The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. G. M. HAKMAN, Editor aDd Publisher <, LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 9, 1893. "DAMNABLE" LIBEL. The Columbia State, commenting last Thursday on the acquittal of Robert Hook for the killing of Policeman Goes at Brookland; the killing of T. J. Trimmier at Spartan j burg, and the murder of Biker and his infant babe at Lake City, is unjustly harsh and entirely too severe on the people of this county in particular and the white people of the State in general. That the taking of human life under any circumstances is greatly deplored by peaceful and law abiding citizens of every condition in life. Bat there aie oftentimes conditions when it becomes an absolute necessity for the shedding of human blood to protect one's own life and property. Both Divine and human law recognizes this and when a case of self defence is clearly established, or there are mitigating circumstances surrounding a homicide, both laws either justifies or excuses the act. To ascertain the circumstances in cases of this class, as well as to puni-sh the malicious and wanton violation of the law, were our criminal courts instituted. "We never hear* a word of the testimony either for the prosecution or defense on Hook's era flro o? certain as certain can UltU) i** V WW v-? be that the States' editor did cot, because he was neither in the court house nor in town. We have not read a line of the evidence, and we are satisfied that the Columbia editor did not either, because none of it was published. Now, who is to be the judge of the merit of Hook's defense? A self confessed prejudiced editor, sitting in his santum fourteen miles away from our temple of justice, who never heard a word of the testimony, or a jury of twelve as good, as honest and as conscientious m8n as this country ever produced, who patiently and attentively listened to the testimony as it fell from the lip3 of sworn witnesses, both pro and con for two days? This question i3 easy of answer. The Judge before whom the case was tried is one of the most eminent and upright jurist in the State and if there had been even the semblance of a "damnable perjury of the jury," the Judge would have most assuredly rebuked the jury and caused an indictment to be issued against each one of them. The prosecution was conducted with unusual closeness and skill, ability and a thorough knowledge of the law marked every stage as the case progressed, so we have been reliably informed, and had the jury committed "damuable perjury" Solicitor j Thurmond would have certainly n> ticed it and would have immediately instituted legal proceedings against its members. Judge Klugh, at j Chambers in Columbia, strengthened, j if he did not virtually favorably de- ! firlo MSP in f*rantin? his an > O l_> * plication for bail by so pointedly and so stroDgly commenting and sustaining the position of the defense and contention of Hook's attorney. The j whole truth of the matter is that the : prejudice of the States editor and ' his zeal to put a check upon the I growing prevalence of crime have j warped his judgment and blinded his reason and in bis high state of mental perturbance he charges j something which has existence only in his imagination. James Williams, a negro, tried j to terrorize Carrie Paul, a white wo- j maD, in the citv of Cjlumbia Thurs- ! day and Carrie wouldn't be terrorized j worth a ceBt. She drew her handy \ pistol and held the negro at bay ! while she wore her buggy whip out j over the carcass of the disciple of Erubus until he was forced to fall j upon his knees and aplogize and j plead for mercy. Carrie received a j cordial invitation to attend the.Mayor's i matinee and for the enjoyment of . which she enriched the city's treas- j ury to the amount of 8-5 Williams j was excused on the ground that he , bad received punishment enough. ! His troubles were destined not to j eod here, however, as a Magistrate was J exceedingly anxious to interview the | gentleman of color and he was es- j corted around by a constable and af- ! ter a full hearing, was given thirty ; day* on the chain gang. It is hoped j that he will leave there a sadder but j wiser man. i A writer iu the Columbia State j "notes with pain and regret the re- i cent criticisms of General "Wade J Hampton of General Nelson A. Miles, and his advice for Southerners to stay j at home in the event of a war with j Spain/' and, "in silent protest, volun- j * i - i teers, in tlie event or war, to ser\e , as a private on land or sea. Newberry was treated to a enow j storm on Thursday last. It was j rather a l'ght one, just sufficiently | heavy to fool the young people. I UOt.1???Ml The sensation of the week was the demand made by Spain upon Presi dent McKinley for the recall of General Fitzhugh Lee as United States Consul to Cuba and that provisions be sent to the suffering Cubans in vessels other than armed men of war. Both of these requests were promptly declined by President McKinley and Spain receded from her demands, and thus the incident has ended for the present. About fiffxr million dollars was appro priated by tbe House yesterday amid the wildest enthusiasm and made immediatly available for tbe purchase of gun power explosives and other munitions of war. Tbe House has passed a bill creating two new aitillery Itegiments. This is considered a war measure. O.her warlike measures are being pushed with almost startling rapidity. Arrangements have been completed for the purchase of a number of first, second and third class war vessels should it be decided that they are needed. Spain is said to be no less active in making preparations fur war. We trust, however, that an amicable adjustment of the differences between the two nations will be satisfactorily effected and obviate the necessity of unmuzzling the war dogs. W. H. Robertson, colored, com"Votinnal Guards of in auuiu^ tuw South Carolina, writes Adjutant and Inspector General Watts as follows: "My Dear General: As commanding officer of the National Guard of South Carolina, I have tbe honor to offer my services and tbe enlisted troops of my command, together with 8,000 able bodied colored men of this State ready to be enlisted in service in case of war with Spain. We are ready to march to battle for South Carolina, as was tbe case in the Yemasse war in South Carolina in 1715. But today we will march against Spain with the star spangled banner of soldiers of war.'' Editor Culp of the Union Times, has ceased to smoke the pipe of peace and has put on a full coating of war paint and is just hungering and thirsting for Spanish gore and it fippms that nothing but core will sat ? O U iefy bipa. He has written an open letter to Governor Ellerbe wherein he graphically recounts the deeds of bravery of the State malitia duriDg the memorable Greenville campaign while rusticating on the classic banks of Reedy river in 1888, and winds up by offering bis valuable and indispensable services to the Slate. The State Board of Control has purchased the Robertson warehouse on Gervais St., in Columbia, between the Union Depot and the Congaree river bridge, and it will hereafter be used as the home of the dispensary. The price paid was $18,000. The war with Spain has developed into a war on paper carried on by yellow back journals for the purpose of making money for their owners. But few reputable journals now believe that there will be a war with Spain. The town of Front Royal, "Warren Co, Ya., i3 to introduce the South Carolina dispensary system. This is a prohibition town, but the law is flagrantly violated aud the dispensary system will be tried as a remedy for blind tigeiism. Iu the municipal election held in Columbia yesterday, there were three candidates for Mayor, as follows: Me. B. Sloan, who received GOO vott; T. J. Lipscomb, 717; E. J. Brennau, 10G. The race will have to be run over by Sloan and Lipscomb. Hon. W. J. Talbert has announced Lis intention to enter the primaries in the summer to stand for re election to Congress from the Second District. The bodies of the dead Maine sail ors which lave been les-ued from the wreck, were buried at Key West, Fla., on March 3d. Cel. D. Cardwell has been elected commander of Camp Hampton, of Columbia, to succeed the late R. S. Dcsportes. It is probable that a textile school will be opened at Ciemson College in September.

