T!ie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th: rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher I LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. NOV? MB KB 2. 1898. THE COUNTY PAIS. Our County ITair was a success in - i? i ^00 every particular; uuv ?u;ic iu? nw so it was not what L; xinglcn ought to have done if every person had put ^ - their shoulders to tie wheel and given this enterprise a push along the road of progress. Remember that what has been accomplished by the past two fairs can be improved upon by each successive fair if our people will only do their duty. The exhibits in each of the depart ments were as full and varied as could be reasonably expected under the circumstances. Indeed most of them were ineritorious'and reflected great credit upon the county as well as the progressive ideas of the exhibitors. The horse exhibit was exceptionally fine. There are fifty-six stalls on the grounds each one of which contained an animal of fine- appearance ranging in class from the money making thoroughbred to the useful plough horse. The mule department was worthy of a close inspec onil roi-iroconlorl wllflf, Tipxinfr UUU UUU 1 *? o ton county farmers could do in improving their farm stock if they would only pay more attention to this branch of farm improvement. We hope those who saw this depait. nient will learn the lesson which the Fair Association seeks to inculcate and will hereafter pay more attention to stock raising. Mr. A. W. > * Love, Superintendent of the State Fair, was the judge of horses. The cattle department, as was also those of hogs and sheep, were not as large as they should have been. Lexington county should have had a larger exhibit in this respect. The cattle, hogs and sheep which were on exhibition were very fine and the owners of them should feelu pardon able pride in beiDg their possrssois. The field department was a true representation of the produc ts of our fields and farms. While the exhibits were not as numerous as we had hoped they would be, yet they were of such superior specimens of products that what they lacked in quantity was more thau made up in quality. The needle and fancy work depart ment was full and showed what the deft fiugers of the fair daughters of grand old Lexington can do in her domain where she is the queen of home, in providing for the comfoitof her loved ones and the adornment of her castle. The same thing can be said of the household department, which was also filled with everything that is good to eat. It can be said ?1 . ? ?> m wunout iear 01 successiai conrraaiction that the exhibits of these two departments brought out in conspicious prominence the industry and economy of Lexington's women and they were creditable alike to their domestic eharac!e: and their remarkable skill and ingenuity in constructing useful articles out of nothing. The poultry and pet stock department was magnificent and many fine birds were exhibited, which for purity of stiain and beauty of plumage could not possibly be excelled by a larger fair. It was simply a reproduction of farm life in minature. The manufacture department was very fine. It is deserving of mention , that the exhibits of the Saxe-Gotha and Lexington Manufacturing Company. These mills had on the exhi1*2? . # 1U? * ,1 1 oiiioD a run nee 01 toe goods manufactured by them. Oae of them showed the process cf cloth making from the time the cotton left the bale to the time when it was con verted into cloth of the finest quality. In closing we desire to congratulate the President, the Secretary, the Superintendent, the Building Committee, the Treasurer, the heads of the various departments, specially and the stockholders generally in the successful termination of the seoond Annual Fair. We have begun the publication of the premium list which will bo continued from week to week until completed. The Western Union Telegraph Company has won its suit agaiDst the State Railroad Commissioners. The Board reduced the rate cn e message of ten words to any poiut within the State, from 2-5 to 24 cents, thus making the company pay the 1 cent revenue on the message. The company appealed to Judge Simon ten for protection, and the Judge took j the company under the shadow of his court, and refused to allow this j cut in rate?, which, in this ca.;e, \vc think he did right. Col. Win. J. Bryan, the champion of si'.veria the last Presidential elec tion, is reported critically ill with ; typhoid fever at Savannah, Ga. His 6}iuptocis are alarming and bis friends are very anxious about bis ccnditicn. His wife has been