A* The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25tb; rebuilt July 19,1894. ? ? G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. jv - f * : LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 4, 1890. ITow County Law. % x Governor Ellerbe will Approve It on January 1st The county government bill, which was adopted and ratified at the last session of the general assembly, has not yet been signed by Gov. Eilerfce. However, it will be signed, and will be in force on January 1st. The original bill was aimed at the township boards of commissioners, but the act as it now stands is a patchwork of exemptions. "We publish a ' short synopsis of the law which applies to Lexington and other coun ties: Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of South Carolina. That the office of county supervisor, as now provided by law shall continue, and the successors of the prespnf pnnervisors shall be elected by the people at the next general election with a term of office for two years, and until their successors shall q lalified and such supervisors shall receive the pay and execute the bonds as now provided by law. * * * Sec. 2.

Their terms to be co terminal as now provided by law. The chair t ii :?i i._ ..? man in cue special uaoius, ui assessors, shall be ex-officio members of the county boards of equalization.

It meets in 1900. r'. X Against Imperialism. Colonel W. J. Bryan Tells Where He Stands. Colonel W. J. Bryan, on leaving his command, the Third Nebraska, gave out the following interview: "My reason for leaving the army was set forth in my letter to the adjutant general tendering my resignation. Now'that the treaty of peace has been concluded, I believe that I />on Vuj mrtro nepfnl fn mv coimtrv as a civilian than a soldier."' Colonel Bryan then proceeded to the discussion of public questions, saying: "The people of the United States, having rescued Cuba from foreign control, may now resume the discussion of the domestic problems which confront this nation and turn to the consideration of the new questions arising out of the war. "I may be in error; but in my judgment, our nation is in greater danger just now than Cuba. Our people defended Cuba against foreign arms; now they must defend themselves and their couni^p against a foreign idea?the colonial idea of European nations. Heretofore greed has perverted the government and used its instrumentalities for private gain, but now the very foundation principles of our government are assaulted. ' The imperialistic idea is directly meeting for organization may elect a clerk, wbo shall receive such salary as shall be fixed by said board at their first meeting, the same not to exceed the sum of two hundred dollars, * * each of said commissioners shall receive the sum of three dollars per day for each day actually in service, not to exceed twenty-five days in each year, and said commissioners shall upon their appointment quality as other county officers and receive their commissions from the Governor and Secretary of State, without, charge. Sec. 3. That on the first day of antagonistic to the idea and ideals ! which have been cherished by tne i . I American people since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Oar nation mast give up any intention of entering upon a colonial policy (such as is cow pursued by European countries), or it must abandon ^ the doctrine that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. "We may believe that governments come up from the people, or we may believe that governments come down to the people from those who possess the heaviest cannons and the largest ships; but we cannot advocate both doctrines. "To borrow a Bible quotation, 'A house divided against itself cannot stand;1 paraphrasing Lincoln's declaration, I may add that this nation cannot endure half Republic and half colony, half free and half vassal. Our form of government, our traditions, our present interests and our future welfare all forbid our entering upon a career of conquest. "Jefferson has been quoted in support of imperialism; but our opponents must distinguish between imperialism and expansion; they must also distinguish between expansion that involves us in the quarrels of Europe and the Orient. They must still further distinguish between expansion which secures contiguous territory for future settlement and expansion which secures us alien races for future subjugation. "Jefferson favored the annexation of necessary contiguous territory on the North American continent; but he was opposed to wars of conquest, and expressly condemned the acquiring of remote territory." When aaked how the colonial policy could be prevented, Colonel Bryan said: "Some think that the fight should be made against the ratification of the treaty, but I would prefer another plan. If the treaty is rejected negotiations must be renewed, and instead of settling the question according to our own ideas we must settle it by diplomacy, with the possibility of international complications. It will be easier, I think, to end the war at once by ratifying the treaty and then deal with the subject in our own way. The issue can be presented directly by a resolution of congress declaring the policy of the nation upon this subject. The president says in his message that our only purpose in taking possession of Cuba is to establish a stable government and then turn that government over to the people of Cuba. C;n gress could reaffirm this purpose iu regard to the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico. Such a resolution would make a clear cut issue between the doctrino of self government and the doctrine of imperialism. We should reserve a harbor and a coaliDgstation in Porto Rico and the Philippines in ? ?urn for services rendered, and I think we would be justified in asking the same concession from Cuba. "Ia the case of Porto Rico, where the people have as yet expressed no desire for an independent government, we might with propriety declare our willingness to annex the island if the citizens desire annexation; but the Philippine I-lands are too far away and their people too different from ours to be annexed to j the United States, even if they dej sired it." i To the Public.

