The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. 0., WSDN c-SDAY. JANUARY 3. 1?0). The General Assembly cf South Carolina will meet in annual session next Tuesday at 12 m. We know of no measure at present that will ex ftfi miifii dehatA as that of the wh's'iy question. This qi e stion has loDg since ceased to b9 a problem. The dispensary system, so far as restricting the sale of intoxicating l'quors is concerned, has solved it to the satisfaction of all fair minded people and reasonable temperance advocates. In the main only disgruntled politicians and the advocates of open saloons, under the guise of the dispensary system, are agitating the repeal of the dispensary law now. These people, seemingly, have reach^ ed the last ditch of opposition and have concentrated their forces on one issue alone, namely local option. They < gathered a set of arguments which have plausible grounds only in their ^-imagination and present them with the iiqpe that the General Assembly will ove.-^ide and trample UDder foot the wish of the people which has been expressed election after election clearly and unoil. tikably through the ballot box in no uncertain sound. They want Charleston, Columbia aad Greenville, where the opposition to the dispensary law is most pronounced, to say whether they will have local option, dispensary or prohibition,,when it is a foregone conclusion. that should this privilege be given them they will without exception vote for the first named system. To this end Senator Appelt, of Clarendon county, has prepared and will introduce a bill during the coming session r>rovidinsr for the submission of this question to the voters of the State. The people having already settled this question to their entire satisfaction, are unwilling to fight over the same ground or thrash over the same straw. The proposition ie illtimed, unnecessary and totally out of place and the bill should be killed without debate, and thus save the taxpayers the expense of a discussion The only thing that remains for the General Assembly to do is to amend and change the system in the management of the dispensary. We want to return to the old way of managing it in all its simplicity and efficiency, so that the best results can be obtained and the greatest good accomplished. Do this and receieve from a satisfied and contented people the plaudit of well done good and V* faithful servants. We charge our Senator and members of the House of Representatives to scrutinize closely the proposition to extend the limits of the city of Columbia. If it is proposed to take in territory on the "eastern side of iL. n... . _ - *J* i t i ice uongaree no opposition snouia be given to the bill. Bat if it is proposed to encrouch upon the territory of Lexington county, then it should be fought for all it is worth. The people of Lexington will watch closely our delegation and by their work during the present session will they stand or fall. "We are satisfied that our people do not want annexation and it is wrong to put them to the trouble and expense of holding an election to decide something that has already been decided in the minds of an overwhelming majority r of oar people. We warn our people in advance to sign no paper presented to them without first carefully reading the same. Take no man's word as to the nature of its contents, and if opposed to the scheme, which so far has been advocated only by the Columbia State and a few political enemies, thrust it from you as you would push a rattlesnake from your path. Have nothing to do with the unholy thing. Tuesday of next week the Legislature of the State of South Carolina will meet in General Assembly. The most important measure which will ^ receive the attention of the solons EH will be the dispensary law. No H doubt this law will bs materially, if Ww . not radically, amended, so a9 to sim plify its working machinery and make scandals well nigh impossible. Another measure which should pass at this session is an Act prohibiting the use of the coat*of-arms of the State for any purposes whatever ex- i cept upon official papers and by offi j cera of the law. The coat-of-arms j caD be as badly disgraced by its use i in other wavs than by beiD2 embla ! zoned upoD dispensary bottles. r ! The Kentucky General Assembly j has been organized by the Demo- j cratic caucus. The House stands 58 Democrats and 42 Republicans. The Senate is largely Democratic. \ Goebel. the late Democratic nominee ; for G >vernor, h is filed his grounds J of contest containing nine charges, i Ex Senator B! ickburn has receivfd the Democratic caucus nomination ?for United States Senator aud he will succeed Senator Lindsey. | ; We have j i>t passed the line which divides the old f via the le v year | fall of h ipenad j >yous expectations j to be derived from ihe pleasures an I j duties which await us in the days that are con e. Licking bickwird over the events which have transpired during the year that has j i>t closed, the year j 1899 has been rematkable in mote respects than one. N j other year in the history of this country has such wonderful strides beeo made in the I progress of the sciences, art, raanu- | faciure, agriculture, finance and commerce?indeed all the varied branches of the industry and business of our resourceful