The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1899. Charleston is now in her grandest glory and the hearts and homes of the proverbial hospitable people of the "City by the Sea" are wide open today and every one is trying to outdo his neighbor in his attention to the veterans and visitors. Never before - ? /vf tVhA rvvoaM /?!tv ill tut) U191U1J Ui tuc giauu V/'U v?ij has such brilliant scenes been w itnessed within her borders, and never has their hospitality been taxed as it is on this occasion, but she and her generous citizens have proven to be equal to meet any demand made, no matter how great it may be. It is claimed, and no doubt justly so, that the Ninth Re-union is the largest in point of numbers ever held. The city is filled with veterans and visitors and immense crowds aro arriving on excursion trains every hour. The city is gaily decorated in buntings, flags and festoons and the nights are made as brilliant as tbe glare of an unobstructed noonday sun with jets of electric lights which flash from a thousand different places The re-union proper does not com mence until today, but the ceremony of the dedication of the auditorium took place last night when the Rebel yell from seven thousand throats broke the stillness of the evening air in unrestrained welcome of Gen. Wade Hampton, the grand old veteran, when the idol of a loving people was introduced. We congratulate Charleston in this, the hour of her grandest triumph and mostresplend. ent glory. * It is now claimed that Agumaldo the Filipino insurgent leader is an Irishman. The authority for the statement is Peter Scanlan, of the U0uld Sod" and Jersey City. Scanlan says Aguinaldo's real name is O'Gormeley, and that his father was a native of Tralee, County Kerry, and went to Japan, where he married a wealthy native woman. Thence he removed to Manila and went into the grocery business. Mr. Scanlan is said to have a reputation for veracity and wide acquaintance with Itish facts. He is not proud of Aguinaldo as a son of the Green Isle.?Record. . The State says that Secretary Alger contrasts the hardships of eating bad beef in the recent war with the experience of the civil war soldiers who sometimes, had to go without beef. The Secretary thinks bad beef better than no beef at all, but when good beef can be had most people will prefer it to either of the other two diets. That is the point. Since the operation of the new rules the directors of the State peni tentiary are able to keep up with the business of the institution more satisfactorily. The chairman rays the penitentiary is out of debt, contractors are paying up promptly every month and all things are moving along splendidly. r Rear-Admiral "Watson has been , ordered to Manila to succeed Ad miral Dewey. The grand old hero has arranged to visit his native country, but will not, however, leave his post of duty in the far East until peace has been restored. Teddy Roosevelt rushed up a hill at Santiago to colonelcy but Freddy T-?> J- him Ann KoHor on/1 X UUStUU YTCill LllJLU V/UU WV t VVI. l*wv? swam across a river in the Philippines to a brigadier generalship, so says the State. We are glad to learn that Governor ' Ellerbe has greatly improved since his removal to his home in Marion. He is riding around visiting friends and neighbors. While on her way to Charleston, the United States cruiser Raleigh was grounded on the south jetty leading to that city last Monday. She received no damage. The attorneys for Col. Neal state that he is prepared to settle with the State. Porto Pico's New Governor. a. t> l- -d: o San 'Juan ae x~ueriu xvicu, jihj o.? Brig. Gen. George W. Davie, whc has been appointed to succeed Maj Gen. Guy V. Henry, as military gov ernor of Puerto Rico, arrived here to day on board the United States transport McPherson. He was wel corned by the insular secretaries anc officials of Puerto Rico and San Juan This afternoon Gen. Henry and Gen Davis were given a reception at th< theatre by the school children of Sar Juan. There is much curiosity as to tb< policy that will be adopted by Gen Davis. Puerto Ricans generally dis play much regret at the departure o Gen. Henry. Matters here are in ex cellent condition for the new military governor, harmony prevailing gen erally. Maj. Gen. Henry will sai for the United States tomorrow. Swansea Doings. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The small gtain crop is the largest and is still the most promising in the memory of the people. H. R. G odwin is up to date and is putting iii French stones and a smut ter to meet the demand for home made bread. Mr. Jas J. Smith, once the faithful School Commissioner of this county, is doing the work for Mr. Goodwin. Mr. Smith is a first < class mechanic and the mill will run I 4?r?trvcif nrrand v Tliiw mill and the UiVOU ^tUUUi JLUtM ?? _ one now open by Dai ling Huckabaa five miles east of Swansea gives our tanners un easy chance for getting their wheat manufactured into first class fiour. Weather is a little dry and cotton plautiug still continues with a lush. William E. Bails has completed his blacksmith bhop and is icady to do first class work and has convinced his customers that ho will take pay in such things as they have for bale and at good living prices. This is a step in the light direction and is just aud fair to all parties. Willie is a Lexington