The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25tb; rebuilt July 19. 1891. G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 14. 1898 Dr. Stokes Returns Thanks.^ To the Editor of the Dispatch: Permit me space for a brief acknowledgment to the people of the District in general, and of Lexington n'MVnfc in r??rtif?nlar. for the hand I-VMUWJ pome endorsement given ine in the recent primary. As a mark of continued and enlarged confidence, it carries an added responsibility that I shall strive to meet and to discharge. v I will be pardoned, I trust, for feeling an honest pride in the fact 'that every county in the District gave me a generous majority. In Lexington the endorsement was magnificent ? approaching four to one. In the whole District there was an average majority of 2| to 1. Here is the vote by counties as it appeared in the News and Courier of this date: Stokes. Brantley. Orangeburg.... 2,106 882 Dorchester 700 395 Berkeley 781 236 Colleton 977 720 Lexington 3,805 526 I Lee 1 787 518 Sumter ,... 992 533 Richland 107 - 78 Camp Lee S9 31 Totals 8,404 3,922 It is scarcely necessay to say that I particularly value the endorsement given me by old OraDgeburg county, where I was born and reared. A comparison of the recent vote with that of two years ago shows that the opposition to me when centered upon a man from my own county cast but about 300 votes more in the county than were cast two years ago when my opponent was from Sumter county. In the whole county my majority was 2b to 1; ill my own club it was nearly 3 to 1; while the. city of OraDgeburg gave me nearly 2 to 1. For the first time since I have been before the people both the clubs at the Court House gave me a majority. All these things, I repeat, but add to my sense of responsibility. They will stimulate me to greater activity in the future. Toward those who opposed me honorably I entertain no animosity. Tney exercised their inalienable light. I shall endeavor to represent them impartially and worthily. With ill-will toward none and charity toward all. "Very truly, J. Wm. Stokes. Millions Given Away. I It is certainly gratifying to the public to kDow of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million tiiil bottles of this great medicine: and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all disease of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on J. E Kaufmann Druggist, and get a trial bottle free. Regular size 50c. and ?1. Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. Why We Should Educate. e<: ... To the Editor of the Dispatch: We should educate our children because it is our duty to do so. The Holy scriptures say, iktrain up a child in the way he should go and when he gets old he will not depart from it." We are thus admonished to encourage and urge the child to prepare himself for the responsibilities of life. To let him alone as he naturally is an open and flagrant violation of the divine command. In Proverbs we are taught to get wis dom; to get understanding; to get knowledge. Lets heed this imperative call to duty. Second. We should educate our children because the welfare of the State demands it. A free an impar * i. A. L > i i rial goverameDr, to oe lssuug ?uu enduring as time, must have an enlightened people for its pillars forest upon. No country can rise higher than the lest of its subjects. The harsh, cruel savage recoguized the fact that he must perpetuate the nobility of his tribe by teaching his son the sayings, customs, and laws of his people. It is principle laid deep down in the human constitution that some one must lead; some one must lule. Soon the good and urtinng rulers of the present, will lay the armor aside. Then when the State begins to cast about for a new | Shield Bearer, if it should fall on your sod. have him prepared, trained and equipped to do the offices of the J State wisely, faithfully and heroically, j Some one's son must fill tl e ;e hou- j ABiiJtiBOBseHaeeaflHnmeesMaassaeEnaeBgmiea orable places of public trust. Whose shall it b<? Again: The church needs both an educated laity and ministry. Enlightenment is the great bulwark cf the church. Every year hundreds of young men go out from the colleges and seminaries to work in the vineyard of the Lord. Yet tho church is still in need of more trained ycung men and women who will teach in I the Sunday school, who will be active officers in the church, and who will be energetic, zealous living examples of Chii t. Ministers teach your people that their boys and git Is must be schooled to meet the great responsibilities of the church if it is to sustain in the future, the great, the good and noble influence it has exerted in the past. And again: We should educate the child because it can be done so cheap. I think, it can be said truthfully that an education is in the reach of every one. All over this land is established common schools, in every village are high schools, in the cities are college?, bringing education in the reach of all. Ten years ago it cost a boy three hundred dollars to go to college; now he can go for less than half that amount. A boy can now attend our high schools for less than sixty dollars a year. Parents, if you wish to give your child anything give it to him in edu cation. It is the safest investment you can make. It will draw the largest interest. "A