The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuili July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C.. WETNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 20, 1899. "Yesterday afternoon three of the linotype operators of trie State force took a ti ip to the rock quarry on asight seeing expedition. On arriving: they noticed some uegroes running: awav. but not knowing the cause of their haste, they wen' on until hailed by one of the hands with the cry of 'Fire in the hole.' Th^y immediately decided that theirabscnce from the spot would be beneficial t"> their health and forthwith sped away. However if came very near proving serious for one of them for a good siz-'d pieoe of granite fell within about a foot or him and embedded itself in the earth As a result of the shock 'Slug 2' had on a sub' last night.''?Columbia State. Friday, September 15. Evidently the State's "soaking idea" must have again escaped from its keepers and its disappearance was n )t discovered until the fleeing shadow had passed the limits of the city and entered tbe granite studded mils 01 Lexington. The alarm was giveD and pursuit must have commenced immediately in which the composi tors down to the devil strove with each to first catch up with tbe loss darliDg of tbe grief stricken State. Faster, hotter and most furious grew the chase and "Slug 2,'' being fleeter of foot and haviDg more stamina than his companions, outstripped them in the chase and was the first to catch sight of the "idea." But alas! in the hour of triumph, in the moment when the laurel wreath was about to be placed upon his heated brow and the excited populace was about to greet him with a victorious shout, the "idea" bursted and "Slug 2" bad to put on a "oub" that night. We grieve with the State in the loss of its "idea," and in the course of time, should it ever be so furtunate as to possess another "ideav it should be put in a double barred, doubled locked padded room with grated windows so as to prevent it from roaming all over the country. Labor troubles still continue to disturb the miniDg interest of West Virginia and Illinois. The bone of contention in the former State is be tween capital and labor over the mat ter of wages. The miners demand an advance of wages which the mine owners refused and the m?n have gone out on a strike. In Illinois thte trouble seems to have arisen over an attempt on the part of the mine owners to supplant white labor with negro labor. Race riots are of frequent occurrance and the negroes have suffered bodily injury and loss of life at the hands of their brethren in white. A strange feature about the race riots which occur up North is the painful silence of the Northern press concerning them. There is no wave of indignation; no word of condemnation, and no white fanatic in petticoats rushing to the scene of mur der and addiDg fuel to the flames by incendary speech and action. Bat lei some white man in the South shoot 8 brute who had invaded the sanctitj of his home and insulted his womeE, folkand at once a howl is* raised up North over an alleged Southern outrage. The consultation between Attorney General Bellinger and Col. Neal, late Superintendent of the State Penitentiary, wa9 barren of results. Col Neal claims a number of credits which should have been given him, but which were disallowed by thp Investigating committee and the Attorney General insists that the Col must pay the whole sum named by the committee which it alleges is due the State. The matter will now go into the courts for final settle . ment. Maryland has strongly protested against the policy of the administration in its studied efforts to humiliate .? Admiral Schley by appointing him to the command of the South Atlant'c squadron which is declared to be uncommensurate with his dignity and service he had rendered duriDg the a C* ? American opauisii war. The National Democratic Exccu- 1 tive Committee has organized for < campaign work and propose to carry i on an aggressive warfare against the j Republican party and its doctrine of 1 imperialism. Iq an address it urges the Democrats of Kentucky to sup- ( port the regular nominees and get ] together to win a victory. <. i "We have been letting theCongaree count y ideas ;tk at its leisure. And it seems to he soaking pret'y deep into the sandy s<>ii ?>l old Lexington. Our information is that in theBatesburg region public sentiment is almost unanimosly for consolidation, and a gentleman \vli<> has be-n around a good neat in other parts-<f Lexinton says that every E one he has spoken to about it is favorably inclined toward the change. This will be a p very live quest ion in Lexington county n-xt ? campaign. Let the absorption proceed."? J } Columbia State, buuday. September* 17th. ^ Will our neighbor please specify as to who the gentleman is that ' knows so much about the opinion of j tko r?ortr.lp r.f Tjpxinf>tnn on the an- : luv ? o ? nexation idea. The German government, it is e said, has emphatically informed ! ^ President Kruger, of the Transvaal, i 0 that in the event of war between I ^ j England and the Bjers, that she j D shall remain neutral and that the j ^ Germans who have volunteered their I (1 help, will be aiding President Km- i s ger at their own risk. j ^ The Boers in South Africa are oc- j ^ cupying strong positions in anticipa- a tion of war with England. 5 BBKBBBBHBHHBHBBBEaEBB&HSBUBERHISBn Upon the advice of the military advisory board of Georgia, recently appointed by Guvernor Chandler, seventeen negro companies btlonging to the National Gaards have been disbanded on account of a failure to stand the examination by the Inspector General. Twelve white companies were also dismissed for the same reason. Charleston is maintaining strict quarantine regulations against the yellow fever districts. No immediate danger is feared and the action of the authorities is merely precau tionary. Mr. Geo. W. Paiker, a prominent real estate broker of Columbia, is dead. He was the son-in law of the late Edwin J. Scott, who was well and favorably known in this county. About 490 cases of yellow fever has so far developed at Key "West. The town being below the frost line, the fever will have to run its cou:se before any relief can be had from the disease. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding has issued an order allowing the three unenlisted China men aboard the Olympia to land in New York. Ex-Governor Evans has o^ked for an itemized statement of his alleged indebtedness to the State peniten tiary. He doubts the accuracy of the accounts. Msij. S. It. Jones, U. S. A, who has been quartermaster at Manila, is ot the opinion tnat ou,uuu men win have to be kept in Luzon for 10 years to keep the peace. Admiral Schley has been assigned to the command of the North Atlantic squadron. This is a fourth class command for a first class officer. The Filipino insurgents have made a proposition to Gen. Otis to free all the American prisoners held by them. The proposition has been accepted. The pardon of Dreyfus has been signed by the French Cabinet of Ministers. The conditions are unknown. China has formally protested against Gen. Otis' order excluding her subjects from the Philippines. Gen. R. A. Alger has definitely decided to withdraw from the Senatorial race in Illinois. Secretary of State Cooper has issued orders forbidding loafing in the State house. The Americans are running steel armored trains in the Philippines. Columbia is offering her city hall site for sale.

