Hie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894 G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. W^DNSS^AY. MAY 10 1 900. DOES THE SHOE PINCH YOU? Attentioo is directed to the article on the outside of this i?sue under the caption of 4 Your 0 vo Town." It cerluinly contains rich food for thought and wholesome lessons that should not only be thoroughly memorized but practiced as well. Ic also coD'ains some bard licks against old fogies and calamity howlers who are such a drawback and obstacle to the progress of the community in which they reside. Header, does the shoe pinch you? Are you classed amoDg ihose who decry every effort made to increase the business of your town and to advance its prosperitj? Are you making any effort to build up its business and increase its growth? If you are, then you are too busy to hurt your town by ridiculing and belitlleiqg the enterprise of your more public spirited neighbor, and if not, then you should be do longer a drone in the bee hive of industry and at once get at something that will be pleasant to you to think about while liviDg and when dead and gone be a monument to your memory in which your posterity can take a pardonable pride. These are vital questions and concern not only the peo pie who reside and do business in towns, bat those who reside ia the surrounding country as well. A prosperous and progressive market town is an unerring indication of a prosperous and progressive country. As the one prospers and thrives so does the olht-r in a corresnondinff 1 ratio. It can be pat down as a never failing result that jonr town is just what you make it. It yoa are slothful, indolent and n'er to do well, your town will be filled with ratnshackling signs, customerless stores, dilapidated houses, neglected premises and wear a God forsaken appearance. But if, on the other hand, you are prcgessive, industrious and filled with vim, snap and life, your town will be prosperous, thriving and ovej fl ;wh)g with business activity. A town rtfleets the character and habits of its denizens and the inhabitants of the country adj ?cent to it the same as a mirror rt fleets your face. We all should pin in an effort to improve the condition of own town. We should lend a helping band and encourage with our in fluence aDd money home enterprises and home industries. Let us iBvite capita! to come in and set le amongst us rather than repel it by our discouraging tales of want of enterprise and progress which has existence only in our sluggish ; : tt. ij _ a . imagination. we snou?a advertise the grand possibilities of our town both in aD-i out of season. Talk it with our lips; talk it with our live3, tTnd ta!k it by our example. Because we vaiDlv imagine that we have a good thing is no reason or excuse why we should bar the doors, shut out others and retard the progress of the town. We all can do something along this line and we should see to it that it is dene. Wonders, it seems, will never cease and the unexpected is always happening. Senator Tillman has laid seige to Charleston, stormed her bat tery aDd she has capitulated leek, stock and barrel and rank and file. His erstwhile opponents now admit that he i3 not near so black as the desperate politicians have painted him ia their frenzy and chagrio. Their eyes have been opened by his good aDd effective woik in the material interest of the State and Lis earnest activity in every measure looking toward tbe progress and prosperity of ber people. The scales of pr< j odice have dropped from their eyes aud they now see that instead of beiog the narrow, selfish demagogue wbich his enemies erroneously claimed, that he is a fearless and braioy champion of his people with broad and liberal views that mark bim as oDe of the most astute and able statesmen of his day and generation. It is now recognized as an indisputable fact that the farmers and workiDgmen made no mittake in selecting him as their leader and upholding him in his contentions. Ail's well that ends well and we rejuice that to all intents and purposes the barriers of factional strife which have divided our people are bang broken down and that "both wiDgs of the party are 11 pping together in i unison. The Democratic State Convention is in session in Columbia today. If j the voice of the people expressed in ] the different county conventions j i echoes tbe views of the delegate?, j ! there wili be do radical changes in j < the rules governing the party. The j candidales for Stale offices will be required as heretofore to make s { county to county canvass. Tbe < prominent candidates mentioned for t delegates at large to the National Convennon are Hon. B R. Tillman, 5 Col. Wilie Jones, Congressman Lati- s mer and W. D. Evans. c f Tbe air is filled with political ru- j more; candidates without number are j springing up for every Stale clli -e j to be filled and are fast blooming into j j full finlged politicians with a natural "hankeiing" after a s< fc fat position with plenty of money and little work attached. At this early date there are j only four patriotic sons of the Pal- j metto State who have announced their j intention to enter the gubernatoiiai j race with G. Walt Whitman and the j Prohibitionists yet to hear from. J A like number have