The Lexington Dispatch Burned April '25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. G. M. HARM AN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. G., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1300. Bill Arp's Letter. His Christmas Gift to a Pcor Irishman. "Heljrot Him Out of the Chaiugang? The Unfortunate Man Had Few Friends. Pat Banks is just a common man? typical of a large ^lass that form the laboring yeomanry of this mountain country. He is a combination man ?half horse and half alligator?half Iiish and half Anglo Saxon?and woiks when he is obliged to, and frolics when he can. Pat does not drink nor gamble, but is Yery social in bis nature, and dearly loves to - stand around and talk with the boys. He is an unskilled laborer, and jobs it around, but does not like solitary confinement, and hence does not like to pick cotton for a living, but works well in a brick yard or at anything where he can talk to the boys. The Irish predominates in his nature, for he is quick to resent and enjoj s a fight when he thinks he is imposed on. Last June Pat had been working faithfully for John Hilburn in a brick yard, and made a good hand, but one Saturday there was to be a baseball game in the suburbs of our IUWU) HUU JL till IU1U UllUUllJUCi'aoii V feeling very well, and would like to take a day off. Hilburn wasent crowded with work, and as he liked Pat, he gave hitn the day and Pat went to see the jubilee. He wasent one of the nine, but it seems that there was a missing man, and Pat was invited to take his place. A -strange man by the name of Weaver, from Atlanta, was the pitcher, and while Pat was at the bat Weaver pitched a foul and Pat complained of it, and they had words and used language very disrespectful, and finally got together. Pat hit him a murderous blow with the bat and knocked him to his knees, and Weaver was taken from the field "hors de combat," or words to that effect. Now, it appears that Weaver, who _ -was a bull-dosing youth from the great city, had some kin folks around here who felt aggrieved, and they had Pat arrested and bound over t court for assault and battery. But Weaver wasent as much hnrt as he thought he was, and was up and about the next day. At the July term of our court Pat was arrainged and tired and found guilty. The witnesses were stocked on Pat, and his lawyer dident know it. Even the judge was surprised, and told Pat he wouldent punish himself him if he would join the army and go to Coba and do hi3 fighting on the Spaniards. Pat dident have much time to reflect, and accepted the coi* dition. The recruiting officer took him down to Griffin and Pat was duly enrolled. A few days after he got there a train came along with sick and wounded soldiers from Cuba. They were an awful hard lot, and as Pat looked at them he became horrified, and that night he departed those coasts and walked all the way back to Cartersville?over a hundred miles. He said he was willing to fight anybody who imposed on him, but he had nothin^ agin the Spaniards and he dident think that country was healthy. And so Weaver's friends got the sheriff after him again and brought him up before his honor and he was sentenced to the. chaingang for twelve months?not so much for the fight, but because of his desertion from the army. Poor Pat had no friends and was forced to acquiesce in the hardships of the law. For five months he worked in the county chaingang and then was sold out to Atlanta to work in their chaingang. But there is a pitiful s quel to this 'f~" story. Pat has a wife and three children ?two boys, aged five and seven, and an infant child at its mother's breast. He has an aged father who was a soldier in the regular army before a the civil war, and a mother who is bed-ridden and has not walked a step in seven years. All these constitute Pat's family, and it is hard work to keep the wolf from the doer, and since Pat's imprisonment they have suffered?suffered from huDger and cnld. Thev have shelter in John Hilburn's little houae, but John is poor himself and has, they say, twelve or thirteen children neaily all of a size, and all he can co for Pat's family is to let tbem stay in his house aDd pay no rent. The two little boys can't pick more than seventy-five pounds of cottoD, and that pays about 30 cents a day. This is the only income of the family How is that for poverty, my brethren! Well, now that poor wife aDd mother is a brave little woman and when she came to our house and told her story to my wife and daughters, an 1 the water was glistening in her great big eyes, and she asked for work and said she was ashamed to beg, and when she talked about Pat and said he had his failings but was always good to her and the children and helped to nurse his good J old mother, the tears came in my wife's eyes and after she was gone our little grandchild asked me if I couldn't do something for Pat. I never said anything, but I sat still and locked into our comfortable fire and ruminated. My folks had already made up a bundle of food and clothing and placing a half-dollar in her hand told her to cheer up and the major would see what he could do. That meant me, and my wife thinks that I can do anything she wants me to do. I went down town after dinner to see the judge?Judge Fite, a just and humane man. When I told him the little story, he said: "Well, major, do you draw up a petition for Pat's pardon and I will sign it. He has been punished enough. Get him out and make a Christmas gift of him to his wife and children. I fear it will not be a very good one, but if they want him, they should have him. Pat's offense did not involve malice aforethought or moral turpitude, and there are worse men at liberty. Yes, I will cheerfully sign a petition for bis pardon.'' And so I drew up and he signed it and Colonel Maddox, the solicitor, signed it and so did the clerk and the sheriff and I took the train next morning and went down and interviewed the governor and his heart was touched and he said: "Take this to the board of pardons and if you talk to them like you have to me they will grant this pardon at once and then briDg it to me and I will sign it and you can take Pat home with you and make your Christmas gift." But, alas! The board did not meet that day. Only General Evans -was there and there was some red tape in the way and I did not get Pat out and have got to go back again and my wife is