The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 2uiii; rebuilt Jul} 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAX, E**t'T ar* Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1898. THE CAMPAIGN. The State campaign opened at Orangeburg last Wednesday with * *___ five entries in ttie gubernatorial race. The other State officers were represented by numerous candidates and their ranks have been greatly augmented since that meeting. The reports from the meetings so far held indicate that they were but slimly attended. The people, if we are to believe the reports, are taking no interest in them whatever, prefering to "pkw on," leaving the management of State government to the tender mercies of the shrewd politicians. Various reasons are assigned to account for this seeming indifference and apathy on the part of the people; but newspaper men and politicians may theorize in their efforts to explain tbe cause, yet a house to house campaign in the several counties will show that the average voter is taking a lively interest in State politics and is well informed upon all the issues which will come before him at the August primary. He is simply doing bis own thinking and saying nothing at present. lflftdinof ieanoe en fnr ilis JLliC ITT U www s/v cussed are the liquor problem and Governor Ellerbe s record; but as the people have time and again decided in favor of the dispensary system and will unmistakably put the seal of their commendation on the record in the primary, they n^ay be cousid^ ered as settled beyond peradventure. We had hoped that this campaign would be free from the bitterness of personal attacks which characterized and disgraced former campaigns in this State during recent years, and that it would be pitched upon the high plane of political education; but from the report of recent meetings, it seems that such is not to be the case and that it will only be a repition of former ones in which the more violent oDe candidate could abuse and vilify another^one the more popular he thought he became with the populace. This may be the case with the rowdy element, but it is certainly not so with the great mass of our people who desire to see political campaigns conducted in a decorous and orderly manner, and the political issues, which, as good and true citizens, they have an abiding interest, be fairly and honestly discussed. It appears that at least three of the aspirants for gubernatorial honors, have forgotten, or ignored, the issues and are jumping on Governor Ellerbe rough shod and without just cause. They have brought the batteries of jealousy to bear upon the character of the Governor and are hurling their venom steeped darts of unsupported charges at him. The Governor is having the same fight, to make that Senator McLaurin made last summer, but we are fully persauded that he, like McLaurin, will be upheld by the people and will be triumphantly re-elected, because he stands upon the eternal U* 11 UliJ1 J UOlIVVj WVUVJ and fitness. Through a petition signed by his comrades and by the exertions of Senators Tillman and McLauriD, the charge of desertion was withdrawn ? against Sheenan, the man who left camp Ellerbe after being mustered in the United States army as a volunteer, and went back heme. He has returned to his command at Chickamaugh. News from Along Broad River. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The long dry spell is broken and copious showers have revived the the drooping crops, as well as the hopes of the people. Threshermen are on the road preparing wheat for the miller who are keot busv srrindiner. Wheat is not ? " v o w generally as good as last year, but some few crops are very line. Mr. "Will Eleazer sowed a fraction over two bushels aud thrashed fifty-six and one-half. The oat crop is unusually good. Rev. Mr. Banks has improved in health, but is not yet able to preach. Rev. Mr. Younginer filled his appointment at Shady Grove last Sunday. We have had several cases of typhoid fever but am glad to be able to say that all are on the road to recovery. A new case of small pox developed a few days ago, the victim is a colored woman. Mrs. E. G. Haitiwauger of Edgefied, is vieiting relatives at Selrna. Mr. A. Frank Lever of Washington, D. C., is on a visit to bis father's home, near Wallaceville. We hope that the free ferry on Saluda river will soon be established, as it is hard on our people to have to pay for the privilege of visting the county seat. Other public improvements are badly needed, one of which will be mentioned in my next. C. J. Blanco has refused to exchange prisoners. ?mmrn?m."Q- ? m ?J mi-' ? ? ii? Irmo Jottings. To the Editi r of the Dispatch: Rain has fallen in abundance, and the farmer wears a happy smile as he now views the prospects of a bouatiful LarvtsL ibis fall. Peaches and blackberries are ripeniDg plentifully, and we don't care much what the price of meat is while fruit lasts. Rev. M. L.

