The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HABMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C.. WFDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1900. The result of the primary election show that it was a regular landslide for Governor McSweenev. It is possible that he carried every county in ..t-- cit.u wJtK *V>a e>Tf?Pnfinn of three iiie OIQIV yuvu vuv vavw^..v. ? or four. We consider the large vote given Governor McSweeney a fitting endorsement of bis administration and that the people had such confidence in his ability and judgment that they were willing to entrust the ship of State under his guidance for two years longer at least. It is such a victory that he should be proud of and his best endeavors, which no doubt they will be, should be directed toward preserving unsullied the confidence that has been placed in him. Colonel Hoyt entered the po litical arena a strong man and he retires from it stronger than be was when he entered it. He has made mimfirons new friends, and as far as we have been able to observe not an enemy. He carries with him to his private life the well wishes of all We give below the incomplete returns by counties for Governor as published in today's State; McSweeney. Hoyt.

Inquiry at the Secretary's office show that great interest is being manifested for the Fair, both at home and abroad. He is in receipt of numerous letters making inquiries about the Fair. Our own people should be alive to the importance of this Fiir as a means by which the outran fa eras nf Trf.T!m*fnn nan hp Mw* . 15 brought prominently before the csp italist and home seekers, and they should unite as one man in makiDg it the best Fair yet held. The Slate and county primary elections are over and sufficient returns have been received to indicate the successful candidates for political preferment The defeated ones should not be so narrow minded as to bear hard feelings against their rivals in particular and the voters in general. It is only a matter of choice betweeu men and measures that determines the result of a primary election and none should find fault with that result. Njw that the I? 4 1 1 11 eiecnon is pust. uejuu u ic-uan, ??; should all turn our attention to natters of business and development. It should be our aim to better our condition financially aDd commercially as well as in manufacture and thus make our county the most thriving and progressive one in South Carolina. It is reported that the natives of Alaska are dying in great numbers. There is great destitution among the gold seektrs. The following commissioners have been appointed by the Governors of their respective States for the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition to be held at Charleston next year: Tbe Hon. Thomas ToDge, for the State of Colorado: Col. A. J -* Blethen, Proprietor of the Sjatle t Times, for the St*te of Washington, I ar\A ?V>o TTrm J .T T.ce<snn ni Sr>enr UUVt VUV U v w. ^ ro, for the Territory of New Mexico. These gentlemen will make it their 1 duty to see that their several States i are adequately represented at the ] Exposition, which is expected to be J the most varied and comprehensive ' ever given. ' : I The Mayor of GalvestoD, Texas, ? estimates that 3,000 persons were killed daring the late terriffic storm. This estimate is considered a conserative one. There is great destitution and suffering among the survivors ( and an appeal has been made for ( contributions in cash, provisions and clothing or any useful article to re-lieve the suffering. ( Arthur Sewall, the Democratic nominee for Vice President four years ago, died at bis beautiful summer home in Small Point, Maine, on the morning of September P L ' - rtf o Oi LI, J.IULLI U BUU&C U1 received the Sunday before. He was a Eucceesful business man of Bath, Maine, and was a life long Democrat. As he died so he lived honored and respected by all who knew him. Our only regret about the primary election yesterday if, that we could not support both McSweeney aod Hoyt for they are both good m< n. We admire the fuitbful and conscientious discharge of duty of the one and the pure Christian character of the other. The marine hospital service at Washington has received official information that several vessels from plague stricken ports have cleared for ports in the Uuited States. Caleb Powers has been sentenced by Judge Cintril to imprisonment for life for complicity in the murder of Governor Goebel, of Kentucky. The way of the transgressor is bard. Gen. Joe "Wheeler, having reached 64 years of age, the age limit, has ceased to be an officer in the United | States army. We imagine that those who bucked against Senator Tillman now feel like they had been monkeying with a buzz saw. The powers have agreed to keep their armies in China for the present at least. 