The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894 b. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisbe ~ lexingtonT s. c.7 WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1898. CAPITAL AND LaBOB. It may not be inopportune just at thia lime when labor troubles are rife to review, as briefly as we can the relations which exists, or, at least should exist, between capital and labor. There are at present environments surrounding these two forces in our economic relations that have a -tendency to breed contempt and suspicion on the part of the one and envy and suspicion on the part of the other. These two forces whose interests are so nicely blended that one cannot be disturbed without the other feeling the e?fects of that disturbance to a greater or less degree, should certainly work in unison together. The very existence of each demands that {hey should pull harmoniously together and that no friction should be allowed to wear away the thread of mutual benefit and cause a gap to be opened between them and rend them asunder. The art of money making and moDey saving, which is nothing more or less than capital, is just as much a gift of nature as is the art of labor, no-matter in what sphere it may be developed and expended. The laws of both nature and business require ' that there shall be both employer and employee; all cannot be hewers of wood and drawers of water, neither can all be Jacobs, or Vauder bilts or Cramps. Hence, the rela tions between capital and labor, shcold be marked by the utmost consideration for the necessities and requirements of each. ' Confidence i 1 each other should be the motive power whieh impels capital to noia a helping band to labor, and labor to work in the interest of capital that the best results may be attained. It is to the interest of capital to ele vate labor, not to degrade it. The higher the standard of labor i3 raised the more reliable it becomes and the more, remunerative it becomes to capital. Labor, like capital, should under no circumstance be oppressed Every reasonable demand should be met in a spirit of friendliness and given due and respectful consideration, and as far as the circumstances will permit, acceded to. On the other hand, labor should be reason able; it should treat capital as an all* tnd not as an enemy which is always on the alert to take uDdue advantage ~i 1J 1 Ui 11, it SUUUIU pCHUIUJ 1LS uuwc? cheerfuly, faithfully and carefully, remembering always that from the very nature of things capital must always'coutrollator, for the very mo ment that labor becomes indepen dent of capital, that moment it becomee unreliable and worthless. Strikes are never beneficial to either party. They entail heavy loss on one and to the other they briDg suffering, want and misery. Its progress is marked by ruin and etaivatioD and idle industries and loafing hands. To avoid strikes and restore confidence concessions must be made and labor and capital must meet on half way ground and amicably adjust their differences. "^-?Rev. S. M. Smith, D. D, recently /I #^11 /I #> i n 4 V% b1 ucuvuicu a ocxixiuxi 1U xxxc jl ixol aicobyterian church of Columbia, on the Great Problem of the races in which he took the position that "we theD that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak," or in other words, that the Arglo Saxon race being the strongest, in civilization, in intelligence, in culture and in wealth, should be more tolerant in our dealings with the African race, which is the weaker one and is defi cient in all the characteristics which has for centuries marked the progress of the stronger. The negro, iu his ignorance, is an imitative beiDg: he can be easily led, and that if the moralists and Christian leaders did not lead them into paths of morality and virtue tbey would be led by bad and designing men, who design to use him for their own aggrandizement and the advancement of their own preferment, into riot, rapiue, murder and arson. That instead of cultiva ting bis nobler traits of character which are now partially in a dorment state, those bad white men will appeal to his baser and more ignoble passions and thereby cause a never ending friction between the races. The sermon contains much food for thought, and although we believe that the able divine is in error in many of his essential principles, it is worthy of a careful perusal. Spain has accepted the ?20,000,000 indemnitv, and now the Philippines is a part and parcel of Uncle Sam's domains. In accepting the indem iiity she says that she is unable to renew the war and is compelled to I yiel i to the demands of her ccn- ! querer, no matter bow unreasonable and oppressive those demands may be. The Clemson College Foot Ball Team has won the State Championship and now ranks as one of the finest in the South. We are glad to observe tbat the only two efforts made in this State fco operate cotton mills w ith negro libor have both been disastrous, but merited failures. The experiment | to supplant white with negro laboi in our cotton factories were atke dis creditable to the State and th< white men w ho undertook theexperi ment ana they ended in one mill failing befoie it was put in operatior and the other has been put i 1 the hands of a receiver by Judge Simocton. We trust for the fair name of our State, if for no other considers tion, that the effort will never agaiD be repeated. A Georgia white woman, after rot bing her husband, eloped vi.h a negro. A posse immediately started on the trail of the run a way couple, i and they were caught about 10 miles from the starting point and brought back and safely lodged in j iil. Then was some talk of lynching the cou pie, but no open demonstrations wen made. J. W. Powell, who shot and killed C. M Sloan, about a year and a half ago and sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary, has been pardoned by Governor Ellerbe, to take effrc' !