country have moved for 1 ward with a rapidiy that has been as j astonishing as it has been gratifying ! In no field Las this impetus been j more experienced than it has right here in our State. South Cirolina has far outstripped the balance of her Southern sisters in the departI rnents of trade, manufacture comI merceand their allied industries, and their handmaid, agriculture, has upon the whole, flourished as the green bay tree, and all this, too, wonderful to relate, has been accomplished under a Reform administration, which, a few years ago, it was asserted would bring ruin and calamity upon the industrial and business iuteie^ts of the State. Where are the calam ity howlers now? Where are the false prophets who arose in those days and prophesized such direful | catastrophes should Farmer Ben and the one gallus boys be entrusted with the government of the State? Have those predictions been realized? Let the business records of the past decade speak for themselves and if tbey are rightly interprtted it will be found that Smth Carolina has never enjoyed such an era of prosperity as it has since the farmers have been in the saddle. We have received a copy of the declaration and call for .the National Anti-Trust Conference which reads I as follows: ' We believe the criminal conspiracies in restraint of trade commonly known as Trusts, which so alarmingly chacacterizs the present times, are a menace to libei ty. They close the door9 of business opportunity to a'l but the rich and powerful. They improverish the producer and consumer. They degrade labor. They have seized upon the avenues of transportation and poisoned the fountains of public information. They debauch the elective franchise. They are public enemies. Unless they are overthrown there will be established in free America a monied oligarchy on the one hand and a serfdom of the masses of the people on the other. They mu3t be destroyed or free government is lost. The only power capable of successfully combatting the tyranny of these gigantic capitalistic monopolies is the aroused and organized hosts of the people to whom the government and the country rightfully belong and in whom all power of right inheres. "Our people was born of the love of liberty which in 1776 impelled the fathers to rebel against the tyranny of the English monarch and the special privileges of the British aristocracy, and which inspired them to pledge to the cause of human freedom their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. 4 Tne same love of liberty destroyed the aristocratic institution of slavj ery, a power once fortified in the courts and entrenched in the constitution. That same spiiit now will suffice to overthrow the new slavery and tyranny of the Trusts. 'To order to restore the equal rights of the people and deliver them from the criminal despoiliation of : these monopolistic combinations, it is imperative that the special piivileges which created and foster them be uprooted and forever destroyed. ''This herculean task can only be accomplished by the organiz ition of the lovers of freedom in every part of the republic and through the persistent and determined efforts of ! a united people. "To this end a National Anti-Trust Conference is hereby called to meet in the city of Chicago on the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, February 12, 1900. "Patriotic citizens from all states and territories duly accredited an .l in full sympathy with the objects above named, and representatives of known Anti Trust organizations, are ; invited to meet together in said con- ! ference." This is numerously sigu by some ^ of the most prominent men of the ! Baited States. Aoy of our readers who desire to j contribute to the ' American Trans- ; vual Fund" to aid widows and orphans of the Boers can do 60 by j sending their contributions to George \ W. VanSicleD, New York city. Tne Central National Bink of , Columbia and the Loan and Exchange ! Bank of the same city have done a splendid busiuess during the past year. These are sound financial institutions and are very accommodating in their dealings with their j patrous. We recommend them to the consideration of our people.

Already a weclomed j visitor in thousands of homes in this j county it shall be our eflfjrt to make I it more so to tho3e it now enters and to many more. The Dispatch now goes to nearly every State in the Union and ''covers L xington and adjiiLing counties like a blanket." and it is, therefore one of the best advertising mediums in the State fir those who waDt to reach the peoph. O4* JUST DRAGGING AROUND." How many thousands vO*, of women understand the sad and pitiful meaning of that simple phrase: " Just dragging Women even*and a mission JSL vuijipiisu in /fj HPT'Tflfl R?v this world will ap\5 F# T?i fc J predate instantly l1 the disheartened |]i ,rW I spirit of Mrs. Mattie Venhans, of Tioga, Hancock County. Illinois. "I had been sick for seven years." she says; " not i:i bed. but just dragging myself around. At last I took three bottles of Dr] Pierce s Favorite Prescription and five of ' Golden Medical Discovery.