The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juh 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Pub'ishor. LEXINGTON, 8. C., WEI NESDAY. AUGUST 23. 1899. This newspaper certainly cannot be accused of being fulsome in its praise of the public acts of Governor McSweeDey in the discharge of the duties of his office to which he has been called by the untimely death of the lamented Eileibe, not that there have not been many acts of his w hich bore the impress of broadness of mind and able statecraft, and were worthy sul j cts for the highest 'meed of praise, but because it preferred for the present to wait for the wisdom of his official acts to develop * i--! oeiore Deiug commuteu iu auj mauner, therefore it is with peculiar pleasure that we feel called upon to commend a recent act of his which we believe, if his instructions to the law officers to whom they were addressed are faithfully obeyed, w 1 prove the solution of the proper enforcement of the dispensary law. In depending upon the municipal autho i ies of the cities and towns and the Sheriffs and Magistrates of the several counties, the Governor has taken a long step toward making the law popular and has at the sametime in a plaiD, practical way effectually silenced the objections of many inveterate enemies of the law; and that, too, in a way that no one can reasonably take exception to. It will be remembered that the greatest ob jactions urgea against me law were the manner of its enforcement and the character of the men charged with the duty of discovering aod bringing violators of its provisions before the courts. Of course it was recognized from the very first that these contentions were only excuses to oppose and fight the law itself, but the reduction of the constabulary force and making it the duty of the officers Darned to look after the enforcement of the law will have the effect at least of removing these objections and giving those who have been using them against the dispensary an opportunity to fall in line and encourage with their support the ob servance of the law. It was cer tainly a good stroke of policy on the part of the Governor and one which . will eventually work good to the State. The Wheat Growers convention recently held at Greenwood, was a success so far as good results are rsnnrpmpd. A permanent ors'aniza " tion was effected and the work for the coming year mapped out. The machinery will be put in motion for the accomplishment of the aims and purposes of the organization. The next meeting is set for Greenwood on August 15, 1900. In the meantime meetings will be held in the various counties of the State. Col. Newman K Perry, a promi nent lawyer of Columbia, died it that city on Friday, August 11th, af ter a long illness. He was a nativt of Colleton county, but had been re siding in Columbia for the past 2C years, and at the time of his death was about 50 years of age. He was well known to many of our citizens. The farmers are holding meetings in every section of the State, anc agricultural affairs are not the onl} topics being discussed either. The} remind one of the palmy days o: the Alliance when that organizatior was such a power in the politics oi the State. Tillman has publicly announced that he w->s a candidate for re electior to the Uoited States Senate and would stump the State next year, making the dispensary the leading issue, and would stand or fall with that measure. ibe trend of current events indicate tbat tbe "bay seeders" and "one gal!us boys," as tbey have been derisively termed by "geutlemen Jims,'1 will mouut the saddle again and whoop up the "wool hat" candidates. OA. L W. Youmans, cf Allendale, ' Biruwell county, is the only candidate who is publicly announced so far as being desirous of trying conclusions with Senator Tillman for his seat in the Senate. The way the State is howling it has evidently been monkeying with Tillman's "buzz-saw" and is having "the butter rubbed cff.'' Politics, both State and National, are being discussed all over theSjate. This is rather early for the disturbing of the political waters. Ladies, Bead This. Dr. Baker's Female Regular is a new discovery for the prevention and cure of female diseases. It is undoubtedly one of the finest medicines for all it claims in relieving and curing suffering women. It is a perm-mem cure for all womb, bhdder a id uriuary deseases and female weakness, etc. For sale at the Bazuar. Large bottles SI-25. UHMaMBMaBHnHHH Sheriffs and Others Must Give Sup port. The Governor Will Not Tolerate Any "Winking at Violation of the Di.-pensarj Law.'* Columbia State. Gov MeSweer.ey lias written the following letter to each sheriff and magistrate in the Stale, asking for cooperation in the proper enforcement of the ai.-pensary law: Dear Sii: It should not be necessary to call the attention cf cfficers to the importance of enforcing any law. Tt should be the purpose of t very law officer to do Lis duty. It is the plaiu and sworn duty of every , officer commissioned by the State tc uphold the constitution and the laws of the State. It is no more the duty of the governor than it is of every other officer of the State to see that the law is properly enforced and ad ministered. Ia the performance cl this duty the law officers should have the support, encouragement, endorse meDt, and aid of every good and law abiding citizen. Those officers, whose duty it is tc enforce and administer the law, have no business to question the wisdom of the law making power in placing any law upon the statute books Their business is to see that the law is enforced, so long as it remains on the statute books. As governor ii shall be my constant purpose to see that the law is administered and en fo ced wisely and judiciously and ir this purpose I seek the aid of even officer and of every citizen of th< State. So far as I am able there shall be no discrimination in favor o any law. There seems, however, to bavi prevailed in this State since tin adoption of the dispensary law t sentiment that it was an exception and inasmuch as certain State con stables have been provided fur will a view to its better enforcement therefore, other law officers were