The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN, E< iu r at o Pub', sher LEXINGTON, S. C., WJr>EsDAY. AUGUST 3. 1898. DON'T CRIPPLE. Without intending to tread on the toes of any odp, or to arraign - - * ill f lv any candidate Derore me Dar 01 puulic opinion for any views be might hold on the subj* ct, we propose to give our own individual opinion as to the noble mission of and grand work being accomplished by Clemson Agricultural aDd Mechauical College. Born in the midst of a heated and bitter political revolution, for which its birth was above all other considations, mainly responsible, no other institution of learning in our fair Southland, has made such wonder-, ful strides on the road to success iu so short a time as has Clemson. It must not be forgotten that the great success won by this institution has been achieved in the face of violent opposition. It stands today preeminently above any similar iustitu tion in the South. Its equipment is the bc-st and most complete; its professors are specialists of recognized ability and its course of study so thorough that its gr^Juates readily find flattering positions c-f honor and emolument. " ' ? J.i it lias largCiy bUCCft'UtfU iu uuaaing away the baniers of prejudice reared by its enemies and we only hear now and then the complaint of its expensiveness. Even some of its warm friends are grumbling about the cost of maintaining it and are demanding a reduction of its appropriation and retrenchment in its expenditures. A little thought will convince them that in order to keep the College up to its present high standard and to develop its great possibilities oi usefulness requires a considerable sum of money, and that to divide its revenues would seriously cripple it by impairing its usefulness and prob ably work its downfall and ruin. A farmer, to run a fine large farm, is necessarily forced to expend a large sum of money to maintain the fertility of the soil and to increase its productive capacity, but. in the autumn when the crips are harvested the result proves the wisdom of bis iivestment. He knows that to reduce what appeared to a one or two Inrse farmer an extravagant bum of money, would seiioubly and cHe^tually decrease the productiveness of his fertile lands, and if persisted in decay and ruin would be the inevitable resjlt. So it is with Clemson. It is a magnificent farm whereon your boy ^ can ham, not "how to run a straight furrow and to chop cotton" but how to get the greatest yield from the sfil without impoverishing it; to conduct farm work on sound business principles; to elevate the condition of farm life. It is a grand workshop in which the son of that struggling mechanic can learn and be trained in the sciences of mechanics, art and industry and thus successfully equip him to meet and successfully con quer the stern realities of life. The liwyer has his colleges and universities in which to learn the technicalik ties cf his profession; the doctor has his higher institutions, elaborately fitted up with fine and costly i, instruments and other paraphernelia which he attends and hear lectures, and witness demonstrations and experiments. Then why not the farmers and mechanics have a ce liege where they can send their sons to be taught the higher branches of agiiculture and mechanics? Don't cripple demon! Farmers and mechanics, divorce the College from politics! Gen. Fitzbugh Lee has been made military governor of Habana. Just when this was done is not known, but that it is a fact, remains a doubt no longer, as the information coun s from a source the reliability of which is beyond question. It will be remembered when Gen. Lee was recalled from Havana by our government and the last boat loaded with American citizeDs left, be was jeered and sneered at by the Spaniards on the warf, when be responded, 'T will see you again." The South Carolina troops, which are a part of Gen. Lee's command, will go with him to Cuba when the proper time comes, to do garrison duty if peace be declared, or to help capture Habauaif more fighting is to be done. Our soldiers are anxious to get to the front, and they will be glad when they are ordered to go. On Saturday Governor Ellerbt will speak at Glenn Springs to the people of Spartanburg couDty by special invitation. These good people are ardent admirers of the governor, and knowing that he has not had the ebance on the stump to give the people an account of his steward ship, they very kindly iuvited Lim to speak to them Saturday. Here the Governor will have as much time as he wishes, and it is safe to say that he will add a number of friends to h s already large list. I DISPENSARY VS. DRUG SI ORE. j Mr. C. L. June*;, in a communication in this issue, docs very well as far as he goes, but the trouble with him he does not go far enough. He sets up a code of morals which all Christians and church members should accept as their standard without question and without investigation. He fails to tell us that the so called Prohibitionists of today do not propose to give us absolute prohibition. He failed to tells us that to vote for Mr. Featherstone tho Christians and * 1 -! 1 ll.. ,.