expressed themselves as being willing to lay tbe:r time a sacrifice upon the altar of thtir State and accept the cffi-e of Lieutenant Governor. Heaven only knows the number each ot the other offices will have b .fore the band plays and the speaking and fun begins. It is certain, however, that none of the offices will go begging for the want of candidates. The only one for which there is so far only one candidate is that of United States Senator and it seems to b9 a generally conceded fict that there is no use for any one to buck againsst Senator Tillman and no one being willing to be made a martyr of for the sake of being defeated, opposition to his re-election will probably go by default. The approaching campaign promises to be a lively one and each candidate expects a lot of whooping up by the boys. The Boers are Baid to be by British authorities completely demoralized and the end of the unequalled struggle for liberty and self government is in sight. B;th sides have displayed brilliant generalship and commendable bravery which has excited I the admiral ion cf the civilized world. | The English are ia a position to teach the nations a lesson in magnanimity to a conquered bit brave foe by granting bitn that priceless boon for which he has been so desperately, if unsuccessfully, struggling ?independence. "The great problem to the cotton growing States of the south is diversification of crops, so that they can feed themselves," recently remarked the head of the agricultural department at Washington. The southern planter is solving this problem more and more each year, and with a tariff on the products they grow to protect them from foreign interference so that diversified crops will be remunerative, this section will prosper and "bard times will come again no more." The cornerstone of the new city ball and opera house iu Columbia, was laid yesterday afternoon with elaborate Masonic ceremonies. Grand Master Orlando Sheppard weiided the trowel, plumb and compass with nanal i m nrpsfci vpriPMQ diariitv and gracefulness. He used the silver trowel used by Lafayette in living the cornerstone of the JDeKilb monument in Cimden. Thomas W. Carwile, Brigadier General Commanding 2 id Brigade U. 0 V., has appoiuted Miss Lucia Wardlaw Parkpr, of Abbeville, as spor sor, and Miss Sara Yannoy Cleveland, of G.eenvilK a= chief maid of honor, for the Second Division IT. C Y., for the year 1900. Thomas C Dawson, Secretary of the United States legation to Brazil 8jy3 that win spite of recent reports to the contrary I do not believe that Germany has any d signs against the political future of Brazil." Aguinaldo has advised ail his fiiends aod sympathizers to leave Manila as early as possible, so a9 to escape the general destiuction of the city which has been threatened by the Insurgents. Governor Roosevelt has definitely and irrevocably declined to accept the second place on the National R publican ticket. He expects to head the ticket in 1901 The constables made a heavy seizure cf beer in Columbia last Sun any. Ia two aays 500 oottles of the foamy beverage were confiscated. The terpedo boat Thornton was launched at the Trigg shipyard on the loth. Miss Mary Thornton Davis acted as sponsor. The battleship Kentucky, the si?tersbip of the peerless Kearsarge, has been placed in commission. TbeB.>ar peace envois have arrived in New York and were entbus istically received. OBITUARY. M->j John Sanders Swygert, after j a britf illness, departed this life j April 13, 1900, aged 88 years, 1 j month and 10 days. He was one of the oldest, persons j in the county and was quite active j for one of bis age up to bis last i!!- j Qess. He was married in the 3 ear j 1832, to Miss Harriet Lorick. She j with 2 daughters and one grandson, : proceeded him to the spirit land. He leaves 5 sons, 3 daughters, 28 j jrand children and 22 great grand- | children, together with many friends j o mourn his departure. He was contirm>-d a member of j S on's Evangelical Lu'heran church j ibc-ut one year ago, and was true to j ieath. I Batesburg Notes. To the E itior of the Dispatch: TV'e low have ideal weather and a very agreeable change it is from the late cool nighte. Tne "Potato 3 edit'' has made its unwelcome appearance on our vines and the community are engaged in fighting it to death. It seems that j it cat j be killed by a liberal opplica- j lion cf the bug powder, which is cheap aod easily obtained here, it is a valuabl^dlscovafj and v.iil save the entire crop where it is applied. Stands of cotton are good and havo j been ehoDped out and in most places corn seems to be doing welt and tho j outlook is favorable. The widow cf the lute R. v Henry Duntou died at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. J B. Youngblood, last week. liar remains were takeu to the family burying grouud at Ridge Spring and she now lies beside her bu.