The Lexington Dispatch! Burned April 25t,h; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WfiTNESDAY. NOVEMBER 22, 1899. We were just a little fearful that our dearly beloved neighbor across the Congaree had, like a naughty b >y, forgotten the claims of Lezingtun to his love and affection and bad wandered off iu the train of the beautiful, but nonetheless fickle dispensary scandal to whom be has been raviDer such marked and devoted 4 ? w attention recently. We were mist iken, however, for the star eyed sorcerer of the Congaree has returned to his first love and renewed his "sitting up" to the comely and cbarmiDg damsel. We don't know but that the word "vertically," which appeared in the article which the State criticises so good humoredly, will answer the pur pose for which it was used just as well as the one we wrote. Whether or not the State intended to acknowloriorA that Columbia was unfortu nately handicapped by reason of the constitutional prohibition, "vertically," "horizontally," perpendicularly/' "centrifogally/'orin whatever position the State might assume, the fact remains that it did so, and that, too, both in and "under a headline." If it was not an acknowledment why did it want Columbia "unshakled? "Unshakled," from its prosperity No. ' Unshackled" from its political environment? Not a bit of it. But "unshackled" from the constitutional prohibition which forbade the city to increase her bonded indebtedness 1 cent, so that she could be free to raise the ways and means to provide a "sewage system" and a "system of water works." Our "intellectual faculties" are giving us no concern, we have plenty and some to spare. Don't your want to borrow some? The State will find it a very handy article to have around its office, lne State's $9,000,000 unfortunately for it, is for the present practically a myth, the most of it being exempt from taxation by municipal ordinance, which is commendable, just and proper. So the $9,000,000 cannot legitimately be considered as a whole. The State is never so funny as when it attempts~Tbi3^seriOTl^r^^.jll_o^ic of its logic makes a tired feeling tocome over up, and we cannot help exclaiming, "Have you seen George? Vice President of the Uuited States Hobait, died at his home in Paterson, N. J, yesterday, from heart failure after a lingering illness. Swansea News. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The Quarterly Conference of the Methodist fraternity met here yesterday to see after the interests of the denomination. Rev. Thomas Leitch is expected here today and intends to carry on a meeting for several days. Owing to a misunderstanding of Silas Hutto and the trustees of the school as to the conditions of carrying on th e eight months' school, he has refused to comply with their request and they have selected William Hawes of Brookland to teach the school. Mr. Hawes is s Lexington raised man and he comes well recommended. He is a graduate of the Leesville College and though young in years has had some experience in teaching, and will have the co-operation of the community to advance our children's intellectual and educational interests. Mr. Hawes makes his second week with satisfaction to the patrons of the school. Liok Jones, who sometime ago slew Fred Stevender here, after trying the evasion of the legal authorities for several weeks, has surrendered to Sheriff Caughman and is now in jail to await his trial. On Sunday night the infant child of Dr. J. L. Johnson, after a short j illness, died and was buried in the j graveyard near here. Rev. T. F. J Rivers conducted the religious ser- j vices. Boliver I. Hayes, a man well j known to the people of Lexington, I spent the day here today and was the j guest of the Hutto Brothers. Mrs. Paul E. Hutto is visiting her j auDt, Mrs. Adams, in Columbia. Mr. C S Roof is surveying off the ; town on Cedar creek on the Perry j extension of the Southern Railway, j Mr. Roof has called it Dewey Spiings, : but the railroad authorities know it j a9 Thor. Thor was the God of So- j briety aod soberness of our Saxon ancestors, and Thursday, or Tbors- ! day, was the day on which they wor- | shipped their god Thor. It is sin- ' cerely to be hoped that the name will j be an appropriate one and that the ! future town may be an up to date place in that very much needed particular. Mr. Bascomb Ivast has established a harness department to the iudua-! tiies of our tow n. Several mad dogs have been killed ! in this vicinity of late. There is a comely girl in our town j whom is considered by an anxious ' io ker or as the < n y pebble on the bench and his constant aim and hope seems to be to gather it in. Anothei young man seems to be seeking auother hidden treasure from Swansea's mines of worth and beauiy and ere ling we will expect more happy people added to our already contented multitude. The papers tell us that Leonides Lyon has married Miss Olivia Limb, and that the long expected and pre dieted time has come when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together. Mr. Hill has also married Mies Lillie Fountain and a fountain has become a hill. As great contrast as when Miss Jane Lemon of Aiken wedded Mr. Ebenrzer Sweet of Barn well. Some j:cnlar, poetic friend wrote the following lines: Tis strange what happy contrasts meet, With .T>?np and Hbenrzer. No loDger sour she becomes a Sweet, And be a lemon squeezer. Not long 8inee Mr. Knight of OraDgeburg married a beautiful girl, Miss Day of Lexington. Mr. Knight was of a dark complexion, and a very b'usteriDg and boisterous man and the bride a quiet lovely girl. The preacher, in pronouncing the ceremony said, that at the conclusion now we will see a fair and lovely day embrace a dark and stormy night. Spectator.