^.1 cnurcn memoers vioiaies me b?wcu vow they took in the presence of God and his witnesses more than they would should they vote for Gov. Ellerbe, because the former proposes to do something which, under the provisions of the Child's bill and the piohibition pla^orm, he cannot fulfill, no matter how willing he may be to do so: while Governor Ellei be promises only what he can and intends to redeem. He failed to tell us that the prohibitionists do^not propose to give us absolute prohibition but only to restiict the sale of whisky to certain uses and make dispensaries out of drug stores, the result of which will be to open wide the flood gates through which whisky would flow in an uninterrupted stream: the establishment of bar rooms all over the State under the name of drug stores and there would be a surprisingly num? * ' 1 <1 Oer ol sicli people goiug mere to gut "mediciue," tbus eDcoufraging tbe habit of deceit and bypocracy among tbe people. We are an absolute prohibitionists. We want to see every drop of tbe accursed stuff wiped from existence and men to forget bow to distill it. We want to see a stable aud bealtby moral sentiment established that will condemn dram drinking in high as well as low places. We want to see tbe fmger of scorn pointed at tbe respectable moderate di inker as well as at the sot who lay in the ditch by the roadside. We want to see tbe Church of tbe living Christ cease its custom of giving its communicants fermented wine to drink at tbe celebration of tbe Lord's Supper. Iu short we want prohibition that will prohibit, lu tbe meantime not having even the promise of this we refuse to accept the shadow for.the substance and of the two evils we support the lesser which is the dispensary. Yes, we support Governor Ellerbe because he is an honest, Christian gentleman of the Methodist faith; because he has made an efficient Governor for the whole people of the Stale, koowiDg no faction, clique or clan; because ho is a strong temperance man and the only candidate outside of Featherstone whose faith is prohibition, but who honestly believes that the dispensary system is the best solution of the liquor question at this time, udJ the interests of the people will best be subserved by its continuance. Always Favor a Fair Tote. To the Editor of the Dispatch: It has been a considerable time since I got a circular note from C M TT>C_.3 V ~ : 1 "T?.. 1-.UIU, JL4&IJ * 111 IKTgiJkkKA IKJ IbC X ItC Ferry1' question. I have been so engaged that the matter has escaped my attention till now. I am always in favor of a fair <ktotev in everything pertaining to public as well as private affairs. I am peifectly willing to be tax 3d to maintain two, or even three free ferries on Saluda for the reason that, if Saluda was a smaller stream, W2 would have to build at least five bridges over it, and beiDg larger does not acquit of our obligation to the people at large and especially those on the north side. Living as I do, very remote from that portion of the county, my desire for the ferries cannot be put in any other light thau a wish to do my duty toward the people of the county at large. Yours for justice, J. F. Lyles. North Edisto, S. C, July 12, 'DS. Featherstone for Governor. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I see from your editorials that you oro cnmiAi-Hiirr H/ivornnv Tvlloil,a for UIV II O *J4IV1 VU 4V1 re-election which you have a perfect right to do. but, Mr. Editor, if ever}' professed Christian in LexiDgton cjunty, yea, in the State, would carry out the obligations they made whtn they united with their church (what ever church that may be) they would on election day cast their vote for Mr. Featherstone, and when they vote otherwise they violate their church obligations, and if every minister of the gospel will rise up in no uncertain vtice and do bis duty to the cause of Christ, and each church member will do likewise, prohibition will win, so let each Christian at least in Lexington county, show to the world which side he is on. If he votes for prohibition he at that time is on the Lord's side, and if he votes against prohibition he is at that time serving the devil. Yours truly, C. L J ones. Batesburg, S. C, Aug. 1 181.18.

If he does not. it means nervous prostration and mental, if not physical, death. Kor a man who gets into this condition there is a remedy that will brace him up, put him on his feet and make a man of him again. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It goes to the bottom of things. It searches out the first cause. When a man is in this condition you can put your finger on otic of two spots and hit that first cause ? the stomach or the liver or both. This great medicine acts directly on these | spots. It promptly transforms a weak stomach into a healthy one. It facilitates the flow of digestive juices and makes digestion and assimilation perfect. It gives a man an appetite like a boy's. It invigorates the liver. It fills the blood with the life giving elements of the food, and makes it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood is the life current, and when it is filled with the elements that build new and healthy tissues, it does not take long to make a man well and strong. It build- firm, muscular flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve fibers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality into every atom and organ of the body. It etires nervous exhaustion and prostration. Nothing " just as good can be found at medicine stores. " I had suffered alnv.it eleven years with a pain in the hack of my head and hack." writes Mr Robert Hubbard, of Varncr. Lincoln Co., Ark "I suffered for eleven yenrs and spent a great deal of monev for doctors and medicine, but did not get relief. Then I tried four littles of tlie 'Golden Medical Discovery' and improved grcatK i sent for five more and now am glad to tell | everyone that I am in good health."