3 000 carpenters went out on a strike in Chicago on September Sib. ''Little Mc" came out right side up with care. A. F. Lever Commended. lo tne .traitor 01 tee l/ispaicn: Please allow me a short space in jour columns to give the readers cf the Dispatch the brief but brilliant career of A Frank Lever, who was nominated in the recent primary for the House, which furnishes another proof of the assertion that "push and pluck" will bear down all opposition and crown all effort with success. Left an orphan at four months old, he has by sheer foice of wili and brain pushed his way up the ladder until now his last effort for fame aud his first for the eufLrage of his peo ple, results in his triumphant nomination by the largest vote ever given a nftnrliriftfa in the hiatorv of the county. It is remaikable that a maD note quite twenty-six years old without aDy large or wealthy family connection, with no political prestige and only a limited personal acquaint ance in the county should receive upon his Srst asking over two thirds of the vote cast in the primary. The like has never happened before. No man in the county has ever gotleD twenty-two hundred and twenty-six of fellow citizens to think him the proper man to represent their interests in the Legislature of the State; and the \ictory is the more remarkable when it is remembered j that his opposition consisted of four j of the best and strongest men the , county affords. I We don't think the pdople will have | cause to regret tkur choice. He ba6 never in all his life lost fight or failed to win in any competition test, and we think he will win laurels both for himself and his county in the House. Both Bepreseutatives are well chosen and the two Franks will likely j hold high the banner of old Lexington. Admirer.

Sept. 9.?Itiforma- tt ion has just reached fceie that about j, l,00i) lives have been lost at Galves- di ,oo, with enormous destruction of n< property. 01 HoustoD, Texas, Sept. 9, 10 p. id. ni ?The West Indian storm which tc eached the Gulf coast yesterday A wrought awful havoc in Texas. Re- as ports are conflicting, but it is known hat an appalling disaster has befall- tl ?n the city of Galveston, where, it is a! -eported, a thousand or mere lives ci save bien blotted out and a tremend ic ous property damage incurred. tl description at galveston*. b "Galveston is situated on an island extending east and west for 27 miles, and is seven miles in its greatest width north and south. No ciiy ^ could be in greater danger with such a hortible visitation as has now come ^ to Galveston In no part of the . <x ?ifv trifh ifc 3r poo nnnnlation is it K/lvj ni?u C"C ?' ? ^ more than six feet above the sea level. Tbe flit condition not oniy points to the desperate situstion of the people at such a time as this, but their danger may be considered ^ emphasized when it is known that exactly where the city is built the j island is only one and a quarter miles wide. "On the bay, or north side of the city, is the commercial section, with wharves stretching aloDg for nearly \ two miles, lined with sheds and p large storage houses. Then, in that . portion of Galveston there are three elevators, one of 1,500.000 bushels cipacity, one of 1,000,000 and the . third of 750,000. The island from the north side is connected with the mainland by railroad bridges and the longest wagon bridge in the , world, tbe latter nearly two miles in ? length. In 1872 the entire east end of tbe city was swept away by the . tidal wave that followed a terriffic , storm that swept the Gulf coast for three days. Then the eastern land on which buildings stood was literal- . ly torn away. The work of replac- , ing it has since been going on, and Fort Point, that guards the entrance to the harbor, has since been built and on its parapets are mounted some of the heaviest coast defense ordinance used by the government. r By the force of the storm of 1872 six entire blocks of the city were swept away. f "It is on tho south side of the fi city, begiuning within 50 yards of ( the medium