The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 30. 1899. As the result of a close and intellig ?nt study of the conditions in the Sjuth, General M. C Butler has c:>me to the conclusion that the only solution of the race problem is for the ' brother in black" to go for the p3ace and welfare of both races. Tuis is also the conviction of Bishop Turner, of the African Meth olist Episcopal uouicu, wuo ua>- . giving the subject much attention, is advisiDg the negroes to emigrate to Liberia. This opinion is growing among those who are watching the course of events. Separation is con ceded to be absolutely necessary to # avoid a war of extermination. The race war at DarieD, Ga., has been ended by the negroes laying down their arms. An address has been issued by the negro preachers warning members of their race to go unarmed, keep their women quitt and respect the laws. A special term of the Superior Courts has beeD called which will convene today when forty-six rioters will be tried. Four * * J companies of cavalry are on me spoi awaiting the result. A new line of fall dress goods, together with rugs, window curtains, : - drapperies, table covers, men's clothing, shoes, hats and in fact everything usually found in a department store just received at W. P. Roof's An inspection of this stock is respect fully invited as we know you will I find something in it to please you and we will make the prices to suit. Col. W. A'Neal, former Superintendent of the State penitentiary, has been arrested on a warrant charging him with failing to turn over money belonging to the institution to his successor. Col. T. J. Cunningham, Chairman of the Board of Directors, swore out the warrant under instruction from the Attorney General's office. Active work has been begun on the Seaboard Air Line's bridge across the mi ? i i c\r\c\ m a Uongaree. it win ne aDout zuu ieet below the Southern's bridge. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tbelast few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctor's pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science 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. SeDd for circulars and * * testimonials. Address. F. J.

Brooker and Crosson each made an honorable showing at their homes? but both could not be elected, and Col. Harsey made his best run at his home box. Misses Helen aDd Susie Davis from Florida are spending sometime with their aunt, Mrs. Frank Hodge, Mr. Hodge has also the comfort of hav ing his mother from Georgia, to spend sometime in his home. Miss Yivan Bast from Columbia and Miss Lilian Bast of Cameron, are on a visit to their grandmother, Mrs. Lewis W. Bast. Mrs. Elizabeth Geiger of Congaree, after spending several days with her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Nunamaker, has return to her home. She is the widow of Abram Geiger, a man well known and whose memory i6 much respected for his many traits of character. The large business interest of Mr . Boof will be missed. His family I and mercantile interests are sun m Swansea. Mrs. Minnie Simpson, of St. Matthews, is on a visit to the home of her father, Dr. Brooker. Dr. Brooker has also with him Georgia Lou, a j daughter of his brother, N. W. j Brooker of Columbia, and Miss Lou ; Wolfe of Orangeburg. Col. J. C Fort was in Swansea last j night at the Gantt Hotel. It is said j ft: that the Southern has already graded the siding for a station on his splendid plantation. Spectator, too, wants to be in the front rank and took his charming and lovely companion and interesting j children on a visit up in Aiken county j to the Rocky Springs community to : visit relatives and spent stveral days j pleasantly. We passed one night in ; the town of Wagener and met with ' many old friends and acquaintances, j We heard nothing but good cornmen lations and reports of Rev. riARRiED HAPPINESS is dependent upon the health of the wife more than on any other one thing. If a woman is troubled in a distinctly feminine way the most delicate h ) C nerves of her body are j ) in a state of chronic1 y y irritation. She has f headache and back- // Y^\ ache. She is listless and spiritless. She is cross and blue. She ?