i ii gtoii Dispatch" Burned April 25tb; rebuilt July 19.1894. ^ It. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisbe LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 23. 1898. The State Fair. Notwithstanding the untiling tfforts made to make the State Fair of 1S9S, surpass in both exhibits and attendance that of 1887, there was a failure in both, we are sorry to say. This failure cannot consistently * * # . i /\* . r oe laid at the door 01 tee omcers 01 the Association, for they did everything in their power to make it \ otherwise. The failure to come up to the fair of 1887, in exhibits can be accounted for on no other grounds than careless, and almo&t criminal, indifference on the part of the people which is too often seen, not only in reference to the State Fair, but in many other praiseworthy enterprises and institutions having for their ob ject the upbuilding of the industrial interests and the advancement of the material progress of our State. The people seemed to have left this potent factor in bring ing prominently before the eye and thus claim the attention of those who are seeking friutfui fields for the investment of brawn, brains and capital, triplets which go hand in hand, to languish and die unaided and unassisted. The State Fair is not only intended to be what many claim for it?a place of assemblage where friend can meet friend annually and recite the little nothings which have happened to each, during the time since last they met. It has higher aims, nobler purposes and more important functions. It aims to be the means of stimulating a generous rivalry among the agricultural, the mechanical and the industrial life of the State by providing a means were the products of the several departments can be advantageously exhibited and from this exhibition the successes of the one can be imitated and the failures of the other avoided: its purposes are to inculcate a spirit of progress and enterprise into every department of business activity and knit capital and labor into stronger and firmer bonds of brotherhood in the great battle of human existence and human prosperity, and its functions are to develop the vast and devtrsified resources which nature has bestowed with an unstinted hand upon our State by drawing to the attention of those seeking homes or those seeking investments to the inviting prospects which our State offers. Were it only an occasion for the exchanging of greetings, as nleasant, and eninvahle as the feature r ?ij ? of the fair is, we say that if this were all, then it deserves to perish and die. But as we have said before this is not all and its other more important missions appeals stroDgly to State pride and State patriotism for all classes and condition of citizens to put forth every effort to make the next State Fair, one that will be an honor to the State and a true reflex of our every day life. What the exhibits lacked in quan- j tity they more than made up in quality and some of which were really meritorious. The attendance was large, but of course, not as large as it was last year. The falling off in numbers can be accounted for from the fact that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the three best days of the fair, were very disagreeable. It rained all three of those days and on the last named, it not only rained but it poured in incessant torrents, which kept many from going to Columbia who would have otherwise done so. It took stout hearts to wade through the mud and slush and brave the inclement weather to visit the fair grounds and it is surprising that as many were on the grounds as did go. As usual Lexington was well rep- j resented both in exhibits and attend- ! ance, and as usual carried cff many premiums. We give below a list of some of the exhibitors from this county who received premium*, as far as we have been able to learn up j to the hour of going to press There are others who received premiums but we have been unable to learn their names. If those receiving premiums will send a list to this office of the articles and the class cf premiums, we will cheerfully publish it. The list we have is as followe: D. F. Etird, 2 year old colt, 2d.

NOT LEAD. Somehow cr other the leaders of the Xatioftal Republican party have got it into their heads that the result J ro^cmt. plpntinns was a death I U1 _ I blow to the free coinage of silver delusion, as they are pleased to teim it. They say that it will cut no figure in the next general election, and that it is buried beyond the hope of resurrection. In this respect, we take it, that the wish is father of the thought and that it is their hope that it might be so. They were never more mistaken iu their lives, according to our way of thinking. The silver question is a real live issue and is destined to yet play an tmportant part in shaping the destiny of this nation. During the last I ProairtpntiRl election we were told that the gold, or siDgle standard, was the great panecea that would cure all our financial ills; that by its adoption the business of the country would flourish as the green bay tree; that it was the one thing needful to restore confidence and start in motion the idle factory wheels and start the hum of machinery that was then still and silent as the cold damp grav*; that thousands of idle aitisans, whose family were crying for bread and whose little ones had not enough clothing to protect their shivering bodies from the cold of a rigorous winter, would be given employment and everything would go on as merrily as marriage bells. They have h .d the single standard, but the bright promises of the dawn of the millennium of good times has thus far signally failed to materialize, but in its stead times have become harder, prices lower; work scarcei; money dearer; labor strikes oftener; ruin and starvation stares our farm ing interests squarely in the face. It nri/1 f V-? o tror L1U3 U1 UUgUl nai) auu buo ?iu& revenue stamp, which is a tax upon nearly ever}thing a poor man uses; it has brought interest bearing gold bonds to enrich the coffers of the wealthy, while the poor man is almost tempted to do what Job's wife advised him to do, "Curse God and die;" it has brought 4i cents cotton and a long string of attending evils too numerous to mention. These are some of the thiDgs that the gold standard has brought upon a long suffering and sorely afflicted people and they tell us that the silver question will not be an important issue in the next Presidential election, simply because McKinley's ! brilliant management of the Spanish American war gave the Republican party a new lease of life. The silver question will never die until it is given a fair trial and its unworthiness proven by actual experience, which will never be, as it is a known fact that during the days of the double standard, times were easier, business prospered and agriculture flourished. ^ -jr Moralist? may prate, and doc Jil tors prose, and science shout j?\ 1 t / from the housefrA\\ .'/$ \ top; but j"st ;y. \ so long: as the t b^rdsfjinff alld maiden's lips ^ fHS?

