The.Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C\. WETNFSDAY. FEFRUAl Y 21. 1?00 Last week we made the statement that an extra train would be put od t le Augusta end of the Southern Railway which vould anive in Columbia io the morning and returning leave there in the afternoon and that the train would probably be put on last Thursday. "We made this statement on information furnished by Senator Crosson, who has with commendable zeal taken an active interest in this matter. To show that Senator | Crosson had good authority for mak ing the same, we quote what he wrote us: 'T have succeed by going "before the Railroad Commissioners, "in getting a change of passenger "schedules via the Southern Railway j "so as to give us a train going to Co "lumbia in the morniDg and return "ing in the evening. * * * For "the benefit of the public please an "nounce that the train will be put on "tomorrow (the 14th). Yours, D. M. "Crosson. To make sure doubly sure Senator Crosson had an interview with Superintendent Wells of the Southern and succeeded in getting: his promise to put on the train, for the Senator adds in a postscript, "Superinten "dent P. I. Wells says that he will "comply with my request and as directed by the Rtilroad Commissioners." The change not hsving been made on schedule time we, together with maDy ether interested persons, were at a loss to understand the reason for the failure in the face of such a positive promise and wondered if we were still going to be forced to endure the inconveniences of present schedules. Such, however, seems not to be the case and the end of our long and patiently endured suffering is in sight. The following note from Senator Crosson explains itself: "I "was very much disappointed that ",he change of schedule was not "made as promised; but Superintendent Wells was called to Washington and could not make the change ' as promised, bat has assured me "obrough his attorney and Railroad "Commissioners that the train will "be put on soon.'' So the matter is entirely in the hands of Superintendent Wells and the reason why the change was not made at the time promised was on account of his absence in Washington. We hope Senator Crosson will push ibis matter to a successful ending, and that when we hear the whistle blow we will see the engine. We have since learned that the train from Trenton to Columbia will be put on, on the 24th. Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, the most prominent Democrat before tie country today, addressed the Legislalature and the people of Columbia last Thursday. His speech was published in the State on the followiog morning and a casual perusal, shows it to have been constructed on sound Democratic principles as laid j down by the fathers and handed i down in their purity and simplicity | to their posterity. He was particularly severe on the policy of the present administration in reference i to its disposition of the Philippine islands and Cuba. He denounces 1 the imperialistic tendences of the Republican party and contended that such a policy was dangerous to cur Republican form of government, and fostered and nurtured monarchism. He arraigned McKinley and the Republican party for their mismanagement and weakness in handling j important questions of government, and discussed fully the silver question in reference to its importance to the financial system of the 1 country. It was a strong statesmanlike paper, and delivered by a 1 a statesman of the most pronounced and highest type. Mr. Bryan is the logical candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, and he will doubtlest receive the unanimous vote of his party. The outlook for his triumphal j election in the November election is j indeed bright, as he has succeeded in a large measure in healing the disaffection which existed in the Democratic ranks during the last Presidential election, which contributed towards his defeat then, j and has brought the antagonistic j elements so closely together that i both wings now practically flop to- \ gether in unison. If he can sue- i ceed in keeping his party together until after the election he will prob ably be elected President and in his I election the country and our free institutions will be saved. Governor McSweeney has ap- j pointed the following tamed per- j sons as the commission to superintend i the erection of suitable monuments at CbicaniHUga to the memory of South Carolina's dead: Gen. C. I. : Wilker, Charleston; Col. J. Harvey j Wilson, of Sumter, and C. K Henderson, of Aiken. The Legislature appropriated $10,000 for this work. Gen. French has succeeded in his | fffoits to relit v- K rnbei e \ having defeated Boer General Cuije. Toe ^ la'est advices ficrn the scut of war , indicate that the Bv,er army under this Geiieial has been captured and : a large amount of provision?, supplies and ammunition taken by the1 B.-itifh. General Boiler is also reported to have stormed and taken a stroDg fortified position of the Boers in Nitals and that the relief of Ladysmith is only a question of days. At one time it seemed that the B.ers would rea'ly be tu cossful in their unequal fight for independence, but during the past week the fortunes of war have changed a id they have met with reverses that has had a demoralizing effect upon officers and men alike. It seems from the reports that the Bjers have about exhausted their resources and have no more available men that they can put in the field to supply the places of tbo3e killed and captured j iD battle. A rumor has gained cir I culation that the thinned ranks of ! that brave and gallant people will be recruited with Boer women, who are said to be anxious to fight be side their menfolk to win their inde pendence. The General Assembly of the State of South Carolina adjourned sine die iast Saturday, after having accomplished its work. Among the most [ important acts, wa3 the one making changes in the Dispensary law. The old State Board of Control has been abolished and a Board of Directors j /?nnJjfina nf three members substi- I w tuted, as follows: L J. Williams, chairmaD, of Saluda, A. F. H Dukes, of Orangeburg, and H. H. Evans of Newberry, with H. H. Crum of Bamburg, as Commissioner. The Commissioner has been made elective by j the Gsneral Assembly instead of by the Board of Directors, subj jet to removal for cause by the Governor. Otherwise no radical changes were made in other new laws and no new measures of much general importance were adopted. The Senate refused to agree to the House's appropriation of $100,000 to the free public schools and this item was stricken from the ap propriation bill. There were one hundred and thirty Acts passed besides a number of Joint resolutions and two measures proposing amendments to the Constitution. Next week we shall give the title of the most important bills which have become Acts at this session. They now have a dual government in Kentucky. Both parties are attempting to legislate and both par* * - - ? t.i_ i ties are maKing a miserauie isuuic The situation has been relieved of its serious feature and has become extreraly ludicrous. The Democrats held a sesssion in the State house at Frankfort on the lO.b, for the first time since the assassination of Gov. Goebel. The Senate was presided over by both Carter, Democrat, and Marshall, Republican. While the white winged dove of peace did not hover over the assembled statesmen, the proceedings were marked with a due consideration for the feelings of the contending partizans. The Democrats recognized Clark, and the Republicans yielded obedience to Marshall. The Demoratic members re affirmed the former action of the Senate whereby Goebel was declared Governor. Senator Triplett, antiGoebelite, voted with the Democrats for the purpose of making a quorum. Dr. S. P. H. Elwell, a prominent member of the South Carolina Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died suddenly in a barber shop in Columbia, last Saturday, while waiting to be shaved. Dr. El well was pastor of the Spring Street Methodist church in Charleston and bad gone to Columbia to deliver the anniversary sermon to the Knights of Pythians, of which order he was an daHvo momlibr TTfl was wpII tnnwn l*Vkl V W U4V ?-U VV. 4 AAV V?V *( v>? v .. ?. and greatly admired by many of the readers of the Dispatch, having been pastor of the Batesburg charge several years ago and has made several temperance addresses at this place. He was a brave and gallant Confederate soldier and lost an arm during that memorable struggle and in all good works he took an active and prominent part. His remains were interred in Elmwood cemetery in Cjlumbia. On last Sunday morning some unknown party feloniously entered the dwelling of Mr. Win. Westmoreland at Samaria and appropriated to his own use $59 55 in greenbanks and silver. He took a sledge hammer, his stick and guD, but ltft these articles at the foot of the stairs.

