a gentleman WAS making what
might be termed conversational
speech the other day in our hearing
and he made n remark like this:
Omitted we fall and divided we stand.
When asked to explain, said: "Well
you see we are united on being divid.
ed and stand that way, and of course
we will fall" We did not catch the
first part of the conversation, but
think the conversation was on polit
ical subject.

Complimentary Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted by st. Jacobs Evangelical
Lutheran congregation April 10, 1896:
Whereas, our good brother, Rev.
w. L. Darr, who has been for the last
seven years an assidious and indefat
igable worker in the St. Jacobs pas
torate in all its functions; and,
whereas, general resolutions have
been rendered from the charge as a
whole, and as we feel it our impera-
tive duty as a congregation in order
to more fully empasize our sentiment
"well done" toward this, our es-
teemed brother, therefore, be it
Resolved, 1. That we, the mem
bers of St. Jacobs church, in hum
bly, submitting to and accepting the
resignation of this, our kind brother,
are keenly sensitive of the Christian
ties that are being severed.
2. That in this painful separation,
we are truly conscious of the fact
shat it is only temporal, not eternal
which is our comforting thought.
8. That this congregation extends
its most hearty thanks to this, our
worthy brother, for the active part
he has taken in our Sunday school
work, and will ever hold his name in
grateful remembrance as an earnest
and ehectual Sunday school worker.
4. That as the departure of our
brother is drawing near, we pray
Gods blessings to attend him in his
work wherever directed by the Great
Head of the Church, and that in his
new field of labor he may be found
worthy of the vocation wherewith he
was called.
S. That copy Of these resolutions
be sent to Our Church Paper and to
the Lexington Dispatch for publica-
tion, and that a copy of the same be
inscribed upon our church records.

News frcm Sandy Run.

Easter Sunday was observed at
the Lutheran church by appropriate
services by the popular pastor, Rev.
2. e. Livingston, while the church
was tastefully decorated by pro-
fusion of flowers suitable for the
occasion.
The farmers are busy planting
cotton now. Corn is up to a splendid
stand and is looking well. Much
fertilizers are used in this section,
but large per centage OF it is used
for corn and potatoes.
Rev. R. c. Boulware paid visit to
his mother in Newberry county quite

Rev. S. w. Henry, formerly OF

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
Please give me space in your paper
for q few lines, as Mr.. Koon has
asked for others to give their views
on the free silver question. l will
give you my opinion about Swansea
Democrats. They will not be in
scramble like last year. think they
Will turn out in full force next Satu,-
day. It is not Tillman calling for
bolt that will cause them to turn out
but we all know just what he means
and intend to obey. That is to send
good men to the convention in favor
of free silver plank in the Demo
cratic platform with Tillman on it.
Our friend who has just joined the
Republican party will cause them to
come out. The Reform party is
stronger now than it was two years
ago. They can stand on partyism
where it is white man against white
man, but when it is negro against
white man they cannot stand II.
Possibly our new convert can swallow
him, he being a good size man, but
! if he should get choked on him l
don't think the Conservative party nor
the negroes will unchoke him.
The Ants say they are going TO
keep hands of, so far as the Repub-
lican party is concerned, and if they
make fight it will be in the Demo
cratic ranks.
The writer, being Tillman man
and Reformer, the people speak out
fully, for don't hesitate to put the
question to them.
I think this part of the county will
furnish some candidates, especially
for Sheriff, Senate and the House,
and they are men who will not be
afraid to say that they stand on the
silver plank in the platform.
