Conquest of the Philippines Will Require a Big Army. New York, April 20.?Mr. T. W. The Lexington Dispatch. Representatice Jleujspaper. Goners Lexington and the Borders of the Surrounding Counties Like a Blanket. VOL. XXIX. LEXIXGTOX, S. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20. 1S99. NO. 24 McFprlane, a member of the famous Astor Battery, of New York city, which recently performed such valient military service in the Philippines, relates some interesting information regarding the situation in those islands. "The American forces in the Philippines now number about 23,000," said Mr. McFarlane; "out, in my - opinion, it will take at least 100,000 or more to subdue the Filipinos and hold the island's until final peace is . - brought about and business is restored to its normal condition. "With the present American force there it will be an impossibility to defeat the Filipinos. The reason of - tis-is that the insurgents have entirely too much territory in their < rear to fall back upoD when pursued by the Americans, the latter not having a sufficient force to leave behind to garrison tbe ground gained. There are at least 700,00.) native fighting men on the inland of Luzon. With this force it can easily be seen that while the Filipinos are beiog pursued they can dispatch a large por ti >n of tfceir troops to the rear of the Americans to attack the small forces of our men left to guard the captured territory. The Americans must in crease their forces. Unless they do so they cannot advance much further, and the result will b9 that the war will soon be temporarily suspended. "After the Filipinos have been subdued there will be great opportunity for the investment of American capital in tbe islands. Money can be ventured in all the various business occupations in the island with whal, I believe, will be great profit. There will be absolutely no chance for the American laborer there, however, for the reason that Filipino workingmen can be hired for 10 and 12 cents a day." Sis Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E Lilly, a prominet citizen of HanDibai, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: ''I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My luDgs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon ^ie of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.

In Thatcher's Military Journal, under date of December 1777, is found a note containing the identical "fire t prayer in Congress" made by the Rev. Jacob Dutche, a gentleman of great eloquence. Here it is, a histcr ical curiosity: "0 Lord, our Heavenly Father, high and miehtv, King of Kings, and Lord ^ of Lords, who dost from Thy throne behold all the dwellers on the earth, and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all kingdoms, empires and governments, look down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor, and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only on Thee; to Thee they have appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that counte* nance and suppor which Thou alone canst give; take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under thy nurtuiDg care; give them wisdom in counsel and valor in field; defeat the mali c'ojs designs of our cruel adversaries convince them of the unrigh'eousness of their cause: and if they still persL-t in their sanguinary purposes, O, the voice of Thy unerriDg justice, soundiDg in their hearts, constrain them to dr< p the weapons of war from the r un jerved hands in the day of battle. Be Thou present, God of wisdom, aid direct the counsels of this honoris able assembl}; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation, that the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish I amongst the people.

There was once a worthy Presby- j . - ... , L-t _ I terian minister, wno, wnue sitting m his study, was interrupted by a small boy who had by some way or other gained admission, to sell the good man some young pups. UI don't want any dogs, my boy," said the divine. "But they are Presbyterian pups," persisted the youngster. The old gentleman, however, would not have them and the disappointed boy withdrew. Som9 days afterward while visiting a friend, who was a Universalist, the minister was astonished to see the same boy come in and * offer to sell bis friend some pups. "Good Universalist pups," said the chap. This was too much for the Dominie, who said to the'boy: "Are you not the same boy that tried to sell me these pups the other day?" "Yes, sir." "And did you not tell me then that they were Presbyterian pups?" "Yes, sir." "Then how can they be Universalist pups, now?" "Because they have had their eyes opened since then," said the little chap. It is needless to add that ne sold the pups. Greater BrooklancL Our Ambitious Suburb to Extend Its Limits. Colombia Daily Record. The town of Brookland is growing rapidly and is ambitious. It wants to include within the corporate limits the surrounding country which will materially increase its population. It is said to be about 1,100 now, but whea the annexed district comes in it will be about 1,500. A meeting was held Thursday nigbt for the purpose of taking the necessary steps to extend the limits. The following committee was appointed to prescribe the lines and take the necessary legal steps to acquire the new territory: W. H. I Witt, W. D. Dent, W. T. Floyd, J. C. Kirby, Rev. E. L. Lybraud, E. E Haygood. Mr. Brooks Lybrand and W. D. Dent will begin to take a census of the town Friday. While thus extending its limits the people - ? n ) want better connections witn Columbia and they will see if the scheme of extending the electric railway to the town can soon be made a fact. A company has had a charter for the purpose for several years, but nothing has come of it so far. 2To Eight to TJgliaess.

Manila, April 19.?Admiral Dewey has been notified of tbe Btrange disappearance of Lieut. J. C. Gilmore and fourteen members of the crew of the United States gunboat Yorktown. On Saturday last the Yorktown anchored off Baler, on the east coast of tbe island of Luzon, and kbout 200 mli?fcoiD here, where there was a Spanish garrison of about 50 men which had been defending itself against several hundred Philippine insurgents for months past. Lieut. Gilmore's Ensign W. H. Handley and the boat's crew were sent up the river from Baler to communicate with the Spaniards, the town of Baler being situated some distance inland. Ensign Handley, who landed at the mouth of the river, reports that he heard three volleys, a bugal call and cheers from up the river, but that the automatic gun which was part of the equipment of the boat was not heard firing. Handley later paddled to the Yorktown in a cance. Search was made for the Yorktown's boat and her crew but no trace of them was found and the Yorktown sailed for Iloilofrom which place her commander cabled to Admiral Dewey. His theory is that the Filipinos had captured or sunk the boat or that the Spaniards had rescued the American party.

He has been in the drug business at Elkton, Ky., for twelve year's; has sold hundreds of bottles of this remedy and nearly all other cough medicines manufactured, which shows conclusively that Chamberlain's is the most satisfactory to the people, and is the best.

The Sinking Fund Commission has instructed Auditors and Sheriffs that in future all lands purchased on behalf of the Sinking Fund Commission must have the titles made out in the name of the commission. The reason for this is the practice which some officers have had of reselling land that they had bought for the commission to private parties before a record of the purchase has been made. In a case where a good piece of land has been bought in, the commission would like to have the disposal of it themselves. Liquor Coustables Discharged. Columbia Evening Record, April 20.

There was a quiet parlor wedding at the u i hnnsfi of ft nhvfiioian?a well known ? v r~~J " ? j doctor, and about 20 friends were ! present to witness the ceremony. j The bride was the physician's 18year-old daughter, and the groom 0 was the son of a Brooklyn brewer. There was to be a honeymoon trip C( after the marriage, and the mother of the bride, with true maternal foresight, had put a French traveling clock in her daughter's pocket, j I I It was a little bit of a clock. Some j ej how it got wound up wrong.

It is with a sad heait that we chronicle the death of Charles David, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wade Weed, which occurred at their home near Irmo, S. C, March 20, ult. Cuarlty was 20 years of age. Being in the prime of young manhood, he was a source of great comfort to his pcrents. Just two months ago we laid to rest, Mamie, the only sister of tl e deceased. He was ill four weeks with typhoid fever. In his last days he was a sufferer, but he bore his sickness as a true child of God. '*He knew whom he had believed and was pursuadedthat He was able to keep that which he had committed to Him against that day." March the 21st we laid all that was mortal of him to rest in the Union cemeterv to await the resurrection morn. His sun is set, hi3 race though short is ended, the warfare is fought, the victory achieved, the conflict gained and he has received a crown of righteousness that shall never fade away.
