The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2C 1898. _ ; Stokss' Anti-Option Fight. The Congressman Will Push His j Bill in Congress. j Cjngressman Stokes and Mrs. Stokes returned Thursday from a visit to Glenn Springs, both feeliDg j much improved in health. The congressman has a few engagements for ; addresses to fill and then he purposes to concentrate his energies upon hi3 anti-option fight for the ap- | proachiDg session of coDgress. He ! talked quite interestingly of his measure to the Orangeburg corres- j pondent of the Columbia State and the prospects of its success. "This measure," he said, "is not proposed as a panacea or as a substitute for free silver. But its importance as a factor in bringing about better conditions is too little appreciated. All future dealings are not obnoxious. There is a legitimate future business that should not be interfered with. My measure seeks to limit future dealings to actual products and thus eliminate the speculative trading in wind cotton. Ia order to appreciate the ii jurious effects of speculative dealings in futures it must be understood that the sellers of futures must make money by a decline of price. The seller of real cotton makes money by an advance in price. Their interests are diametrically opposed. The buyer of cotton for manufacture I usually inaugurates his buying oper- I - I - I -11- J Tu. i auons dy large gemug oruers. xue tffect of large selling orders for future delivery is to depress tbe price of futures. This enables tbe manufacturer to make a profit on bis future transaction and then buy his real cotton at the decline. If a Manchester mill waots 100,000 bales of cotton to spait it would probably cable an order to New York, but not to buy 100,000 bales. Tbe order would probably be to sell large ; fa ure contracts for the account of tbe mill. The price of futures being forced down bv the large sales, the mill would then buy back its own future contracts at a profit. So ft>r no one but tbe speculators are huit or helped. But the price of real j cotton has declined with even pace ! and the mill buys its real cotton at the decline. Thus the foreign man* ufacturer uses the machinery of our cotton exchanges to the detriment of our cotton growers.1' "Are you opposed to the exchang< V "No. - There is a legitimate field for them, too. I cordially approve and second all the editor of The State so well said on this subject a J.cvv uajo agv-' n ucu auiuvyauu^ c* v/w ton exchange for Columbia. But legislation is needed to prevent the prostitution of such organizations to gambling purposes." "Do you think such legislation can be made (fftclivt?" "Undoubtedly. The Louisiana lottery was driven out by legislation j and its pernicious influence upon the J people scarcely surpassed that of the j cotton exchange. The State has j several times given strong support | to this fight and I trust it will con | tinue to lend a hand.

Furthermore, it is asserted that an ex eessive use of salt seriously overtaxes the kidneys to remove it, and that many cases of derangement and dis eases are due to this excessive use.

Tribute cf Esspect. Mrs E. A. Dickert passed from this world of diversified changes into another and blessed land of rest on August 24, 1898; and whereas, God in His all wise providence has seen lit to remove from among us our faithful sister, be it resolved: 1. That we, the members of the Ladies' Aid Society of Mt. HermoD church, bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all thiDgs well. 2. That in the death of our sister, our society has lost a most zealous, devoted, untiring member, one who was always ready and willing to perform all the duties required of her and one who ftlt the greatest interest in the work of our society. 3. That we extend our deepest sympathy to the bereft husband, and praj tnat ijroa s ncnesi Diessing may rest upoD him. i. That a copy of this memorial be given the husband, a copy sent to The Lutheran Visitor and the Lex iDgtan Dispatch for publication and the same be transcribed in our record-book. Mrs. M. E.

The Spanish peace commissioners, actiog under instructions from the government at Madrid, are trying to make the Uaited States assume the Cuban debt, but Uncle Sam is not willing to do so. The grand jury of Richland county has returned true bills against several men who are charged with violating the dispensary law. Let the petit jury now do its full duty without fear, favor or pre judice. The dispensary board of control has adopted a resolution appointing a special committee to report on a new scale of figures so that towns and counties can get a larger proportion of profits. Tl e board thinks this can be done and leave a good showing for the State. As evidence of how varied vegetation may be made here, the fact is mentioned that in the yard of Mrs. J. H. Eirle, on Academy street, baDaDa plants are now growing with several buDches of well matured and completely ripe bananas. The fruit though not large, has a delicious flavor and so far as taste is concerned, these Greenville grown bananas are the equal of those of any other climate. This is said to be the first instance of baDanas maturing and ripening in this country. The fact that the fruit matured this year is probably due entirely to the lateness of the season. Oh, the Pain of Rheumatism! Rheumatism often causes the most intense suffering. Many have for years vainly sought relief from this disabling disease, and are to-day worse off than ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and Swift's Specific is the only cure, because it is the only remedy which can reach such deep-seated diseases. A few years ago I was taken with inflammatory Rheumatism, which became so intense that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried A, several prominent physicians and took their treat inert faithfully, but was unable to get the slightEr~~ est relief. In fact, my con.