My D. mi- Sir ana Brother: After much serious thought and consideva tiou 1 have at 1 ist uecuiea to issue the Call for II illy I) iy, for every subAlliance that has c-ver been in existence in South Carolina, on "March 12. 1S0S. The reason for this must commend itself to your mind and heart. Our country is most surely settling itself j into conditions and quagmires that J promise no good for the farmer?for his inteie^t cr his family after him. This is most assurc-dly an age of combines. We have combines of corporal ion, combines of brain aDd money with brain and money, until j there is now scarcely an article that i you use that is not controlled by a j Trust?from the oil that lights the lamp by which the young mother sings her fhst lullaby, to the nail ; that must go in the coflin. The j moustcr trust is thus feeling its way t> (est your patience and the ability of the Alliance on cotton ties. The Jute Trust may again arise .and shake itself. "What can the individual do? Answer: Nothing but submit. What can the Alliance do, with every old and new member in active affiliation and good standing? Answer: Give relief and demard respect. I therefore send you this personal appeal to sec-1) it that your subAllimce meets on the day appointed, and that all members bo requested and urged to put themselves in good standing with the State and National Alliance by p :ying their annual dues, which will be twenty-five (2oc.) cents State and ten (10c.) cents National. All back dues 3re to be cancelled. The County dues can be arranged with the County Alliance. The Natioual Farmers' Alliance, in O.Mtvirtil lina fnl* OU^IVUIC VJllUtll, UUJ J/. T V.

Reorganize your defunct Alliances, elect delegates to your County Alii ance and see that they attend; forsake not the assembling of yourselves. Your next county meeting, according to Constitution, will be the second Friday in April. I hope to communicate with every County Alliance at that time. If you have had no county meeting for some time, let it be known that one is called to meet at your Court House on the second Friday in April, and go to it. Fraternally, J. C. Wilborn, Pres. F.

Mr. and Mrs. Bachman are very popular in Brookland and their host of friends wish them a long, happy and prosperous life. One of the largest congregations that has ever been seen in Brookland assembled in Mt. Tabor Lutheran church "Wednesday evening, March 2d.

The first to enter were two lovely little girls?Nellie and Leola Sox? dressed in snowy white with baskets of flowers in their hands, and took their places beside the minister, who stood waiting to receive them.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: 1 have just finished reading a copy of jour paper, and it brought to mind so many pleasant recollections of Lexington and it? people that I have decided to write a short letter for vrmr nnr>pr. - ~ ~ r ? Many changes have taken place since I was there. A great number of my dear friends have died, and others have left there and are now in different parts of. this and other States. I was very sorry to learn that the Lutheran church in your town has been burned. When I first heard of the sad occurrence, I felt like one of my dear friends was dead. I remember all of the friends who worshipped at St. Stephens' church, and I hope that the new stone building will soon be completed and that many of the congregation that I knew will be spared to assemble in it. I recall the good sermons that I have heard delivered by Itev. J. G. Graichen, as enjoyable indeed. This man of God and his estimable wife will always be kindly thought of by me. It was also my privilege to hear, in that same church, several instructive lectures which were for girls and boys. This has been an unusually dry winter, so little rain has fallen that I the farmers are fearful that the grain crop will be very much injured. Quite a number of wells have failed in this neighborhood and in other parts of the county. Mae. Tribute cf Respect. At a regular communication of Pomaria Lodge, Xo. 151, A. F.
