I lie Lexington Dispatch (J. JI. HARM AN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. JULY 10, 1901. After an illuess txteuding over h j r.f mnnflia iho mire PDilit of I ~ r, - r. i Dr. J. VV in StokeB has winged its everlasting flight to the God who gave it. It was known for sometime fch'it Dr. Stokes was critically ill, but f?w realized that his illness would terminate fatally, and heDce when the news was received here last Saturday that he had that day died at his home near the town of Orange burg, it was to many persons a painful surprise and could scarcely be credited. Dr. Stokes was desei vedly popular and universally beloved by t'no nonnld of this CuUlltV H8 Well SS j v-~ w by those throughout the eDtire district which he so faithfully aud so ably represented in the lower house of coDgress. Dr. Stokes was one of the ablest and most conscientious men in public life at his time and his public aod private life has been above reproach. His persieteDt ? ftbrts for the establishment of the rural free delivery was successful and he has done the rural districts of the country a service that will be of great benefit to them in the years to come. To the stricken wife and bereaved relatives of the dead husband, statesman and Christian gentleman we extend our warmest sympathies. Elsewhere we give a more extended account of his death and a brief sketch of his life. * = Since the death of Dr. Stokes the statesmeu who are anxious to wiite M. C. after their names, are hustling around mendiDg their political fences, scanning the field and feeliog the pulse of public sentiment. The n imes of the following persons are prominently mentioned in connection with the vacant office: Thomas F. Brantley, Orangeburg: Thomas Raysor, Orangeburg; Judge 0. W. Buchanan, Sumter; Altamont Moses, Sumter; R I. Manning, Sumter; J. Harvey Wilson, Sumter; C M Efird, LexingtoD, andM P. Howell, of Col leton. Berkeley, Dorchester and Rich??? fn hnor frnm Tho i n I9L1U aiU JUW tv urai i * v/lu. a. mv ? v?v * ? this district, says the Columbia State, is the largest in the State. It am junts to no less than 13,14-4 and is divided amoDg the counties as fol lows: Berkeley, 1,12G; Colleton, 1,837; Dorchester, 1,159; Lexington, 2,982; Orangeburg, 3,431; Richland, 158; Sumter, 2.351. The situation of the railroad strike remains unchanged, neither party seems disposed to give in and the end is not in sight The railroad people are still trying to supply the places of the strikers with uou union man and the strikers are trying to r?rovenfc this hfcinnr done bv moral sua f- - D ^ sion instead of the use of pbythal force The men are hopeful of ultiwitely winning the victory, while the railroad people ate just as confident that tbey will win the fight, and so it goes. In CQarleston the business interest of that city has been so crippled by the strike that its merchants ate exerting themselves fco induce both patties to arbitrate their d-fferences and accept a compromise. -Scraps of History." COL WEST CAUG1IMAN If the people were in possession of everything which occurred in connection with the life and labors of the excellent man whose Dame graces this rtaee there would be little need of any further history of Lexington. Beginning his public life at tho beginning of the nineteenth century he was continuously in office for more than sixty yeare, and though under the watchful eyes of the people for so long a period, a well known writer said after bis departure, that among the three or four men he had known who were apparently without fault was "West Oauabmau. The buLj^cl of thJa paper was born on Hollow Creek, in Lexington, Sept. let, 1785. His opportunities for ten?Mnrr o r> or? nodi inn urorA I v ? " J limited. That dow. prosperous and progressive section was then a wilderness aDd there were do schools worthy of the name in bis reach. When about eighteen he spent one year in a good school near the Blue church in the historic Dreher community, in the fork of the Broad and Saluda rivers. He boarded while there with Mr. John Shuler aDd by his high chaiacter and studious habits and rapid progress he won the admiration of this good man who proved himself a true friend to the eDd of his life, and wiliiDgly aided him in his subsequent efforts. BeiDg naturally talented and a j close studeDt he became in the end | well educated and lived to occupy with credit to himself and honor to his county many positions of public irust. Solomon's admonitioD, "Re-j member tby Creator iu the days of thy youth,found a ready response in his life. He connected himself with the Lutheran church at the age of sixteen and throughout a long life of eighty years was a faithful servant of His Divine Master. When eighteen years old he became au officer iu the Lexington Light Dragoons. This was his first office and be was ever afterwards iu the public service in j some capacity until age drove him into retirement. At twenty he entered the store of Abraham Geiger at Granby and remained there in a place of trust for i-ome months. Iu 1S08 he mariied Elizabeth Meetz?, a daughter of the Rev. Yost Meetze. This was a happy blending of two congenial spirits who "climbed the hill together" and during their long and happy and self sacrificing lives, dispensed blessings and benedictions ou the people around them, and when they "went on before" left a county in mourning. Mr. Ciughmau was Captain of the Light Drag oons from 1S17 till 1827. Ia 1825 under orders from Gov. Mauniog he with his company became part of Lafayett's escort as he made his tour through the State. He was elected M?j >r iu 1827 and in 1830 became Lieut. Colonel uud UnlrT tliio rv/,oi J ir?n nnfil 1S13 h&vioff UUIU IUAO ^/UUA Jb W, n been a commissioned officer for twenty-seven years. He was chosen to the House of Representatives in 1818 and held this position for twenty-two consecutive 3 ears. There