Tlie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juh 19.1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WELN^SDAl. JAN UAL Y 31. 1000. The National House of Representatives has decided by an overwhelming rnfcj nity to unseat B. H. Roberts, member elect from Utah. Commenting upon this action the Charleston Evening Post says: 4\Rjberts of TTroh Viot Koon the seat in Congress to which he was duly and properly elected, and a dangerous precedent hcs been establi&hed by the House of R presentativee, which will probably rise to plague atd and threaten in the future. * * * Bit there was no authority to bar him from entrance to the House.'' Our contemporary i3 wrong in its con elusions. It has fallen into the error, * like many others, in aseuming that the fight against the seating of Mr. Rjb erts as member from Utah was because of his religious faith. This wiannf whnllv tho ease.-but Mr. Roberts was denied his seat because he lived in opened violation of the laws of his country and flagrantly disregarded not only the religious, but the social code. His doctrine and practice are egainet the principles of the American people for whom he was to assist in making laws for their g .vernment. The Constitution give* tie House the right to decide as to the qualification of its members and if the moral character of a member 1 elect is such as to make his presence undesirable it becomes the duty of the*House to exclude him just as i!; would a thief, a liar, or a libertine. Tois is all there is in the incident. No dagerous precedent has been est blished; only a wholesome note of warning has been given to the elec tors to elect only men whose social characters are above reproach to rep r .-sent them in Congress. The State Senate is still debating the proposition to charge the law in reference to the government of the dispensary system of controlling the sale of whisky. So far no practical results have followed the discussion of the problem, and none are likely fn f .llnw. The indications are that the Senate will retain the Board of Control system of management. There is a proposition before this body, with a fair chance of a sucessful passage, to make the County Board of Control consist of the Treasurers and Auditors of the county and the Intendant of the town where the dispensary is located and make the local dispenser elective by the people. Should this proposition be successful it will, in our opinion, weaken the dispensary law in the good graces of many persons who are now classed among its most ardent supporters It will place the dispensary in the midst of political strife and cause it to become of bad repute among that element of its friends who have given it their support for what it has accomplished in the past and what is hoptd to be accomplished through it in the future along the line of restricting the whisky evil. No dispenser, no matter how popular he might have been before his election, who will do his full duty and conscientiously and faithfully enforce the dispensary law can b9 reelected, thereby making an inducement for a dispenser to pamper to the baser elements of human nature to train votes. It will oDen wide the " o ? J. doors to fraud aDd corruption in the management of local dispensaries and prove a fruitful cause for scenes of fights, murder and other infractions of law and order by the free use of whisky on election days in exchange for votes. The life of the dispensary depends upon keeping it as far out of politics as possible. We trust the Honorable Senate will think twice before it acts and decide to let "well enough alone." "It is bard to know which to admire the most, the nerve of the S:ate ia desiring to remove the L?xington C >unty court house and parapherne1 a to Columbia, or the gaul of the Saluda people who would bodily take from Aiken county one of its rail r>ads."?Aiken Journal and Review. "True bill as to the State: we want to haul the Lexington court house over the Congaree aDd make it into a new and sp'eDdid State capitol in order to satisfy the economic demands of a contemporary."?Columbia State. And when the Dew and splendid State capitol shall have been completed the people of Columbia can use the old Lexington court house for a place in which to incarcerate love sick swains who have openly avowed matrimonial intentions to four fair daughters of Eve to prevent them from committing that crime for which Brigham Roberts was ex frnrn C-irnyrfl&s. Nothing flUUCU tbec will be wasted. Virginia has adopted the Jim Crow car system aDd hereafter the races will be seperated wlen riding on a railroad in that State. The people of Yorkville have voted a t x of en additional mill for the purpose of lightning the streets with Uctiicity. Now, let Lexiugton fol- 1 low. ' We are indc b'ed to C< 1 D J G jffi h for a c py t.f lb^ ancu-d re >ort of