LEXINGTON, S. C.,
"WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1SW.
The ch^rt scandal is just at pres
ent the absorbing topic of discus^iou
not only in this county, but in many
other counties in the State. The
leading reasons for complaint by the
purchasers of these charts seem to
be that the pi ice paid for them was
too high and that deception was
practiced in eft"*.cling a sale.
As to tbe first complaint we have
nothing to say, because having never
ieen one of the charts we know
notbiDg of the cost of its production.
It seems to us, however, that the
trustees went into this transaction
with their eyes open, and if they
allowed themselves to be taken in by
oily tongue agents, they should net
now squal when it is too late to accomplish
any good.
That the trustees were imposed
upon in so far as being led to be
lieve that these charts were suitable
for the average country school where
OBly the rudimentary branches are
taught, is a position well taken; but
Vioyo coAmc tn Vio nn nnpqfinn ahnut
?~ -i ?
these charts being of great assistance
to the teacher and that they are
of especial value in schools where
the higher branches are taught.
The purchase of these charts by
the trustees of the schools in this
county is peculiarly unfortunate. "We
have been trying for the past year or
so to place the free public school system
on a cash basis by raising a kind
of sinking fund by an extra levy of
one third of one mill, and now when
the object for which the extra levy
was made is almost accomplished,
to run the districts again in
debt for something that was to ssv
the least, unnecessary, is very discouraging.
Solicitor Thurmond has nol prossed
the indictments of murder against
J. B. Dorn, J. M. Coleman and J. B.
Cooley, the constables who were
charged with being implicated in the
killing of Mrs. J. M. Stuart. This
leaves W. R. Crawford, the constable
who did the sbootiDg, the only one
i) stand tria1. W1 en this case was

The city hall building of Columbia
was completely destroyed by a fire
of unknown origin last Thursday
evening, consuming property to the
value of about $63,350, on which
there was an insurance of $35,550.
In this building was the opera bouse,
the lodge rooms of several charitable
organizations, the Lend-a Hand library,
city offices, guard house, a
store, the Postal Telegraph office.
It is said that the burning building
was a brilliant sight, the like of
which has never been witnessed in
that city since Sherman's raid.
Authentic information has been
received in Columbia that United
States engineer Leland would be in
that city either today or tomorrow t
for the purpose of staking off the c
land for the Congaree dam. By se- t
curing an appropriation for this im- 1
portant work Senator Tillman has a
erected an enduring monument to I
his faithful and successful woik as \
an United States Senator. c

Lord Salisbury, the Premier of e
England, has accepted the plan of s
Germany for the settlement of the t
Samoan difficulties. The United fc
States has already agreed to the a
plan and it may now be considered c
as a settled fact- The plan proposed t
is the appointment of a tri-partite
commission, but the details have not q
yet been agreed upon. h

Spring weather at last.
The farmers era very busy these
sunshiny days.
Mayor Htndrix Las been confined
to Lis room for a few days, but we
are glad to note he is rapidly improving.
Mr. J. II. Adams, one of our bright
youDg men, has joined the Knights
of the Grip, and we predict for hiru
success.
Mr. W. T. Johns, our tffieieut aud
watchful policeman, is a terror of
evil doers. Mr. Johns is also fore
man of the street force and is doing
some of the best wo.?k on the streets
ihat has ever been dene here.
Mr. H. P. Bouknight made a fly
ing trip to Saluda recently.
Wanted?By a widower, with no
gout, aud some cash, the acquaint
ance of a maid or widow of question
able age, in the same notion as himself.
Our progressive mill men, Messrs.
Oscer & Birr, will soon commence
the erection of a fine roller flour mill.
Mr. J. D. Shealy has moved hi*
plauer in town and is prepared to
furnish dressed lumber on shortest
notice.
Some of our anglers have commenced
hunting up their old tackle
preparatory to a raid on the finn)
tribe.
The patients and many patrons of
Dr. D. M. Crosson will note that he will
be absent for 3 or -A days this week,
in attendance upon the State Medi
cal Association, which meet3 at
Harris' Lithia Springs. The Doctor
stands high in the medical profession
as well as in every other rank, and
will report some interesting chemical
and surgical cases, and read some
able papers at this association.
The health of our community is
excellent. Sol.
If 1 w I and when that time comes
I) if J it is a woman's duty to
/ J J ft ' think twice before she
J / \ l answers. She should
\ / \ \ think once for herself,
^ and once for the man who
has chosen her for his life companion.
If she is suffer ins: from a torturing:, dragging:
weakness or disease so prevalent with
her sex, she has no right to answer "Yes"
until her health is restored. If she dors,
she will be wretched and ill herself and her
home will be an unhappy one. Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is a scientific remedy
that cures all weakness, disease, disorder
and derangement of the delicate and important
feminine organs. It is not a " cureall/'
but a medicine devised to correct this
one class of disorders and no other. It
has accomplished its purpose in tens of
thousands of cases, as is shown by tens of
thousands of testimonials of the grateful
patients themselves. It imparts vigor and
virility to the entire womanly organism,
and is the best of all nerve tonics and restoratives.
It fits for wifehood and motherhood.
It transforms weak, nervous, despondent
invalids into healthy, happy
women. - *
" I was so weak I could scarcely walk about
the house," writes Mrs. Mattie' Scruggs, of
Allen's Creek. Amherst Co.. Va. " Was reduced
to a mere skeleton. I was never free from pain
in the back and head and could not sleep at
night. I bought three bottles of Dr. Pierce's
Favofitc Prescription and (".olden Medical Discovery'
an:' two vials of "Pleasant Pellets.' After
taking these six weeks I felt like a new person :
slept well and gained in flesh. I am doing all"
my own housework and we have nine in the
family."

constipation suffers from slow
poisoning. I)r. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets cure constipation. One
little "Pellet" is a gentle laxa-^
tive. and two a mild cathartic.'

