1 lie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul} 19.1894. G. M. HARHAX. Editor aud Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. G, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1899. Elections where held yesterday ir eleven States in the Union for State officers. This morning daily papers failing to arrive on time, we are un able to give the result. These elec tiona are important in that they bav< an influence on the Presidential nom ination and Presidential electioi next year. To illustrate. It it is con ceded that should the Democrat carry Ohio President McKioley wil fail to receive the Republican nomi nation. The follow is bow the States stoo< in the Presidential election in 18CC McKinley carried Ohio by 47,49 plurality. The Democrats last car ried the State in 18S9, when the; had a plurality in the vole for Got ernor of 10,782. In 1892 the Rf publicans bad a plurality of onl 1,072, and one Democratic electo was chosen. Kentucky, the Blue Grass State went for McKinley in 189C by a pli rality of 218 votes, but one of tb electors was a Democrat. Maryland has not voted Democri tic since 1893, but their victory la? spring in the Baltimore city election '"* has given the Democrats great hop? of carrying the State. In 189G M< Kinley had a plurality of 33,221. Massachusetts gave McKinley plurality of 173 265 in 1896. In Mississippi Bryan had a plura ity of 58,729. Nebraska, Bryan's State, has n< appeared in the Republican colum since 1892, when it gave Harrison plurality of 4,093. Bryan carrie the State in 1896 by 13,576 pluralit; McKiniey's plurality in Pennsy vaniawas 295,072. Iowa gave McKinley a plurality < 65,552. Virginia, New Y<. rk and New Je - sey are Democratic States. | . . LATER. McLean Democrat, and Nash R publican, are running neck and nec in Ohio. It will take an officii count to determine how the Stai has gone. The Republicans, with the help < the gold Democrats, have carrie Kentucky. New York is carried by the Demi crate. The Republicans concede Mar land to the Democrats. As usual, Massachusetts has gor Republican. The Democrats win in Mississipp Pennsylvannia went Republica by a greatly reduced maj rity. Old Virginia remains true ?o h< colors and has put herself in tfc Democratic column. \ .^ The Democrats carries Louisiar by 6,000 majority. 'Vow .Torcov won f T}or?nV?l i . Nebraska went for Bryan. Pg"*- " Sometime ago we contended i oposition to the ^gnexalion of Le: ington to Richland county lhi should it take place, Lexingto county would have to pay for th bridges across the rivers either by municipal tax or by a bonded deb because Columbia had exceeded th 8 per cent constitutional limit an therefore could not bond herse! another cent. The State, in il issue of October 31 in an articl over the head of "To Unshakle C< lumbia," vertically acknowledges th correctness of our position. ] wants the Legislature to submit t the people an amendment to Sectio 5 of Article X of the Constitution, s as to give municipal corporations t issue bonds for certain purposes each as waterworks, sewage, etc. I "We are anxiously awaiting th time when the advocates of the die pessary will take the stump in favo cf that benigh institution.

He is upon tb< stool of anxiety, however, waiting fo sjmethiDgto turn up, and in th< meantime he has lost his bearing: and cannot imagine "just what Sena tor Tillman himself will say when hi etumps the State Lr it"?[The die peoBarx].

His experiment in tobacco culture last 1; year was not at all satisfactory and he has turned his tobacco farm into a wheat field. We wish our county r, had more such men as Mr Wolfe. We partook of a royal dinner at F Mr. G A Goodwin's, at Gaston, on Friday.

Co the Editor of the Dispatch: I have already given my plans, sow, here is my plan to make it >inding: Take a mortgage on both armers and merchants?it won't cost mt 15 cents to put it on record. The mortgage on farmers reads as ollows: 'T promise and mortgage ill I have that if I sell any cotton to my one that does not belong to our )rganizatioD, that I shall pay $20 on mch bah; aDd this mortgage shall je good for the money; that is, if >ur merchants will give me 74- to 8{, ?ents for all the cotton I raise. If :bey fail to give me from 7 J to 8J jents, then this mortgage is null and ivoid, otherwise it is in full force." The merchants1 mortgage is as follows: ' If I sell any cotton to any me that is not a member of our Dider btlow 9 cents or over 10 centr, adding on freight on all cotton I ship. Mills must pay freight, I shall pay $20 on each bale I sell and the mortgage is good for the money; but I shall sell to my brother merchant at any price I wish. Any cot ? .-?i- -t ton 1 sen 0UL81U6 Ol Hit) uuucu States below 9 cents I shall pay $29 on each bale, but I shall have the right to sell it above 10 cents, freight added, if I wish '' No farmer shall be a merchant unless he sells all the cotton be raises at 7s to Si cents to bis brother merchant. No mill man that owns over $2,000 in a mill shall be allowed to buy cotton for the mill he holds his stock in. All mills and all farmers and all merchants must be ! on an equal footing, the only advantage given them is freight, so if j mills want to save freight let them | come and build in the sunDy South. We will bid them welcome and lend ! them a helping hand. If a farmer raises a bale of cotton that is too low grade and he can't sell it after trying three or four merchants at 7i cents, he shall have the right to brand the ! cotton below grade and sell it to any one he wishes. No cotton shall be allowed to reach the mills below 9 or j 10 cents, freight added, in the j United States in 5 or 6 years. If our merchants can't hold cotton any longer and they call out to the farmers for help, if any farmer raises a bale of cotton that year he shall pay $20 on each bale and his mortgage will be good for the money. This year shall be called the year of Jubilee and no cotton shall be raised. Now. God being my witness that I do offer honest prayers for our farmers, for our merchants and for our mill men and their families. I know that we are to pray for our j enemies, but I can't help it, I do ask the Lord to give us wisdom that we may be able to throw a bomb shell in this future cotton business and thit we may be able to blow it into atoms. Man who never raised a stalk of cotton or ever built a mill or done anything to help any one but themselves, selling and buying our cotton and never seeing it. Now dou'c understand me to say anything against B R. Tillman or their line. Tillman only claimed to be like Moses and to lead you as he did. Tou know that Moses had a rough time and so did be. Israel out of the twelve spies which Moses sent to 3py out the promised land ten of j them came back to discourage the children of Isreal, so Moses never !ed them into the promised land, ut he was a noble man. Now I promise you I don't ask you for any office or any money, but 1 will be ! ike old Joshua and carry you over safe into the promise land. We will tell our wife and children ,he good news?7h and 8^ c. for cotton ?and we will shout it to our neigk)ors and when nine-tenths of our ?ood farmers or more have banded ' ogetker we will then meet with ram J lorns and tin horn?, and we wi 1 1 >raise the Lord with trumpets and J issltery harp?, trimbrel strings of j nstrumonts and the highest soundug cymbals one whole day and when light comes we will send the New fo:k future men word that we have iut our price on our cotton and now hey can i.ist sell and buy futures as j 2uch as they please. If we don't { mash them li titer than ever the j: rulls of Jericho fell,I am nota living ; i lan. We will not have acane in our j amp. Any farmer that will not join j j s we will not do him any harm, but 11 nil look upon him as a black dog [ aiong white sheep and will treat j im the same way. I .
