The Lexington Dispatc h Burned April 25tli; rebuilt Julv 19, 1894. G. M. II ARM AN. boiwr ;i? o 1'i.b' stu i LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JULY 27. 1898. NOT INCONSISTENT. Since I have been connected with the Dispatch, and I presume befuie. its policy, under the direction and control of its Editor, Mr. G. M HarmaD, has been broad and liberal. It has been "unawed by influence and unbribed by gain." It has been the aim and purpose of the Editor to make the Dispatch a vehi cle for the interchange of thoughts and opinions of the people on ques tions of public interest. How well he has succeeded is clearly shown by the large list of subscribers. Holding decided convictions on political issues, but at the samctiine the col umns of the Dispatch have never been denied any one to attack auv editorial utterance. So much by way of a preface to a reply to a ciuel and cowardly attack made on the Editor of this piper by the Carolina News of last week. Since the establishment of that paper at Chapin the Dispatch has always cherished for it the mott friendly feeling. It never has nor does it now consider it in any sense a rival. As far as my knowledge goes the Dispatch has never lost a cent by the establishment of the News; therefore it cannot be truthfully said that this article is inspired by business jealousy. Being the author of the editorial over the caption of "Fair Play,'' which the News attempted to criticise I feel it incumbent upon me to reply above my own signature for two reasons, the first being to assume the responsibility and the second, by fixing the responsibility, to show how unwarranted, unjustified and brutal the attack was. I have been assailed from three different positions. The first being inconsistency; the second partiality, and the third obligation, and then the News calls up>on me to "specify" and proceeds to uncork ike viuls of its wratn ana pour its vite stun 011 uis head for appointing State constables. I was in no sense inconsistent in anything I uttered in that editorial. Because a person says something kind and pleasant of a candidate who is being hounded down by a set of hungry office seekers with "silly and nonsensical charges that would be unworthy the conception of even the "most illiterate corn field nigger,'' it does not necessaiily follow that that person takes sides one way or ^ the other. Only the weak and narrow B minded puts such a construction on III such an action. I was hollering up w no man's persimmon tree, I was only f trying to give justice to whom justice was due without saying an unkind word against the other candidates except that they were makiug unsupported and silly charges aud that this campaign of abuse should stop. The News man most assuredly must have been out of his mind when he asked who were makiDg the charges, and against whom? He could have seen from the published reports of the campaign meetings, ^ the correctness of these reports have never been disputed to this day, tbat Watson attacked Governor Eilerbe from nearly every stump, charging him with using the prerogatives of his high office in the matter of appointments to strengthen his political fences: that Col. Tillman attacked the Board of Phosphate Com mis- | sioners through Governor Eilerbe, of which he is a member ex officio, charging that a great deal more money had been collected in royalty than had been accounted for; that Archer was forced to acknowledge that he killed Epton in the Senate because Governor Eilerbe appointed him Comptroller General and Spartanburg county could not have two candidates for State offices. And so with the other candidates. The combination, if there is one, has been jumping on the Governor all along until a desire to see fair play j has been awakened in the hearts of the people and the fair and broad J papers have become aroused, entered j protests and joined in a grand chorus of condemnation. On the cutside of this issue is published a i strong article from the pen of Col. T. B. I Crews, of the Laurensville Herald call- j ing for fair play. It certainly cannot J be charged that Mr. Crews is under I obligations to the Governor as the j Editor of this paper is said to be. j If the News man had consulted the I outside of his own paper as often as the glass and sacbel he would have been saved the humiliation of showing bis ignorance concerning the State campaign. No, I do not consider Governor Ellerbe a man, but a gentleman of pure and unsullied character, of spotless and unimpeachable intcgiity; a Christian gentleman of high standing: an honest and upright gentleman against whom and whose public j and private life his political enemies j could find no daik spot. I was not partial, because I said i nothing againtt the other candidates wLich could l>e construed as harmful except that mentioned above. I am under no obligation to Governor El brbr; I have asked him for nothing vnd he has done nothing for me ex cept to make a Governor iu whose record I am prcud. The Editor of this paper is not responsible for that editorial. It was conceived and put in type by me, as assistant editor, without his knowledge and he never saw it until the Wednesday of its appearance in print; therefore, he could not have possibly "sung Ellerbe's praises" for having "done him" [ the Editor] "a personal favor," and he who says otherwise willfully utters what he knows to be maliciously false. It is brutally cowardly to be contiuously referring to an uuforturnate affair in which the public now has no concern and none but a person with low aLd mean principles would be caught doing such dirty woik. The only grievance that the News man can find with the administration of Governor Elleibe, is the appointment of State Constables, and I take it from an article which recently appeared in the News that the constables have trod very near somebody's toes near Chapin. It is the wounded bird that flutters?the kicked dog that whines, and if the constables had turned the searchlight on a little sponger another per sou beside that poor negro, for whose misfortune Editor Beard seems to take such a great interest, would have been caught in the mashes of thediag net. I have given the News quite enough free advertising, which, judging from the misstatements the News has time and again made against the Dispatch concerning the county printing and other matters, it has been working for for sometime, I have no more space to give it. James W. Ogilvie. THE DISPENSARY. Elsewhere in this issue Mr. W. M. AVilson gives his views on the whisky question which is now and has been from time immemorial agitating the public mind. The solution of this problem has engaged the attention of our wisest