The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25tb; rebuilt July 19, 1891. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and rub'isher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 11. 18m. % "Aguinaldo in bis manifest j declared he had never agreed at Singapore, Hong Kong or elsewhere, to recognize the sovereignty of the Ameri cans here, and insists that he returned to the Philippines on an American ship solely to conquer the Spaniards and win independence. He asserts that both his proclamations on May 24th and June 12th, slated this fact officially, and he claims that Maj Gcrn. Menitt confirmed this by a proclamation days before the Spaniards capitulated, stating clearly and definitely that the American forces came to overthrow the Spanish government and liberate the Filipinos. In conclusion, Aguinaldo declared that he had natives and foreigners as witnesses that the American forces recognized not only by acts that the Filipinos were belligerents, but by publicly saluting the Filipino flag as it triumphantly sailed these seas before ihe eyes of all nations. Aguinaldo then solemnly protested, in the name of the deity who empowered him to direct his brethren in the difficult task of regeneration, against the intrusion of the American government and reiterated that he can produce proofs that he was brought here on the understanding that the Americans promised him their co opera y tion to attain independence. The revoluntionary leader then called upon all his followers to woik to gether with force and assures them he is convinced that they will obtain absolute independence, and urging them never to return 'from the glorious road' on which they have 'already so far advanced.'" Senator Hoar delivered a powerful and convincing speech in the United States Senate last Monday in opposition to the Republican doctrine of expansion. It was a scathing arraignment of the administration for * its wide divergence from the principles of our Republican form of our government and the doctrines and policies of the Fathers of our government. It is only piece by piece that the liberties of a free and independent people are curtailed that it is -wstwr possible for a change in the system of governments. All history, sacred as well as profane, teaches the lesson that the price of liberty is eternal vigilence" and that to retain that which we have we must resist every effort whose tendancy is to curtail or rob us of the least of our rights and privileges. An increase of the standing army is a dangerous menace to our liberties and should not be permitted. The acquisition of foreign territory is an innovation upon the time honored pinciples of our republic and is a precedent which should never be established. Senator Hoar is light and is deserving of the thanks of the American people for his manly stand iD defense of their rights, by voice, influence and vote. The State Legislature met in annual session yesterday and one of its first acts was to receive a resolution providing for the extension of the time for paying taxes without 'the penalty. The House was organized by re-election of Frank Gary as Speaker, T. C. Hamer defeated Gen. Gray for Clerk. All the old officers were then re-elected. The only change in the officers of the Senate was the election of Mr. John T. Gas. ton Sergeant-at-arms to succeed Mr. Floyd, who has been elected Adjutant General, Senator R. B. Scarborough of Horry, was elected^resid*nt pro tern. A resolution was introduced pro A viding for a fine sword to be presented to Victor Blue. The message of the Governor was received and read. The Governor devotes much ^ space to the consideration of finances and the dispensary. He advocates prohibition or dispensary to be decided by a direct vote of the people of the several counties. This is about all of the business so far transacted. The Edgefield Monitor published from Johnston in that county, has changed management. Mr. Charles o o J. Terrell, has purchased the plant . - I and good will of the paper from Mr. j \V. A. McLenna, who retires from } the business management and editcrial chair of the paper. Mr. McLen- i na is an experienced newspaper maD, a fearless writer and has the courage J of his convictions. Our intercourse 1 with him has been extremely pleas- j ant and we shall miss his brilliant ! and thoughtful editorials. To Mr. ! Terrell the Dispatch extends the right hand of fellowship and wishes for j him a large list of paying subscribers, j a liberal advertising patronage and j a perpetual plathorie pocket book. Gen. Weyler, the brutal Captain i General of Cuba, was given a second j banquet in Madrid last Saturday. There is a terrible state of affairs at Iioilo. The insurgents there have barricated the streets and the principal buildings have been "keroseued" with a view of setting them on fire should the Americans attempt to disperse the insurgent bands by force of arms. It is said that the first shot of bombardment will lead to the sacking and burning of the city. The banks have placed there treasure aboard the United .States transJ? TM? ?nnnrolioiiciAn K pons. JLIJe gI?