<'/ // 1 feeis that life is not \v j / 1 worth living and her v>/ 1 temper reflects the condition of her nerves. Poor, suffering wife ?poor, disliunhand. If the husband is a | cheerful, good humored man lie will sympathize ? if he is nervous, tired and irritable himself, he will probably go off to the club or seek elsewhere more congenial company. A sick woman is to be pitied because she is miserable and because she has not yet learned that J)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will make her well The "Favoritq Prescription" was developed oyer ular practice /f. I* Pierce who is ( chief consulted I ing physician IT P? to the Inva^ | J~ lids' Hotel and Surgical Insti^ I / tute, at BufiJ J falo, N. Since then it - W has been used by millions of women and has brought health, happiness and contentment to as many homes. " My wife was sick for over eight years." writes Albert H. Fnlte. Ksq.. of Altaniont. Grundy Co.. Teun. " She had uterine disease and xvas treated by two physicians and got no relief. At last I read about Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I sent to the drug store, got one bottle and the first dose gave ease and sleep. She had not slept any for three nights. Being sure that it would cure her I sent for five more Iwttles and when she had taken the sixth liottle she was sound and well. We now have a fine 1k>v at our house." The "Favorite Prescription" contains no alcohol and no opium or other narcotic, and is perfectly harmless in any condition oi iut; aivm. Miles Kyzer, a Lexington youDg mac who is now preaching for the people of "\Vagener. Friday was a very general rain and a very severe hail storm in the com munity. August 24. Spectator. "Pway's Loquacity To the Editor of the Dispatch: Times have been so gloomy that I have not appeared in your columns for some time, but we have had a nice rain now, and everybody seems to feel better and I will again attempt to give you a few items from around here. The old corn and cotton crops are injured badly by the dry weather, but there is still some hope for ycung corn and peas. The protracted meetings are about over with. The one held at old Lex inglon church, conducted by the Rev. Rivers and Steel, was a success. Music was furnished by Prof.-W. P. Steel. The one at Union was also good. Prof. Singly is now teaching a music school at Mr. G. C. Shirey's. He is a blind man and it is almost miraculous to see him play an organ. The health of this community is good. There is not a case of fever that I know o* now. Misses Irena and Carrie Koon, from Newberry, are visiting their mother, Mrs. Martha Kcon. Kufus Koon, who has been staying with his brother, J. J. Koon, has returned home. Mr. Editor, the writer went last Thursday below Lewiedale gooseberry picking. We started early in the morning and picked until 10 o'clock, and after dinner when the sun ceased to shine so hot, we gathered our pails and started out and picked until sun down. Then we passed an enjoyable night under the hospitable roof of Mr. Taylor. We started home the next morniDg with a Dice chance of the ripe fruit, and also the sweet memory of a very pleasant day. The people of that section have fine crops, as they have j not suffered so much for rain. Mr. Jim Ballentine and family, accompanied by Miss Cummings Coogler, gave us a pleasant visit last week. We enjoyed their company extremely well and hope that ere long they will find it convenient to pass this way again. Guess what young man went to see his best girl four nights last week. * Notwithstanding the threatning weather last Sunday evening a large crowd attended Sunday school at the "Star." Will Moore, a negro while returning from church, one night last week, was shot by two white men that pretended to be constables. The bullet hit a brass button and knocked him senseless. No harm was done to his body. The men have not been seen since. Next first Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, a Sunday school is to be organized at "old Lexington." We hope to see a large crowd out.

