The Lexington Disj a^eli Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1898 JOAB EDWARDS ANSWERED. We publish in this issue the rejoinder of the Rev. Joab Edwards to our criticism of his criticism of our position on the whisky question during the late primary canvass. Our reason for publishing it a day after the feast, as it were, is twofold. The first beiDg to relieve ourselves of be ing charged with attackiDg wnat we considered an erroneous position and denying the use of our columns to those who might differ with us, and the second to defend our position and prove beyond cavil that we misrep resented no one in aDy of our utterances. The appearance of his article in ibis issue proves conclusively that we are not open to the charge stated in the first leaser, and we will now proceed to calmly discuss the second. But before doiDg so, however, we wish to state, inasmuch as the impression seems to exist in the minds of some that we are opposed to prohibition, that such was not the case. We were oDly discussing the best mean3 of controlling the sale of intoxicating liquors. Theques tion was whether the means provided by the dispensary system or those proposed by the Child's bill, which | was the only essential qhnk iu the late movement led by Mr. Featherstone, would best subserve the cause of prohibition aD(l morality. Remember this, please. In our former article we contended that the late movement did not propose to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors; that it only proposed to restrict their sale to three purposes, to wit: mechanical, scientific and medicinal, and to place their sale in x drug stores instead of the dispensaries. This in a nutshell is the Child's bill and the Child's bill was the principle and only issue of the movement led by Mr. Featherstone. In accepting the nomination at the hards of the drug 6tore faction he endorsed . that principle and confirmed that endorsement from the hustings in this State during the recent canvass; and yet Rev. Edwards would have intelligent people believe that we wrongfully placed him. Now, had the Child's bill succeded in reciving the endorsement of a majority of the people, under its operations it would have been possible for the establishment of a drug store anywhere. There is no law to prevent the opening of a drug store. The only requsite needful being a cross road, about a pound of salts, some gum camphor, a few bottles of patent medicine and a barrel of whisky, and there you have your cross road bar room drug store, and Mr. Featherstone, had he been elected Governor, would have been utterly powerless to close it up. It is idle*to say that those men who desired to sell whisky would not have __ seized this loop hole with avidity. Before the first primary we clearly stated on several occasions our reasons for suppoiting Governor Ellerbe for re-election, which is well known to our readers, and in referring to the ^? necessity for his re election we did ? ' *T K not deem it expedient to mrasu ovei old straw. His platform was bsoal and liberal, high toned and honest and we so stated as one of the reasons we supported him, aud when the Rev. Joab Edwards states otherwise he simply misrepresents a known fact. That Mr. Featherstone was supported principally by Conservatives and whisky men is clearly evidenced by the large vote he received in those places where the opposition to the Reform Movement and the die?pensary was the strongest. This fact is so patent that it speaks for itself. The Columbia Register, now editH by a Conservative, taking the same view of the result, says: "It was clear that many who voted for Mr. Feath erstone were as much opposed to prohibition as he was to the dispensary system. Numbers besides voted for Featherstone simply to beat Ellerbe. They would have voted for almost anybody else quite as willingly." This paper accounts for the defeat of Featherstone because he j * 1 4 d *xw-wl 4 V\ o f [ represeDtea out one iueu, am* hjc was, not prohibition, but the defeat of the dispensary. Saying this we do not wish to be understood as claiming that all the Conservatives, and all the whisky men, and all the Reform Prohibitionists who voted for Mr. Featkerstone did so from impure motives. There were honest voters in all three classes who honestly be lieved that actual prohibition naa oeeu promised and were thus impelled to vote for him. But in this expectation they were deceived. We have purposely passed unnoticed the personal flings of the liev. Joab Edwards, and as we are witnessing "a survival of the fitest,"' enough has been said. All the members of the American evacuation commission have ariived at Havana and went ashore. In Memoriam. At Mt. Tabor Lutheran church, Brookland, the following resolutions were adopted bj a sileDt standing vote by the Sunday school. Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom and inscrutable providence has seen fit to call from earth to heaven our dearly beloved young fiiend and co-worker, Miss Jessie May Moak, whose amiable Christian life of nine teen years of beautifnl devotion to duty will be held in fond rememberance as a noble example to us all; then fore be it Resolved, 1. mat witn ^nrisuau resignation and humble submission, we bow to the blessed will of Him uwho doeth all things well/' and who is too good and merciful to err. 2 That we earnestly pray that her faithful life and noble Christian conduct may be emulated by us who remain upon earth a little longer. 