born and raised man and says he expects to live, thrive, die and be buried in the mother land. Evangelist Tillman has been here and pleached three sermons in the Methodist church to incieasing audi ences, but on Sunday was summoned Jo Alabama to the bedside of a sister who is critically ill. On Sunday night bis place was filled by the Presiding Elder, H. Bascoinb Biowne. His seiinon fully suht*ioed his reputation (lie uvi v> I)r. A C L ingford has been speed iug scv(ral days bere with bis son, Dr. John II. Ltngford. Dr. Largford is a genial, afftble South C;ro liua gentleman. He was once a Lexington man and, like the rest of her sons, has conferred great credit on his anther county wherever he has gone Captain Fr? nk Harman, from the Lexington section, is visiting his son, F. Brooks Harman, of this place, He is a Christian gentleman of a high order and is well known hereby maoy of those who once wore the gray and had many opportunities of witnessJ ing his fidelity as a soldier. They who once eo honored the gray j icket are passing slowly but surely over the river to those eternal bivouacs where the war cry is heard no more j and where no bugle blast will call those gallaDt legions to conflict again, ! where there will be no Union, no j Confederate flags and where no ' Yankee nor Rebel soldiers" will -assemble. I The people of Swansea are preparing to entertain the Baptist county | Sunday school convention on Friday J before the second Sunday in May. A I large roll of delegates are expected j and the citizens are leady with outI -y.? '.U ? ?v\ o 4 /-v oil /I o 1 M_ i Sll I'll LlCU aiUiC 11/ ntnuiuv u? ?V.V i gates aud visitors. ? A tborougLbrcd Chester White sow has been added to the stock of the neighborhood, and an "all steel" wagon with tires four inches wide | and w heels 84 and 40 inches high has been added to the vehicles of the fami6. It is a model of neatness, being lower is veiy convenient for loading and unloading. The broad tire is a ceitaintv of the future and _ its intioduction will do more for good loads than all the debates and resolutions of all the "Road Cjij| gresses" that ever asse inbled. Any ! farmer who will try one will soon arj raign himself as a criminal for pull j ing his poor mules and horses over ! ploughed ground on his fat ut hitched ! to an inch and a half tired wagon ! These wagons are all steel except J tongue, "coupling pole" and "double [ tired." The bolsters and bed pieces i are hollow aud the axles are ma le of piping. It is guaranteed to cany 5 000 pounds. The ideal wagon of ; the Western fanner is one with wheels 24 and 30 inches high aud tires six inches wide. But aDy height ; CUD L>e gOlieil. JLUCJ auj tur.-v | are farmer's bandy wagons and the i Yankee farmers will Lave no others. | The lower can be gotten for $22 f. o. b , all complete except body?the 34 ! ar.d 40 wheels for $25.95, all complete txcept body. The fi eight to Swansea is $7.26. Add about six or seven dollars to price and you have about the cost for anywhere in L< xington. If any one prefers wooden i bolsters and bed pieces he can get ? just such & wagon and at the same price as the oth< rs and wi h the same j width of tireR. Try OLe or buy a few bars of iron for tires and have jour blacksmith to widen your tires i at a small cost and be convinced that > ; j you are keeping up a wry unproliti able and foolish custom and at a very | costly price. The cffi -e holders are j I awfully afraid of their constituents i but the broader tire never fears to [ | meet the competition of a narrow ; one ary more than a broad minded | man fens one who runs on a narrow > i guage , I James E Gantt continues to buv 1 j largely of cross tics and Paul E 3 | Hutto has done a laige wood busi j ness for several wetks. News has been received that the f j post office here has be?-n grant* d the - ! right to take mo??*y orders of large j j proportions. Hentif?reit has been - } hunted to small* r amounts. For this 1 purpose Mrs. Coibitt will have to j enluige her bond an 1 the old bonds men willing to remain and sevtr*i 1 citizens well qualified have given their consent to go on her bond. James H. Spires, a wideawake ami progressive farmer near here, has purchased a feed mill to giind cotton seed, com and cobs for feeding purposes. Grinding feed for stock is a very paying business and the sooner our farmers find it out the better for them. their stock and their pockets. Frank Rucker, from Sandy Run, passed through Swansea on May 2d, with a large drove of cattle, bought mostly in Orangeburg. He was on his way to the fine river swamp pasture of Archie "Wolfe. He intends to fat ton itiom nn this fiue Bermuda nrass pasture and then sell them ou the market. Our farmers sell oil' their poor cattle now and sell their cotton seed to the oil mills at lt'l cents per bushel. For 100 bushels of seed they get ordinarily 812 50. One hundred bush els of cotton seed will fatten four or five heads of poor cattle aud increase their value 610 or 850, and the compost from theoO would be equal to any ton of the higher grade guanos, aud yet we cry "poor down trodden fanners " Sell for twelve and a half dollars what we can turn iuto seventy rive dollar?! Well, we can say down tredden farmer! If we will put self just lefore down aud make it "poor self down trodden firmer," it.comes mar the facts ot our cast! Mis. W. II F.

