The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Tubiisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., W?TNj?SDAY. JULY 5. 1809. Fully ttfo thousand persons attended the big alliance rally at Seneca, on July 4th. Hon. J. R. Blake, of Abbeville; J. C Wilborn, President of the National Alliance: Congressman A. C. Latimei; Congressman W. J. Talbert and Senator B. R Tillman, made stirrirg Alliance speeches and all were well received. Senator Tillman was the feature of the day and his reception by the audience was enthusiastic amounting almost to an ovation. The Sena tor as usual delivered some hard blows in his characteiistic style, which were received by his hearers by wild applause. Illinois has outdone the South in its treatment of the negro. About ten months ago a colony of 1000 negroes were imported to Pana, to take the place of white union men. Since their arrival at that place they have b^n maltreated and subjected to all kinds of abuse and sufferings and their lives have been made unendurable. Gov. Tanner furnished tfiem railroad tickets norno. iq me mining districts of the State, negroes are being whipped, shot down and driven from pillar to post like dumb animals and State troops had to be ordered out to protect lives and propei ty in some sections. Last Sunday morning a destruc tive fire broke out on Gervais street tkThe burned dibtiict extending from up that street from Lincoln street to Tickling's store and back on Lincoln street to cottages facing thereon.*' The fire originated in Collicutt's bakery and burned from there to the Hill house. All the buildiDg3 were of wood and were an easy prey to the fhmes. All the 9 property destroyed was covered either in whole or in part by insurance. Judge Buchanan has granted a temporary in junction against the , Seaboard Air Line Company in the Sidney Park condemnation proceedings. The hearing is set for Friday, the 7th inst. Some of the Columbians are much wrought up over the injunction proceedings. It is feared that the road will go to Swansea instead of Columbia. % Mavor Woodward of Atlanta. Ga . w ? ? , 7 has been forced to make the humiliating confession that he is a sot, libertine, and gambler which were recently charged by Rev. Dr. Broogbton, Pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church of that city. Ttie Mayor was not impeached on the promise of reforming his habit3. A commission was appointed consisting of three well known physicians of Columbia, to pass upon the mental condition of Edward "White, charged with killing a white woman in that city recentiy. The repoit was to the tffect that he was perfect, ly saD and therefore morally responsible for his deed. E G. ErwiD of Savannah, Ga., and M. F. Plant, the only son of the late Henry B. Plant, have- been elected President of the PiaLt Investment Company, and the Plant system of Riilroads. Mr. Ecwin succeeds Henry B Plant, recently, decased. It is now generally conceded that General Joe Wheeler will be sent to the front to Gght the Filipinos. It is said bj those close to the throne of Emperor McKinley that his particular assignment will be determined when the War Department has Heard irora uen. Utts. It was a fortunate tbiDg for Dewey ! that there was do Sampson around the bay of Manila at the time of the destruction of the Spanish fleet, otherwise he, too, like Schley, would have been robbed of the credit of winning so glorious a victory. It is definitely settled that the new city hall of Columbia \^ill be erected on the site of the eld one. Architects have been invited to submit plans and specifications of a building not to exceed the cost of $25,000. Hoc. Wm. J. Bryan has been making speeches all over the country in the interest of the Democratic party. He spoke to a large and enthusiastic audience at Atlanta on July 4th. Collis P. Huntington, the wealthy railroad magnate, has recently purchased a large tract of land in Han- j over countv, Va., and will erect i thereon the first reformatory for j negro children in Virginia. It is said that Spanish rule blighted ail the energy and enterprise of Cuba, while the American rule will j make the "Pearl of the Antelles" , blossom as the rose. ^naaaMaBBMnnEBne There is wide spread of noting in !

Over a year ago I suffered terribly for nearly four weeks with prolapsus and weakness. After using one bottle of 'Favorite Prescription' and ! one of Pellets,' I was a well woman.

