L'-'.i The Lexington Dispatch I Burned April 2oth; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. UAKMAN, Editor and Publisher J LEXINGTON, S. C., . WEDNESDAY. MATCH 2, 1803 m bespe:t?Ui-ly de:line. ! The Herald and News of Newberry became exceedingly wrought up and ; waxed warm over the defeat of the Senate bill to regulate the charge/or 1 legal advertising, which, by the-way, was a pet scheme of the President - C? 4i i ofArttn t J An Ira U1 (UC Oimc A less assuviuuuu, auu u*. p oceeds immediately to uncoik the vials of his wrath and pours their j vitrol upon Representative Edrd iu particular aDd those members who opposed the bill in general. Our two Abbeville contemporaries joins the Herald iu its waifare and one of them opens its batteiies by firing the following shot: "The printing bill prepared by the j Press Association was defeated by the Legislature at its receDt session. j The light was made on it by Mr. Efird of Lexington, the newspapers j of the State, aDd especially of Lex- j ington, have a clear duty before them and it is to defeat in the Dext cam- j paign every man who voted against i the bill. "Mr. Efird objected to the bill on j account of the 'source from whence it came' and if the Lexington editors don't pay him out for this they are not j *t_ a. v <11 mi_ worm a cent. ?auoevme jnuimu. This shot evidently was fired at random with no thought of it taking effect. Speaking oDly for ourself, our Abbeville contemporary must pardon us if we fail to view the mat- j ter through its spectacles. Iu the first place for a long number of years the advertising charges of the Dis- i patch were fixed at 75 cents for the ! first insertion and 50 cents for each subsequent insertion, and this was when the law allowed Si per square | for the first and 50 cents for the second insertion and at a time, too, j when we had no opposition, therefore, ! the cut to one cent per word e fleets us but little, as the following will show: On an average seventy-six words makes a square which, under, . the old rates the price was $1, j but which we charge only 75 cents. The present legal rate, one cent a word, makes 76 cents making us a cent cheaper than the present legal rate. Hence, to be consistent, we cannot "fight" Mr. Efird for doing something which we have for years been virtually doing. If Mr. Efird, ! and the other members who opposed the bid were conscientious in their opposition they should be commended rather than condemned for haviDg the temerity to stand for their convictions in the face of such terrible opposition as the State press. But if Mr. Efird fought the bill solely on the ground "from whence it came," as our contemporaiy says he did, then he allowed his personal prejudices to warp his judgment and made him lose sight of the merits of the bill, and for this he is deserving of censure. The publishers of the State were directly interested in the pas sage of the bill; it was for their benefit that the bill was drawn and who could more properly draw it than a committee of the Press Association? In the recent past the farmers of this and other States met in conven tions to formulate plans to raise the price of cotton. The press of the State, saw the necessity of a united and concerted action on the part of the cotton growers to accomplish the purposes of the call. It did not nnnnsp the snnrce frnm whenr** the It - call came but knowing tbat the farmers needed the relief demanded and imprepsed with the justness of their cause, the press came to their support and rendered valuable service in their behalf. Knowing Mr. Efird as we do we are inclined to the belief that he cpposcd the bill on grounds other than "the source from whence it came," and until we hear from him we will withhold comments for the present. rPL. l 11._i 1 ! JLue great ucuvny juai uas oeeu prevailing since the destiuction of j fcbe battleship Maine in the war and , naval departments, and the undue j haste in mobilizing troops and amu- i nition at various points along our ' seacoast and in putting war vessels in sea going condition and lighting ! trim, means something more than I the mere earning out of pre-ar- j ranged plans. Indeed every order i from the departments and every . movement by the troops and navy j yards have a warlike appearance. It is reported that ex-Senator Iiby j has severed all political relations with ; Lis erstwhile supporters aud is' de- j voting his time and talents txclu-j sivdy to the practice of his profes- j siou. We are sincere when we wish j that he will make a more successful j lawyer than