ihe Lexington Dispatch J Burned April 25th; rebuilt July j 19.1894. G. M. HARM AN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. WBDN2S9AI, FEBRUABY. 2S,1?00. The testimony in the Borers' mnr j der ease is too voluminous for us to ! reproduce in the columns of the j Dispafcb, and to attempt to give j a synopsis would be unsatisfactory to j both the publisher and the reader, J therefore we shall not attempt it. | Through the successful (ffjits of i Senator D. M. Crosson the people of irk-vn T^*inorton and those liv * v D iog adj icent to the Augusta Division of the Southern Railway, are now erpying an excellent and moat con enient schedule between Trenton and Columbia. For several years past the Dispatch has repeatedly called attention to the inconvenient schedule which has for a long time been in operation on this end and invited the co operation of the business men of C ;lum bia to assist in having a more con v mient schedule arranged. We believe the Columbia B>ardof Trade did consider the matter but the suggestion was either received as inform ition or pigeon holed to await the last trump9i's call, as nothing was ever accomplished toward relieving the situation. Since his election as Senator Dr. D. M Crosson, knowing by experience the inconvenience under which our people have been laboring, interested himself in the matter and succeeded in having a special train put on that would meet the wishes of the people. a The train was put on last Monday, and the schedule is most convenient and at which there can be no just grounds for complaint. The train leaves Trenton in the morning and arrives in Columbia at 9:30 and returning leaves Columbia at 6:30 p. m. It will be run daily, Sanda\ excepted, and doubtless will be well patronized by the travelling public. Upon the examination of the charts by the officials of the State Depart ment it has been found that the United States troops have seized and occupied islands in the South Pailippine Archipglago which were not embraced in the bill of sale and that they still belong to Spain and this government has concluded to withdraw all claims to the islands Caygayen Sulu and Cibutu, both of which lie without the boundary lines laid down by the treaty of Paris. ^ ' ?r.U e ik A -Rr-ar LirODJt1, Willi 1UUI IUUUSIIUU X/MVI > soldiers, after a desperate and re | markably brave defense, have surrendered to Lord Roberts. This i* a severe blow to the Boers and one that is likely to have a disastrous effect on their cause. The prisoners were assured of courteous treatment and will be sent to Cipetown uncer the protection of the geneial tfiher The fighting around Ladysmitb ithot and every step of Bailer in his march to the relief of General Whitt is being stubbornly contested. Thf Boers for their bravery and fighting v qualities have won the admiration oi tbe civilized world and no matter how the result may terminate, Ea gland will gain nothing but contempt. We are indebted to Mr. John J. SifcMahan, State Superintendent of Education, for a copy of his annual report and also for a copy of the school law of the State. These are ti_ ? .1 :?1 ?VdlU!t016 3UU luiuumnc ^uuii^aiiuuo and we appreciate the thoughtfulness of Mr. McMaban in sending us copies. The Porto Rico taiiff bill is still being discussed by Congress and when the iinal vote is taken the administration will meet with a crushing defeat. Opposition sufficiently strong to defeat the administration measure has already developed. New enterprises are being started up all over the State and those already in operation are being successfully operated and are paying their j owners handsomely. Th3 Best of All. Of the many pretty calendars for 1900, the "Little Sweethearts'1 art s- - calendar is the beat for the home. Its six sections of bright, pretty children's faces will cheer and gladden any household. There are six beautiful groups, in water color designs, by Frances Biundage, the famous painter of children; each group in 12 colors and size 10x12^ j inches, on fine Whatman paper: bound together at top with silk rib- j bon, making the prettiest and most j artistic collection of water-color re- j production ever issued. Each of the ] six sheets contains two months' . dates, being a complete calendar of the year 1000. This calendar is sent free to all subscribers to Frank Leslie's Popular Yhnthly for 1900, I the giant of the 0De dollar magazines, ! together with the N >vember and December numbers, 1899, or the January and February issues, 1900. Frank Leslie Publishing House, 141113 Fifth ave, N. Y. In the mythology of Ancient Greece Hymen, the god of marriage, was the half brother of r.sculapius. the gt*l of medicine.