>CCC itj/^ltuwiu.v.. felt on both sides. The insurgents are determined to resist American invasion at the cost of their lives. They have been struggling for years for liberty and are unwilling to exchange the Spanish for the American yoke. Public demonstrations have been held in Pampangas proviuce, and the proclamation of Aguinaldo was ratified amid the wildest enthusiasm and the most fanatical excitement. Iu a skirmish between the insurgents and Americans, private Silvey's skull was fractured from the effects of which he will probably die, and private Kirkpatrick received some slight flesh wounds. It is conceded that McKinley's doctrine of conciliation is impossible. To the great disappointment of the friends of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, particularly those living South of the Mason-Dixon line, the war department has apparently ignored his brilliant war record; his valuable services to the government in his management of its affairs in Havana prior to the breaking out cf hostili ties in the Spanish-American war. It was confidently expected that at the cessation of hostilities he would be made military Governor of Havana for which he was pre-eminently qual ified both by experience and obsei vation. But, alas, the press dispatches informs us that he is to be given only a subordinate position and that Gen. Ludlow has been appointed Governor of Havana, and thus the curtain again drops upon another act of favoritism which has marked every step of the administration in the late war. Senators Tillman and McLaurin, and in fact the entire South Carolina delegation in CoDgress are working laborously to secure the payment from the United States government of the money advanced by the State of South Carolina to the State volunteer troops before they were mustered into services. Thus far their efforts have been unavailing. The Treasury Department acknowledges the justness of the claim but proposes to pay it as an offset to an amount due the Government by the State of South Carolina. There are other Southern States similarly situated and it is probable that the claims will have to be carried before Congress for settlement. M. JR H. Greneker, Jr., has retired from the editorial management of the Newberry Observer and he has been succeeded by Mr. W. P. Hou seal. Mr. Greneker is a strong, clear and logical writer and his editorials were the brilliant productions of a thoughtful and careful mind. His retirement is a loss to journalism. Mr. Houseal is a graceful and forceful writer and the Observer was indeed fortunate in securing his services. We wish both of - o these young men abundant success. The Lutheran Visitor, the official organ of the Lutheran denomination in this State, has lately changed its "make up" and it now comes out in a , convenient, neat and attractive form. We congratulate Mr. W. P. Houseal, | the publisher, in particular and the Lutherans in general on the improvement of their paper. May it have a long and prosperous life and its influence for good may become more and more widespread as it grows older. Gen. Ludlow has appointed Major John Gary Evans, former Governor of this State, Military Mayor of Havana. His appointment is attributed to the influence of his wife's people in the North. It sometimes happens to be a fortunate thing to marry a Northern girl, or at least John Gary Evans has found it to be so. The ranks of Admiral and ViceAdmiral will be revived and Dewey will be appointed to the first and the second will fall to either Sampson or Schley. If the administration pursues its present course of rewarding favorites irrespective of merit Samp- I son will be the one who will get the ! plum. - ?? The Agricultural Hall, after being J used for some years as the.headquar- | ters of the State Dispensary, will | shortly be turned into a hotel, it is i said, with Mr. N. W. Brooker, as i manager. There is only one chance in a thou sand for Congressman Diugley to rally. The announcement of his death is momentarilly expected. Senator Mason has introduced a | terse anti expansion resolution. j M;>jor Butler, a eon of Geu. M. C. Butler of Edgefield, who is now n the United States army stationed 11 Havana, was the first to float the American fi ig over that city. The United States gunnery ship Lancaster has left Portsmouth, X. H., for P^rt Royal, this State, with s:xty apprentices who are to practice in that port and be graduated as gun captains. For the Spanish-American skirmish, this State has furnished a Maj >r General, M. C. Butler, of Edgefield and a Brigadier General, John 11. "NVaties, of Charleston. Secretary of War Alger has seDt an interesting communication to the Adjutant General of many Southern States in reference to the care of the graves of the Confederate dead. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs Ada E. Hart, of Gorton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my luDgs; cough set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four Doctors gave me up, sayiDg I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above.