tele- ! g?aphed ?.o jcerning bis illness and; will probably arrive at bis bedside as j soon as steam can bring ber. ' WMtwWW?!TM Ship loads of sick soldieis are ^till arriving from Porto Rico. Col. B; uce says that the South Ciroliua militia is in fine condition. Spain is tr\ing to elicit tbe sympathies of European capitalists in her behalf. Gen. Kline has received orders to move his brigade from Camp Meade to Columbia. It is rumcred that the Democratic members of the United States peace commissioners at Paris may resign The Fifth United States cavalty is ready to embark for Porto Rico from Savannah. Tbe stables of tbe IosaDe Asylum in Columbia were destroyed by fire last Wednesday morniDg, some mules and a horse were also burned. President McKinley, after visiting the Omaha Exposition and many c'ties along the route, has anived in Washington unfatigued by his long journey. Toe Columbia Lumber Mills were totally destroyed by fire last week. No insurance. It is not known whether or not the company will resume business. The political situation in North Carolina is critical. A race war is imminent and only the influence of cool heads in both parties can pre vent a bloody conflict. Report says that Secretary of War Alger has decided to recommend the enlistiDg of the Cubans and Spaniards now in Cuba in the United States army for garrison duty omy. It is possible that the United States will have to seDd the Spanish soldiers in Cuba home as Spain is bankrupted and is unable to provide transportation for them. The Spanish peace commissioners are reported to have withdrawn from the negotiations at Paris because America positively refused to assume the Cuban debt or any portion thereof. President McKinley has issued a proclamation uamiDg Thursday, No vember 24tb, as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God, in which he refers to the war and the abundant harvests. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was a caudi date for the United States Senatorship from Virginia, but the DemoJ crats have been forced to drop him oo account of his idol being the gold standard. Paris is on the verge of an out break over the Dreyfus case. The peop'e are in a high state of excite ment and the strain is hourly growing. Another revolution is forming despite the police, who have been re inforced to cope with the emergency. The Old Independence Hall in Philadelphia was rededicated on the 2Sth ult, during the peace jubilee festivities, in its original form as i was a hundred and twenty-two years ago when it was used by the govern ment. Drs. "William Weston and A E-irlr Boozer, of Columbia, have been appointed the physicians to examine the soldiers of the First South Carolina regiment before being mustered out o n of service and have entered upon the discharge of their duties. The United States peace commission at Paris has decided that its Government must retain possession cf all of the Phillipine islands and tecome responsible for that portion of the debt incurred for permanent improvements. Last week, by a fire of unknown origin, the Maiion Street Methodist church in Columbia, was destroyed, together with the Sunday school building, the parsonage, and a dwelling belonging to a Mrs. Burns, were totally destroyed. The church property was fully insured. It is no' known if there was any insurance 011 Mrs. Burns' dwelling. B ; an act of the L?gislature t' e third Friday in November of each yeir was designated to be observed by the children of the free public schools of the State as Arbor Diy, and on that day tho school officers and teachers shall conduct such ix ercises and engage in the planting of such shrubs, plauts and trees as will impress on the minds of the pupiL the proper value aud appreciation to be placed ou flowers-, ornamental shrubs aud shade trees. Superiutt-n dent of E lucat'o i Ma}field urges the teachers of the State to ob-erve this day with appropriate ceremonies this year. Swansea's Dtings.

John O.veDP, Presiding Elder of Orangeburg l)is trict, held his fourth and last (t> iart e:ly Conference of Swansea Mission with S.vausea church 011 Saturday. The reports from the four churches were quite flattering, especially so with those from the Swansea and i Cross Roads churches, both of which met their assessments and will have a surplus of fifteen and ten dollars . Tk:~ ..i j respectively. suuwiug 10 j for both as the church at Swansea j has only been built during a postiou of this and last year, costing about seven or eight hundred dollars and coiisideiable repairs- h ve bt < n made on the C oss K a Is church.

