The Lexington Dispatch I Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juiy 19, 1894. G. M. BARMAN. E-iitor and Publisher ? ~_ LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. Al'KIL f, 93 "Excitement has b?cn at fever beat j during the past week. Rumors have come thick and fast upon the heels of each other. Confusion seems worse confounded and Congress and a majority of the people seems to have ; run mad over the delay of the Presi- j dent to declare war with Spain and pitch right in and lick her out of her boot3 whether she is wiliiDg to be so : licked or not. In all the impatient | and unreasonable demands of an j aDgry and excited rabble and amid j the clamor and confusiou of voices in Washington, theie is one man \ whose hands falter not in guidiDg j the Ship of State through the tem- j pestous waves of threatened war and whose head is unturned by the difficulties and perplexities besetting him on all sides. That man is Win McKinley, President of these great United States. In calinn serinity aDd with apparent indifferent stolidity he is handling the delicate intricate matters involving international laws and customs, as well as touching our owd, in a patriotic and statesmanlike manner. Heedless of the taunts and bitter and unjust abuse of enemies and unmindful of the entreaties of fiiecds, he has pursued the even I tenor of bis way, laboring solely for ; America's honor and America's glory, fortifying and preparing to j meet any emergency which might I be placed iu his way,either by chance j or design, with a courage and fortitude born of one's devotion to and j love of country. Great occasions j produce great men, and in his calm- j ness and digDity, President. McKinley ! seems to have been created by j an all wise God to meet the great | ; crisis now upon us, that His power ! might be acknowledged and Ameii- j ca's dignity maintained. I The indications are that the Su- i preme Court has turned Judge Si- ! monton down and has ended the government by injunction which has ; disgraced our State aod humiliated our people. If this provts to be I # i true it is indeed glorious news and a cause for great rejoicing arnoDg all those who believe in the light of the ? State to administer the laws enacted : for the protection of life ?Dd pro- j perty and the morals and peace of the State.

I Recruiting In B j!h the Army and Navy Goes 0.:?Dead Bodies From the 111 Fated Maine Cnitinue to Arrive. Key West, Fla., March 31.?During the past few days it has been ap- j parent that the warships have not I ceased to make ready for emergen- j cies. Thev have continued to fill up j with coal and provisions, as well as j to redouble their supply of muni- I lions and explosives. The picket ships have been constantly on the alert between this city, Torlugas and Havana, but their varied missions, often very hurrial, are wholly unknown to outsiders. The flagship Xew York continues at anchor, just outside of the reefs, where she directs movement of the flett, and stands like some great sentinel at the entrance to the bar bor. The cruisers, only recently immaculate in their guilt and white coats, now look more serious in their drab and black colors, which they donned a few days ago. The naval station is a scene of tumultuous activity, where all the vast surplus munitions and provisions are 1L 1 Stored, woue me coax jaius axe wcing rapidly extended, sacrificing iD Ibis woik some old cocoanut trees, which have stood guaid there for three or four generations. The streets are still crowded and overrun with naval officers and maiines, taking a brief respite ashore from the monotonous existeuce aboard ship The bodies of the poor unfortunates taken from the Maine continue to arrive evrry few days, and are given military burial at the cemetery. Old Fort Taylor is being fitted with new guus, and its antiquated Columbians are being primed for use in any close action. The immense guns for tha new mortor battery are expected to arrive tomorrow, and will be immediately mounted. These guns aie capable of destroying an enemy's warship five miles away. Recrutiug in both the army and navy continues, and it is commendable to observe, in the face of possi- j ble war, that a greater number than ! 110110I Iijpo ormlied fnr pd mission UUUUi UU I V v% *v? ? , : into the ranks. The naval machine shops, which had been practically closed for a long time, have been reopened aDd numerous machinists and mechanics present a busy sceue. It has also been decided to immediately enlarge the facilities of these shops, and the contract hps been let to that end, in the past few days. Agents of the navy department have secured options on all the large vacaut buildings in the city, which could be used for hospital purposes, and the Catholic couvent has been tendered for the same purpose by the Sisters to the government in case of hostilities. The work of deepening the harbor and approaches to the naval dock is progressing so that the largest war sbips can soon lay alongside for coal. We are all watching and waiting, not knowing what a day may bring forth. The navy department Monday sent telegraphic orders to the auxiliary board at New York to purchase immediately 10 vessels for the auxiliary navy. These boats are to be between 2,000 and 