The Eural Mail Delivery.
The Atlanta Constitution, one of
he most progressive and widely emulated
papers in the United States
las the following strong article on
Representative Stokes' work: We
ire glad to observe that the matter
Rural Delivery has been taken up
ery actively by Congressman Stokes,
if South Carolina, who has introluced
a measure in the House to
xtend free delivery of mail along the
tar routes. Uader the provisions of
he Stdkes bill, any person desiring
lis mail deposited along the line of
ny star route shall erect a box as
onvenient to the roadside as prac
icable and file with the nearest postaaster
on each side of the box a re[uest
in writing for the delivery of
lis mail to the proper carrier for de;osit
in the mail box.
The boxes along the star routes
re to be numbered consecutively be,inning
from the initial point of the
tar route. With the view of ultioately
bringing the mail thus de>osited
under the protection of the
jeneral postal laws until received by
he person to whom it is sent, or by
lis agent, the postmaster general is
.uthorized to invite submission of
>lans and devices for special boxes
,Dd duplicate keys for the use of the
arriers and addresses, respectively.
The Stokes bill provides that all
ontracts for carrying mail on star
outes made after the passage of the
ct, shall include the deposit in the
roper boxes placed along the line of 1
be routes for this purpose without
harge to the addresses, any mail
jatter that may be entrusted to the
arriers for such distribution by any
ostmaster on the route: and it is .
jade the duties of the carriers to
ike up such mail matter as they
my find in the mail boxes, and deosit
the same for mailing at the i
est post office on their route.
The bill also makes it the duty of <
icb postmaster, on receipt of a writ- <
?n order from auy person living on
r near an established star route, to
deliver to the proper carrier for tba:
route and mail matin*, with instructions
as to the proper mnil box ii.
which the matter is to be deposited.
Such ia the measure1, at once brief
and simple, by means of which it is
intended to establish free rural de
livery. The Constitution hopes the
bill will pass. If our readers in the
agricultural districts will write to
their representatives in Congress and
I urge them to support the measure
j there will be small difficulty iu urg
j its passage.
It is our boast that under our laws
all citizens are equal. You will hear
orators declaiming of equality uudei
the law, and yet while people iu the
country have to trawl miles to the
nearest po*-t office to get their mail.
the postal authorities aic engaged id
erecting a cosily pneumatic system
in the city of New Yolk in order to
save fifteen or twenty minutes in tbt
delivery of mail. It is true that a
community in the nature of thing*
will enjoy larger and more complete
postal facilities than a remote and
scattered settlement-, but we are
speakiDg now of equality under tie
law and the rights of individuals.
But this difference i3 most clearly
recognized in the demand for free
rural delivery. The people are . not
asking for pneumatic tubes nor foi
any device that will place additional
burdens on the lax payers. The
Stokes bill simply calls for a system
of cheap boxes to be affixed to trees
nr nests alone the nost roads covered
C O JL
by the star route system. These
carrieis have to go along these routes
anyhow, and it wiil haidly be an)
trouble for them to deposit mail and
take up that t\hich they find. When
the bill becomes a law star route
bidders will be put on notice by its
terms of this addition to their duties
as contractors, and they will taktcare
of themselves in the matter of
compensation.
The history of every increase ol
mail facilities in this country since
its establishment shows that tbeii
increased cost is invariably eff^et by
increased revenue. This is the history
of the reduction of letter postage
from 3 to 2 cents. It was freely
predicted that it would result in at*
enormous deficit; the result, however,
was an increase of revenue. When
free city delivery was established the
same prediction was made, but the
revenue has steadily increased. It
was never intended, in the first place,
that our postal system should be a
money making business. It was
established for the benefit of the pco
pie, and not to pay revenue into. th*
treasury. That it is self6ustaining
is very gratifying, but the people
would demand it and be compelled
to have it, even if it were not self
sustaining.

Notes from Steadman.
Tn thp Tvlitnr r>f I hp Diftrtatoh:
~ w r
News is very scarce
About the worst thing we have in
this favored country is cold.
One of Steadmans promising boys,
Mr. A. B. Q lattlebaum, has been
quite sick. He sustained an 'njury
from lifting too much, I am glad to
say that be is on the road to recovery.
The farmers are far behind with
their planting.
The new railroad has been doing a
good business hauling guauo and
other supplies incident to the planting
season.
We understand that the two
daughters of Mr. W.L. Quattlebaum,
who have been staying in Yoi kville,
will return home od the fourth
Thursday in April.
Messrs. A. B Quattlebaum & Bro,
have about got their still ready for
work.
Mr. L. Quattlebaum has purchased
a lot in the new, but growing town
of Steadman.
Much success to the Dispatch and
the best wishes for prosperity, health
and happiness of its editor.
