The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. (J. M. HARMAN. Editor aud Publisher. _ LEXINGTON, S. C., WEI NESDAY, AUGUST 16. 1899. HE IS NOT S3SI0US. In opposing the Columbia State's "soaking idea," the Aiken Journal and Review, as will be seen from an article reproduced from the latter .paper and appearing on the sixth column, page 1 of this issue, takes a very sensible and the only tenable position on the present rage for the dismemberment of old counties and the formation of new ones with is be iDg so persistently agitated princi nallv l?v desianincr nnlitieians and self r?J ~J o o i interested persons?"that it is best to let well enough alone.'' A study of the map of South Carolina will show conclusively that the county seats of the various counties are as conveniently located in regard to the convenience of the people residing therein as can be surveyed from an economic or any other point of view, except it be that eastern and southern portions of RichlaDd should go to Kershaw and Sumter counties respectively and the western, including Columbia,and northern portions to Lexington and Fairfield respectively. This arrangement would be according to the ^eternal fitness of things," for a large per cent, of the business men of Columbia are Lexington born and Lexington raised, the foundation of whose business principles was laid and developed iu Lexington and Le xington capital is largely used in the development of Columr . . * bia s enterprises, therefore the logical conclusion is that if one of the two counties must be swallowed by the other then that portion of Iiiehlaud mentioned must go down the gozzle of LexiDgtoD, else the "survival of the fittest" will be rendered of no effect and ;t will, as it were, be t urning backward for centuries the hands upon the dial of time acd creates a vacuum in natures's laws that cannot be filled; no, not even by tho "soak ~ * iDg idea." When the State first laid its revenues and heart at the feet of Lexington and prefesseel a never dying and unquenchable love for the rich and unlimited estate of the fair maid we confess that we were impressed with ? the momentous issues involved in such an undesirable union that we seriously contemplated applying to Judge Simonton for a restraining in juction forbidding the ceremony because it was in violation of the interstate commerce law in that it abridged * the personal lights of the individual citizen, but when we remembered that Ben Ryan Tillman was keeping his mouth shut and saying nothing, we felt that the Columbia State, like John J. Ingalls with variations, was a newspaper without a theme and it had to kick up a racket to let the people know that it still . lived, we were fully persuaded that our neighbor across the Congaree wa8 only funning and that his intentions conceriDg matrimony must not be taken seriously. Now since Ben Tillman has opened his mouth at Sumter and other places in the State; since he has unbridled his tongue and broke loose again, the State has 1 seemingly neglected Lexington and ' is hunting "our noble leader" with its little pop gun. Certainly friend, the State is not sincere in its gushing effusion of af- ( " fection. Does not the Editor of the State know, as well as he knows anything, that the people of Brook- 1 land know full well that consolida- ' tion means their ruin? Does he not know that to make that town a part of Columbia would be to increase their | taxes without a corresponding increase in the selling value of their j lands? Don't be know that the people of Brookland and of Fork township know that to purchase and free the two bridges under the consolidation 1 proposition that they will have to pay the purchase price tbemselve j either by the ksuaDce cf interest i beaiirg gold bonds or by the increase j of municipal taxes on their picperty ; and the business by which they earn bread and meat for themselves, their ? wives and children? Does he not i know that by consolidation that the ! ! taxes of the people of Brook j land will be over doubled while those | ' of the people of Columbia will re- i main as they dow are? Did not an ! alderman of the City of Columbia re- ! j - ceDtly make a public statement that : j r . 1 -i 111 ! many citizens 01 me cny wouiu uuy j lands, build homes over in Brook j , land and live there solely to escape : * paying the municipal tax, and was j not that statement endorsed the j j next morning by the Editor in an ] editorial in his papei? Does he not | i know that consolidation will tend to ! ( depreciate the value of lands on this ) side of the river and make them a j drug on the market and leave them j unsaleable on the hands of their j j present owners by removing the i inducement, which, according to 'the i alderman ai_d the Editor of the State, ( would lead people to buy laud and i settle in JBrookiand?the paying of ; ! the municipal tax.