The Lexington Dispatch G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. WFDNESDAY, MARCH 27. 1901. Last week South Carolina was called upon to mourn the death of two of her most prominent and pro foundest jurists. Toe first of these is ex Judge William H. Wallace, who after a two weeks' illness with grippe, died at his home in Union od March 231. He first came prominently before the people of the State as Speaker of the famous and historical "Wallace House" during the straggle of Hampton and Chamberlain for recognition and afterward as a pare and spotless Circuit Judge. On last Saturday Judge I. D 5 . t l!_ W itnerspoon aiea ao ms resiueuce iu Yarkville, after an illness of twelve days. It is said that bis death was as calm as a slumbering babe. lie was 68 years of age, and was an elder of the Presbyterian church at that place. In 1876 he was elected State Senator. He served as Presi dent pro tern, of the Senate and was afterward elected Judge of the Sixth Circuit, succeeding the notorious Tom Mackey. After serving several terms as Judge he retired to resume his law practice. May Still be Found at His Old Place. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Allow me to say for the benefit of inquiring frierds that "Klondike" may still bs found at bis old place of business or some where on the road He has not at any time deserted bi9 country, and especially in time of peace. This section of the moral vineyard i9 progressing rapidly and soon the time will come when there will be no more back country on Black creek. What a beautiful strong stream it is! May the men with gold soon grace its backs with cotton mills. We were visited with a forest fire a few days ago aDd for some time the larid flames defied the combined v force of fifty or a hundred men. Thanks to the kind friends wbo worked so faithfully, whose property was not in danger. Mrs. Bachman Kyzer caught fire and her son Paul bnrned himself badly in the effort to extinguish the flames. Mrs. John Kyzer is very sick with La Grippe. Mr. Paul Kyzer has moved in his beautiful new house on the Lewied&le public road. Guess whose dogs are enjoying a fine rest. The fruit trees are very late (hereabouts) blooming. The daughter of Mr. Ed Gunter, M*?? Lidia, was buried at Oak Grove, last Friday. Oar pastor, Rsv. Evans Mall, is very sick. Well pat Uacle Jake against any man in Lexington county for reading. Mr. Editcr, the fish are beginning to bide abont in the coves and under old logs. We take it as a sure sign that you are coming to visit us soon. Defeat not our expectations. Miss Inetta Roberts has closed her school and returned to the parental roof." Next time you hear from here I will be the postmaster at Klondike. Echoes from Steadman. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Not often do I undertake to write at>/3 nnf 1UX jruux payti auu nuuiu uw UU") bat to give yoa some echoes from Steadman. The farmers are busy now with their plows getting ready for another " crop. Messrs. A. B. and F. W. Q rattlebaum have disposed of their saw mill, as the work is too rough for them. A. B. Quattlebaum, will open up a new store at this place soon, while his brother F. W, will follow the railroad business as fireman on the Tenn. and New York railroad. We wish them both much success in their undertakings for I think they will be prosperous young men in days to come. Mr. H. J. Burgess has been quite sick with La Grippe, but didn't fail to fill his duty behind the counter in his store at this place. Young man, do likewise and be prosperous. Mr. W. L. Qaattlebaum purchased a cotton gin last fall.* It did not give him satisfaction, so he intends shipping it back and getting another one soon. Mrs. Charlie Quattlebaum and her sister, Miss Kellie Barr, of Ridge Spring, paid their brother, Mr. T. B. Barr, and his wife a flying visit last Saturday and Sunday. They also visited relatives and friends at Steadman. They are welcome visitors in our growing little town Come again, as we are always glad to see you. We saw a few dots in the last week's paper about the Kerney Branch school closing exercises,j which ended with a nice little cake j walk. We are not sure of the writer, but whoever it may be, we know that they made quite a mistake in the ones that won the cakes. I do not think that Christie Barr, is snob a champion as the writer claimtd him to be. He and Miss Mary Feirywon the first cake, Master Paul Qiatllebaum and his little friend, R jy Barr, won the second; Mr James Hallman won the third aDd the last cske was won by two handsome youog ladieR of Steadman, Misses Eula Lee Qaattlebaum and her charmiDg cous-io, Mamie Lee B atwright. Mr. J Frank Kueece, postmaster at Batesburg, got off tbe train fce>e last Monday, the 111h inst. He was met by Rtv M. J. Kyzer. "We were glad to get a glimpse of Mr. Kneece. Miss Lizzie Smith and her brother, of Batesburg, visited the family of Mr. W. L. Q lattlebaum last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. E R Q lattlebaum, near Leesville, spent last Sunday in Steadman. He is a j illy old boy and is wearing a broad smile. Mr. T. B. Barr had twenty dollars 8tolen from him a few days ago. Wishing the good old Dispatch and its Editor much success, A Friend. A Fearful Storm. For the second time within this month has sections of these great United States been visited by storms of wind and rain, which have devasted the sections through which they passed and destroyed life and property. fY?