Would Open Old Wounds.

Terrible Effort Being Made to Stir Up
FactionaIism, But it Won't Succeed.
A terrible effort is being made this
week to stir up old political feuds and
reopen wounds that have healed.
This is not the work of men who love
their State better than their selfish
ambitions. Factionalism is dead and
the man who tries to bring it to life
should be buried, politically. One
of the best results Of Capt. Heyward's
election will be that he will represent
the entire people. He is the candi-
date of no faction or set of men. He
is being enthusiastically supported
by men who eight and ten years ago
opposed each other bitterly. For the
first time in many years we will have
a governor who cannot be claimed by
this class or that class. He will be
for all.
The alliance grip is given and the
call to arms sounded, but the Alliance
men, as the returns from the election
show, are standing by the only man
in the race for governor who has al
ways been farmer, who has never
before run for public Office and whose
ability and character are of the high
est. The people will elect the next
governor despite the politicians.

Now for Good Roads.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the Editor OF the Dlspatcn:
Your suggestion about public roads
is good one. Would this not be q
good time to call q road convention
to meet at Lexington Court House
and discuss the matter cf public
roads in all of its phases, the law
governing the same, Communication
tax, direct tax to supplement the one
dollar Communication tax now in force,
and plans for improving the public
highway; at the least cost? If those
who are in favor of the proposed con-
vention viii! send me a postal to Irmo,
S. c., I will make the call in your
next issue. It will be better for the
defeated candidates to look after the
improvement of their county than to
brood over the disappointment of their
friends. There can be q wonderful
improvement made without any in
crease in the expenses. Let US hear
what the people have to say. Let
those who oppose the improvement
of the public roads send postals, as
we desire to discuss the whole mat.

Death Of Charles Z. Wessinger.

Death Of Charles Z. Wessinger.
MIR. Charles L. Wessinger died at
his home in the Fork last Friday
evening. He taught ssmmer school
at Pine Ridge Academy and imme-
diately after its close contracted
typhoid fever which proved fatal.
He was a young man Of good
habits and respected by all who
knew him. Death is always source
of sorrow, but this one seems pecu-
liarly sad, coming as it does just as
he had finished his college course
and was entering the threshold of
life.
When a boy, he confded to US his
ambition to be of use to his fellow
man. We encouraged him to attend
Newberry College. This he did and
graduated with the class of 1902.
The human heart goes out to those
who suffer disappointment, 80 We can
sympathize with his family in the
loss of one in whom We we're especial
ly interested. He was laid to rest
Sunday morning in the family bury
ing ground. Though his life was
cut short and his ambition perished,
his friends will kindly cherish his
memory. J. NJ. E.

Leesville, "you have the cleanest,

is safe town to send a boy to school
in.

MIR. F. W. Clifford, resident OF
Columbia, met with horrible death
at the government quarry at Csyce
in this county last Sunday morning.
He was in charge of the derrick and
the rigging getting out of fix he had
climbed out on the boom to repair it
when in some manner he slipped
and fell distance of sixty-6ve feet
landing on the rocks below. He was
dead when he was reached, his neck
and back having been broken and
every bone in his body crushed. His
body was taken to the place OF his
residence and prepared for shipment
to Vermont.

The crimson clover advertised by
T. W. Wood & Sons, seed growers
and merchants, Richmond, Va, is
the most valuable crop that the far
mer can put in. It's greatest value
lies in it's land improving qualities,
experienced farmers stating that corn
following a crimson clover crop will
be increased fully one-third in yield,
and even where the crop Of crimson
clover is cut or grazed off, it leaves
the land in very much better condi-
sion and considerably increase the
yield of crops following it. We
strongly recommend extensive seed
ing of this crop. Write to the above
address 10, further particulars con-
cerning the culture of crimson clover
and it will be cheerfully sent you.

MOVING CAUTIOUSLY.

