The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1891. G. M. HABMAN, Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JANUABY 2G. 1898. Senator Archer, of Sputanburg has anDounced his candidacy for Governor cf South Cirolioa aud at tbe sametime promulgated his plat form of principles among which he announces that he favors economy, industry, education and temperance j and is of the opinion that a twothirds vote of the General Assembly should be required in voting appropriation of the people's money f<.,r the support of public institutions and in the administration of public affairs. Every officer, he thinks, ?olno ro/>ti(7Pfl In ISPFviCPS IbUUUlU ^itu latuv ivvw*>v%? ~ for the salary he receive?, ard be j * lieves in uniformity in administering the laws. This is a first rate platform and one upon which any person can stand without shame. No doubt Senator Archer would make an excellent executive officer were he so fortunate to be elected, but there is at least just one insurmountable barrier iu bis road to the gubernatorial chair and which effectually bars his way at this time, and that is the people have already made up their minds to keep Governor Ellerbe at the head of the State government. He has made an efficient officer and has displayed sound judgment in dealing with the intricate and perplexing questions of public policy which have been called to bis attention in a statesmanlike manner. His administration bas been marked by unparalleled conserfvatism, administering the laws with rare impartiality, knowing no faction, clique or intrique with a view of healing the division among the whites so that peace, prosperity and plenty may follow the energy and enterprise of the citizen. Such being the case there is no tenable reason why he should not be given another term. There is a bill now pending in the Legislature, which should receive the unanimous endorsement of that body. We refer to the bill commonly known as the "Jim Crow car bill." Those who have travelled on the railroads of this State have long i ince boen aware of the necessity of a law to compell the railroad to provide for eqaal separate accommodations for the whites and blacks and the more they travel the deeper are they impressed with the necessity of such a law. The whole trend of public opinion is toward the separation of the races in all the departments of life. They are forbidden to marry by law. The hotels will not furnish accommodations for negroes where they depend for patronage - opon the whites. Society debars them from entering her doors and mingling with the whites, and why not keep them sep erate while traveling on the railroads. Let the Legislature pass such a law and receive the well done of their constituents. I\-y_' ?? Gen. John Bratton, of Fairfield, has crossed the mystic river of death aod is now resting under the shade T nr?/l Tonl'CAn VI I Lie Liees WiLLl UCC auu vavnovu, Beauregard and Jofcmson, Kershaw and Hagood aud other brilliant and gallant leaders of the Southern Confederacy. It is thus, one by one that these men who have adorned the pages of Southern history by deeds of daring and patriotism and have shed such a glorious halo about the cause for which they contended, are passing away and soon the familiar forms and loved faces will be seen in our midst no more. Bravest of the brave and trust of the true, the gallant soldier, the sacrificing patriot, the upright Christian and the devoted son of a proud State, has met his last enemy and as he lived so he died in triumph, in honor and in peace beloved by all and hated by none. -?- - -Columbia has sustained several severe losses this week in the death of two of her most prominent, progressive and esteemed citizens. Fi tt it was Cant. R. S. Desportes, the merchant, the financier and the public spirited citizens and upon the heel9 of the announcement of his death, the news comes flashing over the wires that Richland's Clerk of Court, E. R. Authur, had dropped dead at Romanstine's mill while out hunting. Besides these two deaths Mr. F. N. Ehrlich, a prominent shoe merchant lies at the point of death at his residence in that city with inflamation of the brain and Maj. John Elexander, was stricken with paralysis, several days ago. Since the above was put in type, Mr. Ehrlich has passed away into the unknown beyond. If the Baby is Cutting Teeth. Be sure and use that old and well tried remedy, Mrs. Wiuslow's Soothing Syrup for children teething. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic and is the best remedy for diarrhoea. Twenty-five cents a bottle. It is the best of all. mggjrr. V- . Some People's Folly. Why sonic persons will sull'er with the excruciating pangs of rheumatism, when they can be so easily cured by that greatest of pain-cures, Salvation Oil, is past human comprehension. That Salvation Oil docs cure rheumatism is evidenc ed by Mr. G. F. Schrader, Pierce, Neb., who says : "I have used Salvation Oil and think there is j no liniment on earth like it. I had the I rheumatism for several months and j could get no relief until I used Sal- ! vation Oil, two bottles of which effected a cure, and I feel as well as ever. Xo J home should be without it." Salvation j Oil is sold everywhere for 25 cents, j When dealers offer a substitute beware, you'll be victimized. Insist on j having the best, Salvation Oil. __________ Legislative. Last Thursday being Gen. Lee's j birth day, the members of the General Assembly, upon invitation of President Harlzog, spent the day at CleuisoD, the old home of Carolina's I ? most gifted son and around which ! clusters immortal memories of never fading glory and honor. President Harlzog, in a brief speech welcomed the assembled solons to the historic p'ace, the home of John C. CalbouD, and extended a cordial invitation to inspect every department of the institution. Senator McCalla responded in behalf of the General Assembly, saying "that he fully realized that they were on sacred ground, hallowed by the memory of South Carolina's grand statesman. He assured President Hartzog that they did not coma to Clemson with a spiiit of harsh criticism, but with a desire to examine and investigate in a friendly spirit He stated in emphatic terms that the Legislature was a friend to all institutions of learning, State or denominational. After repairing to the dining room and partaking of a sumptuous breakfast, the members commenced the work of inspecting the mechanical, the diary and the other departments of the college, and expressed themselves as being well pleased with what they saw, and came away stronger friends to the institution than when they went. The bill requiring compulsory education passed the Senate Thursday. Dispensary matters were discussed but no action taken. A bill to provide for the office of banking and insurance commissioner caused considerable discussion, after which the enacting words were stricken out. A concurrent resolution from the House that the two houses meet in joint assembly today (Thursday), after the election of a United States Senator. Also on Wednesday to elect a Comptroller General of this State, and two members of the State Board of Control, and two members of the board of directors of the State Penitentiary, re ceived the concurrence of the Senate. In the House Thursday, Mr. Magill moved to strike out the enacting words of the bill to place express and telegraph companies under the railroad commissioners. The motion to strike out was lost and the bill, after discussion was passed to the third reading. A similar bill, after passing the House, was killed in the Senate last year. In regard to liquor legislation Mr. Winkler proposed a resolution that the South Carolina delegation in Congress be requested to woi k for the pending Tillman-Latimer bill, or something on that line. It was passed without a whisper of opposition. The bill to substitute typewriters for hand work in the engrossing department was indefinitely postponed. The bill to prohibit the summoning of unnecessary witnesses to court, was killed. The following bill passed: Section 1. That the free public schools of this State shall observe the third Friday in November of each year as Arbor Day, and on that day the school officers and teachers shall conduct such exercises and engage in the planting of such shrubs, plants and trees as will impress on the minds of the pupils the proper value and appreciation to be placed on liowers, ornamental shrubbery and shade trees.