disappointed. Nevertheless, I will get him unfettered and unstriped before this is read by yonr readers and will make poverty smile once more. See if I don't. The tear-eyed wife and children shall be happy at Christmas, even 'tho Pat isen't much account, as the nabors say. His wife never made a complaint against him, but ap ologized for him and said: "Pat is eighty good to help around with his mother and the children." One rainy night I saw Bill Arp's wife in Borne, five miles from her home, hunting around for her husband and as she went from one saloon to another she inquired in a timid, humble voice: "Is my William in here?" When she found him she led him home and bathed his face and put him to bed. She said to me once: "My "William is a mighty good little man, but you know he has his failings." Ob! these Messed, faithful, patient, long suffering women. What would men do without them, and what would become of the children? Pats wife said that the two little boys made enough picking cotton to keep them in bread and wood, but the weather ! had been awful hard on them and their second-baud clothes were ali to pieces' from the briers and cockle burs aud she had patched them and patched them till there was nothing left to patch. She is a comely woman and her face was clean and her hair brushed and her common clothes were put on in a woman-like manner. John Hilburn says: "Major, she is a good woman and is always at work at something and never complains. She never had to beg before, and she wouldn't do it now if 6he could get woik. And Pat will work, too, when he can get it, but none of us can get it regular these hard times." While I was ruminating I couldn't help thinking- about the difference between that woman's home and ours so far as concerns the comforts of life. What a difference between children and those of our mairied daughters and those of our nabors who are already feasting npon Christmas and wear good, warm clothes and sleep in good beds and are happy all the day. My own happy childhood is a blessed memory to me and it grieves me to hear of little innocent children suffering for the neces saries and comforts of life. I thought of Tom Hood's pleadings for the poor? - "A leaky roof, a naked floor, A table?a broken chair: A wall so blank, my shadow I '.hank. For sometimes falling there. "And thi?e are Adam's beirs, Though doomed by chance of birth To dress so mean aud eat the ban Instead of the fat of the earth. "To get suc h humble me tis As honest ;abnr can: A bone aud a crust by the grace of God And a little thanks to man. "D'\, m?n civfeic ifpar Oh! men with mothers and wivcs, Lo >k in at the door of the suffering poor And brighten up their lives." Bill Arp. Later?A telegram fiom Atlanta says that "Pat has been pardoned and will be at home to spend Chiistmas with his family." It is possible for poor folks to be happy sometimes. B. A.

You are perhaps aware that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grfppe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneumonia, it was observed that the attack was never followed by that disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a oold or la grippe to result in that dangerous disease. It is the be6t remedy in the world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle warranted. For sale by J. E.

The Awful Life of a Lawful Wife. All have been told " Ignorance is the Mother of Crime." and that no crimes are so severely punished as those committed against Nature. The courts only echo the voice of Nature v.-btn they affirm r "Ignorance of the law does not excuse guilt." It is these fundamental facts in the operations of natural law that make it possible for a woman who enters the marriage relation with the full sanction of the law of the land and love of her heart, to be condemned to an awful life of servitude and suffering. Don't let her smile deceive you. She has trained herself to bear what she looks upon as part of the burden of her state. The underlying reason of this sad condition of affairs is ignorance. The young girl grows to womanhood ignorant of her physical needs and dangers. When a word might save her years of suffering, modesty bids her keep silent. She loves and marries and enters upon the marriage state with all its obligations to the unborn, handicapped by conditions that make life .a burden to herself and a menace to her offspring. What can be done to correct irregularties resulting from neglect, to restore the displaced organs to a natural and healthy condition, to give back vitality to a system drained by disease, to re-attune the great HARP OF THE NERVES to divine melody after the years of discord? It was the endeavor to answer these questions that gave to the world Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the most effective remedy ever compounded for the ills and ailments peculiar to the delicate feminine organization. By the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the drains that debilitate the system are promptly stopped. Inflammation and ulceration are quickly cured. Disorders of the womb and the organs sym? pathetic with it are overcome, and woman is put into a condition where the functions of nature are her pleasure as well as her privilege. In this condition children are born without anxiety as almost without pain. The elasticity imparted to the organs of parturition practically does away with the pangs of childbirth. Vitality is imparted which makes the nursing of the child a delight instead of a drain, and the robust child sharing the strength of the mother grows day by day in health and beauty. Contrast this plain statement of fact with the condition of so many women who anticipate motherhood, worn-out, suffering, fearful, anxious, bringing children into the world with reluctant suffering and rearing them painfully through a sickly childhood. Can any words speak for Dr. j Pierce's Favorite Prescription like these I facts that are part of the sum of public knowledge and testified to on both sides of I the Atlantic by hundreds of thousands of I women? "Thank God for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription " lias been the heartfelt | cry of many A WOMAN RELEASED j by its means from the results of ignorance t and neglect. There is no longer any reason why women should endure the suffering which they have almost come to regard as the heritage of their sex.