Aleatha Happenings. To the Editor of the Dispatch: _ The health of our community is very good, except Mr. J. W. Grandy who has a spell of sickness and has been in bed for over two months, and much to the regret of the com munity he does not seem to improve much. The farmers around here have sown more small grain this time than they have in years before. Mr. Wade Hall is moving his saw mill from Mr. Q lattlebaum's to Mr J. M Fox's place where he is going to saw railroad timber and other bills. Quite a crowd of people, both old and young, were gathered at the home of Mr. Felix Burgess on Sun day, January 1st, listening to the charming music played on the organ by Miss Hortense Lindrum, when the Rev* Joab Edwards came ia and had a short talk with some one in the crowd and was enj >ying himself as oDly the good and pure in heart know how, when some oue told him that everything was ready for a pleasant surprise and a pretty little drama The two principal actors, Mr. Joseph Johnson, of Beaulah, Aiken county, S. C, and Miss Pauline Burgess, soon made their appearance, accompanied by the following couples: Mr. A B. Quattlebaum with Miss Belle Hallman, Mr. Julian Quattlebaum with Miss E^telle Hallman, Mr. Edwin Quattlebaum with Miss Lula Johnson, Mr. Daniel Burgess with Miss Ctrrie Davis, Mr. Samuel Davis with Miss "Willie Burgess, an were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony by the Rev. Joab EdA nrvn rrvofnlo _ \\aiU5j. rVUCl IUC usual tuupiuium tions were extended to the happy couple those present went on with their music and singing enjoying themselves. Mifs Horlcnse Landrum of Batesburg is teaching a flourishing school at Long Branch, and she is a good teacher and is well beloved by her scholars and friends.

Miss Bettie, daughter of Mr. "Wal ter Shealy, died ou December 27tb, 1808, after an illness of about six weeks. She had just crossed the threshold and was budding into the beautiful estate of noble j womanhood when dtath claimed her for his own aud transplanted the lovely flower into that garden on j high where neither sickness, decay j nor death are known. She was the 1 light of home and the joy of the ' community. In her social relations I she was thoughtful and attentive to ; others, losing self in considering the I wishes of others. She was a devot- j ed Christian, humbly relying with | implicit cunti tence and trust on tl e promises < f hi-n who told bis b<> litvt-rs to fear no evil for he would be with tbem even uuto the end and j that after tbis life's ritful fever w s o'er be would receive them iu j glory in bis father's bouse. H< r : companions found iu her a warm and i sympathizing friend whose pleasure j it was to make others happy. She leaves a father and mother, ; ftvn civtprs nnd two brothers and a large host of friends and relatives to j mourn her departure. Her remains were laid away to I rest in Union Church to await ! the dawn of the glorious resurrec- j tion morn when the Master cometh ; to make up his jewels. The family j has our deepest sympathy in this | hour of sore affliction. Lorena, S. C. 0. 0. D. A New Obstacle. The old obstacles that used to prevent the marriage of loving couples arc out of date. The blood and-thunder villian is a myth nowadays. The cruel father is only a tradition. Distance, absence and shipwreck in these days of cheap, safe and swift transportation do not count. The new obstacle is a common sense one. It is ill-health on one side or the other, and sometimes on both. Men nowadays hesitate to marry a woman, no matter how beautiful, no matter how attractive, or interesting, or witty, if she is a sufferer from ill-health. All men worth having desire happy, healthy children. Any woman who will, may fit herself for the duties of wifehood and the exalted function of motherhood. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription banishes all hindrance in the nature of local ill-health. It gives health, power and capacity to the delicate and ini; portant organs concerned in wifehood aiv" maternity. It corrects all displacements, allays inflammation, heals ulceration, stops exhausting drains and soothes pain. It prepares for natural, healthy motherhood. It makes maternity easy and safe and almost painless. It insures a new-comer constitutionally strong and able to withstand the usual ills of babyhood. It is the greatest of nerve tonics and restoratives. Medicine dealers sell it and an honest dealer will not urge a substitute upon you. "After suffering untold tortures." writes Mrs. J. Ferguson, of Box Douglas Station. Selkirk Co., Manitoba. " I thauk C.od I found relief aud cure in Dr. I'ierce's Favorite Prescription." The profit side of life is health. The balance is written in the rich, red. pure blood of health. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation and make the blood rich and pure. They never gripe. By druggists. SHERIFF'S SALE.