10,009 tons burden, and the board is directed to conclude the purchases as soon as possible. Key West, Fia , April 2 ?A tug endeavored to pass the flagship New York too close last night, and did it . i~ ?r a oi Huswer iLie euguais ui iuc v?niships, whereupon a four-pound shot was fired across her bows. Those on board the tug received a severe fright. After the investigation which j followed, the tug was allowed to proceed into this harbor. The call to | quarters and the firing of the shot j was done with extraordinary rapid- ; ity, and showed to what a pitch of alertness this^ec-t has attained. ? Lets frcm Coh:e Island. To the Editor of the Dispatch: In giving you what news that could be culled from this immediate locality, I could do no better than reiterate the common chat viz., that of mariiage and of raising cotton to an advantage. To the former I cannot well raise any serious objection at this time, for the voice of whisper would, most likely, command me hush! j thus showing that the Paradisiacal j institution is not totally abrogated, J and further concluding that a happy j marriage is the greatest blessmg and { consolation which can be enjoyed on j this side of eternity. In referring to ! the latter, I could rehash the oft ! repeated estimate of the cost of pro- ; duction etc., but I shall not dwell i upon this. We are to lament that j we know this only too well. I must j say that it seems to me, doubly j strange to notice cur farmers, with their teams, some in good condition, ! others not overladen with superfluous I ilesh, applied, with all the mechanical ! force obtainable, in hauIiDg that curse to millions of fanners, commercial fertilizers. This is not as it ! A Go:d Time at Bciiisg Sp ines To tlie Iviitor of tbe Dispatch: Those wLo attended the closing of Miss E-st<He Imigford's school at lioiling Springs, ou the night of March the 10;h. will ever remember which ;i young man hv hanging to *?[ the car few bell saves the fta life of Iter -over condemn- m| \ will dure everything for vSpj^. Women arc readier to \A./ make heroic saciifices ^3 !' BS^'' than thc-y are t<> take /,3P the com m on pi ace. osss 'dices* everyday precautions ?^ which insure their great- N3t?=w* est happiness. Most w?men arc cureless about W?gx?i&-v>l?gc their health. They forget that physical weakncss and disease will y ~ wreck the fairest chance otit completely from CJS^tea??E^ happy womanhood and wifehood. Weak, bilious, dyspeptic women arc robbed of their natural attractiveness and capacity. They lose healthy color and energy and ambition. The blood becomes poor and thin and laden with disease genus. The true antidote for this condition is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It .acts directly upon the digestive powers .nut tne liver, creating: pure, red, healthy blood free from bilious impurities; it renovates every organ and tissue of the body, building up hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength and imparting nerve power and permanent j vitality, which malt extracts do not give. Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby. Perry Co.. Issd., j writes: "In the year of 1S94 I was taken with stomach trouble?nervous dyspepsia. There was j a coldness in my stomach, and a weight which seemed like a rock Everything that I .ite gave me great pain: I had a bearing down sensation; was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge around my right side, and in a short time I was bloated, i .vas treated by three of our !>est phvsicians but got 110 relief. I was so weak I could not walk across the room without assistance. Then Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to me and I got it, and commenced the use of it. I began to improve very fast after the use of a few bottles. The physicians said my disease was leading into pulmonary consumption. and gave me up to die. I thank God that my cure ts permanent." should be; but in defiance of the fact that we farmers have been urged b} men who know whereof they speak, by Alliances, aud from various (thei sources, we go en blindly and un thoughtedly, preparing every pes siblo way by which we can surpass our fellow neighbor in the production of cottoD. Oil, ye son3 of the soil' How daik are your fortunes. How very hard it is for us to finally conclude that necessity, that stimulus to human exertion, shall force us to sadly realize that there is a m-nvidptiro attending virtue and a L~ ~ ' o curse attending vice. When we re fleet on past occurrences, on tLe changes that we anxiously await for at the present day and those big events now probably at the door, aDy person who thinks for himself, and is not callous to all important things, must feel a degree of interest in our country's welfare. It is a self evij dent matter of fact that there has been, and there ttill is, a great deal of oppression and consequently, rniseiy amongst us; but we have no room for complaint. It is our fault. We have unloaded the set pent of discord before our own doors, and individually cue seeks to take care of himself only, as charity is said to begin at home; but mark me, there is a time coining when we shall, of necessity, be forced to come together as a unit and not only to simply unite, but act as regards each others welfare