The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, February 19, 1S02. THE EDITOR'S JAUNT. After leaving Westmoreland's, an acoount of which was chronicled in - * ' J IL. last week's paper, we conunueu iut> pursuit of the cart wheels, touching the railroad at Batesburg. A tidal wave of prosperity has struck this place, sweeping lethargy and old foggyism from the field like the wind does the chaff. Business is on a big boom and its industries flourisheth as a green bay tree. New residences are being erected and the signs of a healthy state of industrial activity are seen and felt on ail sides. Batesburg has a magnificent back country from which to draw trade, and by the nroeressiveness, liberality and accom L %-r modation of its business meD, eDjoys a large volume of trade. It is a beautiful town with many magnificent residences and a climate that has almost national reputation for healthfulness, even surpassing the reputation of Aiken. It is one of the pos* * #1'' * - * - ? ? 1?iUrv kno SIDUUies 01 me near iuiuio uav iuia place will be one of the most famous health resorts for invalids in the United States. Indeed arrangements are in view to this end. All of the natural surroundings of the place as regards drainage and pure fresh air in which no microbes of any disease can find the elements upon which to - *? * i r t feed ana exier, are largely iu lavur 01 Batesburg, and the invalid will find in it a miniture Garden of Eden before the fall of man left disease and death as a legacy of his folly and disobedience to future generation. A fine school, which is liberally patronized, we were glad to learn, under the management cf Professor Ernest Wiggins, an efficient and accomplished instructor of wide reputation as a ripe scholar and cultured gentleman, fiourishes and prospers within the limits of the town, and is doiog a coble and useful work for the .gallant boys and fair daughters of that place and vicinity. Next to its churches and school, the pride of Batesburg is its excellent hotels. We were indeed fortunate in finding a resting place at the Cullom Hotel. We found it to be a model one with modern] appointments and conveniences. Its fare cannot be excelled even by the city hotels, and the comfort of its guests receives the careful attention of its management. Perhaps the town that has shown its improvements to better advantage than any other one in the county is that of Leesville. This place is fast forging its way to the front rank in commercial and educational importance and its citizens are as one man in pushing along the good work. It is a place of business, of churches and other advantages incident to culture and refinement. Here is located the well known Leesville college < which eDjoys a reputation for thoroughness, completeness and proficiency second to no similar college in the State. Professor L. B. Haynes is * its President, and he is a scholar of recognized ability. He is assisted ?n Vlio nnhlp wnrk bv a full corns of Ai* A**W, -competent teachers who are specialists in the braDcnes taught in the department over which they preside. This college has undoubtedly been a great factor in the growth and development of the place. People from the country around have moved to town, bought lots and built residences in order to give their children the benefit of the advantages offered by this institution. The business outlook of the place is bright and cheerful; its merchants are live and progressive; its business houses are handsome and commodious and its residences are spacious and elegant. Its people are refined and cultured. The 1 ~ ~ I, /-. f fV\r% YA! rt/in i c nnrc Hiurai HIIUUP^UCIC UI lUC piav/C 10 yUi and healthful and altogether it is a very desirable place to dwell. At this place Auditor Derrick was called home by telegram to assist in draw ing the juries and Mr. Dan Gunter was appointed deputy and continued to act as such until we wound up at Lewiedale. Mr. W. B. Taylor has recently purchased the Derrick House and proposes to conduct an up-todate dollar a day boarding houee. From experience we know that his table is furnished with the best the market affords and his rooms are large and clean. Summit was our next point of visit ation, and on arriving there we . took returns in Hartley & Brother's store beside a comfortable fire. We acceptably seived the taxpayers who called. There is not much business done at that place although it has a good back country to support a large general mercantile business and other lipo and r?rr>arfiRsive business men x o will find it a very lucrative locality to locate. From thence we departed for Lewiedale at which point cur trip ended. The town has about the same appearance as it did when we were last there. We had the pleasure of taking dinner with Mrs. John Shealy, who resides at Col. Griffith's old home, and a most delightful oDe it was, too. Its excellency and our appreciation were amply shown by the amount we disposed of. After picking up a few cart wheels, we left ?- * > ? i . .i_ i _ _ Dan at worn ana orougnt me Duggy oa home.

Hartley died last Friday, and Saturday p. m , after a thoughtful funeral discourse by his pastor, Rev. Dr. Wilkins, be was laid in the cemetery here, besides a number of his loved ones, who had oreceded him to the spirit land. There is little necessity for a sketch of the life of Jack Hartley for he was so well and so favorably known that all who may see this brief notice were probably acquainted with him personally and know the sentiments herein given to be true to life . He was born within a few miles of this place and has been a resident here for a number of years. His labors for Christianity, morality and temperance was only equalled by bis industry in everything he undertook to accomplish. His was no doubtful position. He was candid and open i in every act and his faithfulness to I m i n /? i i , r irienas ana naenty to ms iamny were proverbial. He was a bard worker and few persons bad tbe push and energy be possessed. He bas been sick for a long time and bis battle against tbat fell destroyer "consumption" bas sbown tbat indomitable will tbat never gave way to despair, but ever bopeful cf the best, he went down without a ; murmur at the decrees of Providence. ; His place cannct be filled, but his | influence for good will still live and i trust will bear fruit for God and ! eternitv.

