uammmummKmmBmaarnMe\\m\ i i i 11 Tlie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894, * G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. JUSE 27. 1900. The State campaign is progressing as it began?in peace and quiet. No new developments have been mide and all the candidates for Governor still continue to attack Candidate McSweeney. He, single handed and moi-inor q manful and effec aiuur^ to uiuuiwg ?* ?? ??? tive fight against the combination and it is admitted that he is leading his opponents and will cross the home stretch with a flattering plurality if not a safe majority. It is also admitted that sbould there be a second race he and CjI. Hoyt will have to run it over. The State's correspondent, in his reports of the meetings, is using the same tactics that were used in the days when factional strife, was rampant. Then it was that Tillman was losing votes at every meeting and would go down in ignominious defeat. Now it is that McSweeney is doing the same thing. This chestnut is too ancient to be swallowed at all. The addition of Walt Whitman relieves the meetings of some of their dry monotoDy. Senator Tillman has appeared at several of the meetings and on every occasion was received with his old time enthusiastic reception. It seems to this writer that the so called prohibitionists and their alliee have relegated the restriction of the sale of whisky to three purposes to the rear and are row urging the election of Col. Hoyt because, as they claim, he would enforce the dispensary law. In other words they are trying to make this campaign one of men and not measures. We notice that many, if not all, the old time anti newspapers are lustily cryiDg peace, peace and loveingly talk of dead and buried factionalism, yet there is a remarkable unanimity among them concerning their advocacy of Col. Hoyt, a conservative. If the dead past is buried, why do we find them urging the election of one cf their number? If the fires of factionalism have been extinguished, why are tbey so solid for Col. Hoyt ? From the outlook it really seems that the conservative forces have not disbanded, but are as strongly united today as they ever were in the past aDd that all this- cry of peace, peace, when there is no peace, is for the purpose of disorganizing and defeating their old time enemies?the Reformers. Strange! strange!! Yet there is no (?) coalition. Two hundred prominent Filipinos met in Manila on June 21, to determine honorable and decorous methods of securing peace. The following are the proposed terms for peace: 1. Amnesty. 2. The return by the Americans to the Filipinos of confiscated property. 3. Employment for the revolution Generals in the navy and militia, when established. 4. The application of the Filipino revenues to succor needy Filipino soldiers. 5. A guaiantee to the Filipinos of the exercise of personal rights accorded to Americans by their constitution. 6. Establish ment of civil governments at Manila and in provinces. 7. Expulsion of the Friars. Gen. McArthur has declared an amnesty for ninety days. An appalling accident happened on the Macon branch of the Southern Railway, about one and a half miles from McDmough, Ga, on June 24th, in which thirty-four persons lost their lives. The train ran into a washout and was completely i js rriL i l _ _ v i i wrecaea. ice wrecKage iook nre ana the entire train wa3 consumed with the exception of the Pullman sleeper. All the passengers, except those in the sleeper, perished. The work of deepening the channel . of the Congaree river from the foot of Gervais street in Columbia, to old Granby will surely commence this summer. Senatoi Tillman interested himself in this matter and the result was that he succeeded in having a bill passed through Congress appropriating ?50,000 annually for the prosecution of this work. B. R. KiDg, Conway's white Rspublican post master, who took it upon himself to offer a reward of $100 for the arrest of the men who killed the negro postmaster at Lake City, died mysteriously in New York last week. Lieut. Governor Scarborough and Col. Qoattlebaum were called there to investigate. The irrepressable "Walt Whitman has serenely bcbbed up in the campaign. He has planked down his fifty dollar assessment "to pay the ireight," but net like JoEes, be will make the race, and has announced his old time position of clown. Under the editorship of Mr. W. H. Wallace, the Greenville Nuws has been greatly improved and enlarged. Makes the food more de ROYAL BAKfNO POv A Voica from the Far Away