The Lexi n<rtou Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. M. HAR3IAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. WET NFSDAi. SEPTEMBER 6. 1899. The teaclfers who are attending the Summer school have beeD having much enjoyment since our last issue. Oq Wednesday evening President G. B. Crornei of Newberry College, delivered a masteily address before a large and appreciative audience in the course of which he "crammed and jammed'' the teac hers with mu^h wholesome food for thought as to their duties, both in and out of the school room It is a great pity that every school teacher in the county could not have been present to hear the distinguished educator as they -a i_i_ ?? Inoonn fVinf. wnnld certaiuiy luibbcu a icoovu ?? bave been worth much to them to have learned. On Friday evening the teachers and some of their friends were treated to an old fashioned spelling bee, at Drafts Hotel, which was very amusing, after vrbkb- ciiey enjoyed a cake walk, marching from the hotel to J. D. Taylor's corner and returning to the starting point on the opposite sidewalk. Misses Eaimie F?.x and Erin George carried tff the honors of the bee and Misses Lena Harman and Macy Moots won the cake. Last night they had another bee and a walk at the same place and on tbi9 occasion F. E. Dreher, E-q, Prof. James V. Smith were the wiuners, having successfully withstood the attack of Webster's Dictionary, and Mrs. C. M. Efird and Mrs. J. A. Muller won the cake. The Summer school ended yesterday having been in session for four weeks, and the teachers have gone ran nre>r>ared for the faith * ** "J -- i I ful and conscientious discharge of their responsible duties. For them it was a season of intellectual feasts, Profs. Sligh and Bean are entitled to the credit for baviDg awakened new zeal and deligence among the teachers and their minds have been broadened and expanded. We feel that the cause of education has been greatly benefited by their work among us and there will be an influence for good which will go out as a result of the school which shall permeate and enlighten every nook and corner in the county. We will miss the teachers from our streets and from our social circle, but we hope to have their presence again. We wish them God 6peed in their work and that they will so form the characters cf their pupils that many will rise up and call them blessed. Frank P. Blair, of the counsel for Captain Obelin M. Carter, late Gov. ernment engineer at Savannah, Ga., has filed with President McKinley charges of perjury and subordination against General Elwell S. Otis, commander of the American army in the Philippines. Carter was convicted of stealing something over a million dollars from the Government and General Oiis was President of the courtmartial which convicted him. Charges of a similar nature will also be filed against General Advocate, Colonel H. B Barr, who appeared for the Government at the trial of Carter. It 6eems Uat the army officials of today are men who consider it more patriotic to feather their own nest rather than to preserve the honor of the soldier and gentlemaD, that is if we are to judge from the numerous army scandals which have been made public in the recent past. "We were told by the Republicans and their gold bug Democratic assistants before the adoption of the gold standard, that the silver dollar at the ratio of 16 to 1, was a dishonest dol lar beiDg worth only about 50 cents, and that, therofore, everytirne the laboring man receives one of them for bis wages and the farmer for his produce they were cheated out just one-half of what was justly theirs. The gold standard has been adopted, silver is being coined at the same ratio and-the laboring man and farmer are being paid in silver, heDce they receive just one-half of what they should receive, and the Republican party and gold bug Democrats are responsible for this robbery because they failed to give both metals eqaal monetery value when they could have done so. Senator Tillman and his famous three tine pitchfork, who have almost a world wide reputation, are much in demand in the political fields of different States, North, South, Erst and West. Senator Tillman is doing some very effective worK in tne interest of D mocracy. He is today unquestionable the best stump speaker in America. It is announced that immediately : at the conclusion of the Dewey eel- ! t bratioD, Admiral Sampson will be leiieved of his command of the North , Atlantic Squadron and as&igned to j duty on shore. Elitor Frank Mdchers, of Char- j 1 .'op, died at a ripe old age honored ! a: d respected by all. ALLIANCE MLLY! C.ntiumd from First Page. tha pnw?r of w-^lrb ?nl pr?jndice But he has nrlden over ?1I opposition; or, very nenrlv all Think of the opposition he has had to contend with and see wbot he has aerom plished. I'i the United