The Lexington Dispatch G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. ! LEXINGTON, S. C~ ; WEDNESDAY. MAY ?>. 1901. A rumor cornea from Newberry j that the Southern Railway autbori- ( ties will build a short cut across the State. The rumor goes on to say that the short cut will leave the Southern road at B'acksburg using | the road bed of the defunct. Three j C's, which has been graded as far as ; Union. From thence it will pass j V?rr>rinrVi "NTatrl-vorrw f! TT ftrifl dti tf) j *""* w. ? j Saluda C. H. via Silvc-r Street and j fcs;.- the Augusta end of the Southern ( at Johnston. It is claimed that a dis- ( tance of sixty miles will ba saved by ^ this route which is a great item to the Northern tourists on their way to and from Florida. I? the road is j completed it will be made tha great ( Trunk Line of the Southern System. t It is generally understood that CjL Wilie Jones, of Columbia, will run for the United States Senate next year to succeed McLaurin. Col Jones is a man whose private char- j acter is without spot or blemish and whose democracy is of the stauncLest and most uncompromising kind. ? He i3 a gentleman of splendid afcili- < ties, wide acquaintance and great ( popularity and the candidate who beats him will be the next Senator. "Wo roaftr^ <*V?I .Tnnprt as a winner.? Orangeburg Patriot. ' We heartily endorse all that is 8 said above and predict that he ( will be in the second race an will win. 1 As Peter Rucker would say "stick a < paper of pins here." __. The annual income of Andrew 1 Carnegie, ths well known philanthro- 1 pist, is placed at $12,000,000 and he ' does not have to do any work at all? ! either mental or physical?to earn it. After endowing many public libraries in this country he has goEe 1 ^ ( to Scotland and has given four universaries there ten million dollars with the stipulation that the beneficiaries shall be "Scotish fellow countrymen" only and no English, Irish, Colonials or foreigners shall receive , benefits therefrom. After the murder of two innocent, ? inoffensive and prominent business men of Albany, N. Y., by a squad , of the National Guard, the great Albany trolley car strike has been amicably adjusted by the employers and employees making concession. We submit that bloodshed and violence could have been avoided and the same settlement could have been reached by the exercises of a little i calm judgment and by arbitration. During a thunder storm last Sunday afternoon the tower of the Baptist church at Ellenton in this State wa9 struck by a thunderbolt. The congregation had just been dismissed and a great many people were under the tower when the bolt struck many of whom were considerably shocked but fortunately none of whom sustained serious iniuries. The corner stone of the new Auditorium of Chicora College in the city of Greenville, in this State, will be laid with Masonic ceremonies on Saturday, the 25ih of May, and for this purpose the M. W. Grand Lodge is ordered to meet in extra commu- j nication in the hall of Recovery i Lodge, No. 31 in that city on that , day at 3 p. m. " I Last Friday was "Black Friday" for the Old Confederate Yeteranp, for on that day the Supreme court | handed down its decree declaring unlawful the appropriation of ?150,000 made by the last Legislature. ^ The Old Veterans will get this year | about the same as they got last year. ? i While getting out of a wagon in i Lowndesville, this State last Jt riday, r his pistol accidentally struck against the tire of a wheel and exploded, the ball passing through his body killing him in a few minutes, is the sad story of the untimely death of young ( Hamp Daniel, of AndersoD, S. C., ] who was visiting relatives near ] Lowdesville. i i The contorversy between Editor A. ] ^ B. Williams and Editor N. G Goa- ' zaies, growing out of the Hampton , incident has assumed a personal { nature. "We trust that the parties ? will amicably adjust the matter to , the satisfaction of both parties. j , Tl- J C 1? "Vf it?ill art.

The Methodist churc-b, Academy and other buildings at Paxville in tLiS State were completely csemousned duriDg Sunday's storm. The Southern Presbyterian Assembly, which has been in session in Little Reck, Ark, vigorously denounced Sunday newspapers and Sunday trains. There is a marked improvement in Mrs. McKinley and it is probable that the Presidential party will leave San Francisco for Washington next Saturday. Buffalo's Big Show was formally opened at Buffalo, X. Y., on May 20th. Oue of the most interesting features cf ihe opening ceremonies was the release cf 5,000 homing pigro is bearing messages to all the land that the Pan-Ameiicao Exposition was in a bhze of glcry with El igs flying and bands playing.

The war in the Philippine islands 13 over. The insurgents are daily joming in and surrendering to the Imericsns. They are lileroted as soon as they take the oath of allegiance to the United States. Many New England prints mills lave refused to sign the agreement :o eurta 1 the output of prints cloths rnd propose to operate the mills independent of the new agreement to jentinue short production. A history of the United States has oeen published under the supervijion of Gen. MacAutbor. It is printed in both English and Spanish and will be used in the schools to be ?stablished in the Philippine islands. The negvo will be eleininated from pcliiic3 in Alabama as a constitutional convention will be held in that 5:ate this week which will restrict the right of suffrage.
