MDHanHBBaBHHKaHR The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juh 19,1894. ^ G. M. HABMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WSINFSDAY. JANUAIY i7. ltOO. Through the County. List Monday we resumed our chuse after the ever fleeing Almighiy Dollar. The weather bad conside:aMy moderated, but the rise in the thermometer brought rain and its attendant tvils which were about as disagreeable in which to take a drive as the biting- and stinging cold cf the preceding week. Notwithstanding the mud and slush, we arrived at Wessinger, right sidfi nn with r.are. and finding the people all ready, we dispatched our work in double quick time and hastened on to our next appointment. Ariiving at the Lome of Mr. Josh Sbealy, and finding the latch string on the outside, we were soon made comfortable and was entertain*d by our old friend, who is an interesting c mversationalist. Mrs. Shealv prepared excellent meals which we heartily enjoyed. We spent all day Tuesday in the thriving and prosperous little town of Chapin and found the place on tie qui vive over the prospects of soon baviDg a cotton factory in opera tion there. Capt. R. W. Frick and J. S. Wessinger are the leaders in this prospective enterprise and are leaving no stone unturned to make it a success. There is no reason why they should not succeed in their undertaking. All that is needed is for each individual to put his shoulders to the wheel and give it a push. Tuesday night we spent beneath the hospitable roof of Mr. James B. Addv, near the Cross Rjads. Mr. Addy is a prominent citizen of our i _ n i 11 # n 1 county, ana Demg wen miormea aDa taking an active interest in everything pertaining to the avocation of ? farming, his friends hope to see him promoted from a Supervisor of Registration to a more lucrative office in the near future. He has just completed and moved into his new residence. Here we met his father, Mr. Jake Addy, who is one Of our war comrades and er.j >yed going over with him the memorable and stirring scenes of long ago. o o Bright and early Wednesday we were at the Cross Roads, where we found the sturdy farmers of that neighborhood leathered in immhprR r? O " to list their property, and consequently we experienced no vexatious delay. Wednesday afternoon, we were at Peak, and comfortably lodged in the hotel presided over by Mis. Stuck, who entertained us right royally with excellent fare and a comforta ble bed. She certainly entertaii s lavishingly at a moderate charge. We met a large number of warm friends, whom we were glad to shake hands with. At this place the rain poured in torrents and delayed our departure for our next appointment some hours, and at last we htd to leave in the rain. At Spring Hill Thursday, the Ux payers met us already prepared for business, which was quickly transacted to the satisfaction of all concerned. White Bock was the next place on the schedule and we arrived there Thursday afternoon and found a big crowd anxious to get through the business on hand so as to get to their various homes before the shades of night came creeping on. We took dinner with that substantial and enterprising citizen, Mr. D. A Richardson. By special invitation we spent the night with Mr. Wm. Seller, who resides on the road to Mrs. Busby's, oar next appointment. lie is an otber old war comrade and is one of the survivors of the now thinned ranks of the 20th regiment. At Mrs. Busby's Friday morning a large crowd of the faithful sons of toil responded to the Auditor's call and came out from their homes to tell his representative the amount of their worldly possessions in dollars and cents. Our services were called into requisition to assist our friend Mr. Addy, so as to complete the work in time to reach our next place of stopping. Friday evening and Saturdav morning we tfere at Irmo, pleasantly domiciled in the pretty residence of Mr. Elias Metz, who charitably looked after our comfort and that of j our horse. Saturday afternoon found us at Mr. Robert Hook's, near Leaphart's, where we enjoyed a splendidly prepared dinner and erj >}ed very much the presence of his charming and interesting family. Saturday night we were at home toasting our toes on our own hearth stone and quietly erj *jing a much needed rest. Oa this trip we noticed that such < a large quantity of small grain had 1 i been planted, that many farmers j have found it necessary to open up ! ] old fields and natural forests for the ! < cotton crop. All the people have ' started the new year with a vim and j energy which betokens do good fo* weeds and grass and with brigb' h"pes of an abundant aLd nmuneru t vo harvests. TOE^BABY^ the coming of a new and precious' baby into the world first feel, is that they may not themselves be able to go safely through the trying ordeal, and secondly conies the fear that the darling little baby's life or health or general wellbeing may somehow be sacrificed. But there is no real need of apprehension in either direction. If any woman who is expecting to become a mother Ill C ~?.11nvrtnmla r\f \Trc Orriti Will Lilt LAtUIIUlS. VI VKKI Stiles, of Downing, Dunn Co., Wis., the most perfect confidence mav be felt in the happy outcome of this critical period, both for the mother and the child. ' I have been intending to write to you ever 6ince my baby was born," says Mrs. Stiles in an interesting letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo. X. Y.. " in regard to what your ' Favorite Prescription ' has done for me. I cannot praise it enough, for 1 have not been as well for five years as I now am. In July last I had a baby boy. weight 11 lbs. I was sick only a short time, ancl since I got up I have not had one sick day. I have not had any womb trouble since I got up. I was uot only surprised myself but all of my friends here are surprised to see me so well," The properties of this grand " Prescription " and what it has accomplished for thousands of women, are more fully descril>ed in one chapter of the People's Common Sense Medical Adviser by R. V. Pierce, M. D., a splendid thousand-page illustrated volume. It wili be sent free paper-bound, for 21 one-cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing only; or, clothbound for 31 stamps. The "Favorite Prescription" is entirely free from alcohol, unlike nearly all other proprietary medicines for women, which merely give a temporary stimulation and are likelv to induce a morbid, unhealthy craving. The " Favorite Prescription " gives energy and nerve-tout that is real, healthy and permanent. ? - - Batesb'irg News. