The Lexington Dispatch | Burned April 25th; rebuilt Julv I 19. 1894. G. M. H ARM AX, Editor a r.d Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., " WEDNESDAY. MARCH 1C, 1&9S J The average reader of the Colum- i bia momiDg dailies for the past sev- j eral days could not f il but notice what a state of moral and political depravity alleged to exist iu that city. If we arc to believe the bold charge of fraud in elections, the j prevalence of blind tigerism and immorality in general, then that citymust be far worse than Sodom and Gomarrah are reported to have been. But we are strongly in- . clined to the belief that the picture j has been awfully overdrawn and the evils complained of are greatly magnified. We cannot couceive howsuch bold and flagrant violations of both the divine and human law could be permitted to exist in a city whose citizens have such a high reputation for reverence of law and order and a holy and deep love for the highest state of morality and virtue. Surely, * ? ief0 QC ! if such a state or ammo c.wo..~ that outlined by the Register, the police department would have beeD forced to, make an effort at leas,t to repress lawle6sless and brirg the lawbreakers to justice. Both Spain and the United States are still pursuing their warlike preparations with unusual vigor and activity. Both governments have, during the past week, purchased war vossels, the former from the Chilian government and the -latter from Brazil. The incident of the week, j ^ however, was the presentation of Minister de Lome's successor to President McKinley and his friendly reception by this government. The war fever is still at burning heat and | diplomacy is required to avoid a col- j iision. The court of inquiry, which has been investigating the blowing j up of the battle ship Maine, has j given out nothing for publication. ! The ships composing the Nurth Atlantic squadron are being distiibuted along the South Atlanii? ; coast. Notwithstanding all these preparations the heads of thedepartm2nts have nothing to say as to the j meaning of all this activity or the real intention of this government in j regard to the Cuban question. ?: Boss Webster, the leader of the- ! Black and Tan Republicans in this State, is Boss no longer. The Na- ! tional Administration has turned down two of his henchmen during the past week and the boss given a I very black eye in consequence. Capt. Lawson D. Melton, a native Republican, and the chief of the Lilly White?, has been appointed United States Marshal for the District of South Carolina, over Webster's candidate, and the President again reminded the dethroned boss that he no longer had the ears of the Administration by appointing W. V: Fair, another native Republican of the faith of the Lilly Whites, post master at Newberry, over anegro en dorsed for the position by Webster. In an interview yesterday Governor Ellerbe expressed his belief that a war with Spain is inevitable and that, in the event war is declared, he will personally assume command of the State troops and said that he had issued orders to Adjutant and In- , spector General Watts to fully equip every company and to direct the Captains to recruit their companies to the numbers required and declared that he had about 5,000 men armed and ecjuipped, "who would respond to a man and fight a circular saw to protect the honor of the American flag.'* The Risers were convicted last j week in Newberry of burglary and ! larceny, in robbing the store of D Hipp at Pouiaria, and Judge Benet i seutenced Albert and Willie Riser to i the penitentiary for five years and one month and James A. Riser to IS j months on the chain gang. Bickley, j two negroes and perhaps others, will . be tried at an extra term of the couit I next month, charged with being im- j plicated in this robbery. # j The Chippewa Indians, on the , reservation near Superior, Wis., have I expressed a determination, through j their Chi? f, Powdeif .ce Lou, to j volunteer in the United States army in case of any serious difficulty grow- i rw/ieorif tlroirtf .'1 rolalinns i iUg UUL 1UC U > j with Spain. The Prohibitionist have issued a I call for a State convention to be held ! io Columbia on the 14th of April, to j nominate a full ticket for State offi- j cers, pledged to support prohibition. ! This ticket will be nominated sub- j ject to the result of the Democratic j primal ies. ? i Through the Hon. J. Win. Stoke.