The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., Wfil NfSDAT, JULY 19, 1899. TEE STATE'S IDEA DISSECTED "We feel that the Lexiugtcn Dispatch is entitled to coDgratulatione upon taking the safest course cpen to it for resist ing the Richland Lexington consolidation."?Columbia State. Thanks, neighbor, the Dispatch will pin the compliment to its masthead and shall strive to attain unto even greater cnes in the future. "Being unable to present any good business reason against the proposition, and beiDg likewise uDable to ignore what must become a question of constant discussion.*' * * * TT7 ? A I i Un 1 ?Yroug, juu air, uciguwi. ai> iue proper time the Dispatch is prepared to present many excellent business, as well as social leasons *wliy the proposed consolidation will bo ii-jurious to tho progress of the county and a real detriment to the business interest of her citizens. But that time is not ripe yet and therefore a discussion cf the subject, at this time, would be untimely and a waste of time and space. Indeed, the State itself recognizes the wisdom of this course, as the Dispatch finds on page 4, column 3, paragraph 4, of issue July 11, the following admission: 1 "There is no special hurry about "this matter. If the consolidation "shall be carried out it must be by the "wish of the people, and it will "take a good deal of time for the idea "to soak in." Why has our neighbor . across the Congaree become so sud denly restless concerning bis pet - scheme and chaffs under the inactivity of the people of Lexington to j "catch on" and swallow the tempting . (?) bait with a gusto and without . questioi.? Is it now unwilling "for 1 "the idea to soak in?" and charges | the Dispatch with "being unable to , "present any good business reason "against the proposition," because it ( declines to "agitate" an "idea" t which, if allowed to "soak" will ( become so water logged that it 5 will sink into oblivion by its ^ own absurdity, that not even so skill- ( ful and resourceful a wrecker as is the State will be able to float the j "idea" again. Come, neighbor, be ^ consistent. "There are some trifling errors of j "fact in the paragraphs. [From the Dispatch.] We did not propose to " 'annex' a portion of Lexington ^ "county to Richland, but to consolidate the two counties," &c. Then ^ our neighbor is more unreasonable iD . its demands than the Dispatch had at 1 first supposed and makes the State's "idea" still more absurd. "We are "not proceeding on the imperialist "theory that 'trade follows the flag' | "but od the common sense fact that J "the flag follows trade." The Dis- * patch will not pause to argue this con- 1 tention with its wide awake and idealistic contemporary. Suffice, however, to say that there are many beautifully woven tbeoiiesfrcm the massive 1 minds of America and Europe's 3 deepest thinkers and profoundest t statesmen to support either side of I the ormfcnlinn Tf is ji distinction . without a difference, or a difference j without a distinction and no matter 1 how it is put, Ihe fact remains that c the State, in the case of Cuba it is 1 Cuba for the Cubans, and iu the case r of Lexington, advocates Lexington t for Richland and thus occupies a a dual position diametrically opposed * and incompatibly antagonistic one with the other. . 1 It is true, the Dispatch is glad to I ray, that Columbia ei joys a remuuer- ^ ative trade from this ccuntj; but it C is also true that it is not near so large as it should be, and the Dispatch would like to have it erj ?y. The Dispatch is not lighting Columbia. It would not threw one obstruction n in the way of tier progress. It sincerely rejoices together with the g business men of that city in her bright * prosperity, and as an earnest of its t sincerity it hereby pledges itself to do everything not inconsistent with its j duty to its 075n people, to increase J her prosperity. "Must become the 8 "political capital." What! Touch ^ the thing with gloved band?! Whis- r per it not in Gatb, for somebody will t raise the cry of arrayiDg the country t against the city. But be understood c here that Lexington does not propose to become the tale of nobody's politi ( cal kite. r "Lexington county has three rail- J "roads and is to have five?not seven ^ "as the Disf atch asserts." Wrong, t again, neighbor. The proof of the c pudding i3 in chewing the bag, so we r will chew awhile There is the Columbia and Greenville, the Colum- ? 7 k. bia, Newberry and Laurens, the Au- \ gusta end of the Southern, the Flor j 6 ida Central and Peninsular, the Caro- C lina Midland, the Savannah exten- { I sion of the Southern and the Aiken j v extension of the Seaboard Air Line ! * ] w ?seven all told. Lexington, then, j ^ is on an equal fooling with Richland as to railroad facilities. t The Dispatch confesses that it was j r somewhat confused and be muddled j * iu wading through the long array of figures presented by the State in j 1 support of its %ti?2ea,,T bat when it | got through it found that tie figures ' only provtd, if they prove anything, i that the States ''idea" is sorely for J the benefit of Richland and to the j irjiryof Lexington. The Dispatch J has never questioned the amount i of taxable property returned for tax I ation in Richland; it has never de- J nied that a wave of great prosperity ' Las struck Columbia and that she is nobly responding to the impetus , wrought by the changed conditions s to meet the demands made upon her j resources. All these healthful signs ! of permanent progress and prosperity ' the Dispatch cheerfully and willingly ! concedes and rr joices with the State j that it is so. The State is in error again when it asserts that '"Lexington is a dead i towD," and in making that assertion i ! it shows a wceiul lack ct information f oil a subject which it seeks to speak j autboratatively. In the past seven : years the population has increased from 321 to 1,500, the volume of business will run from ?140,000 to j ?150,000, and the town is steadily j improving by the erection of store j houses, dwellings and handsome j residences? there is a large and grow- j iog lumber business done hen; the j cotton factories consumes 3,500 bales j of cotton per annum, the most tf j which is grown in this county and I sold at this place, besides this the | factories put in circulation a large j amount of money in wages to the | operatives. It has a rich and thickly settled back country which make this its maiket. Lexington is slowly but surely progessiDg and her people are ! satisfied. Our county is progressing and is j on the high read to prosperity: she! is free cf debt. Her people are in- j lustrious, consequently live at heme j and board at tbe same place. According to the State her real estate baa doubled in value, in which it says, in its issue of July 13, speaking of the purchase of a 4,000 acre tract-on the dd Dunbar road, obout S or 9 milts below Lexington, for 812,000 by Mr. W. J. Kceoan from the Robertson jstate, in this county, "just to show 'bow much real estate has advanced, 1 'it is stated that tbe late Senator 'Robertson at oDe time tried to sell the property for 86,000." The only inducement that the |: State offers for Lexington to j ?ive up her individuality is railroad facilities and school advantages, both of which she now en- 1 j >ys equal with Richland, and the alleged reduction of one-fourth mill in : :axes simply to become a component 11 pait of a debt burdened community 1 tfhose responsiblities it will have in '' part to bear. Our people do not j1 vaDt annexation, constquently there ij s nothing to argue about. j1 The Columbia State has at last j1 ouDd an "idea.*' Being a new ex- i ' Derience with it, it is continually harp- ! 1 ng on it. Unfortunately for th6 \ ] State, however, it is in "soak" where j ] t is likly to remain. |!