Letters From I)un?as Fila, Who Was th? Arm&nd IMiyrI of the IMay. A Parisiau review has a very curious articlo upou the story of the "Dame aux Camelias," that poor Marie Duplessis who died so sadly after a life which certainly was not exemplary, but which romance and the stage have made famous. The author of the article, M. Georges Soreau, publishes letters by the younger Dumas, which leave no doubt that he introduces himself in the character of Armand Duval, the principal character in the piece in which Marie Duplessis is immortalized unaer the name of Marguerite Gautier. The story was whispered about for a long time among theatrical people, but hero are some authentic documents with which M. Soreau reveals tho facts. Dumas fils not only knew Marie Duplessis, but was in love with her. He simply describes him>elf in the character of Armand Duval. In presenting the piece to tho public Dumas wrote: "Marie Duplessis did not have all the pathetic adventures which I give to Marguerite Gautier, but sho was perfectly willing to have them. If sho sacrificed nothing to Armand, it was because the latter did not wish any sacrifices. To her great regret sho played only tho first and second acts in the piece." In a letter addressed to Sarah Bernhardt the celebrated playwright and novelist said: My Deaii Sa?ah?Permit mo to pive you a copy of an edition of the "Dame anx Camelias," which is now very jure. What makes this volume unique of its kind is the autograph letter which you will find on page >12 and which is pretty nearly the same as the letter i printed on that page. This letter was written by tho genuine Armand Duval about 10 years , ago. He was then the same age as your son. The letter is the only palpable thing that re mains of the story. It seems to me that it belongs to you of right, since yoa have just brought the dead man back to youth and life. Keep it, at all events, as a souvenir of the pleasant evening of Saturday last and as a fee j bio testimonial of my great admiration and i profound gratitude. A. Dlmas Fils. 28 January, 1S84. Tiie iouowing is uumas' auiograpn letter to Marie Duplessis: My Dear Maiue?I am not rich enough to love you the way I would wish nor poor enough to he loved after your fashion. Let us forget, therefore, on your part a name which must be somewhat indifferent to you and on my part a happiness which becomes impossible. It is useless to tell you how sad I feel, since you know already how much I love you. Farewell. You have too big a heart not to understand the significance of this letter and too much intelligence not to pardon me for it. A thousand remembrances. Alexandre Dumas. In 1896, during the time when the Renaissance presented the piece with the costumes of 1830, Mine. Sarah Bernhardt often told her friends the following little anecdote: "At Marly, about 1884,1 asked Alexandre Dunnts to give me a personal description cf Armand Duval. " 'That will not be difficult,' said he, smiling. 'I have only to send you my portrait when I was 20 years old.' "? j Paris Cor. Courier des Etats Uuis. j j A Wet Country. The railroad which with its branches connects Colombo, the capital of Ceylon, with the interior of the island, is remarkable for the engineering skill shown in its construction and for its * prosperity. It makes an ascent of 3,500 : feet by a succession of loops and curves, , with here and there a tuunel. The chief J difficulty in running the railroad is duo to the way in which the rain comes down. A recent book of travel, "A Run | Round the Empire," describes what the J rain did to a train crawling up the ( mountain side. On Dec. 27, 189G, 1inches of rain ! fell in 24 hours. The engineer of a train saw that beyond a certain tunnel the line was washed away. He stopped . the train, and the passengers got out. One of them, seeing stones rolling down | tbo mountainside above them, advised ( the engineer to push for the tunnel. ( Just as the train entered the tunnel 1 down came a huge mass of rock, which J carried away the embankment as well 1 as the last car of tho train?a goods van fortunately. Close behind the tunnel thp nf tbo r:ii! worn hitnninp frr>e ' over a precipice, and a similar condition i existed not far ahead. I A messenger came down from a planter's bungalow above tiie tunnel to say ' that water was accumulating in the cutting in front, and that if it broke through the debris which served as a < dam it would wash the train out of the tunnel. The passengers hasteued to leave the cars, and in walking through : the water in the cutting found it up to i their breasts. Edible Birds* Ne9ts. The birds build 111 great numbers on the precipices and in the caverns of the steep islands of the limestone series 1 which form one of the characteristics of the gulf, and fragments of which oc- , j cur at Mergui, on the west coast, in the I Malay archipelago and in Touquin. | Each of the islands under Praya Chai| ya has a guard of men upon it, living ju muaii conages Jugn op 111 .some uook of the limestone rock, like a Norwegian : hut, or down on the spotless sand of the single little cove, beneath a palm or two. The collecting of the nests is effected by these men three times in the i year?in the hot season and at the beginning and end ot the rains. Great ' care has to be exercised that the nests I should be taken at the moment when the birds have just finished building and before any eggs are laid, for if this has happened the birds are said not to build again. The collection of the nests is risky, owing to their inaccessibility, but it is profitable, owing to the high prices they fetch (about 50s. a pound for white and 25s. t > y<Js. for the inferior or red colnvnn n/wftM <nul not ? littlo 10 ?wnt uv'i ?? mm- 10 ; i indulged iu by the crews of boats navigating the gulf.

