Tie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., W?DNESOAY, MARCH U. 1SOO. THE COUNTY PAIS. By reference to the proceedings cf the Executive Committee of the Lexington County Fair Association it will be seen that the report of the finance committee was very encouraging and the Association is on a substantial basis. This report is indeed gratifying to the friends cf the a ?hpainniner of ?L S'JCtatlUU auu an vuv ~~ o 0 toe fourth year of its existence the Association is met with flattering prospects which augers well for the successful termination of the Fourth annual fair which will commence on Tuesday, October 23, and continue through Thursday, the 25tb. The Association, for a county fair, has been very liberal in the matter of premiums and has in contemplation the introduction of aseiiescf amusements for the entertainment of visitors and in connection with these features the grounds and appurtenances are to be repaired and greatly improved so as to combined convenience with comfort, and to complete the improvements a plentiful supply of water to meet the requirements of man and beast will be provided on the grounds. The Associa ** 1 '-*J ;A? ?moll lirinu. lion lias isiu ms ^jouo ??< .?D iDg the claims of the fair prominently before the people of Lexington county and confidentally appeal to their county pride for assistance in the great and patriotic endeavor to attract the attention of the homeserker, the artisan and the capitalists to Lexington county by providing a means by which its unrivalled and inexhaustible resources can be exhibited to the best advantage and Ko hondiwnrk of the artisan and the manufacturer shown for the best resuits. r-'. * It is expected of the people to do their full share in this matter. They should take a deeper interest in this county enterprise and bestir themselves in its behalf. Each person in the county should prepare one or more articles for exhibition and each neighborhood should be creditably represented in the grand display of specimens which go to make up the industrial, manufacture, mechanical and agricultural interests of our county. It is as certain as certain can be that if we do not make an effort to advance, our own interests no one ST' will do so for us. We must use every honorable means as they arise and make opportunities to keep the resources of grand old LexiDgton prominently before those people seeking a change of homes for health, or the betterment of their financial condition, or for the investment of capital in money makiDg enterprises. Oar county, more so perhaps than any of her sisters, is filled with grand possibilities and if it was demonstrated in a plain practical way what Lexington is capable of producing and doing, the day would not be far in the distance when our sand hills and clay lands will be yielding bountiful harvests as a re ward of labor, our desert places pecpled with thrifty, sober and industrious families and the hum of manufactories be music to the ears. One of the best means to this end is through the medium of the county fair. Therefore all classes should take a deep interest in its success and encourage it with substantial assistance. At the risk of being considered old fashioned we would suggest to the enteitainment committee as a source of amusement to our visitorp, to set apart one evening for an "invisible" parade to be ended with a grand fancy ball. This parade would be participated in by a great num ber of young men and attract many visitors to our town. The experiment is well worth trying. Columbia has a sensationtal case of poisoning in which it is alleged that a wife poisoned ber husband by administering arsenic. Much damaging evidence has been adduced, but as there is two sides to a question it will be well for the public to suspend judgment until the facts are developed in a court of competent jurisdiction. Fort Sumter Earle was yesterday Dominated by the Democratic primary for Mayor of Columbia, defeating W. McB. Sloan thirty-nine votes. Representatives of the press gang left Columbia for Cuba yesterday, j They will remain several days in 14 wa r\ o | JLXCk v uua. The Governor has received information that small pox is very prevalent in Beaufort and help is asked to stamp out the disease. Major General Joe Wheeler, U. S A., has resigned, giving as a reasonfor so doing, that the Fillipino insurrection being over, he is no longer Deeded. The waters of discord and strife has again been disturbed in K^ntucty and last Sunday there came uncomfortably near being a fatal collision between the partisans of the rival claimants for the Governorship of that State. At one time during the day the situation wa9 intensely exciting and a bloody and disgraceful riot, the scope of which cannot be overestimated, was averted ed only by a hair breadth. Prominent among the causes which led up to the stirring events of that memorable Sunday, was the reinstatement of the military power in complete con ! _- i? ;i J: trol of tfce state executive ouuu;ug and tbe refusal of the military authorities to allow tbe local police and civil officers to enter the building for the purpose of arresting Secretary of State Caleb Powers and Captain John W. Davie, charged with being accessories to the assassination of Governor Goebel. After being pro tected by the military authorities Powers and Davis were provided with disguises and safely passed the Sheriff's men. They were conveyed to the depot and placed upon a train and were soon speeding toward Lexington under the protection of a rquad of soldiers. Their escape being discovered a hot chase after the fleeing fugatives was immediately commenced and they were soon located on board the train and the civil I authorities at Lexington were noti* . i fied to arrest tbem upon tneir arrival there, which was accomplished after Powers was knocked senseless with a policeman's Billy while attempting to draw his revolver. The news of their capture and incarceration rap idly spread and the Taylor people openly threatened to march upon Lexington in numbers and forcibly release the prisoners. Both the Democrats and Republicans