Ivaufmann. j J Filipino Treaohery. Two St. Louis Soldiers Furnish Striking Illustrations. St. Louis Globe Democrat. There are very few good Filipinos, except dead Filipinos, is substantially the opinion of Frank J. Jakuboweki and.J. M. Adams, two intelligent and observing young men, former members of company L, Third United States infantry, who have just received their discharges t/-> Vie.ir bnmo 1 fiOft ?LIU 1UIU1UCU L W bUV*i. ? - vwv Wash street, after a service of three years' almost continual campaigniDg in the Philippines. "Treachery and a bloodthirsty desire to slay any one who has done him an injury sre the predominating traits of the Filipinos, so far as my observations would permit me to judge," stated Mr. Jakubowski at his home last evening. "Honor is almost unknown among them?the mejority of them, understand. A Dative traveler comiDg into a village who is reputed to have anything of value about him will be received with open arms and much hospitality but it is pretty safe to say that in two out of three houses he is liable to be murdered in his sleep for his supposed possessions. Just about half the Filipinos are born with the natures of the Bender family. A proveet sergeant in a small town near Calooch3n was murdered one evening bv a man whose life he bad saved but a short time before, a native who was supposed to be a very good friend of the sergeant. The body was found near the bamboo fence of the native's yard; the native was arrested on suspicion, but be lied so well, talked of how good the soldier had been to him and made such a show of grief over the remains, that he was released. Five days later, through the treachery of an enemy of the man, it was definitely asceratined that he had murdered the sergeant as he left his house after an hour of pleasant social intercourse. You can not trust them, and the treachery is a terrible thing to fight against. They will greet you with a smile, and yet the moment your back is turned, ere the smile of welcome had died from their lips, they would thrust a knife in your back. "But that other equally strong trait of their character?the bloodthirsty desire to have vengeance on any one who does them the least injury, real or fancied, is gradually working the undoing of their murderous habits. Before the advent of the Americans the vendetta was the tniDg tnrougnout tne islands, but now it is somewhat different. If a Filipino, or a member of his family is injured by another native he immediately allie3 himself with us, aDd, despite his natural treacherous tendencies, which would reign supreme under aDy other circumstance, may be relied upcn for correct information about any plot or movement in which any member of the family against which his hatred is directed is concerned. Ho is a decidedly useful citizen UDtil he has wreaked vengeance on his enemies, and his period of usefulness may be indefinitely extended by keeping some of his foes at large. He is almost invariably friendly toward the Americans in every respect while engaged in prosecuting his vengeance and though be always works under the rose at all times his work is none the less effective, and is one of the most potent agencies in keeping the peace of the islands, lhis native intelligence department has grown to such proportions in Luzon that few men in any of the villages will make any kind of j a move against us, for fear some one | wbo may have a grudge against them I will inform on them, and thus bring I them to an untimely end. The white | dove of peace cooes gently in nearly | every part of Luzon, save in some of j the wilder mountainous parts, where there are tribes that live continuously in a state of warfare; their fightin/v orroinof onT?l"ir\rlr notiroo Uli C^ICU agaiuou ouj uuuj, uau i or Americans alike; the lirst they j strike when they start on a manhunt I is their meat, though they have geni orally found our soldiers so tough that trjing for bites from us is losing its interest, even with them. Mr. Jakubowski and Mr. Adams enlisted in the 3rd at St. Louis in i January, 1899, and after a few weeks i spent at Fort Snelhng, sailed fcr J Manila from New York. For exactly j two Tears and five months they were i _ j I actually in the field against the Fili- ; pinos, participating in 20 different ! battle?, and were also in the campaign in which General Lawton lost ! i his iife. They arrived in St. Louis , via San Francisco just a few days ! ago, having been given an apportu- ! * nity to visit China and Japan, and ! 1 thus bad a trip around the globe at : Uncle Sam's cxperse.

There is no more agonizing trouble ^ than piles. The constant itching and burning make life intolerable. No position is comfortable. The tor- ] ture is unceasing. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles at once. For skin diseases, cuts, burns, bruises, all kinds of wounds it is unequalled. J. S. Gerall, St. Paul, Ark, says: I "From 1865 I suffered with the protruding, bleeding piles and could find nothing to help me until I used ] DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. A few ] boxes completely cured me." Be- ^ were of counterfeits. J. E. Kauf- ^ mann. 1 True art lies not in concealing art 1 bit rather in sell ng it for a good j price.
