The Lexington Dispatch ( Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul} 19.1894. G. M. HARMAN. Ediror and Publisher. a LEXINGTON. S. C., ? WET NFS DAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1S00. C . c Daring the past week the Legisla- t ture has been hard at work and has ' disposed of a large number of bills in 1 one way or another, the most of which 1 were of a local nature and of no in ( terest to our readers. The Senate 1 ha9 passed the dispensary bill and it is now being discussed in the House It provides for the election of a Commissioner and three members of 8 1 I j b;ard of directors who are to be j elected by a j ?iut meetiog of the Genaral Assembly. There are maDj o'her important changes in thepresent bill in the management of thr institution which makes the proposed law a great improvement over the 1 ^ j old one, and it will doubtless meet the "hearty approval of all who favoi the dispensary sjstem of controlling 1 the drink evil. The Senate has amended the Jim j Crow Car law in an essential p&rtieu lar, which makes the provisions of the law more (ffective and no doubt the amenment will prove to be wholesome in making the complete and ' entire separation of the races while 1 riding on a railroad practicable. The suddIv act has been carefully prepared with an eye to rigid econo [ my, and it is now being dissected j the political doctors. The proposition to complete the State House has met the unanimous , \ approval of the State. The Legislature in all probability will adjourn sine die on the 17th. __ ' All news from South Africa is de. I nied the public by the Btiiish censor and the public mind is in a state of constant uneasiness over the un certainties of the situation there. j The whereabouts of General Bullei known only to those who are entitled to seats in the charmed circle of the Star Chamber, it not beiDg knowD whether he has met with another do feat aDd he together with his entire division annihilated by the Boer sharpshooters, or if he is marching iD ~ i triumph to the relief of Ladysmitb. The suspense is said to be painful h throughout the British kingdom. His exact position is unknown, no correspondence haviDg been had with him for three days. It is thought that Natal has been completely wiped off the map. The outlook, is dark for the success of the British ' arms, and it now seems that the T> :n ?ii..: j_>uer? win gam kueu cuui^icic iuucpendeDce from the British crown. The agreement to leave the settlement of the Kentucky difficulty to , arbitration has been unfortunate to , the aspirations of would be Govert or | Taylor. His friends and advisors | have weakened and are now readv to i * turn the government over to the , management of the Democrats vsho will doubtless assume control before ( this issue is given to the public. , "All's well that ends well."' Every now and then the Philip | pine Iosurgents bobs up serenely , to annoy and harass the American , troop3 on their onward march of con- ] quest. The other day the Insurgents under General Pana showed fight, bat the battalion ucdtr command j of Lipton soon knocked out the de- , sire an j they retreated without do- . iog any damage. i ~~?

This is true because it i works directly at the roots of all disease ?the digestive system, the blood, the nerves. Keep these in healthy condi- ( tion and you cannot be sick. Many of the cures of the "Golden ' Medical Discover}' " seem almost mirac- ( ulous. Its effect is almost immediate. It takes hold at once. It tones up the ' stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates < the bowels. j It gets right into the blood and carries strength and comfort to every fiber of the body. It nourishes and invigorates ( the weakened, irritated nerves and puts the entire system in perfect tune. i It is a safe medicine. Safe for adults j ?safe for children. It contains no sugar, syrup, whisky, alcohol or dangerous opi- t ates. Therefore, it does not create a g craving for stimulants. It is distinctly a temperance medicine. < If a medicine dealer tries to substitute r . some other preparation when you ask for "Golden Medical Discovery"?lookout c for him. He is either ignorant or dis- j * honest and you can't trust him. 1 . + Males! Males!