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The new year has come and we cannot escape its responsibilities, its penalties and let us hope its pleas UiCB. Oar community has cause for gratitu le, for blessiDgs in the past and we may reasonably augur well for the future, but sorrow is the lot of all people, and we of course, cannot escape. Death has invaded the sanctity of our community and bourne away a willing victim. Mrs. Augie M. Lowell, a good woman, loved and respected by all who knew her, has passed to the reward for which she had labored. The di.ughte: of a minister of the Gospel and the widow of another. Her opportunities for spiritual development were good and she improved them with all her energy. She now lies in our cemetery and the eulogy of her pastor, Doctor Wiikins, was pathetic and true to life. There is some sickness caused by mumps, in our towD, but otherwise, the health of our people is good. A Vw* o f o v\1 a aa Ua?a a aidiiiag^ uao iciqcu piacc ucic since I last wrote. Miss Lucia Laodrum was married to the Rev. Hugh Murcbison, of the Presbyterian church at Edisfco Island, S. C., and the well wishes of all follow her in the sacred relation and calling to which she has dedicated her life. The familiar face of Assistant Attorney General, U. X. Gunter. E-q , has been resting a ehoit while under the parental roof and Prof. D. W. Dmiel, of Clemson college, has favored us recently with a visit of a few days. Trade has been a big thing with our merchants and keeps up astonishingly well. Trie Factory has not started to running yet, but a large force of hands are getting it in readiness to begin in a month or so. The com-' pany's houses are full and they will build more in order to accommodate their force of employees. Quarterly meeting was held in the Methodist church Saturday and Sunday, and the Rev. Mr. Hodges, Pre siding Elder, preached yesterday to a large congregation. Mrs. Kate Kernaghan, widow cf the late T. J. Kernaghan, who has been with her daughter, Mrs. Mutfhpws in rtnlumViifl tinnp hor Vine. band's death, has returned home. She has left her daughter at the Columbia Female college, but Masters Leslie and Eirl are with their mother. A number of changes has been made and a great many visitors coming and going so much so that I find it impossible to keep up with them. Occasional. January 15, 1000. M CURES WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS.

HOUSE Since cur report on the outside closed, the Legislature has settled down to bu-iuess under a full head of steam introducing new measures, killing some and pasbing others to the different readings. The following ate some of the most important measures which have received consid eration up to yesterday: There was the annual fight over the resolution giving the use of th > hall of the House of R^pre entat ves to the South Carolina Club for dicing purposes. After a hard fight the use of the hall was granted on the condition that the C ub make an endemnity bond for whatever damage might be d >ne the hall by reason of the ball being given there. The county court bill safely passed after about thirty counties had been exempted from its provisions. We do not know whether L?xington is among the fortunate ones by being exempted. The House has without a dissenting voice passed to its third reading the bill repealing the Income Tax Act. After a spirited debate the bill providing for a record of marriages by imposing a small fee for recording the license, passed its third reading. Resolutions looking to extending the time for the payment of taxes further than already extended, aDdof fixing a later day than that now fixed for the termination of the time for paying taxes, both of which failed. The Senate bill lookiDg to the readjustment of the salaries of county auditors was killed. The bill providing for extra courts when needed in any county was passed without opposition. The ways and means committee proposed a new plan for operating the engrossing department. The bill was given its second reading. The bill providing for the registration of births, marriages and deaths, and for reporting infectious and contageous diseases, met with opposition, but was passed. The bill relative to the protection of paitridges went through to its second reading without any trouble. Tne bill to limit the number of acres pf land in this State which an alien may own, was killed. Tae bill to regulate the ownership of game and providing for violation of the same, was killed. A bill has been introduced to reimburse the Carolina National Bank for two notes which the bank discounted for W. A. Neal as Superintendent of the penitentiary. Mr. Edrd's resolution to make sessions of the general assembly a question to be voted upon in the next election, passed by exactly two thirds majority, but his other bill to make the terms four years in length was killed. Messrs. Montgomery, Marion and Djkes were appointed a committee on the part of the House to arrange the programme of exercises in memory to late Governor Ellerbe, which is fixed for tomorrow. A bill declaring that preference shall be given to counties desiring to il f.i. * 1- _? iL. t aire me convicts ur wora on me puulic works for such counties for $4 \ per month, and the county to pay all expenses of guards, transportation and medical attention, was passed after a warm and lengthy debate. SENATE. The bill relating to jury commissioners received its third reading. The bill providing that the weight of a bushel of bolted corn meal shall be 46 pounds passed to a third reading. The concurrent resolution adopted by the house setting aside Thursday as the day for tributes to the memory of the late Governor Ellerbe was received and Senator Brown, of Marion, moved the adoption. The committee substitute for resolution to investigate the VirginiaCarolina chemical company was adopted on Senator Graydon's motion, and the resolution was passed to the third reading. The bill to require clerks and registers to satisfy of records certain mortgages of real estate and to prescribe the forms, passed its third reading. The president announced that he had appointed Senators W. A Brown and Livingston with the house committee on arranging memorial to Gov. Jblllerbe. After the introduction of new bills and passing bills from first to second reading the senate adjourned. MARRIED.

Died near Hilton, S. C., January 10,1900, Mr. John Kibler, aged ?9 years, G months and 4 days. The circumstances of Ibis death makes it very sad. He with a friend, were hauling logs on a log cart. "While the log was being raised, by some mean?, the sweep flew back, and hit him on the head. He never regained consciousness and death came in less than a day. Mr. Kibler was a quiet, unassuming, peaceable man, harming no one and a member of Mt. Olivet church, Spring Hill, S. C. His body was carried to St. Paul's church, in Newberry county, and laid to rest near his old home. He leaves a wife, one brother, two sisters and an aged mother, with many fiiends to mourn his departure. S C B. Now is the time to sow seed for an early garden.
