The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25ih; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HARM AX. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. DECE1IBLR 28. 1898. Two of the largest American transports will embark soldiers at Char* * ? t ? * .1 > r . i (lesion icr loieniueges ulju jj.uciiuiao. A big order has been placed for rails and other materials by Russia for the Eastern Chinese railroad. It is qpw said that the German sentiment is etrcBgly in favor of friendly relations with the United States. Many soldiers who have been discharged from the volunteer service of Uncle Sam, have re enlisted in the regular army. Two more mills have been shut down in Augusta and there are now about six thousand operatives uniinployed in and argund that city. The Greenville Mountaineer wants to kBow if this government is a Republic or an Empire ? It is a Republic in theory and an Empire in practice. There is a great clamor just now to reduce taxes. If we had less talk and more reduction more good would be accomplished. t.' " The bill providing for an increase of the standing army of this country has been reported to the National House of Representatives by Chairman Hull. Commodore Cromwell, commandant of the new naval station at Havana, has notified the naval department that he has hoisted his fiag cn the auxiliary cruiser Resolute, which has just arrived in that port. The vessel will remain at Havana as a 8 ation snip. North Carolina, not contended ? with having robbed South Carolina of a President, now seeks to steal the birth place of Victor Blue, the gal iant young South Carolinian, who so gallantly distinguished himself in the Spanish-American war. The cheek of North Carolina is as great as the kick of the muie. The terms of peace between Spain and the United States, which were signed by the peace commissions in Paris, have been delivered by commissioner Day to President McKinley. The contents of the document, however, will not be made known until it is submitted to the Senate. Two of the Spanish ships suok by ^ Admiral Dewey, which have recently been raised, have arrived at Hong Kong. After being thoroughly repaired they will be kept in Dewey's fleet on account of their peculiar fit cess for the waters of the Archipelego. ' Admiral Schley, the Santiago hero has been presented with a costly and vary valuable sword by hi3 admirers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey afid Delaware. Although the adminisv tration has done him an just and Btudied wrong to parade the weakness of its favorite SampsoD, the people love and esteem the services of ri ? i ?sc a ley. State Superintendent of Public Instruction of New York, C. H Skinner, in a recent decision, has decided that no sisters of charity of the Roman Catholic church, wiU be permitted to teach in the free public schools of that State while wearing the garb of their sisterhood, notwithstanding the fact that we live in a country whose boast is religious liberty where every person is pre^ sumed to worship their God according to the dictates of their own con^ 5 science. Ethan E. Hitchcock, the great grandson of the leader of the famous Green Mountain Boys, whose dashing bravery during the Revolutionary war won for them a world wide reputation, has been ? offered the Secretary of the Iuterior Portforlio vice Bliss, resigned. Hitch cock is now United States Ambassador at the Court of Russia in St. Petersburg, and his becali papers ba7e been forwarded to him. His successor to his present office has not } et been named. Many a Christmas pleasure of ihi politician whose lease on his j ;b is about to expire, have been subserved to the effort to strengthen the political fences in weak places and keep the "pig in clover" yet awhile longer. "When heaven was resounding with the melody of the "new song" and the eaith was filled with the glad itfrain of "peace on earth and good will toward men,v the politicians 1 ~Kuon sfvnrrrrlinor nn fViP "mfTfirpd I jjavc wttu onu&&i?uS w? ~ - e>? ~ edge" to keep their hands on the public teat. Such is life, while one part of the people are happy another part are unhappy. Several members (f the he*vy | artillery stationed at points along the cost of this State, have been honorably discharged. The Filipino envoys are back in i this country and they are still bitterly opposed to annexation. Thoy say { that their people want nothing but freedom, pure and simple. There are some ugly indignities daily committed on Spanish business men who were noil combatant in the late skirmish between America and Spain, by the Cuban rabble. It is encumbent upon the United States, for tbe sake of humanity and in the name of freedom and Christian civilization to protect those helpless people and put a stop to these indignities. The two of three weeks of Con! gress has been consumed almost entirely in the disposal of the issues arising out of the late war, and the annexation of Hawaii. But little if any other business of public interest has been transacted and is probable that no other business except tbat in reference to the Spanish march over will receive the attention of our solons. The war, be it understood is now a popular hobby, and tbe politicians are ridiDg it for all it is worth. The President has signed the bill regulating the sittings of the United States court in this State. Tbe time of their conveyance has been changed so as to suit the conveniences of the Judges and perhaps those of the common people. The operatives, who are cut on a strike, have issued a stroDg appeal to the textile workers of the country for financial assistance in prolonging the righteous fight against the unjust encroachment of capital upon their rights of labor. These strikers, who are skilled, industrious and honest laborers have pitched their con tentions on the high grounds of justice and right and claim that their wages have been reduced to such figures that it is impossible to support themselves with any degree of respectability and that to continue work at the wages offered "means simply poor food, ragged clothes, sickness and all the other evils which poverty brings." The appeal states the presenKsituation concisely and eloquently and it will doubtless strike a responsive chord in the heait of all who believe that labor should be elevated rather than degraded and that the laborer is worthy of his hire so as make it content and consequently reliable. One sentence in particular is very pathetically, aswtl! as truthfully put, which is as follows: "Brother laborers, we appeal to you in our distress. Oar cry is the cry of the distressed. We come to you as brothers. You know our condi tion. Can you turn us away in oui greatest time cf need? Will you turn us away empty handed?" Ail communications and contributions should be addressed to Forrest Gray, chairman of the relief committer, Augusta, Ga. Probably the easist habit to acquire and one of the hardest to get rid of is the habit of croakiDg. It is also one of the most disagreeable as well as-unplesant ones and the person who is addicted to this habit has our deepest commiseration and profoundest sympathy. To the croaker the refulgent rays of the glorious sun I 1 ! 1'i 1 1 # A give3 warmtn, vitality ana uio to | the world and the rain drops which | fall in showers from the clouds above to revive, refresh and distribute the life sustaining element to thirsty nature are alike to him. He can see nothing good in the bestowal of these gifts by a thoughtful creator for the health, happiness and enjoyment of mankind. They are only harbingers of direful evil. If the sun shines too hotly the crops will surely burn up and ruin haunts his waking thoughts and midnight dreams. If from his gloomy forebodings thel'e is too much rain everything will be drowned out and the shadowy outlines of the poor house rises before his vision to make him more miserable and to add more dreariness and darkness to his lift's pathway. For him life is made up of a succession of thorns and thistles and Innalmooo qyi/3 rlicor\nr>tnf mcnfc liL'O luucnutoc niiu de&d men's bones, to serve as mile stones in the journey of life. To him comes no genial warmth and brightness which flows from the fountains of peace, happiness and contentment, cheering those around him with that cheerfulness which makes life worth living and turns the wildness and desolation of this world into the beautful garden of happiness filled with may bright hued flowers to dispense thefragrace of their richness and make it a tit dwelling place for man.

