The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. G. M. HARM AN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., W<SrNESDAY. NOVEMBER 15. 1899. VOLUME XXX, NO. 1. The Dispatch has passed its xxx milestone in the journey of life and while there are a few "silver thread among the gold'' it feels as young and healthy as the day when it first started on its journey. Looking back over those long years we see a record of which we are proud looking forward into years that are to nnmo nra arill of.Mra molra o Koiiop VVU4V ? V ff I4A OVi I T W VV UJUttV M MVIIVVft paper than we have in the past. Beginning this volume, we earnestly urge all who are indebted to us to come forward and settle their accounts. Having had the misfortune to have our home and office destroyed by fire we commenced on the ashes of our savings of years of hard toil and deprivation to build a Dew home and a new office. To do this we were necessarily forced to go int.o debt and now those debts are pressing us aDd we must appeal to our delinquent subscribers to come forward and help us out. In the meantime the Dispatch will continue to make its weekly visit to the home of its thousands of subscribers and it shall be our aim and endeavor to make it mere welcomed in the future x than it has been in the past. Lexington at the State Fair. The exhibit of Lexington county at the State Fair received the praise of all who saw it aswellashaviDg wod the blue ribbon in a fair and honorable contest. The exhibit was enclosed with stalks of goldeD, yellow and green corn with the ears upon it showing the different stages of growth of the grain. The exhibit was tastefully and handsomely arranged which showed the different articles fo advantage and presented a pleasiDg picture of home life. The articles themselves were fine specimens of the products of Lexington farms, manufactories and the domestic and artistic skill of her fair women. It was a creditable exhibit in every respect and long before the decision of the judges was announced it was universally conceded that Lexington would be the successful contestant for the $250 prize. Too much cannot be said in praise of the untiring energy of Hon. C. M. Efird, who gave his time and money in getting up so splendid an exhibit. To him is largely due the honor for the completeness of the exhibit and its handsome arrangement and we are convinced that the people of Lexington appreciates his efforts in getting together so numerous and splendid specimens in so short a time. He was assisted by Mr. P. J. "Wessinger, one of Lexington county's most progressive farmers as is attested by the large number of premiums he has taken at the State Fair for years. Mr. O.to Heigman was the faithful custodian of the exhibit and it was his delight to sing the praises and extol the merits of Lexington as a farming, manufacturing and mining county. They were ably and materially assisted by the other members of the committee, Messrs. J. Walter Dreher and C. W. Ciughman, and Mwj. J. H. Counts, who are also live, progressive and enterprising farmers and large prize minrtyc on/1 nr/ii'T? v auu Livi; x an The exhibit was made for the honor and glory of LexiDgton and for the benefit of her County Fair Association, and consisted of the following articles: Thirty-four kinds of wood, which were gathered from her forests and were exhibited partly in their natural state and partly dressed and polished showing their adaptability to the uses and necessities of man. The Dispatch has on more than one occasion drew attention to the fact that Lexington county abounds in fine woods in an almost inexhaustible supply. Six kinds of vines; sixteen kinds of rock. These specimens were very fine granite and other useful rock of which large quantities are easily querried can be found. Six specimens of pumpkins; two specimens of citron: three specimens of gourds; six specimens of cooper wan; eight bales of hay, straw, shuck?, etc.; one bale of cotton incased in bed ticks made at Lexington mills out of Lexington cotton; one grain cradlp, which wa3 made by J. J. Koon, of SpriDg Hill and those who ought to know say that it is equal to any Northern made cradle. Three plow stocks; two sides of bacon; one lot of brick, manufactured by G A. Guignard at Brookland, and thf-y have a State wide reputation of beiDg the best biick manufactured in ingredit-nts, mi?ke and fiuish. One ham; one barrel of roein; one box for turpentine cut in pine tree, showing the method of gathering rosin, with rosin before and after distillation HHHBHHBaaBHBBnaanaaBi and turpentine, these poods were exhibited by Mr. TV. D Quick, one of the best and most experienced DavaJ stores manufacturer in the State, who is so well pleased with the output of our pine trees that he has located a still at this place; one shuck mat; one 6huck collar; nine specimens of quilts; t*o specimens of rugs; one specimen of embroidery in frame; one specimen of hair woik in frame, made out of specimens of hair from heads of 22 Lexington giih. This beautiful specimeu of handiwoik was made by Mr. James Fields, who displayed much skill and ingenuity in its arrangements. Three exhibits of beautiful white and unadulterated flour from the roller mills of Erby J. George,of this place; Hall Brothers, of Lewiedalc; and C. D. Barr, of Leesville. These mills manufacture a superior brand of flour and for purity and excellency of flavor i9 unexcelled. Two straw broom?; one rifle gun in use over 100years, exhibited by Mr. Rob Senn; one cannon ball brought out of Revolutionary war ? one cannon ball c it out of pine; one pepper box of Revolutionary times. The three last exhibits are the property of CjI. D. J. Knotts, who prizes them very highly for their antiquity. One engine run by compressed air. This engine was exhibited by Messrs. Rickard & Redd, and was invented and made by Mr. James Rickard, an employee at the Lexington mill9. The model was run by compressed air. but the engine when completed will be run by steam. The points of surperiority claimed for it is that more power can be obtained from it than any other engine of the same capacity with less fuel, it catches its power just after it gets off front and back centre, and by an original idea of the inventor it is prevented from stopping on a dead centre. A patent has been applied for. One combination lock. This is a perfect safe lock suitable for banks, counting houses, offices aDd stores and so arranged as to remain unlocked when desired during the day and to lock itself when shut up for the night. A patent has also been applied for and it is the invention of