Mr. R. E. Mathis, who has been attending Wofford College, is home. Sunday, the 12th inst., while Mr. and Mrs. John Warner of our town were away visitiDg your correspondent discovered a fire that was preying upon the fowl house and hencoops of Mr. Warner in near proximity to his dwelling, which would have consumed Mr. Warner's entire buildings, had it not been for the timely work of our citizens. Indications are that it caught from an ash box. Sotwiav flip lOfh instant, between I """"' J v?~ ' 12 and 1 o'clock, during a thunder and rain storm, lightning struck the barn of Rev. N. S. Younginer, and it, together with two other buildings, were consumed by fire. The houses contained two bales of cottoD, about fifty bushels of oats, some harness, saddles and other things. It was by the strenous efforts of neighbors and fiiends that three other houses in the tame barnyard were saved, together with their Contents. II. Irmo, S. C, June 20, 1898. . Lots from Cedar Creek. To the Editor of the Dispatch: It is with much pleasure that I send the dear old Dispatch the following items from my section: Mr. J. C. Fort is running quite a large turpentine farm on the creek, and apparently is doing a good business. I wish him success. It has been very dry down here, but refreshing showers and reviving rains have cooled the atmosphere and given drink to parched vegetation. Crops are about medium and an average one will be harvested. Mr. Simon Lucas and Miss Mary Berry were married on the 5th of June. Mr. J. W. Scoffill has made a fine wheat crop. Mr. Henry C. Scoffill has the finest piece of cotton in this section. He had cotton blooms on the loth of June. His crop was planted in March. Mr. Editor, you must come down and visit the champion cotton grower. We will be glad to see you at anytime and will make you welcome. I hope to be able to give you more news next time. A. Z. S. Once Tried, Always Used.

Kaufmann. Scoundrels at Work. Spies Destroy a Portion of a Powder Works.?One of Them Injured and Taken into custody. Cincinnati, June 20.?The finishing department of the King Powder Company, in Warren county, was destroyed last night in a manner leading to the belief that it was the work of the enemies of the government. The building, in which was stored a quantity of smokeless powder, had /n-i/lontliT Jioem nn liv twn mpn | CUUWUbiJ WVU ufcvv? VM v j near midnight, one of whom was | badly burned and had been apj parently dragged away from the | burning building by his companion, j Smokeless powder in the condition it ! was in this department does not exj plode like ordinary powder with a i llash, but breaks into a blight light | and burns for some time. The great I light attracted citizens and some of | these met a stranger going to South { Lebanon. He is apparently a foreign < er, but was so badly injured that he | can scarcely talk. This company has j a contract to supply the government, j and this is thought to be the reason i for the destruction attempted. An Old Idea.

When a man break* down with that dread disease, consumption, and recognizes his condition, he starts out to fish for health. He tries this thing and that thing. He consults this doctor and that doctor. He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletic exercises. lie tries first one climate and then another. He tries the rest cure and the work cure. He grows steadily worse. That is the story of most consumptives. Finally, when the consumptive dies, the doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces rr>n<ijmr>tinn incurable. A thiitv vears' test of I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has demonstrat e^ that it cttrcs cfi per cent, of all eases of consumption, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease, before the lungs are too far wasted. In a consumptive there is a wcakfr spot than even the lungs. That spot is the stomach. A consumptive never really begins to die until his stomach gives out. The "Goldc n Medical Discovery'' not only braces up the stomach, but acts directly on the lungs, healing them and driving out ail impurities. Honest medicine dealers will not urge you to take an inferior substitute. "I had a very bad cough, alsi night-sweats, and was almost in my grave with consumption." writes Mrs. Clara A. Mcfntyrc. Box 17!. Ashland. Middlesex Co.. Mass. "A friend of mine who had died with consumption came to me in a dream and told me to take Dr. l'icrce's Golden Medical Discovery, and. thank the I.ord, I did so. By the time" I had taken half of the first l>ottle 1 felt much better. I kept ott until I had taken three bottles. That was all I needed. I got well and rflrong again." Whenever constipation is one of the complicating causes of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which are always effective, yet absolutely mild and harmless. There never was any remedy invented which can take Iheir place. They never gripe. ; ? ? Ths Spat Between Col. Watscn^nd Governor Ellerbe at St. George's. "Col. Watson said it was an unprecedented tbiDg that there \ve:e seven candidates for the office of Governor. Ellerbe bad been backed by a United States Senator and a Governor and got the largest vote ever given to a candidate for Gov- | ernor. Why, then was be opposed? Col. Watson then proceeded to attack in the plainest