wioe son maketh ifglad father." A Plea for Education. Batcsburg Items. August 30,1898. To the Editor of the Dispatch: It was formerly dry weather that formed the opening sentence of every article, but conditions, like men, . change, and now it is rain, raiD, almost without ceasing. Considerable fodder has been damaged and stoim cotton will add to the unsatisfactory state of the market for the great staple. Misfortunes never come singly and the question is how many more evils can our people stand? The outlook is gloomy, still we trust there may be good things in store for the future. The health of our section is fairly good and business is much better than one would suppose it possible to be. We regret very much to lose the ? T n tv. a j t_ ., presence 01 o. ^. ron ami iamny i from, our community. They have recently moved to his turpentine farm ou Cedar creek. A protracted meeting is now in progress at the Baptist church here. The preaching is by Rev. Mr. Derieaux of Spartanburg. We hope much good will result from the services. The school will open next week. The teachers have all been selected and are highly recommended. Prof. Humbeit of Laurens, is principle; Prof. Edwards of Darlington, fiist assistant; Miss Robbie Wakefield of Anderson, second assistant; Miss Kate Gainey of Sherwood, N. C, music. Everything points to a large attendance and we venture the prediction that Batesburg Institute will be (qual to any in the State. An excursion to Charleston on the Dew road was very pleasant and largely patronized by our people. Quite a number of our people are visitiDg and receiving friends, among those now here may be mentioned, Miss Clara Harrigal, and her friend, Miss Murphy. The Misses Milhouse, also others whose names don't occur to rue at this writing. Miss Kate Haltiwangcr has re turned from a trip north od the F. C & P. Mrs. J. B.

SICS OB "WELL, A BUSH I NIGHT AND DAY. The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba were all Heroes. nPL.:? Tr rff Alien- xieiun; ajuoiis m vjiclixu^ Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. Batter, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23k, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or les3 violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of insh and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical lime this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way get- ' ting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our packtrain before we left Tampa and I know iu four cases it absolutely saved life." The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, Cnamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, Iowa. For sale by J. E. Kauftnani). Buded to Bl:om. Tenderest sympathy suggests a word,? Fondest affections impels us? write a line,? Sad as separations may be, biting as bereavements always are, none to me can so bitter be, as that of taking the "Babe." Such a scene was the writers, when on Saturday Dignt, August 20, 1893, at 10 o'clock, God in His wisdom, took occasion to transplant from earth to glory, the soul of little Homer, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Dr. E. J. Etheredge. Homer, scarcely a year old, lacking yet one week, was the joy of a father's heart, the treasure of a mother's bosom, the idol of a household, inspiring father to nobler ambition, pointing mother to higher asperatious, enlivening gloomy quietude into cheery happiness. Little Homer, though so young, had won a place in every one's heart, entwining around himself the admiratiou and esteem of an entire village town, for he was fat and cheery, and always laughingly sweet. In mind's imaginative eye, I see him as I write, dabbling in a basin of water, laughing, prattling "The fairest of ten thousand, and altogether lovely." Homer was a healthy child, weighing when only five mouths old, twenty five pounds, never a day of real sickness until those which terminated in death. Teething the cause, a complication the result. Every sacrifice of a devoted father; every attentiveness of a loving mother; every ingenuity of competent physicians: every assistance of warm friends; all were made, given, tried and rendered. Humanity's expeiiences exhausted for relief, faithful nursing by trusty friends. Indeed all, everything to human kuown was done, but alas, to no avail. Seemingly life ingered. Heaven even vascilating btfore plucking Homer, so dear to us, OA AnrAi 4- 4 A C^-r\r\ oft r o ' o\j o ? cc b iu caitu) v>? uu ocaj oj a. vi v* such is the kingdom of HeaveD,'' plucks the bud, transplants the flower?takes Homer. Suuday afternoon wc laid at rest all that was mortal of William Homer Etheredge, in the Lutheran cemetery, amid sobs of grief stiicken parents and attended by a concourse of sympathising Mends. Touching indeed to see bending over the casket aged grandma, leaning on grey haired grandpa, each tenderly caressing, faintly whispering, bye-bye, Homer, gone, my boy, but not. forgotten. TheD, oh! the anguish of bitter bereavement, as mamma and papa, for the last look, fondest hope of life's happiness crushed, sobbingly for the last look on earth, pressed their lips to his, whom in life none we:e half so sweet, in death none half so dear. Such occasions impress us, that man is spared of no paiu. Sleep, peacefully rest, s.veet little Homer. Angels will guard thee ever.

