The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juh 19.1894. G. M. R ARM AN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WETNFSDAY. FEBRUARY 14. 190?? Lately much unfavorable comment has been occasioned by the advance in the price of commercial fertilizers The unthinking and thoughtless ele ment of the consumers ^vho do not stop to reason out causes and tfftcts, but accept conclusions as they sre deduced from false premises, have had much to sav about the advance ; in price being the outcome of a trust to impose upon the farmers. Such, however, ip, in the facts before us, - not the case. Mr. S. T. Morgar, President of the Virginia C irolina Chemical Co, published in theNewsO'oserver of Rileigh, which we republish elsewhere, and to which we invite the attention of our readers, clearly shows that the advance is but the logical outcome of the increase in the cost of raw materials. Not only has fertilizers advanced, but cotton, all farm produce, raw and manufactured articles of every description, and groceries have advanced in price with them. These advances are not the result of trusts but arise from healthy business conditions and a revival of prosperity which has been stagnated by a long drawn out depression in business and commerci&l circles that has also been felt ever to a greater degree by the agricultural interest. Low prices is not a healthfal sign of prosperous times: to the contrary it is an unerring indication of stagnation and tight times in business affairs, and be who oppose a return to fair - and legitimate prices impedes his own prosperity. To demand high prices for what we have to sell and grumble about them for what we have to buy shows a narrow and illiberal spirit that would tear do*n the prosperity of a community to build up an individual interest. Let us hail the return of paying fair and legitimate profits with a joyousness born of hope of brighter and better times. By special invitation Hon. Wm. J. Bryan will address the South Carolina Legislature at Columbia tomor- ' row. He will probably make three speeches in ihat city that day. .legislative Proceedings. Condensed from the Columbia State. HOUSE?WEDNESDAY. The House devoted much of the day in the discussion of the dispensary bill, after being amended in several particulars the bill passed. It is iron clad in many of its features aod is great impovement over the old 1 Ti : ;.r 1 !??, lUnn law. jli xo Luyi o ui au xvtcai ion luau ever before and its moral effect will doubtless be felt for good in a mirked increase in the sobriety of the people. Its provision as to the purchase of liquors are so stringent as to make deals and the acceptance of rebates well nigh impossible. All the salient features of the Senate's bill have been retained. Tne House refused to agree to the Senate's amendments on the Jim Crow Car bill and it went to a conference committee. At one o'clock both houses met in joint assembly to hear the address by Dr. Curry. The colleges and the public and other schools took a recess to be present. SENATE?WEDNESDAY. The Senate today passed the bill requiring the establishment of a reformatory in connection with the penitentiary. It is provided that the reformatory shall be established on a State farm, possibly the Reed faim. It proposes to take all convicts sixteen years and under to the reformatory. The committee on agriculture reported a substitute for the Rigsdale cotton seed meal adulteration bill, but both the substitute and the bill were indefinitely postponed. HOUSE?THURSDAY. The House of Representatives today passed the bill to appropriate $35,000 for a new domitory for Win throp college. The election of tru3tee3 for Clemson, the Citadel and the Colored college by the j oint assembly was went into and the trustees elected. ? NIGHT SESSI.N. This session witnessed the regular annual fight over the appropriation to the South Carolina college. The ways and means committee recom mended an appropriation of 5527,500 An effort to cut it to $25,000 failed. likewise an effjrt to reduce it to $20,000. Tben it was claimed that some members voted against the i $25,100 amendment under a misap- j prehension, and another almost j identical was offered. When the appropriation bill was j called up for its second reading, it i was taken up section by section. There was no change in the section relating to the office of the Gjvernor. ! The office of the Secretary of State ; got $300 more, on amendment of ilr. j Crum, for books, blanks, etc. There was no change in the sections relating to the appropriations t Doctors' Costly Visits Sickness in the family \ when on top of reasonably to ^l^Pi secnis "'niosf lo? krR'a^ 11 I a burden for any fani^jl ily in moderate circumstances to endure. Dnt there is a way Kj to avoid most of these unnecessary expenses besides preventing a great deal of the sickness itself. " Doctor's visits come high." says Mrs. Beta F. Howard, of Gieu Ellen, .Sonoma Co.. Cal. "I have been in this place sixteen years and have sv..i.. u^A o <l/v^tAr our/o in mv famtJv cinre thnt time, thanks to Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser and his medicines. This l>ook saves doctor's \dsits. I cannot do without it in the house. I have had two copies but cannot keep them. Enclosed I send 2! one-cent stamps for another copy." Another lady. Mrs. Jennie Warren, of Clifton, Graham Co. "Arizona, says: " With pleasure I write to you again to let you know that I feel as well and strong as I ever did. With your kind and good advice; nd Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I have been entirely cured. I thank you a thousand times for your good advice. I think that if every person who is sick in any way will write to you for advice and will take the medicine you prescribe, according to directions, no other doctor's services will be ueeded." The great thousand-page Medical Adviser will be sent free paper-bound for 21 one-cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing only; or in cloth-binding 31 stamps. A whole medical library in one volume. Address R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y. He will send professional advice fin a plain sealed envelope) free of charge. All letters are considered in sacred privacy, and never published except by the writer's permission. for the offices of Treasurer and Comptroller General. An amendment to increase the salary of the Clerk of the Superintendent of Education from $900 to $1,200 was voted down. The committee DroDosed another amendment t ~ "IT to increase the Supeiintendent of Education's stationery and