States Senate he has saved the ration millions of dollars in ore ant. Pie is not onl v a man of words, but also one of deeds. I say without fear cf successful contradiction, that no man has done as much for this State as j B It Tillman since the days of Cilhoun. I have met Conservatives who recognize his faithful and successful work in the Unit* d States Senate, and they say they do not propose to oppose him. Some go as far as to say that they intend to vote f-r his return to the United States Senate. I now have the pleasure of introducI ir?f* "? SENATOR B. H TILLMAN. (A voice: Hear comes Tillman; thnre hp is. Cheering.) Mr. Chairman, ladies and fellowcitizans: You all seem to want to hear Tillman. I knew I am on the borders of Newberry and Lexington counties. I also know from faces I see, that. Saluda has representatives here. It aff >rds me pleasure to get among you, to spp face to face tho^e who have vo<fd f >r me year after year without seeing me, and to re turn you mv thanks. I am more than delighted to mrct your fair daughters, and b?t them see me.- that I am not a cross between a devil and bear, as some newspapers and people would have th^m believe. I have made more than an ordinary effort to get hern I was anxious to meet you, and to let you know that I appre oiatn vour support. Your chairman has b^eu kind enough to make iiipijfcion that I am a people's man. l.)o vosi know why I am a people's man? ? The reason I Jeff, the plow nnnares and wa? honored by your votes' It. is best, il'ustratpd by a conversation an old friend of mine had with a gentleman in Augusta. The gentleman asked him how long he had been a Tillmanite. He replied: I ^as a Tillraanite nine years before Ben Tillman was born. I have been promoted and put forward because I represented your principles- I am one of them. Some people are a little uneasy, and ask why Bon Tillman is making speeches when there is no election od. Some think I fltn uneaRy about my re-pl^clion. My election don't come off until next year. I will be looking after business then when the time comes. I i come before you now simply because , I want you to understand and see that I am not too big for mv breeches. (Cheers. That's right) I want you to know we turned thingR up sidei down. Not wrong side out, but upside down. The worthy people who were held down have beeD placed on top. Now that things have been turned up-side-down, it remains to be Reen whether yon will keep them there. (Voices: We are going to , do it) I belWe you should keep well posted. You should keep up papers that will advocate and defend vour rights. I am in the middle oi the road. Where are you? Ia the . middle cf the road behind me? (Voices: Yes) I don't want to 1 - 1 TC 1 ?i. T rpn^w Dincrup^". x< ici> muuc j. ? won't do it. I will illustrate my position by the story of the farmer: A. farmer was passing along the road in front of a rich man's house with a pitchfork on his shoulder. A dog ran out and bit at him; locked like it was about to tear him up. He popped his pitchfork into it. About that time the rich man ran up exclaiming; What did you kill my dog foi? Wbv didn't yon take the other end of the fork? The farmer replied: Why didn't your dog come at me with the other end? If he had, then I would have used the other end of the fork od him. I will be peaceful and quiet, if they come at me in that way. Since I have been in Washington I have received numbers of iuvitations to make speeches ia different States. I accepted the invita tioDS whenever it was possible to do so. I felt that by doing so, I would get to see bow the people wrre doing in other places thus gaining information that I could use for your benefit and the benefit of mv country. I have been in fortv-tivo different. States, and delivered speeches in thirty of them. I do not say it egot'sficallv. but. the hearty reception I received at the places I vi-ited left no room for you to be ashamed of your Senator. Iu Philadelphia an enthusiastic audience of 75,000 people greeted me. We in South Carolina do not dream of the condition of affairs at the North. As soon as you cross the Potomac, you get into a I wealthy country. Beyond the Ohio | and Potomac Rivers immense wealth I i?? nf T finrl flin uttd uaucuuiauu. xyuw jl wealth owned by a few people. The . masses are poorer than we are. A few are reaping the benefit of the labor of the masses. The last thirtyfive years has produced this condition of affairs. Ho*? By legislation at Washington in behalf of the classes. Fool voters of those sections sent men to Washington who did not represent their interest. (Voice: What are you going to do about ii?) All we can do is to stand by the Chicago platform. It stands for true Democracy. Some cowards and traitors want to make changes in it. It don't need any changing. Not one dot or word or letter in it