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.

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 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.

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.

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'

the year 1000. This calendar is sent

hear healthy children. 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.

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.

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.

To the E litor of the Dispatch:
As the morning of the 7th of February

to witness the bappy nuptials of his

George G. Glenn of Gistonia, N. C.
As the marriage bells sweetly rang
out the hour of high noon, the melodious
strains of the lovely redding
march could be distinctly heard, as it
was rendered by the talented Mrs
Sheill of Columbia and the accom
pliehed Mis3 Julia Aberaethy of
Cbarkt'e.
The following were the select
fliends of bride and groom that took
part in the happy affai.: M;ss Annie

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

her traveling dress, good bye's were
