LEXINGTON, S. C.,
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1898.
A proposition is beiDg seriously
agitated, and the more it is discussed
* i*'i 1
tbe more wide spreaa n r>ecomutyoj&.- i
ing to the disbandment of the colored j
volunteer troops in the United States
army. This movement is beiDg led
by conservative men who are moved so
to do irrespective of party affiliation
and are such a class a3 to command
the respect and attention of the Ad ministration.
The^onduct of these
troops, especially in the South, has
been anything else but^nducive to
the peace and morals of the communities
where they are located. They
are a source of constant friction both
in the field and in the camp and
they have proven themselves totally
unworthy to defend the honor and
integrity of the country. Their benavior
has been a reproach to the
intelligent members of their race,
and the good and respectable ele?nonf
r?f fhoir *v-?!r?r is made to feel
the shame and disgrace of the rerephensible
condoct of their representatives
in the army. These remarks,
of course, are applicable odIv to the
rowdies who have shown themselves
incapable of controlling their passions
and caDnot be taught discipline.
An exchange says that the anDual
report of Secretary Gage was sent to
the Speaker of the House yesterday.
The receipts for the fiscal year are
four hundred and ninety-four millinns.
three hundred and ninety three
thousand dollars. The expenditures
exceed this by thirty-eight miliioD,
which include the military establishment.
The expenses of the war
were ninety-two millions, of which
fifty-nine millions were for the n^vy.
The receipts compared with previous
years are sixty-four millions. The
increase in expenses for the military
> was forty-three millions and for the
navy twenty-four millions.
The message of President McKinley
to Congress is an able paper and
deals with the incidents of the Spanish-American
war in a statesman
like manner. As it is an important
and interesting paper we will probably
give the substance of it next
week.
Housekeepers will rejoice to learn
that Arbunble Brothers, have reduced
the price of refined sugars and
that the other refiners will follow
suit and go them one better. When
trusts fall out and fight each other
the public generally is benefitted.
The State Legislature will meet in
Columbia on the second Tuesday in
January, which is the 10th day of
the month.
The last session of the fifty -fifth
Congress assembled at Washington
last Monday. Nearly all the Congressmen
were in their seats.
OBITUARY.
It seems but yesterday that the
gentle mother of a lovely family?
TT>-i1 T? n 1 ^ir^^A ,-T,
X>eiuaiiy jjuu&ki vauguujnu, 91 uuu in
the pride and beauty of her womanhood.
Though in her 88th year, her
vitality was reluctant to diminish
sustained by a vigorous constitution,
a tireless activity and a wonderful
love that kept her fresh and youthful.
"Whoever loves is in no condition
old."
Vividly thrilling was the last act
of her life, as she bent down and
tenderly placed the sleeping little
great grand child in its cradle for its
Dight's repose. Just as she laid
down the dear little one to rest and
to awake again to the joys and sorrows
of this earthly lift; so was she
a few hours later to be laid down
by her heavenly father on the soft
and loving breast of Jesus to sleep
from which none ever wake to weep,
but to rejoice amid the pleasures and
triumphs of the heavenly life. As
the sad message of her departure
from the shores of tim9 reached her
children and grandchildren they
hastened to her bed side where with
tortured brows, tear-stained eyes and
hearts of anguish they clasped her
hands, aDd pressed her lips with the
^ last kisses of fond affection and long
farewell. Though voiceless, her eyes
met them with that quick, swift,
earnest look and joyous recognition
which ever comes to the pure and
good in their passing hour. "While
the bereaved ones were loath to resigD
a joy that bad so radiantly
illuminated their existence, their
Christian faith sustains, sooths and
upholds them in their sore affliction,
knowing that the living and dead are i
not lost to each other.
This elect lady, whom we all j
revere and love so much, was born j
near Lexington, S. C, May lGtb, j

She was united in marriage tcSam'l.
P. CaugbmaD, on April oih, 1832,
whom she survived by a number of
years. Ia the sacredness of motherhood,
she was blessed with nine
children, ten grandchildren and six
great grandchildren. Five children
and four grandchildren have pre

ceded her and ere this have gree ted
her in that beautiful summer land of
immortality and blis3. A cbiid
piously inclined, she was confirmed
early in life in St. Stephen's Evangelical
Lutheran church: from which
she was afterwards transferred to
Providence Ev. Lutheran church,
where her funeral services were held.
The sermon was preached by her
pastor, Rev. J. G. Graichen, in the
presence of a large aDd sorrowful
congrfgation of friends and relatives.
Her remains were interred in the j
cemetery adjoining the church, where
she rests with her loved cues.
"Thy day has come, not gour;
Thy sun has liseD, not s^t;
Thy life is now beyond

Not ended?but begun.