-s' And knowing ] these things is it reasonable to sup- j pose that the editor of the State would seriously entertain for a moment the idea of advising the people of Brooklandandthetownship8 iu the Fork to enter into a uiairiage de convenience so as to either bond them and generations yet unborn to free bridges, or to raise the money among themselves by direct taxation at an increased lev}? There have been many things done, said and written by the editor of the State that have been surpiising to us and at times inexplainable, but of all wild and visionary schemes coming from within cold walls cf the mottled grainite front of our neighbor across the river this "soaking idea" of his surpasses them all?that is if he is serious * The Summer School for teachers which is now beiog conducted in the Lexington Classical Institute building under the direction of Prof. W. K Sligh as Piincipal and Prof. Jas. P. Bean, Assistant, is well attended by interested teachers. This, school will undoubtedly be a great help to those who intend following the profession as new ideas and theories as to the best way in which to gain and impart knowledge are beiDg introduced, and the teachers themselves vie with each other in saying that they have been greatly benefited by their attendance upon the sessions of this school. Teachers who are faithful and conscientious to the demands aDd requirements of their life's work and whose ambition it is to be successful in the profession need no urgiDg to attend this school, but there are some who are as equally conscientious and ambitious who are under the impression that they cannot afford to spare the funds from their meagre salary to attend this school. To those we would say that they will be more than repaid for any outlay they may be put to, which will only be for boaad as the school is free. Besides the State Board of Education makes it almost compulsory futile teachers to attend the summer school as it requires the County Board of Examiners to refuse to renew all certificates to teachers who do not attend. i hi . The Annual Alliance rally at Tirzab, York county, will come off on the 17th and 18.b, inst. It is expected that both Senator Tillman and McLaurin will be present. Governor McSweeney, says the Columbia State, has been invited, but hnds it impossible for him to attend. Mr. T. F. Brantley, the young man who ran against the Hon. J. Wm. Stokes last year for Congress from this District, has been elected a member of the House of Representatives from Orangeburg to succeed Dr. L. K. Sturkie, recently appointed physician at the State penitentiary. Six hundred members of St. Patrick s Catholic church of East St. Louis, Mo, have been excommunicated by Bishop Janssen of the diocese of Bellville, III., on account of a rebellion over the appointment of a German born priest to succeed an IrishAmerican rector. Mrs. F. W. Pickens, releck of the war Governor of South Cirolina, died at her home in Edgefield last week. She was a woman of brilliant intelligence, charming refinement and her grace, beauty and wit endeared her to the rich and poor alike. The outbreak of yellow-fever is confined to the Soldiers' Home, at Hampton Roads. The disease is nder the control of physicians and all fears of an epidemic and a spread of the disease have been quited. Culumbia is to have a paper mill, one having been chartered by the Secretary of State, with a capital of $100,000, J. L. Coker, Jr, aud V. G. Coker of Darlington, are the corporators. Oj Saturday of last week Senator Tillman m3de one of his famous j 1890 speeches at Sumter. It was red hot and delivered straight from j the shoulder and he literally roasted j his political enemies. Four firemen were accidentally electrocuted duriug the progress cf , a fire ia Omaha, Neb, ou August ! i)th, by the ladder ou which they j were standing coming iu contact j with a live electric wire. j j "The Sutphen house spook," which j is alarming tho family of a well j known Columbia lawyer, is no doubt | the State's Soaking idea" seeking j more congenial companionship.

Not 24 hours later he was again in confinement, and this time it appears that his troubles are heavy indeed. He was released under $300 peace bond. This bond was forfeited yesterday by his father, 5Ir. W. B. 5Ieefze. The result of this will be \Tooito trill cnfiTtrl a rPflr tuau juuujj mti *? j and a day in the county jtil unless some step is taken in his behalf. Billy Mcetze was drinking yesterday. He was met on Gervais street by his father, who told the boy to go home. There had been bad feeliDg between Billy Meetze and D. M. Jeffcoat, who was a witness sgainst the former in the Cartledge homicide affair. As Billy Meetze and Julius Mancke, his companion, passed Jeffcoat's stable, words passed between Meetze and Jeffcoat. The latter has, it is said, anticipated trouble. Running into his stable he seized a Colt's 44-calibre revolver, such as dispensary constables use, and ran to the door brandishing it. About this time Mr. W. B. Meetze rushed up and ordered Jeffcoat to put up his weapon. Officer Collins came up and at Mr. Meetze's request, arrested Billy to o n/1 q 1 or\ rilanod .TVffpnflf. I tJV f ftUU U*?v V? V V under arrest for drawing his pistol on the Meefzes. Chief Daly stated last night that Billy Meelze had been arrested because his bondsman forfeited the youDg man had been turned over to the sheriff. In arresting Meetze Officer Collins had quite a tussle. He refrained from using his club and finally sue ceeded in getting Meetze quiet. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until thelast few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years' doctors pronounced it a local disease, aud prescribed local remedies, aDd by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Scieuce has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J.

