The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul" 19,1S94. G. M. II ARM AN, Editor acd Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY Jl. 1898 FARMERS' INSTITUTE. We received a pleasant call from ! Prof. Henry S. Harlzcg, President ! of Clemson Agricultural and Mecban- j ical College, yesterday. Prof. Hart- i zog is a refined and cultured gentleman and a interesting and entertain ing conversationist. He was here overlooking the prospects for holding a farmer's institute sometime in the near future. He says that he will send out five squads of three lecturers to hold these institutes throughout the State and will have a grand round up of the lecture season at Clemson College. He proposes to make these institutes interesting and instructive and will exhaust every means at his command to make them so. The success of the institute in this couDty will depend entirely upon the farmers themselves, in whose interest these t I 3 Tf institutes are especially neia. xi iuey will take that interest that they should aDd show their appreciation of the efforts of this college to instruct and educate them upon the scientific principles of farming, by attending the sessions of this institute and closely and attentively fol low the lecturers, they will find that they have gained valuable informa tioa that otherwise it would have taken years of toil to have a< quired. Let out farmers talk this matter over among themselves and co-operate with Prof. Hartzog with a view of having a successful meeting. Two important events transpired in Columbia yesterday which caused more than a ripple of excitement. The first of these was the reception of the news from Washington that the Supreme Court had turned Judge Simonton down. That it bad de- I tided that his pets must shut up shop and leave the State. That they could no loDger hide behind the Federal court to violate a State law. It reversed the decision of Judge Simonton in the Vandercook dispensary case and declared the dispensary liw of South Carolina to be constitutional in so far as it prohibits the sale of whisky througiu agencies other than the dispensaries, but gives the citizen the right to purchase whisky in other States for personal use and have it shipped to Lfm. The other incident was the departure of Editor X. G Gonzales, of the State, for Tampa, Fla, to enlist in the regular army if he can successfully pass the examination. Failing in this, it is his intention to sail iumediately for Cuba and j jin the insurgents in their fight with Spain. It is a somewhat strange coincident that the passing of Mr. Gonzales, the inveterate enemy of the dispensary, and the original package shops should have occurred on the same day. The victory of Commodore Dewey in successfully bombarding Manila, destroying the Spanish fleet and capturing Fort Cavite is the most wonderful and remarkable naval achievement ever recorded in the an nals of history. For daring bravery, even bordering on the domain of abondon recklessness, gallantry and ^m-nlptpness of destruction. the victory was a brilliant one and places Admiral Dewey in the foremost ranks of Daval geniuses and one upon whom the admiring gaze of the civilized wotld is centered and over whom the American people have gone wild with enthusiasm. In seven hours after the beginning of the attack there was absolutely nothing of the Spanish fleet left to tell the tale of the crushing defeat but a few relics of debris. The people of South Carolina have shown their patriotism to a remarkable degree by refusing to patronize the original package shops which were permitted by Judge Simoator, and thus forcing them to withdraw from the State, whose laws they were violating. Senator Tillman had an important amendment added to the post office appropriation bill. It preverts star route contractors from sub letting their contracts. In order to get their money, they must be able to swear that they performed the ser- j vice themselves. \ Out of a squad of 52 volunteers j examined in Columbia Thursday, j eighteen failed to stand the medical examination and from this it is argued that Governor Eilerbe will have to issue a second call for troops, j The United States Senate has I stricken out the ?300,000 from the j post office bill, appropriated by the ! House for the purpose of experi- ! menting with the free rural mail j delivery. On account of the prevalence of j 8mall pox, some of the schools of Columbia have closed their doors. A Spanish spy was caught in , the ship yard, at Camden,* New j Jersey, last week, having in bis posses- j sion plans of the gun boat Princeton, j The biass band of the State J Colored College at Orangeburg, Las j offered its services to play for the j taoops while they remain iu Colum- | bia. Senators Tillman and McLauriu are urging upon the .fresiuem tue appointment of Gen. M. C. Butler as a Major General. It is probable th.it Ctpt. Xewham, of the Richland Volunteers, will soon wear a Major's epalette. Memorial of Bespect.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The cold weather has again given us a close call, but no frost this time It is impossible at this hour to estimate the damage, though it is thought to be considerable. The fruit ciop has stood the severe test fairly well, and the vegetables have also escaped reasonably well. As for the cotton it may require a few days of hot sun to see what it will do, but complaint of poor stands and replanting is frequent. Batesburg is quiet on the war, and so far, has not to my knowledge furnished any volunteers for Uncle Sam, but there are a number of the young men very much inclined tc shoulder arms and march to Cuba. Business, though somewhat dull, is much better than would be supposed. Since my last writing Mrs. Har. rison Corder has died and was buried at the old family cemetery near Bethlehem church. Her pastor, the Rev. E Hall, preached her funeral, which was a feeling and eloquent tiibute to the worth of the deceased. The accidental suicide of her eldest son only a few months ago, produced a sad melancholy on Mrs. Corder from which she never recovered and which finally carried her to an untimely grave. Our community generally is enjoyiDg excellent health. J The ladies of the Methodist church had an ice cream festival last Friday night. The occasion was a delightful one. Thev combined a dime reading. All at the hospitable resi dence of Dr. E. K Hardin. The cool weather did not prevent the flow of ice cream, and good cheer, as attested by the proceeds of the enteitainment. Rev. A. C.

