??p?? The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Jul; 19.1894. G. M. HARM AN. Editor and PuDiisner. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1900. LAND JUMPERS. It is a matter of no surprise tbat many of the surrounding counties are desireU3 of aequir'ng tome of Lexington's territory should the dismemberment of the county ever take place, when we remember tbat we ~ are a progressive, industrious people and our landB are fertile and pra ductive beyond comparison with the lands of other counties. As a role ? ? J Li oar people are iree irom utui, wo surrounded by plenty and many of tbem have money to lend to unfortunates who reside in neighboring counties not 60 fertile nor productive. Among the latest claimants for some of Lexington's dirt is the Newberry Observer whose reputed editor is also the reputed managing editor of the Lutheran Visitor. This religio secular editor takes the little j >kes of the Columbia State io earnest and with the solemnity befiting the religi ous sanctum and the sordidness which f characterizes the secular editorial room he cries oot for a division of the spoils with an eagerness that would be pathetic were it not so ridiculous. Iq this respect he strikingly illus tr ?tes the characters of Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jet-kle. Representing the character of tbe one be sows tbe needs of peace, happiness, content re^nt and unit}; in tbe character of the other be advocates strife, bitterness, unrest aid division. We assure our Newberry contemporary tbat tbe whole matter is regarded as a huge j ke by nearly every < ni in Lexington county. Tbe C durabia State now and then refers to tbe matter, particularly after a primary election, and this is about all there is in it It is natural tbat tbe State should seek rest and recreation after tbe laborious task of managing a political campaign, ia witticism and there is nothing more natural than Lexington should be the butt of its jukes when it is remembered that tbe people of this county have refused to follow its political lead. This we don't mind as they are impotent and harmless and it is welcomed to all the enj >yment it can derive from cracking them. We have never taker* the States, scheme serious Tbe peo pie of Richland don't want it and t os' of Lexiogton won't have it, and so the matter rests. Col. John Liurens Minning Irby died at bis home in Liurens last Sunday after a long illness witb B ight'a Disease, at the age of 46 years. He is known all over the State, having been at the head of the Rdform Movement in 1890, Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives and later United State Senator, succeeding Senator Wade Hampton. "He was a man of sn perior education, keen j idgment and atrong intellect and a whole souled public spirited man." Aft6r his defeat for re-election to the United States Senate h* retired from politics and turned his attention to hi> law business in which he has been very successful. The corner stone of the texti'e building or cotton palace, the main building of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition was laid in Charleston on Tuesday, December 11, by the Grand Lodge of Masons, which is now in session in that city, with beautiful and impressive ceremonies. Many notable persons, representing this and other States were present. Rev. W. E. Johnson, a Baptist minister, has been acquitted by a Bamberg jury of the charge of murder. The accused killed Court Stenographer Bellinger in that town the first part of the year, for which he was tried and acquitted "After hearing the verdict in the solemn stillness of the early Sunday morning the preacher left the dock to preach to his congregation." Governor B.ckbam was inaugurated Governor of Kentucky od December 11th. "We believe he is the youngest Governor in the United uvawch When you come or send to pay your tax6P, don't forget to call or send and settle your dues to the Dispatch Scarlet fever and small pox ar^ prevailing in many mill districts in the upper part of the State.

Everything is hurry 6curry in town now fixing for Christmas and, as usual, our peop'e expect a good time and the merchants a rushing trade. The installation at the Masonic lodge was had last Friday night when the f jllowing officers were installed for the coming yfar: W. M, J. W. Pood; S. W, E. R. | Steadmar; J. W, J.

Mr. Jacob Keisler is getting very feeble. He is now about 81 years old. The members of S:. Paul's church are speaking of having a re-union of three churches in R v. W. H R of'o charge. Mr. Tally R.