ibe Board of Directors at d the Superiou-udeot of the Statt Penitentiary, for the fitc?l \ea; 1S99 Tbe ado1 ni3^ratioo of Super intendent G-iffi.h baa been mire ban satisfactory to ul) concerned He has done excellently well \vb< n all the circumstances with which 1 e bas had to contend are coDt-ideied After paving all outstanding ob'.i^a tions, says tbe leport, and ?10,000, into tbe State treasury, there is p. balanco on hand of ?3,450 2S, wbiob will be sufficient to keep the finances of the institution on a cash b..sis There is also an abundance of corn, peap, potatces and forage on Land, fully enough to supply the entire institution for the current year. An association of cranks known to fame as the American I\ag Association, is pressing an active campaign before CjDgress for legislation to make it a statutory cffence to desecrate the Stars and Stripes. This legislation is entirely unnecessary when a totteriDg and decaying king dom like Spain does the desecrating act; for Uncle Sam will without urg iDg unlose his war dogs and chase fcer from the sea". But a nation like England can desecate the flig with impunity and Uncle Sarn sulk* awhile and then grin3 and bears it. In speaking on his proposition to reduce the salary of the State L'qucr Commissioner from $3,000 per anoum, as proposed by the Graydon Jispensary bill, to $1,900, Senator Sheppard, who is himself a Conservative, last Wednesday paid the Reform Government a neat little com pliment, which is forceful because it i3 true, when he said that "since 1890 there had not been lost a cent thiotigh the [State] Treasurer." The proposition of the Saluda people to tear up that portion of the Southern Railway from Perry to Batesburg has been killed by the General Assembly of South Carolina, be it said to its honor. The people residing along that road, both in Lexington and Aiken counties, made a gallant and effective fight to retain the road, and the Dispatch extends its congratulations cn the outcome of the fight and r<j >ices with them over the success of their efforts. A press dispatch 6ays that the first actual test cf strength between the Republican and Democratic forces in Kentucky iu the GoebelTaylor gubernatorial contest came on Januiry 27tb, aDd by the admis sion of Republican leaders proved a signal victory for Gcebel, the Dem ocratic contestee. Thirty-eight deaths are reported to have occurred in Honolula in one day from the bubonic plague, and the people are said to be panic stricken. STOP WOMEN from exercising common sense? You can't do it. As the old rhyme runs: "The man's a fool who tries by force or skill To turn the current of a woman's will For if she will, she will, you may <iepend on't Ami If she won't she won't, so there's an end on't." Common sense tells a woman that when she's sick she needs a doctor. Common sense tells a woman that in disease the first question is not of man or woman, but of recognized medical ability. Common sense applied to advertisements which invite women to "write to a woman because she is a woman and understands women," will show the women so appealed to, that it's no use to write to any woman about disease unless that woman is a physician. Common sense used in the reading of advertisements will discover that no claim is made in them to a physician's knowledge or diploma. And that is not because the claim would be morally culpable as a lie, but because it would "be legally punishable as a fraud. The law permits you to masquerade as a doctor in an advertise 1UV.IU, j u3i ov ikjiifr ao _> \j\l UUli l civ iliany claim to be a doctor, or put M. D. after your name. That's why the advertisement is worded "write to a woman '* instead of write to a doctor. Common sense has brought more than half-a-million women, afflicted with some form of female disease, to Dr. R. V. Pierce as one of the most expert physicians in the United States in the treatment of female diseases. Dr. Pierce is a specialist. He has given more than thirty years of active practice to the treatment of female diseases. Dr. Pierce is not a "physician " by courtesy. He is a physician regularly graduated. legally empowered to practice and with thirty years of experience in the treatment of diseases of women, which he has made his specialty. The offer of free consultation by letter made by Dr. Pierce is a real offer, an honest offer. It is an offer backed by a medical institution, with a world-wide reputation, a staff of nearly a score of regularly grid uated physicians, a practice which reaches every state in the Union and a record of more than lialf-a-million women treated and ninety-eight out of every hundred perfectly cured. Write to a doctor. That's the first thing. Write to Hie doctor. That's the next thing. The woman's doctor, is Dr. R. V. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, X. Y. MASEIED.

