m??acaafc? The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul} 19.18SA G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. WEDNESDAY. MAY 2. 1900. Lexington products are becoming famous the land over and their qualities of excellency creates a demand far in excess of the supply. To sell products all that has to be done is to advertise that they came from L.ex ingtoD. Ic i9 a common thiDg these davs to see Columbia merchants adyertiting "Lexington sweet potatoes," &j. Her lumber is in great demand and her mills are flooded with orders so as to necessitate many of them working day and night to keep up with orders. The brick manufac tured from her dirt has a national reputation and the manufacturers And it impossible to All orders and now her bosom is being ripped opened by powder and dynamite and she is made to reveal her hidden stores of floe granite to supply the needs of this progressive age. We clip the following from the Columbia "Across the river [in LexiDgtoD county] on the C N. and L railroad, Dear the old Saluda factory, Contractor R G Rose is getting out thous ands of tons of granite. This quarry is and baa been worked for sometime on the government contract held by Mr. Ross for the coast of this State, the rock being shipped to Georgetown via the C >ast Line. Recently Mr. Ross secured a large government contract at Jocksonville. He had intended opening a new quarry near Cayce's, but he has instead decided to take the rock from the Saluda quarries, and has wired bis manager to put on two more foremen and one hundred more meD, and ship the rock via Coast Line and Plant sys* tem. This increase in the force will mean a pay roll of from $1,200 to $1,500 a week at this quarry alone." ? = Chairman A. C. Jones, of the State Prohibition Executive Committee, * writes a very pretty letter "to the Democrats cf South Carolina," which overflows with well rounded periods and bubbles with pathetic rhetoric. It reads well in print and touches a sympathic chord and the heart responds to the symphony of home with loud amens. But we very much fear that his appeal is as meaningless as astring of high sounding adj Uives can make it. It will be remembered that two years ago a prohibition candidate canvassed this State from one end to the other, telling by word of mouth the evils of the whisky habit, and of the destruction of home by its practice, while the very platform on which he stood for office and which he was pledged, if elected to uphold, defend and enforce provided for the saleof the stuff which he so bitterly denounced in unmeasured terms and unstinted tongue, through licensed or unlicensed drug stores. Hundreds of real prohibitionists in this county and thousands in the S;ate are heartily sick of this hopo c acy. They are no advocates of the theory that "a little bit is good fjr the stomach." They want absolute prohibition of the sale of whisky and with nothing less will they be satisfied. But read Mr. Jones' lett* r published on the outside of this is sue, tben file it away carefully and compare it with the platform on which the candidates of socalltd prohibition will run for cffice. You will be surprised. f _____________________________ The friends of Colonel Wilie Jones throughout the State are pushing an active campaign favorable to his caodidacy as a delegate-at-large to the National Democratic convention which meets in Kansas City. We know of no other candidate more deserving of this honor than is Col. Jones. He has always been on the side of the people, bravely contending for the justness of their cause, and that, too, at a time when his business and social position were endangered in consequence. He will make an ideal representative and, being thoroughly in accord with the wishes of the Democracy of South Carolina, he will well and truly carry out those wishes. Lexington will no doubt send a solid delegation to the State convention favorable to his candidacy. No doubt an effort will be made at the coming Democratic State Con vention to chaDge the rules so as to do away with the county to county canvass by candidates for State aod Congressional offices. The people have a right to require persons seeking their suffrage to face them on the stump so that they can intelligently decide as to the merits and ability of the several candidates and we trust that our delegation to the Stat* Convention will oppose the proposition to change the rules in this respect should it be made. A bridge collapsed at the Paiis exposition grounds last Sunday killing six sight seerers outright and injuring forty ethers. . """ i DROPPED DEAD. The man with heart trouble never knows when his time may come. When he leaves home for work he may never return alive. He may drop dead on the street, in his pulpit, in his office, over ViJo ,,.^.,1- honch T-Tpnrf disease is no respecter of persons. The Christian minister is liable the same as anyone else. Rev. C. L. J!uncle 11 writes : "I suffered from that dreadful tired feeling and weakuess. and in iS>9> I lost niv health altogether. I went to one ot the best doctors in the state and he said I had heart, stotnach. live'- and kidnev trouble. His treatment did me no good. I tried different kinds of patent medicines but got worse all the time. If I walked up hill or a little fast it seemed as thous-h ray heart would jump out. I had almost given tip all hope, and my money was all gone; was scarce lyable to make a living. Finally I wrote Dr. Pierce and following his advice I purchased at my nearest drug store a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and a bottle of his ' Pleasant Pellets.' This was' a year ago and now I am happy to say that I am in the enjoyment of perfect health. I am so glad of my health that I cannot say too much. I first return my sincere thanks to Almighty God and then to Dr. Pierce. "I would not do without your 'Pellets' for one hundred dollars {$100.00) per month. " Do not think I am exaggerating. My statement is true and if any doubt it they can write to Pinegrove. Ohio, where I live, and if any should think this an assumed name and that such a man as C. L. Mundell does not exi?t. they may look in the minutes of Providence Association, or in the Baptist Year Book, in the list of Elders, and they will find my name." Constipation and biliousness are radically cured by Dr. Pierce's Pellets. PENCIL AM) SCISSORS. Wayside Notes Gathered Here and There by a Dispatch Man. Monday is salesday.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART CCTTLES. "DANCER IN THE EARTH AND AliS; DANGER EVERYWHERE.'* A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading* hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician wasconversing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My lirm belief, is " that medical sen-nee is certain yet to show that all diseases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organisms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh." " I wish. Doctor." said the traveling man, "that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and 1 am thoroughly discouraged.'1 The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially |bv? mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease IS especially jH I"\ainit m me umicu oca tea anu ii/ ir? i axv; c kj uiwv vuv who is not, or lias not been troubled more or le ss with it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of man}' intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from catarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient beeomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. " I believe." eonftnued this great plrrsician, "that the true way to heal catarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers/' Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:?For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. 1 was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were al ways cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doctors said my blood had ail turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever getting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsapariila. I took it, and then I bought another. When these had been used. I was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was refreshing. and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. lam positive that the Sarsapariila saved my life.