has been r;o like term of seivice in the history of the county nor of the State so far as the writer is informed. He was stroDgly opposed to the tariff legislation of Cougress and was a delegate to the Nullification Convention in 1832. He was Commissioner of the Poor for Lexington District for thirty-four years, from 1826 until 1860. In 1827 he with Maj Jacob Swygert, Harman Geiger, Benj Jefcoat and Absolem Roberts constructed the Lexington Poor House for the poor and decrepit. He was for twelve years a Commissioner of Free Schools and for fourteen years a Justice of the Peace. He was among the leaders in the movement to establish The Theological Saminarv at Lexington and served for fifteen years as President of the Board of Trustees. He gave the lands for the site of the institution and furnished the lumber for the buildings from his own mills without charge. He contributed largely to the construction of St. Stephens church at Lexington C H ; became one of its first elders and remained in that cffice till his death. He was the first president of the Lexington Teroperence Society in 1835 and held this position until 1848 and till the "societies" became merged into the "Sons of Temperance. ' He was Treasurer of the Lutheran Synod of South Carolina aud adjacent States for twelve years from 1S35 till 1847. He organized a Sabbath school at Lexington C. H, in 1825 and con tinned its superinteudant Tor thirty years. Is there another Sabbath school in the county which has existed for three quarters of a century? He whs a strong Secessionist in 1SG0, as he bad been a strong Nuliifier in 183*2 Ho is credited with having called together the first convention in the State which recommended that the State secede from the American Union. The people responded with practical unanimity aDd he presided at the meeting. Meeting followed meeting throughout the State and the whole country was soon ablaze with ardour and patriotism. To tell the sequel would be to write the history of "The Lost Cause." The story of this remarkable man's life reads like a romance. The pe n tires in enumerating his deeds and achievrnente and the places he so faithfully cmd efficiently occupied?notwithstanding his public labors he was successful as well in his private i?c uuaiuesa. No soil of Lexington bus ever wielded an iLllaence so overpowering and no one has lived among us who would have wielded it more wisely, i His efficient labors during his long term of seivice in the House gave him power and popularity and iLllaence all over the State, and he came in fur his share of the jests of his friends. He was for a long while chairman of the Committe on Roads, Bridges and Ferries, and as he was j very tall, Judge Butler laughingly accused him of being opposed to building bridges, and of claiming i that a well made man could wade nearly all the streams in the State. Col. Caughman died February 15th, 1964, leaving the county he loved so 1 well in gloom and sadness, and lighted up with "the flashes of the guns," while in a death struggle for the principles he advocated. Ten children were borne iu his happy home. Reuben and Mary died in infancy; Dr. Isaiah Ciughman married Francis T. Reed of Connec<. ?i t t? n i wcu ; v?po. o. x . v^auguiuau ucva married: Prof Simeon E. Caughmaa married Add Wilhelmina Assmann; Capt. W. F. Caughmaa married Citberiae DiaftF; Capt. P. H Caughmaa married Harriet S. George; Rebecca was married first to Robert Dreher aud after his death to Rev. W. F. Lippard; Ana C, to Lieut. A. 0. Raaks and Ellea C. to Xoali F. Corley. Mrs. Corley and the weJl kaowa Capt. P. II. Caughmaa are the only children now living. The writer realizes that this is a ! weak tribute to a strong man but he j has done his best with the material J at hand. W. T. B. Swansea, Juue 28, 11)01. The peach crop hereabouts is a failure.

We take the following communications from the Columbia State, and submi- tb< m fcr the consid< ration of our readers without comment: Iu today's issue of your paper several parties are mentioned as prospective candidates for congressional honors to till the vac-ucy occasioned by the death of Dr. J Wiu. Stokes, and while the people of Lexington appreciate Hon C. M Etird ai d Hon. W. H. Sharpe, and desire to witness their nolitical advancement, and will J always stand by them as long as they do honor to our count}: sill we would not one moment forget the services cf her distinguished son, Col. D. J. Griffith, who did her valhnt service in the days that tried men's souls, from I860 to 1805, and again in the dark days of 1870, and whose political career, both in county and State, has done credit to this county and her people. And we must say that we think the time is here and the opportunity ripe in which to compensate him for his labor and the honor ho has heaped upon his people by his past record, both military and civil, aud we, therefore, submit that a fitting remuneration would be in conferring upon him the office of United States congressman. Citizen. Lexington county, S. C, July 9. LexiDgtoD, July 9.?Senator W. H. Sharpe was in town today, and when shown The State with a list of the probable candidates to succeed the lamented Dr. Stokes, from the Seventh congressional district, said: ' T will not be a candidate for con gress. My fellow townsman, Hod. C. M. Efird, wbile in the State senate, succeeded in makiDg the present Seventh district, so I feel it due to him to lei him make the race from this county." Leesville, July 9.?Dr. D M. Crosson is being stroDgly urged and endorsed by a large number of bis friends to become a candidate to fill the vacancy of the seat from the Seventh congressional district in the United States congress, occasioned by the death of Dr. Stokes. Dr. D M. Crosson is well known throughout the district, aDd should be become a candidate his chances for election would be quite good indeed.
