The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul\ 19, 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 28. 1900. WHAT A GLORIOUS TIME WE'LL HAVE ......... ,.11P. Mr, , cuiiiM nawv<s? WHtR inc m ILLblllvm wniii.v. The Capital couDty scheme. aa ad vocated by Mr P. J Packer in this issue, is a subject which is not nou uodcr consideration, and. therefoie n^eda do answer, except iu passing wj might say that it reads mere like a fairv tale where in one night tb< good Fairy transformed a God for sikened, barren aDd poverty striker strip of country called Lexinglor county into a blooming paradise o fruitfulness and prosperity to b< koown as Capital county, than i< djes from a sound and practicabh K'lbinPRR man as our correepoDdenf ht8 shown himself to be in the past His idea is the same as saviog that by annexation, the rivers of the an nexed counties would flow with boD ey, its trees produce pancakes anc its saDd bills be turned into butter and all its inhabitants would have t( d> would be to eat until God ia hi< righteous indignation blots then from the face of the earth as i punishment for their effort to reverse His decree that man "should eat hit bread by the sweat of his brow.1 Mr. Rocker's ideal improvement calls for the expeudituie of lots anc cords of public moDey, and to rai<?< it requires and increased levy and a3 sessment. The question is, are the p ople willing to have tl ii inireHsst taxation placed upon their ptoperrj io the delusive h^pe that there wil be even an fqaitable division of th( benefits accruing? If these taxes art to be levied upon Lexington undei the Dame of Capital or what not then by the memories of the pas! and the hopes of the future let it b? done solely and wholly by L-xing toDiaos for the benefit of th< name of the grand old county u! Lexiogtoo, beneath whose protecting arms we have been lulled to sleep ir childhood's halcyon days and ir whose sacred bosom we expect t< rest our tired bones "after lift's fitfu dream is o'er." It is indeed an unfortunate thing that this agitation, was ever com meoced. It can only be fruitful ir the production of bitterness anc . strlffi-amoug people over whom thi " dove peace was beginning to over shadow. For nearly a decade ou people have been torn asunder b; factional strife aud now when tb< bleeding sores were beginning ti heal and confidence restored arid in terrupted business relations betweei the people of It'chland and those o Lexington reuewed, it is ill timed a well as unwise to open afresh tbes' healing sores, to again tnrn confi dence into distrust aod once*mor interruptour business lelatioL 8 wbicl are satisfactory to the people of botl counties.

To the Editor cf the Dispatch: The crops are nearly gathered anc griin sowing is advancing, but tb< high pi ices of cotton this fall wil ru*h the cotton industry probably beyond auy other crop and the iff rl Dext year iu this direction will be t great one. At the expiratiou o: Cleveland s term of desolation there were nearly 3,000,000 bales of cot tot surplus from former crops and thet other years of neatly 11,000,000 bilehave succeeded. But alas, the spin die has used up al! these millions and is dcw on the crop of 1900 What a contrast, and yet the intern! is not abiting. Miss Anna Hartley from Bitesburg has been visiting relatives here and has returned home. Mrs. Ann Templeton of Barnwell county, is on a visit to friends at Swansea. On Sunday morning at the home of Col D J Knotte, Miss R becca Dowlirg was married to Mr. Samuel Hare of Saluda county, by the Rev. S. B. Sawyer, and the newly married couple took the train at 5 o'clock p. m for their home near Mt. Willing. Madam Rumor says that today Marshall R dmond of this town will muxry Miss Susie Jefcoat of Aiken ?;ouaty. Trial Justice U W. J fcoat has sold lis dwelling and store Louse attached, to "William M Johnson and will move back shortly to that famous locality, Pond Branch, aDd very near a noted place on that : historic creek known as Drunken Bjidge.

Busby -of Monetta, and are going to Florids, 1 and Mrs. Samuel Harsey is going with them. They are good citizens and we give them up reluctantly. r , In the streets of Swansea a few days since was witnessed a hard, feaiful figbt but not a bloody one. Several citizens were curiously watch- 1 ing a war between apparently lival colonies of little ants. Some were j with wings aod some were without them and those with wings kept on , comiDg and lighting down in the midst of the coi flict. When it was all over the ground all around the little borne was white with wings and apparently then all was quite | and quiet reigned in Warsaw. N-itu ral historians say the winged ants are the male ants and that the fieht I was by the little women to eat (ff f these wings and "the boys" then can't fly no more. The winged ones are expansionist fiorn principle and the little women are imperialists from nature and the happy union solves I the trouble BDd dtfeDds the wisdom of nature.