A consis eutiv cor.s- rvative p< l ey has always characterized the editorial conduct ot this j ?nrnal. And we think this h id no s t all share in wiuniuc our place in the public confidence. For it is universally recognized that we only express a decided opinion after mature r< tl *clion and exhastive, impartial ex i-iiiuatio'i ot every sub ject we discuss. Whenever a remedy or a novel method lor the treatment of disease appears the American Journal of Health, conscious of the duty it owes its readers, first investigates and then sneaks. We take nothing lor (. ranted neitmr the advertismerits of the remedy itsell or the printed testimonials as to the cures it has eft" c.ed n thienees our judgment O.ily ^lu-u we have convinced ourselves by actual demonstration of the truth do we undertake t> publish our \i ws. 'I hen our views are positive, because they are based on knowledge, and they either praise or blame the particular remedy strictly according to its merits. An instance where wj can bestow our praise occurs in the case of ' Dr. Thaohi r's Worm fyrup," clfred by tleThach rM-dicine Company, ol Cu t ar.ooga Ttnn We have verified the record of ibis leim-dy as an infallible sp<cific for worms We sutitfied our.-elves of the genuineness of this specific; we intrusted the matter 1 o a medical man of long and varied experience, and Icr many years connected v ith this journal iD an editorial capacity. His report s conclusive proof that lu re we have a remedy which is not a palliative simply, hut a cure. In saying this we are aware mat we assert a great dtal, but we are also confi leht that we are not asserting too much. The truih is that in many instances the so called cures afford only temporary relief; frequency they do not even accomp'ish that result. Bit in ' Dr. Tbacher's Worm Syrup" sr.fUr<rs have found, and we are satisfied will find, that permanent benefit wbicb it is fhe prime purpose of medical kH 1 to bestow. Every circumstance connected with the sulject of our inquiry was inv stigated byes No pains were spared to render the inquiry luil and complete. We can, therefore, address oar readers in positive language regarding ihis remedy. What tne sufferers from this disease hopefully seeks is something that will cure. There are innumerable rt medies which will undoubtedly mitigate suffering - there ae few, in dted, which cure. And a vast d.ffer :ince exists between the two terms-one means a t<mporary relief, the other compute en aucipation from the bonds of disase. Scieuce is progressive and constar, tly endeavoring loaccomplishnew thiDg.s. The old methods must yield when they are out classed by lrtsb diecoveties. Aud medical science especially, while conservative, is not so to a degree which prohibits its recognition ol the demonstrated worth ot a successlul advance upon the older methods. "Dr Thatcher's Worm Syrup" really represents an advance in the inedicd treatment of disease and consequently deserves cur endorsement. Anything which mitigates suffering is gladly welcomed as a hles-sing; the remedy which can cure is h -iled as a divine dispensation. While recommending lo our readers, iu the most ui <j lalified errns, the indisputable merits, ot "Dr fhacher's Worm Syrup," we would also iddress ourselves to the pharmacist, because it is desirable that he should know exactly what he can guarantee to the public a* a cure with the certainty that his clients will have no cause to accuse him of his misrepresentatiou.