began to arm themselves and for awhile pan demonium reigned supreme. The attempt at release was not made and wise counsels were heeded car rowly averted bloodshed. At a conference of the Adjutant Generals of the contending forces an armistice was arranged by agreeing to await the decision of the courts and in the meantime arrests and prosecutions will temporarily cease. Governor Beckham has keen voted a $100,000 war fund. The Boers continue to retreat before the advance of the British. The war clouds are rolling by and peace seems to be a certainty in the near future. The Boers have apparently exhausted their resources and are prolonging the struggle in the hope that the powers will intercede and secure honorable and advantageous terms of peace to the Boer Republic. Uncle Sam has offered his goodly offices to pave the way to the removal of the bone of contention, which will probably be accepted by both governments. Meantime the Boers are stubbonly resisting and the English are as persistingly advancing and men are being shot down on both sides. The committe on foreign affairs of the United States Senate favors giving Queen Lil, the mulatto ex-qoeen of Hawaii. $20,000 down and $10,000 a year as long as she lives as a salve to her wounded feelings by reason of her dethronement and the confiscation of her domains. The wards of the nation comes pretty high, but Uncle Sam must have pets Col. Jack Chinn, the man who was with Governor Goebel at the time he received the fatal bullet in his side at Frankfort, Ky, has sued Miss Kate Banta for $25,000 damages for declaring in the presence of other persons that she saw Chinn shoot Goebel. MRS. ANDERSON'S BABY. You couldn't convince Mrs. Anderson that Cupid ever was as pretty as her little girl. Mrs. H. C. Anderson is well known in Soutn .Britain, t_onn., wnere sne lives. She is very enthusiastic about Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription although no more so than thousands of other women who f- - have been simimonth of the Y/Wkeep anything on Srent doctors" but with little benefit. I began to take your * Favorite Prescription ' in November aud I had a nice little baby girl in February following. I was only in hara labor about one hour and was up and dressed on the eighth day. I never had the doctor with mc at all; ju^t the nurse and two friends. This makes my second child; with the first one I did not take the ' Favorite Prescription,' and the little oue was sick all the time and lived just about two months. This last baby is as plump and healthy as any mother could wish. She is about three weeks old now and is gaining in flesh every day." Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to or succeeding the baby's birth are invited to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce, by letter, absolutely without charge. The great success which has attended the careful methods pursued bv Dr. Pierce, has caused imitators to spring up, who make offers of free advice, whicli they are not competent to give, not being physicians. When you are invited to "write to a woman," ask the simple question, " Is this woman a physician?" You will find that she is not, and does not, and dares not claim to be, a physician. To offer such advice { is deceitiul. To receive it is dangerous. Prosoective mothers should send for a free copy of Dr. Pierce's great 1,000 page hook the "Common Sense Medical Adviser." A copy in paper-covers will be sent to any address on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay cost of mailing only; in cloth-binding 31 stamps. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.

Miss Diisy Bjuknight who is teaching in Saluda county paid a short visit to her parents Saturday aDd Sunday. A factory meeting is called for Tuesday night. All the stock holders will be present as important business will be transacted. Mr. L. L. Sbealy, our efficient depot agent was happily married to Miss Olive Swearengin of TrentoD, on last Wednesday. The happy couple spent a few days visiting relatives in North Carolina. They returned home Sunday morning and are receiving the congratulations of their many friends. May their life way be strewn with roses. Mr. J. Henry B jdie has returned from a trip south. J. Henry was travelling for his health and we guess he must have found it as he seems so much improved. Miss Eihel Adkisson, the manager of Mr. H. F. Hendrix's millinery establishment, has gone to Baltimore to buy up their spring and summer stock. Sol. March 12, 1900. finmo nf TV Stokes' Good Work. Special to the Dispatch. Washington, March 12, 1900. The poet office at Batesburg baa been allowed one hundred and sixty dollars additional pay for clerk hire for separating mails. Congressman Stokes has done much work in this direction, getting over four thousand dollars last year for this purpose for post offices in his district. The wishes of the people in the Brock settlement has been complied with by the establishment of a post office in that community called "Number", with Mr. S. W. Craps as postmaster. These people will no doubt appreciate the strenous efforts of the Doctor to meet their wants against the many adverse circumstances with which he had to contend. This makes quite a "number" of offices his untiring zeal has procured. I woman's j I Life.... 1 is hard enough as A it is.

To the Editor of the Dispatch. We regret to say that the school Dear Convent which Mr. A. J. Boatwright has been teaching closed last Friday. His school was well governed and the scholars had their speeches and dialogues well momorized. The dialogue between Misses Mary Tyler and Pearl Bawls was well rendered. We hope that Mr. Boatwright will teach there again. We were glad to see somebody from up the country at these exercises. We enjoyed the cake, Mr. Editor. You ought to have been there to help eat it. [What's the use to remind us of these good things when we are "to near and yet so far.'' We begrudge every morsel of that cake, and if you and Klondike don't, cease these reminders we will vote you clear out of God's country.?Ed. Dispatch ] The last but best was the dancing.
