Dots from leWiedale.

To the Editor cf tie Dl. patch:
As we seldom see anything from
Lewiedale in your most valuable
paper, will send few paragraphs
this week.
The weather, in these parts for
the past week, has been Intensely
colo, but now i: is somewhat moder
ated.
The health of this community
seems to be very good know Of
no place in the State that has better
heal,h than Lawiedale has
Sir. Willie Doniy has returned to
Clemson College to resume his
studies.
Miss Lillian Donly, after spending
the holidays with her parents, re-
trrned to the Columbia Female Col
leee.
Hall Bros, have moved their saw
mill from this place to near Pellon.
Mr.. John Shealy, better known as
"saw-mi!l John," is moving into the
Capt Griffith residence. We wei
come Mr.. Shealy into our midst.
Rev. D A. Lewis moved last Wed
nesday to Warrenville, where he has
pastoral work to perform. We were
sorry to have Mr.. Lewis leave Us.
We wish him much success in his
new home and work.
Mr.. R L. Keisler's grist mill is
under the careful and skillful man
agement Of Mr. ". S Addy, who is
an expert miller, and will run the
mill every day in the week. Let
everybody go to mill and get some
good meal and grist.
There is some talk of establishing
q mandatory Of some description
at this blace. F,iends, let US 90 to
work and get boom on Lewiedale.
I like to see such work carried on.
I am glad, indeed, to know that the
South is becoming so Industrious.
I think the South is destined to be
the wealth;est section of the United
States. Some great writer has said
that within ten years South C!rolina
will be the wealthiest State in the
South. This writer is not a South
Carolinian, either. So much the
better. May the people be aroused
to this effect.
Standing on the threshold of the
"twentieth century," looking back
ward, we see many things brought
to light; looking forward, we are
blind to every future revelation.
: With much success to the Dispatch

Since the disastrous defeat of the
National Democratic party at the
polls last November, the question
which has monopolized the attention
of the profoundest and most thought
full minds within the party, is, what
shall we do with the Democratic
party?
Men, thoughtful, hightoned and
cultured men of the South, who intel
ligently watched the trend OF public
events, and have the courage OF their
convictions, have become restless un-

to respond to the prick OF the spurs
which have been so cften delivered
by the party leaders to keep the
boys in line" They are cha6ng un-
der present conditions and have de-
sire to exercise the right of citizen
ship with the same freedom that
they do in their business, social and
religious prerogatives.
We are confronted with a New
South demanding new institutions
and new applications and new con-
di'ions. In our improved business re-
lations we Cannot longer afford to
sit down in idleness and order innu-
merable slaves to do our bidding,
and presto, it is done. The time
has passed when it is expedient for
US as Individuals, as State and as a
nation to hang the traditions of the
past around our hearthstone and
worship them as the all sufficient for
our present reeds. We are develop
ing into a manufacturing section and
this condition has brought about the
demand for new institutions to meet
the requirements Of new inviron-
ment by which we of the South
are confronted. We have to deal
with the living present and a more
hopeful future, not the dead past and
the sooner we all recognize this fact
the better it will be for us.
II seem that the National Demo
cratic party as now constituted has
lost sight of these changed conditions
and instead of Incorporating living is
sues in it's platforms to meet these
requirements the leaders put too
much stress upon the traditions Of
the past and not enough upon the
hopes of the future. Il has been their
idea that because the policies Of
the fathers of Democracy suited the
people in the early history Of our
country they must necessarily suit
the people Of this age and genera
ton, and with this idea before them
they time after time invited defeat
by pursuing the same fatal policy.
The consequences have been defeat
and driving many of the more ad-
Yanced thinkers into the Republican
party or made them Indifferent as to
the result.
We need live, aggressive party,
One whose doctrines are elastic
enough to embrace the past glorious
achievements of the dead and
to meet the demands and necessities
of the present and future r,qaire-
ments. The Democratic party has
a mission to fulfill and the sooner its
leaders get in elbow touch with the
masses and win their confidence in
it's ability to govern without DO
ing injury to the business interest of
the country, the sooner it will be in
a position to accomplish it.

The General Assembly.


