The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1891. G. M. BARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WfPXPSDAY. JULY 4. 1200. A Voice from the Tomb. The Lexington Dispatch has the following: "We notice that many, if not all, / of the old time anti newspapers are lustily cning peace, peace, and lovingly talk of dead and buried factionalism, yet tbere is a remarkable unanimity among them ccccering their advocacy of CjI. Hoyt, a conservative. If the dead past is buried, why do we fiod them urging the election of one of their numbei? If the fires of factionalism have been extinguished, why are they so solid for Col. Hojt? ,*< VOQiiv sppms that jp rom me uuuuun the Conservative forces have not disbanded, but are as strongly united today as they ever were in the past and 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." ' The above is absolutely the ooly expression tnat we have noticed that recalls the fact that some vears ago the Democrats were divided into Conservative and Reform factions. It was an issue then, but it has been buried, and cannot be resurrected for anybody's benefit now. It is only a spook that our contemporary sees. 'Tf there i3 any bitterness in the campaign, it is shown by candidate Patterson against Governor McS veeney, whom he has charged with Dot only not enforcing the dispensary law but with patronizing blind tigers. Acd both these gentlemen were pronounced 'Reformers" in the da} 8 referred to by our esteemed ccntempo' 1 r h<j rary, aa we learn oy tuuaumug dusty records of ancient history. ? Greenville News. Oar mountain cotemporary does not deny that Colonel Hoyt, by rea6od of being a Conservative in the "ancifent" past, (not later than two years age) will receive the solid vote of the Conservative element. If there are now nofactional lines, if the fire has been extinguished and there are now no longer any warriDg elements within the party, and a spirit of brotherly love pervades the ??O />?noni?jfirm cchv is if, that ICUUltCU VI g'4U?iJ ? WJ ? the erstwhile Conservatives are al most to a man supporters of a Conservative for Governoi? If they are in earnest about burying the dead pist, why don't they give some tangible evidence of their earnestness by a div: icn of their voting strength? This would be the logical sequence of a cessation of hostilities, if genuine peace existed. And this not being the case, we are constrained to believe that this socalied peace has existence only in the imagination of ' Reformers" so as to divide tbeiij. strength and insure the election of a Conservative as Governor. Jf this ia a "spook'' it certainly is clothed with nil the elements of reality. Is is no 'desire of ours to rake over the ashes of the dead past and kindle afresh the smothered fires cf factional strife, but when the Conservatives profess one thing and act just the opposite, we contend that peace is a sham and a delusion. Wounded birds generally flutter. Senator Tillman is eminently correct in urgiDg Democrats to vote in the general election. The Republicans are determined to take the small vote cast in Southern States as evidence that the negro is being deprived of his political rights and upon this plea th^y hope to cut down the representation of the Southern States; thereby increasing the power of the Northern States. The white people ol toe tooutn must iace mis question sooner or Inter and the sooner the better.?Exchange. Secretary Hay has instructed all American Consuls in China to deal directly with the Chinese viceroys and Ta Tis in framing measures for the protection of American lives and property. No satisfactory information Las been received by the State department at Washington concerning the fate of the foreign ministers and their families and attaches in China. Reports received by Section Director Bauer show that the continued excessive rains are badly damaging crops. Both corn and cotton has suffered. John G. Wooiley and Henry B Metcalf have been nominated by the National C >Jd Water Army for President and Vice-President respectively. John W. Daniel, of Virginia, says that he would accept the Democratic nomination for Vice President if it were tendered him. The striking Alabama miners and stubborn coal operators have not reached an agreement. The Natiormi Democratic Nominating Convention was called to order in Kansas City at noon today. Tbe Michigan Republicans have nominated Aaron T. Biiss, a rich lumbeitoau, for Governor. The Republicans of Minnesota have nominated a full S.ate ticket. ^BSCIUTEEV L Makes the food more d We invite the attention of our readers to an article from the pen j of Senator McLaurin, copied on our first page from Leslie's Weekly, ^t teems with logical conclusions as an argument for industrial expansion and is in this respect a brilliant success; but as reasons for territorial expansion, it is a dismal failure. Territorial expansion does net necessarily precede or follow tbe industrial de velopment of the South. The Senator admits this in citing tho case of the Richmond Locomotive Works in competing with the world in export iog locomotives, and in that of tbe Maryland steel compauy furnishing rails for the Siberian railroad. It will be noticed that in neither case territorial expansion by thi3 government preceded or followed theindus . t -i 1 i_ ...t q Tf trial aeveiopuieiuB reicncu lw. a? terrifcnial expansion is a prerequisite factor to industrial development, as the Senator argues, then this nation must have first acquired the world by purchase or otherwise or the Richmond company could not compete with the world in locomotives. The fact that the world has not been acquired is conclusive evidence that national expansion ia not necessary for industrial expansion and consequently is not "the hope of the South." It is true that the South need9 new markets as an outlet for her surplus products, but these can be and will be opened up by agencies other than territorial expansion. England and the balance of the civilized nations need many of the products of the South. There is a healthy, legitimate and increasing demand for ber raw and manufactured materials, and this demand, with many products far exceeds the supply. It is also true that "our Southern manufacturers" of cotton goods "have reached the teeming millions of the Eist," but it is equally true that this industrial activity was begun, long before the imperialistic doctrine of McKinley and Mark Hanna startled the American people. Territorial expansion neither accelerated, aided or assisted this demand^.. The East needed our this need created a demaclf which was supplied by the^j^i^uthern manufacturer. They had^he money and wanted our ^jods; we had the goods and wanted their money. Read the article and draw your own conclusion. It is only by an inter change of opinions that logical deductions can be arrived at. ECZEMA, ITCHING HUMORS, PIMPLES?CURED BY B. B. B. Bottle Free to Sufferers. Does your Skin Itch and Burn?
