The Lexington Dispatch j Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1891. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8. 1899. The river and harbor bill has passed CoDgress. The blizzard of Monday and Tuesday was general all over the United States.. & The dispensary constables, who are charged with killing Mrs. Stuart, - - ? L will apply to Judge .fcrnesi wary a? I Lancaster today for bail. Sagasta and his entire cabinet have tendered their resignations to the Qjeen Regent of Spain and they have been accepted. The squadron of several nations are cruising in Cainese waters and | the indications all point to an early j beginning of hostilities in the Flowery Kingdom v __?? Senator Sheppard has been grooming for years for the gubernatorial chair, and the Edgefield papers have started a little boomlet in his interest. It has early bloom to early die. . Orange groves have been killed and a number have been materially injured by the cold, and as a consequence this juicy fruit will be scarce next winter and the prices will be out of sight. ff The revenue department has decided that agricultural liens are taxable only as mortgages; in other words that an agricultural lien for a sum under $1,000 does not require a revenue stamp. __________________ The Governor has signed all the bills passed duriDg the last session of the Legislature. This is pretly good work for a "puny" Governor as his enemies claim him to be. An other lie nailed to the masthead. . It is reported, and the report is generally believed, that the Seaboard Air Line, the Southern's greatest rival, has scooped the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad system. If this rumor is correct Columbia will have another railroad. Every blow hit the dispensary only makes it that much stronger with the people. The dispensary law is here to stay, and the sooner its enemies are taught to obey the law the sooner will bloodshed cease and the j supremacy of law and order be re-' established. uThe whisky question," says the Laurensville Herald, "has been narrowed down to this: Shall the towns and cities run rough shod over the law, or will they be made to obey the law?" Weil said, and it is made stronger because the issue is truly 6tated. Gov. Ellerbe has for the present withheld his signature from the bill changing the time for holding the ourts in Charleston county, which passed the recent session of the General Assembly. He has done so by request so as to prevent confusion and cost. i A peculiar feature of the recent freeze in Florida was the effect it had upon the yellow pine trees. Their sap was frozen stiff, as was told by turpentine men that when the trees were tapped the sap did not run, and thousands of these val uable tree3 have since died. A report has been industriously circulated to the effect that work in the Governor's office has been allowed to accumulate by his illness and the public service has been impaired therefrom. Private Secretary Evans emphatically denies this and says that the work is well in hand. Fifty insurgents were killed at a bombardment of Guadaloupe last week by the captured Spanish gunboat La Guna de Bay and Lieuten ant Scott's battery. Sixth Artillery ' We can shoot them down, but is it right'*, is Senator Tillman's unanswerable argument. Editor Gantt has sold the Pitd- j raont Headlight and the Evening ! Star of Spartanburg, and will engage in farming operations. He has j turned the per. which is mightier ! than the sword, into ploughshares. His retirement, however, from the j journalistic field will not be long, j Mark this. * - - j It is rumored that Columbia will j shortly have another daily paper, or j at least arrangements are being made | having that olj-ct in view. In poli- j tics it will uphold the principles of ' the Reform element of the Demc- j eratic party. There is room for6ucb j a paper iD Columbia, aDd, indeed, its J establishment is absolutely essential i to the interest of that faction. It ? will certainly be liberally supported j in this couDty. | So far about four hundred negro* s have left th-* vicioitv of Calhoun Falls in Abbeville couDty, for Mississippi, "(be Land of Promise." While the agiicultural interests may suffer temporarily from this emigration of negroes, in the end it will be permanently benefited because the places of these departing negroes will be supplied by honest, industrious arid reliable white immigrants who will add materially to the wealth of our State and become useful citizens. Yates' Plantation must be to Richland what Hell Hole is to Charleston ?the domicile of the lawless. From reports several negroes have met their death at the hands of negroes. We have about come to the conclusion that the best and cheapest way to settle the race problem in the South, is to arm the negro with a Si pistol and a two-for-a nickle razor and inflate him with a half pint of local option whisky; take him to a gathering and tell him to wade in McDuff and damned be he who first cries hold, enough/' The Columbia State's analysis of the statementajof the constables made to the State's reporter on the night Mrs. Stuart was killed, and their affidavits to be submitted to Judge Gary at Lancaster today, is