> \faroV> 9.r> >1 ft tnrnado massed X over tho Ohio and Mississippi valleys and South Atlantic States, blowing down houses, uprootiDg trees, killing people and lifting monster railroad locomotives and trains from the tract and burliDg them in the ditch beside the road bed. At Birmingham the number oi persons killed is estimated at 50. five of which were white. The de struction of property is placed at ? quarter of a million dollars. The number injured cannot be estimated but will reach in the thousands. The destruction of negro cabins was sim ply appalling. The house of Gaorge McCowen three miles from Darlington, S. C. was blown down and both he and his wife were injured by falling timber. It is thought that both are fatally injured. Several negroes were more or* less wounded. A small town twenty-five miles Af TT o)om07Art WQ< OUUbUQOOV Ui XXttiUujuuuv) AU.?VU>J ?? M? demolished by the terrific tornad( which swept the place. One womar is reported fatally injured and muct property destroyed. At Double Bay, Texas, the storn assumed cyclonic proportions, killing two persons and injuring several. The Governor of Alabama hat ordered out the State malitia to pro tect the property in the damaged portion of Birmingham. Heavy rainfall at Macon, Ga. flooded cellars and covered floors ir the lower part of the city, driving residents from dwellings. Minor damages was done to property anc fortunately no one was killed or ever injured. A mixed train on the Central oJ of Georgia was blown from the tract about one mile from Buena Vista and the crew was more or less in jured. Other points in Georgia were visited by the storm, doiog considerable damage to life and property. THE COTTON PLANTERS CALLED TO CONFERENCE, Asked to Meet April 6 in Every County, Must Reduce Acreage Or Have Six Cent Cotton. Atlanta, Ga , March 21.?Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Growers' Protective associa tion, has issued a call to th6 cotton producers of the Southern States, asking them to meet at the county seat of every county in the south on Saturday, April 6, for the purpose oi adopting some plan to curtail the acreage of the cotton crop for the season of 1901 and 1902. President Jordan urges immediate action by the farmers before the seed for the next crop are placed in the ground. He claims that the planters will not be able to meet their obligations assumed for guano, mules and other farming materials with the price of cotton at six cents, which he confidently predicts will result from a large acreage. In pursuant to the above instruc tions, I, as President of the LexiDg ton County Cotton Growers' Association, hereby call a meeting of the association for April 6th, in the court house in Lexington. A full meeting is desired as there will be an election of officers and other important business considered and acted upon. D. M. Crosson, Pres. Lex. Co. Pro. C. G. A. A Superb Grip Cure.

Though the weather has been cold they are putting out their manures preparatory to planting. Small grain is looking flattering and I think the farmers will reap a bountiful harvest. The present low price of cotton is making some of our farmers look very blue. My advice to them is that they had better not plant so much of the fleecy staple or they may look worse than blue next fall. Mrs. J. H. Derrick, who has been confined to bed for eight months, is improving slowly. * f* nr. . rt i l'De memoers or onaay vjruve r church have decided to improve their house of worship by paintiDg, build3 ing a recess, putting in an organ and . making other necessary and needed | repairs. While Messrs. J. H. Derrick, J. M. Metz and J. E Folk were on their j way to Columbia the other morning r before daylight, when rear Nickeers . creek, they heard some one cryiDg I loudly for help. Instantly thoughts , of robbers, bears, tigers and other wild animals dashed through their ^ minds and it was with a great deal . of timidity that they ventured on, k but summoning up enough courage they proceeded, but was again startled to see something white in the road before them. The boys , began to tremble until their toe nails rattled against each other in their boots; their hair arose and their teeth chattled together like a forty> horse steam plow running wild over a field of tin cans. After vainly pleading with each other to take the lead, they finally agreed to march on the hobgobbling, three abreast with 1 their hands firmly clasped and 1 cemented by fright. A closer inspection revealed the frightful thing to be Mr. A. S. Ellisor, a well known egg peddler, who met with the misfortune of having his wagon with its load of eggs overturned and burying him beneath the load of ' debris. They succeeded in extract! ing him from his uncomfortable position. White and yellow fluid was 1 literally flowing from him and had ' the boys the other ingredients handy ! they would have been feasting on 1 pound cake and "egg flip" until this day. .blue Uafc.
