The Lexington Dispatch, | LEXINGTON, S. 0., j G. M. Harm ax, Editor and Publisher, j Circulation, X,?3^0?, j Wednesday, October 26, 1904. The comiuij .t-ir-ctiou is in many respects the imoortant one held ! in this State biue?* 1S7G. The issues have been cieaiij made and the lines as clearly drawn. With us in the Seventh Congressional District the issues have been narrowed down to one; namely who shall represent us in Congress?A. write man or a negro?A Democrat or a Republican? AU others siok into insignificance when compared to tbi3 one, because the civilization of the Anglo-Saxon * is in aaDger. You may look &fc the question in * what ever light you may yet the white .man and the negro?the civilization of the ADglo Saxon and the superstition and ignorance of the negro stand appealing for the suffrage of the people, therefore, this is not the time to be dickering with the enemies of the enlightenment and culture and virtue of the white race on account of whatever of prejudice may or may not exist against the nominee of the Democratic party. He stands for white supremacy and intelligence as against the opposite to these virtues. If the results of the election depended entirely upon a majority vote we would have no fears. Congressman Lever would be returned without the least degree of trouble, but it is the avowed intention of the ; Republicans to move heaven and - earth, if such a thing be possible, to unseat him, after having been honestly and fairly elected by the suffrage of a majority of his constituents. If a working majority is needed by a Republican Congress, advantage will be taken of any loop hole to unseat a Democrat and seat a Republican. The most dangerous looph )le is the indifference and carelessness of the Democrats. They are contented with the results of the primary and do not think enough of the general election to turn out to vote. ? This might do in regard to the State election, but it will never do in reference to the Federal one. We who desire to have a white man rule over us should go to the polls on the 8.h of November and vote for the Democratic Presidential Electors and A. F Lever for congress from the Seventh District. Not only this but see that our neighbors and friends do the same, even if they have to be hauled to the polls in buggies and wagcns. The mice of Liberty is eternal vigilance and the time is now here wben we should exercise that vigilance that will ensure to us the priceless heritage of Whits Supremacy. Let us show our colors by goiDg to the polls aDd votiDg for Hon. A. F. Lever for Congress on the 8 :h of November. Reports from Columbia are to the effect that the city is .full of visitors. The number of which is exceeds those for the first day by far than any previous fair. The new grounds are beautiful in their artistic arrangements. It seemed that the sole purpose of the architects was to provide for the convenience and comfort of the visitors so as to make it a pleasant and joyous occasion and to say that tbey have succeeded in this object is but mildly. expressing what has been accomplished along this line. The exhibits surpasses those ever seen at a State Fair. Tbey are more numerous, finer in quality and are a worthy representation of the produc ts of the different sections of South Carolina. Oa the whole, this State Fair is really a scene of bewildering splendor of gaity, mirth aDd happiness com bined with the practical lessons of every d \y life as shown in the exhibits of every department in fact it is a happy little world unto itself. It is an apparent fact that the Stats Fair has taken on new life new hopes and new aspirations, to all, of which we j )ia in a hearty amen. Mr. James Henry Rice, Jr. has announced bis retirement from the Editorship of "The Field," a journal published at Conway, this State, in the enterest of the devoiopment of the Pee Dee section. Mr. Rice's retirement will be a blow to Tbe Fieid and a disaster to the "Land of The Swamp Fox " Lexingtonians should not forget to call on the merchants who advertise in the Dispatch when in Columbia. \ E H. Deas, tbe load moutb Rpublican negro leader, commonly known as "tbe Duke of Dailiogton,' bas written a letter to Governor Heyward requesting Republican representation on the Boards of Federal Election Commissioners. Tbe State says tbat the Duke is just thirty days too late. A fire in the cellar of tbe State's printing office in Columbia Saturday night destroyed an $8,000 pap?r stock. The State sbowed commendable enterprise in getting out sucb an excellent Sundiy edition under the circumstances. Captain Hitch, who was in command of the military company at the time the two negroes were taken from the court bou?e at Statesboro by a mob and lynched, has been dnmisee d from the Georgia militia. There i3 a diversity of opinion as to the wisdom of Governor Heyward in commuting the sentence of death of Hoyt Hayes to life imprisonment. We, however, believe that he acted with great discretion and wisdom. CiareDce Thraiikill, who accom panied his father and participated in the killing of Benj B. Burton, in Saluda county, has been found guilty of manslaughter. , 200 men of Oconee have signed a octinnr fT-rwomnr HfiVWHTd pCttblWii aoaiuc^ vi v ? to resign because he commuted the sentence of Hoyt Hayes. Their action was childish. Japanese Casualties.