"I was suffering with what the doctors called chronic indigestion, torpid liver, and vertigo." I writes Mrs. Martha K. Barham. of Xewville, Prince George Co.. Va. "The doctor did me 1 no good. My symptoms were giddiness in . the head, pains in the chest and an nneasv J feeling all over. I also suffered with female weakness. " I was all run-down and could not do any work at all without suffering from nervous at- < tacks. I wrote to Dr. R V. Pierce, of Buffalo, X. Y.. for advice. He advised to use Dr. Pierce's I Golden Medical Discovery and ' Favorite Prescription.' I did so. and used five Bottles of j each, and I cannot express the benefit I have received from these medicines. I gained in J health and strength. When I commenced to use the medicines I weighed only 112 pounds. ( now I weigh 140 pounds. I thank God and Dr. Pierce for mv recovery.

The Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Cj , the Lowry bale of the Planters' Compress Company, and an ordinary square cotton bale were subjected to a thorough-going fire test in Lowell, Mass., June 8tb, by the Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies of the United States, for the purpose of determining the relative fire hazards ( f the several methods of baling cotton. Two small frame houses, exactly alike, and some distance apart had been erected on a vacant plot and the space beneath them filled with boards and cotton waste, over which ten gallons of coal oil were poured. Ia one building eight American Roundlap bales and one square bale were stored. In the other, eight Lowry bales and one square bale. The torch was applied and the flames were permitted to burn one hour before being extinguished. It was as hot a blaze as cotton could well be subjected to. There was no test of the square bale, owing to the fact that when the superstructures collapsed, which they did a few minutes after being fired, one of the square bales fell away from the flames and then the other was removed. It was evident and "generally conceded that the American Roundlap bale stood the test much better than the Lowry bale. Nearly all the wires on the Lowry bales were burn^ 4 KaI An nl nn r?n f f rr\ m ca uii uuu IUC uaico CIUJU^UILU Aivui from their original leEgtb of 3 feet to G feet and over. This exposed the cotton in the Lowry bales to the flames which were eating into tie bales at many points when the fire was put out. Two of the Lowiy bales broke in two and were more badly burned than the others. The American bales stood up splendidly under the severe oideal. They neither unrolled nor extended in length, and only the outer surfaces exposed to the intense fLme were burned. This latest test, was only another triumph for the American Cotton Company's Roundlap bale. The cotton saved from the fire will be carefully picked over and the balvage reclaimed will be weighed. It was 6tated by underwriters present at the Lowell fire test that, at a secret test recently made as to tha ability of the two different styles of round bales to withstand the action of water, after being sub merged for some time the wires on the Lowry bales had burst and none of the Lowry cotton was recovered from the test. The American Company's bales came out intact and wet only on tne exterior, wnicn soon dried, leaving the cotton a9 good as ever. A Trustee cn the Chart Question. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Please allow me space in your columns to say a few words concerning the chart question. If all the trustees were trea'ed t s my loird were I think we would bs perfectly justifiable in refusing to pay for them. When the agent came through my country the first time he did not 9ee either one of my board and in a few weeks he came back aod said he had missed our school when he first came through and said the County Superintendent had seLt bim back and showed us a recom mendation from the State and County Boards of Education, and having no sample we bought on their recom m udation. But we found afterwards be h id lied about the whole busiuers We then tried to countermand thDrder, but the chart came anyhow, i but not according to his contract. ] His contract was to send the chart md four maps, but only one map ;ame. I have had the opinion of * some good teachers on the matter tnd they thought $10 a big price for ' he outfit in a common school.
