The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, 8. C., WEDNESDAY. MAY 23. 1898 The resolution submitted by the j Richland delegation to the State ! Democratic convention prohibiting the use of money by candidates in primary election is the very essence of absurdity and comes with exceeding bad grace. Outside of Charleston and the Black District, there is perhaps no place in the State where mors money has been used for political purposes than has been used in Richland county. The invironments there are such as to make the use of money an absolute necessity in order to preserve intact a clean and sound administration. But aside from this consideration, which as a matter of prudence we do not wish to agitate, a candidate, by the adoption of the Richland resolution, will either have to perjure himself or submit every item of expense, whether private or otherwise, to public scrutiny, and a failure to do so will make bim liable to be debarred from continuing the race or his nomination be declared ' null and void in event of his success j at the instance of any of his unsuccessful competitors should they be mean and low enough to prefer charges of excessive campaign expenses. Should a candidate, under the Richland resolution, give a friend from a distant point a cigar or a "smile,'' or extend to him any other act of friendship or courtesy or hospitality he would be liable any day < to be met on the stump with the charge of exhorbitant campaign expenses and with attempting to bribe a voter and be put to the mortifying and humiliating alternative of parad ing his personal affairs before the pub lie gaze or risk the chances of beiDg ruled out for disreputable practices by stcoping to the low and mean plane of a ward politician who owes his elevation to power to the length of his purse or the number of drinks he deals cut to his henchmen. The resolution was very properly rejected. The State campaign has been form- ! ally opened, and war news will no longer monopolize the attention of the people to the exclusion of all other matters of interest. The election of Col. "Wilie Jones as State Chairman was a graceful act and an excellent selection. The candidates will now begin to bestir themselves in the race for votes and the promise is good for an exciting and heated campaign. Candidates Ellerbe, Tillman, Watson, Archer and Brunson, to say nothing of the lesser lights are overcharged with campaign thunder and the political skies will soon assume a roseate hue from the Hashes of debate. The whisky question, it seems, will be the leading issue in the coming campaign and as there is such a diversity of opinion that it * v VIA # All would D6 aimcun to iorecast me result were the issue freed from all entangling alliances and circumstances were such that this question could be divorced from politics. But as it is, to our observation, the winning side is not hard to name. It was unfortunate that the Prohibitionists concluded to enter the political field at this time. It was an ill advised course and handicaps the movement at the start. Before the inception of the present effort to elect a State ticket pledged to the enforcement of a prohibitory law, many strong prohibitionists, men who would have worked for the success of the cause and would have voted for it, had already committed themselves and are now in honor bound to stand by their pledge and to redeem it. From this cause thousands of votes have been lost to the Prohibitionists which they would have others Ue controlled had the struggle been made at a time when no other issue was before the people to detract their attention and divide their support. Our judgment leads us to the conclusion that it would have been the act of wisdom to have made no fight for State offices this year, but for the Prohibitionists to have concentrated their forces in the several counties to elect | members of the General Assemblv who staEd pledged to enact a prohi- j bitory law, absolute and simple, and j to submit it to the people for adoption i or rejection at an election to be held J in an off year, and as they decide so j let it be. Two changes have been made to \ the Prohibition ticket. On account j of ill health Hon. L D. Childs has j been compelled to decline the nomi , nation for Lieutenant Governor and a Mr. Featherstone of Laurens, sub i stituted. On account of favoring i I the dispensary system the name of j D. H. Tompkins has been dropped as a candidate for Secretary of State, j I Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the ex- j Premier of Englarj^, and known to i fame as "The Grand 0!d Man, is dead. The State Democratic Convention i met iD Columbia last Wednesday i and Mr. I. H. MtCalla was elected j temporary cbairmau. All the coun- J ties in the State were represented except Georgetown, but their being a contesting delegation from Darlington the Convention decided that both sets of delegates had been irregulaily elected so that that county was without representation Hon. D F. Etird was on the credential's committee. The following was the delegation from Lexington: D J. Giiffitb, D. F. Etird, E. L. ? 1 Mi T 1*7 T-I t r* TV.