The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul\ 19.1894. CJ. M. HABMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WIDNfSDAT. MARCH 21, 1100. c GIVE THEM ENCOURAGEMENT. General Davis declares that 500 tons of food supplies are required weekly to meet the necessities of the starving poor in Porto Rico. It would be cheaper, and better in the end, for this Government to give to each head of a family on that island forty acres and a mule and tell them to root hog or die. We have already enough poor in this grand and glori ous country to consume all the charity this government is diposed to give. Having already been made tne damping ground for the pauperism aDd the rag tag element of other countries we have now a large and constantly increasing army of tramps and hoo boes who are not too honest to steal Dor too proud to beg. By the criminal indifference and false charitableness cf this government whose pocketbook flies upon too quickly to the cry of real or imaginary distress, we are woefully affl-cted with a very undesirable class of immigrants who have sought our hospitable shores to play upon the sickly sentimentality of the powers that be. Here upon this land hallowed by the holy consecration of the Pilgrim fathers to the God of nature and the patron of industry and thrift so that V they might enjoy the blessings that flow from them in peace and quiet, the midnight murderer, the thief, the red handed anarchist, the idle and the thriftless And a safe retreat to feast like the vultures of the air upon the products of toil and industry. k We by no means oppose this government in bestowing charity upon the deserving, but it should be done with discrimination and with a view to elevate rather than debase the recipient. True charity and that which has the most lasting effect and wins the confidence and esteem of those who are the objects of charity, consists cot so much in giving temporary relief by satisfying the pangs of hunger today which has to be repeated tomorrow or the last state will be worse than the first, as it doee in giving that assistance having a tendency to inspire confidence and bring into play self reliance. The exercise of these elements which are found to a greater or lesser quantity in the character and nature of all human beinis is calculated to cultivate and encourage the habits of industry and lead to the making of a happy and prosperous people and consequently . good and useful citizens of whom any nation might feel proud. In helping those unfortunate people who by the fortunes of war are thrown upon the protection of this government and are entitled to its warmest sympathies,give them not the shadow for the substance. Let the authorities at "Washington aDd the philanthropic inclined, forget not in giv iog their aim*, the higher and nobler gifts which will appeal to their manhod and develop the nobler and truer elements of their nature. Let them be taught to depend upon their own efforts for a livelihood and g ve them to understand that upon the amount of intelligent and persevering toil, whether of head or hand,will their success depend. Supply them with all the means and implements which are neccessary for the prosecution of the varied avocations ine'dent t > our Christian civilizition. Encourage them by precept and example and by the exercise of patience the plain as well as the intricate details of industry and if we are but faithful to the great and grave responsibilities which God has placed upon us as a nation we shall soon make of them an enlightened and prosperous people who will bless the day from the open fountains of hearts ove? flowing with gratitude, that brought them under the folds of the American flag. A Washington correspondent writing to the Columbia State, over date of March I6tb, sayf: '"Two measures of national importance and many of slightly lesser interest were passed by the Senate today. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation Kill <u?rinn oKnnl 000 000 VfiS Will, \sai i jr 11J^ av/vui w) vw vy Mv , passed without debate. The committee amendments were agreed to as the bill was being read. The measure providing for the appointment cf a committee to adjudicate and settle claims against the United States growing out of the war with Spain, was also passed without opposition, Admiral and Mr3. Dewey arrived in Savannah on their special train last Monday, and notwithstanding the heavy rain that was falling, the people of that staid old city turned out en ma*se and gave the distinguished visitors a rousing reception. The big day for the occasion of the visit of Admiral Dewey was yesterday and the SavanahiaDS did themselves proud. Thirty-two thousaud additional British tie ops for South Afiica are ut sea on tbeir way to the seat of war. Iu is expected that before they i-eath Africa's sunny chme war will have ended and they will fiud the people pursuing the iudustiies of peace. It is said that K>ntuckians now ! keep one hand on the pistol pocket and the other on the whisky bottle, and between the two they are kept very busy. CONSUMPTION. The germs of consumption are everywhere. You may breathe them in with the air, drink them with water, eat them with your food. They are not dangerous if you are in perhea^h but if fffc you have a slight cold, or cough, or mk if >'ou have inher Witea weaK lungs, or if you are weak and run-down genOnce consumption gets a strong most impossible to dislodge it. The time to cure it is at the beginning or before it starts. If you are run-down ? build yourself up. Make every tissue so strong and well'that consumption germs cannot find a foothold. Fill your body with rich, red blood? build up strong, healthy flesh?put your digestive system in perfect order. Don't drag along half dead. You may be well as well as not. The following letter from Mrs. Jennie Dingman, of Van Buren, Kalkaska Co., Mich., will tell you how to do it. She says: "Before I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery I was hardly able to do my work at all; had pain in my left side and back, and had headache all the time. I tried your medicine and it helped me. Last spring I had a bad cough; got so bad I had to be in bed all the time. My husband thought I had consumption. We thought we would try- Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover}* and before I had taken one bottle the cough stopped and I have since had no signs 01 its returning." Brookland News. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The weather is beautiful and the farmers are taking every advantage of it. A few days ago some school children near Cayce noticed some signs of something buried in the woods i and upon examination unearthed boxes of snuff, glasses, etc. The goods were evidently stolen from the railroads and placed in the manner described for safe keeping. Any information concerning same will be given by addressing Mr. E. E. Haygood who has the articles in his possession. Mr. S. I- Hook had stolen from him two sets of buggy harness last week. Thefts sre getting to be a common thing around. Hon. W. H. Sharpe, while passing through to Columbia last week, spent a short time in our town shaking bands with old friends and making new acquaintances. Mr. ' Sharpe wears the smile cf a candidate aspiring for higher honors. On last Sunday Lexington Lodge I. O. O. F. joined Palmetto and Congaree Lodges of Columbia in a special sermon preached to the order by Rev. Pratt. Tbe Masonic Lodge here is now in possession of their dispensation The temple has been refitted with new fixtures and all things are ready for the conferiing of degrees. Mr. Witt is ceitainly a ''hustler". Through his effort this ancient order was first started here and with such men at the helm a large membership will surely be tbe resolt. Mumps, roseola, etc., are making the rounds amoDg our citizens. A. D. Shull is still confined to his home from sickness. Prof. John S. D^nick spent Friday in Newberry and on his return stopped over at Hilton a couple of days with his parents. Mr. D. K. Sox will soon begin the addition of a second story to his h ;use on Augusta street. Misses Dora and Allie Dent of Columbia, visited the home of Mrs. WT. D Dent last week. Boots Koon and Spencer SloaD, who have just finished serving a sentence of 30 days on the gang, w.re returned her1 to answer the charges of stealing chickens. They plead guilty and were resentenced s ime length of time or pay a fiue of $15. D. Dots from Around and About Union. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The school at Union, taughi by Lewis M. Smith, closed last Friday with appropriate exercises for the occasion. I The far-.nprs nf this section are : backward in preparing their lands ; on account of the wet and diegatee| able weather. There will be communion service : at St. David church on the fourtb i i Sunday in this month. J The mill dam formerly owned by I Mr. Isaiah Roof has been replaced | by Oney Steel, and the mill is now I ready to jump. Messrs. Raleigh Kaiser & Calvin 1 Shall will engage in the turpentine business again this year. ! With best wishes io the Dispatch. Sum. < ^ Fine northern apphs, lemons and ; bananas at the Bazaar. Batesburg Items. To ihe EJitor of the Dispatch: Thursday afternoon last a difficulty occurred on the streets of our towo between L. T Perry and S F. Perry, brothers, and H. W. Sbuler, duiing which Mr. Shuler was shot by S. F. Perry, the ball took effect on the lower It ft side of the stomach and was supposed to be very serious. Dr. E K Hardin wired Dr. Wright and Dr. Mo-^re of Augusts, who came on first train, and after an exhaustive surgical operation lasting two hours and a half they concluded to take him to the hospital in Augusta, where the appliances and other advantages were such as to give them some hope of saving his life. The Southern train stopped at Mr Sbulei's house and he was conveyed to the hospital and all that skill and science can do is being used and so far apparently with some prospect of success. The universal wish is that he may be spared and return to his family and friends. The Perry's have given bail for assault ai d battery, and no other steps in this un fortunate affair will be taken unless the worse should happen by the death of Mr. Shuler. The cause of the trouble was only a slight difference in the family circle that would otherwise have blown over and never been thought of again in a week s time. The fnquent rains have retarded farm operations very much and the only lines the farmers seem to be up to date on is a plentiful supply of guano ready to swell the cotton crop The lumber business is still on a i _ - J it. ?r 11 _ i Ji_ ooom biju iue luuis cau uaiujj' supply the demand. Doctor Theo. A. Q lattlebaum of Winnsboro, has located in our town to practice medicine. He is a graduate of Vandeibilt University and comes highly recommended. He is a grandson of the late General Paul Quattlebaum. Since my last we have had two marriages in town: L. T. Perry and Miss Jennie Clinkscales of Mississippi, were married by Rev. A. C. Wilkins D.D., and "W. D Rikard and Miss Nannie Bedenbeau were married by the Rev. Mr. Anderson. The congratulations of the town for the grooms and best wishes for brides are theirs without exception. March 20. Occasional. Statements from Selma, To the Editor of the Dispatch: Farm operations have been very much delayed on account of unfavorable weather. Very little plowing has been done. If late blooming is an indication of a fruit cron we mav exneet an over production of peaches, as no blooms -have yet appeared. Our farmers are not likely to indulge in a very great increase iu the acreage of cotton, but will make a strong effort to produce all the necessary food for man and bea3t, and in addition, and as an extra, all the cotton possible. Small grain is looking remarkably well, especially wheat, and the man who puts a roller mill in the Fork will be likely to have a large custom Misses Ctrrie E eazer and Nannie Pearson were visiting relatives at and near Selma last Wednesday and Thursday. Mrs. D. A. Richardson and Mrs. J. C. Snealy, of White Rock, visited the family of Mr. J. E. Haltiwanger last Fiiday. The i4Big pasture" is nearly finished. 0. WOMAN IS LIKE A DELICATE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT In good condition she is sweet and lovable, and sings life's song on a joyful harmonious string. Out of order or unstrung, there is discordance and unhappiness. Just as there is one key note to all music so there is one key note to health. A woman might as well try to fly without wings as to feel well and look u/e!l u/h;le the nrcrani that make her a wnmjn are weak or diseased. She must be healthy inside or she can't be healthy outside. There are thousands of women suffering silently all over the country. Mistaken modesty urges their silence. While there is nothing more admirable than a modest woman, health is of the first importance. Every other consideration should give way before it.