There tfM p are three most trying i iw ' times in every wornan's life: Tst?when ^|r|jg8PS^ girlhood blossoms &) into womanhood; 2d ?when motherhood is achieved ; 3d ? when the capacity for motherhood ceases (the change of life.) Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was devised to make these three periods safe and painless by restoring to vigorous health the organs involved. It soothes, heals, nourishes. It gives Nature just the help it needs. It is the only preparation of its kind devised bv a regularly graduated physician and skilled specialist in the diseases of women. Me - too - medicines are preparations without standing or success. They are the substitutes sold as " just as good." Having no record of their own, when Dr. Pierce's cures are referred to they crv life;t9QJ__me-too, like the cuckoo in a Swiss clock ^.Jton't accept me-too medicines for " Favorite Prescription." Mrs. M. Barnes, of Balls Ferry. Sliast,! Co. Cal.. writes: "My physician said I was suffering trovu the effects of ' change of life.' 1 ha.I heart disease. and female trouble and rheumatism. My head was so dizzy I could hardly stand up. When I began Dr. Pierce's medicines I improved right along. I took seven or eight bottles of the ' Favorite Prescription.'a teaspoonful three times a day. aud the ' Pleasant Pellets'at night. I feel as well as I ever did. I take great pleasure in recommendiug Dr. Pierce's medicines to suffering women. I think that they arc the best medicines in the world." ? Delmar Lots. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Pleasant weather. The health of the community is very good. Miss Dora Shirey entered school Monday and is boarding at Mr. H. E. Eargle's. Mr. J. W. Ballentine, of Newberry College, made a short visit home last week. A good many of our people went to the State Fair. They report a very nice time. Some people looked for the shower of meteors on the night cf the fourteenth, but failed to see it. The Delmar High School is on a boom. There have been G5 students enrolled already this session. Messrs W. P. Yaibrough and S F. Mitchell gave a temperance lecture at the Delmar High School building Tuesday night. Cadets J. E Ciughman and A. S. Shealy, of Ciemson, spent a couple days at the parental roof on their way home frcm the State Fair. There will be services at Mt. Hebron church on Thanksgiving Day. Conner stone services on Saturday following and dedication services on Sunday. All at 11 a. m. F. R. E. Delmar, S. C, Nov. IS, 1899. ? Leesville Notes.

Mr. S James Siuarf4 was born in Ansou coui ty, X 0 , May 22, 1S22, and died Jurn-8, 1K1W, in LisTHyeai, in Lexington, S. C. Becoming a resident of Lexington wbeu very young, be settled in business beie, and was united in matiiage to Mies ILbec.'a Coiley, and continued hie residence in Lexington to the time of his deceased. His death was due to paralysis, which for a time he bravely resisted, but to which 1 e finally yielded. Asa man be wis industrious, courteous and kind: aod his many deeds of cbaiity and thoughtful kindness will long be remembered by his neighbors end fiiends. His cheerful countenance, his urbane manners, his lavish hospitality made him dear to all our hearts. . We shall miss him upon our streets, but being a great lover cf home his familv shall miss him more than all. But he has left to the world in which he lived so long, a beautiful legacy, a lovely family, who were fondly devoted to him and, who are a blessing to humanity. To his stricken widow, two sons and four daughters we give comfort by the sweet words of inspiration. "He is not dead, but sleepeth." He was interred in St. Stephen's cemetery, where he sleeps to await the coming of his Lord. The funeral exercises were conduct ed by Revs. W. M. Harden and W. D. Quick, in the presence of a large company of friends and acquaintances. The pastor of the family, R.v. J. G Graicben, was with the departed a short time before he passed away, which time was spent in prayer and sweet communion with Jesus, to whom we committed our dear friend never to see him again on earth. As we bid our beloved brother and friend adieu we say of him, "Out of today's sin and sorrow. luto a blissful tomorrow, Into a day without gloom; Out of a land tilled with sighiDg, Land of the dead and the dyinjj, luto a land without a tomb."

Our people, as a general thing, appear to be in good spirit and we hope you are too, Mr. Editor, since your rounds on the chase after the mighty dollar. Our "popular" widower and jolly depot agent, has long wore the belt as being the most j >lly fellow in our town and community; but he has lost it since the appearance of a new boarder in the home of Mr. J.

We welcome these fellow instructors in our midst and i wish for them an abundance of sue- ! cess. Another victory won, but not by Admiral Dewey.

The Thornwell Orphanage, Under the presidency of its found er, Rev. Dr. Jacobs, is an institution for the education and technical train ing of orphan bojs and girU. It is located in Clinton, South Carolina. Nine handsome stone cottages house the childieu. In addition there are school buildings, general dining hall, Industrial and Technical schools, library and shops. A farm of an hundred acres gives the boys oppor tuoity for learniDg that business. These orphans represent fifteen different State*,?'every Southern State) and their parentage was of eleven different denominations of Christmas. They are received at the tender age of six, and after being taught to take care cf themselves, go out to lucrative situations. The cost of surpport is comparatively small. Five dollars will board, clothe and school a boy or girl for a month. This could not be done, were it not that the young people are a busy set and practice self help. The money that cares for them is that which each benevolent individual giy?&, as moved by his own heart, or the Father of all. There is not a State in the Union that does dc t contribute. No one compels. No one is reponsible for their support. Often, there is but a day's supply ahead; but never, in the 25 years of its existence, has there been want He that says: 41 am the Father of the fatherless," seems to have a hand in this.
