; The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. H A KM AN, Editor aDd Publisher LEXINGTON. S. l\, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 21, 1898. Friday will be State campaign day for tbis county. The meeting will be held in the beautiful and shady grove in rear of the court house. Ample arrangements have been made for the accommodation of the people and we trust that all our people will turn out to welcome the weary campaigners who have made the tour of the State, many of whom just for the fun of appearing before the dear people aDd actiDg their part in the hunt for votes. We want every voter, as well as every woman and child in the "county, to come to Lexington on next Fiiday and hear what the candidates have to say for themselves. These men appear on that occasion askiDg . the suffrage of a sovereign people to elevate them to high and exhalted ? - * 11 positions. Por ttns purpose mey have gone to much expense and a great deal of discomfort and inconvenience to do so?for instance there is the non conquerable and irrepressible G. Walt Whitman who has mads the tour of the State on his wheel?and now it is our duty as a thinking and intelligent people to come out and listen attentively to what they have to say. We owe this much to ourselves otherwise we will be open to the charge of being bias or the far more graver and degrading one of being whipped into line by the crack of the partizan lash. Let us all turn out on that day, behave ourselves and make the speakers do the same; listen quietly and as the candidates impress you so vote. An unofficial report says that there are nineteen deserters from the First South Carolina regiment now m camp at Panama Park, Fla. We opine that when the Dativity of these deserters are analyzed it will prob ably be found that they are not Dative South Carolinians, but a parcel of adventurers who enlisted,not for the honor and glory of the State, but for the pickings that they could find True South Carolinians never deseit. They are Dot built that way. For the honor and glory of the grand old Palmetto State, whose glorious banner was the first to proudly kiss the sunny breezes and triumphantly wave over the conquered City of Mexico, the Second regi ment should be composed wholly of nUive South Carolinians, or adopted sons whose love and patriotism will make the honor of the State safe in their keeping, then will the integrity of our State be pre* e ved and the dark stain of desertion from duty in the hour of danger will be washed from her name, and the seemingly tarnish on her fair eschutcheou will be obliterated by the devotion to duty aDd the brilliant deeds of brav ery, courage and endurance oi her noble sons. We cannot afford to trust her fair name in the keeping of irresponsible tramp3 and hobos. There is too much at stake for us to do so. The State needs the services of her young sons. The maintenance of her honor needs their protection and support. Will future historians write upon the pages of the history of the State, that the unsullied glory of the bnilliant past has been dimmed by the recreancy and neglect of (he pres ent generation of men. By the hallowed memories of a glorious past and the bright hopes of a still more glorious future we hope that it can | never be truthfully said of South Carolinians that they failed in the peiformance of their public duty. From what we gathered on our rounds with the campaigners, we feel assured that Dr. Stokes, while holding his own, has made other votes in this county. Many DeoDle recard his retirement at this juncture of his ; career as a public calamity by greatly retarding, if not effectually killing, the important matters of legislation which he has undertaken aud sue ceeding in pushing far toward success and which are fraught with so many promises of relief to suffering and oppressed agriculture and the laboring class. The} believe that his "unfinished business" in Congress demands bis immediate personal at- i tention and guidance, and hence calls for his return. They have no personal objection to Mr. Brantley but think the time is not yet quite at hand when "Young America" should ; be put forward to supplant a man who has been tried in the crucible of test and found not wanting. I Richardson, the man who is run- j niDg for congress in Alabama against : Gen- Wheeler, has withdrawn from j the race. Sensible man. The people I seem to be returning nearly all the i old Congressman, which is a safe i thing to do when the Congressman have been true to their trust. Although the law does not go into j effect until September 1, several rail- j roads are operating the Jim Ciow j cars. r " "" Sampson, the naval American Captain, acting Rear Admiral, who was ten or twelve miles away when Ce vera made his desperate dash from Santiago haibor, has been promoted over Schley, the Commodore, who on the post cf duty trailed the enemy into Santiago harbor and sent the now historic message to his government, "I have got him and he'll bever get home," and nobly redeemed his message by destroying the entire Spanish fleet. Sampson has been advanced eight numbers and ranking next to Rear Admiral WatscD, and poor Schley, the naval hero of Santiago, the man who de* % ' ? *- . t U!.. stroyed Itie fleet 01 me enemy vi ws j country and the vessel, which is bis flgship, was in the thickest of the fight and received forty some odd of the enemy's shot to prove that her face was turn to the enemy, is advanced only six numbers and is made Rear Admiral with rank next to Captain Sumpson, the man who showed his heels to the enemy. Such is the reward of a "grateful" government. But the people will pluck th6 laurel leaves and weave them into a wreath of undimmed glory aud honor and place it where it rightfully belongs?on the brow of Schley. Politicians may do a great wrong to a noble, bravo and vigilant officer, but the people will right that wrong as sure as "truth crushed to the earth shall rise again." The United States is in possession of Manila, the bay and the harbor anil PrpmM?nt MrKinlev has in structed Gen. Merritt to preserve peace at all bazzards, and that protection to persons and property within the territory occupied by our military and naval forces must positively be maintained at any sacrifice and at any cost. These orders are imperative aDd must be obeyed. The insurgents, as well as others, must be compelled to recognize the authority of the United States and its military occupation of Manila and that there is a cessation of hostilities pending peace negotiations. Gen. Merritt has been given full authority to use whatever means Lis judgment may .suggest or the exergencies of the situation may demand to carry out ' his instructions. It is now clear that the policy of this government is to have nothing to do with the insurgents and while assuring to them civil, political and religious freedom, their interference with the government of the islands will not be tolerated in the least. It is possible that the Uuit-ed States will maintain a protectorate government over the island of Cuba for a year or so. It will be a crime aaainst humanity: a crime -D V ' against civilization, and a crime against progress for the United States ever to turn that islaud over to a people whose past history and future aspirations proves them to be unworthy of confidence and totally incompetent to be trusted in the government of the island. For the sake of every consideration let the United States assume and retain entire control of the island and save the fair island from the mismanagement and misrule of a set of semi barbarian savages. Clemson College authorities have reported four fertilizer companies as selling goods below the standard. Two are Richmond companies, one Wilmington and one Charleston. The President has instructed Gen. Merritt, the Military Governor of the Philippines, that under no circumstances must there be a joint occupation of Manila with the insurgents.