words Governor Ellerbes record. The reason for the opposition to him was patent. Before be bad been in office a year be was beaitily despised. Eilerbe's friends were ashamed of him and bis enemies were disgusted with him. He has been untrue to bis friends aud unfair to bis enemies. He has sought by patronage to buy bis enemies and has never remembered bis friends. But for bis connection with the reform faction be never would have been beard of. He was elected with a promise that be would remove the metropolitan police from Charleston. He delayed its removal for one master, removed it for another and received the just contempt of those who elected him. I believe it was a trade when he appoiuted Epton as Comptroller General. The Legislature rebuked him. In all his appointments it is believed he has traded from first to last. If he had been content to be W. H. Ellerbe and had not condescended to political trickstering, we would not be here today to oppose him. Col. Watson eloquently commended the gallant officers at the head of South Carolina's volunteer troops, but, said he, to help himself Governor Ellerbe ignored ail the colonels, the Confederate veterans and sons of veterans in his appointments. He appointed only one officer from his own faction to a high office, and that man could not drill a squad. I do not know but one man in my county who will vote for him, and that one says it is because Ellerbe is going to pardon a man sentenced to be hanged. Gentlemen, you may go ail over the State and you will find a concensus of opinion that he is an utter failure." ' Now we are going to hear it,'' was the remark as Governor Ellerbe came forward. He said he had been slandered and misrepresented and he challenged his opponents to prove one charge made against his administration. He welcomed criticism that was honest. He h;d always advocated the dispensary as the best solution of the liquor problem. "When Col. Tillman said the dispensary had "not made any profit he misrepresented the fact*. This elicited a remark from Uncle George who said that he had great respect for Governor Ellerbe, personally, but when he in his message to the legislature said educational system was without headship, without order and full of reduplication and followed that with the statement that its improvement was not practicable, then he showed lack of back bone. ! VUavlto fliic nrwl V t JUI1V.X W w*4.4 Vit V vv. MMV* called upon Col. Tillman to prove bis statement that some men got their fertilizer without paying for the tags. Col. Tillman: 1 11 show it beyond a reasonable doubt from the facts, if you'll let me speak. Governor Ellerbe replied that he had no time to spare, but if the proof was submitted he would retire from the race. Then ensued almost indescrible : confusion. Col. Tillman was en- i deavoring to get in a reply, with the j Governor talking simultaneously, j Friends of both disputants crowded j up, metaphorically patting each game j chicken ou the back and uigiug him j on. Tue Governor refused to re- , linquish the stand and turned to- | wards Col. Watson. , It was a supreme moment, for the j Governor bud to staud or f&il according to hi> dt-fenoe of the JSkIu*la Senator's tnetviiewc excoriation. To bis credit !>o it said that ho r< p-: 11-. d the accusations with vigor. I dare Watsun, said be, iu furnish one scicutalla of proof tbut i ever made a jhditical deal. If bis baseless charges were true I ought to be kicked out of ofiice, but the mail who robs another of his good name is worse than the thief who steals his horse from the locked stable. Aye, he is unworthy of the name of inau or gentleman and is no gentleman. It is absolutely false that I went into a contract with Charleston. I told them that whenever they gave me assurances that they would enforce the law I would remove the metropolitan police. I made that statement publicly, but I never promised any man that I would unconditionally remove it. I had more appointments than any other Governor had to make, but for every fiiend I made I gained a dozen enemies, yet some of these political pirates have tried to misrepresent me by saying that I traded appointments for popularity. You may defeat me, but no man under heaven shall misrepresent me to the people. I intend to run the government without fear or favor and not according to the dictates of bob-tailed polisi ians.v The governor's defence was roundly applauded, and his speech ended the meeting. 03ITUARY. Mrs. Jemima Josephine Bumette, daughter of David J. Son and wife, Maitha Aun, was born July 15, tS(>2, and departed this life May 10, 1898, making her earthly pilgrimage 35 years, 10 months and 3 days. She was dedicated to God in infancy by the ordinance of baptism, and in early life she ratified her baptismal vow by connecting herself to Cedar Grove E. L church, in which faith she remained a faithful member until death. On May 4, 1884, she was united in marriage to John B. Burnette. This union was blessed with six children, five living and one dead. She leaves an affectionate father and mother, five brothers and four sisters, and five dear little children and a sorrowing husband to mourn her departure. Peace be to her ashes and and rest to her immortal soul. W. H. It. Chamberlain's Pain Balm has no equal as a household liniment.