It is only when illhealth has blasted the sweet cleanliness of youth that death lurks upon its lips. The deadly germs of dread consumption are as harmless as June-time butterflies to the young man or woman who is thoroughly clean, sweet and healthy in every fiber and tissue. The germs of disease only attack that which is already partly decayed. There is a great medicine that is a sure and certain protection against all germs and a speedy cure for all germ diseases. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It gives youthful zest to the appetite. It corrects all faults of the digestion. It aids assimilation. It fills the blood with the vital, life-giving elements of the food. It builds sweet, clean, healthy tissues in every part of the bodv. It drives out all disease germs. It cures 9S per cent, of all cases of bronchial, throat and lung affections if taken in time. All good medicine dealers sell it, and have nothing "just as good." Mr. Jos. Henderson Dirblun. of 544 Josephine Street, New Orleans, La., writes: " I was ailing for some two years, suffering from dyspepsia, a | tired feeling, and loss of energy and appetite. I tried one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and found great relief. I took two piore bottles, three in all, and one or two vials of the ' Pellets.' when I was in good health again. I recommend I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to do all that it is claimed to do." rA man or woman who neglects constipation suffers from slow poisoning Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One little "Pellet" is a gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic . All medicine dealers sell them.' No other pills are "just as good." The operatives in the mills :li Augusta have declined to accept the cut in wages proposed by the mill men and over three thousand have ' gone out on a strike. The proposed | cut was from 8 to 13 per cent, and , when the new scale was posted it ! was found that the cut staited in j some instance below the section i hands and none above and the oper L b ^ o nd monv I UL(JIS> UtUiiUJC Uisoauoutu uuu luuuj walked out of the mills. Efforts i have been made to adjust the differences, but without avail. ? Ex Queen Liliuokalam of Hawaii, I has arrived at San Francisco.

This seems to be a very wi. e step and in accoid<nce with ycur advice some few weeks back. We are pained to note that Mr. Lemuel Hall, one of our brightest and most promising young men, is confined to his bed with that dreaded disease, typhoid fever. Mrs. L. A.

Minis, who left our quiet little town some time back to eDgage in the mercantile business in Greenwood, has returned home for a few weeks recreation and pleasure. We welcome you, Joe, and hope that you may return unto your business pursuits greatly benefited by your visit. Rev J. X. Wright is holding a series of meeting at the Methodist church, at this place, assisted by the Rev. W. M. Hardin, from Lexington. We hear it whisperedfrom an unquestionable source that our friend* Dr. C. Jr., who has visited us lately, is seriously contemplating a suit on life's sea with one of the fairest maids iu the Rocky Well section. We congratulate you Doctor, if this be true, and would be pleased to give you a professional reception into our communit}*. Messrs Hall Bros., roller raiH- is still kept busy giinding what the old darkies call "Heaven dust." This is certainly a great benefit to our community as it enables the farmers to get a higher grade fleur and a better turnout than the burr mills can possibly give. You have only to visit them in their woik to see that it would truly be hard to find genius and energy so perfectly blended as it is with these young men. A. Twenty Years Proof.

One of the effects of the recent elections, says Bradstreet, is a number of material advances in the price of commodities. One of the Tolbert'sha3 announced that he will hereafter affiliate with the white man's paity. This is a wise conclusion. Postmaster Ensor has succeeded in having a 6ub post office established in Columbia. It will be located near the Union Depot shed Hero Victor Biue was in Colum bia last week and received an ovation. He talked interestingly of his experiences while making his way to Garcia's camp in the province of Santiago De Cuba. Sergeant Rivers of Walterboro, this Statp, a member of Ray's regi ment, died at Santiago of yellow fever, on October 2nd. The news of his death was received by his parents and friends on November 115. The race trouble is still in progress at Pana, 111, and there have been a great deal of fighting between the whites and blacks and much blood has been shed. The end of the trouble is not yet in sight. The Sixth Virginia regiment, which is a negro one and has given much trouble to the army officials in the past by the unruly conduct of its members, is again in trouble and the entire regiment has been put under arrest and disarmed. The cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa of Cervera's late fleet, which weDt ashore on Cat island while being towed to this country, has been abandoned and she is going to pieces rapidly. In the Uuited States court the case of the Lake City lynchers, who are charged with killing postmaster Baker, at Lake City and burning the post office, has been continued.
