?a?amca?i??nE; "ft. 't The Lexington Dispateli Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HAKMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. DECEMBFR 8. 1897. why phots:tion. The attention of the readers of the Dispatch is paiticularly directed to an article on the first page of this issue under the caption of 'The Tariff Issue," wherein the An derson People's Advocate talis the Dispatch to task for expressing the opiuion that a tariff on raw cotton would advance the pi ice of that * - ? v,?f littb staple, ana me utiift iuai wm. Southern cottou tiuds its way to Northern mills and still less to European maikets in comparison to what has been used and exported. i For holding to the piiucipleof pro tection of American industry and Americau labor, our esteemed An derson contemporary twits the Dis ! patch with having "imbibed some oI the Republican virus of high piotec tion," and iu doing so displays an ig norauce of the subject so dense that we have grave doubts whether even the searchlight of wisdom and reason can penetrate. Republicanism, friend, was born amid the splashes of I Lit tea chests as they sank beneath tin waves of Bostou bay: it was baptised in a baptism of the blood of patriots at the battle of Lexington: for tin % O preservation of its principles tb< Puritans of Massachusetts and thf HugeDots of South Carolina trod th< snows of Valley For<*e barefooted and endured terrible privations ii: the moiasses of cypress swamps uuco nplaininglv. Yoi ktown witnesse 1 the glorious and complete vindicate.d of the justness of its principles. J(ft'erson, and his contemporaries, breathed upon it a spirit of popularity and reverence that will endure as long as the people are true to themselves. Democracy is but the legitimate off-spring of Republicanism and hence becomes the mudsill upon which is reared the magnificent structure of our republican form of government and the parent is the keystone in the arch of liberty which spans this country giving to the peo pie freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of press. This is the kind of ''Republican virus" that the Dispatch has "imbided" and for having done so it has no apologies to offer. The doctrine of protection is one of the time honored priuciples of Democracy and is no child of the Republican party as we know it to day. This Black Republican party has, like Hampton said about Independents, simply "stole the livery of heaven to serve the devil In," and the Dispatch is only trying to rescue the child from the robber band and place it safely within its father's house where it rightly belongs. It has been said by some sage who was trying to lose those who differed with him in the intricate mazes of a geometrical problem, that "figures won t lie," which is, no doubt true: but then it is equally true that the hand which writes the figures is often guided by a brain deep in thi cauery and duplicity which makes figures practically amount t > 5 cents cotton for the poor farmers and 10 cents for the rich gamblers of Wall and Lombard streets who speculate in futures and gamble upon the pro- j duct of labor. Therefore our es-1 teemed contemporary must really pardon us if we question the reliability of the authoiities on cotton statistics quoted by it. Evidently Shepperson is on the. bear side of the market'to whose interest it is to exiravagently exaggerate the largeness of the cotton crop and by the cry of over production bung the price of the staple down almost to the cost of production. It is a known fact that the cotton crop which has just be?n gathered fell short several million bales from the figures estimated in the spring, yet these figures were used as a basis iu fixing the pr'c - Not cniy was this the case with the last crop but it was only a repetition of the system of gambling practiced by the operators for years. Roddev, who is a bull, says, "supply and demand for spot cotton does not fix the piice, but supply and demand for futures establishes the price,1' that is cotton which has existence only for gambling purposes, the \ amount of which is limited at cotton planting time to the number of bales estimated by such authorities as those given by the Advocate. Again Mr. Roddy says that "large European and American spinners never give themselves a moments uneasiness i about getting their supplies. In fact they simply reason that they will get together, sell thousands of bales of futures, which will put down the price, and as long as they continue to sell the lower the price will be, and when they get the price barely where the farmer can exist then they buy their spot cotton, realizing that j over a million bales per month will; be marketed at absolutely any price they may tix." Mind, this is the admission ofNa man who speculates in futures, and iu making tLis admission he places the poor farmer between l he-do vi! and tire to be rob- i bed by the one and consunnd by the j other. From this admission can also be learned that Liverpool alone due snot ' fix the price of cotton but the Atneri- j can spinners and speculators are im- ! portant faotois in this legalized sys- j I tern robbery. "They get together'" ! and "sell thousands (f baits of* mythical cotton to ruduce the price and then buy "spcW or actual cotton at a pi ice so low that a f irmer can barely live. The assertion that only about It.0,000 bahs of Egyptian cottou imported into this countiv | may be true. It is certainly "not to