NO REPUBLICANlsM FOR US.

We have given space to the lengthy
article of Colonel Kuotts for many
reasons. In the first place we be-
lieve that it is matter of right and
Justice that the columns of a public
newspaper should be open to the
citizen to give expression to his views
on questions of intereste, no matter
how much at variepce those views
may be with those of the editor of
the paper. Chiefly for this reason
his article appears in these columns,
AS far as we are informed no one
impugns the motives Of Colonel
, Knots in seveling his connection
with the party of his fathers and OF
his race and connecting himself with
that party whose sentiments and prin-
ciples are that Ethiopian darkness and
heather barbarity should triumph
over Caucasian enlightenment and
Caucasian civilization. But there are
many who do question his judgment
in blasting his opportunities for i'm
proving the moral and civil condition
of his fellow citizens and destroying
his influence for good in leading them
to higher plane of citizenship.
It is not our purpose to be drawn
into a controversy because there is
really nothing in his article to dis
cuss. tits nothing more than medly
of individual assertions unsupported
by facts or reason. The history of the
Republican party is before the people
and needs no explanation. As it is
written SO it must be judged. It's
history was commenced in strife,
it's progress has been marked with
the blood and it will go down to
an unhonored grave in blood, leaving
behind record upon the pages OF
American history that will bring the
blush of shame to the cheeks OF
future generations. 1t has been op-
posed to the development of Anglo
Saxon (White) manhood; it has en-
6ea7ored to reverse the laws OF God,
nature and man by elevating the ser.
want above the master. II has made
the American flag which, under Dem
osratic government, was the emblem
of liberty, the ensign Of oppression.
The crimes that the Republican
party have committed in the name
of humanity, of American civilization
and enlightened Christianity can be
enlarged until columns are filed, but
we have neither the time nor space to
do so.

ONLY AN INCIDENT.

The Hampton incident has created
cutie stir 10 political and social cir
cles, and an effort has been made by
certain sensational papers to make
political clpital out of it. From the
testimony which has been developed
it appears that Mr.. A. B. Williams, a
close personal friend Of General
Hampton, approached Senator Nc
Laurin, without the Generals knowl-
edge, and asked him to endorse Gen.
Hampton for postmaster at Colum-
bia; promise was obtained condi-
toned that when a vacancy occur
red;" Mr.. George R. Koester, per-
sonal friend Of Senator McLaurin,
on his own motion, undertook the
task Of ascertaipipg if Gen. Hamp-
ton would accept the position; he
consulted with Mr. Wade Hampton
Gibbes, Jr., another personal friend
of General Hampton, who in turn
laid the matter before the General
and received his emphatic refusal.
There is not word of evidence
either expressed or implied, except
in the comments of the State news
paper, to show that any of the parties
acted in bad faith or sought to buy
General Hampton with public office.
We think that General Hampton
made mistake in not accepting the
position, if for no other reason than
an honest, efficient and Democrat
would have held the Office. We
of the South have, often times
bitterly condemned the class OF Fed
eral appointments in the South, and
yet when opportunities are given for
improving the service by the appoint
ment of high toned and competent
men to cfice, they invariably decline
and curse the Administration the
louder because of it's appointments.

The Jacksonville Fire.

Fifteen million dollars worth of
property gone up in smoke and ten
thousand people made homeless is
the pitable story that comes from
Jacksonville, Fla, as a result of the
disastrous fire which swept that city
on May 3rd. A little after noon on
that fatal day, in small factory,
from a defective wire originated
blaze that was destined to sweep the
doomed city like sea of fire for over
ten long and horrible hours. The
man upon whose premises the fire
started dropped dead from excite
ment. It is said that the scene dur
ing the confagation was appalling
in the extreme and very touching.
A stalwart negro bringing trunk on
his head from a burning building,
went crazy from the horror of the
situation. He ran around in circle
with the trunk on his head until he
sank exhausted and died. Women
ran through the street tearing their
hair and clothes and in several in
stances had almost denuded them
selves when they we're caught by
friends and led to places of safety.
Horses hitched to trucks could not
be cut loose quickly enough and
many of them ran wildly through the
demoralized crowd making confusion
worst confounded. Men and women
and children saved themselves from
the flames only by making perilous
leaps from burning buildings into
the river below. Not since the burn
ing of Columbia has Southern city
been so terribly sffiicted by fire. The
response TO the call for assistance
has been liberal and food, clothing,
medicine and money are coming from
all parts of the country.
The people of Jacksonville have
gone bravely to work and it is ex-
pected that a more beautiful city will
be erected on the ashes of the old ore.

