The Lexington Dispatch ' G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. MAY 8. 1801. NO REPUBLICANISM FOR US. We have given space to the lengthy article of ColoDel Ivootts for many reasons. Id the first place we believe that it is a matter of right and justice that the columns of a public" newspaper should be open to the citizen to give expression to bis views" on questions of interests, no matter how much at varieDce those views may b9 with those cf the editor of the paper. Cbiefly for this reason his article appears in these columns. As far as we are informed no one impugns the motives of Colonel Knotts in seveiing his connection with the party of bis fathers and of his race and connecting himself with that party whose sentiments and principles are that Ethopian darkness and heathen barbarity should triumph over Caucasian enlightenment and Caucasian civilization. But there are many who do question his judgment in blasting his opportunities for improving the moral and civil condition of his fellow citizens and destroying his influence for good iD leading th?m to a higher plane of citizenship. It is not our purpose to be drawn into a controversy because there is really nothing in his article to discuss. It is nothing more than a medly of individual assertions unsupported by facts or reason. The history of the Republican party is before the people and needs no explanation. As it is written so it must be judged. Its history was commenced in strife, its progress has been marked with the blood and it will go down to an unhonored grave in blood, leaving behind a record upon the pages of American history that will bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of future generations. It has been opposed to the development of AngloSaxon (white) manhood; it has endeavored to reverse the laws of God, nature and man by elevating the ser? vant above the master. It bas made the American flag which, under Democratic government, was the emblem of liberty, the ensign cf oppression. The crimes that the Republican party have committed in the name of humanity, of American civilization and enlightened Christianity can be enlarged until columns are filled, but we have neither the time nor space to do so. LET US MOVE. We are pleased to see that the movement, to have Lexington county fittingly represented at che South Carolina and West Indian Exposition is taking tangible shape and form. Hon. W7. H. F. East is taking the lead in this matter and in a communication published in this issue invites the hearty co-operation and assistance of every patriotic eon and daughter of Lexington in securing an r>f nnr resrinrops* i.hat will reflect great credit upon the county and advertise her to the world. Lexington has heretofore taken a leading and prominent position in all matters pertaining to agriculture as well as in her manufacturing interests, and whenever she has entered the list to win, she has always left it victorious and with flyiDg colors. Now when an opportunity of enlarged possibilities-aDd greater results are presented to bring her unlimited resources prominently before a larger number of people, it will be worse than folly not to grasp it and make the most of it, especially so since her sister counties arn moving in this direction and will endeavor to capture the blue ribbon. Lexington has been wonderfully favored by nature when she distiibuted her gifts with rich and abund ant resources tbat cannot be surpassed in their adaptability to the necessities of man and of superior quality, and their development into commercial utilities will make her 1 lie richest and most influential county in the State. Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and assist the movement to the best of our ability and as opportunity arises, and let us not rest contented or cease our efforts until we shall have gathered together such a display that shall excite the admiration of the home seeker and sight seer and reflect credit upon Lexington county and upon her people. Mr. Conger, cur minister to China, who has recently returned home from the Flowery Kingdom, in an article prepared for Leslies "Weekly intimates that the Chinese are willing to do anything to restore peace. He is of the nninion that if any nation de- ; r - - . t mands territory ia lieu of a money indemnity the partition of China will follow and this will inevitably cause much dissention bttveen the powers. These difficulties and disputes would be long in the settling ard would lead to terrible confusion in China. It is also his conviction that Russia ha9 so 'far mitigated her demands that there is not now much daDger of serious difficulty between her aod j Japan. Official news have been received ia j rVklnmhift that. thafe-citv has been se- ! lected as the place for the annual meeting of the Southern Educational Association. The meeting will take p'ace next Christmas and New Year. Columbia has won over Chattanooga. k IIIMIHII I!! ! I ? ! ! II MIIII'MI II ONLY AN INCIDENT. The Hampton incident has created , cuite a stir iu political and social circles, and an effort has been made by certain sensational papers to make political cipital out of it. From the 4 * ? ?L La A L A ifcfSHLUUIi^ WUICU LlclS uecix UCVCiupcu it appears that Mr. A. 13. William?, a close personal friend of General Hampton, approached Senator McLiuriD, without the General's knowledge, and asked him to endorse Gen. Hampton for postmaster at Columbia: a promise was obtained conditioned that "when a vacancy occurred:" Mr. George R Koester, a personal friend of Senator McLauriD, on his own motion, undertook the task of ascertaining if Gen. Hampton would accept the position: he consulted with Mr. Wade Hampton Gibbes, Jr., another personal friend of General Hampton, who in turn laid the matter before the General and received his emphatic refusal. There is not a word cf evidence J either expressed or implied, except in the comments of the State Dewspaper, to show that any of the parties acted in bad faith or sought to buy General Ha'mpton with public office. We think that