Aguinaldo the insurgent chief, has appealed to his followers to rally to his support. An Awful Pnnistoent Of all tlie horrors that have shocked mankind throughout all history, one of the most terrible was the punishment meted out by the British government in 1S57 to tlie leaders of the famous Sepoy Mutiny. They were tied to the mouths of loaded cannon and blown in mutilated fragments into eternity, while a thrill of horror went through the civilized world. Mistakes and broken laws involve an awful penalty, and the most vindictive men are not more cruel than Nature herself can be when her laws are violated. Everyday we see men aud women suffering almost the torments of the condemned as a penalty for breaking Nature's simplest laws. Mistakes and carelessness count as crimes before Nature's stern tribunal. Nature never forgives a mistake. Irregular habits, wrong food, over-work, worry, late hours, lack of proper exercise, neglect of little precautions, are punished by the pangs of dyspepsia, shattered nerves and a wrecked and wasted constitution. But this misery and hopelessness are not forever fastened 011 those who are willing tr? enrne hnclr and nhi'V the laws which Nature has laid down. Pier penalties are severe and inevitable, but lier rewards are generous. She seldom pronounces a death sentence.- -Thousands of broken down men and women, who could not find either encouragement or cure in the medicaments of ordinary doctors have obtained a perfect restoration to health and strength by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, simply because it put their entire physical being into perfect accord with Nature's law an brought them her rewards. This cxtrac.'dinary "Discovery" begins its restorative and building up process in the human system at the same point that Nature begins her own work, that is. with the digestive and blood-making organs. It gives the entire nutritive organism power to appropriate the essential life-creating elements of the food that is eaten, and convert them into healthy nutriment, firm muscular flesh and active vital force. Many little warnings are usually given by Nature long before her most terrible punishments are visited upon those who disregard her regulations. When a man feels that something in his way of living has put him '"out of sorts." even though not seriously ;11, he must know that he is to some extent a trespasser. If he has headaches or bilious turns and periods When he doesn't feel like lifting a hand or a foot about his business, something is certainly wrong. It ought to. and can be set right immediately by the "Golden Medical Discovery's" wonderful tonic and alterative properties. It clarifies and enriches the blood, arouses the lethargic liver to rid the circulation of excessive bile ; purges the system of the scrofulous and muddy impurities which render the slciti unwholesome and unsightly ; makes every nerve and muscle tingle with vivacity and life. The permanent strength - making qualities of the "Golden Medical Discovery" are vastly superior to the temporary stimulus of malt extracts. It is far preferable to nauseous emulsions. It does not aid the accretion of flabby fat; but eliminates inert useless tissue from the system, making the flesh firm and wholesome, and bringing the weight to the normal standard j of perfect health. Mrs. John Crozier. Box 52. Morristown, Belmont Co., Ohio, writes: "Sty face was a solid mass of pimples or red spots and very sore. I commeticed using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery at>out the 3d of April; I also used his I 'Pellets.' I was just nearly crazy when I I wrote to you.
