The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. (1. M. HARMAX. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., W?1 NESDAY, MAY 17, 1S99. Riots hive broken out in several Cuban towns. There is great dissatisfaction and much unrest among 1 the Cubans on account of the i demand of the United States government that the Cubans should lay down their arms and turn them over . ? .> to the representatives or t-uisgoveru ment before the $3,000,000 advanced j to start the Cubans in their peaceful j pursuits, and ths manner in which it | is proposed to divide that money. Gen. Gomez has washed his bands of the whole business and the Cuban leaders will have nothing to do with th8 unclean thing, refusing to sell the honor of their country and betray the confidence of its people for a mess of pottage. The enlisted men of the Cuban army will now be given the alternative of peacefully 1 Avmo Q mOfcHv jayiug UUWLl IUC1I aiuio t*uv? uiwv?.v I accept the ?75 each, or be forcibly j disarmed. Then will the fun begin and the United Slates will realize that she will have another war on her hand in which to shed glory and honor on the American arms by shooting down a helpless people in the name of humanity and Christian j civilization. Engineer Bell, of the Florida, Cen- | tral and Peninsular Rrilroad, who was in the fearful wreck on that road at Swansea, in this county, about a year and a Lulf ago, met with a tragic and mysterious death last wock while on his run between Columbia aud Savannah. Ed. Washington, the fireman, discovered him shortly before reaching Still well with bis head hanging out of hie cab window and thinking him asleep, sounded the station whistle. Upon a closer examination he found that the engineer was dead with an ugly wouDd in the left side of his head. He stopped the train and notified the conductor of what he had found. The fireman was arrested and upon reaching Savannhb, was turned over to the Coroner. After making a statement to this official he was released. The theory is that Engineer "Roll woe atm^k bv a water tank about ten miles above the point where it was first discovered that he was dead. British, German and French subjects residing in Cuba have notified the government that they will ultimately press claims against the United States aggregating into the millions of dollars for damage to property alleged to have been sustained duriDg the recent insurrection on that island. Before the Republican party gets rid of the elephant it now has on its hands it will find that it does not pay to neldl 3 wiih things that does not concern it whether it is done for humanitarian sake or to make political capital. Lieutenant C B. Smith, a well known member of the editorial staff of the Columbia State, who inlisted and saw service in Cuba with the Second South Carolina regiment, baa been appointed to a lieutenancy iu the regolar army and assigned to the 8ih ; infantry now stationed at Havana. j He has been ordered to report to the | Commanding General, Department ! of the East, at Governor's island, ! New York, for temporary duty, and ; on the completion of which he will j j jin his regiment. The former Soanish cruiser Reina ! Mercedes which was sunk in the j' . - - - e o ! i channel at tnc entrance 01 oiuua?u : harbor as a meaDs of barring it to i tbe American warship?, has sailed ! from Santiago for the Norfolk navy ! yards. This is the first captured I Spanish vessel that it has been able to put in a seagoing condition. i i 11 The Virginia Democrats have dc- ;, c'ared in favor of electing United | States Senators by the people and ' have asked for the primary system ', of nominating all State and couDty officers. Tbe South Carolina plan is preferred. j Ij Chicago millionaires are too proud j to admit tbat they prefer oleomar- |: garine to good old lime honest but- j ter, but they do all the same, accord- 1 iog to a witness before the pure food investigating committee last week. In Montreal the people are'prayiDg i to have a plague of caterpillers re- 1 moved, while we in LexiDgton are pestered by swarms of flies from j which we pray u:he good Lord de- ! liv.r us." t A doctor, three cf his children ard |' a negro housekeeper were burned to j death at DaltoD, Gr., on May 10tb, by the explosion cf a kerosene lamp. 1 A negro preacher dies and two others are made very sick by drink- j ing poisoned buttermilk at Buena \, Yhta, Ctx, last week. The N ews and C/Uiior deserves the thanks <-f the pHuple of th* entire South for its enfetpiise in g?*ttiDg out such admirable editions during the C mfedrate re union in Charleston. It must have cost a considerable expenditure of brains and capital to accomplish so great an undertaking, and to do it in such a com plete and successful manner. The series should be preserved as cherish ed souvenirs of a great and hallowed occasion. The scries can be gotten from the News and Courier as long as the supply lasts at 25 cents. A. report has gone abroad thai G jn. Joe Wheeler was snubbed in Cbailes ton by the management of the Con- < federate re-union. He did not appear in the parade because there was a misunderstanding. Tfce carriage was sent to the Charleston Hotel, the place appointed for bim to take it, while he waited for the conveyance at the residence of Moj. Brawley. It was only one of those unfortunate mistakes that occur on every ccca sion of a public nature. A sensational repoit was sent all over the country list Sunday that ex President Grover Cleveland had