The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July ID. 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 1. 18W. We recently had the pleasure of visiting every section of the county, and were agreeable surprised to note the many improvements which have been made in every community. Those doubting Thomases who pratt about Lexington being at a stanc still and the sluggish stream of in activity is the tn!y thing whicl makes this couDty conspicious, sbouh hush their mounful tune and take 8 trip over the county aDd see what has been accomplished along the lin< of progress duriug the past year and we are satisfied that they wil return amazed and wonder strucl at the changed condition for the bet ter that a year has wrought. It ii true that the now monotonous cry o hard times is still heard, but then are calamity howlers in every com munity who wilfully shut their eye: to every improvement and have then wide open ody to the dark side o the picture, yet the fact remains tha our people are better off now thai at any period in their history. Mam have seen the fplly of depending -w " upon all cotton as a means of support and the eyes of many others are be ing opened, while all are heartil; tired of continuing a system which al lows the speculator to gamble in th< product of their labor, and are turn ing their attention more and mor< to diversity of crops and the conse quence is, full barns and plenty o hog and hominy.- In many place; the lands have been greatly improve! and premises have the appearencei of beiDg the property of happy, con tented and well to do people. Smal grain has been largely sown and wai in fine condition. It is really sur prising to one unacquainted with tb< state of affairs how much stnallgraii has been sown in this connty anc amount yet to be sown. Ouly a trij over the county can convey any true idea. Interest in the educational af fairs of the county has been awak ened and the schools are well at tended. We met with a heaity re cepfion and found wide open door: wherever we went, for which we ar< indeed thankful. May our people cou tinue to prosper until each and even one shall become millionaires. Apparently there is a cut anc dried effort on the part of high li cense advocates and anti dispensan forces to oveiflow the General Assem bly with measures claiming to be i solution of the whisky problem. This influx cf bills is only an effort, as w? see it, to scatter the dispensary forces and win a victory for high license If the prohibitionists really want t< accomplish some good they will ceas< chasing the shadow for the sub stance and direct their cftbrts in lh< only channel in which there is anj hope. If they would expend one half of the energy in improving tin dispensary system and seeing thatiti restrictions are enforced, as the] have in fighting the system the] would soon see a vast falling off ii the use of whisky. ^ We notice that Mrs. L. E. Bearc of Cbapin, has assumed control t: the Prosperity News. Mrs. Bearc has had considerable experience ir newspaper work. She has pluckenergy and is a stroDg writer anc we hope she will meet with abund ant success. The Legislature did a good thiD< when it killed the bill repealing tin lien law. We publish a synopsis o: the arguments for and against tb< repeal. Happy Event. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Married, Wednesday, January 25, 1S99, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary M. Gable, bj Kev. J. A Cromer, Mr. E. W. Shull to Miss Nettie A. Gable. This was a quiet but beautiful home wedding, in which manliness and beauty were united by the golden bands of love and happiness. At the appointed hour the parlor be gan to fill with the immediate relatives of the bride and groom who had been invited to witness the pleasing ceremony. The wedding murch was beautifully rendered by Maj. J. H. Ivoon. He is a skillful musician aud the much was grand. By this time the attendants took their places by couples as follows: Sheriff T. H. Caughman with Mtss Lizzie .ShuH, Mr. W. A. Shall with Miss Ella Gregory, Mr. J. P. Sharp with Miss Alice Fulmer, and Mr. W. H Caughmau with Miss Mary Shull. The bridal couple then took their position, and were made mau and wife. The fair bride was handsomlj arrayed in a lovely dress of white organdie heavily trimmed in satin ribbon and lace, and beautiful at all times, but surpassingly so on this occasion. The bridesmaids were dressed similar to the bride. After several weeks illnesp, the groom was 1 joking as handsome as ever, and him fe - .. j and he and the groomsmen w?re neat ly attired suitable for the occasion. A more beautiful bevy of maidens and handsome set of groomsmen could never be found. After the many congratulations, which were extended to the happy couple by all that were present, all went forth to partake of the marriage feast. The table was r beautiful, the dinner elegant and grand. The bridal gifts were nu( merous, handsome and costly. I must make special mention of two of the presents, a lovely gold watch and j chain, and a beautiful horse, j Miss Nettie Gable is one of Lexinorton's most beautiful aud acccm I j plished young ladies and Mr. Shull j is one of New Brookland's leading merchants, and a populur, prosperour and genial gentleman. He has j handsomely fitted up a beautiful home, in the heart of the but-inees j town ofNewBrookland, for the future . residence of himself and his lovely bride. May happiness and pros3 perity attend them in all their unf dertakings, and their journey adown a the stream of life be filled with pleasantness and peace, is the wish 3 of the writer. C L. 1 * f Aleatha Echoes. t To the Editor of the Dispatch: ) Since my last writing the grip has y visited this section and many of our j people have been annoyed with its , grapple. Mr. H. J. Burgess met with a bad y accident a few days ago- He was - chopping and the ax slipped and cut e his foot very painful. Mr. Hilliard Hall had the same misfortune. 3 Mr. A. B. Quattlebaum has been - appointed postmaster at Steadman's, f Mr. Wardlaw Kneece and his sons in-law, Mr. John Bailey of Swansea, J have purchased a large tract of the 3 Merritt real estate, near this place, - and is now moving on it. 1 Mr. W.