Philippines San Fernado de Union, Luzon, P. I., May 13, 1900. To the Editor of the Dispatch: You no doubt will be surprised to receive a letter from the far away Philippine isles. I have been thinking for sometime of my old Lexington friends. I enlisted in the 3rd cavalry in January, 1899. We were then in camp near Augusta, Gi. From there we were ordered to Fort Myer, Va., to be stationed at that post. On the 7th day of August of the same year, we were ordered to Seattle, Wash. We left Seattle, Wash., August 25th, aboard the Steamer St. Paul?eight troops, of 3rd cavalry, 1,127 privates and 24 officers. We stopped five days at Dutch Harbor, Alaska. It was very cold, we nearly froze. We proceeded from there to Kobe, Japan. There, of course, we came upon the little Jap, and. a good natured little fellow he was, too. We stayed seven days in Japan. We went ashore and took in the city, which has, I believe, probably 15,000 inhabitants. They have no such a thing as horse. They have what we call a one-seated caraton. It has short straps and a man pulls it. I borrowed 15 cents to cet a ride in one and took in the city. We reached Manila October 1st, and on the night of the 2_d, we were taken ashore at half past 11 o'clock and lay out on a street called the Lunetta all night, and it out rained Noah's flood. The next morning wet, hungry and broken down from being on the boat so long, we marched six miles to San Pedro Mcartie. Let me ask before I go any further, were you ever on the high seas? Oh, ye of little faith, everybody was sick. That is certainly one trip I shall ever remember. We camped at the latter place about seven days, and then went back to Manila, boarded the little Can T?at?non/1/N (i V* n??ft ora ticuu iUi ubu a ui uauuV) ^ ucic oic two San Fernandos), which is 35 miles from Manila, and stopped there five days, then we struck out across the muddy rice paddies for the interior, the horse3 up to their bellies in.mud; oh, it was frightful. We would go into camp at 9 p. m., then it would be to go about a mile to some rice field and cut a big armful of green rice for our horBee, then come back and use the currycomb and brush for one hour. Then we had a chance to cook our suppers and dinners, for we never stopped to cook dinner. We struck the Insurgents first at San Qiinbin. I was in the advance cuard cminxr in this 0 ^ o ? town, and we were not expecting to find them there although there bad never been an American in the place. There were four of us riding along eatiDg some cccoanuts we had taken from a poor old humbrey, and all at once boom?and then pop pop-pop. We dismounted at once and commenced the bloody work, but it is truly a wonder we did, for all four of us were young boys and never knew what a bullet was hardly. Well, I tell you it amazed me, but when I heard one nearly clip my ear I wasn't amazed very long. The troops came up promptly and we routed them, 'getting seme guns and ammunition and killing several. The fight lasted 35 minutes. Tbe next day we started for Tyng, where it was reported there were a lot of Spanish prisoners. We went into Tyng on the charge and they were just leaving there. We charged into them, recaptured fifty-nine Spanish and three American prisoners. We also captured the wardrobe of Senora Aguinaldo and out of which I have some very nice relics to show when I get back. The next day we took San Nicholas with about 15,000 bushels of rice. There we captured Aggie's wagon train?38 bull carts full of provisions and medical supplies, and the next day, four miles from San Nicholas, we had one of the very hardest fights we have had since we have been over here. We lost three men and four horses. I was layiDg flat and the bullets flew as thick as hail. I liked to have ducked my head off trying to dodge the bullets. The fight lasted four and a half hours, but we routed them. We charged their trenches and killed sixty seven of them and caDtured 100.000 Mexican silver dol i ' lars. It was the Filipino's treasury, and the cfihers were yellipg attention and we were filling our pockets with what we called "Duly dollars " I had on leggings and I knew the money couldn't run out at the bottom, so I just poured my pants full of money. I wish ycu could have seen me. We have had a hard time of it over hear. Very often huDgry fir two and three days. Say, I will tell you a j jke on myself: I eat three billjgoats in one day. Here are the fights mmtmmmKmamxBmmmmtaBaammmEcmmmmmm J B4K1N6 Wd foWDER Pure ilicious and wholesome j we have bad: San