Saltpeter is used in meat curing because il has antiseptic properties, and gives a bright red color to the meat. It does not appear to be harmful to consumers in the quantities which are used for this purpose. Common salt preserves meat by withdrawing water from its fibres, and by reason of its antiseptic properties. Sugar also helps to displace ' < -3J. i. It. [ water, aDd it3 lasieoueu auus iu ine ! agreeable fl ivor of the meat. 1 The disadvantage of usiDg ealt is that it withdraws from the meat seme of the best and most essential portions of the juices. Various suggestions have been made to overcome this, in a measure. The one made by Leibig was that dry rubbing with salt should be discontinued that the fresh meat should, instead, be placed in a strong brioe made up of common salt, Chili-saltpeter, potassium chicride, and meat extract. The salt used should be previously purified by application of sodieum phosphate whereby the calcium and magnesium possibly present as impurities will be thrown ?-? nromnih'ntc. wViPT! tbfiHP UU YV JLi U9 U - ? ? settled to the bottom, the clear liquor may be drawn off and the other in gredients added.

It imparts health, vigor, virility, strength and elasticity to the organs that bear the burdens of maternity. It fits for wifehood and motherhood.

An honest medicine dealer will give you what you ask for, and not try to persuade you to take some inferior substitute for the little added profit he may make thereon. Mrs. Jas.

I was troubled with female weakness, had pains in my back all the time, sometimes so severe that I could not lie in bed at night. I tried different doctors but-they conld not help me.

I Brooks Easterling, living near here, j was buried at Calvary Methodist J church. She was married only a year and left a little infant only a few hours old. She was a Christian girl and faithful wife and in early life became a member of the Baptist church and livtd her faith consistently. She was the daughter of that worthy citizen of Cedar Creek, Jcs. Williamson. On Wednesday night of 14^ la3t at 12 o'clock Mrs. Caroline R. Dowling after a severe struggle of about half of an hour q iietly peseecl away. Mrs. Dowling was the widow of Aaron D. Dowling who preceeded her several years to the promised land. She wa3 nearly sixty years of age, and was the mother of seven children all of whom are still alive. She and her husband both represented a long line of Baptist ancestry and both of'them in early life, before marriage, professed the faith of their fathers and became life members of that belief. She lived in the home of her childhood till after the marriage of her eldest daughter, Leila E. Dowling to D. J. Knotts. Soon | after this she rented her plice afc Norway in Orangeburg county, and made the home of her children her home till her death. She was laid to rest beside her kindred in the graveyard of the Willow Swamp church, near Norway, of which she was the greater of her life a member Her children expect very soon to remove their father's remains from the Dowling family graveyard in Barnwell county and place them beside their mother's quiet bedside, where a place has been left for that purpose, that the husband and companion may L ? 1 CCn l OOT frt mnttlPT It SI) lU^ClLlCl DLIU UVU) >v and father, brothers and sisters. She lived to see the last of her children become members of the christian church. The maDy friends of our patriotic and public-spirited fellow-citizen, Banian Cheney regrets very much to learn of his extremely critical condition. Notwithstanding the medical skill of his physician, Dr. Brooker, "the Keir will soon strike the other shore and our christian friend will join with those who have gone before. Squire Cheney has passed his three score and ten and is now going on borrowed time. The Methodist Conference has returned Rev. T. J. McFarlane to this circuit for another year to the satisfaction and delight of a very large majority of the laymen of his fraternity. Mr. Daniel Kinsler of Brookland, has been down in this community buying up cattle for his pasture on the CoDgaree and on Saturday he carried away some fifteen head. The people on Swansea expect to have a "dime reading" on Friday night at the Gantt Hotel. On last Monday, Willie Horsey left here to go to his brother John Horsey, who has been two years in Florida and Willie expects to make his future home there. Tbey are the sons of Samuel Horsey who lives near Swansea and if they prove worthy of their father's record here, we will have no cause to be ashamed of these sons of Carolina in their newhome.