General Hampton' made a mistake in Dot accepting the position, if for no other reason than an bonest, efficient and a Democrat would have held the office. We of the South have, often times hifieriv condemned the class of Fed eral appointments in the South, and yet when opportunities are given for improving the service by the appointment of high toned and competent men to office, they invariably decline and curse the Administration the louder because of its appointments. The Jacksonville Fire. Fifteen million dollars worth of property gone up in smoke -and ten thousand people made homeless is the pitable story that comes from Jacksonville, Fla., as a result of the disastrous fire which swept that city on May 3rd. A little after noon on that fatal day, in a small factory, from a defective wire originated a blaze that was destined to sweep the doomed city like a sea of fire forever ten loDg and horrible hours.. The man upon whose premises the fire started dropped dead from excitement. It is said that the scene during the conflagation was appalling in the extreme and very touching. A stalwart negro biinging a trunk on bis head from a burning building, went crazy from the horror of the situation. He ran around in a circle with the trunk on his head until be sank exhausted and died. Women ran through the street tearing their hair and clothes and in several in stances had almost denuded themselves when they were caught by friends and led to place3 of safety. Horses hitched to trucks could not be cut loose quickly enough and many of them ran wildly through the demoralized crowd making confusion worst confounded. Men and women and children saved themselves from the flames only by making perilous leap3 from burning buildings into the river below. Not since the burning of Columbia has a Southern city been so terribly afflicted by fire. The response to the call for assistance has been liberal and food, clothing, medicine and money are coming from all parts of the country. The people of Jacksonville have gone bravely to work and it is expected that a more beautiful city will be erected on the ashes of the old one. The United States cavalry and artillery have left Pekin. Imposing ceremonies attended their departure. General Chaffee publicly thanked the cavalry and artillery for their services in the international relief expedition and for tbeir behavior since which has been, he said, a credit to themselves and their nation. of Cod Liver Oil is the means of life, and enjoyment of life to thousands: men women and children. When appetite fails, it restores it. When food is a burden, it lifts the burden. When youlose tlesh.it brings the plumpness of health. When work is hard and duty is heavv, it makes life bright. it is the thin edge of the A wedge; the thick end is food. But what is the use of food, when you hate it. and can't digest it? Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is thefood that makes you forget your stomach. if you ricivo riot irieu n, stnu iui free sample, its agreeable taste will surprise vou.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: ' I was phased to note the action taken some time ago by the Cotton Growers' Association at Lexington ; in reference to the South Carolina i j Interstate and West Indian Exposition. Lexington county has been O J j among the leading ones iu the State j hor/>fnfnr? af thr< Fair and it is more ! important now that she take an in j tere9t in this Exposition. It is a | 1 World's Exposition and will not only ( advertise our products and resources ! I to the State but to the world. It is j 1 by this meaus that Atlanta has done so much for Georgia. Most of the counties in the State have already j taken considerable interest in it, have i organized and are getting their exhibits ready. We should not put it off but let every one interested it: the advancement of our county go to work and gc-t up a creditable exhibit of our industries and resources. We , have ample supplies of them. We , should get them up from our agricultural sources both field and stock, , manufacturing, domestic and mineral. | We have thousands stored away ( under our 6and hills. We have in i our kaolin beds some of the finest that can be had and those having such would do well to get up speci- j mens in as neat a shape as possible. ] I know of some near the railroads i that cannot be surpassed. We can- i not afford to be idle while others are i moving. It is not a Charleston Fair but will greatly add to the i whole State. The Federal Govern- i ment has refused an appropriation : but we have the energy and resources j to make it a success and greater will < be the credit if we do it ourselves. Let us put our shoulders to the ] wheel and make it a success not for < Charleston alone but for Lexington and the State. i W. H. F. Rast. Swansea, May 4, 1901.

C, May 7, 1001. j To the E3itor of the Dispatch: Some weeks ago I read in your paper some "Historical Sketches," 1 dealing with the history of the early churches in this county. There was an omission of one name from the list of Lutheran churches enumerated there, ana as the writer of the "sketches1' invites the correction of errors, I fend you this correction, i In Bernheim's history of the "Ger man Settlements ana Lutheran , Churches in the Carolines,*'page 23-i. we find this statement: "Newberry District (county) was only partially settled by Germans, and at a period succeeding the colonization of SaxeGotha. A number cf German churches existed there in 1788, which were incorporated at that time by legislative enactment, the names of ] which were: The German Lutheran t church of Bethlehem, on Forreiits' 1 (FurstV) Ford; The German Lutheran church of St. Jacob, on Wateree < creek; The German Protestant i church of Bethany, on Green creek: < and The German Lutheran church of 1 Cf " i kjl. iuaiuu. j Unless I am badly mistaken the Bethlehem church mentioned here is 1 identical with the Bethlehem still in ! existence end now generally known as the ''Bookman church-'. 1 This is the correction which I 1 < wished to make.