Gulf tide, that the r wealthy resident portion of the city is located and which was the first part of Galve6<ou to be stricken by the full force of the recent storm and flood. All of the eastern end of ( the city must certainly be washed away, and in this quarter, betwoen Broadway and I street, some of the ( handsomest and most expensive resi dence establishments are located. Tbere was located there one home ^ which alone cost the owner over $1,000,000. Most of the residences are of frame, but there are many of stone and brick. In the extreme eastern end of the city there are many < f what we call 'raised cot- ^ tages.' They are built on piling and stand frcm eight to ten feet from the ^ ground as a precaution against ^ floods, it beiDg possible for the water c to sweep under tbrm. . ' The only protection that has ever been provided for the Gulf 6ide of the city has been two stone breakwaters, but many times with ordinary storms coming in from the Gulf, the high tide water h*3 been hurled over . the low stone walls right to the very ^ doors of the residences. From Yir _ gioia Point, six miles from Gilves- g ton, in ordinary conditions of the ^ atmosphere the city can be plainly seeu. If it is true that Galveston j cannot now be seen from the point, j, then the condition of the people in the city must be indescribably horri ble." <1 THIS DAMAGE IN HOUSiOX. Houston, Tex is, Sept. 9 ?The ^ storm that raged aloDg the coast of w Texas last night was tho m< st dieas- Q. trous that has ever visited this sec- w t on. The wires are down and there _ a is no way of fiuding out just what w has happened, but enough is known j8 to make it certain that there has c; been great loss of life aDd destruc- pi tion of property all aloDg the coast ind for a huudred miles inland jj Every town that is reached reports a one or more dead and the property a1 damage is so great that there is no tt ivay of computing it accurately. a.5 Gdveston remains isolated. The Eloustou Post and the Associated fr Press made efforts to get special in trains and tugs today with which to reach the island city. The railroad di ocmDanies declined to liek their nr ocomolives. of All sorts of rumors prevail but as vilk do substantial basis. It is w mown that the railroad bridges re icross the bay at Gdveston are pc fithe^ wrecked or are likely to be lett-oyed with the weight of a train dt ) them; the approaches to the st vagon bridge are gone and it is reu he lered useless. Tne bridge of the ?t jalvestoD, Houston and Not them fr< ail road is standing, but the diaw- at )iidges over clear creek and at dgewater are gone and the road I tnnot get trains through to utilize o te bridge aeroes the b;-.y. A train P eDt downt the Columbia Tap road - lis morning as far as. Chenango 11 unction. The town was greatly 0 amaged and the bodies of nine M ?groes were taken from the ruins of fc ue house. The train could proceed n 1 further and came back to Hous>n, leaving the fate of tbe people at Dgleton, Columbia, BrsiDZ)ra, Vel- c sco and Quintana uncertain. s The small town of Brookshire on ^ le Missouri, Kansas and Ttxas was v Imost wiped out by the storm. The a *ew of a work train brought this ^ ^formation. When the train left f iree bodies of four persons had pen recovered and the search for c ther was proceeding. ? Hempstead, across the river from J irooksbire, was also great ly damaged, v ut so far as known no lives were 1 >st. ^ Sabine Pass has not been heard t om today. The last ne ws was re- ^ aived from there yesterday morning c od at that time the water was sur- [ uunding the old town at the pass j od the wind was rising and the ( -aves coming high. From tbe new t own, which is some distance back, , be water had reached the denot and 1 ras running through the streets, 'be people wero leaving for the high ountry known as the bark ridge nd it is believed that all escaped. The property damage is great, a onservative estimate placing it at >250,000. The merchants and ( ilanteis oil mill was wrecked, cn- 1 ailing a loss of ?40,000. The Dickon Car Wheel works suffered to the 1 x'ent of $16,003. The big Masonic ' emple, which is the property of the 1 [rand lodge of the State was partly 1 wrecked Neaily every church in he city was damaged. The First ' 5iptist, Southern Methodist and 1 Liinity Methodist, the; la.tter a negro ( burcb, will have to be rebuilt be- 1 ore they can be used again. MaDy 1 msiness houses were