our ! interest to contradict it. We were uot discussing the putiifung remains of the dead past, but pointing to the probabilities of the future. This 100,000 bales of pauper raised cotton is just the beginning of an intlux that unless checked by a high j taiiff, will completely revolutionize I ihe cotton industry of this country ; to the iniurv and less of the South. | " ~ ' J V It was not so very long ago that Mr. Howell, of Greenville, in this State, was employed by the Egpytian gov eminent to teach the half starved and half naked natives of that ovapopulous country how to raise cotton. The soil and climate are adapted to its cultivation, and sufficient inducement and encouragement are given them to enlarge their opera licusand increase their acreage. All these influences singly or combined when in active operation will event u lly force American cotton out of American mills unless there be a taiill' at least to correspond with the cost of production. Besides that country there arc others which are turning their attention to the cultivation of cotton and which at no distant date will bave their influence for evil upon the financial condition of the Southern planter. As to the amount of Southern cot 4on exported and used by Northern miils we have no reliable statistics at our command at this writing to give in figures the facts, but what is U w better aud more convincing, we have oeculur pi oofs which unmistakably demonstrate the correctness of our position. In the first place, according to the Nashville Sun, whether correct or otherwise it matters not, Eugland "uses" 77 per cent, of the cotton raised in the world and this country produces a fraction ov ronehalf of the cotton raised. Out of this amount she supplies the mills of the South and some to those of the North. Now let our contemporary first ascertain the actual number of bales of "spot" cotton laised; then the number of mills in the South, the daily consumption of each mill, add this together and then deduct the total from the amount of; cotton and the remainder will convince our contemporary that we are not far wrong. Some years ago buyers for exporting houses were lo? * i i l cateU in nearly every town ana nam let in the South, now they have been entirely supplanted by buyers for Southern mills. Just the other day a party of Not them mill nu n came South -t > ''spy out the sites" for the location of their plants the reason assigned was that they could Dot compete with the Southern mills iu the manufacture of the coarser grades of goods, all of which goes to prove our contention and from which we argue that the doctrine of protection will become an absolute necessity in the near future or ruin will overtake the Southern planter. L-1 us have protection on every pound of pauper raised cotton, and in addition let us have an export duty 011 every pound of cottuu shipped from this country, the bouuty to go to the producer and nut to the exporter, and hence. from the stupendous array of figures submitted by our contemporary to show that Europe consumes 77 per cent, of our cotton, it will be seen that the Southern farmer will be benefited not only by a protective taiiff but his revenues will be enormously increased by the bounty sys- | tern. Either system will no longer permit Liverpool to dictate the price of cotton, as our contemporary solemnly affirms it does, but the Southern farmer cau say we have the cotton. you have the money, you want our cotton pay us our price and you i can get it otherwise you cannot. | Oureottin being protect.*d 1 y a tariff j our mills are forced to use it: we are independent of you?we are no longer ; slaves*. James H E.'kles tlie Comptroller j of the Currency owns up that our j circulating medium is insufficient to ! met i the demands of business and j recommends its expansion by larger \ issues of national banks. This plan might give the relief claimed bv its O JO * friends, but the repeal of the 10 per | cent tax up on the issuecf State banks j will give a more permanent relief and ' prevent the expansion or contraction ! of the cuirency, which can now be I done under our present nat'ona! ! bauk system, at the pleasure of their i board of directors | President McKinley is said to have j perfect confidence in Spain's anient j desire for peace with Cuba, and will j not therefore demand the tormina- ! tion of hostilities on that island. a???? I ?B?BKBBMB \VZ v. I -II IT WELL. Some of 1 lit* farmci s of lhe county met in the court house hist Monday and organized a Canity Growers* Convention fur the purpose of advaneing the price of cotton and le- i dueing its acreage, all of which meets O O the apj roval and c licits the warm support of the Dispitch. On the piiuciple that "in union there is strength," the Southern planter can by concert(d action form a combine j that can accomplish the aims and purposes outlined by the convention held in Columbia on Wednesday cf ; Fair week While not receding from j l our former position that unless a dc j cided stand is taken which shall le ceive the unanimous endorsement i 1 ami support of tlie cotton growers, j no practical benefit will rcsu't from the movement low on foot, but we j are alive to the importance of tl e j necessity of taking some action fori the relief of the cotton growers anil j to remove the product of their lalofrom the control of gamblers, hence j we favor any honorable plan having J even the smallest element of success. A convention