-, j Gen. Joseph L. Stoppelbein has tendered the war department the i services of the first biigade of South Carolina calvary. j Id the second primary held yesterday for the Mayoralty of C tlurnbia, W. Mc. B. Sloan, the present encnmbent, was defeated for re eleciiou by Col. T. J. Lipscomb by 2*27 majority. The election was conducted quietly and both sides agree that there was a total absence of fraud. Attorney General Barber has expressed himself as being firm in the opinion that the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Vandercook dispensary case will be favorable to the State. Swansea News. To tbc Editor of the Dispatch: The rumor of war with Spain don't curb the farmer's ambition to be ready in time. They think that bigger thiDgs than "the Maine" will be blown up if the plow stops. The doctors now are restive over the good health of the community. A road will be cut this week from Swansea eastward, to give additional inducements to trade and convenience to the traveling public. Dr. C. T. Dowling of Norway, has given one week in each mouth to the dental profession here and will give i notice to the public each month i through the Dispatch. Messrs. C. S. Roof & R. C. Shand are putting up a mammoth planing outfit here for dressing and turning" i i* out all kinds of building maicr.ai. jli will be run by a twenty borse power engine and will have a large capacity The Geiger Brothers will move their mill very near, on a tract of fine virgin timber about a mile from Swansea, owned by A. W. Martin, and expect to run a copartnership iuterest in the lumber business while cutting his timber. The committee appointed by the Baptist Sunday school, viz: Mrs. P. E. Hutto, Mrs. J. B. Harman, Mrs. J. B. Langford, Miss Rebecca Dowling, to solicit contributions to buy a bell for the church have succeeded well in their undertaking. They give au entertainment last week which was a success both in displaying the capacity of those taking part as essayist, declamers and actors, and also financially. The patronage of the community was commendable and their generosity has given sufficient funds to the ladies of the committee, and they have purchased a large, handsome ? 1 ueil, ULiU l.

In a few days now the monitor will be ready to advise all the congregation that the appointed hour has arrived to meet and give homage and honor and glory to the king, invisible, eternal; to the only wise and pure God. The happiest face in our little town can be seen at anytime in the efrtro r?f "Racf. A- Rrn - sinpp J. G. Fallaw became Ibe happy papa of a "bouncing baby boy." A like smiJe also lights the countenance of C. B. Dowling when he is reminded that a little pilgrim in his home, named Meta, will, ere long, siDg "papa, pa pa.'' But little Griff and little Meta carry on a musical concert which is very monotonous now, but which is expected to be more entertaining to the two households in the future. With all the havoc from forest fires, the rush and hurrah to "git ready"' to plant, with three doctors to see around and physic us, with all the entertainments and public cele brations and preachings, with all the bussle of our saw mill men and ) busy hum of our guano trade and mercantile spindles at wcrk, just add to this the trade and sale of Davies" and De Witt's Early Risers and you can see that we are in one j "everlasting commotion" all the time, but always glad to get the Dispatch j on Thursday aud read our county's doings and rejoice to note every good movement and support every progressive scheme in tbe history of our j great country.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by ccnstitu tional remedies. Deafness is cau ed by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gtts inflamed yo i h ive a rumbling sound or imperfect heariDg. and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, . n.l uuless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten j are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of j the mucousurs faces.

