Lie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul} 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 23. 1900. Chief Justice Fuller has handed down the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of "W. S. Taylor vs. Gov. Beckham of Kentucky. For the want of jurisdiction the court dismissed the writ of error from the Kentucky court ol appeals, and by this dismissal Gov ernor Beckham, Democrat, is the lawful chief executive of the State * and is today in full possession of th* office and is exercising all the func tions thereof. In delivering the opiu ion the Chief Justice said: "We must de fine to take jurisdiction on th? ground of deprivation of rights em braced by the Fourteenth amendment, without due process of law, orof tb? violation of the guarantee of repub l;can form of government by reasoi of similar deprivation. The wri of error is dismissed." A simila order was entered in the injunctioi case between the same parties. Thuhas the doctrine of State's rights 8gain been upheld by the highest court in the land and the interpretation of the Constitution by Southeri statesmen completely vindicated. Mr. j Taylor has abandoned his office and I has fled the State. He is under in s. * 9 dictmeDt as an accessory to the murder of the late Governor Goebel and i? t ? t ? is a. iuguuve iiuuj juotitw njiu a price probably upon bis head. The sluetb bounds are in hot pursuit and the chase is warm and exciting. He played for high stakes and lost. 1 All persons contemplating an ab sence at any time during the month of Judc, is requested by the census office to communicate with the Supervisor of the district in which they reside in regard to the questions to be asked by the enumerators, so that tbey can be counted in the 12tb census. A failure to do this might be the means of a loss of a r >preresentative in Congress. Mr. S. A Pearce, Columbia, is the Supervisor for this district. ________? The Democrats of Mississippi have agreed to disagree. State Chairman Miller has positively refused to call another meeting of the committee for the purpose of recinding the call for a primary to select national convention delegates unless forced to do so by an appeal of a majority of the members. Secretary Hay turned away the Boer peace commission with no encouragement and they have been unmercifully snubbed by the Senate. Senator Tillman scored the Republican party for its want of consistency in the treatment of the commission. The United State Supreme Court hft9 granted leave to the United States to bring- original actions against the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana and Florid i, in the proceedings to procure settlement with those States. Mrs. Graddrick, of Columbia, who is charged with murdering her husband by giving him poison, has been admitted to bail- in the sum of $1,500. So far she has been unsuccessful in her efforts to secure bondsmen. The fightiDg is spreading in the Philippines and Uncle Sam's boys are baviDg a hot time of it. The Insurgent leaders say that the war has just begun and are confident of ultimate success. Estes G. KatbboDe has been suspended from the office of director general of the post in Cuba. This removal is the result of frauds recently discovered in his department. The Boers are said to be fleeing fiom Pretoria and are seeking refuge in the mountains. 50,000 enumerators will cornmeece on JuDe 1st, to taks tho 12th United Slates census. Lexington Rifles Reorganized. Last night quite a large number of the young inen of thi3 place and surroundiog country met in Ballentine Hall, for the purpose of reorganizing the Lfxington E-fle company. The company was reorganized by the election of the following officers: Captain?Alfred J. Fox. 1st. Lieutenant?Thos. L. Karrnan 2nd Lieutenant?Sam J. Leaphart. 1st Sergeant?L. W. Redd. 2od Sergeant?C.

Think of the distress of a refined, modest woman during the useless examinations and treatment of four different doctors who each and all failed to give her any comfort. Think of all this and then think that she was finally cured?completely, wholly, per tuunently cured right in tae privacy 01 ncr home without the abhorrent "examinations" and local treatment so uniformly insisted upon by home physicians?cured j just as she might have been six years before. These are simply the facts in the case of Mrs. M. B. Wallace, of Muenster, Cook Co., Texas, who writes : ! "I had been a great sufferer from female weakness. I tried four doctors and none did ine any good. I suffered six years, but at last I found 1 relief. I followed your advice, and took four | bottles of ' Golden Medical Discoveryand eight of the ' Favorite Prescription.' I now feel like a new woman. I have gained eighteen pounds." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a medicine made for just one purpose?to cure disorders or diseases of the feminine organism. It is the only preparation of its kind introduced by a regularly graduated pbysican?a skilled specialist in the diseases of women, whose thirty years of successful praelice are a guarantee of health to all sufferers who consult him. Every woman may write fully and confidentially to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and may be sure that her case will receive careful, conscientious, confidential consideration, and that the best medical advice in the world will be given to her, absolutely free. In addition to this free advice Dr. Pierce will send a paper-Douna copy or ms rkui. 1,000-page book "The Common Sense Medical Adviser," to any one who will send 21 one-cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing.