should be changed. You must be watchful. Don't plough on next May when time comes for electing dele< - - --i i?ti ?i fraies aiiu iei runners unit aiuu^. Exercise jour rights and send right delegates to the National Democratic ConveDtioD. When we of the South j give up the fight the battle will be i lost forever. We of the South are j the only true Americans now We | are the seed corn of liberty. If this I country is saved from the foreign i element, it must be saved by us. My friend, Mr. Latimer, imirioncdj bridly tbe condition of affairs in the | United States Senate, telling you j how lawyers in that body received larger salaries from rich corporati< n< ! ? utside than what they were paid by i the Government. Wall S'reet owns 1 this Government. How did it. come J about. In passing alour. in the North and We3t I came across many ii.eu who didn't speak the English i language. They wpre yr>ters. The , ballot b d been put id the bauds of ! a foreigo ebineut. America in j diyid^d int.-. two parties?Democratic J and Republican. The R publican [ party represents toe rich element ; It buys foi eign voters, and p<>?urols j in that wav. Lock at New Y >rk?^ mean the citv alonr?it could huv j < very foot of South Carolina, (Voice: j AdiI the people ) N >, sir: not | pie. It has been rnv proud boast in j all toy journeying that the people of I the Souib, and particulaily Smith j Carolina, could ne t be bought. If I j thought you could be bought, I would not want, to represent you another day. To go back to politics in the North We?': Look at the State of New York. One man (PLtt) conJ Ir-Js it. He is a little fellow, and I looks like a cake of soap after a' bard J1 * . 1 rr ? il. . T> _ u.i} s wasuicg. .tie DOSQC,q tne rtepublican paitv of New York. Tbev accused rue of b?dng bo99 in South j Caiohna. I t0ld them you people j couldn't be boRsed; that I was a I leader and advised you, and we ran | together. South Carolinians dou't ! have bosses. Croker (Democrat) is boss of Npw York City. Piatt and Croker I understand are friendly with each other. Each ODe does the thinking for the voters of their party. The voters go to the polls and cast their ballots as they say. There is Matthew Q lay in Pennsylvania, Hanna in Ohio, aud so it goes. Bosses, masters, who run the party to make money. The condition of wflfiirs is almost hopeless. Legislation is for the classes. The masses j are helpless. These rich men enf i corporations control iu? utrwajjufjeiB. Tt looks like tbe Atlanta Constitution is even about to sell out to them But if the suffering amoDg the masses grows much more in those rich States in North and West, you a?o likely to see civil war. And you will be called on for help. The outlook is a gloomy picture, but I would be false if I didu't tell you. My proudest boast is that Wall St^et didn't have enough moDey to buy South Carolina. Why? We Rre Americans. Pure stock. We l0ve liberty. I thank G^d that we are honest and patriotic. Why is it that tbe war is goiDg on now? Tbe wealthy men want a large standing armv, so as to keep the masses in subjection. There are now 9o,000 regular troonR?4he mere rift raft of the earth. Tools in the hands (f their officers. When officers command them to shoot they'll shoot. Look at Idaho when the mine strike occurred Martial law was declared by President McK nley without request from the autbondes of that State. The people didn't seem to take much notice of it. This shows where we are drifting. There was a time when tbe feeliDgs of the people of the United States would have been outraged at such an act. I prav God that tbe people will vote "Rrrori and thp Chionnrn nlflffnrm "" """ v ??K? r ? A Dew way ha** been found to rob 1 the people. Capital combines with capital to put up prices. We have no competition. This is the outcome 1 of Republican rule. It is nearly 1 time for my train. If anv of you 1 have questions you would like to 1 ask, shoot them in, and I'll try and ' answer you as best I know how. [ How about the round cotton bale Senatoi? It is an improvement, I ' think. If I understand it, you perform at one operation what it us-d ' to take two machines to do. The compress is knocked out. There is a saving. Will the farmers get it? I hope so. Ain't they trying to form a trust, Senatoi? Looks a little like ' it. I don't like their not selling the machinery outright. Is it best to ; try the round bale now? Well, I am about it like the dog was about the meat. He was smelling around for something to eat. He came across a piece of meat, looked at it, smelled it. and went off without eating it. He rather liked the looks of it, wanted it, but was suspicious that it had poison in it. So he let it alone. Let the round bale alone until thev are willing to sell the machinery. I may not look at this matter right, but you asked ray opinion, and I gH*e