of cotton growers 1 will be held in Atlauta next week in which every State in the South will be represented by delegates appointed by the several Governors, and it is sincerely to be hoped that from the assembled wisdom of the South a practical plan will be evolved wuich will accomplish the purposes for which tl e convention is called. TO BE EXPECTED. J. Elmore Martin the Cuief of Police of Charleston uuder the Metropolitan police and who lost his job svLieu the system was removed lias treu appoiuted by Governor KUerbe Sheriff uf Charleston to succeed Hugh Furgusuu, lately deceased. For mak iug this appointment the Governor has been unjustly and severely criti cised by his political enemies, but this is nothing new and rather to be expected, coining as does the ciiti eism from newspapers and men who have now since the people rule 'do root hog or die" and who never can nor never will be reconciled to the voice of the people expressed through the ballot box. If any blame can be attached to any official act of the Governor it is that he has done the best he could to win the good will of these irreconsibles. Its cilice they want and nothing will satisfy them but office. If Governor Hi lei be makes no more political blunders in tbe future than he has in the past he mill justly deserve the gratitude, the respect and the confidence of the entire people in the State. He has ? % n . ? i i . ? r* 1 -i i tieui toe neiiii witti a nrui uann ana has met the duties and responsibili ties attached to the high trust placed in his keeping by his fellow citizens with unflinching courage, promptness and wisdom with the sole purpose of doing exact justice to all. The State Baptist convention met in Rick Hill Thursday and was presided over by ex-Judge Hudson. The first paper on the programme was read by Rev. J. II. Boldridge, formerly pastor of the Baptist church at Batesburg, on Conditional ImmorI , ? tal'.ty. 'J.Ijis paper began with a review of the theory of the AdveutI ists, who say that death means '"entire exhibition." But "death never means entire extinction." This Advent theory speaks lightly of siu and cnniin/f 'I IIAI* oo ^ 1 > f mdifcv 4 O* V #*CV of eating forbidden fruit." But sin unpardoned is continuous aid aug mentatb'e in theoryaud process. The true theory i-. that Adam was created with a soul and a body, with the natural image iu the body and moral image iti the soul, and the death | resulting from sin means loss of the i moral image. Just as the great forcts j in the world steam, gas and eh ctricity are unseen and importable but have existence, so the greatest put of man, his soul is an actual existence and must exist, forever, even with| cut the body, while the body camot i live without the soul. The paprr ! was pronounced, by the conference, | beyond criticism. Judge James S. Cothran, one 01 South Carolina's prominent and lead ! iug lawyers, died iu New Yolk last ! Sunday, after a loug illness. Judge j | Cothran was a bioad miuded and ! liberal man, an eminent Jurist an J j upiight and cousientious Judge a j watchful and painstaking Congress- j man and a pure christian. In his death the Stale and his native county have sustained an irreparable loss. J. C. Berry, one of the best known citizens of Spencer, Mo., testifies that : he cured himself of the worst kind of piles l?y usin^ a few boxes of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. Ife had been troubled with piles for over thirty years and had used n-.auy different kinds of so-eallled cures; but DeWitt's was the one that did the work and he will verify this statement if any one wishes to wiite him.

Many More Will Die!! i I LEAD AND STEEL GET IN THEIR CRUEL WORK. I Last week mm ked a bloody epoch in ! the hi-tory of Lexington county. lire | the morning sun had tinged the east- I ern horizon with that greyish hue which heralded the break of day and I before *be draperies of day had hid from an awakening wo; Id the eoueh irght, the clear, sharp and loud re- j port of firearms and the sickly thud j of cold steel startled into activity i our sleeping population. Mingled with the crack of guns and pistols ! as the leaden messengers of death ploughc d their way through the brail s of innocent, unoffending and unspect; ing victims, was the appalling death j rattle and the agonizing ciies and J groans of the wounded and dying. Perhaps novel before was such bloody work done in the county and so much of the crimson iluid of life stain the bosom of mother earth in so short a j time as was done last week. To | aid to the gravity of the occasion 1 was the fact that many men who had j taken a solemu and sacred oath to preserve the peace and to uphold the majesty and supremacy of the law, n jt only viewed the terrible slaughter j with complacency but actually enj gaged in the killing themselves with j apparently a ghoulish delight more J suitable for curlier days of the world's j history than these enlightend days of ! the Nineteenth Century. | The weather was just right for the successful proscution of the work in hand, being neither too cold nor yet j hot, and many a fine porker fell a victim to the butcher's knife, their spirit sent rejoicing to hog heaven and their flesh, like that of Mrs | Luelgert, ground into sausage meat, etc., and their bones made int) soft j soap. There is scarcely a home in j the county but uhat had a hog kill ! ing bee last week or has hogs fatter.! ing for killing at some future day.
