The Lexington Dispatch a Burned Apiil 25th: rebuilt July ^ 19.1894. J (r. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. ^ / LEXINGTON, S. C., a WEI N-SDAY. JUNE 21. 1899. d We unintentionally emitted to j mention that State Superintendent j of Education J. J. McMahaD, was in f town on Friday cf last week, and c took part id the commencement ex- v ercises of the Lexington Classical g Institute. -5 Iq the afternoon he addressed the 6 teachers of the county in which he j t gave them much excellent advice. In brief he urged the necessity of centralizing and enlarging the e schools, lengthening the school term ( and the employment of better teach- J ers at higher salaries in order that c the best results might follow. He <3 spoke of the summer schools and c urged it as a duty the teachers owed p to the patrons, scholars and them- 8 selves to attend their sessions and 3 better equip themselves for a more p intelligent discharge of their duties. It was a plain, common sense talk, filled with practical ideas for the fc guidance and instruction of teachers. 1 In the evening at the court house, j, he addressed the tcholars of the Iu- ( stitute, which was replete with j. golden thoughts of the characters- j lies which would constitute the com- j, iDg man and woman, and to fall v below the model would bo doing an irreparable injury to those, who failed to come up to tho standard. ile urged each one of Ibo pupils to c strive to attain unto the high life ( developed by the light of progressive ^ intelligence and the requirements of g a more advanced state of mora! g and religions obligations. He ad- j vised the establishment of a Graded , School here, with a luuger school term and a full corps of touchers. Mr. McMuhan is a young man \ well qualified in every particular to t guide and direct the educational in- e terest of the State and already the a free school system has taken on a f new impetus which will make it more popular with the masses. r a "Work on the Columbia and Savan 1: nah extension of the Southern Rail ii - way was begun at Cayce's, in this f county, last week and we under- t stand, that the work will be pushed rapidly to completion. The comiDg of this road through the section of e our county it is proposed to traverse I means much to us. Aside from the a matter of the increase to the county F revenues which will arise from the v taxes on the railroad property, it will open up a country that has heretofore been considered backward in v the inarch of progress and whose 8 lands were of but little commercial 8 value because of its isolation and } lack of transportation facilities. 11 When this road is completed a n changed condition of things will bewitnessed there. Opportunities will be afforded for the investment of * capital; new industries will spring up and towns and hamlets will mark * the passing of years. There are now some eligible sites for opening business in that section . and no doubt those who know a good thiDg when they see it will . seize the opportunity and "strike ' while the iron is hot." The value of real estate will be enhanced and there will be such a era of prosperity ^ never dreamed of by the most san- . 15 guine inhabitants. We have reliable . & t< information that the road crosses ^ the Orangeburg dirt road, beyond the Dunbar road, on the Popell land: thence near Juhu Wises to j Cecil Crafts, through James C. rj Fort's land for three miles; thence n to the Howell and Ilartb s old land and to the right of Cedar creek to U ^ wpAti r\v\ ( a V.lieln \ . .1 I % iiaiocj o uu iuc iiutotv* nwv- j. withstanding these blessirgs which inevitably follow in the wake of these t forerunners, or advance agents, of Christian civilization, we find persons who are eternally croaking about j the graspings of these monopolies, when the facts are that there are not more liberal people than these rail- ^ reads; but they spend their money wisely and judiciously. There was a wholesale jail deliv- ^ ery at Florence on June 20'.h. Among a the escaped prisoners were two mur- ^ derers, one of whom was to have been hanged on July 7th. The es- $ cape seems to have been deliberately e nlanned and was successfully exe- Q JT - V KM cuted. Horace Brunson, a little ne- v gro thief, was the instrument used p in effectiog the escape. He was told ^ to carry the prisoners their dinner, s lock the doors and briDg back the j beys. He did as he was bid except 0 as to locking the doors, which he left closed but unlocked. At a time c when no