The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 189-4. G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2fi. 1898. France and England ni8v become involved in a war. Teddy Roosevelt is hustling for ^ 1 * -f >T X" 1. tse u-jvernorsmp 01 x^kw xom. Columbia is full of candidates for magisterial honors of that city. The commanders cf all the warships (f the British North Atlantic sjuadron have received orders to mobolize at Halifax. Mr. G?orge Huggins, of Columbia, lately Treasurer of the State Fair society, has accepted an important position under Collector Webster. The millionaires of New York have run their hands into their pockets to elect Teddy Roosevelt Governor and have anted up with money without end. The Confederate Veterans of this S:ate urges Col. Floyd, recently nominated Adjutant and Inspector General, to appoint Captain Wadlaw his assistant. No information has reached tie State or navy departments regarding the alleged encounter between the ships of Dewey andthose of the Filipicos. Uucle Sam sa)s that Spain must positively evacuate the entire bland of Cuba by the 1st of Jaouary or tie Spanish soldiers there will be made to leave at the point of the bayonet. ? The Kennedy tract of land, just outside of the northern subuibs of Columbia, has beeD selected by the United States inspecting officers as a site for the camp for the soldiers. Spartanburg has an afternoon paper. It is known as the Evening Star, and Col. Larry Gantt, of the Piedmont Headlight, is its editor and publisher. May the Star always shine brighter and brighter. George W. Yandeibilt has taken legal steps to eject squatters from that portion of his Biltmore property near Asheville, N. C, reseived for a hunting preserve. The squatters will fight him in the courts on ihe ground that they have had quiet and undisturbed possession of the property for seven years. Strenuous efforts are now being made to get President M? Kinley to revoke his order mustering out the regiment. All the commissioned oflk-ers of the regiment went to Trenton yesterday to invoke the in fluence of Senator Tillman to have the regiment retained id the services of Uncle Sam. The political situation in North Carolina is critical. The whites are determined to ttirow on me yoae oT negro dominition and the negroes are as equally determined to keep the yoke on white men's necks and it is momentarily, expected that a conflict between the races will begin which will not end until many lives are lost. The result of such a conflict is not hard to foresee. The reception of Senator Tillman at Richmond, by the Virginia Democrats was in the nature of huge ovation and his speech at the Academy of Music made ''hot times in that town that night." The Senator is doing effective work in North Carolina for the cause of Democracy and white supremacy. Lieutenant Col. Tillman, has been promoted to the Colonelcy of the First S. C. regiment to succeed Col honors, Company G, of his regiment, actiDg as the guard of honor. Judge Mclver has n fused to vacate the injunction in the Berkeley county SneriffJitv contest. It will be remembered that there was a contest as to who was nominated for Sheriff of that county in the last primary election anu the State Democratic Executive Committee ordered another election to decide who was the nominee. One of the candidates went before Chief Justice Mclver i ?i i i i?^TT-rr ' - ??? aod obtained a writ of injunction res'raining the County Executive Com mittee from holdiDg the election and made the answer to the writ returnable after the general election. The effect of this order is that there will be a sciub race for Sheriff of Beikeley county in the general election. ? > Think of liv, ? 2 ~ - inrr a venr or two after one H / ^ is dead; dead If ik vS^' t0 a"* Practical inifl tents and purposes.? ifoA / dead, with the autoIBaSi' \AlV|lfraph of death inIm BB I scribed on brow and i /y/ cheek and lip. B+BT x *""/ l" Thousands of X^r--\ women live for she is practically dead. The young woman to whom the future is a dreary waste, the young wife who is a helpless, nervous invalid, the mother whose babes are a burden instead of a blessing,?all these, unless they take the right measures to recover their health, are better dead than living. In the majority of cases these ghosts of women owe their condition to weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. Frequently they haye been deceived by the incorrect diagnosis of some obscure physician and do not understand the true nature of their trouble. It only costs a two-cent postage stamp for a woman to write and describe her condition to nr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skilful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y. He will answer letters from ailing women without charge. He is the discoverer of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the greatest of all known medicines for women. It acts directly on the delicate organs concerned in maternity and makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It banishes the indispositions of the anxious period and makes baby's coming easy and almost painless. It cures all disorders and displacements and checks exhausting drains. " Previous to motherhood my wife was very sick." writes Dennis H. Connelly, Ksq.. of Clear Water. Wright Co.. Minn. "Two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription made her well and strong," Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure biliousness and, constipation. One a dose. Thev never gripe. A Sad Event. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The death angel rapped at the door of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott McCartha, on Saturday night, October 15, about ten o'clock, and took back home with bim their little darling, Cbicola Gertrude, age 5 years and onel Joseph K. AlstoD, receutlj deceased, and Msj. Fuller has been pro moted to Lieutenant Colonel of the sauie regiment. The other promotions have not been aunounced as yet. The Columbia State says: "It will do Chairman Tolbert and the colored Republicans generally a great deal of good to read the reports from Virden, III. With State troops under orders of a Republican governor keeping Southern negroes out of Illinois mines at the point of the bayonet, hope of interference by Northern Republicans with the present political status in South Carolina must be regarded as very misty. Colonel Joseph K. Alston, of the First regiment, died at the home of his wife in Yorkville last week. He was suffering from an attack of jaundice, but the cause of his death was due to heart disease. His un timely death is deeply deplored by all people of the State, and a life having the elements of promisiug great ness has ended. He was buried at Yorkville with Masonic aDd military 16 days. She ha3 been lingering most of the summer, but was suddenly taken worse Saturday after noon and passed away very calmly in a few hours. The funeral services were held at Salem church by Rev. J. D. Kinard Sunday afternoon, after which her remains were interred in the church graveyard. While our deepest sympathy goes out to the family, we beg them to remember that their loss is her "eternal gain." D E. Free Pills. Send your addresses to H. E. Bucklen & Co., Chicago, and get a free sample box of Dr. King's New Life Pills. A trial will convince ycu of their merits. These pills are easy in action and are particularly effective in the cure of Constipation acd Sick Headache. For Malaria and Liver troubles they have been prov< d invaluable. They are guaranteed to be perfectly free from every deleterious substance and to be purely vegetable. They do not weaken by their action, but by? giviDg tone to the stomach and bowels greatly invigor ate the system. Regular size 25c. per box. Sold by J. E. Kaufmann, Druggist. OBITUARY. Chicola Gertrude, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. B. McCartha, died at L<?esvill<\ S C., October 15, 1898, at the age of 5 years and 1C days. Her death was sudden aDd unexpected, yet peaceful and calm She was a veiv bright little girl, rapidly showing the Christian piiuciples she had been taught. Her parents dedicated her to the Lord in Holy Baptism in infancy and with untiring zeal placed around her spiiitual nourishment. She often made remarks about thoughts she got from the sermous of the pastor, showing her attention. She greeted father when he came home at night with a song and duiing the day cheered mother with sweet innocent remarks and was the soul of life and j iy to brothers and sister whom she loved so much to be with. But she is no more, God took her. How they will miss her. Beautiful flower of the household transplanted in the happy home, only to sing around the throne of God in heaven and be a strong tie to the parents, brothers and sister. May Gad comfort the sorrowing ones and give them grace to say "The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. 0". Austin, at Salem church in presence of a large congregation, and the body laid to rest till the resurrection morn. Jas. D Kinard. Leesville, S. C, Oct. 17,1898. "Many have said their children would have died of croup, if Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Lad not beeu given, write Kellain k Ourren, druggists. Seaview, Ya. ''People come from far and near to get it and speak of it in the highest terms." This is equally true of this remedy in every community where it is known. I>u} a bottle at J.