Swansea's Doings.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The rise in cotton has brightened
gome faces but to many the tidiDgs
comes too late.
The people of Swansea had the
pleasure last week of a visit from
Capt. HeDry Counts of It mo. The
Captain is a representative citizen
and an ornament to the agricultural
profession and we gladly extended
him a welcome.
Frederick BackmaD, a worthy
youDg farmer of our section, has gone
in company with physician Dr. J. L.
Johnson to Columbia to have a surgical
operation performed on his
case because of an enlargment on
his left jaw. His friends are anxious
for hi9 condition.
The farmers are still putting in
small grain aDd the attention paid
this crop and area given it this year
jpas never been equalled before. It
seems like "the before war times:''
Mrs. Lila Weathersbee and Mrs.
S. B. Sawyer of Norway, Orangeburg
county, are visiting relatives in and
around Swansea.
It is said W. H. F. Hist grew
eleven inches in ten hours and
greatly added to his capacity in
pounds also after the appearance last
week of another little boarder whose
name "they say" shall not be John
but William Jennings Bryan Bast.
D. J. Knotts has purchased of J.
H. Counts of Irmo, a fine specimen
of an English Berkshire pig.
As I was passing a stranger yesterday
on the Orangeburg road the
thought crossed my mind, well surely
you are the ugliest white man I ever
saw, but accompanying was the conviction
that such an honest, sincere
face 1 seldom see. Just as he passed
he commenced singing in a real sweet,
.melodious tone, "We shall be like
Jesus there and his beauties we &ball
. share, in that home of many mansions
bright and fair." Then I thought,
has that poor man the power of mind
reading and did he sing: for his own
Dr. Rice, of the Columbia Female
College, lectured here on Friday
night, in the academy, on education.
The lecture was given in the interest
of education and was an able effort
and well worthy of the illustrious
teacher and educator. This scholar
has given his life and energies to
this absorbing question.
Rev. McFarlane has gone to Rock
Hill to see his sick daughter, at
school there aDd will remain over j
and go to the Methodist Annual Cjn- j
ference at Greenwood next week.

It to consumption and allied
Ji diseases.
i There is an almost certain
rrf-^ cure and a positive preventrtf
ive for this fatal disease if
4 taker, in ti?nc. The story of
what it will do is told in the
-^following letter:
"About two and a half years
ago. when I was at Flat Lick.
K\\." writes J. \V. Jordan. Esq..
of Corhin. Whitley Co.. Kv? "1 was taken with
severe pains in the chest, alter which I begun to
spit up blood and was also troubled with nightsweats.
I was so short winded that I could
hardly walk half a mile at once, and if I got the
least bit wearied. I would have an attack of
phthisic (asthma) and almost die for about two
or three days. I concluded to try Br. R. V.
Picrcc. and T related tnv case to him. He wrote
me that I should take his ' Golden Medical Discovery."
I began using it and used about six
bottles. I began to see" that it was helping me.
so concluded to continue its use. 1 did so and
have improved both in strength and In weight.
I have not had the phthisic, uor spit up any
blood since last spring."
This great remedy?Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery?cures qS per cent, of
all laryngial. bronchial, throat and kindred
affections which, if neglected lead up to
consumption. It strengthens the stomach
and makes the appetite keen and hearty.
It invigorates the liver and aids the natural
processes of secretion and excretion. It
makes the assimilation of the food perfect.
It is the great blood - maker and fleshbuilder.
Honest dealers will not urge you to
take a substitute said to be "just as good."

consolation or did he think in the
spirit that I was thinking, and was
singing for our mutual encouragement
or was that sincere, honest face
really looking upward in holy adoration
to view those mansions bright
and fair, or was my deportment in
passing such as to make me appear
an impeltinent, imprudent gazer,
were thoughts that passed in quick
succession through my mind.
I had only went a mile when I
met another man whose appearance
showed very clearly that he was a
laboiing man and a man of small
means. The torn out button holes
and the threadbare appearance of his
coat intimated that many winters of
service it had rendered to its owner.
He had some flour sacks and a parcel
of bacon in his wagon, and in his
hand a little hat for probably some
little bright eyed urchin at home.
As he passed he was humming a
tune aud when passing by I could
hear in an earnest, submissive tone,
"Sweet hour of prayer, may I thy *
consolation share.*'
Only a mile or so more and I
passed a nicely dressed man of neat
appearance and a fine turnout, and
in a boisterous manner passed on
hastily singing, "Yes my own dearly
loved chicken, I'll go with you to
every cotton picking."
Do men think as differently as
they appear and do the external ap
pearances really reflect the internal
sentiment ?