one was in the jail but the E wife of the jiilor, the piisoners made a dash for liberty, jumped over the jail fence and made their escape into some woods near by. The alarm ! was given and pursuit was begun j ^ with blood hounds, but up to the last j accounts not one of thelleeing ciimi- j ^ nais have been recaptured. The firemen's tournament, which j is now in progress in Columbia, is a a big success. The city is filled with g visitois. n nHmHBHBBaisan It is alleged that a deal is now on ,nd will 900D be consumated. It is >roposed to consolid ite three great ailroad systems, namely, the Seaward Air Lice, the Georgia and Llabama and the Fioiida Central ,nd Peninsular Riilwav. The Fiorila Central and Peninsular runs from )jlumbia, through Savannah to acksoDville. The Seaboard Air jine is arranging to build a link o o rom Cheraw, to Columbia, thus ocnectiDg the Seaboard Air Line rith the Florida Central, thereby ecuring a through line from New fork to Jacksonville and making a trong combination to compete with he Southern Railway. List' Sunday Dr. Broughton, au minent Baptist divine of Atlanta, xa, denounced from his pulpit ames G. Woodward, Mayor of that lty, as a libertine and a sot ana leclared that if no member of the ity council made a motion for im>eacbment he, (the doctor) would do o himself as a private citizen. The lay or asked for a suspension of tublic opinion. The President has been imporuned to send Gen. Miles to the >hilippines to supercede Gen. Otis command of the American forces. Jen. Miles has the reputation of leing a great Indian tighter and the Ldministration now believe that this 3 the only style of campaign from rhich any UstiDg results are to be xpcctcd against the Filipinos. i Brrrow, the man who has been ouvicted tf kidnapping Baby Maiion Jlarke in New York, has been sen enced to fourteen years iu SiDg ling. The nurse, who turned itatv's evidence, received a four ears sentence. Mrs. Barrow has iot yet been tried. It seems that the purpose for 1 vhicb the young men are being sent o institutes of higher education low-a days is not to learn ait, science ,nd literature, but to graduate in oot ball, base ball and golf. Senator John McLaurin, delivered j , maguificent address before the iterary societies of Wofford College, n which he took a strong position in avor of expansion by this governoent. Governor McSweeney hasinstruc'd Dr. Evans of the State Board of lealtk to use all his power and nd means to stamp out the small- 1 ?ox epidemic at Batesburg and pre- i ent its spread.

Designing met:, through alluring and cunningly worded advertisements, constantly endeavor to work upon the feelings of stek and ailing women by inviting them "to write to a woman (!) and secure a woman's sympathy." It is weil to remember that the best sympathy is to had at home and not from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles distant. The object of the sici: i:- to get well, and however precious sympathy may be. it never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman. While the sympathy of your milliner or dressmaker might be appreciated and be just as beneficial, if not more so. than sympathy from a stranger, yet it can not effect you: cure if you arc an ailing woman. It i-i loudly proclaimed through the press that "a womarj can best understand a woman's ailments." and on this ground sick women are invited to *' write to a woman " and get the benefit of a woman's advice. The sort of "'understanding of her ailments" wanted *oy a sick woman is a trained medical understanding If a woman has this trained medical knowledge she understands woman's ailments n?( o\ a woman, but a* a i ptivfici'ist. i! ?ne i> nor a doctor sne cannot understand the ailments at all, and cannot treat them successfully, because she lacks the necessary training. As far as known. there is no regularly qnalified woman physician connected with any proprietary medicine especially designed for women?no one, therefore qualified by learning and experience, to advise on questions of disease and its cure. It is certain that there is no one, man or woman, connected with any "put-up" j medicine for women, excepting only Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who. like Dr. Pierce, i* a regular graduated and qualified physician, and who has, like him. devoted more than thirty years to the special study and treatment of diseases of women. For more than thirty years Dr. R. V. Pierce, a regularly graduated doctor, lias been chief consulting