The solons of South Carolina
are now met and sitting in Gen
eral Assembly in Columbia. A
notable incident connected with
this assemblage of statesmen IS
the fact that Representative Alta
mont Moses, of Sumter, was the
first member to take the oath OF
Office in the new century.
The House was called to order
by Clerk T. C. Hamer, after which
Mr.. Moses was elected temporary
chairman. Then the members
of the several counties appeared
before the bar and were sworn IN.
The State commenting upon
this stage of the procedure, says:
CATER the induction into men,
bership the election of officers
were held. This part Of the or
ganization was not completed yes
terday. The next step would
have been to notify the Governor
that the house was ready for the
transaction of business. The
Governor would then have sent
up his message and it would have
been read. Yesterday, however
the house adjourned without the
reading of the Governors mes
sage, an almost unparalleled pro-
cedure.
The officers elected are: W. F.
Stevenson, Speaker; 7. c. Hamer,
Clerk; John s. Withers, Reading
Clerk; J. L. Wilson, Sergeant at
Arms. The Chaplain was not
elected Yesterday
In the election for Speaker,
Efrd and Lever voted for Mr..
Prince. Mr.. Stevenson was elect
ed on the first ballot, receiving 73
votes, which gave him a walk
over.
There being no other business
the house adjourned.
Mr.. Stevenson, the newly elect
ed Speaker, is a native of North
Carolina and citizen of Chester
field by adoption. He was born
in 1861. He is Conservative
but has always voted without re-
gard to factions. He is better
known to fame as chairman Of
the Neal investigating..committee.

ceedings were the address by Mr..

two streets which the city contracted
10 open had not been opened Mr.. Col
Inns and his associates took the posi-
ton that the city had not done her
part ana, therefore, had not acquired
title to the STREETS. Our attorney ad-
Vised us that the city had title to
group one and group two of these
streets, but inasmuch as the city had
not opened the streets which it con-
tracted to open, Mr.. Collins and his
associates had moral claim against
the city. Group No. 8, which Mr.. Col
Inns and his associates offer the city,
consisted of small strip of land on
Harmon street, and the strip of land
to the northward of Anderson street
everybody knows that this particular
strip on Anderson street. which is ten
feet wide. is nothing but a great, big
ditch. Mr.. Collins very generously Of
Tered the city this ditch for the sum
of 70 cents-per square foot, or $3.50.
We purchased from Mr.. Collins and his
associates at $4,000. We really paid
him 25 cents per square foot for that
great, big ditch on the north side OF
Lovers Lane, and he threw in his
moral right to group one and group
two of his original proposition. In my
judgment, if Mr.. Collins ditch is worth
% cents, Judge Norwood's land is
worth three times that.
Personally" added Alderman Dixon,
IT regard the Norwood purchase as
closed, and / think the majority of
Council regard it the same way. We
have traded, and / think the city is in
honor bound to stand to it's trade"

TO TURN OVER THE LAND.
Bishop Kelley VIII Carry Ont Prom

bishop Kelley VIII Carry Ont Prom
Use of His Predecessors.
Judge Seabrook granted an order
yesterday directing Rt. Rev. Benjamin
]. Kelley, Bishop of Savannah, to exc
cute deed conveying a certain tract
of land in Atlanta to the Savannah IN
stitute Of Sisters Of Mercy. 1t was a
step that Bishop Kelley approved, and
to which he assented as a matter of
right, but which as a matter of law he
was not willing to take without an or
der of a competent court.
The land in question was given to
the Sisters, though without the formal
ity of any deed, in 1s4s, when Bishop
Verot was the spiritual and temporal
head of the diocese of Charleston. At
that time this diocese included the
state of Georgia, which has since been
transformed into the diocese of Savan-
nah. The Sisters Of Mercy established
a branch house of their order, with
convent and orphanage, in Atlanta, and
have maintained these institutions con-
stantly ever since. A number of Bish-
Cd Verot's successors in office have
promised and agreed to make deed
conveying the property, but for one
reason or another this promise has
never been carried out.
In his answer to the petition OF the
Sisters. of Mercy, Bishop Kelley ex-
pressed his willingness to make the
transfer, and an order directing him to
do so was granted by the court.