I had another baby which was the third child. My health began to i'..il and 1 then had three rniscntringes ami found myself completely worn out.

I Lave very recently transmitted to the Governor of the State my resignation as Chief State Constable under a provision of tbe dispensary law of South Carolina; and cow having severed my relations with this force and retiring to piivate life, I , i desire to express 10 you my sincere appreciation of the respectful manner in which you have been pleased to refer to my work and of the assistance you have rendered me and the State in hunting up violators of the law. I have a high pleasure in noticing the just and liberal sentiments expressed by the people generally on occasions when men under my direction were compelled by duty to make raids and enforce the law, and I have been very much gratified to observe that the sentiment respecting the relations between the constabulary force and the alleged violators of the law has been less hostile duiing my management than at any time since the law went into operation some years ago. As Chief State Constable I endeavored to enforce the law as best I could with out regard to sections or political differences. Men under my direction had a duty to discharge, and they could not get around that duty, nor evade its force. As constables of the State intrusted with a high duty, any failure on their part to fulfill their undertakings would have been an open violation of public faith, a breach of public trust to be followed by the penalty of dishonor and disgrace; a penalty, it is presumed, which no self respecting man of South Caro lina would likely incur. I hope I may be justified by existing circumstances in closing this letter with the expression of an opinion M a general nature touching the operation of the dispensary law. It is this: that I believe the people of j South Carolina like honest men that :bey are, like law abiding citizens, lesire to see the law enforced uniformly and in no section of the State ought violators to be tolerated without some effort at least on the part of he Scate officials to correct the abuse. I again thank you for your iinunesses to me on various occajions, and am indebted to you for tour assistance without which no nan could have done much towards enforcing the dispensary law.

The Yarn is 25 Per Cent. Stronger. Test of the Iloundlap Cotton Bale in New England Mills. Mr. Wm. C. Lovering, a leading New England Cotton manufacturer says: The Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Company continues to win favor with the manufacturers cf New England, as well as with the spinners of Europe. You can readily understand why this should be so, in view of the saving, and of the fact that after muking a very thorough inv<stigation in one of my mills last summer I found that the average breaking strain of yarn spun from this bale is about 25 per cent, greater than the strength of the yarn spun from the eld bale."

Cotton is improving, having held a good color during the dry weather. Old corn is not erood, but has improved i since the rains and if favorable weather lasts, will make a much better crop than was thought sometime ago. Fruit is almost entirely a failure this year; only a few pears make up the crop. The earlier planting corn and cotton has been laid by, and fishing 1 seems to be the order of the day with many j jst now. Crowds cf people are seeD going to and coming from Broad river almost daily.
