The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25. 1900. Improvements are still going on in Lexington and the old town has ciught a very severe case cf building fever which is not likely to yield to ioerta again. The town, with Lexington, capital has recently been placed in talking communication with her sister cities by a system of long distance telephone. By the active influence of a Lexington gentleman we now ei joy the convenience of a morniDg and evening train to and from Columbia, which is beneficial alike to Lexington and Columbia, and with a little more regularity in schedule would be more so. Among the enterprises which are probabilities of the near future it gives us pleasure to mention the organization of another cotton manufacturing company, the establishment of another bank, the coming 01 another railroad within the corporate limits of tb^town, the operation of a brickyard, a cotton seed oil mill, a grist mill and cotton gin, a general wjrk and repair shop, a canning factory, the opening of an inexhaustible bed of fine granite and bent wood factory, water works for fire protection, electric lights, and electric railway, new stores. This is only a partial list of the many prospective enterprises, some of which will doubtless soon be commenced. There is now in actual course of construction numerous dwellings and other buildings. Our suburbs are increasing in population and building of various kinds which are evidences of a growing and progressive town. Last Monday dirt was broken for the enlargment of one business house and the ertction of a new one. The ' *- -J u contractors nave cuuiuieuwu wui&uu the addition of the store of W. P Rocf aDd wheu completed it will tea handsome two story frame building On the same day Dr. Julian E. Kaufmann commenced work on his larpe brick buildiDg on the site of the o'd Drafts' Hotel, opposite this office . This building will contain two roomy stores about fifty feet deep, ard when the building is completed it will stand as a handsome tribute to Dr. Kaufmann's enterprise and faith in the future of Lexington. Let the good work of improvement continue and may these substantial evidences of enterprise and progress be multiplied an hundred fold. The Boers still continue to harass the British in and around Bloemfontein. The Boers seemingly have taken on new life and activity and the war fever is a white heat with no signs of abatement. The British have failed to relieve Mafeking. The reinforcements sent by Lord Roberts iU ill IUXS 1C11C1 Ui n rucuui ua?t been defeated with considerable loss and compelled to retreat. The latest dispatches indicate that the Boers have half encircled Bloemfontein to the eastward in a crescent formation, and it ''begins to appear that the British must soon begin their retreat to the north or run great risk of being cat off and finally surrounded and captured as was Gen. Cronje's army." The British will undoubtedly eventually succeed in conquering the Boers but it will be at a tremendous sacrifice of life and a heavy outlay of money. General Joseph Wheeler has at last found out "where he is at." Almost since the beginning of the war with Spain, he has been a member of Congress from one of the Alabama districts and a Major Gen erai in the United States Volunteer Army. - His right to retain his seat in Congress, while holding a commis Biuu iu tuo ai uij, uas uccu uuic auu again brought into question yet the General held on to both offices with a tenacity worthy a drowning man clutching to a straw. But at la3t he has been compelled by the force of public opinion to retire from one or t le other positions and preferring the sword to the "voice" he has resigned his seat in Cjngress. The General is a dashing cavalry leader and history will yet chronicle the fact that he is entitled to the honor and glory of the brilliant victory of the battle of Santiago. He is a born soldier and has added lustre to the flag * under which he fought. It is said ibat a call will be issued io a few days for a prohibition conference to assemble in Columbia on May 23rd, to consider the advisability of putting candidates in the Democratic primaries for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. It is probable also that prohibition candidates for members of the General Assembly will be put in the field in every county in the State. Several wrecks have lately been reported on the Southern railway. Whether the accidents occurred by 1 reason of the telegraphers strike or ' they resulted from other causes is j oot stated by the dispatches. I ??wmmm???? Tbere is a fine opening at this place for the establishment of a cotton seed oil mill on a small scale. Some time ago we published the t xperience of tome farmers in many sections of Georgia, who have form, d joint stock companies to operate these mills for local convenience and profit and in every instance they have proven a profitable investment There is no reason why such a mill would not pay here. Our farmers have the cotton seed and they consume large quantities of cotton seed meal and they can save money by coming together and putting in an j Oil Mill plant to manufacture their own cotton seed meal and hulls, and that of their neighborhoods, than by s lling their cotton seed and buying their meal, besides receiving a handsome profit from the oil of the seed. All of the labor organizations o Columbia have united for the purpose of protecting themselves from the practice of business men and others in sending out of the city to have work done. As an illustration we recently saw a pamphlet havirg title of ''.frogessive Uoiumdip, -Gearing the imprint of a Charleston printing house. We concluded that the compilers showed very little progress in not patronizing the printing establishments