"Woodward, a prominent member of the AikeD, Bar, a Representative from that county and an ex mayor of the town, died at his home in Aiken on February 18, af ter a loDg illness. He was one of nature's noblemen. Governor McSweeney did not veto a single Act passed by the recent L gislature. j Hepreseututive Sbarpe's eouuty government bill <qu*liz*s the salaiy of the Supervisor and the two c ;tn missioners and divides their duties and jurisdiction.

Incoming shipping bring the news that Saturday night's stoiin at sea was very severe and a great deal of damage was done to the shipping interest. A Brockland Thief Hunt. Columbia Evening Record lUth Brookland has for some time been infested by a gaDg of thitves. Several negro loafers were suspected and it was decided Saturday night to capture them if possible. Accordingly a posse was organized for the purpose, but the thieves got wind of it and fled. The posse made pursuit but failed to capture them. The Sheriff of Lexington went to Brookland and took charge of the search but a telephone message this after noon states that the thieves have succeeded in eluding their pursurers. There are said to be four of them. w lien you aream that somebody is pushing you over a precipice it's time you looked after your stomach and liver.

Greenville News. The banks and warehouses are miking a great change for the better in th9 business methods of the firm ers. All of us remember a few years ago when nearly all the cotton was under lien at rates of interest raDg in# from 15 to 75 psr cent, and growers were forced to dump their crop on the market at anything they could get. Njw the banks at moderate rates of interest enable the farmer to use his judgment and hold k i3 cotton as long as he likes and to take his time about when and where and to whom he shall sell. Ii other words, the power of capital i3 put b)hind the farmer. There used to be bitter complaint tint the farmer had to ask the merchahts to fix prices on merchandise, but had the price of his own crop fixed for Lim. The now methods have changed this. The farmer can warehouse his cotton, if he is unable to keep it at his own home, and stru! around a while and wait for bids We like to see this. The cotton grower has had the short end of the singletree so long that it does us good to see him at the loDg end. I1 looks now as if the farmer who has a ' a few bales of cotton left can sit at home and have the pleasure of wait ing for bids?a mighty different thing from having to tramp around town with samples iu his hand beg ging for bids. Tbe men with money and the men with cotton have stood and worked together this time and the combination has worked beauti fully. We hope to see the number of men wbo can nokl tneir cotton ana sell when they like increase steadily. There are hundreds of them now where tberejused to be dozens. The men who are selling their cotton now are making clear profits of six or ten dollars a bale over what they would have received at the beginning of the season. Now, if the farmers will keep down the acereage they will continue to be on top and will again know the lux ury of independence and holding until the price suits them. The warehouses and banks will be ready to help them again if they need 1 e p. Oar people are in a beautiful shape. Two or three more seasons of sensible businesslike management will make them the most independent and comfortable people in the world. Cancsr and Blood Poison Cured by B B.