unroofed. The esidence portion of the town preeots a delapidated appearance, but he damage in this part of the city ias not been so gresit as in some >thers. The streets are almost im ,asbible because of the. litter of such is trees, fences, telephone wires and >oles. Much damage was done to vindow glass and furniture Mat y tarrow escapes are recorded. J.ATEIt ACCOUNTS. Houston, Texas, Sept. 10?The irst reports trom the appalling dis ister, which has stricken the city of jralveston, do not seem to have been nagDified. Communication was had vith the island city by boats today, md reports received bore tonight ndicate that the death liot will ex :eed 1,500, while the property loss :annot be estimated, although it will each several million dollars. The stricken city is iu imminent langer of a water famine, and stren20U8 efforts are making here to sup)ly the sufferers. Relief trains are jeing organized and will leave here it an early hour tomorrow. Reports from the interior confirm 1 he loss of life and destruction of jroperty reported in these dispatches The storm began at 2 o'clock Sttifday morning. Previous to that a p*eat storm had been raging iu the ;ulf and the tide was very high, i ["he wind at first came from the > torth and was in direct opposition to he force from the gulf. While the 1 torm in the first part piled the rater upon the beach tide of the < ity, the north wind piled the water { n the baj part of the ci :y. 1 The bay front from end to end h ' ruiDS. Nothing but piling and * he wreck of great w;iri.-hou<e3 re nain. The elevators lost all their i uperwotks and their stocks are amaged by water. ! The life saving station at Fort *oiut was carried away, the crew be- r 3g swept across the bay I t miles to Vxas City. I saw C&pt. Haines esterday and be told me that his rife and one of his crew w< re r rowned. The cotton mills, the bagging fac3ry, the gas works, theelrctiic light rorks and Dearly all the industrial stablishments of the city are either ' recked or crippled. The fl >od lef slime abcut ODe inch deep over the bole city and unless fast progress * i made in burying corpses and car- * isses of ac/imals there is danger (f 63tilence. I Of the new Southern Pacific woike tile remains but the piling. Half 1 million feet of lumbar was carried < ivay and the engineer says as far as < le company is concerned, it might t ? well start over again. Eight ocean steamers were torn f om their moorings and stranded in I: i the bay. It will take a week to tabulate the I sad and the missing and to get T lything near an approximate idea t : the moneytary loss. It is safe to isume that one half of the city is iped out and that one-half of the isidents have to face absolute jveriy. i Q At Texis City three of the resi- fr :nts were drowned. Oue man epped into a well by mischance id his corpse was found there. Two her men ventured along the bay B out during the height of the storm | id were killed. " There are but few buildiugs at Vxas City that do not tell the story f the? storm Tbe hotel is a c>mlete wreck. The (ffi -e of the 'exa^ City company was almost e> - i * trely destroyed. Nothing remains [ f the piers except the piling. Tbe wreckage from Gilvestou litters tbe hore for miles aud is 100 yards or 3ore wide. For 10 miles inland from the shore t 13 a common sight to see small raft, such as steam launches, t choosers and oyster sloops. The J ifeboat of the life saving station t ras carried half a mile inland while vessel that was anchored in Moses' layou lies high and dry five miles up rom La Mairkue. Houston, Texas, Sept. 11?HueIreds of corpses have been found j loating or drifting cn the tide. 1 duny were buried by moonlight, without semblance of prayer or reigious ceremony. Owing to the ieat and the presence of so many lead bodies, armed guards are compiling ablebodied men to get the :orpses out of the way. Some are aken out to sea, weighted and sunk n the gulf Six hundred were found lead in one pile. The government elegraphed today that 35,000 rations vere started for Galveston from Kansas City army headquarters. Cures Blood and Skin Troubles. Trial Treatm<nt Free. Is your blood pur. ?

A certain amount of flesh is iccessary for health; if you have j lot got it you can get it by a king icon's fmiiision i You will find it just as useful in summer is in winter, and if you are thriving upon t don't stop because the weather is warm. 50:. ar.d Ji.oo, all druggists.
