The Lexington Dispatch1 Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HARM AX, Editor and Pull sfcei LEXINGTON, S. C? WEDNESDAY. FEURUABY 189a ^he saddest aod most shocking catastrophe that has stalled and horrified the civilized world in recent years was the blowing up of the United Statea warship, Maine, while at anchor in the harbor at Havana, Cuba, on the loth iu*i The explosion which worked the destruction of this magnificent warship is one of those impentrable mysteries which, if ever cleared up, will have to be done by time. Many are the theories expressed to account for the unfortunate destruction of the ship, but they are alt conjectures having no tenable foundation what ever save in the biased symphaties of their authors. It seems that the ship went to Cuban waters under instructions from the Navy Department, and upon her arrival there she found an anchorage in the bay a little below the city but remained there only ? ?* v i a short while when toe naroor muster compelled the ship's officer to weigh aDchor and proceed to a spot marked by a buoy lower down the bay and near the shore of Cuba From this circumstance it is theorized that at this buoy a mine was located which wa9 connected to a battery on shore by a wire from which the mine was exploded. Of course this is only a theory and one in which there seem3 to be not one plausible reason to explain it. The Maine was one of the finest vessels in the navy of this country costing this government something in the neighborhood of $"5,000,000. At the time of the explosion there were something over 300 men on board, of which number about 260 were killed, drowned and missing. The vessel lies in a land locked harbor which make3 it easy for the wreckers to operate and it is proba ble that it will be raised and rthabi laiea. The cause of the oxploeion will be thoroughly investigated by the government officials and it will be s close and searching one. In the meantime we take no stock in all this hue and cry about Spanish treachery, because by blowing up the vessel and causing the death of so many people Spain had nothing to gain except war, and had she deaired this she could have accomplished her desire in a more honorable way by openingly declaring the cessation of friendly relations, and thus retained the respect and confidence of all civilized nations. Yesterday, a mob of unknown parties shot and killed F. B. Baker, the negro postmaster of Lake City, Williamsburg county. The people of that town bad twice unavailingly protested against the appointment of this negro as postmaster and demanded his removal. Five of the children and Bakers wife escaped death, but all but two children were wounded by gun shots and are maimed for life. Baker was shot down just inside of the door as he was attempting to come out of the building. An infant baby was shot out of its mother's arms as she was about passing out of the door. Baker's body and that of the child were cremated in the flames. The building and the entire post office equipment were consumed by Are, and the citizens of Lake City are without a post cffiee. It is certainly one of the most horrible crimes ever committed in the State. One of Baker s girls is thought to be fatally wounded. No matter to what extent the people of that town may have been humiliated by having an ignorant negro pest master to handle their mail matter, it is no justification for taking the law into their own hands and 9taining the fair name cf their county with murder. Look at ihe matter as we may it is, nothing but murder of the most ciuel and cold blooded j nature and no stone should be left j unturned to bring the perpetrators j to justice. i Just as we bad hoped that the j small pox scare had died out aD(l the excitement occasioned by the rumor of its prevalence in various portions of the State had subsided, we are informed by a morning contemporary, that in the little factory town of I Pelham in the upper portion of the State, an epidemic of the loathsome disease has been discovered. Up to j the latest news from that place, there were one hundred well developed i cases. Tbe origin of the disease has j been, it is said, traced back to the j negro who spread the disease in j Greenville. | Since the adjournment of the Leg- J islature there is a very perceptible ! lull in political talk, and many a can- j didate whose prospects bloomed so ; promisingly during the session have I gone to their constituents to find j that their office holding was only a j i rick of shrewd wire pullers. i - j I Immediately after tLie war United | States troops occupied tho college j building at Newberry and damaged J it to such an extent thut it btul to be abandoned aud tbe college moved to" VValhslla. Sometime ago Congressman Latimer introduced a bill in the House of Representatives holding | the