Pratt, of Huntsville, Ala , is president of the West Huntsvilie Cotton Mill, and operates at the same place one of the largest ginning plants in the country. lie has l>:en using the roundlap bale for two years, and expects to put up 8,0l0 ?/ ' A. * . to li'.OOO balc3 of 5C0 pounds each duriDg the coming season. Mr. Pratt has also organized companies for buildiDg two very large roundlap bale plants at Tuscaloosa and Dem opylis, Ala, and estimates that be will handle at these two points this year 30,000 to 40,000 bales of 250 pounds each, or the equal of 15,000 to 20,000 square bales. In a letter to the Manufacturers' Record, giving his experience with his Huntsville plant, he say?: "We are ginners and cotton manu facturers, and operate ten 70 saw gins and four presses. For two years we have operated roundlap bale presses of the American Cotton Co. The first year we handled 2,200 5 )0-pound bales, and the second year 5,100 500 pound bales. This year with a good crop in this vicinity, we expect to put up 8,000 or 10,000 bales. Our experience has been most satisfactory, both from a gin nei's and a manufacturer's standpoint, and the fact that we have sc largely increased our business ie ample evidence that the planters are well satisfied. The universal opinion expressed by all customers it that they are more than satisfied And why should they be s otherwise' We gin and compress for 81 and paj the planters one-eighth cent premium on their crop, or if we buy in the seed, as is now the rule here, we pa] them on this basis, and they sel their load and get spot cash for it thus saving much labor formerly necessary. Under the old procesi they paid $3 for ginning, made { trip to the gin with their load, gen erally had to leave it and wait severa days for ginning, and then made i second txip for the cotton and seec and another trip to market. In th< j spring we furnish them seed at tb< same price we paid when ginning was done, and they are then sure o getting good seed for planting, an< only what they want. Hence ther is no waste. Any planter who ha dealt with us will certify to the fac that he can better afford to hau cotton twenty to thirty miles to ou gins rather than gin near home, wit! the extravagant old-fashioned method He can not only save time, but mak money by so doing, and gets paid fo all the cotton he brings, whether h sells at once or holds his crop. H also appreciates the saving in havin< the bale sampled once instead o maDy times, and he further under stands that he gets a better grad than he does on the old country gins owiDg to the superior machiner; used for cleaning, etc. So much fo the planter "Now let us see how the ginne stands. First, he can giD, cove and compress 500 pounds of lint ii eight minutes, using a good outfit o five 70 saw gins to the press, andcai do better with a larger battery. Thii can be done at a cost not exceeding forty cents all told, while the olc process costs him not less than Si 25 including bagging and ties. In casi the ginner wants to Duy and sel cotton on his own account, most o the railroads of the South will allov him compress fees of eight and one half cents per hundred weight, o] forty-two and one half cents per bale If ho wants to sell his cotton to th< American Cotton Co., it allows him ? premium ol ijii.zo per bale over trie value of the same cotton in square bales at his locality, thus giving him 8123 net after payiDg royalty ci twenty cents per hundred weight foi the use of the press, maintenance ol the same and regular inspections. The gin plant can be run with less cost of insurance than the old system and if cotton is stored, four times as much can be placed in the same room. "There is no chance of mixing bales or samples, owing to the perfect sjstem in use, and no chance of losing cotton by country damage, as water will not permeate the bale, owing to all air being excluded in baling. The street buyer, sampler and cotton thief, owing to complete covering, have no chance to get their 'auger in," to use a common expres fciuu, as iuac is uu nceeoaiwj iui cutting the covering under the American Cotton Go's, sampling system. ''From a manufacturer's standpoint, the advantages of the system are too numerous to mentioD, but the best evidence of the advantages derived by the mills is that cotton finds a ready sale at a good premium over the square bale, and new mills are now being erected which will do away with bale breakerf, opening lapper?, etc. There is no necessity for middlemen, as the mills can bi y direct from ginners or from tl e American Cotton Co., and be sure of getting what is ordered. "The warehouseman who has handled the roundlap bale is loud in his praises. He has no 'tuitle backs' to handle, no lost ties to replace, no damaged balt-s to pick a:.d inspeo', and he knows that the weight stamped plainly on the butlap Ci-veiing is the actual weight of the b.de, and will not vary. He can handle to the mills, load in cars or on wagons with half the help formerly required, and his warehouse is not littered up with cotton and dirt, as under the old 33 stem. The howl of the middle men, 'town crop' handlers, compress stockholders and operators is but natural and expected, as they aie hurt, and badly hurt. But who can blame them for trying to get up combine?, compress trusts, regula tionsized press boxes, laws to prevent the operation of the round bale system, and for telling all kinds of stories about hard cores (which do not exist), etc ? If they did not see the handwriting on the wall they would not be so vigorous in their ffurts. But to the producers, ginners, earners and consumers, the only four parties who are interested, the situation is entirely diff rent, and especially to the producer, who. by reason of the low price of cotton, is compelled to adopt new and cheaper methods or give up the fight. The new system has come at a time when the planter most needed it, and those who have taken advantage of the system are free to state that but for this improved method and its economizing advantages it would be impossible for the cotton planter to 1 continue on the farm."