Suffering humanity should be sup plied with every means possible for its relief. It is with pleasure we publish the following: "This is to j certify that I was a terrible sufferer j from Yellow Jaundice for over six ! months, and was treated by some of the best pbvsicians in our city and ' all to no avail.

Dr. Stokes Against Imperialism. Special to The Dispatch. "Washington, D C , January 26. Representative Stokes addressed the House at the evening session .. yesterday against the pending Army Re-organization bill, and incidently against the imperialistic policy of the administration. He argued that the ''proposition to increase the stauding J army of a Republic fourfold in time I of peace or at the ctase of a success- | ful war, marks a crisis in the history j of that Republic." "It is a proposi- J tion,'1 said he, "to legislate for the j next war, or else to use the increased army for sinister purposes in the present conditions. If the first, then it applies the assumption that we are wiser than future congresses. Has llio ti-inrsQfK'in?jnt nf th? Sn.initth Will' i v"~ to ? ~r : been so free from mistakes and scani dal that those methods should be I crjftalized into law and projected into future campaigns?" "Speaking for myself," said he, "I would rather trust the volunteer soldiery, with all their alleged crudities, for the protection of our homes and the preservation of our liberties than all the standing armies of Christendom. The volunteer soldiery of America is the apparently inexhaustible reservoir of power that amazes aud mystifies Europe. The regular army can be accurately counted, weighed and neutralized. The volunteer force never?it is the great . unknown factor in the problem that j cannot be estimated or hedged ^ against. The proposition to substi- , tute a standing army is to weaken ( our position at an additional cost of j upwards of 100 million dollars an- , nually. It is more money for less security. This bill, coming at the , time as it does, construed in the light , of various utterances of the Chief Executive, means preparation for ( permanent occupation of the recently , ceded Spanish possessions." Mr. Stokes concedes the constitutional right to acquire territory in any of the ordinary ways?purchase, coLquest or treaty. "The fact is," said he, "we have run the whole < gamut as to the methods of acquisition. It is a question.of policy pure and simple?a policy for which the ( administration will have to answer at the bar of public opinion " j "One of the counts in the indictment of the Ptesident," said he, "if he shall dare to carry out his present , policy, will come up from' that very South which applauded to the echo his patriotic references to the flag. When that some South begins to feel the added pressure of 10 million more of people., producing under in- | telligent direction, and with Ameri- I can capita), the staple products if i the South, that count in the indictment will be coupled with execration ( of the policy and of its authors."' "Another count will come," he continued, "from the great labor interests of this country already pinched with want for lack of work, when they begin to fed the added pressure of the teeming millions of the Orient, swaiming through this open door to take the places in forge and factory and field?unhampered by Exclusion Acts of Congress, which must utterly fall against citizens of our own territory?and of other mib ] lions yet to be born in those islands who shall follow these, clothed with all the rights, immunities and privileges of citizenship?lights, imrnu- ' nities and privileges that no court nor Congress can ever disbar or limit until the Constitution of the United States shall have been changed." Mr. Stokes was listened to by all I present with close attention and evident interest, being often interrupted throughout by the applause of the members. i The Teachers' Association. . To the Editor of the Dispatch: The regular meeting of this organization was held at the Institute, Jan- i uary 21, 1S99. i The program was not completed on account of the absence of some of ! the speakers. Prof. O. JD. Seay responded to trie subject, "What are the Relations of School Studies to moral Training?" J He showed that it is generally con- f ceded that there is a relation. He ? showed that reading bears a di- J rect relation to moral training The teacher should advise the j pupils what to read.