As one of the results of the Spanish-American war it is probable that Congress at its next session will in crease the standing army of the United States from 25,000 to 100,000 men.

Without ^5^- it the most brilliant / man will be a failure, Jjjk' and the most robust man will rapidly become a physical wreck. The man who neglects the little headaches, the loss of appetite and sleep, nervousness, hot flushings, cold chills, heavy head, lax muscles, and the multitude of bad feelings that are the heralds of approaching sickness and disease, must pay a tremendous penalty. For men who suffer in this way there is no medicine equal to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It sharpens the appetite, corrects all disorders of the digestion, invigorates the liver, makes the assimilation of the food perfect, purifies the blood and enriches it with the life-giving elements that build new, healthy flesh. It is the great blood-maker apd flesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption and is the best of all known remedies for nervous troubles. Thousands have told, over their own signatures, the stories of the wonders it has performed. Honest dealers will not urge a substitute for the sake of a little extra profit. Thomas Fletcher, of Clifton Station, Fairfax Co., Va.. writes: "I suffered terrible tortures for ten years with 'gastralgia' (pain in the stomach). I then took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which completely cured rae." When the bowels are regular the body will feel good and the mind will be active. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One little "Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. They never gripe. All good dealers sell them and have nothing else "just as good."

The Sdu la Valley Riilroad from Brookland via Lexington, Pricev^lle aod Delmar to Saluda C. H , is still alive in the hearts and minds of the citizeas of Brookland. This road is an absolute necessity for the citizens reading on both sides of Saluda river from Brookland to Saluda C. H ; and the stockholders of this road would hold one of the best railroad corporations in the State. The Saluda valley on both sides of the river, is densely populated, the soil productive and the citizens generally, are well to do Public meetings by the citizens along this line should be held as well as at Siluda, Delmar, LexingtoD, Priceville and Brookland, and a chatter secured at the next meeting of the Legislature. This road can be quickly and cheaply built by stock secured along the line and at other places. This line of road would about equally divide the -vide territory between the Dutch Fork and Southern railroads. The burning of two of Columbias plaining mills has given an empetus to the plaining mill business in Brookland and Shuler & Hagood's mills are running every day and part of the night, turning out nicely dressed lumber, doors, sasb, and all kinds of turned and bracket work. The building boom in Brookland and daily accessions to her population continue to flow and her proportions are growing beautifully 1 trge. Maj. Koou has returned from an extended travel over Eastern North Caiolina. He reports this section of N. C., in a prosperous condition; is delighted with the kindness and | hospitality of its citizens, says the people look hearty and strong, and are g(t)3 looking, the ladies in particular. The Major is a very clever and 'fficient Magistrate, and the citizens of Brookland and many of the business men of Columbia feel that his official presence is a. necessity, and are much gratified that he has returned; and judging from his improved look, North Carolina must be a fine place in which to live. The Brookland Academy under the efficient supervision of Prof. W. D. Dent is prosperous ana growing in public favur. About eighty five scholars are in attendance with the prospect of one hundred or more. Prof. Dent is an educated Christian gentleman, knows how to run a school, and good work is being done which like "bread cast upon the waters, will be gathered up many Jays hence.v What has become of the Electric Railway from Lexington to Brookland and Columbia? Hope the projectors are not dead. This road with an iron free bridge should at once be built. Tardiness in the promotion of a public enterprise so much needed is inexcusable when millions of capital is lying idle awaiting utilization. These are public necessi ie. and will amply repay inv istors. A very large bundle of your Dispatch is quickly distributed at this (ffice among your many friends here.

The above is the title of a superbly illustrated, lichly bound volume issued by The Weruer Company, Akron, Ohio. It is the oLly authentic history of the Spanish American War that has so far come to our notice. All the others have, in the maiD, been merely re-vamped histories of the Cuban War, with some illustrations and a few chapters about the Spanish-American War. Of course, anything written by Henry Watterson would be readable. He, above all other men iu America, is fitted by training and experience to write a history of this war, which has brought world-wide renown and glory to our arms. Every line of the book breathe * an enthusiastic spirit of patriotism that i? exhilarating and ! inspiring. The work contains over GoO pages, a large number of full-page halftones, together with many rich j | double-page illustrations in ten J eders. It is sold by tubscription, j and will undoubtedly prove a money- j maker to every intelligent salesman, j - Fwjet mountain butter, cabbage, potatoes, onions, chestnuts, at the j Bazaar.