sufficient ground for the Judge who presides at the trial of the constables, to stand every juror aside who read the article. When a newspaper attempts to forestall public opinion and seeks to prejudice a caee in court in advance of trial it transcends the liberty of the press, and becomes at once prosecutor, judge and jury and our courts would be a useless burden upon the taxpayers. The United States gunboat Concord met a schooner on the west coast of Luzon loaded with supplies for rebels at Daguport, and burned her. When the gunboat anchored in the bay the natives abandoned the town and fled in great confusion. The tale is ever thus, but yet these glorious United States whose flag, it is claimed, is the symbol of freedom and liberty, still continue to send the dogs of war, battleships, amunition and soldiers to those far away islands to murder those poor people, in the name of humanity, who are fighting to free themselves from foreign rule, while the great American Eagle sits, as a plucked bird, upon the highest crag of the Rocky | Mountains waiting in vain for the honor and glory to come along.. Every woman should know r3I that there is a great home /"'"V* medical book that tells <( v/5 v> all about the reproductive physiology l?* women< a"d all about the hometjgatinent of MZukh liar to the sex. 1\ Bv4r| 1 This book con,1 \\ k^7/k 1 tains 1008 pages wm i h\ Jz/iJIm I and over 700 il-"stratj0^s' R Pierce's Com"ion Sense ^ viser. It used to cost $1.50. Over seven hundred thousand people purchased it at that price and over i.eoo.ooo people now own copies of it. For a limited time copies will be given away free. This great book contains the names, adI dresses, photographs and experiences of hundreds of women who were once hopeless invalids, but who have been restored to robust womanly health by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This marI velcus medicine acts directly on the delicate organs distinctly feminine. It makes them strong, healthv. vigorous, virile and elastic. It fits for wifehood and motherhood. It banishes the usual suffering: of the expectant months, and makes baby's advent'easy and almost painless. It robs motherhood of its perils. It insures the robust health of the little new-comer and a bountiful supply of nature's nourishment. It transforms weak, sickly, nervous invalids into healthy, happy wives and mothers. For a paper-covered copy of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, send 21 one-cent stamps, to cover cost of mailing only, to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. For elegant French cloth binding, 31 stamps. Miss Edith Cain, of Clinton. Allegheny Co., Pa., writes: "Alter two years of suffering, I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and am now entirely cured. I had been troubled with female weakness for some time and also with a troublesome drain on the system, but now I am happy aud well.-' In cases of constipation and torpid liver, no remedy is equal "to Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They regulate and invigorate the stomach, liver and bowels. They never fail. One little " Pellet " is a gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic. They never gripe. An honest dealer will not urge a substitute upon you. School District No. 77. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I agree with Number 27 The chart is not woith more than teD dollars. The value might be in the little piece of dog cbain attached, but I can't see it in thai. The ageDt lied from beginning to end. He told me there were sixty-live thousand dollars of the dispensary profits to be turned over in January last for ihe public schools, and I see published since, there are only twenty-five thousand in the State. Then be told me the chart would have a lock. Wtll, it might be that he don't know the difference between a lock and an under latch. It was to have been delivered in good condition while one brace was split off. I do cot know aD)thiug about the maps.

II. Craps, Tiustee. N. V To Slaughter the Filipinos. Washington, March (5 ?There is some rtason to expect important news frotn Manila withiu the ntxt fortnight. It has developed that Gen. Otis has practically completed his plans for a grand onslaught of tLeinsurgents, which is expected to deprive tbem of offensive power 11 least. It is probable that he will form a large part of his force into columns as soon as his reinforcements are all at hand, and will push these iu parallel- lines through the junglts, clearing out the insurgents in every direction as the troops go forward. The Ameiican troops are getting restless and neivcus under the petty, but aunoying sharpshooting of the Filipinos, and are eo anxious to put a stop to this that Gen. O.is has yielded io their desire. Forty-one thousand officers and men of the combined army and navy forces comprise the approximate total American strength now at, en route and under orders for service at the Philippine islands. No further reinforcements are now in contemplation. The forces of the two services already stationed in and about the archipelago consists of 20 regiments of infantry, one engineer battalion, seven troops of cavalry and 11 