The prospective mother should use every precaution to preserve and foster her health. Not aione for the sake of the little one to come but for her own sake. A perfectly healthy woman is in no danger and in very little pain at her time of trial. There must be due preparation for this time. Nature makes the preparatory period three-fourths of a year arid women who take the hint from nature and use the time properly need have no fears of the outcome. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a medicine designed to cure all distinctly feminine ailments and taken during the period of gestation it renders childbirth easy, safe and comparatively painless. It is the invention of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. X. Y., a regularly graduated physician and skilled socialist in the cure of all diseases of woman. Mrs. Orrin Stiles, of I>owniug. I)uun Co.. Wis., writes: " I cannot praise your - Favorite Prescription' enough, for I have not l>een as well for five years as I now atn. In July last I had a habv boy." weight 11 li?s. I was only sick a short time, and since I got up have not had one sick day." Sick women can consult Dr. Pierce by letter free of charge. Every letter is held strictly private and sacredly confidential. Designing men work on women's feelings, by advising women to "write to a woman who understands woman's needs." It is useless to seek advice about disease of any woman who is not a physician. So far as known no qualified woman physician is connected with any proprietary medicine establishment. Court of General Sessions. Before making their final present oient the grand jury returned true bills against John Johnson for as sault and battery with intent to kill, and against J. B. Sharpe and Al^glin O'Brien for adultry. These cases were continued. PRESENTMENT OP THE GRAND JURY STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA Lexington County. Iq the Court of General Sessions. February Term, 1900. To the Hon. W. C. Benet, Judg. Presiding in the Circuit Court fi r said County and State: We, the grand jurors for said county for the year 19 JO, do beg t< make this, our report: We have passed upon all bill* handed nut to us bvthe Solicitor an<" have returned the same to him will our findings endorsed thereon. In connection with this part of ou> work we wish to return special thankto his Honor presiding, for the f ull and able instructions given us in his charge and we can truthfully say that it i? owing to this assistance we have been able to discharge our duties with dispatch and comfort to our selves. A great comprint is being made to us from the different sections of the county that it is becoming prevalent for persons to visit churches and places of public re ligious worship, esp?eiilly at night time, and shoot off firearms and use profane and indecent language; and not only does such behavior occur there, but upon the public highways, which is a great nuisance, and especially so by making it unsafe and very unpleasant, to say the least of it, for fhe female portion of the com nunities to venture from their homes to attend these places of worship We recommend the Magistrates of the county use their bast efforts to bring the guilty parties to justice and putting a step to such proceedings. There has b?en some complaint made to us about the condition of certain sections ol tne pumtc roaas in the county. We have brought the matter to the attention of the County Supervisor and he has promised to look after them at once. The County Auditor has called our attention to his record book, kept in his office for the entry of trars fer3 of real estate. We find that it is in very bal condition aud that the index leaf badly torn irreparable. We recommend that he be furnished a new book at once. The Magistrates have failed to present their books for examination, and we ask that such steps be taken as to require them to have the same before us at the coming June Court The poor house has been visited by a committee of our body and they report everything in good shape, with *ight inmates who say they are satisfied with their treatment. We have visited the j til and find the building in good condition, except the cemented floor requires some repairs, which we recommend be attended to at once. We find the heating arrangements very poor and i the inmates suffering from cold, tuis, i we recommend, be attended to at I ' i once. We also find the sleepiug accommodations exceedingly poor, the inmates having to sleep on the iroD fbor with only a limited supply of blankets, We recommend that improvements in this direction be ! looked after at once, and we think j a new supply of hammocks, as were once there, should be secured and j as soon as possible. We fiod the Supervisor has, for | the present, made satisfactory ar- j rangemeats with Mr. W. P. Rjof for a supply of water for the j til. We have appointed a committee to devise some plan, with specifications and costs. by which the couDty can furuiab its own supply of water for I the jail, wirtt the und-rstandini; they cuake th ir lep r at the o i g comiog June court. We find the inside of Ibe court house is in