he did a politician It is predicted, however, by the Newberry ! Observer that both he and Johu Gary Evans will shortly enter the political arena aDd will be sent to the House j of representatives by the Democracy j of their respective counties?Lnu- ; reos-and Aiken, but as to this we will : ,jree what we shall see. _________ Onion sets, white and yellow, for j 8*le at the Bazsar. ?? TJI.il llll On the outside of this issue is published some cotnmenis from tie Anderson People's Advocate on the plan adopted by the City Council of Greenville cf collecting the municipal taxes by instalments. What the Advocate says about the municipal tax applies with equal force to State and county taxes. Eich year there is collected in this county for State and county purposes about ?45,000. This sum is collected during cue season and is placed in bank subject to the check of the proper officers, some of which remains idle from one tax collecting time to the other. If there was a semi auuual collection of these taxes a poitiou of this money would remain in the hands of the people and would greatly relieve the financial depression which usually overtakes the business world duiiug the dull spring mouths. Each depaitraent of business would feel the healthful influence this money would exert and times would be easier and we would all be happier. The experiment of collecting taxes semiannually was tried during the Hampton administration and it gave entire sat sfaction, and there is 110 reason, as far as we can see, why it would not be so now. We are sorry to see that some of our State exchanges, in discussing ~ , , , 1.1 ?i tile JL-lUe Uttv UUicuery urt'ieciwvsaij and unjustly severe on President McKitiley for appointing the negro Baker postmaster at that towD, some eveD going so far as holding him responsible for the murders. Now this is all wrong, President MeKinley had uo inoie to do wiih the ap pointment of Baker than did an unborn babe and we doubt if be knew that such a negro had beeu appointed until he was informed of the murder. The oflice not being a Presidential one but in the fourth class, the appointment was made by the Postmaster General or one the of beads of that department. The worse that oai,l r\( Prceiilflnt ATpK inlpV 1R tau UC oaivi VI x ivciwvwv ?^ ? that be is a Republican and as this is noi a crime against either the laws of God or man be is blameless. Some months ago we stated that lbe trend of political events in this Stale showed that Hon. L. D. Cbikls would probably be selected to carry the Prohibition banner to defeat in the fight for Governor. For this the Greenville Mountaineer took us to task, saying in substauce that if the Prohibitionists was to make a fight in the primary we knew more about it than any one else. The Co! lumbia papers of this morning con I tained a call for a State convention, signed by chairman Guilds and oiher prominent Prohibition leaders, to organize for the purpose of nomina! ting a full State ticket. Now who ! was right, the Dispatch or the MounI taineei? Hon. W. C. McGowan, the onlv j son of I he late Judge Samuel McGowan, died at his home in Abbe; ville, Sunday after a stubborn figbt 1 with the grim reaper. Nine day9 ! oiior to his death he was seized with J * ] an attack of pneumonia from which he ! died. It is said that every class loved ! him and mourns his untimely death. "South Ciroliua hts lost a gallant, ! manly man, and one whom she could ill afford to give up." He was forty j years of age and leaves a wife and four children. i Dr. Bivins, a prominent deutist of : Spartanburg, yesterday walked into i the book store of Mr. T. J. Trimmer ! and without a word of warning, shot i Trimmer dead. Up to the killing ! the men had been bosom friends I Bivins claimed that Trimmeir bad I used insulting remarks to his wife j BiviDS surrendered to the officers of ; the law. 1 The illustrated edition of the Greenville News containing an aci count of "Greenville in 1898," was a ( happy conception and ably executed j and a credit alike to the managej meut of the paper and the city from i which it is published. I i Secretary Long is of the opinion that the developments before the Court of Inquiry as to the cause of the destruction of the Maine, has eliminated the official responsibility of Spain. The souvenir edition of the Republic published at Conway, commemora tive of "Washington's birthday was well gotten up and neatly printed. - . ~~ : . . .. i>urmg a lire in a tenement nouse in Charleston Fiiday niglit, nine persons li\iug on the third floor Wv re burned to death.

