Correspondence of the Columbia State.
"Sanator Tillman's presence had
helped to hold the crowd. he spoke
OF national IF .irs about in the same
manner as he did at Orangeburg.
He kept off in the political circus
and said he would assign the ring
masters whip to Walt Whitman.
However he did touch upon the main
issue-the diSpensary. He did not
claim paternity, but said it was the
result of conditions. The fight
against it had been settled in 1894,
in 1895, 1895 and 1898, and yet they
tell US they want to settle the liquor
question. Is it to keep coming up
until we give up to the minority? I
wish you would settle the thing this
time, put up headstones and if you
have any fowers put them on the
grave, too

Two hundred prominent F'ilipinos
met in Manila on June 2l, to deter
mine honorable and decorous meth
DDS of securing peace. The follow
ing are the proposed terms for peace:
1. Amnesty.
2. The return by the Americans to
the Filipinos of confscated property.
3. Employment for the revolution
Generals in the navy and militia,
when established.
4. The application of the Filipino
revenues to succor needy Filipino
soldiers.
5. A guarantee to the Filipinos of
the exercise of personal rights &C.
corded to Americans by their consti-

6. Establishment of civil govern

We notice that many, if not all,
the old time anti newspapers are
Justify crying peace, peace and love-
ingly talk of dead and buried faction
alism, yet there is remarkable
unanimity among them concerning
their advocacy of Col. Hoyt, a con-
servative. If the dead past is
buried, why do we find them urging
the election of one CT their number?
If the fires of factionalism have been
extinguished, why are they so solid
for Col. Hoyt7 From the outlook it
really seems that the conservative
forces have not disbanded, but are
as strongly united today as they ever
were in the past and that all this cry
of peace, peace, when there is no
peace, is for the purpose of disorgan-
izing and defeating their old time
enemies-the R.formers. Strange
strange!! Yet there is no ~ coalition.

BrCokIand Locals.
To the E .litor Of the Dispatch:

To the E Elitor Of the Dispatct:
I will write a short article for your
valuab'e paper from this little village.
We are having fine showers of rain
and every thing seems to be on
boom.
Some sickness, but not of a serious
nature.
Mr. Editor and citizens of Lexing-
ton, we are expecting grand time
on and about the 4:h of July as this
is campaign season and the Jr. O. Z.
A. NJ. are going to have an ice cream
festival on the night of the 3:d of
July for the special benefit of this
noble order. The public are cordially
invited and especially are the candi-
dates invited to attend and enioy
themselves and let the good people
of this village see who they are.
Music will be furnished for the occa-
sion by Messrs. ". NJ. Colley, James
Gunnell and John S. Muse. Tickets
for sale at all times by the committee
for the occasion and can be purchas-
ed at the door cf the Brookland
Academy on the night of the Sd.
All who desire to enjoy themselves
will never regret their visit to this
little village. Come one, come all
and let US unite in this festival and
thereby renew the great American
covenant, as we all desire to see this
land as the home of brave and the
free stand as one solid body for
the good If all. So for fear I weary
the patience Of some one. I will close
and if this escapes the waste basket
I may write again. G T. Weed.
N. B Don't forget the Fraternal
barbecue on the 4th of July at this
village.

Secretary Thompson, of the South
ern Industrial convention, of Hunts
vile, Ala, has made a sensational
attack upon labor unions. He says
that labor unions are the greatest
menace to this government, that
exists inside or outside the pale of
the national domain. He painfully
silent however, about the nafsrious
"black list" system, the weapon of
combined capital to coerce labor into

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
A negro named Eugene Wood was
shot and killed by George Duncan
yesterday on the Saluda side Of the
border. Deputy Coroner Gunter, of
Saluda county, held an inquest late
yesterday afternoon. The verdict
was that he came to his death by q
pistol shot in the hands of G.. Fl.
Duncan. Mr.. Duncan states that
the negro was advancing on him
with drawn pistol when he was
forced to shoot him in self defence.
A sad death occurred here yester-
day, Mrs. Stanmore Hite, after
months of intense suffering with
cancer, crossed over the river and
exchapg ged the pain and misery that
had been her misfortune to bear for
so long for a crown of life in the
E len above. She had prepared
herself by a life spent in the service
of the Master. Today, after brief
funeral discourse by the Rev. DR..
Wilkins, she was laid away in the
Hite burying ground in the western
part of the town of Batesburg.
The frequent rains of late have
interferred with grass killing and in
some places the fields are green with
the pesky thing. We hope for dry
weather soon SO the people will have
a chance to work an otherwise beauti-
ful crop.
The young folks are having picnics,
parties, &c, and improving time in
every possible way during the vaca-
tiop, for school will recommence
after awhile and then it will be hard
work. Occasional.