AAmv and knew at once that a leak had sprung in that great embankment which saves Holland from the devastations of the hungry sea. It was early in the night, and no one was near at hand. The leak was small when he found it. but he knew that the action of the water would enlarge it long before morning, and wash away the entire embankment, inundate the country and destroy his own and thousands of homes. So he bravely put his finger in the crevasse, and kept it there all the long night through, until help came and the opening was properly stopped. lie had saved his country. Kqually insignificant is the entrance of disease into the human system. The beginnings of the most terrible ailments are so small they can be easily stopped at the start. Your health is a dike which keeps o'.U and stops the inroads of dangerous and devastating disease. Whenever it breaks down, no matter how slightly, there is an opening for di-easc to enter. If the opening is not watched, it will grow larger, until the sweep of disease overwhelms you. and health and perhaps life is destroyed forever. Fortify your health with I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and you can defy ill health. You can make your health so strong a bulwark that disease cannot find a crevice through which it can creep. Taken in time. Dr. Pierce's remedies prevent greater and more serious troubles. Hundreds write daily to Dr. Pierce, tollingliim how these remedies have saved them and made them strong. Constipation causes and aggravates many serious diseases. It is speedily cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Niws from the Star.

Dispatch: As we never see anything from this section, I will attempt to give the readers of the Dispatch a few scattering dots, if they miss the waste basket. The farmers are about through plantiug except lowlands. The small grain is looking fine, and with a few more showers in time there will be a fiDe crop harvested. "What a blessing it will be on the farmers. Mr. Paul Hite has two very sick children with dysentery, but glad to sty under the skilllul treatment 01 i Dr. P. W. Hite, they are improving. Mr. A. L Hite has moved his mill and gin at the ford of the creek, near Mr. P. C. Moore's, knownas the J. M. Crim place, aud will grind corn, gin cotton and probably make molasses. Supervisor Koou came over and inspected the two bridges across the old run and the new creek of Big Hollow Creek, near Cedar Grove, and finding them to be in a dangerous condition, he called on Mr. C L. Metis to bring his force (chain gang) up. Capt. C. L. Metz being the right ruau at the right place, put his six men to woik, tore away the bridge over the old run which was about forty feet across, and filled in with timber and rock until he has completed a fine j >b and fixed the bridge across the new creek and graded dowD a very steep hill near the bridge All this was completed in eight days wi;h s'-x convicts, which work would have cost the county 815 ) or 82"0, had it been done with /.lit 1 ilt.w 1 i\ . t?.i Konn ulluji iciuui jl u n u uttu luiui ujv vi by the Cap'aiu of the gang the expenses would not exceed S2>.

Then come the aching: pains and tenderness, the i ; agonizing cramps, the fever and restlessness that characterize jj this disease. | When you feel the first slight pain, begin to take Dr. "Will- ? j iams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and the progress of the disease 2 will be arrested. Neglect this and you will regret it. Dr. Williams'Pink Pills || for Pale People are a j Positive and Permanent Cure for Rheumatism. This remedy expels impurities from the blood, and supplies the material ! for rapidly rebuilding wasted nerve tissues. It has performed hundreds of almost miraculous cures in severe cases of Rheumatism, many limes after j doctors had given up hope. Read this sworn statement: "In 18001 was taken with rheumatism, which began in my hips and ' gradually spread throughout my body. For two years and a halt I was confined to nty bed; employed nine of the best physicians i:i Albany, and-two specialists from New York city. They all declared my case hopeless, and finally told me that I had but six weeks to li\e. I told them to take their medicine away ; that if I were to die ' should ; take no rnoreof the stuff. My niece, who through her friends knew of the good results at rem!- ' ing theu6eof Dr.Williams Pink Fills for Pale People, strongly recom- : ineuded thetn. She procured the pills and l?y the time I had used the ' first box I felt hungry. Having hud no appetite for u lontr tune, i , i knew that the pills were doing tno good. I continued their u*e. and after taking mveral boxes waa able to leave my bed and go about w itli the use of crutches. I weighed but i:?tl pounds. As niv norma! weight Is about '240 pounds, you can see how run down 1 had become during my sickness. After tAking thirteen boxes of the pills I was weighed again, and although less than a year had passed I weighed .07 pounds. ; I continued the use of the pills and finally was able to abandon the crutches altogether, and am now as well as ever."