* and it is imftossible to describe in words the ? >od these medicines did me. My husband says ' Golden Medical Discovery' is the best medicine he ever tried for a cough. No praise is too high for Dr. Pierce's medicines." Another ladv. Mrs. R. P. Monfort. of Lebanon, Warren Co.. Ohio. says. " I think Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery the finest medicine on record. I have taken* a number of mottles and it is the only medicine that relieved my terrible headaches." Women who suffer should write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. X. Y. He will send them the best professional advice that can be had anywhere in America and entirely without charge. Neither the " Golden Medical Discovery" nor the "Favorite Prescription" contains any alcohol to inebriate or create a morbid craving for stimulants. ' Every woman should own a copy of his splendid book " The Common .Sense Medical Adviser." It is the grandest medical book for poDular reading ever written. It contains a fund of knowledge of precious value to women. It has over a thousandpages elaborately illustrated with engravings and colored plates. The first great edition of more than half-a-million copies was sold at Si-50 each. The profit from this induced Dr. Pierce to carry out his cherished intention of issuing a free edition one copy of which in paper-covers will be sent for the bare cost of mailing, 21 one-cent stamps, or a heavier cloth-bound copy for 31 stamps. ? Selma Dots. To the EJitor of the Dispatch: The Christmas holidays have pass ? -i 1 ,i_ eel on quietly ana pieasanuy. A beautiful and appropriate service was rendered at Mf. Olivet church Christmas day by the Sunday schools of that church and of Mt. Vernon and White Rock. | The same service, by the same schools, is to be rendered at White Rock on New Year's day. Mr. J. Win. Hilti wander, of the South Carolina College, has returned to hia studies at that institution, after spending the holidays at his father's home. Mr. Perry Aoiick, who holds a lucrative position with the Columbia Mills company, spent a few days j with his parents. He also has re- j turned to his wo:k.

Kr. S. li Grcss' Visit Scuta. To the Editor of the Dispatch: My first visit to Mississippi was (0 Leak county where I found the different families of the late Iitv. J. N. Derrick very conveniently settled around each other, and it afforded me a great deal of pleasure to visit them and their many kind neighbors. Many of the good citizens there regretted very much to relate to me the circumstances of the horrible ciirne of the killirg and burning of the wife and four children of Mr. Gamble. I saw the ruins of the Uaii^a i Vv r\ n? V| fil'fi OA/til l\A/*lr uuuai*, iuc pjrj o ?ucic caiu v/uuj lay burned into crisps, and saw the peach tree that stood within a few feet of the house where the guilty negro, Jo3 Lefore, was tied to with wood piled around him and burned to death. There were several rem nants of his bones there that did not burn. I also saw the negro Frank Nash, who begged to apply the torch to him, which request was granted He only lived seveu minutes after the torch was applied. All the good citizens there regret very much that there was a necessity for such a deplorable affair. Mr. Gjmble has only one child and bis home is now in Alabama. In visiting the friends and neighbors in Attalla county I found them to be sociable and kind and they seem to have a special likiDg for any one from South Carolina. While there I heard the Rev. J. L. Derrick (formerly of Newberry, S. C,) preach a very interesting sermon in the New Hope Lothern church. In viewing the cemetery there I found the resting places of four ministers, all graduates of the Lexington Theoligical Seminary. The names cf these ministers being R?v. Brown, Stingly, Sheppard, J. N. Derrick, and also the grave of Mr. Jonathan Wingard, who once lived here, who now has a very large number of relatives here. In the town of Koscuisko, in a Mr Cunj's harness store, I found the faithful servant, Charles, that belonged to the Rev. Dr. Hazelius, at this place over 50 years ago. He wa9 powerfully glad to see me and to hear from his old home and many friends, white and colored. After leaving these two counties I then went about 80 or 90 miles to JacksoD, the capital of the State, to the Governor's home, where I found two of my first cousins, the daughters of uncle John Riuch whom I had not seen in 45 years, when they left Lexington, S C. After arriving at the home of Gov. A. J. MeLaurio, who married the youngest daughter, Laura, of undo John Raucb, and being cordially welcomed by his family, they telegraphed to their surrounding families and to Dr. J. M R.urch at Ei wards, that I had come and to come and see me, and all be together on Thank9 giving day. A goodly number of them came and we had a delightful time among these relatives and their large families, whom I had not seen in so long a time. While in Jackson the Governor was unremitting in his attention to me, and his kindness I can never forget. He showed me the greatest courtesy and took me around to all the State institutions located in the city and other points of interest that he thought would n rv> lien or> 1 ir>f ornef mn aiiiuoc cua iuvviv.oi ui<u? I went home with Dr. J. M JRiuch on Thanksgiving evening to the town of Elwards and remained with him and his family who showed me every attention and kindness, which was appreciated. He took me all over bis beautiful