GA Stencil in the Nostrils."
A PROMINENT REFORM NEWSPAPER
CALLS FOR A THOROUGH 1NvEs-
TIGATIoN OF THE DIsPENsARY
AND BOND SCANDALS.

Lexington Dispatch.
The dispsnsary and other scam
da..s with which the names of sew
eral prominent Reformers are con-
nected have become a stencil in
the nostrils of all honest people
regardless of factional affiliations.
These scandals have been brought
to the attention of the people in
such a way that they can no longer
be laughed off or put aside un-
contradicted in the clearest and
most unequivocal denial, and the
most unimpeachable testimony
produced to prove their falsity. It
is clearly the duty of the next
General Assembly to appoint an
committee. with pow
er to send for persons and papers,
whose duty it will be to sift these
matters to the very bottom. If
Nixon is innocent, if he were not
offered a bribe in the nature of re-
bates, then he has nothing to fear
but everything to gain by being
completely vindicated. If Gov
ernor Evans is guileless of re-
ceiving $4,000 as bribes from
Rhind in placing the State bonds,
and is in no way connected with
the several misdoings with which
his name is. connected, then he
should be the very first to demand
thorough and rigid investigation
of all his official acts both while
Senator from Aiken county and as
Governor of South Carolina.

A SECOND PRIMARY GER
TAIN.
The Official Count Leaves No
Doubt of Evans Defeat.

Columbia, August 2S.-Special ::
It was a last hope Of the Evans
people that the official returns or
a careful count would show such a
mistake as to do away with the
plurality against him. No such
good luck happened, and the Of
fetal returns show that the Anti.
Evans vote is $50 ahead. 1t was
pretty close, but there is all old
sayin that miss is as good as a
mile. 1t is known to all that the
Conservative vote. as it was once
called, did not turn out in force,
and yet Judge Earle received a
larger vote than anyone ever ex-
peeted he would get, and got near
iy the full vote of Sheppard, al
though the aggregate vote in 1892
was 10000 more than it was on
Tuesday. In 1892 the Sheppard
vote was S2,783, while the Earle
vote was nearly that, all of which
goes to SOW that the Reformers
are not to 1e whipped into line at
every call, ut want to be allowed
to do bi q their own thinking,

but the payment of debt of graft

at Greensboro in that state, and
made such favorable impression
that when the North Carolina del

SLUGGERS AS UMPIRES.

the free show would be decidedly more en-

cal strata the formation of rocks the Zones

probably therefore the rest of the universe,
is millions of years old, instead OF thou,
sands The theologian answers that the
day mentioned in Genesis may have been
an aeon and SO there is nothing inconsistent
in the biblical account of creation with
the contentious OF the scientists
However that may be--and at hest there
is a large quantity of conjecture on either
side-recent discoveries demonstrate indis.
putably that the generally accepted chro
nology of our planet at least will have to
be revised. The Israelites, for instance,
will celebrate in a few days the advent of
the year 5651, reckoned from the time of
creation. Yet two professors OF the Uni
versty of Pennsylvania have recently laid
bare in the valley of the Euphrates and in
the long buried city OF Nipur records en-
graved upon stone tablets which go to
show that in that region there existed n
high order OF civilization extending back
nearly seventy centuries further than any
of which record has been made heretofore.
Prof. Bimon, of the Biblical-Archaeologi-
cal Society of Loncop, calls attention to
the fact that the dates on the exhumed
tablets correspond with the Jewish caien-
dar, and that. therefore, the events related
on them can be readily fixed 10y the chronolo-
gist.
How old is our earth? Evidently more
than fifty or sixty centuries. or even twice
that number, for, if there was a high order
of civilization ten or twelve thousand years
ago, it follows that there must have been
a preceding period OF thousands of years
or duration, during watch the evolutionary
process OF civilizing those races was car