died while away from home ou a camp huDt on Like Huron. The report proved to be a fake sent out probably by some peony a liner a ho wanted to create a sensation to sell his production. Reports have it that Aguinaldc, the Filipino leader has skipped by the light of the moon and Lis where abouts cannot be discovered. The last beard from Lira was on April 20tb, when be was taking leg bail from Luzon iu a carriage. Private Secretary Evans, wbo has just returned from tbo bedside of tLe i-ick Chief Executive, reports that Gov. Ellerbe is doing well and is taking groat interest in the election of an eight room dwelling on the place. The Jane term of court for Kershaw county will convene on the 5tb. Crawford the constable, who is charged with killing Mrs. Stuart, in Columbia, will be tried. There are about thirty witnesses in this case. The cotton report to the Agiicultural department at Washington show a reduction in the cotton acreage from 8 to 18 per cent, in all the cotton States. All the railroads are competing to haul Admiral Dewey across the continent on his arrival in this country. Rear-Admiral Watson has sailed from Mare Island on the city of PekiD, to relieve Admiral Dewey. Ex Governor Flowers of Ntw York, died suddenly last week from acute indigestion. Three regiments of volunteers have been mustered out of service. Happenings at Swansea, A correspondent under date o? May 14, writes to the Columbia State as follows: The small graiu crop9 are needing rain badly and if that need is not soon supplied the yield will be small. Corn and cotton, while their growth seems somewhat impeded, have a good color and are standing the drouth exceedingly well. Gardens are the worst fuflVrers. The hot, dry weather, cool nights and bugs and worms all together have in some places almost totally destroyed gardens. Mr. Frtd Huffman, a farmer, three miles below here, lost by hie a few nights ago his dwelling and ail ' contents including about To bushels ' of rough rice and four sack? fertil- ' izer. It was the act cf an inceadi- 1 ary. i Ou last Thursday at noonday, 1 while Mr. J. L. Jumper and others ! were sitting under the shade of a tree in his yard fire bicke out in J be i ton of his buggv house, nnickly con- 1 suming it with the wagon shed and i contents near by. Mr. C. S. Hoof's store was broken into Thursday night and some goods, consisting of shirts, hats, cakes and jewelry, were taken away. There were two tramps around he store that night and it is supposed they are the robbers. Tceir names, where they came frcm or where they went no one here knows. Mr. H H. Goodwin is erecting quite a large store and dwelling combined, to be occupied by our fellow townsman and merchant, Mr. -James E. Gantt. The Baptist Sunday school convention has been in session here for three days, which was dnilv attended by large crowds. Rev. X. X Burton, formerly of Batesburg but now of Marlboro, was in at'endance. Miss Minoie Hagler of Cameron, S. C, is visiting relatives here. Mrs. W. H. F Hast, who has been cn a visit to her parents in Colleton I county, has returned home. i There will be an election here on tbc tf Jin inst, lor mtcnaan: una iour wardens. W. T. Brcoker, candidite for State Sena'e, seems to he on the hustle, ; while W. Id. F. Rast, his opponent heie, seems unconcerned. With two ith r opponents. Dr. D. M. Ciosson J and Wesley Hatsey, the campaign ' prorahes to be entertaining. m ^ In military prisons an offender is sometimes st-nit need to carry cannon ball- front one place to another and pile them up ail daylong:. That i? all. Perhaps it does not seem very terrible but it soon wears his life out. It is practically a death sentence, at:d he knows it: he would rather be shot. Many a sick man feels the same way about the burden of disease that he is lugging back and forth from day to day. He would as soon be down with a mortal disease. It ,wiil vome to tiiat sooner or later. A mail's life can be dragged out by dyspepsia and liver complaint. The experience of Mr. J. T. Cardwell, of Tall Creek Depot. Pittsylvania Co.. Ya.. shows Imnr I!r Vii.m'*. ?tr>1<1i-n Di^sov cry saves people from consumption by waking up their nutritive organism and giving it power to supply pure, healthy blood, which drives out blood poisons and dead tissues and builds up sound, wholesome flesh and muscle. " I f.-el it my duty." writes Mr. Card well in r. letter to Dr. pierce! "to write you of the lasting benefits derived from the u..e of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and little ' Pellets.' Seven years ago I coutfacted a severe cold, which baffled the skiil of one of the be>t physicians in my State. It ran on and I continually grew worse until I concluded to write to the "World's Dispensary Medical Association.' The answer to my inquiry advised me to use 'Golden Medical Discovery* and ' Pellets-'- for indigestion and liver complaint: at this time two months ha? pa=-eu. In two or three days after I had commenced the use of your medicine my cough had entirely stopped, my digestion was beticr. mv low spirits driven away and I felt new life and vigor m :ny whole body." This marvelous " Discovery'' makes nerve force and rugged power. It is far better than oily emulsions; it does not make flabby fat. il does not increase the weight of corpulent people. The Veterans' Re-uni:n. Compil-.d from the (rreeuville JlomUiiiueer. The annual re-union of the United Confederate Veterans was opened in Charleston last Wednesday ruoruiDg, before a packed