I Columbia, S. C , Feb. 2G ?There | will be 110 change in the county government law this year. The Henderson bill has been buried in the gov- j eruor's ofiioe. This disposes of the most radical measure of the last ses- J siou. There is strong feeling over , this act and great pressure has been brought to bear on, both friends and opponents of .the measure. Under the present law some counties have made under full records, while others bav.o floundered hopelessly in the quagmire of debt. As is natural to suppose the friends of the Henderson bill are to be found among those who have not fared so well under the present law, while the others are its opponents. The governor has been in no hurry to sigu the bills pissed during the session and has given much study to each one in its turn. The condemnation of the Lake City lynchers is uuiversal. There is a general desire for their prompt punishment, and at the same time there is a defire to put the necks of Messrs. Hanna and MeKiuley in the same noose, and also to let the canary statesman from Darlington have his i share of the rope's end. In the agricultural hall case, the Stale surrenders its ?10, JOO mortgage, rather than fight the validity of the Blue Ridge scrip. The extensive forest fires have called in a pointed and tragic manner attention to the great dinger from the vicious practice of burning off the woods in the spring, so coru| tnou among farmers. A little more. | labor would convert this refuse into' fertilizer that would build up waste [ land instead of destroying it and en: dangeriug the lives and property of the neighbors. It is not unlikely that the practice of burning off the woods will receive the attention of the legislature next year. Iu regard to the suit against the | railroads there is every indication of j a stubborn light to see who is boss in j South Cirolina, the railroads or the! State. The light does uot partake of [ the spiiit of oppression on the part of the state government which characterized the administration several years ago. Of late the State has shown every disposition to be fair and just and iu a degree liberal to capital and enterprise, and no corn plaint can be made on that score. It is the railroads now who are disposed to be unreasonable and to j refuse to accede to the demands of ; the people who gave theru birth and j who nouiish them. It will be a long tight or the railroads will back down j early in the game. In the end the ! State must be successful, for it has j right 011 its side. The renewal of the phosphate industry in Charleston and Beaufort is j one of the most gratifying i:cms of j news that the newspapers of the j State have had to publish in quite a j while. It has long been asserted by ! friends of the administration that j this great industry was not dead, but | only "playing possum" in order to j get a reduction of royalty. Whether j this is true or not, it is a fact tliut s the men who are engaged in it are i no more philanthropic than any other j set of men in the State and it is fair j to snppo-e that they see some money | * . for themselves, and necessarilv the i State must come in foi its share. The ! State is therefore justified in the! tirni shu.d it took against a redue : tion of therovaltv. It is not every ~ I child who ciies "sick" that needs the j doctor. The paddle lias been known i to do more good sometimes than j medicine. Sj far us politics is concerned. ! then1 is little new to belearned. The | politicians have been resting for the j pist week and probably incubating | new b ouh that they will spring j later. It is understood that the j mails are kept pretty hot, but there ! has b.-en little talk. The < flbrt to teorganize the seat- | tried forces of the "truly loll" is; still in progress aDd the politicians ! A 5-7 A who are i uteres ted iu conservation of I these forces seem satisfied with their j woik, but it is an open secret that ! they are afraid to push tbcmstlvesj under any one who has yet offered himself. As a leader, and that the | redoubtable Knight of the Pitchfork I may yet be recalled to sound the slogan, for they think like the fed- ! lowers of Itaderh k Dbu. "One b'ast upon his bugle horn ! Were worth a thousand men." It is also understood that thenego- j tiatious for the control of a certain il iilv npwstwnpv urn hv nn means off*. Court. As was stated iu our last issue the February term of our court of General Session did not convene until j the 23rd. ! John A- Giifii'h was elected fore- j man of the Graud Jurv. The first case tried was against John SbepparJ. Monroe Seav, and j Hampton lUwl, charging them with j riot, assault with iuteut t) kill and j distuibing religious worship, at J Countsville A. M. K. church, in which j the verdict was guilty, and the sentence S10?) and one year on the chain gang. An appeal was taken. True bills were returned against Ed Lurkett for murder: John Kaniiner for murder, and Pat Dreher for murder, in which the defendants 1 i l.?? 1. 