no charged with the apprehension an* prosecution of violations of this law This is a mistaken view, as I uudei staud it, and I shall expect ever magistrate and constable and sheri: and every other officer to aid in Ik enforcement of the dispensary la^ just as he would the statute agains burglary or murder. And not onl so but I call upon every good citize to frown down the violation of tk dispensary law just as ho would th violation of the law against stealiD or murder and to aid the officers i bringing to justice those who violat it. The constables are simply t aid in its enforcement. "We ma differ as to the wisdom of the lav but that should make no different when it comes to the prosecution < violators of it. I feel that if prope ly enforced it is the best solution < the liquor question that has y< been devised, and I desire to hai the aid of all officers and citizens i t an hone3t and earnest effort to e force it wisely and judiciously. I have reduced the constabulai force and hope to be able to redu< ( it still further, but this reductic can only be made and remain perm } nent by the cooperation and aid i the law officers of the State in e j forcing the dispensary law as oth laws are enforced. This communication is address* especially to magistrates and const bles and sheriffs upon whom I Cc to aid me in the enforcement of tl j law. If I have evidence that ai magistrate or constable is winking the violation of the dispensary la P and i& cot making proper ifforts brirg to justice those who violate P I shall at once ask for his resign tion. I hope this will not be nect sa?y. [ I firmly believe that if the law , wisely and jndiciously administer* aod violators of it are promptly a prehended and punished throu^ p J the proper legal channels provide ' | for the tiial of criminals that | healthy public sentiment will preva j in its favor, and violators of the la will be looked upon as other crim | nals, and there will be no more re: son to have special officers to enforc if tlmn if io fr\ It a eiicf.ial nffl.Tovo < ii iliuj_i it 10 tvy uu T u viii\.viw i ' enforce the law against stealing However, let it be remembered tbt tbis law must be enforced, and thus i who violate it must be brought t ' trial and punished. If this canni j be done through the established an : ordinary legal channels, -then extn ordinary meaus must be used. A far as my power and ability go i j shall be my purpose to see that a i laws are wisely, judiciously, am j rigidly enforced. To this end le j every officer and every good citize | of South Carolina lend his encourage ment and aid. M. B. McSweeney, Governor. A Home V/eddirg. ! The home of Col. G. T.

There is more Catarrh in this sects' tion of the country than all other n diseases put together, and until thee last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, y and prescribed local remedies, and y, by constantly failing to cure with >e local treatment, pronounced itincura^ ble. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therer" fore requires constitutional treat sf ment. Hall's Catarrh Uure, manuBt factured by F. J.

Happening Around Samaria. To the Editor of the Dispatch: News is somewhat scarce around Samaria at present. The health of the community is generally good. There are few cast s of minor diseases, but none cf them are of a seiious nature. There have been seme cases of smallpox but all of the patients are now up and are rapidly convalescing. There have been no new cases and the disease is under control. We are having beautiful weather now and fodder pulling is the order of the day. The cross tie business is on a boom along the line of railroad. Just now it reminds one of former days aloDg the line of the Charlotte, Columbia I and Augusta railroad. It is a great convenience to the people of this sec tion to sell their ties without having to haul them so far. The Southern has put in a side track at this place and I understand have changed the name of the station from Westmoreland to Samaiia so as to conform to the name of the post office. Mr. Wade Hall had an accident to happen to his mill the other day. A gum stick which was being used to keep the lumber from pressing the saw caught the saw and jerked it off the mandle. Fortunately no one was hurt. W. W. * ^ Like Eoundlap Bales. Opinions cf Cotton Farmers and Ginners after a Seasons Experience. The attitude cf cotton ginners and farmers towards the Eoundlap cotton bale of the American Cotter Company, after a season's lest of the machine, is illustrated by a lettei received recently by the editor of the Manufacturers' Record, Baltimore, as follower Editor Manufacturer's Record: Some time ago you requested u> to give you our opinion of the Aroeri can Cotton Co.'s cylindrical press. , At that time we were unable to give our views correctly, owing to the short time we had operated the press. Now that the ginning season has closed, we can unquestionably say that the press is a success, in every particular, not only from a ginner's standpjint, but as practical farmers. The results from sale of our cotton have been eminently satisfactory and much beyond what we had anticipated, The advantages to planter and operator are so many that it would take up too much space to enumerate them. It is sufficient to say that no one who has baled their cotton on this press would now or hereafter patronize auy other. And why should they? Their gin 1 41,,. - ^ uiuy aiu ICDS uiau IUC cijuaicpress people charge, and they receive from one quarter to one-half cent per pound more than they could get in the square bale. There is no question about the round bale being here to stay, aod we would advise the ginmen, especially those who are near a railroad, to get iD the swim at once and exemplify the o'd adage if the early bird getting the worm. They will not only benefit themselves, but their friends, the farmers, will get the cream that the middlemer, the commission merchants, have been enjoying and getting lich upon. In conclusion, to condense the advantages, will say that the bale is fireproof, dust proof, waterproof, and proof that it is a labor-saving and mntiPT nv-ilriniT 1? iIp to thp furmrr. Morrib & Moren.