Harland Whittakrr, a farmer from Butler county, Ihe heme county of Governor Taylor, is now iu the j til it Louisville charged with the crime. There is no direct evidence ag&iDst Wbittaker and he was placed under arrest more because he was caught uound the C3pitol building when ihe shots were tired than for any jther apparent reason. He denies in the most positive mauner that he had any connection with the shooting or knew auythiog abjut it. He was running toward the scene of the 3hooting and not away frcm it when he was arrested. Senator Goebel was wounded by a rifle ball of small calibre, not over 33; which struck him in the right side just below the arm pit. The bill passed through the back part of the right lung, across the body in a diagonal line, passing out below the i.fi. -i 13? ui J . TL ? r i- _ i ^ _ leu Buouiuer 01111?. xue viiai o:gons were Dot iDj jred with the ex ception of the right lung. Mr. Goebel was on his way to the senate chamber in company with CJol. Jack Cbinn and Warden Eph Lillard of the Frankfort penitentiary. Mr. Lillard was a few feet in advance of Goebel and Chinn, who were walking side by side, Goebel being oit the right and CaiDn upon the left. From the outer edge of the capitol grounds to the step of the capitol building the distance is about 3JO feet. Two thirds of this had been passed and the men were walking slowly when suddenly a shot raDg out from a large three-story building which stands 50 feet east of the capitol building. This buildiDg ig used for offices by nearly all the leading c fflcials of the State, Gov smor Taylor and the Secretary ol State having rooms on the first floor A _ IL ? -1. .1 1 J n -L _1 as buo fciiot was uearu vxoeuei gavt i quick involuntary exclamation ol pain and made an effort to draw hi: own revolver. His strength was unequal to the task, however, and he 9ank upon the pavement. With great rapidity several more shots vere fired, the bullets all striking the brick sidewalk close to where Goebel lay. None of them touched him, however. While William Goebel lay at the point of death in his room as the rc suit of an assassin's bullet the con testing boards, which for two weeks had been listepiog to the evidence in his contest for the governor's chair, declared him entitled to the seat. The boards having in charge the contests between Goebel and Taylor for Governor, and Beckham and Marshall for Lieutenant Governor, met at 7 o'clock tonight in the citj hall to consider the evidence submitted to thenj, and prepare their report to the legislature. A few legal authorities were read to th< m it the request of Senator Allen, wl c wished linht shed udod a few doubt O L ful poiLit3. Then by a strict party rote of 10 to 1, William Goebel was ieclared to have been legally elected Governor of Kentucky. The Beckham-Marshall contest was then voted upon and a strict party vote of 9 to 2 settled this mater. Several Democrats sought to get together a quorum of both house', bo'd a night sessioD, push through he reports and declare Goebel the Governor of Kentucky before morn ng, to give him the honor before he lied, but too many legislators were iway. It is a certainty that Gjebel will be made Governor tomorrow if be is alive. Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 31 ?Governor fay lor this morning ad j )urned the legislature to meet at London, Ky., February 6 Militia in the city pre rented the Democrats from assem bling and members were threatened with arrest. Never was there a more coin piijated political situation than that which tonight confronts the politicians of Kentucky, and never wa=* Viore nro r>f if coomiel cr difficult to form an accurate guess ci :he outcome. The Republican party, which twc Jays ago was vaioly striving to hold ts members in their seats upon the loor of the house and which seemed ilmost powerless, is tonight iu the raddle strong and vigorous and ;arrjing things With a high hand. Che powerlessness of the Republican jf two days ago i3 more than equalled >y the apparent helplessness of the Democrat of today. All day long he Democracy has been groping iround trying to find some way in vhich it could seat in the gubemaorial chair its lender, "William G,e>el, who lies slowly d;ing of the vound inflicted by the buliet of an ; ^assiD.

There was no bluff, oo f ?lse alarm about it. TAYLOU's I'tlor i.AMATIOX. G ,v. Taylor this afternoon issued the following address to the people To the People of K?nfuck;: The most lamentable condition of sffiirs ever experienced by our people has rendered prompt actiou on the part of the Cjief Executive of the State ub-oiutely necessary. A long se;ie3 of unprecedented and unlawful acts practiced by those in charge of the legislative interests of the State has culminated iu the most fear fat condition of the peiiod to the S.ate. The dreadful tragedy which occurred yesterday shocked aud startled all, and can be no more sincerely deplored by anyone than myself. The attempt to legislate under such conditions of excitement and threatened violence a3 now prevails in Frankfort would be sheer madness, and I have, therefore, in the exercise of my constitutional powers, adj >urned the legislature to coovene in LondoD, Ky, on February G. I have taken every precaution to preserve the peace, that every citizen may know that life and property are safe and will be protected with every resource of