batteries of artillery, an aggregate of about 24,500 men. Nineteen vessels with an aggregate of 297 officers, 2,990 men and 253 marines make up the naval contingent. This is exclusive of the hos pital ship Solace, with 162 officers and men all told, which is constantly passing back and forth from Manila. There are about 4,800 army reinforcements on the way to Manila, making as rapid progress as possible and there are, roughly, 7,500 men in the force under orders to proceed to the Philippines. These vessels are now at Manila or Hong Kong under the command of Admiral Dewe}: Baltimore, Bennigtob, Boston, Buffalo, Cullao, Charleston, Monacy, Concord, Culgoe, Don Juan de Austria, Helena, Isla de Luzon, I-la de Cuba, Manila, Monadnock, Monterey, Olympia, Petrel and Yorktown. These vessels carry 297 officers, 2,990 sailors and 253 marines. The Solace does not remain at Manila. The Castine and Princeton are now on their way through the Red sea to join Admiral Dewey and the Oregon and her attendant vessels, the Iris, are traveling through the Pacific to the same destination. These vessels will add to the naval force at Manila 59 officers, 739 men and 84 maiines. The captured ships Don Juan de Austiia, Isla de Luzon and Isla de Cuba are not available for immediate service as they are in need of repairs. The Solace has taken out a number of recruits, and by these the Isla de Cuba will be manned. The Wheeling will join the Manila fleet, but is not to be counted as being available in the immediate future.* The regular troops now in the Philippine islands under command of Maj Gen. Otis consist of the fol lowing: The Fourteenth United States infantry, Eighteenth United States infantry, Twentieth United States infantry, which has but lecently arrived there, consisting of 41 cffi cers and 1,21S meD; Twenty-second United States infantry and Twentythird United States infantry; a battalion of United States engineers; companies C, E, G, I, K, and L, of the Fourth United States cavalry; batteries G, H, K, and L, of the Third United States artillery, and batteries D an G, of the Sixth United States artillery. Most of the volunteer forces already in the field, and most of whom have borne the bruut of the engagements with both the Spanish army on the islands and more recently the Filipino?, have been there since the beginning of the American occupancy of the i?lancK They comprise 15 regiments of infantry, one troop of cavalry, and five batteries of artillery, as follow*: The First California, First Colorado, First Idaho, Fifty-first Iowa, Twentieth Kansas, Thirteenth Minnesota, First Montana, First Xorth Dakota, First Xibraska, Second OregoD, Tenth Pennsylvania, First South Dakota, First Tennessee, First Wyoming, First troop of the Xevada cavalry, bitteries A and B, Utah iigbt artillery, battelies A and D, of the California aitillery, the First Wyoming light battery, and tie First and Eighth companies of the United Slates signal corps. In addition to these another com piny of the sign d corps has just been formed at Manila, being reciuitcd by transfer from the regular branch of the army. This means of making up the new company was necessary by the lack of lime for the dispatch of men from the United States. R.-infuicements for the Philippines dow on the way aggregate in the neighborhood of 4,800 men all told. These are made up of 1 three ge eral expeditions as Lllowt: The transpoit Giant, wiih Gtn. Lawton aDd rtaff with a total of 42 officers and 710 men, including ODe battalion of the Seventeenth infantry regiment and four companies of the Fmrth infantry. Thie expedition sailed from New Yolk January 19, was reported at Singapore on Siturday, SDd Gen. Lawton cuhled Gen. Otis that bis expedition will reach Manila iu the eatly morning of tbe lO.h inst. Tbe transport Sherman, Col. J. F. Page commanding, carrying a total of 31 officers and 1,702 tneD, including tbe entire Third infantry reg*ment and a battalion of tbe Seventeenth infantry. Tbe Sherman sailed from New Yolk February 3. Tha trausport Sheridan, under command of Lieut. Col. J. H. Smith, of the Twelfth infantry, and a battalion of the Seventeenth infantry, mating a total of 57 cfficers and 1,79G men. Beside these the Roanoke, with a fair sized detachment of recruits for the various regiments, already in the archipelago, has gotten a good start on the way to Manila, and the transport Valencia sailed from San Francisco yesterday for Manila, via Hono lulu, with 150 recruits for the infantry, artillery and hospital corps, and a number of West Point graduates assigned to duty with various c mpanies in the Philippim s To swell this formidable list of men already on the field and en route, five regiments of infantry and the crack Sixth artillery, 7/500 men in all, are under orders to proceed to Manila at the earliest opportunity. These reinforcements, which go to the archipelago under an order is sued by the war department last week, complete the roll of troops so far as now contemplated for senile in the islands, and are as follows: The Sixth United States infantry, now at San Antonio; the Ninth United States infantry, at Madison harraptp? fhp Thirfppnth T'nifpd States infantry, at Fort Crooks and