QuinbiD, San j Nicholas, San Rimone, Bagnaughton, Tyng, Palisai Pasn, Cabia, Monclow, and numorous other skirmishes all through the island. I came very near beiDg captured once since I have been here. I have been in every one of the above fights, and I have heaid the bullets whistle, but old Lexingtou has never shown his back to them yet. At Pdlisai Pa38, on George "Washington's birthday, I saw four boys break out and run as if the devil was after them. They are awaiting trial now for cowjriice in the gifger. I was detailed with one other fellow on the 15ih day of January to go to Manila, which is 170 miles from here, for all our trunks, and ?o on; and while I was there I had the pleasure of meeting Heber Rawl. Well, there were two proud fellows, sure. I was there two and a half weeks and htfand I were together nearly all the time. Heber is a fine fellow and I think a good soldier. He will no doubt teil you mine and his experience with some of the Philippine belles. They are ladies of ginger cuke color, go barefooted and wear Mother Hubbards. Well, you ja6t ought to see me. I have learned Spanish pretty well and can speak it just about as good as a cow would. This Philippine language is something fierce. I am a private now, but have been a cor-' poral twice since I have been in the cavalry. I don't see what Uncle Sam wants with these islands, it is so hot I don't think a fellow could live rrmnh mnrp than a thmiaanrl roara over here. Well, just putting the whole business together, I wish I was under daddy's tender care. Tbey can all talk about the glories of war, I didn't know how much I loved Mr. J. E. Riwl and wife till I got 10,000 miles from them. Never mind, Pa and Ma, the prodigal will eat eome more of your gcol cbic':er>, ham, bis cuite, butter, cake and all of those nice things. I know you all feel for me and I am truly sorry you can't reach me. Every mail I get a letter and it cheers me very much to receive these kind remembrances from home. Rudolph keeps me very well posted. There are mofquitos over here as big as your fist. Well I don't think I will ever enlist in my dear old Uacle's services anv more. A! though he is a dear, good old Uncle, but then he wants me to go where I can't eee Pa and Ma. I must close by wishing every success to our humble Editor and his valuable paper, and to all my friends and relations. Give the girls all my love. I would wiite more about the products and so on but Heber told me he was going to write a long letter to the Dispatch. I have had three copies of the Dispatch since I have been here, and I always hail it with delight. You will please send me a copy of it each week, and I will send you the udinero" in advance if you want it. 2 cents will briDg the paper every time. Very truly, Private William A. Riwl, ' M" Troop, 3:d Cavalry, Manila, P. I. Items from Batesburg. To the Editor of the Dispatch: A negro named Eugene Wood was shot and killed by George Duncan yesterday on the Saluda side of*the border. Deputy Coroner Gunter, of Saluda county, held an inquest late yesterday afternoon. The verdict il..i i _ i,.3 . - i L 1 - WitS t Li it L LLC Uitllie LU 1113 UtIULU U_y 8 pistcl shot in the hands of G. H. Duncan. Mr. Duncan states that the negro was advancing on him with a drawn pistol when he was forced to shoot him in self defence. A sad death occurred here yesterday, Mrs. Stanmore Hite, after months of intense suffering with cancer, crossed over the river and exchanged the pain and misery that had been her misfortune to bear for so long for a crown of life in the E3en above. She had prepared herself by a life spent in the service of the Master. Today, after a brief funeral discourse by the R3V. Dr. Wilkins, she was laid away in the Hite burying ground in the western part of the town of Batesburg. The frequent rains of late have interferred with grass killing and in some places the fields are green with j the pesky thing. We hope for dry j weather soon so the people will have j I a chance to woik an otherwise beautij ful crop.

He spoke of national affiirs about in the same manner as he did at Orangeburg. He kept off in the political circus and said he would assign the ringmaster's whip to Walt Whitman. However he did touch upon the main issue?the dispensary. He did not claim paternity, but said it was the result of conditions. The fight against it had been settled in 1894, in 1895, 1896 and 1898, and yet 'they tell us they want to settle the liquor question. Is it to keep coming up j until we give up to the minority?