The fourth meeting of the teachers of Ltxington coimty was held in the graded school buildiDg the last Sat urday in February. This was a very profitable meeting and well attended. Miss Ellen Hendiix, the accomplish ed assistant in the graded school, gave a practical language lesson. The preliminary remaiks to the lesson were very appropriate and gladly received by the teachers. She taught language in such an attractive way as to engage the close attention of the little pupils. The teachers enjoyed the lesson also and felt themselves much benefited for having listened to it. This subject was discussed at some length by Messrs. E. U. Shealy and II. B. Dominick, who thought that language lessons should receive more attention. A paper which showed much study was read by Mr. Thad. Dreher on special preparation of the teacher for school work He said many difficulties lay in the way of the teacher. The school term is short and a small salary is received for the few months work. To make teaching a profession for life is to make up your mind to undergo many hardships. Unless a person be m love with the work to such a degree that he is willing to 3U\JI 11ICC LL.auJ- uig |;ivaouiv.o wuvi comforts of life be would hardly choose teaching as a life woik. He must have implanted iu him a desire to benefit mankind by impaitiug some of the blessings he has received. The farmer has his agricultural college the phys'cian bis medical college, the lawyer his law college and the teacher has his normal college and it should be attended by him. After the teacher has taken his degree of A. 13. he should then attend his normal school and give himself special preparations for his chosen calling. It is very important that the teacher have the very best of training, because he i9 to do a great deal in shaping the future destiny of our country. He is dealing with immortal souls, and a great deal is o^ving to him whether those souls under his care be tinally lost or saved. He is helping to form the character of the politician who is to coutrol future generations. The minister who is to look after the moral welfare of future generations comes under his care, indeed all classes of citizens are to be trained by him, therefore nothing short of the very best training should the teacher be satisfied with. The teacher who is afraid to spend a few dollars in getting literature to read will very apt to be pocrly paid by his par.ns, but he who can always spare a dollar for auything that will make himself a better teacher w ill be sure to not work at starvation wages for many sessions. Too many of us are anxious for a big salary when we have made such a small outlay. If the teachers were better qualified they would receive better pay. The free school system has been abused as buug a curse to our j country, but some of this is mis directed. No school is going to rise higher than the teacher. If the teacher be well prepared, live and energetic the school is apt to be prosperous. Teachers, let us endeavor to equip ourselves for the important work. Mr. H. ]>. Dominick made a nice talk on mathematics. He said every one's life is more or less linked to and dependent upon mathematics. At some time or other and oftentimes, daily do we call into use this science It is the best study by which the pupil can bo taught to reason, because it is the most exact of the sciences. Cultivation of tho reasoning powers is a very important part of education, and I think arithmetic and algebra, when judiciously taught, accomplish in a great measure the desired lesult.

Mffi March 10. 1S9S- tf much of the time formerly devoted to the teaching of mathematics is now beiDg consumed by other rtudies. It is a question whether this is a wise practice or not, but we are , confident that arithmetic enough ; should be taught to enable the i student to calculate readily all ac- . counts of ordinary business. The subject of having a summer j normal was discussed and I think all agreed that it should be held. ! Nearly every one present expressed J himself anxious to attend. Nothing, I think, will do the teachers of Lexington more good now than a good normal. If held, every teacher in the | county should attend without fail, j It makes the teachers more enthusi- ! astic by coming in contact with live j teachers.

"We leain from the Congressional Record that Tuesday, the Sth inst. during the discussion tf the urgeuc) deficiency bill in the House, Congressman Stokes made the following impromptu remarks: Mr. Savers. I yield two minutes to the gentleman from South Caro fina [Mr. Stokes]. Mr. Stokes. "Mr. Speaker, I take j it that no argument is necessary to commend this bill to the judgment of this House or of the country. It is, in fact, but an expression of the con elusions which have already been reached in the minds of all informed people in this House and in this country at large. It is scarcely nec essary, either Mr. Speaker, that I should state what all must be aware of, that the people of the State which I represent are in favor of this and of every measure which may be deemed necessary in the wisdom of our Chief Executive for the preserva tion of our national honor and vindi cation of the traditions of which oui Hag is the symbol. ''There is scarcely a day, Mr. Speaker, I might say scarcely aD hour, since the relations between this country and the Spanish Government became strained that the people of my State have not been send ing words of encouragement and assurances of support to the executive department of this Government The entire militia of our State?infantry, cavalry, aDd artillery?are already pledged. My people are ready for peace, and they are read) for war. In calm expectancy the} await the issue. "Within tweuty-foui hours they may be mobilized; and once in the field, they will go as fur a9 the farthest in support of the dignity of the nation and the honoi of the flag. 'I have to-day. Mr. Speaker,trans mitted, at the request of parties from my State, assuiances of that sort and requests for the addresses of enlisting officeis. In short, Mr. Speaker, never in her history has South Carolina more sincerely noi more unanimously illustrated tb< motto which for well-uigh a centun has inspired her sons?'Always ready with our lives and our prop erty' for the defense of lifceity and for the honor of our entire country.'1 (Applause.] We do not think that in case ol war with Spain, or any other govern menl for that matter, he has promised too much for his immediate constituents in particular and the peopkof this State in general.