While we in portion of Lexington county have been greatly suffering from a contraction of out rain supply the people of a portion of Texas has been suffering from an over production a3 the following account of a destructive storm will show: "Bryan, Texas, July 2 ?Reports froni the Brazes river continue to show that the rise is unparralkled. Thousands of acres of corn and cotton which were 'laid by' are under water and the loss cannot be esti- j mated until the floods resede. Those I who have visited the river bottoms | at the Jones iron bridge, nine miles south of here, report that horses, household effects, bedding, trunks, cows and hogs, alive and dead, and | hundreds of other things were com- j ing down. Parties who went out to j investigate the flood situation between j the Big and Little Brazos rivers ! above here report that the two rivers j met Friday below Hearne, forming a j vast basin of water covering large j plantations on which are gins, stores ! and residences. The same conditions i prevail in the bottom beyond the Big j1 Brazos. The river is spreading out j opposite and beyond Bryan. "Win. Thomas and Patrick Ward !

Thev went to a number of ;; * i neighboring towns in their boats, row- j j ing over fields and through plauta- 1 < tions. The water was 2S inches deep I < in front of the stores at Steele's. The j < Hearne and Brazos railroad is prob- ; < ably submerged its wbolo length and j i much of it washed away. The peo- i i pie have been gathered together at 1 the gins by the plantation owners j i and are reported safe. The same i plan appears to have been pursued < across the Big Brazos.*' 1 OBITUARY. ; J Mr. John A. Kelly died at his son's j < borne, on June 23rd, at the ripe age ; '< of 94 years. Although at such aD ;! age he was, up to the last years of j his life, very active. He was a mem- 1 ber of Salem E. L. Church at the j < time of his death, having been a j i member for over 70 years. The | < funeral service was conducted by the i \ writer in the presence cf a large i 1 congregation, in Pleasant Hill church, i ' and his body laid to rest in the family j ' burying ground near by. The large | i crowd in attendance showed the high j * esteem in which the deceased was ; 1 held. His wife preceded him ten j i years.

When I fust noticed my name an uouneed I went to Lexington with the full determination to withdraw my name. I do not believe in a monopoly, even of the offices, but was advised by fiiecds to allow it to re main. I then said on account of*the condition of my health and my business I could not make a thorough cnuvass of the county, that I was generally known as I tried to servo you six years, that I was willing to leave it to the people. Some one taking advantage of that has circukfpit ?!l rsvf-r tho nnuntv fur the purpose, I suppose, of injuring me in the race, that I would withdraw. I am proud to know no one has jet attacked my character. That is worth more to me than money or office. You have good men to select from perhaps, better qualified than I am, but I take this opportunity to say to my friends, do not heed these fclse reports. It is done to injure me. I am in the race to the fioieb, and if elected will do as heretofore, my best to warrant your approval. Thanking you for the past expressions of confidence and esteem with the promise that I will try at least to attend some of the meetings, I am your obedient servant. \V. H. F. Hast. Swansea, S.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the "mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is " * ' - n j ?c nomiDg our, au lanameu uunumuu ui the mucousurs.faces.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Brookland is a component part of Lexington county and her prospeiity is a blessing and a source of gratifi cation not only to herself, but to every office bolder, tax payer and citizen of the county. Every intelligent citizen will rtjuice with us in Lbe accession of thirty to fifty more ciew operative dwellings and eight hundred to one thousand more population to our town in the near future. The contractors' bids for building them has been affirmed and work is tc iuegin in a short time. Besides ihese there is at all times a goodly cumber of dwellings going up at bffercot places in the town. Houses \re occupied as soon as built. There ire no etnpty houses here. Our growth will be continuous and we regret to know that some of tLe officers of the city of Columbia have 1 j ?t aecome sppreueusive auu jeaiuus ui Dur rapid progression and, but for ike toll bridge, an influx from Co lumbia would set in, that would bedeck ''The Brookland Heights'' west cf Brookland, with hundreds of magnificent dwellings. From Main street in Columbia, these "Heights" loom up in beautiful magnificence, md the undulating and silvery waves *s they roll and rustle over the bed }f Horse Like, as seen from these Heights is a lovely spectacle. There is no place upon the earth more healthy, and building lots are yet comparatively cheap. Brookland and Lexington county wants and needs iree bridgfs. rroni the day of Columbia's birth up to cow she has been fed aud nurtured by the hard fisted farmers of Lexngton county. They have not only ! jivtn Columbia then trade, but have j during all this time, paid au enor- ! :nous tax ia bridge toll, much of i which has gone into the pockets of j Jdumbia stockholders, thus paying j L.'olurnhi'ins for the pleasing privilege 1 iWomenj | Fifty j I The most critical period in the gj g life of a woman is that attending gj the change of life. The symp- M B toms attending this perioa are Bg g fainting spells or attacks of clizzi- 1] B ness, headache, general debility, ffl fi exhaustion, a feeling of melan- m M choly, hysteria, pain i:i the loins ft g or limbs, hypochondria, etc. The H Eg change is a gradual one?for bet- n tjs ter or worse; for the former if the gB R patient be wise enough to fortify ft ij the system against the ravages f B attending the change.