J 1 Owens is now computing his q ludrennium in this District and suitable resolutions were unanimously passed by the members of the Quarterly Conference iu appreciation of L's woik with us f jr the last fjur years. Although there is but a small baud j of Altthodi-t here they are faithful. They have now completed oue of the nicest churches iu this section and have started to punt it. They have an interesting Sunday school under the supeiintendeucy of W. H. F. Rjst: a flourishing Epwort.h League, with Mrs. Annie Fast, Mrs. Came Xunamaker and W. H. F. Rast in charge. Airs. F. AI Hodge and W. B Rist are the organisR: so you see we are not entirely behind the times. The Baptist church is also in fine condition with a large membership; a tine Sunday school in charge of A. J. Q lattltbaum, H. C. Corbitt and D. J. Knotts. They, too, contemplate painting their church soon. Airs F. B. Harman, is the organist, aDd (hey h ive tine music. Air. Editor, I hope you and your readers will pardon this little church news, but I feel it to be but a deserving notice of church woik as there is generally more notice taken of the political, social and business news in the county papers. Our little town is moving along with the usu ll j irriogs and drawbacks common to such places. We have sone quite lively times on Saturday evenings, but last Saturday was unusually quiet, for which the good people aie thaokfull. Business has been quite lively and our people are trying hard to pay up with the low price of cotton. Many of them planted lice and are reaping much better returns than from cotton. The rice mills of the Messrs. Bast Brothers are doing a lively business. They also do a nice business in geting out budding material. Mr. C. S It ?of n doing an immense lumber busiuess. The genteel J. E G.mtt is doing a lively meicautile business, and is fully up to the times, proving it by having caugur one or me urjguiebt biides in tbi3 section of the county, on Sunday of last week, in the person of Miss Louisa Martin. They make a fine appearance and start out on life's voyage under auspicious circumstances. Our congratulations go with them. Mr. P. E Hutto is abo doing a lively mercantile business and buys a lot < f cotton. Our people are becomiug more interested in growing their supplies at home. More wheat is being planted in this section than has ever been known to be planted here. It is hard for the merchants to keep a supply of seed wheat on hand. Our town has but little sickne s now. Mr. W. J. Huffman is quite sick with a throat affection, but is under the skillful treatment cf D". Lmgford. Miss Gertrude holds she reins of the school government cf our town for the present session and i? making a fine impression on the pupils and patroDS. Now and Then. October 31st, 189S. The Public schools teach al3 y most every known H - L * branch of study B - /. .. l'-c onc mo<lt important branch t? / of all. What does your son fTy \ 7 ' b(' bas an \7 'f lect like a Newton, "by i- and is mentally an I \ f \ k Admiral Criciiton, \ if he has a weak v >?V=== and puny body ^ ^ ar.d not the ref j motest idea of 1 j I how to care for ,j? | pir J_'_ boy should be ^ ~J 1 F ' taught from the J __K\ start that his J health is his most * ->v \ precious endowment. Without health, all the talent, all the genius, and all the ambition in the world are worthless. A boy should be taught that success in any walk of life, that happiness, and life itself, are dependent upon his care of his health. When a man feels that he is losing his health and vigor, when his cheeks no longer glow, his step is no longer elastic and the sparkle of health is no longer in his eyes, he should \^nrk less, rest more and resort to the right remedy to restore his bodily vigor. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical i Discovery is a natural medicine?a seientif| ic medicine. It does no violence to nature. It works with and not against nature. It promotes tlie natural processes of secretion and excretion. It imparls vitality and power to the whole system. It gives plumpness and color to the checks, sparkle to the eyes, steadiness to the nerves, strength to the muscles and the animation of health to the whole body. It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It is the great blood-maker, flesh builder and nerve-tonic and restorative. Medicine dealers sell it and have absolutely nothing else "just , as good."

Oct. 2G?2w51 la Memoriam On the fourth of October, after a brie? struggle between life and death, death was the victor and carried away his victim, little Oscar Ernest Hutto, the eldest child of Oscar Hutto. He was four years and twenty-one days old at the departure and knew bat little of earth's toils, troubles and anxieties, and carries with him to those sun bright mansions his little heart and soul uncon- j scious of having wrong or disturbed t-?Co. 1?4 1 a fAllAiva T> n f cliArf q a Li I O ill L1C 1C11U?? J^UI cuui b uo AW was the Rejourn leaves inemciies of which his little vacant chair will long remind the hearts that loved him and the eye3 that so earnestly watched j his departing spirit. The cold ground ; in New Hope's churchyard now contains all that was mortal of the little ; bjy, but the grave is not the goal of that which is higher and nobler and the eofliu cannot conline the spirit ! that Jesus claims as his own. At. j least tbe graveyard is not the lonely I deserted solitude cf our imagination,' t but those happy spirits hold sweet communion with its inmates audi then some day tbe checks that now are lift-less will radiate with t a beauty that the owner never knew i before and the tongue that is there now sileut will sing iu a melody to j astonir^h c-ven iis ownself. The innocence, even of innocent childhood wiil then be the possession of older fonn-. and what will be the beauty ajd innocence of these little people! when intensified by the halo of the resur e ;tion? The graveyard is the j 1 ice of hope and around which centres the deepest iuterest of expecla tiou. And while it is there we hear the wail of lament from the living, it is also there we will hear the exal-j tation of salvation's blessed fruition, j j It is here the sad, grief stricken man leaves his love.l ones, it is he Jf that heaven finds hers.

There is nothing sad iD death. All sadness antedates that solemu hour, and death is sad or joyous because of the life that has been left behind but whose obligations are yet to be met. Oscar Ernest Hutto made none in his short pilgrimage and entered death's portals free and unencumbered where Jesus: gives all such "little ones" a home with himself. A Friend.