A business man has a daughter and also a confidential clerk, and the cenfidential clerk has for sometime been attentive to the daughter; but he has not sufficient courage to come to the point, though the young woman has never done anything to scare him off, for he is a first class fellow in every respect. The other evening he was making a call, and about 9 o'clock her father came in. n danrcro " hfi Rflift. 4'hoW about 14U) 7 that deal we were talking about ibis afternoon? Did you see the part}?'1 "Yes, sir, and I expected to see you this evening and tell you about it." "My dear," said the father, turning to his daughter, "will you retire for a few minutes? George wants to speak business for a while." The daughter rose up; but hesitated. "Why do I have to go?" she asked doubtfully. "Because, dear," answered tLe father, "you are not interested. Why do you want to stay?" She blushed and started out. ''Because, papa," she twittered, "I'd rather like to hear George talk business just once." Then George got red, and the father looked at them both significantly, and the girl fled.

THE BRADFISLD REGULATOR CO., Atlanta Ga. Charity. > Universal love, charity, or good will to men, signifies the same sentiment. Charity is more generally used in the sense of feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, the Mohammed gave it a wide range, as follows:?Every good act is charity. Your smiling in your brother's face is charity?an exhortation of your fellow-men in virtuous deeds is equal to alms-giviQg?your putting a wanderer on the right road is charity? your removing stones and thorns, and other obstructions from the road, is charity?your giving water to the thirsty is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the work he does in this world to his fellow-men. When he dies, people will ask what property has he left behind him?? but the angels who examine him in the grave will ask. "What good deeds hath thou sent before thee?" La Grippe Successfully Treated. "I have jast recovered from the. second attack of la grippe this year," says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the Lender, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days against ten days for the former attack. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy as I had to go to bed in about six hours after being 'struck' with it, while in the first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting 'down.'"

One Sunday not long ago the minister of a small country peiish in Scotland had the misfortune to forget his sermon and did not discover his loss till he reached the church. The congregation being already assembly, he was is a sorry plight. Suddenly an idea struck him. He sent for John, the beadle, and in I TV 1 structea mm to give out rsaim cxix (containing 1TG verses,) while he hurried home for his sermon. On his journey back to the church he saw the faithful beadle standing at the church door, waviDg his arms and ahoutiDg at him. One reaching the door he exclaimed: "Are they singing yet, John?" "Aye, sir,*' replied John, "they're at it yet, but they're chirping like sparrers."' A little boy sat on the stoop ciying. After a while he stooped and seemed buried in thought. Looking ud suddenly, he said: "Mamma, k ? ' wbat was I crying about?*' "Because I wouldn't let you go out and play.'* "0 yes," and be set up another howl. Mrs. Wigwag (reading society paper)?"The bride was supported to the altar by her father." Wigwag? ' Yes, and it's ten to one lie'il keep on supposing her." Charlie's Authority: "I've called you three times, Charlie," said a mother to her little son, "and I'm very much annoyed because of your failure to answer me.'' "Well, mamma,'' replied Charlie, who was very fond of reading Bible stories, "you ain't any better than the Lord, are you?" "No, of course not,*' auswered the mother, iu surprise. "Why did you ask that?" "Because," replied the little fellow, "the Lord called Samuel three times, and he didn't get mad about it." - He Was Doing It. A gentleman going into his stable one day found his little son astride of one of the horses, with a slate and pencil in his hand. "Why, Harry," he exclaimed, "what are you doing?" "Writing a composition," was the reply. "Well, why don't you write it in the librar}?" asked the father. "Because," answered the little fellow, "the teacher told me to write a ; composition oi*a horse." Pearls of Thought. You cannot "train up" a child by keeping down all of his aspirations. Ignorance loves to wear borrowed garments, and go out riding with wisdom. Those who are always looking for r O favors are not the most willing to give them.