very good condition, except the front stain a-e leading up to the courtroom where the plastering has again fallen off We recommend the plastering on the underside of these staircases be taken t fF and r? pi teed by a iling. We find the tin roof of the court bou?e requires looking af.er at onca. When the wind blows it gets under it and raises it vary much and there is great danger of it beiDg lifted entirely off at any time, which would lo great damage to the building, especially in time of rains. In fact here is now a considerable bulge in ;be cover on the Eastern side of tLe buildiDg. ' Thanking the Court, Solicitor, and court officers for their kindness shown us, we respectfully submit this, our report. W. H. F. Rist, Foreman. Mose3 Drafts, under the charge of burglary and larceny, in haviug broken into the dwelling of Sidney M. Wessinger, and haviDg stolen a double bairel shot gun and some shells, plead not guilty. The jury; found bim guilty and recommended mercy and the judge gave him five years on the chain gang. Link Jones answered "not guilty'' to the charge of murder. He killed Fred Stivender last fall and surrendered to the Sheriff. He was defended by Messrs. W. H. Sharpe and T. C. Sturkie and the case went to the jury after an houi's fight. The verdict was "guilty of involuntary manslaughter," and the sentence two epnrs nn the chain e&UEt. / " O U Thursday being a national holiday nothing was transacted. Frank Short aod James Ferguson vere called for sentence, having been jonvicted of breaking into the store >f W. H. Suber at Peak, on Dec 22d I ist, and taking from the safe, which they blew open abaut ?1,030. Since thier conviction Snort confessed to saving been with the parties who iroke in the store, and claimed that Ferguson was not in it at all, and <tated that he, (Short) had just inished a term on the Richland chain jang for vagrancy and that the other two were dischaged prisoners from this chain gang. Capt. Siigh was sent for and he came over and recognized Short as James Franklin, but fcnew nothing of Ferguson. Tae motion of Messrs. Enrd & Dumber, the attorneys for FergusoD, for a new trial was granted. Frank Short was jiven seven years at hard labor in the penitentiary: Capt Sligh gave the names of the two prisoners he discharged with Short, and who Sbort charges as being the principals. On Friday morning at 10 o'clock the court called for trial the case of the State against C. ?. Matthews, L. B. Frick, C. P. Cannon, John J. Frick, John Cannon, D. J. DeHardt ind John Fulmer, charged with the murder of W. Patrick Bowers on the lo.h July, 1899. The Solicitor and Col. George Johnstone appeared for the State, and Messrs. J. A. Muller and Efird & Dreher for the defense. Only eight jurors were secured out of the regular venire. A special venire was issued, and the following jurors were drawn from the seven mile box, and summoned for Saturday morning: G M Corley, Logan Kyzer, Geo J Gable, J E Rawl, .VI H Porth, P H Pound, .1 J Lorick, SDN Sox, S J Roof, Frank L Corley, R A Dooley, M M Gable, J T Klecklev, L W Redd, * H P Rjberts, H Albert Meetze, D C Dtafte, Jake Snelgrove, Jas A Wingard, * Jno B Sox, * J E1 Mathias, E A Kleckley, Simon M Clark,* J P Hendrix, Ocfco Hegtimn, W H Roland, Jeff D Sbull, JaE W Kaminer, S H Lever, W M Lown.

The testimony for the prosecution was closed shortly after the noon recess on Monday, thirty witnesses Having been sworn. The testimony for the defense was closed on Tuesday night, forty witnesses having been sworn. This morning the arguments were begun with Mr. J. A. Mulleropening. Mr. Etird followed Mr. Muller, who turn will be followed by the Solicitor j and after the Judge's charge the j ! case will be given to the jury this j I evening. With this case the Court of Genj eral Sessions will adjourn sine die. The jurors for the second week are ! ; in attendance, but have nothing to do. The first case on the civil side is Haitley vs. Glover et. al. The court in all probably will coutinue all next w? ek.

To the E litor of the Dispatch: As the morning of the 7th of February dawned beautiful and blight, numerous were the vehicles to be seen wending their way toward the beautiful and happy home of our jovial friend, Mr. H D.

J. A. Cromer. Congratulations were then in order and in a short time dinner was announced, and such a dinner! The table was beautiful and fairly groaned beneath its weight of nicely prepared edibles, such as the ladies of old Lexington know so well how to prepare. Many were the guests as the happy couples pirtook of thes( refreshments. The decorations were very pretty of ivy, bamboo and hot house plants. Violets and hyacinths took a prominent part in table decorations. The presents were many, useful and lovely. The afternoon was spent in "tete-a tites here and there by young and old, and the bride, having donned her traveling dress, good bye's were 8 lid, and at 5:15 o'clock tDe nappy couple boarded the north bcuud train at Birrs for their future home in Gastonia, and another pleasant day and happy event is to be recorded in the anDals of the past Lexington's loss of a fair maiden may we consider Gastonia o gaiD.