3^,7 IJ U I UL'tU I'UCUUCU. Sam C.innon ami George Dosier plead guilty to assault aud battery with intent to kill, and were given the preference of SI00 or fifteen months. They took the latter and are now with Cipt. Jake Roberts on the chain gang. Henry Boozi-r, charged with housebreaking and larceny: having broken ! into the store house of Mr. G. Frank Kei-der, and stole a pistol, was found guilty and given one year on the public woiks. Henry Xon is was convicted of assault with intent to kill and given the preference of *100 or one year. He took the hitter. This easo grew out of the disturbance at the County Fair last fall. Press Williams who was with him, was found guilty of carrying concealed weapons and given | fifteen days or $10. He shelled up j the 8>0 and was discharged. Cal. Shf-pparri plead guilty to j house breaking and larceny, and was | given six months on the chain gang, j Pick Harris plead guilty to the | charge of larceny and will sc-ive DO ! days on the chuin gang. Xo bills were returned against ; Dennis Drelier, charged with dis| posing of property under lien; and : against Abe Holmes for house breaki iug and laicenv in the night time. JO v O j The Solicitor nol prossed the case i against Bach Cannon for bigamy: I Bach Cannon for adultery; Heriy | Xoriis and Press Williams for resist| ing an tfticei; Stobo Hendrix for ae sault and batten; Henry Boozer for | house breaking and larceny, j The following cases were continued: j agaiDst Jake Black, peijury: Jake Eulow, peijury: S. J. Clark, assault I aud battery, etc. On Friday morning the trial of C. ! C Summer for murder was began. The day was consumed iu takiDg I the testimony. The arguments were ! made Satuiday, consuming the entire d?y, from half past nine to daik, when the jury ntired. At about 8 o'clock the verdict of fruiltv with ~ " ~ " ' o %> recommedation for mercy was te turned. The fallowing are the jurors who sat on the cast: John C. Drafts, Foreman. Elias F. Meetze. T. W. Craft. Shuford F. Davis. Frank B. Racket*. I. M. BonkuigLt. James T. Lowman. Henry D. Lowman. J. E. Oswalt. John W. Bouknight. ? George 1). Hayes. John P. Richardson. A motion for new tiial was made, ! and as yet no sentence has been j passed. Solicitor Thurmond and j Efird A Dreh'-r represented the prosecution. Johnstone A Witigard the defendant. The specific charge against Summer was the killing of j of John W. Murdoek at Peak Stuticn j last November. HlKSKXTMENT OF TIfF.

Mr. Frank j Stubenhavcr 1337 Klin St., Dubuque, , Iowa. states : 4,I used Salvation Oil on a sprained elbow, which threatened to prevent 1110 from working, and after ! several thorough rubbings, I awoke the 1 very next morning much relieved and able to go to work.

It is sold everywhere for only 25 cents. recommend that the Shetifl'have the same properly cleaned up at cnce and kept in good order. We reccm- j mend that the County Supervisor j have lights put in where they are j broken out cf the windows, as soon ! as possible. We visited the cjunty poor house j in a body and found every thing in ! fjooil condition aud the inmates satis- i ! lied with their treatment. We recommend that the buildirg for white paupers, as spoken of by the former Grand Jury, be erected at j once, with a fence constructed around j the buildings. We recommend that the County Supervisor clear up enough land for j a one horse farm?but that he will j not dispose of any other timber upon ; the premises. We have visited the county chain gang in a body, and find the convicts wc-11 cared for, and God them doiDg good work, and recommend it's continuance. We recommend that the t Supervisor have his foreman of the j chang gang, keep an itemized state- j ment of the number of hands upon j the force every day, and the numb r thereof performing labor each day; that he also keep a daily itemized j statement of all tools purchased, | rations bought, and in fact, a daily j itemized statement of all expenses 1 connected with the operation of the ! same, and that such statement be handed iu at every court to us for inspection. We have not made a thorough examination of the county offices owing to the fact that we wish to make a ! complete examination at one time, and the Treasurer's books, owing to the time of extension for the collection of taxes, made by our last Legislature, are not prepared, at this time, for a thorough examination by nc, but we will make a full examination at tbe coming June terra. We have been informed that one, Annie Jones, is selling whiskey in Bull Swamp township illegally, and we recommend that the Solicitor take suih immediate steps as will be necessary to suppress the same, and punish for violation of the law.