neighboring points; th? Twenty-fir t United States infantry, at Plattsburg, N. Y., and the Sixth United States artillery, now scattered along the Atlantic coast at a number of points. The departure has not yet been fixed, but they are expected to be at Manila by May 15. If the conditions are satisfactory when they reach Manila it is likely that a corresponding number of volunteers may be brought home. - The Women of the South. They Protest Against Any Other Care of Confederate Graves. Savannah, Ga., March 6.?The local chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy, which is the original chapter of the organization, adopted a resolution strongly protesting against President McKinley's suggestion respecting the Federal care of Confederate graves. The resolution says: "With full appreciation of the impulse expressed in that sentiment we shrink instinctively with hushed and holy sorrow from yielding assent. The graves of the Confederate dead are our pilgrim shrines. From their hallowed hearts eternally ascend mute pro tests against all assaults upon constitutional liberty. The record these incomparable heroes made furnish the brightest pages in American annals, wrought out by men of loftiest mould. Only reverent hand* should lay memorials over their consecrated dust. To the women of the South this sacred trust must be re served through all generations." A Sad Death Prnpnarifv News. On going to press we learn that Miss Ellen Crosson has gene from the trials and sufferings of earth to the joys of heaven. Death is always Bad but especially so when one is cut off in the bloom of youDg life. We extend our sympathies to the weeping relatives and friends, and pray that God's grace may comfort and heal their bleeding hearts. Remember that you find the very best cigare at the Bazaar.

To the E iitor of the Dispatch: Oa February 25,1899, the teachers met in the Institute building at LexiDgtin. The usual order of business wa* followed by carrying out tbe program previously published. Prof. Thad. W. Dreber spoke on the teacher's duty to bis association. The teachers present, recognizing the force and ability of Prof. Dreher's argument, passed a resolution asking the publication of this paper in interest of education and for the benefit of the teachers. Mr. W. B. Shealy's subject was carried over for the next meeting. Prof. Dent was not present to spetk on school libraries. Mr. J. Frank K^zer's exDerience ? , r - as County Superintendent of Education in past years gave him opportunity to study the sentiment of the public towards the advancement of education. In some instances he found that Lexington county is favorable to public education. But this gx>d work, like every other step to progress, has hinderances not easily overcome. The next meeting of this Association will be at Lexington on the 25ih of March, 1899. The following program has been arranged for that date: 1. The Story of Education?Mr. \V. B. Shealy. 2. Spelling?Miss Mary C. Wingard. 3. Pr'zes and Rewards?Mr. John S. Derrick. Geography?Miss Sue E. Corley. Batesburg Notes. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The snow and cold passed cff but its disastrous effects, such as killing the peaches and other damages remain. The intesne cold also entailed much suffering in every conceivable manner. The laboring diss were deprived of the opportunity to earn their accustomed wages, and many need things they cannot obtain, while every line of business was paralyzed by the stoppage of labor. Since the let up however, affairs are beginning to revive. But again it i3 raining and that will delay matters. The fanning interest is now pressing and every moment of time is precious and all are impatient to run the plow. Very little work has been done yet and they will apparently all start fair this time, for now it is corn planting time and nothing done. But the sun will yet shine as brightly as ever and good weather is sure to come, though it may be late. Guano is being hauled off as fast as the condition of the roads will permit and the amount to be used is uncertain, though sure to be large notwithstanding the evident lowprice of cotton next fall. Since my last we had a beautiful church wedding. One of Batesburg fairest daughters, Miss Ray Conner, was married to Mr. Tbos. Harden of I | Chester. "We are expecting Rev. X N.

"Don't Tell Them Whsre You Found Me." : The above is the name of a new so eg issued on the following incident: The Rev. Tbos. Delaney, when Chaplain of a large S;ate Penitentiary, while passing through the Hospital Ward was called to the bedsi le of a dying convict. The la^t words of this unfortunate youth were "Father, I see you do not know me, but you know me we'l and my family, I will die to-night." I prepared his soul's exit into eternity and whilst his hands were clasped in mine his last request was made: "In j my dying moment promise me what 11 will ?sk." I here gave him my i word; he then revealed his parentage ! who thought him dead. 4 Now give ! me your word that you will send my 'lofy home, but don't tell them where you found me." I sent the b)dyhome to another State, but they never knew where I found him. The Groene Music Publishing Co , 32 E.