government responsible and fixing the damages at SI5,00J. After a hard and persistent fight with big odds asrainst him, he has at last secured its passage and Newberry will get her money which has so long been unjustly kept from her. W. H Lyies and Attorney General Barber have effected a compromise as to the amount of back rent and damages to the Agricultural Hall. The attorney for Wesley first demanded ?15,000 bit fell to ?10,000, which figures \va3 finally agreed upon. For the present the dispensary will j remain there paying a rent of ?175 | per month. _ [ Miss Francis E. Willard, the great j temperance leader, died iu New York i last week. Miss Willard was an j earnest and active woiker in spreading the doctrines cf the absolute prohibition of the traffic in whisky as a beverage and her good work along this liDe will live long after the has been forgotten. Gen. Miles has issued orders to Gen. Merritf, commanding the depal tment of the east, to immediately detail men an officers to all coast dcM'Vmro mnrlorn miTIS ftl'O 1CU.1C |AJlUi3 ?? UVl V- luvuv. .. g mounted. This order smacks somewhat of war, although the war de paitment denies that there is any such significance in the order. A case of small pox was discovered in Columbia last Monday, but after a thorough diagnosis by three physicians, two declared it to be small pox and the third was as emphatic in declaring it to be chicken pox. However, every precaution is being taken to prevent it from spreading ' and the negro ha9 been isolated. ? ! Isn't it rather peculiar that many of those who are opposed to the re election of Governor Ellerbe are tiyiDg to pull him down through bis alleged mistakes rather than seeking to elevate tLeir candidate on account : of bis qualifications and fitness to 1 fh/i fliltif'S of GoV UtllVl UIV/N. w - ernor? Sam Jones. the noted evangelist, has stopped lighting the devil in the church and has gone to fighting his Santanic majesty in politics, having announced himself a candidate for Governor of Georgia. Sam proposes to make it "hot times in that" State during the campaign. The Bryan Printing Company of Columbia, has been awarded the contract for doing the State printing for the next two years, receiving thei e: for about 810,000 per annum. The | State Company was a close second. | The recent fair held in Columbia j for the benefit of the Fhoenix Axe, j Hook and Ladder Company netted i that company the snug little sum of | 8409.44. 1 ! I Mayor Sloan of Columbia has isi sued an anneal for aid for the suf I "1 1. ! ferers from tbo recent forest fires. I __ One Season. j To the Editor of tlie Dispntcli: | Please accept thanks for lengthy i report of dispensary debate published ! in last issue. SiDco Mr. Efird has | asked, "why is it that when the | liquor question is agitated that we ! see ministers and liquor men locked { arniR against the law V It may not he j amiss to call bis attention to one roa| son, in the order of icasons which | stands as first among the many which exists for such attitude by these men. j j The reason briefly stated is this. | The dispensary in order to its ex- j j istence first denies to the citizens of | | South Carolina, (and is wont to dtny ; I to citizens of other States and couu- j tries) in their local coporate capaciiy | the right to engage in or control the j manufacture or sale of liquors in S. t C. And secondly, it bases its right j to exist upon the light which it : claimE does not exist, with the peo pie. It is largely self condemned in ! these two foundation pillars upon j which it rests. If ministers and liquor men nave seen mat toe dispensary is building up wbat it claims to have destroyed and, choose to stand j shoulder to shoulder as true workers in a common cause thev have a light , to do so. Not only so but an inspired i apostle once said: "For if I build j again the things which I destroyed, j I make myself a transgressor." Mr. | Efird certainly expects the dispensary to build up a large business if in ten I i? l:_ 1 u j years uv uis nujeuuiurit t>uuu< "run the government." Hut if, as J the apostles' reasoning would prove ; the dispensary is "a transgressor," (and Solomon said "the way of the transgressor ia hard), then within ten years this transgressor may disappear and South Carolina may be en- j joyiDg the fullest measure of American j liberty and her citizens in every calling. spurning the idea of running the ; government in any way on the reve- i nues derived from whiskey. So mote j it be. .Toab Edwards. j \m | ! &&&?** A Letter for Grandpa, j i m(|| L,w" The man who takes j | MR\< proper care ^ of his j r& ak^ I ci '^s ffrni,dcliili3re:i. i ^ [ j *? fks worth j Ulj t^SST&V YtcaUh! | mj/ / /?djMj It's worth a dollar j / / & 'Jr here and there for the j right rewdy for th-: it>i."{:ous ills that : make the big diseases.