-bind, who preceeded her to the tomb by several years. Mr. W. A. Reckling, the Columbia artist, paid his usual visit to our town last week. Q rite a number always avail themselves of bi3 presence in town to have their pictures taken. The candidate Is abroad in the land and the familiar handshake is again being experienced. They are all good fellows and we verily believe most of them would make good officers. The Joint Sunday schools of the Methodi3t ana Baptist churches will have a picnic Wednesday ncx4-, at which "James Conner' Camp of Cmfederate Veterans are invited guests. They will probably attend and furnish speakers for the occasion. The day will doubtless be a pleasant one The little babe of a Mr. M<E1hauc-y, who had only a few dajs previously arrived iu town, died last Friday and was taken to Augusta, the home of the parents, on Saturday, a m , and buried in the cemetery there. Mrs. Matilda Hnr.ley has been quite sick for some days, but am happy to say, she is improving and hopes are entertaiuc-d of her recovery. R.v. Dr. A C. Wilkins preached yesterday morniDg and again at night to large congregations at the ILptist church and in the afternoon be filled his appointment at Lees ville. Rev. A. C. Walker preached in the fmcnoon at the Mcthodistcburch aud at Dight the Epworth League hold their weeklv meetincs. / n Occasional. Maj 14, 190). GOOD THINGS TO EAT. What thc-y are depends mostly on the condition of the cater. Most anything- is good to eat if a man is properly, healthily hungry. Every man is properly hungry at more or * less distinct intervals if he is healthy. Corned beef and cabbage &pj taste better to jfras to the' ?jlf" the condition ??n<^,=!t?S= of the stom? 'J*7-'}7 ach, liver, ! bowels, and kidneys. I f "" <?* < these do not do their work properly there accumulates in them undigested. fermenting, putrid, blood poisoning matter. The appetite cannot be healthy till this is removed. A machine will not ! run if it is all clogged up with dirt. The stomach cannot appropriate food unless it is clean, and so healthy hunger cannot come. The stomach cannot be clean if the liver and bowels do not dispose of the food passed along to them. If poisonous, effete matter is allowed to accumulate and congest the liver and bo we is more or less of it gets into the blood, and is carried all over the hodv Is it r*,iv wonder that it makes you sick ? Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is designed to correct all disorders of the digestive and blood-making system and to drive ail impurities cut of the blood itself. It restores lost appetite and vitality, builds healthy flesh and muscle, changes sickness to health, misery to happiness. John A. Calloway. Ksq., of No. 21S 26th Street, Columbus. Ga.. writes: " I had catarrli for four years and also liver and kidney trouble. In iS94 I was working at night and I broke out an lumps all over and when these left, the skin peeled off. My eyes were sunken and I had pimples and brown spots eta any face. Now these are all gone, and I believe i ant entirely well. I have a go.>i appetite, but before I commenced taking your 'Golden Medical Discovery' I had no appetite at all. Now I am like a* child?ready to cut at any time of the day or night." Swansea Doings. To tee Editor of the Dispatch: The small grain crop is promising at this time and the prospect for home made fl ;tir is good. Cotton planting is ever and the battle with crab grass, Maypops, hog and rag weeds has begun in dead earnest. Thettinds of cotton and corn is generally good excet t the ravages from the severe rain fall, and that is being repaired. Swansea strives to be the rqual of all and inferior of none.

In a leading hotel, in a pre at city, a famous and aged physician was conversing-. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evident'v lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My firm belief, is "'that medical science is certain yet to show tliat all diseases without exception arc caused by invisible perms which arc living- organisms. Here is the genu of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacilius 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 I am thoroughly discouraged.'1 The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, lilce diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United Mates and 1; is rare 10 an-et one who is not, or las not been troubled more or less with it. IIow often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from catarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. ' I believe.*' contfneed this great physician, " 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 us death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing iu my head all the time. My hands and feet were always Cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. 1 had awful pains in the small of my back. I 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 mj? side, it seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doctors said my Mood had all 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 anv relief. - ~ T . i ? _ i n r My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's >arsaparnia. i tooi< u, ana im-u i bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use. and felt 1 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, lain positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my catarrh has almorst entirely left rue. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's Sarsaparilla has done for n.e. I recommend all women who have siok headaches to use your Sarsaparilla. miczzz&ivrs- urtUG- coau?Arry, dethoit, mzcb. J. E. KAUFMANN, LEXINGTON, S. C.