audience of some seven or eight thousand persons. Just before the audience was call ed to order General Moorman met General Gardon on the stage and threw Lis arms about his neck and ail but kissed him. General Gordon was escorted to the presiding chair by General Moorman, chief of staff, and General C. I. Walker, commanding the South Carolina division. Hon. F. B Gary, speaker of the South Cirolina bouse of representatives, read a resolution of welcome from the general assembly. Governor Ellerbe wired he could not at tend the reunion on account of ill ness. His telegram of regret was read by General Walker. In the absence of LhrtJovemor the address of welcome was delivered on behalf of the State by Lieutenant Governor M. B. McSweeney. Major J. Adger Smythe delivered an enthusiastic address of welcome on the part of the city. Gen. John B. Gordon, commanderin-chief of the United Confederates was then introduced and spoke as follows: After a glowing eulogy of South Carolina and Charleston, Gen. Gordon said: ' No resolutions, I repeat Commoni f o lr.cinnr wolpnmp WfUlll-l CAICUU3 no lUiiUg Viwuuo were needed to assure these remnants of the Soulh's immortal armies tbat the 'freedom of the State' was theirs, aud that every heart within her borders was a soldier's shtine. We had but to remember that South Carolina was the nursery of heroes, as well as of statesmen and of patriots?that no one State, except that she be endowed with an almost boundless affluence of greatness, could in one century have given to the cause of liberty and the republic such a splendid galaxy as South Carolina presents in her Ratledge, her Sumter, her Moultrie, her Mid dlelou, and her M irion: in her Butler, her Tinckney, and her Pickens; in her MeDutlie aud her Calhouo; in her Hamilton, her Hayne, and her beloved Hampton. Gen. Gordon presented Mrs Stone wall Jackson, and iu the lull of the enthusiasm, said: UI will shake her hands for you all, an 1 in an instant he ad led, "uo, I will do more than tha'; I am going to hug herfjryou," rod with that ho did what he said he 1 was going to do, which met the ; hearty approval of the vast throng. 1 Gen. Stephn D. Lee's resolutions u the interest of fraternal feelings 1 were introduced and referred to the i committee on resolutions. The parade cf the veterans occur- 1 red in the afleruooD, and they marched through a dense crowd of ' heering people. Led by Gens. Gor.lon and Wade Hampton, a long line ;f the grizzled men who had followed these leaders and the other captains ! 31 the Confederate armies through 1 four years cf hardship and battle, 5 marched sturdily under the blazing southern sun to the inspiring strains of "Dixie," of the ''Bonnie Blue Flag" ' md the iire-levant but irrepresable 'There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.*' At intervals along the line the fluttering of a war-worn md shot-torn b it tie fl g called forth fheers, while many heads werebired is the frayed emblem of a dead cause gleamed over some organization whose name is a Louse-Loid word in the South. Generals Hampton and Gordon were cheered. There was Ms-appointment that Gen. Wheeler < ivas not iu the parade. Including the kindred organizations and distinguish*d guests and com 1 ait tecs there were probably 5,000 persons iu the liue, probably 3,000 of 1 them veterans. < The presentation of Stnte banners I to Arj'ilant Gcrieiul Moorman in tbe ewning was an intiesling occasion. Xeaily every State gave a banner. Tbe reception to tbe sponsors was held at this session. The sons rf Veterans held their opening meeting in tbe evening South Carolina is prominent in this organization in every way, having bfry of the 140 camps in existence. Wb<n a negro brass bar d struck up Dixie in tbe convention h-li before tbe (Xtrcises began tbe delegates rose, stood on the chairs and 3e-lled as only Southern men can yell. Mr. Walter T. Colquitt, of Atlanta, Gi, was elected C >mmaLdti iuChief of the Sods of Veterans. Tbe reception of tbe United States cruiser, R tleigb. beginning at 11 a. in , was cordial and animated. Tbe Rtltigb was one of tbe main reliances of Djwe\'s fleet in tbe bii! liant victory at Manila a year ago, and is coirimauded by a noted olli jer, Capt. Joseph B. Coghlan. The cruiser was decked with flags and signal colors and made an imposing sight moving across the bsy. The naval reserve tired the welcome salute. Mayor pro tem Zimmerman Davi3 extended the official welcome. The officers of the vessel were received at a 1 o'clock lunch, at which Capt. Coghlau, Ma} or Smythe and Chairman Slukler made speeches The K deigh anchored at a convenient point and thousands boarded the gallant cruiser.

Map Wm M Rabbins, the Confederate member cf the Gettysburg National Park commission and excongressman from Louisiana, effhred the following resolution, which was referred to the committee on re3ola tions: "Whereas, the government of the Uuitei States has undertaken and is rushing forward the work of permanently marking the lines and positions of the troops of boih the contending armic-s on several great battlefieldi of the Civil war, amorg them Gettysburg, Cbickarnauga, Shilob, Vicksburg and others, with j the dtsi?n of rnakinj? these battle- I Q ? 0 fields permanent memorials cf the prowess of American soldiers without respect of section; Resolved, That we, as Cor.federate veterans, sympathize with and commend this patriotic purpose of the . government and will lend our ir lluence and aid towards its full realiza i lion.