The weight of this burden has been 30 great that several times <fY>rts have been made by citizens of L?xington to themselves pay for Ihe free bridge, bop iug that Columbians would see the line of justice and assist in relieving their Ltx'ngton patrons of this onorous burdeD, when in fact justice has ciied long and loud demanding that Columbia alone should free this bridge. Now to cap the climax Columbia seems to rather iusist that the bridge be Dot made free, even when by their consent it could be freed without one dollar of cost to them. At a late council meeting an alderman said that he was not certain that Columbia needs a free bridge and further said that if the bridge was free Columbians would . go to Brookland to escape taxes, and one or more of Columbia's daily papers argue that it would be against Columbia's interest to give a free bridge and railroad depot to Brookland. No better proof than this can be adduced to prove Brookland's prospective prosperity and power, and Columbia's attitude toward Brookland and Lexington county is enough to drive their trade from her limits and it is about time to close both the bridges and keep Lexingtou's trade within her own borders and thus enrich her own towns and make her taxes easier, rather than give their patronage to non-apprecialive recipients.

BMs. Ad Irresistible Demand Exists for Cotton Packed in the New Way. f Some Facts About the Methods of the American Cotton Company and It3 Cimpaign?Profits in the New Method of Piling. The South is still conseivative, but it is no longer "slow." It is shaiing in the wonderful prosperity of tbo rest of the country. It is passing through a revolution that is giving new life and vigor to every branch of the cotton industry, rxcepting those members which have been hurtful, instead of helpful, to its prosperity. It is simplifying, strengthening and using a new economy in the pin-king and handling of the staple. The Itoundlap method of baling cotton is growing rapidly in favor, adding to the prosperity of the planter, whether he raises two bales or two hundred, mvinof 4 ni m r\ v\r r< or on nnnoi* auw 5"'ub ft'1* ?" ? i t'"* tunity to double ibe earningcapacity of Lis plant without incr a ing his investment. The opposition to the itiundlap bale on the part of the compress ovners and the middlemen, whose bu-.iness Las been a burdensome tax on the cotton planter, has not prevented the steady introduction of the machinery for making the Roundlap bale, and the satisfaction of. the farmer, the ginncr and the mill owner. The attacks on the American Cotton Company, owners of tho RouDcllap baling machine, have been bitter and unscrupulous. They Lave been accused of attempting to gain a monopoly, of using "tiust" methods, but gradually the facts are gaining headway that the Americon Cotton Company is only one of three concerns engagc-d in making round baling presses, and that it can not enjoy any monopoly. TheD, again, objection is made to the policy adopted by the company of leasing its machinery to the gin owner instead of selling it. The lease i?, in effect, a royalty, the amount of the rental being based on the amount of cotton bded in the press, thus makiDg the profit and prosperity of the company depend on that of the ginner. Under the leas ing system, it is found, the ginnei runs no risk, ties up noDe of his cspi tal, and makes a9 much profit out ol the leased attachment to his giunerj as from the ginnery itself, in which his capital is invested. The advantages of the Rouncilap bale over the old stAle bale are sc many and so great that its general introduction will be rapid, and the greatest sharers in the profits will be those who perceive earliest the tendency of the times and prepare themselves to supply the new de tnand. The greater simplicity of the bale, saving ties and bagging, its greater security from fire and consequent lower insurance, its saving ic shipping and its rapidly growing popularity in the mills at home and abroad, all make up a situation that creates a demand for the Itoundlaj: bale which must be supplied.