stamp account fund from $120 to $200, and Mr. Sharpe wanted to know if the ways and means committee and the House knew whose money they were sp'ending. The amendment was agreed to. No change was made in the appropriation for the militia and it stands at $8,0C0. $500 extra was given to the Attorney General's office for extraordinary expenses or emergency fund. There were no changes in the sections relating to the Railroad Commission or to the State Libarian. The "State house and grounds" sections were so amended that the salary of the two firemen was increased from $25 to $35 a jnonth each, and $58 was set aside for renewing the inscription on the Confederate monument. The judiciary department's appropriation went through unscathed. . When the appropriation for the health department was called. Mr. Prince started to propose some reductions, but at the request of Dr. Wyche no action was taken until the report of the State Board of Health comes in. The tax department appropriations were accepted without change. OTHER MATTERS. The House adopted a resolution that until next Monday no Senate bills be taken up in the House. This will give the House bills a chance and the Senate bills will be taken up next week. No bills can be presented now except through committees. The conference committee on the separate coach bill reported that they could not agree, and asked that a full conference committee be appointed. There was a favorable report on the bill which provides that cotton factories shall not issue non negotiable scrip or checks. The committee on rule3 introduced a bill to prevent formation of trusts. The legislative supply bill was presented. SENATE?THURSDAY. N )thing of much importance was transacted in the Senate today. All third reading bills was passed over. The bill relating to delinquent taxes on mortgaged property was given its final reading and passed. Senator Crosson introduced a bill providing for a State bacteriologist; also a bill to provide for the inspection of foods and drugs. SIGHT SESSION. When the Senate re convened at 8 p. m., the bill relating to the transfer of Donalds township from Abbeville to Anderson county was the pending question and after debate passed to a third reading. Mr. Wilson's House bill to provide for the erection of monumeuts on the battlefield of Chicamauga to the valor and heroism of S^uth Carolina soldiers was reached on the calendar ond Senator Arnher moved to in definitely postpone. After a considerable debate the motion was lost by a vote of 27 to 8. Speaking on this proposition Senator Crosson said be was perhaps the youngest Senator on the floor. He had not the honor to be a Confederate soldier, but he had the honor to be the son of a Confederate soldier. It is but a duty as citizens of South Carolina and as Senators to erect the shaft in the distinguished honor of the dead who lie there buried. The Senate then adjourned. FRIDAY. Both branches of the General Assembly met at the appointed time and attacked the calendars with a KOHDHHBBcaaeaaHBanBBanHiB vim that soon dispostdof the various bills. Much of the time was consumed in debiting the various measures. A proposition in bo'b brauches to adjourn until Tuesday so as to allow the members to go home for salesday was defeated. After transacting routine business both Houses acj mrned. HOUSE?SATURDAY. "When the Hjuse met this miming a number of papers were received from the Senate. The appropriation bill was given ! its third reading. The Pcttton pension bill was given its third reading without objection. A resolution inviting Hon. Win. J.

The supply bill was then taken up and discussed, amended and then went to a third reading. The bill to provide for State in- | sumca on public buildings was called up and passed without opposition. This bill provides that the State shall run an insurance business | in which all public buildings shall be insured in the State's company and in no other. NIGIIT SESSION. The Senate reported that it had agreed on the conference report on the separate coach bill. Several unimportant bills were sent from the Senate for amendments. The usual committee to examine the dispensary was asked for. A bill against trust was offered as substitute and after considerable op position passed. After the transaction of other business the House adjourned. SENATE?SATURDAY. The House resolution inviting Hon. Wm. J. Bryan to address the Legislature on Thursday next was read j jst after the opening of the session and unanimously adopted with the exception of Mr. Mayfield, who did not vote on either side.

Slight Skin Eruption* arc :t Warning of Something Tlore Serion* to Coma The Only Sate Way in to Heed the Warning. Johnston"* Sarsaparilla is the Most Powerful lilood Puritier Known. Nature, in her efforts to correct mistakes, which mistakes have come from careless living-, or it may be from ancestors, shoots out pimples, blotches and other imperfections on the skin, as a warning- that more serious troubles (perhaps tumors, cancers, erysipelas or pulmonary diseases) are certain to follow if you neglect to heed the warning and correct the mistakes. Many a lingering, painful disease and many an early death has been avoided simply because these notes of warning have been heeded and the Hood kept Dure bv a right use of .JOHNSTON'S SAiiSAPAiU LLA. J Miss Abbie J. Ramie, of Marshall. .Mich., writes: | "I was cured of a bad hu.uor after suffering with it for five years. Th^ doctors and my friends said it v.as salt rheum. It came out on my head, neck and ears, and then on my whole body. I was perfectly raw with it. What I suffered during1 those five years, is no use teliing. Nobody would believe me if I did. I tried every medicine that was advertised to cure it. I spent money enough to buy a house. I heard JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA highly praised. I tried a bottle of it. I began to improve right away, and when 1 had finished the third bottle I was completely cured. I have never had a touch of it since." I never got any thing to do me the least good till I tried JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. I would heartily advise all who are suffering from humors or skin disease of any kind to try it at once. I had also a good deal of stomach trouble, and was run down and miserable, but JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA made me all right.'' The blood is your life and if you keep it pure and strong you can positively resist disease or face contagion fearlessly. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA never fails.