physician of the j Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Huffulo. X. V. On his staff are nearly a score of regularly graduated, experienced, skilled physicians, each of whom is a specialist in his chosen class of diseases. Kvcrv letter addressed to I)r. Pierce as above, has prompt, conscientious attention, is regarded as sacredly confidential and is answered in a plain envelope so your private affair- are kept safe from prying eyes. ? -? Fourth Infantry Fights All Day. One Jiittaiion Ambushed by St p posed Friendly N.ttives. Thirl v Killed nml Wounded?Gen. Wbeaton Fired Oa and Has Narrow Escape?Enemy Suffers Heavily From Artillery. Manila, June 11), 8:20 p. m ?A battalion of tho Fourth infantry which left Imus, where Gen. Wheaton is in command, this morning to reconnoitre towards Peres Das Mari nas, where it is believed most of the rebels who escaped from Paranaque and Bacoor bad fled, was attacked in the rear by apparently friendly natives. This brought on a sharp engagement, lasting several hours, resulting in five Americans being killed and about 25 being wounded. The loss of the rebels was very heavy. The battalion scon exhausted its ammunition, and at 2:30 this afternoon Gen. Wheaton and his staff, with the Second battalion, two mountain guns and one field piece, went to reinforce the troops attacked. Gen. Wheaton was fired on in a road and had a narrow escape. Later the Third battalion was ordered to the front and formed on the Las Marinas road. Heavy firing on both sides followed, the artillery being freely used. The enemy was located in the woods at 4 o'clock, showing signs of retiiiog, as the rebels were being pressed very hard. One gun of the Sixth artillery, in an advantageous position, did great execution. The filing was still in progress at 5 o'clock, at which time the Americans had secured a quantity of Filipino arms which had been abandoned in the woods. The scene of the fight is over 20 miles from Manila. REGULARS ARRIVE Manila, June 19, 10:45 a. m ?The United States transport Sherman, which sailed from San Francisco May 24 with 1,800 men and 75 officers, under command of Brig. Gen. Fred D. Grant, has arrived here j \fter a smooth voyage. One piivate j died after the transport's arrival. | The troops brought by the transport j will go to the Island of Xegros to relieve the California volunteers, j Gen.

PURSUED BEYOND DAS MARINAS Washington, June 20.?Gen.

Wheaton at Iinus, Cavite province, with four gun?, four battalions Fourth and Fourteenth infantry, ; Nevada troop cavah}: sent battalion j south on reconnoissance direction of ' Das Marinas yesterday morning, j where enemy reported concentrating j scattered forces; battalion encount- j ?red enemy's force of 2,000 march- | ing to attack Irnus, successfully im- j ceding its progress. Wtieaton with J iwoguns and battalions hurried for- j ward; repulsed tnemy with heavy I oss; enemy leaving over 100 on ! Held; our loss live killed and 23 j wounded. Wbeaton reinforced last right by battalion Ninth infantn: ! s driving enemy beyond Dim Mari na?, now in his possession. Casualties today not reported. AYheaton's qualities for bold and successful attack unsurpassed. AN EARLY MOVE ON PERES PAS MARINAS Manila, June 20, 9 a. m ?Gen. Wheaton's command has renewed the attack upon Peres das Marinas. E uly this morning they moved cn the town, bopiDg to reach there by noon unless very strong opposition was encountered. The latest list of American casua'ties in 3esterday's fighting shows that five were killed and 20 wounded. The list includes no efficets. The wounded were brought to Manila from Bacoor in cascoee. THE TOWN ABANDONED BY REBELS. Manila, June 20, 8 p. m.?The troops commanded by Gen. Wheaton entered Peres das Marinas today without opposition except upon the part of sruall bodies of rebels, who inflicted no losses upon the Americans. The town is an unimportant place surrounded by swamps and Gen. Wheaton will probably return to Iinus. MOIIRAI. WATSON TAKES CUMMAND. Manila, June 20, 8 p. m ?Rear Admiral John C. Watson arrived here today on the United States transport Zafiro from Hong Kong a d raised his flig on the United States cruiser Baltimore. The commanders of all the warships called upon the admiral duriug the course | of the day. j The Columbia State says the FiliI niuos are beffinniner to strike their | ET a ? j natural gait. Ambushes come easy I to such a race in 6uch acountrv, and they are likely to be very numerous from this time forward. Our