3. That we extend our sincere sympathies to the bereaved family of the departed loved one, and point them to that higher habitation of resplendent light and bliss, the home of our dear sister. ! "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." They rest. Their good influence lives on. Respectfully submitted, ! J. H. Koon, " * ? n oi i? Jiise uuna u. oueuiy, Miss May Shull, Committee. Jumping "Th8 Ditch." To the Editor of the Dispatch: Did you notice that wheD you fixed the standing of Governor Ellerbe in the second primary election you stood him on the dispensary alone, and that you stood Mr. Featherstone .on drug-store cross road-bar-rooms and blind tiger liquor. You failed in your criticisms of my protest to produce any statement from either of the above gentlemen showing that you had stood them up faiily or truthfully. You now seem to think that Mr. Featherstone stands for prohibition. Observe I only claimed in my protest that the statement in so far as it related to Mr. Featherstone and his supporters was obviously mendacious, I now insist that the same is true in so far as the statement refers to Governor Ellerbe anc! his supporters. In proof of the correctness of my protest I refer you to Governor Ellerbesrecord, where you will find that during his administration he has shown that he stands for a great deal more than the dispensary. Take his standing for executive clemency for instance. I am glad that he is a better and broader man than your statement which I protested gave him credit for being. The same is true of Mr. Featherstone. Both of these gentlemen stood for executing all the laws of the State, and when you forced them to stand upon the narrow limits of single statute you do them an injustice so flagrant that their humblest supporters have a right to protest in the strongest language. When you saw the Charleston News and Courier you jumped on the other side of "the ditch" and now exclaim that the issue "is a supreme effort to destroy the Reform Movement." This exclam ition I put as evidence that your first statement gave way with you. This" one will not survive long enough to be cf material benefit. Joab Edwards. Leesville, S C , Sept. 12th, 1898. Pleasant Dreams. It does not lie in the painter's fancy to imagine a prettier picture than that of a youn^ girl, with lips luscious with the promise of love, half parted in the smiles of happy dreamland. The mind of happy maidenhood is a clear and polished mirror, which, when the wits go wandering into the ghostland of dreams, reflects the impressions of waking hours. If those impressions are pleasant and painless and happy, she will smile in her sleep. If the impressions are those of a suffering woman, tortured with the special ailments to which the feminine organism is liable, the picture is spoiled by the lines of suffering and despondency. Maladies of this nature unfit a woman for joyous maidenhood and for capable motherhood. They incapacitate her to bear the burdens of life in any sphere of action. Household, marital and social duties alike are a burden to the woman who is constantly suffering from headaches, backaches, dragging sensations and weakening drains. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription positively, completely, unfailingly cures troubles of this nature. It imparts health, strength, vigor to the distinctly womanly organs. It fits for carefree. healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood and capable motherhood. "I have a little stepdaughter who had St. Vitus's Dance, which your medicine cured," I writes Mrs. 1. t*. Boze. ot horn, innwiriaie to.. [ Va.-"I spout about twenty dollars for doctor's bills and medicine, and it (iid not do the child one cent's worth of good. We commenced giving Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery' and used three bottles of each, which cost only six dollars. Now the child is running around every where and is just a* healthy as ever." Another War Cloud. . ?? * i i There is a small war cioua norer- ; ing over Europe, and it is probable j that the bocm of cannon may be heard there at a distant date. The ! relations between Great Britain and Russia are strained. The empire of China is the cause of the disturbance and within the next few years it will be dismembered and parceled out among the European nations. Russia and England appear to be absolutely aaoHnaBSHDnaanaHsni unable tj agr<e upon an equitable division. If this war comes it will be one of great length and of terrible consequences to Europe. All the European nations will be more or less engaged m it, and n tlie United States doesn't steer clear of possessions in the Philippines, they may get into the conflict also. Bat from i 1 the standpoint of business aloDe, the United States would be winner. We feed the world, and in a great European war the profits of the farmers would be enormous. We clothe the world with our cotton, and profits here would again be an enormous figure. Our many industries would be taxed to their uttermost to < keep pace with the demand. The United States would prefer to see universal peace, but if a European war does come, the bulk of the < money expended must necessarily find its way to this country. ?? Save Your Money.

Too much canDot be said on the importance of looking well to the clean picking, ginning and preparing of cotton for market. The better the cotton the better the price. You see then it paps to have it picked clean of trash and carefully ginned,, for herein lies much of the profit. Look well then to the picking and ginning if you would save and make every cent that properly belongs to the crop. Are You WcakT "Weakness manifests itself in the loss of ambition and aching bones.