town and showed me a great many interesting things and places in the town. He told me his brother William aud family were in San Francisco, California and that he was practicing law there. The most important questions that those people asked was about their relations and ft iends that they It ft behind in South Carolina. Then the next was the advantages of our countiy they did not have, such as railroads running through the different localitits of cur country and the cotton manufacturing mills which are of so much importance to us, and the planting of wheat and fine mills we have to make flmr, etc. A great portion of the country out there is very hilly and UDlevel while other sections are level and fine. The soil is of different colors though mostly of a light yellow color, and almost entirely freed from rocks. The chief products being cotton and corn, mostly confined to cotton. Mr. John R;uch was a prominent citizen and noted echoed teacher in his day and time, and while here be owned the 4,old George R^brts p'ace," on W.se's feriy road, which is now owned and occupied by Mrs. Gracio FiekK He left Lexington fur Misfcibtjippi in the fall of 18dJ and di'tl Feb. 18, 1SS'.). His wife, aunt Epsie. died March 10, 1803. Walter wat* killed in frou* of Chattanooga, TVnr , N ,v. 30, 1S04. William, as stated abuvp, Uvea in S m Fiancisco and has a wife and two chilli en. Mellville, left this place at the age of ten years and now resides in Ed- j wards, whete he is engaged iu a pros- ^ perous business. He has a wife and t live chiidren. Pieston wft9 about six years old when he life here, and wa9 accidentally killed in a hotel at Edwards. Juhn Jacob, born to the couple after reaching Mississippi, died when quite young. Amanda resides in Jjcksou. Laura is the wife of Or jvernor MoLaurin. The above bit of History will doubt- ^ less be quite interesting to many I relatives friencla and acquaintances of Mr. John Riuch who still live in this county. Deafness Cannot be Cured. < By local applications, as they can- ? not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu a tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect . hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and = unless the inflammation cau be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucousurs faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that caunot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. Sold by all druggists. Price 75c. +. Swansea Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Christmas has come and gone and maDy vissitudes of men and business have transpired. Also, another year with its responsibilities are on us and a new era and its accumulations will soon heap their liabilities. The visitors to the neighborhood and from it elsewhere during the the holidays are too numerous to mention. Many happy Christmas dinners have b.; en eaten and many chickens and turkeys have paid the penalty by their lives. Spectator and family have enjoyed the pleasures of a weddiDg and a marriage feast with relations in Orangeburg county. The occasion was a happy one, but no one was made merry on new wine. The rise in cottcn has made our ] farmers more hopeful and a determination to meet the demands of the new year is evident everywhere. On Saturday morning of the 23d, after five o'clock in the morning, a ' disastrous fire broke out in Swansea ( and destroyed the Gantt Hotel and a store house belonging to Dr. J. L Johnson. It was with great difficulty toat the 3tore of RistA Bro and a three roomed cottage, also owned by Dr. Johnson, were saved. The hotel was owned by Thomas Martin and estimated to be worth about 32,000. Over it was au insurance of $1,150. Beneath it were two commodious store rooms, one of which wa3 used as a furniture store by Rist & Bro., and in which also was the harness business of BiscombRast. A total interest of R ist Brothers of over $1,000 on which was an insurance of about $G00 The store house of Rist & Bro. was damaged and a heavy damage on the stock of goods was sustained in carrying out and t bringing back. Tbey have occupied ' the entire time since in trying to t arrange for business again. j The fire broke out in the store room of Dr. J. L. JohcsoD, which for several weeks had been unoccupied by any one at all. 0?er this store and the three roomed cottage which was saved, Dr. Johnson held an 1 i insurance of $50J. The value of the o store by the carpenters here i3 said * to be from $200 to $250. It is agreed 1 on all sides that the fire was the work of au incindary. Mrs. L. V. Gantt kept the hotel and sustained an almost total loss of her entire outfit of household and kitchen furniture, and also clothing of herself and family, over all of which there was no insurance 1 _ i 1 L J ?

Mrs. Gantt and family have the sympathy of the whole people and have received many donations from our citiz ms in token of their friendship and kind feeling. Rev. W. C. Gleatan has arrived to take the place vacated by our esteemed friend T. J. McFarlane. Daring the holidays a marriage gladdened the home of our worthy fellow citizen, J. P. Lucas. His daughter Cjra has become the happy j bride and future companion of Darl j iug Mack. A novel scheme to pay doctors' bills ha3 been invented by one of our ingenious farmers.