the commonwealth. I trust that in this laudable eff;rt I will have the support of every lawabiding citizen of Kentucky, i (S'gned) W. S. Taylor, Governor of Kentucky. (JOVEKXOU GOEBEUTAKHS THE OATII, Frankfort, Ky , Jan. 31 ?William Goebel was shortly before 9 o'clock tonight sworn in as Gavernor of Kentucky and J. C. W. Beckham a few minutes later took the oath of Lieutenant Governor. The oath was administerted to both men by Cnief ( Justice Huzelrigg of the court of appeals. The plan to make Goebel (r.ivprnnr sat in mot.inn Pflrlv in the afternoon. A statement was prepared saying that the boards which had heard the contests for Governor and Lieutenant Governor had decided in favor of Goebel and Beckham and that the boards intend ed to leport their findings to the legislature, but that they had been prevented from so doing by the j action of Gov. Taylor in declaring the legislature adjourned. The statement then goes to say ^ that the members of the legislature were driven from place to place by the militia and threatened with arrest whenever they attempted to ' hold a meetmg. It was declared the helif f nf all the signers of the state meDt that Goebel and Beckham , were legally elected Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and each man, as he signed the paper, announced that he voted for the adoption of the m ?j )ritv report of the contest boards which declared Gotbel and Beckham to be the men rightfully entitled to ( the office. Mr. Gotbel a9 soon as he was assured that he was legally Governor of Kentucky, took prompt action regarding the military arm of the service. Two orders were quickly prepared for his signature, the firtt which discharged Adjutant General Collier from office and appointed Gen. John B Cistleman of Louisville as his successor. The second was directed to the commanders tf the militia now staticned in this city, directing them to return to their homes. Word was at once telegraphed to Gen. Castleman of h s appointment and he is expected in the city tomorrow morning. There is a possibility of trouble in the matter of the control of the State troops. The regiments of the guard have lately been reorganized at.d they are for the most part made up of R->pubI i: 3 ii.. i r n _ * ncaiis uuu me persouai iouowers 01 Governor Taylor. Washington, D. C., Feb. 2.?The Kentucky delegation, consisting cf Senator-Elect Blackburn, Represents tives Rhea, Smith, Allen and Gilbert, and ex-Representative Thompson, called on President McKinley today - to protest against federal interference in that stste. Governor Taylor had appealed to w McKinley to settle the Kentucky matter by recognizing him a9 the Kentucky Governor. HE WILL NOT INTERFERE, Washington, D. C., Feb. 2.?At the cabinet meeting today it was decided that the situation in Kentacky was not such as to require Federal interference and conseq lently the President will take no action und^r llie present conditions. T2SDER CV TROOPS Specials from various points in tbe S/ ti report the tender of troops to I sustain tbe Goebel government. And among them is an off-r from Colonel Gaitebr, cf Harrodsburg, heretofore a strong anti Goebel man. At Richi mead, Ivy., Dr. Frazce, one of Mori gau's cavalry, in a few hours, enlist| ed fifty men. Similar offers have j come from scores of towns, none of I which have been accepted.

Sili OZV 11 LEXINGTON February 7.?ti miuent tomorrow and bevocd tbi ' i possibilities of tomorrow lies a sea 1 with skies lowering and so stormy an aspect that no politician of either party can predict which will carry i the Kentucky ship of State. There can no longer be any concealment of the fact that affiirs are bordering on conflict in arms. LEGISLATURE MEETS. The Democratic members of the legislature today effected a regular organizitiou for the first time since the swearing in of Gov. Goebel. A secret session of the members of both houses wa9 held in one of lb? parlors of the Capitol hotel, at which the election of William Goebel, as Governor and J. C. Beckham, as Lieutenant Governor, was reaffirmed first in separate sessions of tLe house and senate, and afterward in a joint session. DEATH COMES TJ GOV. GOEDEL. Frankfort, Feb. 3.?The ballet fired by an unknown assassin last Tuesday inoruiDg ended the life of William G>ebel at (j.4) o'clock this eveniog. Exactly one hour after the death of Mr. G;ebel, J C. W. Beckham was sworn in as Governor of the State, the oath beiDg administered by S J. Shackelford, Cierk of the Court of Appeals. Tne summary of the situation in Kentucky is that Taylor, the usurper, will have to bick down or there will be civil war. Tne civil and military authorities are facing each other with grim determination. Taylor laughs at Judge and Sherilf and re fuses to recoguiz 3 a writ of habeas corpus for a man held as a prisoner. Frankfort, Feb. 4 ?Armed conflict between the civil authorities of Franklin county and the national guard of the State of Kentucky his been averted, and unless new causes should come to the front there is small likelihood that the political situation will again become as threatening as it ha3 been daring the lasi 3G hours. Gov. Taylor this morning ordered the release of Alonz) Walker for the possession of whom Judge Moore had declared that Sheriff Suter would awear in a posse, and take possession of the capitol grounds, if such an extreme measure became necessary.
