that the only remedy is in building up by taking a good nerve tonic, blood purifier and vitalize! like Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Fallaw, vice president; 0. D. Seav, secretary: J. D. Fair, Miss Fllen Heudrix, N. O Pyles, Arthur Harm an and J. F. II, e.\trcuii\u iiMiiuuinv.. County Superintendent of JvJucnlion J. D. Fair made the opening1 address, which was instructive and well received by the audience after the election of officers the query box j was opened, and the following questions were discussed. Should the I query box be adopted in the schoolroom? A spirited discussion followed in which several members took part. One member had been experiment ing with the query box and found ibat*it worked admirably, sensible | queries having been propounded by the student-. It awakened inteio-t among the dull pupils 011 ind flYnut studies. This is simply a trid and others miclit profit bv the same plan. Mr. J. K. lb Kyzer was a? lad what plan must be devised ( > secure the regular attendance of the children in a school district. He thought the parol.t should be conferred with in order to enlist co-operation and asshtruce by sending his cuiid to school regularly: also by encouraging the child himself, by being hind and considerate in all dealings with him. This will create in him a love for school and a thirst for knowledge that will cause him to be studious and punctual. We think every- teacher who was present at this meeting felt at home and went away filled with new ideas and inspired with a greater zeal to his whole duty in the schoolroom. Man is an imitative creature and j hence he learns by coining in contact with his fellow man. Then \\c should miss no opportunity of inciting and conversing with other teachers who are all aglow on this all important subject education. Come and meet with them? Lhev will please, instruct and enthuse you. We are prone to compliin that the school term is short sympathy is j weak and salaries low.