-.. nnf] j AS Dill, 0. >> . JLi-XIglf, (J. U. X an UJ-IV4 I D M. Crosson. D. F. Efird was made a vice President and Hon. E. L. Asbill was put on the platform committee. Col. D J. Griffith is a member of the State Executive Committee. The convention refused to adopt Mr. Blease's resolution providing for a separate box to ascertain the views of the voters on the whisky problem. The dispensary system of selling whisky was endorsed and it was decided to hold campaign meetings in every county instead of every congressional district as proposed by i some. The committee will meet in ; Columbia today to arrange a schedule of dates for these meetings. Sunday's papers contained a long account of a naval engagement between the combined Ameiican fleet under Admirals Sampson and Schley on the one side and the Spanish fleet under Ctrvera on the other off Mole St. Nicholas. The movements of the ships and ihe incidents of the battle were minutely described, and wherein was recoumea a glorious viciury \>uu by the Americans. The number of Spanish fleets destroyed was put down at twelve while only two of curs were slightly disabled. Dewey's victory was claimed to have been overshadowed by the dash and brilliancy of Sampson's feats, and a patriotic fire of enthusiasm and pride was kindled in the heart of every American. But such news was too good to be true, and Monday's papers denied that such a naval battle ever took place, in fact the opposing fleets were thousands of miles apart at the time when the alleged battle is said to have been fought, and disappointment and chagrin were depicted on every face upon reading the con tradiction. Why can't we have a reliable account of the progress of the war, and not such unreliable vaporings of irresponsible penny-a-liners. $100 Eeward $100.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The loDg absence of the Irmo correspondent from the columns of (be Dispatch makes the editor wonder j what has become of him, and supposes that he has^either enlisted for the Spanish-American war or is hiding out from the small pox. A wife and a happy little bind of four needs the services of your correspondent worse than Uncle Sam does just now, and prevents him from offering his services to his country. Constant dread of small pox and fear of being registered as a boarder at the little new house just over the hill in the j j UUMiC?, VV UilJLi IliC iunu V.UULJ^JA | erected some time ago, has caused your correspondent to fortify himself behind a huge vaccination scab. Otherwise, he is here yet, as usual. So far as I am advised, there is no ; case of small pox in this immediate j neighborhood yet, but there are a lot { of sore armes. Mr. John Dreher, who enlisted for | the existing war, was home on a visit j before leaving his present place cf j encampment, and returned to j Columbia this morning. Mr. I. K. Nunamaker lost one of j his tenant food houses in the suburbs ' of our town one night last week by ! fire. It is supposed to have been i incendiary. Next Sunday is the day appointed j as Children's Day, at Uoiou Chapel, | in our town. It is hoped that it may j be much enjoyed. Mrs. M. L. Banks, Jr., is spending a few days at her father's, Elder [ Dixon, of Columbia. Miss Mamie Crooks still holds a i a flourishing school at Irmo Academy, i which will soon dose for this season I with appropriate exercises. Customers are not quite as plenti- j ful as flies are dow. The Spanish-American war, small j pox, high piices, dry weather and j tires are the most important topics of j conversation now. Everybody is j anxious for Sampson to meet the j Spanish and bury them in the mud, I as this seems to be the only thing I that will satisfy Spain. The A. C. L, via the C, X. A L ; and connections, now runs through to Greenville, and I notice that travel j has greatlv increased over this line. When I can find anything that j will do, I will write again.

" ^ " 4!^. in place of our story- < Writers, they have professional storytellers. It is their art to interest theit 4 listeners with tales of love, and marvelous adventures, and hair-breadth escapes, and -J magic cures. There's a story of a wonder- , ful medicine that has made thousands of cures that seemed almost magical, which < every woman should read or hear. To have heard it or to sead it, may save a wo- 4 man her own life or that of her husband. The medicine is the discovery of I)r. j 4 R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful spc- j cialist. for thirty years chief consulting j oir-;-,,, t,-, ii,P ,Tr(-;ij Invalids' Hotel ana ] J Surgic;;! Ir.-titiUe. at Buffalo. X. Y. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- 4 coverv. It makes the appetite hearty, the . digestion perfect, the liver active, the ** blood pure and i'ch. the nerves steady, the < brain clear and the body strong. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It 4 cures oS per cent, of all cases of consumption and diseases of the air-passages. It -1 cures nervous diseases and is the best mod- . icine for overwoiked m< n and women. A " woman may save her husband's life by j keeping a bottle in the house, and getting him to resort to it when he feels out-of- ^ sorts. All men are heedless about their health. Medicines stores sell it. Doctor -1 Pierce's reputation is world-wide, and his . fellow townsmen, of Buffalo, N, Y., think j so highly of him that they made him their representative in Congress, but his great love for his profession caused him to resign -J that honorable position that he might devote the remainder of his life to the relief and cure of the sick. i Another good thing to have in the house is a vial of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They cure biliousness and constipation and never gripe. 4 ANAUAL REPORT ! OF 4 E. L. WINGARD, Treasurer, ^ OF * ^ LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.
