^ BHmKHranSSBCBHBUJKBnEHEDS The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, June 25, 1902. The True Reason Why. So far both the Senatorial and State candidates have met with poor incouragement in regard to the attendance upon the campaign meetings. As yet the meetings have been very slimly attended by the voters. The audiences have been made up mostly of women and children with a sprinkling of qualified electors. There has but little or no interest manifested in the campaign. At this time it seems that the chances lor success depends almost entirely upcn that candidate who has the ability tc persuade the most personal friends to go to the polls and vote for him. This lethargy on the part of the voters is being generally commented , upon and even the candidates themselves are complaining of the indifference of the people. Various causes have been assigned as the reason for this lukewarmness, the most prominent one of which being the busy season among the farmers,but the true reason, we think, can be traced back | to the action of the State contention in shutting off all debate on the momentous issues which now confront the American people. By its action that convention has gagged the candidates and bound them to a rejected AsmA Rlntfn?m niriA fV?Cm I OUU ucau uxcitiui JLU auu xui mouv buv uu to discuss live issues more suitable ! to the condition of cur people. The j candidates are, therefore, compelled | to repeat their same old story from j place to place like school children ! repeating their A, B. C's. The meetings have been robbed of every element of interest and the people do not feel justified in losing a couple pf days from their farm work just to be told over and over again what their grandfathers did in the long ago. What they want to learn is how to obtain the highest prices for their products; how to make bread and meat and cotLe themselves and their loved ones; pay their debts, and lay up something to Bupport them when the infirmities of ] old age overtakes them. These things are of all absorbing interest to all conditions of people and to learn this lesson they would make any reasonable sacrifice. But, alat! these beneficial lessons cannot now be taught because the powers that be in this State have said they are Republican doctrines and contrary to the teachings and traditions of a Mr. Thomas Jefferson.

It is to be deplored that the large and excellent and well known Pi ice family have not been sble to procure more with reference to their venerable ancestors than the meagre account which is here written. This is among the largest families in the county and have been noted throughout their history for industry and integrity, and for their quiet and unassuming manners and their pure and unpretentious patriotism. There have been not less than five hundred descendants of the first of the name to settle here. George Price came from Germany to Pennsylvania about the middle of the Eighteenth century, and probably about the year 1761, moved to South Carolina. Tradition tells that he set ! tied first cn an island in the Sactee river, believing he had found a quiet retreat where he could pass the re; mainder of life in ease and comfort I with the fruits of his industry around I him. An unusual and unexpected rise in ' the river swept everything while he | and bis family were with difficulty rescued in boats from the raging torrent. He moved next to the section of country between the Broad and Saluda, and later to the place new i known as Priceville, some five miles j from Lewiedale. Here be lived and j died and is buried. He left three chi'dren. Catherine, who married Jacob Rswl. George married a Miss Parr, of the well known family of that name now living in Broad River I township. Christina was married to i ! Matthias Snjder. George, Jr, left six children? Mary married Absolem King. Cath- j erine married George Keisler, Barbara married David Weaver. Jacob | married Catherine Down. Christian married Sallie Oswalt. George married Delilah Oswalt. It is seen that the elder Price's descendants are [ connected with a number of the large and prominent families in the county. Some of the early members of the family are believed to have served in the Continental army. Twenty-one of the name are known to have served gallantly in the Confederate army. Daniel. William, E. J., Robert, E. L, George W , Cdvin, Joel, W. C , Paul, R. J, G. S., D. W., Isaiah, Joey, George Wesley, Levi, G. W., Jr., J. E, Jacob and John, while many others of different name3 with Price blood in their veins were true to their county and Stat? during the Civil war as at ail times before and ! since. No one regrets more than the writer that this account of this excellent family is, for want of fuller information, necessarily so incomplete. W. T.

Wreck on the C., IT. and L. Columbia, S. C, June 20?The | Columbia, Newberry and Laurens I train that left this city at 12:30 last night ran ii_to a freight car at Leaphart's, in Lexington county, and the j engine and two cars were ditched, | the engineer, W. A. Clifton, being | seriously hurt. It was clearly an at| tempt to wreck the train and an efj fort will at ODce be made to find the | parties guilty of such a crime. There ! is a siding at Leapbart's, yesterday : a car was left there. Last night the ! train came around the curve just bei low the depot and as there were no | orders to stop there, they were run| ning at a fair rate of speed. Without : any warning the train crushed into i the flat car and the engineer and two i cars were ditched. Mr. Clifton was s I the only one hurt, although it was a i narrow escape for the whole crew. | Mr. Clifton was at once brought to : Columbia, and taken to the hospital, where he was reported doing well I this morniDg and it was reported j that he would be all right in a short | time. Trainmaster Summersett went up j to the scene this morning and the i track was at orce cleared for traffic. There will te do delay of trains as S the track was repaired at once and ! the wreckage reiroved.

The health of our community is j excellent at this writing. We have been blessed with fine rains, which fell Sunday afternoon, the 18 h inst. It was welcomed by every farmer of this community.

This is great speed, but for a short distance the salmon can do better, since it has frequently been known to swim at the rate of forty miles an hour. Among the smaller fish it is doubtj ful if there is one which is more swift than the Spanish mackerel, j As a rule, however, all those fish 1 which prey on others are remarkably | swift, which is only natural, a3 if | they lacked speed they would be unj able to hunt successfully for prey | and would often be obliged to go i hungrv. i o %/ I " Beady to Yield.
