'flie Lexington Dispatch / Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. m. HaKMAN. Editor aad Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 10. 1898. Shoo ffy! CAMPAIGN PAY. On August 26th, State Campaign Day for LexiLgton, the candidates for State offices and also for Congress will address our people on the issues which will be the policy of the next State administration for the next two years at least. It is possible that the question of dispensary or prohibition will come squarely before the people for final settlement. Gov. Ellerbe, while a teetolar and believing in the principles of prohibition, believes at the same time that the dispensary system of selling intoxicating liquors is the only tangible, plausible and practical solution of the vexed question, will urge its adoption by the people. Mr. Featherstone will hold up the prohibition end of the contest, while Mr. George D. Tillman represents the high license sentiment. We have already given our views on prohibition and showed that prohibition will not prohibit because it is proposed, not to give us absolute prohibition, but to restrict the sale of whisky to scientific, mechanical and medicinal purposes, which, in other words, means simply, bar rooms under a new name. High license can only be had under the dispensary system unless a change is made to the constitution of 1895, therefore it is only a question as to who shall do the selling, the State or her citizens, in either case it will be sold for the profit that is in the sale of whisky. Now in all candor and sincerity, which can more efficiently enforce the nr indiriil. ! 1UYV) bliV OUTClCl^tI KJ bUW V* | uals? We take it that the State can better enforce ber own laws than can be done by individuals whose financial interest prompts them to violate the law rather than to its % obeyance. High license also creates a gigantic monopoly, which, if permitted to exist, is destinied to prove a disturbing element in politics and the chances are that vice aud lawlessness will triumphant over virtue and order. Its adoption will give I the rich man a great advantage over the poor one and will make the latter a menial slave of oppression for the former so as to control his vote. The people of the whole county should come to Lexington on the 26th, and hear the distinguished speakers discuss these vital and all absorbing questions. The ladies of the county can safely attend this meeting without fear of having their ears poluted with vulgar oaths, obsene language and witnessing ungentlemanly conduct, as ample provisions will be made to keep perfect order and all unrully persons who do not know how to behave themselves will be made to do so or be arrested. So our sisters, cousins aud aunts as well as our fathers, brothers and uncles should come to Lexington on that day. Now that the ginning season is about to open, we desire to call the attention of our ginners to the effort being made by the leading cotton factors of the country to have adopted a uniform bale. Many reasons are given why a standard sized bale should be adopted and the advantages mentioned are reasonable. The change can be effected at a small or no expense at all. All that is necessary is to make the press box 21x54 inches long on the inside aud deep enough to make a bale weigh 500 j pounds, jcrom practical rests it was found tbat tbi3 size bale was pressed with a greater density and when compressed the bagging usually placed on a bale will cover it completely thus protecting it from the dust and dirt cf transit and making it bring a higher price on the maiket. These are some of the suggestions which we throw out for the consideration of our ginners aud we trust that as a matter of convenience to themselves and customers, as well as to their financial interests, that they will make the change at once. In speakiDg of Campaign Day at Union, the Times says "that Governor Ellerbe was allowed five minutes, as he had official engagements in Columbia, on Saturday afternoon, and had to take the midday train. He was well received aDd given attentive hearing. He will undoubtedly carry Union county in the primary." Voters should remember that by the requirements of the rules of the State Democratic Party, there will be two ballot boxes provided in the primary election to be held on the last Tuesday in this month. One | is for the reception of the ballots for i State officers and Congressman and I the other for county candidates. Gen. Miles is having a picnic time in Poito Rico. FRSE F2SRX5S. Whether we are to Lave free ferries are not over Saluda river for the convenience of the Fork people is a question which is yet to be settled; it most assuredly should have been settled in the affirmative loDg ago. It should now be made an issue in the present campaign. It is only through constant and persistent agitation that good results are accomplished and if there is one thing above another in which the people of this county should take a great ; interest it is the establishment of : two or three free ferries on Saluda river. When the convenience to such ' a large Dumber of people is considered the cost of their erection and maintenance cuts but a small figure in the calculation. For sometime we have realized that a great injustice was beiDg done j the residents pn the north side by not providing safe and convenient means for crossing the river free of expense. In saying this we are acj tuated by no selfish motive whatever. ! No matter how desirable it is for our Fork friends to make this their market for the sale of their cotton and farm produce and the purchase of their supplies, we would hesitate to advocate free ferries were we not houestly and firmly convinced that their establishment would Dot only be a convenience to those people, but they would save them both time and money. Many are called to this place on business requiring their personal attendance and this happens many times a year and in the course of time this small outlay will amount to a considerable sum which might as well remain in me pocseis 01 the tax payers whose goods and chattels contribute largely toward the expense of building and repairing bridges for the convenience of the people of different sections of tho county. In this issue Mr. J. W. Dreher makes a proposition to biiug this question fairly before the people for settlement one way br the other; but we have to confess that bis suggestion does not entirely meet with our approval. Were it not so late iD the campaign we would amend his suggestion by proposing that each member of the County Executive Committee instruct the Chairman to pro vide a separate box for each precinct in the county in which each voter can ? ? i?ii_i. ? : i deposit ms oanot ioi or ugtuuot ncc ferries. Iu this way the sentiment of all our people can be obtained aud the person who is so fortuuate as to be elected County Supervisor need not fear to give those people what by right and justice they are entitled to have?free ferries. Mr. Willis P. Johnson, the brave engineer who was fatally injured in the recent wreck on the Atlantic Coast Lino, at Hampton s pond, near Columbia, died from his injuries in that city Monday. He could have jumped and saved his life, but he preferred to stick to his post of duty and amid the smoke of hissing steam he stood with his hand upon the throttle and received wounds which caused his death. We now get the Cjlumbia afternoon papers in the morning and the Columbia State, a morning paper, in the afternoon. What a wonderful age of progress and quick transit we live in during these expiring days of I this enlightened Nineteenth Century. About twelve hours to travel twelve j miles! Why, even the proverbial I slowness of the snail can- beat this | pace and not half try. It is a great wonder that in this day of Extraordinary hungry office seeking that some one has not ventured to tackle W. J. Talbert for Congress in his district, but then he is so popular, and has given such general satisfaction in and out of Congress that they, perhaps, see it would be a waste of time and expense. An attack was made on the American camp between Cavite and Manila on the night of July 31, by the Spaniards. The Spaniards were repulsed with a loss of 200 killed and 300 wounded. The American loss was 13 killed and 41 wounded. Prof. David B. Bu6bv, so well and favorably known to the people of Lexington county, has yielded to the earnest desires of his many friends in Saluda county, and is running for County Superintendent of Education for that county. The ''Jiua Crow" car law enacted by the last Legislature will go into effect September 1. The railroads are all preparing separate coaches | for white and colored passengers to I meet the requirements of the new I law. Hon.,B. L Ctiughman is making the race for re election to the House of Kepresentatives in Saluda, with prospects of success. Why not keep the Pbillipines aud change its Dame to Deweyland in houor of the hero of Manila? Peace negotiations are still in status quo. I 11 I M MIMBIIM III I li-TTTT?T& A w&K-'A ft#?