L:Ti:htiv3 Pr:c:edings. roust:?SATURDAY. Tiin r-ession uf the Hoihh cf Ujpre senta'.ives witnessed h ;-pioy deb.it* over Sen itor M ir-b^ii's bill to ?x end the rights and remedies of em payees of railtoad to employees of cotton mills aed street railway lioer. The bill was tinally killed by bavins the enacting words stricken out Mr. Slurps voted agiinst striking out the enacting woids and Mr Efird was paired with Mr. West The pens-ion bill was the first measure considered yesterday. The bill was repcit.d ULfivorably by the committee. It provides that soldiers and sailors who have lost arm or leg arc entitled to pension, no matter what their age. Mr. Sharpe moved to striks out the enacting words. The bill was killed. After and in'.erestiug debate, the House killed the bill to provide a rebate tf 1 per cent, on taxes paid in October and i per cent, on taxes paid in November by alargem^j >rity. The b'-ll to provide for the printing and sale of the South Carolina reports, and for the compensation of the State reporter passed second reading. It fixes the salary at Si,000 per annum and 10 per cent, of the sales of the reports to cover incidental expenses. Mr. Biease preferred adding a nominal sum, S-30 to the salary, instead of the 10 per cent., but the House refused the amendment. U?ll *?/\1 I s\ mn J- LiC LM1I iCiauug lu nauc|;vi iuuuu of dead bodies passed second read ing. It provides that bodies dead cf contagious or infections disease cannot be shipped into, through, or out of the State except on compliance with such rules as the State board of health shall make. The State board is authorized to license such persons as are on examination found proficient in the ait of embalming. The bill to authoiizo the erection on the Siate House grounds if a monument, to the women of the Southern Confederacy, passed a second leading without any objections. The bill to provide in lieu of mileage, that State officials, etc., and members of the General Assembly be provided with free railroad transportation was very properly killed. The Senate's resolution to submit the matter of adj urnment to the judiciary committee of the two House.? came over and was adopted. There was a favorable report on the bill to provide for a Pension Commissioner and on the bill to devolve the duties of Supervisors of Registration upon clirks of municipalities and Clerks of Courts. The nuoiber of new bills introduced since the beginning of the term, January 10, 1899, Fiiday reached the 900 mark. After makiDg several bills special orders and the introduction of numerous new bills the House took a recess until Monday at 12 o'clock. SENATE-SATURDAY. The Senate got to work earlier it 11 * 3 _ * man usual ana remaineu in session until 2 p. m., but when adj urnment was had there were yet on the calendar quite a number of second reading bills and the third reading bills had all b< en passed over, so that when the body convenes at noon on Monday, there will be quite a heavy calendar to be disposed of and it is likely night sessions will be held. The resolution looking towards the erection of a Union depot in Columbia met the hearty approval of the Senate, and it is evident the Senators want to see the building *cc mpleted. Among the new bills introduced was one by Senator Crosson to repeal section 229 of and Act iu reference to assessment and collection of school taxes, adding other sections. Tne j idiciary committee made a maj nity and minority report on Senator Aldtieh's resolution to investigate the State dispensary. The majority report by Senator Henderson was unfavorable, the minority by Senator Maj field was favorable. The resolution went on the calendar. There were also two reports from tLe judiciary committee on tbe Appelt dispensary local option bill, tbe unfavorable report b.ing signed by S .uator Hcmd. rson and five others, the favorable report being made by Senator Barnwell and five others. The biil went on tbe caleudir. Tbe committee cn charitable institutions reported unfavorably on the bill to regulate the admission of inebriates to the lunatic asylum. The biil went on ihe calendar. Sev<-rji bills were nude f-peeLl crier?. Tbe S mite then took up Senator BlakeLey's biil to give landlords and tenants liens agaiust the sh ires of laborers and croppers after division of crops for advances, and killed it. At\er passing a few local measures, > he Senate adj urned until Monday at 12 noun. HOUSE?MONDAY. The II;U e resumed woik this miming on routiiie wo: k. Only tb.ee second reading bi!U were taken up, one of which was killed aud 01 e on which no action was tak-n after a lengthy debate.

Further discussioD on the bill was postponed. Mr. D.Bruhl moved to strike out the enacting word > of the bill pro viding for the sale of do.ne-^ic wine The motion carried aud the bill was killed. Too bill to reduce the rates of printing legal notices received an un favorable report. The House was to hold a night session, but on account of the failure of the electric plant, to furnish light, the House was compelled to adj mm SENATE?MONDAY. The Senate's two hours session this morniug resulted in killing and passing to third reading several bills The bill to require the directors of the State penitentiary to erect i. plant and manufacture acid phosphate with convict labor was killed. The j <iut resolution providing for the preparation and completion of the history to accompany the Con federate rolls was indefinitely postponed. The commktce substitute for Sena tor G.uber'd bill to require clerks and registers to satisfy of records of certain mortgages of real estate and to prescribe the forms was adopted. The bill t) amend the law relating to landlords and tenants leceived its third n a ling. The Senate adj rumed until 8 p. in., the pending question bc-iDg the House bill to amend the school law so as to prevent school trustees electing relatives as teachers, an amendment beiDg offered so as to make the provision upply to relatives of the third degree. When the hour for the evening 1 it C* 4 _ _ 1 1 session arrived, toe oenaie cuamuei was in darkues3 which even the brilliancy of Senatorial oratory could not dissipate though the topic was intoxicants. A9 there seetned to be nc prospects of the lights being turned on scon, the Senate adjourned until Tuesday morning.