Mr. James Rickard. One desk, made by Mr. Dreher, and it is a fine specimen of cabinet work; one lot cf home made rag carpet; eight specimens of bed ticking made by the Lexington Manufacturing Company. This ticking was pronounced by experts to be of a superior quality and will compare favorably with that manufactured by any other mill in this country; two specimens of homespun made by Saxe Gotha mills; two specimens of bleachings made by same: five specimens of cotton in different styles of manufacture, showing dyeing before spinning; four specimens of spool thread for weaving; two specimens of pop corn; thirty-two specimens of fancy needle work; four specimens of willow baskets; eleven specimens of corn; six specimens of wheat; four specimens of rice; one specimen oi bailej; four specimens of oats; twelve specimens of peas; three specimens of pindars; seven specimens of potatoes; two specimens d squashes, (grain showed in sacks made by Lexington Manufacturing Company out of Lexington cottoD/ four specimens of egg squashes; one watermelon; twelve specimens ot acorns; two specimens of pecans; five specimens of hickory nuts; three specimens of apples; two specimens of peas; one specimen of molasses two specimens of walnuts; four speci mens cf kaolin; one specimen o: okrs; two specimens of pepper; one lot of pine burrs; one lot sycamore burrs? three kinds of smoking tobac ' co, manufactured by the Dutch Fori Manufacturing Company, of Fair bank, in this counry. This smoking tobacco has no superior for fLvoJ and is fast earning a reputation as the best tobacco on the market; it is an excellent seller and is grown ir this county. Two specimens of lea tobaccc: one snecimen of Ancon ' * o ?fleece: one specimen of iron plane one specimen of oDions: one speci men of jar lard; one specimen ol cow bell, 100 years old: one speci men dish rag ? quasi; one specimer of eewee beans; two specimens garden beans; one specimen of pin< mast: one specimen head cabbage; one specimen of collard: one speci men of turnips; one specimen o radishes; two specimens of tomatoes one specimen of cypress knee; on* specimen of sweet gum balls; on( specimen of cypress balls; twc specimens of Iudian bells made by s I youDg man in Lexington of different woods glued together; two speci mens of boxes by same and out oi same. Lexington's mechanical genius was well displayed in these twc exhibits. One specimen of mortar and hammer; one specimen of sideoi harness leather; one specimen of side of sole leather; one specimen of sheep skin tanned with wool on leather; two specimens of dried fruit; one specimen of dried gooseberries: two specimens of walnuts; one specimen of locusts; one specimen of persimmons-; one specimen of wild grapes; fifty-uue specimens of canned goods, preserves, jellies, jams, pickles, vinegar, &c., the work of our ladies; one specimen of hops; G specimens of axe handles. These handles ?? were well made and a factory should be staited for tbtir manufacture. O.ie specimen of cat tail mille': one specimen of riv. r moss one specimen (f butte?; one specimen of soaj; one specimen of meal; one specimen of sugar cam: one specimen of sorghum; two specimens cf o'possum-; one specimen of Lexington mauma. spinning Lexington cotton on old Lexington spinning wheel. Tte wheel was made by Mr. Noah H^ddrix many years before the war and was a subject of much interest at the Fair. Mr. J Dudley Htselden, a member of tbe State Board of Control, was shot and seriously wounded at Sellers in Marion county yesterday afternoon about dark by John C. Sellers, who was in turn shot and probably fatally injured. The diffi culty grew out of the publication of letters during the recent dispensary controversy and was engaged in by friends of both Sellers and Haselden. About thirty shots were fired and several on both sides were more or lees seriously injured. In the language of distinguished statesraau with a slight change: 'God reigns and the dispensary at Columbia still lives.'' We have recently had occasion to examine the school books issued from the presses of the well known publishing house of B. F. Johnson Publishing Company, of Richmond, Va., and we found them to be well printed, on good paper and superior to those issued from any northern i ??11 ? ? 1 uuu?t, tAUtriiciiuj JLI vtuiatuauDiiip combined with cheapness makes these books very desirable for use in our schools and we are glad to note the fact that they have been adopted by the L'xington Classical Iastitute of this place and the indications are that they will be used in every school in the county at an early date. The histories, by Susan Pendleton Lee, while not free from fault, are impartial in the chronicles of the Civil War and for this reason alone they should be studied by every school child in the South. ' niGHTY HARD WORK. ^0n '^Ve^e"S0^^erS tions under which a man lL113 ^t1'1 LJL4t I I broke out in lumps all over and when these left the skin peeled off." says Mr. John A. Calloway, of 21S 26th St., Columbus, Georgia, in a recent letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y. "I ! had catarrh for four years and also liver and kidney trouble: when it would commence troubling I me 1 would have a slight aching a little below the chest. I used many kinds of medicine but received no benefit. My eyes were sunken and my face was pale; I had'pimples on my face and ; there was brown spots on my face. Now these are all gone. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's ; Golden Medical Discovery and two of Dr. Pierce's Pellets. They are the best medicines I ever used j in my life, and I do believe that I am entirely well. I have a good appetite but before 1 commenced treatment I haa no appetite at all. Now I am like a child?ready to eat at any time of ! day or night. I,ast year'l weighed one hundred and thirty-four pounds and now 1 weigh one . hundred "and forty - five. Please accept my thanks. I am so glad I found the right kind r of medicine." ' "Golden Medical Discovery" is free ; front alcohol: it is pure medicine and nothing else. Unlike the so-called "tonics" 1 and "extracts" which tend to create an f appetite for stimulants, the "Discovery" creates only a healthy natural temperance ) appetite for good food which nourishes and strengthens. The medicine dealer who > says he has something "just as good" knows that he falsifies. If he urges an in} ferior substitute it is to gain a few pennies greater profit. No matter how discour' aged you may be. write to Dr. Pierce for advice which he will send you free and which if followed, is bound to do you good. Batesbarg Notes. .
