The Lexington Dispatchj Burned Anril 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HARMAN, Eciiicr &Ld Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1898. Sill Arp's Letter* 7 " * * r Arp Tells of the Disappointment 01 a Veteran. Atlanta Constitution. A Veteran called to see me yesterday. He was not so very old, bat was gray and bent and tired. He had been to the great reunion and was on his way back to Mississippi. "I stopped over a day to see you," he said, '*and to revisit the place where I was born, but I couldn't find it and am very tired, for I have been tramping over the hills and valleys above here nearly all day." The old man fanned himself with his hat and looked sad and disappointed. I learned from him that he was born somewhere between here and old Cassville and his mother boarded some of the hands who were at work building the State railroad and there was a spring not far from their humble home. "I thought," said he, "that I could find the spring and the branch and the walnut tree and blackberry patch, but I walked and walked and nothing looked natural. Seemed to me that everything has changed and shrunk up. The hills s have washed down and the branches nearly dried up and nobody could tell me anything. You see, we left here away back in the forties, when I was a lad, and there is a new set of people, but I thought I would find somebody or something that I remembered." The old man looked a wit j uu tuiu sigucu. v/i wuioc were sorry for him, and tried to cheer him up. I asked him about Hoopers and Tripps and Akin and Underwood and Latimers and Arthur I Haire, but he dident remember them. He was a poor boy and mixed with poor boys and they had grown up and gone west, too. How the old people do yearn for the friends 8nd the scenes of their youth! After fifty years' absence from his native State, Judge Warner, our honored Chief Justice, had this yearning to come over him and he, too, revisited his boyhood's home in Massachusetts. He went with fond expectation and came back sad and disappointed. "My relatives were all dead or gone away," he said. "I found but one man who remembered me, and he was blind and in the poor house. The hills where I used to pick blue berries had been cleared and were not so large or so high. The little branches where I fished foi minnows had all been ditched and were bridged where they crossed the highways. Everything was strange and I took no comfort' and have come back to good old Georgia, my adopted mother, and here I will stay until I die and I wish to be buried in her friendly bosom." Life seems to be but a circle, and we would all go back to the starting point if we could. The startled hare when pursued by the hounds speeds straight forward for a time, but after a mile or two begins to bend its course, and keeps on curving until it comes panting on the home stretch to its familiar nestling place. And MnnAMvo 4-qII no wVipn n tuo pi^UCCl O bvii wg ? ? hunter gets lost in the forest on a cloudy day and tries to make a bee line for home, he makes a curve unconsciously and gets back to his starting point. Shakespeare says that old age is but second childhood, and so the older we grow the more affection we have for children and their innocent sports and pleasures. How fondly our minds and memories live over again the little plays of blind man's buff, mily bright, hide and seek, trimble-toe, club-list, hide the switch, craney crow and many others. How we admire their happylaughs and growing faces as we draw near to them now. No wonder that George Francis Train in his gloomy moods wandered to the park and drew as maDy children to him as he could and played with them on the lawn. But time shrinks more than nature. The world is not so big nor the trees so high as when we were children, but a year is not half so long?not a tenth part so long?as it used to be. The days were never too loDg then, for they were happ}: but it seemed like a lifetime from Christmas to Christmas. Children are the sweetest part of this great big world. Not long ago a cyDical friend who has none said they were an expensive luxury: so they are?expensive not only in money and labor aud toil, but : they repay it in love a thousand fold, j They are the life and comfort of every good family. "What would the world be without them? Suppose they were all grown up and there were no more to come?no day ! schools nor Suuday schools?no playhouses or toys or pictures books?no bibies learning to talk and say mam- j ma or grandpa?no little chaps to follow you about and love you, and, the saddest of all, no more mothers J Ill 1111 ii vwm"-Wi?gcr-gi to fondle and caress and bug them to their bosoms. "What a cold and di&mal world this would be?no mothers, no fathers, no grandmas, no nothing but grown-up people who never played horse or sang a lullaby i song. | My cynical friend says that children I make no return except in filial duty and no recompense but affection, j Well, that is enough. Parents do j not ask any more. The love and obedience of a good child is beyond price. The disobedience and ingratiof a bad one is the most intense of all miseries. There is net a greater contrast upon earth than in the joy or the sorrow that children bring to parents. From the time of old Eli until now this contrast has been going on. That poor old man had the curse of God upon him because his children were vile and he re strained them not. I tell you, young friends, who have mated and married and are rearing children, you had better read and ponder the story of old Eli. The first commandment says T will visit the sins of the fathers upon the children,'' but in this story the Lord visited the sins w "" of the children upon the parent. The olu man was cursed and the priesthood taken from his house forever. What if all the preachers who have bid children were deposed in these dajt? How many churches would be closed against the married clergj? Wouldn't the young theologians be in demand and have a monopoly of the business until they, too, got married and raised bad children? There has been much said and more written about how to raise children; but the old landmaiks are the best. They must be restrained aud, if example and commands will not do it, then the rod must help. Line upon line, precept upon precept?here a little and there a little, which I suppose means whip a little on tbis side and then a little on the other side. I heard a sensible and fond mother say yesterday: "I spanked Mary Lou twice within a few minutes, and it didn't do her a bit of good. Then ; I spanked her a third time and she has been the best little child in the world ever since." But every parent knows as much about this as I do, and so I will refrain from further advice. Every mother knows how to raise other t people's children, and I know of no one who says she is tempted to move away to get her children away from the bad influence of her neighbors' children. The neighbors smile at this, for they know that she has the worst in town and they are willing for her to go. Even my wife used to think teat the school teacher ought to whip every boy but hers. It is a touching and beautiful fact that however bad a boy may be and however abused and condemned by the community and the laws of the land, if he has a mother he has a friend. Bill Arp. How to Look Good, Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a ! , healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look; if your stomach is disordered, you have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are affected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you will surely have good looks, "Electric Bitters" is a good Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotches and boils, and gives a geod complexion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at J. E Kaufmann's Drug Store. 50 cents per bottle. Items from Reader's Store.