greatest losses will be from such attacks and they will do more to sicken American trocp3 of the war than as many set battles. . Murrell's Home C:ming. Reception by Aged Parents "Was Sad.?Can't Explain How He Feels. Special to the State. Edgefield, June 15?YouDg Whitfield Murrell, who was yesterday pardoned by Governor McSweeney, reached here today. His health is shattered and he is almost a physical wreck. The pardon meets with the hearty approval of the people of the county, and the young man was congratulated on all sides upon his arrival. His aged parents were comp'etely overcome when he reached home, where in addition to bis father and mother, his sisters and brothers and friends had gathered to await his coming. For 10 long years he ha9 languished in prison steadfastly proclaiming his innocence. His co-defendant, William Carpenter, now in the penitentiary fir life has nla'aro plnimpri nn 1 sworn that Murrell had nothing whatever to do with the killing of young Yonce, and the jury who convicted him, realizing the terrible mistake they had made, signed the petition for Murrell's pardon. Whitfield Murrell left Edgefield June 15, 1889 for the penitentiary, a beardless boy of 1(>, curly black hair, handsome clear cut features adorned with a bright and expressive eye. On June 15.h, 1890, he returns, and few even of his closest friends recognized him, so great has been the change. When asked how he felt upon being set free, he replied with a tone of sadness, "God only knows. I can't describe it. No living mortal con desciibe it. Think of confinement in a tomb for 10 years; think of hell with its most revolting horrors, und then to be set free, to breathe fresh air, to hear the birds sinor spp the flowers blonm. tn be -?D w " again by the side of iny dear aged father and mother?their kindly voices to cheer me up instead of the clang of the iron door and tread cf the guaids to depress me. Think of these thiDgs and you may in a way imagine how I feel." Munell speaks in the highest terms of the present officials of the penitentiary: says they are ihe best that have been there since his" confinement. Dr. Pope, the form<r pbysican of the penitentiary, he commends in language that is indeed flittering. J. H. T. Secret of Beauty is health.

To the F.litor of the Di^p tcl: 1 Since my last we have had refrc sl - j ing rains and all feci better. 0 d | coin was vny much retardrd and ! gardens seiiously damaged, but cotton moved on in the ev; n tenor of its way and declined to be hurt. I fear the potato crop will be cut cfif, as plants could Dot be set and the late transplanting may not do as well as early ones. Business is fdiily good, the merchants and farmers are in much better spirits than before the rain. Our school exercises were very interesting and continued two evenings. The trustees have not as yet selected the teachers for next schol astic year. We look forward to a fine school, as there is plenty material here for one. The last one gave employment to four teachers and the prospects are brighter in the future. Railroad matters here ate progressing favorably. The Southerr, sir ce it acquired the Midland, has been putting in a track scale and contemplate bringing their southern business through here for the present. I presume you may have read in the papers of the smallpox ii this part of the county. A few cases cf the "eruptive disease'1 were found here. The Chairman of the State j Board of Health,Dr. Evanr,came and examined them. He pronounced two of them mild cases of smallpox, I and advised how to treat them and sent an officer of the State board here to look after |hem. They made a camp some distance from town *nd confined those who had been imme diately exposed and those afflict* d. Several have been discharged as well and after a sufficient length cf time the others will be released.

The youDg white man that has it is among a large family and no oDesuspicioned what was the matter for quite awhile and no other one in the house has taken it. They have all been isolated from the people of the town bat never showed any svmptoms cf tie contagion. The same rule applies in the instances atnoDg the colored people. No new cases seem to develop and we look for : o further trouble in that line. The health of the town is good. The doctors are not reaping a rich ; haivcst this year. Quite a number of our young men j who were off to college in different j sections have returned home for va- ! cation and sociable?, are the ' order of the day.