He eulogized Lincoln in fhe United State Senate. As to Tillman's loyalty to party,' Col. Youmans charged that in 1890, he was a simon pure Edgefield Dtm i ocrat; in 1892 a half Populist; iD 1894 a greenbacker, in 1895, in a letter to Thomas F. Byron, "I see no hope of relief unless the Southern farmer quit voting the Democratic ticket and the Western farmers the Republican ticket." In his eulogy on Senator Earle, be said that the aristocracy before the war gave this country as pure a government as had ever been given. He stated at another time that Soutk Carolina's credit prior to 18G8 was , unimpeachable. The contention by the Senator now is that if there is to be any stealing done, let South Carolina get her share. The speaker then disclaimed the desire of the peo pie of South Carolina to put money consideration above truth and honor. This unfortunate utterance of Till man's classing South Carolina with rogues offended the sensibilities of more than on? Southern Senator. He accused Tillman of political perjury?not personal but political perjury. Tillman in the constitu tional convention had quoted John J. Patterson as saying that there wae? "five years of good stealing in South Carolina."' He later said several times that there was good stealing going on in "Washington, and he wanted some of it himself; he had earned it and was not ashamed of it He arraigned Senator Tillman for his connection with the penitentiary scandal. He then compared the free barroom in the State capitol during Eepublican times with the free sample rooms at the State dispensary during Tillman's administration as Governor. INTERRUPTED His arraignment of Tillman in connection with the dispensary and the penitentiary matters was here interrupted. Mr. Stevenson, the presiding officer, ruled that the record of Tillman in the Senate, Dot prior to that time, was now under discussion. There was mild cheering from Tillman's friends. Senator Tillman asked that "Lhis man" be not disturbed in the enjoyment of this luxury, it is not often be could get people to listen to him. There was more cheering and cries for ''Tillman" and for ''Youmans." Senator Tillman had during the first part of the excoriation sat perfect unmoved, on the seat directly in front of the chair which Col. Youmans had occupied, but his ''fighting face" showed the return of the fire of former bouts. Mr. Youmans acquiesced in the ruling of the chair and did not conclude his speech. Mr. A. E. Patterson of Barnwell assured the convention that Mr. Youmans did not represent the people of Barnwell county in his remarks. Mr. Youmans?There is the record. It speaks for itself. JUST OXE VOTE. The vote on the motion to table Mr. Youmans' motion to table the i .1? !. 3 mi resolutions was csrnea. .Lnere was only one vote in the negative? th^t of Mr. Youmans. The resolutions were adopted by a risiDg vote, Mr. Youmans being the oDly one voting in the negative. Some unimportant changes were made to the constitution. [The constitution will be published later.] SPEECH FROM TILLMAN. This concluded the work of the convention, and before the resolutions of thanks to presiding officer, clerks, etc, some delegate sent up a resolution requesting a speech from Till man, This was adopted by the cod vent ion. S-Lafcor Tillm"iij accepted the invitation and made a short address, which was confined almost exclusively to national affairs. He said thaf he didn't like to talk as he once did, because Le h id beard so much talk in the senate. Four years 3go there was feverish Less and uncertainty as to the policy of the naticnal parry. Mr. Cleveland and his pirty had scuttled the ship. The national convention at Chicago was inspiring in the uprising of the people. It was the first genuine Democratic convention since the war. Its action represents the revival of the party of Jefferson on the only lines of durability. "We now face another campaign. It has been estimated that a million Demo crats left the party in 1896. We went into that campaign disorganized with the Palmer and Buckner party split off*, and scared the opposition ' nearly to death. If a hard fight was necessary then, it ia doubly so dow. The Republican majority ia arrogant <n the extreme and ia rushing into a plutocracy which will wreck th^ government. Hanna bad 816,000,' 1 | 000 with which to buy votes in 1896 We need money to carry speakers -ind literature into the middle west. We are still face to face with the Pbillippine war, which has cost us I ?120.000,000 (including the navj) and requires the sei vices of 65.000 men. McKinley had brought on ih&t war expecting the Filipinos to disband at the first rush. He had sat in the senate and heard them talking of using the Philippines as a stepping stone to Chiina. He declared that the Republican party has great schemes of aggrandizement. He dtfended his position on the Cnina open door question in China. He would stand by it, but he did not fbvor using the Philippines as a stepping stone. He was applauded in hi3 reply to the statement that he was in favor (f South Carolina getting her share of the stealing in Washington. It did not imply a surrender of any principle. The south pays one-third cf ihe taxes and gets but a teuth in return, and he contended it was but right for South Carolina to get her share of the appropriations. This country is in danger. If Mr. McKinley is elected it means an alliance with England. Inordinate greed is behind England's unholy war in Africa. The carpet-bagger will get the benefit, and we must keep a standing army of 200,000 men, and if the trend of affairs keeps up that army will be brought back to this country to shoot the people of t^is country into subjection to the Will of the trusts. He had denounced the Republicans to their faces as hypocrites, and the people of this State had never heard of it. uIf the conspiracy of silence among some of the newspapers to keep my constituents from knowing what I do keeps up, I can't help it," he said with a considerable show of feeling. WIL1E JOKES STATE CHAIRMAN. After the convention had adjourned the new State Democratic Executive Committee held a meeting and organized for the campaign year. Col. Wilie Jones was reelected State Chairman, and Assistant Attorney General Gunter was reelected Secretary. The appointment of a special com mittee to select electors was authorized, the committee to report at the next meeting of the State committee. THE STATE CAMPAIGN. The appointment of another subcommittee of four, which, with Chairman Jones, will prepare a schedule for Stat8 campaign meetings, was authorized. Tnis committee is to rtport its schedule to a meeting of the full committee to be held early in June. Col. Jones Las not yet announced the appointment of these committees. NOT BROACHED. It is a noteworthv fact that the convention did not touch the matter of the suggestion'' of candidates for S ate offices by the prohibitionists. Tho convention did not touch the matter of the curtailment of the campaign, either. Tne convention adjourned sine die. I Does the f | Baby Thrive! | If not, something must be f T wrong with its food.

A *++++&>*? CATARRH CAN EE CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART POTTLES. "DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE.'' A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was conversing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men. evidently lawyers, business men aud commercial travelers. My firm belief, is ' that medical science 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 I am thoroughly discouraged." 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 the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the united States and it is rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How 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." continued this great physician, "that the true way to heal catarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done onlv bv oowerfui alteratives which act as blood purifiers." lietsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mien., writes: Dear Sirs:?For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. I 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 always cold. My appetite was very poor. On petting'up in the morning1, my head swam so I was often obliged to li-i 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 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 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. I am positive that the Sarsapariila saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, havg disappeared, and my catarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's Sarsapariila has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick headaches to use your Sarsapariila. MICHI&AKT 23RUCV COMPANY, DETROIT, MICH. J. E. KAUFMANS', LEXINGTON, S.