In view of the attacks upon the Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Company, and the cry of "trust" against the manufacturers of the machines for making those bales raised by the owners of compresses and others the following letter, indicating a "combine" of a different sort, is of peculiar interest. The letter was forwarded to the Atlanta Constitution by Richard Cheatham, editor of the Cotton Planter's Journal, of Memphis, Tenn. It is as follows: "New York, May 3, 1899. Executive Committee of the American Cotton Compress Company, 71 Broadway,?Dear Sir: It is proposed to consolidate by purchase or otherwise some of the most desirable com presses in the Southern States, provided such consolidation can be arranged on a conservative basis. "We are in consultation with the representatives of all the capital required for the business who a^e willing to take it up if it can be put upon an attractive basis. v "We desire to call jour attention to the fact that in order to meet the c -inpetition that has arisen from the round bale system, it will be necessary for the compresses referred to consolidate under one general m magement, fully able and capable to reduce expenses by improved methods, more uniform systems of compressing (aided by the adoption of the standard boX), to obtain lower rates of insurance and secure lower rates of freight to foreign and domestic points. "We recognize the advantages both to you and us of utilizing your personal influence in the new business, as well as your plant, but at the same time we feel confident that ULUCSS U cuusunutsuuu litu uc anauyed on an obviously economical basif, we may not be able in the long run to successfully complete with the round bale systems or with other new compresses which m3y ccme into the field. "If it is your desire to sell your press property at a reasonoble price, please be kind enough to answer the list of questions enclosed and also sign the option enclosed. "The information received will be strictly confidential and not disclosed to any one else in the business of c impressing cotton, except with jour [ consent. ''As there are over two hundred compresses, and as it will require considerable time and labor to send a committee to examine these properties and books and make all proper arrangement?, it is therefore necessary that the option shall hold good for not less than 6ix months from the date of your signing. ''Unless we hear from you within two weeks of this date we shall con * ' l jj: 1 L ^ siaer mat jou are cot uis-pubeu tu enter into the proposed consolidation. Awaiting your reply, we are yours truly, Henry C Knubtl, For Executive Committee."' + White Rock Whittlings. To the Editor of the Dispatch: A destructive fire raged in the vicinity of Ballentine last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Geiger who runs a saw mill and a turpentine farm, and Mr. Fickling who doe3 a wood businesp, were the greatest losers. It was the result of carelessness. Some negroes who claimed to have been chopping by torch light, are responsible for the fire. It is thought, however, that they were plajing cards. Mr. Geiger lost heavily in timber and rosin, and Mr. Fickling lost about 200 cords cf wood, and some cross ties. The negroes who caused the fire, had been woiking for these parties, but left at once when the tire occurred. Miss Mattie Wyse, daughter of the late H. L. Wysr, quietly breathed her last July 30th. She was a quiet unassuming Christian youDg lady, greatly laved by those who knew her. Her body now rests in the burying ground at Spring Hill The Children's Day at Bethel (High Hill), promises to be an enjoyable occasion. The program will occupy about two hours. Two motion songs will be sung by about seventy five children. It will prob ably be the largest gatheiing in the Fork of the season. All are invited to attend with baskets. The exercises will begin at 10 o'clock, Thursday, August 17. h. Mr. Henry J. Fulmer is teaching a summer school at this place. The Hilton and the Chapin base ball teams crossed bats last Saturday. It was a victory for the former. t w 1 onA O /"I T> AUg. I, 10VV. Q. \y u. Cupid's work is done when the baby comes. The soft, little, clinging, helpless mite is the crown of love.

The fear of motherhood is rapidly passing away and nothing has done so much to drive it away as the record of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