my views for what they are worth. Take them or net, just aR you please. How about Prohibition Movent nl? I presume you allude to my soeech at Sumter, and my reply to Sm'th. Well, I am glad to tell you about thaf, for a good maDy newspapers have me down wrong. I was invited and went down there and made a sweet speed ; surprised some of them; they didn't think Til'maD ould make a sweet speech; but I carried a good deal of sugar with ! me that day. Senator Abbott in inI troducing me, made an exceedingly complimentary speech; too much so ! I thought, though I appreciated it. j I do Dot think it was ia as good j taste as that of your chairman today, j which I also appreciate. A member | of the Legislature from that county ! seemed to think I had been complimented too highly, aDd said he'd take the butter off of me. He took off the butter, and then scraped the hide. He spanked my babies, Clems>tt, Winthrop and the Dispensary. (Voice: And tried the old man) Yes, and I did some spankiDg when the reople calif d me up, aDd I got hold of him. He charged me with having left burdens on the people i and made blunders. Charged that i the fertilizer tax was wroDg, and he wanted to do away withClemson and Winthrop Colleges. Wanted better public schools. He didn'c seem to know that Winthrop was for the j purpose of training teachers for our I public schools, so as to improve them, and in order that our boys and girls might be taught by our own people I showed what I had done ia the Constitutional Convention and otberj wise for the public schools. Tbey ~ ^rn'ri/Y (n f. !.??? , ff f Vl Q nfivi. j aiu U0V> t- J ll'g IU luag vu vuv j | lege tax, and make a direct appropriation for Clem son. They say they want the tag tax to go directly into the treasure. Tbey are after killing your Ci liege. If we take oft' the ptivtf.-ge tax, x'ou'll not get your fertilizers any cheaper. We are now training young men for impottant j positions in the cotton nulls of the i South. Some of us visited the mills, I and saw that the common woik was j being done by our people while j Y iijkees were bosses. We deter- ! mi in (1 tu-it your boys, Southern boys, j should be trained for the position of bosses and bead places in our mills. B >ys are now being trained at Clemson for such positions.

Tbey don't tell you whtn I went into ufiice Cuosaw had control of the river, and had to give it up to the State; that soon after tile State got Control a storm destroyed the industry; that the destruction of this industry was a loss lo the State of about $2(10,000 a yeui; tbat the old soldiers get more money: that $00,000 was spent on Lbe Coustitu tional Convention, which secuied white supremacy; that Winthrop was built.

Instead, yon hear people no older than 40 or 45 who begin tocomplain of tired backs and brains, of stomachs giving out. of shattered nerves, of lost energy. of aversion to work. i/ \ These m e 11 h a v e 2/ thought more of dollars than of health. They forget that money is almost worthless without health to enjoy it. If men and women will take I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, they needn't worry much about old age. The years will go by. but they won't show it. This mcdi cine makes digestion penect, ana causes a disordered stomach into a healthy one that works as Nature intended. It regulates the liver, enriches the blood and tones the nerves. It prevents consumption by curing' bronchitis, lingering coughs and bleeding lungs. The "Discovery"' contains no alcohol; no false or uncertain stimulus; the power it gives is the power of Nature: deep, genuine and lasting. It does not create a craving for stimulants. In serious cases of sickness. Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. V.. will give free advice and counsel to those who write him. "The reason I delayed writing was because I wanted to wait our vo after I had taken the medicine before giving my statement, and now 1 can send a good, conscientious testimonial." writes Clias. H. Sergeant, of I'lain City. Madison Co.. Ohio. " During the summer and fall of ivy, I became all run-down." nerves and stomach were out of order. I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice. He said I had general debility, and advised Dr. Pierce's (".olden Medical Discovery, and I used six bottles. Since I stopped taking it about one year ago. I have not taken any medicine of any kind, and have l**en able to work every day. My appetite is good. I can cat three square meals a day. and I do not feel that miserable burning in the stomach after eating." Take an Interest in Fruit Growing and Give Variety to Life and Labor. When a tree dees not bear good fruit, or Done at all, it is hewn down. We haven't jet been hewn down, but, to the contrary, more of our trees are bearing good fruit than ever. 20,000 patroDs testify to this annually.