statesmen and profoundest philanthropists and numerous systems have been tried for the curtailment of its use, the restriction of its sale and the correction of the evils which How from the immoderate use of alcoholic liquors with unsatisfactory results. All men in all times have recognized the use of whisky a colossal evil against the health, morals and peace of the community in which it is sold and was, therefore, a proper subject for police regulation and in the exercise of her police powers the States by their organic laws are given the power to regulate or prohibit its sale as seems most conducive to the health, morals and peace of the peo pie, and in the consideration of this question this fact should be kept in mind. The tavern and open bar systems have been tried and the abuses committed under them by the men who sold liquor aie too fresh in the public mind to need repeating here. Under the Tillman administration we had a foretaste of prohibition. Liquor was sold everywhere, by whomsoever would, with impunity and no attempt was made by prohibitionists a r i??, au I lO emuice iut* piuuiuiuuu tuvxi prevailing. Drunkenness was prevalent and the people were almost demoralized. We oppose the high li cense system because we believe that it means a return to the open bars in another form but with increased evils, and, because it creates a monopoly that will prove a disturbing element in politics. The dispensary system is the only tangible and practical solution of the question. Imperfect as it now is it has reduced drunkenness io a perceptible degree, the reason for this belief need not be stated at this time. True the law needs many alterations and amendments. We know not as to the correctness of the assertion that wornout preachers and ex-saloon keepers are locked arms in the fight against the dispensary but it is a strange coincident that we find preachers advocating the Child's plaD, which proposes to es tabiisn bar rooms in every incorpo rated town under the name of drug stoics, and ex saloon keepers, many of whom have violated the dispensary law, are also fighting the dispensary. If the law was carried out as oiigiually intended it would be a great agent iu correcting the evils of intemperance, and to this end we should all join iu a united effort to strengthen the law by making the needed amendments, and in the meantime see that the present law is properly enforced both by the dispensers and the ex liquor sellers, munv of whom are responsible in a i i large measure for the prowling of j the blind tiger and the rowdjism and drunkenness which follow iu his wake.

Only on rare occasion? and under unusu d circurn .tanco? does the Dis patch tuke bides fur or against any candidate who seeks election in a primary election Fioin the trend of public events and the low plane upon which the State campaign has been pitched, the Dispatch believes that the time has at lived when every good and true man should use his influence in elevating and puiifyiug the political conditions in our State. Any fair minded man whose judg meut is unwarpped by prejudice and who has kept up with the progress of the campaigu, as published in the daily papers, must admit that the present canvass, instead of being a campaign of education, has degenerated into one of slander and abuse. While the manner in which many of the candidates are conducting their campaign may appeal to the vicious and ignorant, yet the great m iss of voters repudiate the bitterness and narshness with which it is being con ducted aud consider it an insult to their intelligence. Gov. Ellcrbe, seems to be the one upon whom his competitors have trained their guns aud it is admitted that he has given the .State a clean and clear administration, one that any South Carolinian can justly be prou 1 of aud even bis euituies, can tind no fault with him except iu his appointments. This being true is there any tangible reason why he should be retired to the shades of private life, simply to make room for another who gives no assurance that he will do better? Governor Ellerbe comes nearer representing our views ou political questions than auy of the other candidates. Ho represents the peace and unity element and believes that the time is ripe when factional strife should cease; that the weal of the S:ate demands that our people get together aguiu and with a united effort, bend their energies to the upbuilding of her varied industries, and the common interest of the people was such that it could be better subserved by a cessation of bitterness and strife. Being among those who believe thus, the Dispatch will hereafter use its influence to elect the representative of this policy aud that representative before the people today i3 W. H. Ellerbe.

AAtl/NA 1 A ? roill UU UUkLKJ^JJ UilUOC lUE ^/ttosenger train from Charleston to Columbia. on the Atlantic Coast Line met with an accident about 5 miles j from Columbia, where the road crosses Hampton's Mill pond. At the time of the accident the train was moving at a speed of fifty miles au hour and it is a wonder that no one was killed. Out of forty-oue passengers on the train only fourteen were slightly injured. Engineer Johnson, who bravely stuck to his post of duty, was painfully though not seriously hurt. Love that Atters. " Love i<; not love that alters when it alteration finds." That is one of the sublimest lines in all literature. It is the final definition of love by the world's greatest reader of the human mind.?Shakespeare. Nearly all women who truly love, love in this sublime way. Men seldom do. Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endures. The woman who suffers from weakness and derangement of her special womanly organism soon loses the power to sway the heart of a man. Her general health suffers and she loses her good looks, her attractiveness, her amiability and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for many thousands of women. He has devised a perfect and scientific remedy for women's ailments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive specific for all weaknesses. diseases, disorders, displacements, irregularities, and debilitating drains peculiar to women. It purifies, regulates, strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers sell it, and no honest dealer will advise you to accept a substitute that he may make a little larger profit. "I was afflicted with kidney trouble and I have always had a torpid liver." writes Mrs. E. Crosswhite. of Duffau, Erath Co.. Texas. " When I commenced votir medicine I was not able to stand on my feet. I used one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and five vials of his ' Pleasant Pellets.' I am now well.