and concentrate our forces against the ever surging monoplies and trusts. It must be taken far granted, and our own experience and observation will justify the conclusion, that all things are not light in the human family, the sides do not balance, and it rather seems that our side needs springs and levers which will aid us j torisefiom our present low state. As to what shape these levers and springs shail come to us as blessings i I know not, but I bope with others that we can devise some means for the better protection of producers of cotton in this and in other States. To view the situation in this light seems but natural. We are in treuble, others are merry at our disj tress. Some command us because j it is their pleasure and we must obey | however imperious the command.4 j A favored few claim almost the entire I wealth of the country and we must J be subservient and pay them for the ! privilege to live in it or very nearly j suffer extinction and starvation, j They have millions, gained by the j labor of au impecunious people, I while most of us have not the assurance of a day's provisions, nor money J to procure sufficient raiment, much less the promise of a fiiend in the day of adversity. How such differences come to exist amongst men? e know that to take from an}' one his or her rights of action without his or her consent, or giving him or her an equivalent is contrary to every rule of equity; but has anybody deviol,* f Tf l/i X * t Vt VX I Li kj Jk ?. not. wby crtaud we here idle when our enemies are already in the field? We are here like so many snakes with their backs broken, doing our share of waving our heads and woikiug our tongues, but to no avail, for we remain in the same condition as formerly, and if we have the least idea that Wall Street's population will come to our rescue, I have but to say that we will continue until doomsday to do thiDgs, as usual, by main strength and agricultural awkwardness, and that the monotony and sadness of our song which is applicable to out surroundings will ever be sung: The woru-oat livlds ncgl e'ed lie, Unrrnced the orchard stands For they who tended then; long ogo, H;tve gone to other lands Epoh. Hope Station, S. C., Mar. 20, '98. i We want the news from your section. j toe occasion with thoughts ot pleas ure. Il was cue of those good times which all present seemed to ei j ij. The night was calm aud pleasant, just the kind for an open air exercise and at an early hour the people began to come in from all directions, so when the time for the entertainment had anived quite a crowd had col 'ected in front of the handsome stage the inside of which no one as yet. had been permitted to view. But when the curtain rolled away, revealing the back and sides of suow\ whiteness beautifully decorated with i n tAvcnfii cinn q r.t ftvnrnrv^ono til# lum^uowug v* v . v. . H , .... numerous lights and beautiful bou ijuc-ts, and in the center of it all, a group of lovdy cedures with wav ing tresses and delicately tinted bow?, the charmed audience for an instant could but think that they had caught a glimpse of the fairy world. After prayer by Rev. S. 1\ Skumpert and a Sunday school chorus, "music and love," by the young ladies on the stage, with an accompaniment on the organ by Miss Langford, the curtain fell preparatory to the performance? by the "wee small ones" and man} a smile of pure appreciation was seen often breaking into a laughter of enjoyment at the quaint ways in which the different ones gave Iheii witty little speeches. Next followed dramatic recitations and comic dia logues by the older pupils ii.ter s]re:sed with sweet strains of music, vocal and instrumental, led by Mr "Bob" Langford with his favorite ini i i : A strumtnt, mi uanjo, accompai ru with the guitar by Miss Estellr. The dialogues were especially fiu< and the recitations were so well rendered that the audience was held spellbound, especially in Dan Peii ton's ride, by little Miss Girlie Clarke, when one coull almost hear tie shouts of the doomed and the roar oi the waters as they swept down the valley of Conemaugh. The last per formances on the program were "Beautiful Belles" an effective motion song, by the girls and iu response "Beautiful Dudes," a comic motion song by the little boys in mirth provoked dude a'tire. Miss Langford then thanked the audience for their excellent behavior and announced that the next performance would be a grand cake walk, in which all who felt disposed were invited to participate. In a few moments a large table covered with lovely cakes, furnished by the generous hearted ladies of the community. This to some was the most pleasurable part of the evening but to others, whose best girl walkec off with some ft How from a distance it was a mo.-t deplorable affiir in deed, nevertheless, the majority were loath to have the place where thej had been so excellently entertained aud the hours were growing smai ere the old school house was finally deserted. This ended the entertainment wbict reflects credit upon the teacher and all who participated and closed the second year of Miss Lmgford's career at Boiling Springs which ba< been so successful that the people asked her to teach for them again showing their appreciation of hei efforts and ability as teacher.