of Cjlumbia, who could do the work equally as well if not better. The labor organizations have a just cause for complaint and we trust that they will succeed in arousing public sentiment so that local enterprise will be patronized and local labor employed. This is true progressiveDesp. The United States Senate committee has submitted its report to that body as to the right of Senator Clark to respresent Montana. The report is unanimous sgainst seating him. It is charged that he spent more money o i his election than is allowed by the 1. ws of that State and that he and bis agents did not make the return of expenses required by the State law. It is probable that the report w 11 be adopted and Mr. Clark returned home as a private citizen. In ihe long run it pays to be honest. Taylor, claiming to be Governor of Kentucky has fLd the State to keep from being arrested. He has sought refuge in the State of New York and has besought Governor R)osevelt to refuse to recognize the extradition papers signed by Governor Beckham. Later advices state that Mr. Taylor has decided to go back to Kentucky and face his accusers' demand for an immediate trial on the indictment for complicity in the Goebel murder. It seems that the power of the Pre sidentto establish agovemment in Porto Rico is to be tested in the courts. It is contended that he cannot do so without authority of Congress. In the settlement of the contention there will be good pickings for the lawyers. i In the Louisiana State electicn held on Tuesday, the 18ih, the Dimocrats swept the field. The , constitutional amendment authoriz- j i ig the city of New Orleans to issue ] $14,000,000 bonds for water, sewer- ( age and drainage purposes was , adrmted. - j r ] Admiral Remey bas relieved Ad- < miral Watson in command of the < Asiatic Squadron.

He has sei ved his Ward as Alderman for several terms with conspicious ability and is a brainy ycuDg man. Newberry might look fuither for an executive and do worse. Lexington, his native home, wish him success. The merchants of Columbia will be asked to close their stores at 7 o'clock next Saturday to give the clerks a chance to attend the society circuB. The "[Tinted States Senate has refused to seat Mr. Matthew S. Qjay od the appointment of the Governor of Pennsylvania. Representative Levy of New York has introduced a bill in the lower house of Congress to repeal the war revenue act. The friends of Col. Wilie Jones will push him for a delegate-at large to the National Democratic Convection. Disastrous floods are reported from nearly every section of the South. A case of small pox is reported from Abbeville county. 4,000 persons died last week in India from the bubonic plague. "I have long thought it mv rhitv to write you a few lines to let you know what Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done forme," writes Mrs. Euphemia Falconer, of Trent, Muskegon Co., Mich. "I am twenty-seven years old; have been married ten years. I am the mother of four children. My first two babies were still- ^ bora, and 1 suf- ilk fered everything ^ ^ but death* My / friends all thought I could 4? \ never recover. ' I \ ? was reduced to I / iop pounds. Wnen I was three months was taken with ///lids' hemorrhage or JY [ VWo&x' flooding and yd^ * x dy came near hav- yy^si y&fc ing a miscarriage /y^ frj \ \ from female ^ij I \ r ^ weakness. For Ul 1 two months I was under the care of our doctor, but was getting weaker all the time until one day I sent and got three bottles of ' Favorite Prescription ' and one bottle of ' Pellets.' I improved so fast. I continued to take your medicine until baby was born, and he is healthy and all right. He'is four years old. My baby girl is two years old. My health has been good ever since. I now weigh 165 pounds and when I begin to feel badly I take ' Favorite Prescription' which always helps me. I always tell my neighbors what helps me and a good many have taken your ' Favorite Prescription' with good results." The "Favorite Prescription" has cured more women than all other medicines for women combined. It is the only preparation of its sort devised by a regularly graduated physician?a skilled and experienced specialist in the diseases of women. Other medicines are sometimes sold on the plea that they are 'just as good as the ' Favorite Prescription.' " Don't believe it. Don't be imposed upon. Counterfeits are never as good as the genuine. Uver 250,000 women nave endorsed " favorite Prescription." They say there is nothing "just as good" and they know. Would you rather have the say-so of one dealer who makes an extra profit on the substitute, than the provable words of 250,000 \vt>men whose only object in recommending the "Favorite Prescription" is their desire to help their suffering sisters?

SEVEN RUNNING SORES CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Encrgizer, is ilii greatest SPRING 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 eyery 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 hope, 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 specific germs of the disease. But in this way. every part of the body became more or less diseased. Nothing 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 are 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 I 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 vitalizer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and exhaustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is the life." Good health means pure blood. The eld and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discovered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil. BLOOD POISOX CUBED BY JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Byron, Mich., October 31, 1894. Williams, Davis. Brooks & Co..
