Tile Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. -r G. M. HARM AN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1S00. THEY ARE IN RIGHT CHURCH BUT WRONG PEW. We cannot understand why the Southern members of Congress are so opposed to the proposition of levying a tariff tax cn the products of Porto Rico shipped to this country when it is a known fact that the products of that island comes in direct competition with those of the South only. According to the eternal fitness of things the Northern Congressmen should be the ones ar rayed against a tariff on Porto Rican goods, because the people living north of Mason and Dixon line can get their vegetables, fruits, melons, rice, sugar, tobacco, etc , at a much lower figure without a tariff duty than these commodities can te purchased from the South. The North raises none of these products to any extent and they are large consumers of them. The difference in the class of labor is such that the South cannot well compete with their Porto Rican competitors and their already small profits will be still smaller had not duty been placed on these articles, as a coneequence many who are now engaged io th:s new industry, which has proven so beneficial to the strug gling South, would be forced out of the market and in many instances improvements would be abandoned and a return to the ruinous all coitt n theory will be the result. The day has passed when it pays to hang od to the alleged traditions of our forefathers and follow the time dimmed ruts made by them at the* birth of the Republic. Experience and logic teaches that it doesn't pay and that T?h;ch doesn't pay the pro ducer for the trouble and expense of producing should be forsaken and other methods adopted for the ac compli8bment of the ends in view. If we expect to see the South blosfcm as the rose; if we expect to see her-farmers and laborers prospering we must adopt new ideas more suitable to the spirit of the times. Because our granddaddies went to mill with^corn in one end of the bag and a rock in the other to balance the bag across the horse's back, is no reason why we should do the same; because they ploughed with oxen is it any argument that we should do so? So it is with the tariff. If it is proven by experience and demonstrated by uncontrovertable facts, that the farmers and laborers of the South are benefited by a protective tariff, and that free trade is hurtful, is it policy to cry for free trade simply because some dead statesman, whose memory is almost forgotten, is said to have believed that free trade was a good tfcmgT we are nviDg in a live and progressive age, not in the dead past. We must, therefore alapt ourselves to present conditions and living issues and not bang on to those of the dead past. < . Charles H. Allen, of Massachu setts will be the first American Gov % ernor of Porto Rico, he having been appointed to that position by Presi dent McKinley. His administration will be the first lesson given the Porto Ricans in the art of self government and we hope for the sake of the fair name of America and for the sake of our Christian civilization his administration will be wise, judicious and free from the slanders of demogogic politicians. "Gov. Allen will be inaugurated at San Juan on May 1st, and Gen. Davis, the military governor, will turn out all of the United States troops under his command in honor of the occasion. The ships of the squadron will fire salutes, which will be answered by the shore batteries There will be some speeches and at night the fleet will use their electric lights and there will be general illumination." The railroad telegraphers on t! e Southern system raised the danger signal and left their instruments and went out on a strike on the morning (f April 12, at 11 o'clock, with a few exceptions. Traffic was not interrupted and the trains were only a few minutes late. Strikes under do circum stances should be resorted to. They are the fruitful cause of a state cf * i i l m i_ anarcny, ana aimosi mvariaoiy :eaa to violence and law bresking and are the breeders of contention and strife which disturbs the peace of the com muity. All grievances and differences between capital and labor can generally be adjusted without friction and lo3S of timo by a;bitration. Judge W. C. Benet quashed 01 e cf the indictments against Col. Ntal, ex superintendent of the penitentiary, leaving one more against him. His tiial demonstrated what the Dispatch has all along contended, that there was but little real merit in the charges against him. All the hue and cry about his large shortage was but the persecution of political enemies. ' . "f*V Report has it that Col. Bryan wanted United States Cncuit Judge, Henry CUy Cildwell, of Arkansas, for the second place on the National Democratic ticket, but the Judge has declined to try for the nomination and Col. Bryan is greatly disappointed. It is possible that Dewey will be offered the place. A special from St. Petersburg says that Russia, Germany and France have prepared an ultimatum to England that if she does not conclude host lities in South Africa with n a week, AfghmVan will be in vaded by an army of 120,000 men. Ti e Richland county jury failed to agree upon a verdict in the case of Mrs. G.addick, who is charged with murdering her husband, and a mistiial was ordered. The case will not again be called this session. Gen. Roberts is about to advance on Pretoria, but as the winter season has set in his march will be attended by difficulties from the weather aod the Boers and his progress will necessarily be slow. Great damage to lives and property has been wrought by heavy floods in the Mississippi valley. We all covet strength and admire it. We look at the marvelous muscular development of a Sandow with envy and straightway resolve to buy a pair A of dumb bells and get strong, as if the secret of / /W&A\ strength lay in muscles. Strength begins in the stomach. It begins there because there the / strength elements are j?T* manufactured, and 'j'' ^ from there they are ?4y distributed to blood, gans and blood nh'' aq \| making glands workmg order. ' That is the foundation of strength. Exercise puts on the superstructure of development. To establish the stomach and the digestive and nutritive functions in perfect health, there is no medicine so sure and so satisfactory as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover}-. It strengthens the stomach, enriches the blood, nourishes the nerves, and regulates the functions of every vital organ of the body. " About twelve years ago I was suddenly taken with a pain in the pit of the stomach which was so violent I could not walk straight." writes O. S. Copeuhaver, Esq.. of Mount Union, Huntingdon Co.. Pa., (Box 222). " It would grow more severe until it caused waterbrash and vomiting of a slimy vellow water. I consulted a physician and he told me I had a form of dyspepsia and treated me for about six months with but little benefit. I still kept getting so weak I could scarcely walk. I men ineu anoiner pnysician ami n?r iuiu ine my liver was out of order and that I had indigestion. He pave me a treatment and I got some better but only for a short time. I then took to using several widely advertised patent medicines. but received no more than temporary relief while using. I then tried Dr. Pierce's medicines, using his ' Golden Medical Discovery.' ' Favorite Prescription ' and the ' Pleasant Pellets.' and in two months' time I was feeling better than I had for years before. 1 can truthfully say Dr. Pierce's' medicines did me more good than any I had ever taken." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, looS-pages. fully illustrated, is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps (cost of mailing only) for paper edition, or 31 stamps for edition bound in doth. Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. -o- * Post Office Re-established. Washington, April 16?The post ( ffice at Lake City, S. C , has been reestablished and Mrs. Delia D. Carter, (white), appointed postmaster. This was done upon petitions filed by practically all of the white and colored citizens requesting reestablishment of the office and this lady's appointment. The colored people submitted a separate petition requesting her appointment. There has been no post office at Like C.ty since the colored postmaster there was killed by a mob two years ago.

JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Encrgicer. is tk-3 j greatest SPR1NQ MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from heaven to the "worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nourished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring, time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia hysteria and nervousness generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action: it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new nope, new strength follow its faithful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the speciftc germs of the disease. But in this way. every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks virulently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones arc honey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring decay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION! Every particle of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and vitalicer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex- j haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals, ana fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current cf vitality. "The blood is the life." Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, s universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discovered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil. BLOOD TOISOX COED BY JOHXSTOX'S SARSAPARILLA, Byron, Mich.. October 31, 1894. Williams. Davis. Brooks & Co..