The official report of Commodore Dewey has been received at the naval department at Washington and transmitted to the President and by him given to the public. It confirms the report of his victory in every particu lar. Eleven Spanish ships were destroyed, one hundred and fifty sailors killed and as many more wounded. Not an American life was lost and but one of our ships was but slightly injured. Dewey is in complete control of the bay, but the Spaniards retain possession of the town. The American commander had i most skillfully arranged every detail I of the action, and even the apparently j most insignificant features were car| ried out with perfect punctuality and | in railroad time table order. The position occupied by the Span| iards, the support which their ships 1 received from the land batteries, and I tbe big guns they had ashore gave ; thorn an enormous advantage. The American fleet entered Manila ! bay on Saluiday nigbt with the ' greatest of ease. The Spaniards had not established a patrol and there ; were no searchlights at the entrance i of the bay. Iu fact, the American : ships would have probably pressed I inside the bay without any challenge i j had it not been that some sparks flew i j up from the MeCulloch's funnel ; ! Thereupon a few shots were ex ! I changed with the batteries on Cor i ! regidor island, but the fleet did nol I slow down and soon took up a posi : tion uear Cavite, awaiting dawn tc ! commence hostilities. J The eaily hours of the morning ! revealed the opposing ships to each ( other, the Spanish flagship opening * j fire. Her action was followed bv > j some of the larger Spanish warships, i and then the Cavite forts opened up ' and the smaller Spanish vessel: i brought their guns into play. The American squadron, which j had been led into the bay and through i the channel by the flag ship Olympia. did not reply, though the shells of the Spaniards began to strike the water around them. The sbii,s ; moved majestically onward ^Yken j nearirg Baker bay, a sudden upi beaval of water a short distance I ahead of the Olympia showed that 4 the Spaniards had exploded a mire I or a torpedo. This was followed by ! a second and similar explosion. Thev ? j were both utterly unsuccessful!. The American fleet was then drawing nearer and nearer to the Span ! iards, whose gunnery was very poor, ! the shots from the C.ivite batteries i and from the Spanish ships being ! equally badly aimed, either falling ! short or going wide cf the mark. The American ships then passed | backward and forward six times j across the front of the Spaniards, | pouring in on the latter a perfect hail of shot and shell. Every Ameiican shot seemed to tell, while almost j every Spanish shot missed the mark, i After having thus scattered death I anddemoral zUion among the S[ aoish j fleet and the Spanish batteries, the l American fleet retired for breakfast. j and incidentally a council of war was I held on board the Olyinpia. The \ attack was then renewed and conj tinued with the result as above ! stated. . ^ . : f the Baby is Cutting Teeth lie sure and use that old and well j tried remedy, Mis.

The Spanish embassy denies the report that the Queen Regent will j bdicafe. The United States now demand that Spain give up Porto Rico as well as Cuba. The Jews of Ohio propose to purchase a first class war vessel and present it to Uncle Sam. It is said a strict censorship has been established over all war news sent out from Key WestIt i3 reported that the tug Leyden has successfully lande^Utwo expeditions on the shores of^uba. In anticipation of an invasion Spain is concentrating all her forces in the seaport towns of Cuba. A Spanish spy has been airested in Washington. It is said that the " i V * 1 ! evidence agamsi mm is conclusive. Tbe sentiment of a majority of the National House of Representatives is said to be favorable to the annexation of Hawaii. It has been practically agreed upon by a council of war to make a concerted movement on Cuba by the army and navy. Five thousand troops, provisions and munitions of war will shortly be rushed from San Francisco to aid Commodore Dewey. i * [ Admiral Montej \ after escaping from the fight at Manila, was killed by the populace, who were maddened by hi3 disastrous defeat. Another sharp but short fight has . been repoi ted from Matanza. A tor; pedo boat and ciuiser bombarded the town with deadly effect. ) Nearly forty five per cent, of the South Carolina volunteers were turn\ ed down on the medical examination i and had to return to their homes. 1 Secretary of War Alger has called upon Governor Ellerbe for a battalion, 1 which he has promised to send to ) Tl TTU- 1- _ a.

An attempt is being made to prejudice England against America by the Spanish by distributing circulars which assert that America menacs England. The insurgents are reported to be massacreiog Spanish women and children outside of Manila and that Dewey cannot control the mob, as his force is insufficient for land operations. The Columbia Evening Hecord is conducting a coupon contest. It offers a sixty dollar silk llag to the volunteer company receiving the largest number of votes. It is said that a military dictatorship will be established in Spain in order to save the crown for the young King. Martinez de C mipos, a former Captain General of Cuba, will be at its head. The United States warships Morrill and Yicksburg were ltd ir.to an ambush by a Spanish decoy Sunday and came near being suuk by the battel its of Morro Castle. They j made a close call and a narrow esJ cape.

This does not meet with approval of the troops and they have protested against the plan saying that the volunteers of each State are anxious to keep together. The war revenue bill was probably received in the Senate today from the House. It will prove to be n big bone of contention, however, as the bond feature is not at all acceptable to the Democrats wbo would | much prefer to authorize the issue ; of greenbacks as a substitute. An important war measure has passed the Senate. It authorizes the President and the general officers ! of the army to supply.the Cuban iu- I surgents with arms and munitions of ; war, and empoweiiDg officers of the ; army serving in Cuba to supply the i needy inhabitants of the island with I medicine aud subsistence.

Her seizure is regarded as a bad blunder. There was a meetiug of the colored people of Berkeley county at Monck's i Corner, on the (b.h inst., to discuss . j the war situation and to decide ' whether or not to tender their ser| vices to the State and nation.
