Another milestone along the journey cf life has been passed, and the Dispatch today enters upon the thirty-second year oi lis with brighter prospects for future usefulness than at any period in its past history. In this connection we do not propose to review the past history of the Dispatch nor enlarge upon the prominent part it has taken in every effort tending toward the improvement of the moral, financial nolitical condition of the people ? r of Lexington county and the advancement of the agricultural, commercial and manufacturing interests of its people. These facts are too well known and recognized in a substantial manner by the liberal support and patronage given the paper in all its undertakings by an appreciative people. Nor have we any extravagant promises to make as to the future course of the Dispatch. We are | content to let that speak for itself as j the exegesies of the times demand, but ) it may not b9 inappropriate to say at this particular time that the Dispatch will ever, as it has heretofore, be * j ? of ri.?ht and ius IOUUU UU CJV.V v,. .-0 tice, contending with all the ability it possesses to uphold the virtues of religion, law and order. The Dispatch appears this week in an enlarged form and a changed make up. Iz has been changed from an eight column folio to a six column quarto. We are satisfied that the patrons of the Dispatch will be pleeeed with the improvement. In conclusion let us advise all to joiu with one accord in the determination to make next year the most prosperous one ever recorded in the annals of the history of the county. The Schley court of inquiry has been closed and the judges are now reviewing the testimony. No matter what the verdict may be the facts have been established that Admiral Schley demolished Cevera's fleet in a very effectual manner: that the Brooklyn, his flag ship, led the chase, with the signal fljing to the -other ships of the squadron: "Follow the Flag:'' that the Brooklyn did the most effective work in the destruction of the ships of the enemy and received the concentrated fire of the Spanish vessels; that Admiral Samp? !?? CanHonrn I SOD tOOK DO part m tuo i fight, in fact was some twelve miles away at the time and did not arrive at the scene of the greatest naval victory ever recorded in history until the last Spanish vessel was sent to "David Jones' locker;" that Admiral Schley wears his honors with a becoming modesty that excites the admiration of even his enemies: that he has put histraducers to shame and confusion as effectually as he silenced the guns of the Spanish fleet. The new constitution of Alabama has been ratified by the people '-^--1 Urr alt&ougti 11 was uifcieri}' uypoocia kjj some prominent Democrats, while many leading Republicans favored the adoption of the n?w organic law. The new constitution wa9 adopted principally to disfrar chise the negroes and at the same time to leave the ! ballot in the hands of every white I man in the State. s | Governor McSweeney has issued his proclamation setting aside November 28th as a day for rejoicing ? 1 ii t ana I i As a national issue the silver question has gone up "Salt R:ver" wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The Industrial commission has made public its review of the evidence taken before it on the subjects of agricultural depression aDd labor in the different sections of the country. The most prominent reason assigned for the existence of this condition is the conservatism of the farmers, their lack of quick adjustment to changed condition and lack of effective business planning. It is alleged that the farmers as a class have not kept up with the spirit of the times, but have raised the same crops year after year without regard to changes in supply and demand. The undue conservatism and lack cf managing ability among farmers is especially emphasized with reference to the Southern States and is given as an explanation of the too exclusive attention to cotton production prevailing here. Mr. Gonzales is apparently in a rage because Mr. Koester, late of the Afterncon Escord, has secured a warm and paying berth in the revenue service of the United States, and has been pouring the vials of his wrath upon Koester's devoted head ever since'the latter has received his appointment as Collector. We have a faint recollection that not long since the erratic editor of the State newspaper publicly and solemnly affirmed that the name of Koester would thereafter not be permitted to appear irwthe'columns of that newspaper as long as he controlled its utterances Lately the State has been grinding out columns after columns of abuse in wbich Mr. Koester's name has been repeated time and sgain. If the State is famous for anything it is for its inconsistencies. Since Judge Gary, has decided that the Jury law of the State is un constitutional no cases of importance have been heard by the courts only consent cases have been disposed of This is unfortunate as the wheels of justice are clogged and the machinery of government are a4- a etandsli 1. The officers, however continue to draw their pay and the taxpayer foots the bill. Collector Koester has appointed two negroes as field deputies in the revenue service of the State, they being George Washington Murray, a Republican and an ex-Ccngressman from the "black district," and J. H. Fordham, of OraDgeburg, a shining light in the Kepublican camp. For making these appointments, the Collector has been censured by many. State Superintendent of Education McMahan has issued a circular letter to the teachers of the free schools of the State urging them to suspend ail regular exercises next Friday, the 15th inst., 'which is Arbor day by legislative enactment. A regular programme has been carefully prepared which can be generally used on that day. Advices from Catabalogar, capilal of Samar, report that Major Wallace attacked a force of insurgents occupying a strong position and after two days of hard fighting and with the aid of two 3 inch guns succeeding in dislodging the insurgents and capturing the position.

Capt. J. A. Mooney, a prominent criminal lawyer and politician, of Greenville was found in his office Saturday in a dying* condition. He was removed to his home near that city and medical aid summoned but he was out of the reach of all human skill, and died shortly after being carried home.