Of course I --J -l-MJ 1 A me women ana cnnuren are uere ytt. The health of the community is good at this time. The corn crop was injured by the drought up to July, then a little too much rain in some places, but I believe we will make an average crop of corn yet. Cotton is looking well but is shedding considerable. The wheat crop was good. Mr. Wilson, the civil engineer for the city of Columbia, was in this section recently contracting for all of the Congaree creek swamp land from old Piatt Springs up to Feeder's Store, for the purpose of conveying the water to Columbia. He says it is the purest and clearest he can find in reach of the city. On last Sunday, while returning from church, Miss Emma Shealy was thrown from the buggy and slightly injured. The mule ran away and the buggy was considerably smashed. Mr. M. Curtis Ilallman, of Fredo ma, is te&cmng a large singing class at Bethany church and is giving satisfaction to the class and is also improving the church music. Mr. Hallinan also gives instrumental music lessons at private residences. "With best wishes for the Dispatch, I close. R. August 9, 1898. i KVjk'mMiK.tlU'j 'IK I ?

One Minute Cough Cure surprises people by its quick cures and children may take it in large quantities without the least danger: It has I won for itself the best reputation of any preparation used to day for colds, croup, tickling in the throat or obstinate coughs. J. E Ivaufmann. A lamp lighted too soon burns out | when it is needed. More troops left San Francisco i Sunday for Manila. A man's wisdom is his best friend, I folly his worst enemy. I When you call for DeWitt's Witch j Hazel Sulve, the great pile cure, i j don't accept anything else. Don't be talked into accepting a substi- I fcute, for piles, for sores, for burns. I J. E. Ivaufmann. The Spanish civil government at I Santiago is at an end. Don't worry because you have nothing to worry about. There is no sure foundation for the ladder of selfish ambition. A stubborn cough or tickling in the throat yields to One Minute Cough Cure. Harmless in effect, touches the right spot, reliable ard just what is wanted, it acis at once. J E. Kauftnann.

Ninety-six cars, in sections passed through Columbia Fiiday, with troops from the Florida camps bound for Long Island.

Private McCollough of the Edisto Rifles, undertook to take charge of Camp Lee in Columbia, and now he will be court martialed. A physician should have a cheerful countenance.

Instructions That Show the Armistice Comes Soon. ^p -cinl to The Hi raid. Washington, Aug. 11 ?The secretary of war this morning cabled iustructioDS to Miles, Shatter aud Merrit to make do further movement against the enemy. Miles was instructed to inform the Spanish com mander at Porto Pico of these orders. This move is considered significant. It is understood that the adminisi ation has recehe"! informal notic of Spain's acceptance of the protocol. The orders are virtually the first step of an armistice. The latter will probably be declared today when the formal reply of Spain is received. The instructions sent the commanders to make no futher movement against the enemy were preparatory instructions of a probable armistice not final or definite instructions. Hong Kong. Aug. 11.?The Spanish consul has chartered a steamer to carry the peace news in order to save Manila from bombardment, which is so imminent. G.braltar, Aug. 11?The British Mediterranean fleet is ordered to remain here. The reason i3 unknown. This is regarded in Madrid as a strange proceeding. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve ha9 the largest sale of any Salve in the world. This fact and its merit ba3 led dishonest people to attempt to counteifeit it. Look out for the man who attempts t j deceive you when you call for De Witt's Witch Hazel, the great pile cure. J. E Kaufmann.