A Correction.
Cnapip, S. c., May 7, 1901

Chapip, S. G, May Z, 1901.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Some weeks ago I read in your
paper some "Historical Sketches"
dealing with The history Of the early
churches in this county. There was
an omission of one name from the
list of Lutheran churches enumerated
there, and as the writer of the
"sketchesn invites the correction of
errors, 1 send you this correction.
In Berpheim's history of the Ger
man Settlements and Lutheran
Churches in the Carolinas," page 234,
we find this statement: "Newberry
District County was only partially
settled by Germans, and at a period
succeeding the colonization of SAKE
Gotha. A number cf German
churches existed there IN 1888, which
were incorporated at that time by
legislative enactment, the names of
which were: The German Lutheran
church of Bethlehem, on FORESTS
(Furst's) Ford; The German Luth-
eran church of St. Jacob, on Wateree
creek; Tee German Protestant
church of Bethany, on Green creek;
and The German Lutheran church of
St. Martin"
Unless I am badly mistaken the
Bethlehem church mentioned here is
identical with the Bethlehem still in
existence end now generally known
as the "Bookman church.
This is the correction which I
wished to make.
Yours very truly,
Jas. T. Deal.

Lexinqton Must be Represented.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
l was pleased to note the action
taken some time ago by the Cotton
Growers Association ct Lexington
in reference to the South Carolina
Interstate and West Iudian Expo
sition. Lexington county has been
among the leading ones in the State
heretofore at the Fair and it is more
important now that she take an in
terest in this Exposition. 1t is a
Worlds Exposition and will not only
advertise our products and resources
to the State but to the world. 1t is
by this means that Atlanta has done
so much for Georgia. Most Of the
counties in the State have already
taken considerable interest in it, have
organized and are getting their ex-
hibits ready. We should not put it
off but let every one interested il the
advancement of our county 60 to work
and get up a creditable exhibit Of
our industries and resources. We
have ample supplies of them. We
should get them up from our asricul,
tural sources both field and stock,
manufacturing, domestic and mineral.
We have thousands stored away
under our sand hills. We have in
our kaolin beds some of the finest
that can be had and those having
such would do well to get up speci-
mems in as reat shape as possible.
I know of some near the railroads
that cannot be surpassed. We can
not afford to be idle while others are
moving. It is not Charleston
Fair but will greatly add to tie
whole State. The Federal Govern
ment has refused an appropriation
but we have the energy and resources
to make it a success and greater will
be the credit if we do it ourselves.
Let rs put our shoulders to the
wheel and make il success not for
Charleston alone but for Lexington
and the State.

LEI US MOVE.

We are pleased to see that the
movement to have Lexington county
fttingly represented at the South
Carolina and West Indisn Exposition
is taking tangible shape and form.
Hon. ". q. F. R2st is taking the
lead in this matter and in q commu-
nication published in this issue in
Yites the hearty cooperation and as
sistance OF every patriotic son and
daughter of Lexington in securing
an exhibit of our resources that will
reflect great credit upon the county
and advertise her to the world.
Lexington has heretofore taken a
leading and prominent position in all
matters pertaining to agriculture as
we'll as in her manufacturing inter-
ests, and whenever she has entered
the list to win, she has always left it
victorious and with flying colors.
Now when an opportunity OF en-
larged possibilities and greater re-
suits are presented to bring her un-
limited resources prominently before
a larger number of people, it will be
worse than folly not to grasp it and
make the most of it, especially so
since her sister counties are moving
in this direction and will endeavor to
capture the blue ribbon.
Lexington has been wonderfully
favored by nature when she distlio-
uted her gifts with rich and abund
ant resources that cannot be surpassed
in their adaptability to theneeessities
of man and of superior quality, and
their development into commercial
utilities will make her the richest
and most influential county in the
State. Let US all put our shoulders
TO the wheel and assist the movement
to the best of our ability and as op-
portunity arises, and let US not rest
contented or cease our Efforts until
We shall have gathered together such
a display that shall excite the admi-
ration of the home seeker and sight
seer and reflect credit upon Lexing-
ton county and upon her people.