A woman hates to think that sh_ is growing day by day less charming and attractive and youthful to her husband's eyes than in the days of courtship. A woman may always retain her charms j and the vivacity and freshness of youth if ( she will take the proper care of her health.

It preserves in a wotnan all the charm of healthy youth. Thousands of women have testified to its marvelous merits. "Favorite Prescription " is sold by all respectable dealers in medicines. Deal only where you are honestly treated. Any store- 1 keeper who tries to give you a substitute for what you demand is not treating you honestly and you should take your trade elsewhere.

Each President of a Democratic Club must see that all Democrats entitled to vote at club precincts are enrolled on the club roll five days before the first primary election to be held August 30th, 1S98. The club roil as thus completed must be inspected and certified to by the president and secretary of each club and by one of them handed to the managers on or before the election. The presidents of the clubs at the places where county campaign meetings have been announced for will see that all the necessary arrangements are made therefor. The Executive Committee, under instructions of May convention, has adopted the following imaginary line to divide the Fork into two magisterial districts: Commencing at Counts' ferry oa Saluda river, thenc e the Lewiedale and Spring Hill road 1 T fUn roojl 10 jueonaiu once mcuv-t iuo *vuv. leading by John E. Fulmer's and P. E Eleazer's into public road leading to White Rock, thence this road to the Columbia and Newberry road, thence the Freshley old mill road by Mrs. Betsy WThites and H. J. Ful mer's on to Broad river at Fresh ley's old mill place. The voters living south and east of this line will vote for one man for Magistrate living in that territory. Those voters living north and west of this line will vote for one man for Magistrate living in their territory. The voters living on one side of the line who vote on the other side will vote for,-a man living on his (the voter's) side, and the managers will so report the votes. C. M. Efird, Chairman Lex. Co.

Free Ferry, Yes cr No. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The question of a free ferry for the benefit of the citizens liviDg on the north side of Saluda liver has been Ktt mil and nlliora fnr tllfl ag IiatVU KJ J J\JIA UUU WUV4W *v? - last year or two to put us on an equal fooliDg with those living on the south side in going to our court house on business. This on the face looks like progress and justice but, while one or especially two ferries would inconvenience a very few individuals, would they be satisfied or demand that every little ferry on the river be made free whether they lead direct to the county seat or not? The county government is a big Uhing, and now has a considerable indebtedness, as the treasurer's report shows to every one, so it stands the Board in hand to administer it as economical as possible; nevertheless justice demands that appropriations be made some times. I don't think any one even thought of seriously considering the matter until last spring after two Democratic clubs, Chinquepin and Sandy lvun, the furthest removed from the river, favored it. Now, my object iu writing is to carry out a suggestion of a member of the Board: "As the Executive Committee will not meet before the election, could not the Chairman, Mr. Eflrd, have printed: Free Ferry, at the bottom of the ticket and request every voter on south side to vote at the primary, yes or no." Then the Board will know if the people favor it. J. AV. Dreher. An Old Idea. Every day strengthens the belief of cmi nent physicians that impure blood is tbc cause of the majority of our diseases. Twenty-live years a^'o this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns'Ir<>n Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy are sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns' Iron Bitters is sol 1 by all dealers. . ? If some men felt as bad as they really are, it would be useless to call in a doctor. Barbecue.