The city council has done the prop
er thing in voting to get the views of
an expert before deciding absolutely
upon a water system for Lewistown.
The data now in the possession Of the
city engineer demonstrates that the
project of going up Spring creek for
a couple of miles and there construct
ing a pumping station with the ulti-
mate intention of making the system
an all-gravity system is not as feas-
able as it first appeared. 1t could
not be accomplished without a new
issue of bonds. which would be diff
cult to float. in addition to those al
ready placed. say nothing Of the ad-
visibility of so doing. Then, again,
the cost of continuous pumping would
be a considerable expense, both for
labor and fuel. When it comes to the
all-gravity system, as contemplated.
II is practically demonstrated that the
pressure would be reduced to fifty or
sixty pounds by the time the wate.'
reached Lewistown from the big
spring, owing to friction in the wood
en- pipe. If this is true il is a system
we do not want. as it would not prove
adequate for fire protection. One
thing seems to be settled. the water
supply will be taken from Big Spring
creek and the project seems to be
narrowing down to a pumping sta
ton neal town and a reservoir Oh the
most available elevation sufficient to
give plenty of pressure. But, as we
have said before, in a matter SO vital
to the present and future of Lewis
town and one involving so much mon
ey, the opinion of the most competent
engineer is none too good and the
money paid for his services will be
well spent.

not been won by forgery. Every time
he shouts for Imperialism he calls at
tention TO that forgery" AS every
war produces heroes so IL also pro-
duces their defamers. The above is
only a sample of the spleen that was
exhibited toward Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan and later toward General
Miles, Shafter, Roosevelt and others.
The author of the above is the same
typewriter hero who has been mean
enough to say that Roosevelt vas not
present at the capture OF San Juan
hill. This slur at General Funston Is
~occasioned from the fact that the cap
ture of Aguinaldo was effected BY
strategy-by forging Filipino papers.
Since when have not such methods
been resorted to in war? Strategy
and deception are part Of the business
and are taught in military schools.
II by such means bloodshed is avert
ed and hostilities FASTENED to a close
they are certainly commendable from
a humane standpoint. however they
may affect the fortunes of the oppos-
ing forces. General Funston is the
volunteer hero of the wal in the Phil
ippines and the brilliancy of his ex-
PLOTS and his valor will live when
his volunteer d~etractors are forgotten.

AS TO A WOODEN MILL.

Elsewhere will be found a letter
from a gentleman in Chicago making
inquiries as to the possibility and
practicability Of establishing a wool
en- mill in Lewistown. As will be seen
the writer has a complete plant which
has been but little used which he will
place on the cars free of debt, the
citizens of Lewistown to furnish q
site. put up a building and organize
a company with a working capital of
from $25 to $4,000. Here is a chance
for local capitalists to engage in
a manufacturing enterprise which, II
it could be operated successfully,
would mean a great deal to Lewis
town and Fergus county. But we
share in the views of many of our
citizens that the scheme would be
impracticable without a railroad TO
carry the products of the mill out Of
the county. 1t Is possible. however,
that we may have railroad facilities
in two or three years, or by the time
a wooden mill could be built and
equipped for business. But it is very
doubtful whether the people of Lew
istown could raise the amount desired
for a plant; possibly it could be done
with the aid of woolgrowers through
out the county.
Many of those who would be ex-
pected to contribute toward the cree
ton OF a mill would also be expected
to take stock in the company, which
would be a severe tax upon the bust
ness energy of a city the size of Lew
istown.
1t would seem that II this is a prof
table field for such an enterprise
that capital from the outside would
| seek investment. That Is what is
needed here-outside capital. Local
financial aid is not asked to induce
men 10 invest In u mines, II min
ing is generally considered very risky
business.
1t is not our purpose to discourage
this enterprise. but we do not believe
in painting a roseate picture Of some
thing that does not appeal to the bust.
ness men who must be relied upon to
furnish the financial aid in carrying
such a project through.
II there are any risks to take let
them be taken by those who have got
the means to lose. We believe the
gentleman asks too much, at least
from Lewistown at the present stage
of its growth.

That Ex-Governor Altgeld, who died
at Joliet. Illinois, last week, was an
able man no n will deny. That he
was a safe, prudent and sincere man,
free from the arts of the demagogue
can well be doubted. AS a statesman
he appealed to passion and ignorance
rather than to intelligence and mol
Grafton. His action in pardoning the
Chicago anarchists was a disgrace
full exercise of judicial power, as was
his resistance of federal authority
during the Chicago riots. Elected
of Illinois in the landslide
of 1892, his administration of the af'
fairs of the state was anything but
creditable, and he was swept from
office in 1894, being overwhelmingly
defeated. Being an orator OF high
rank, he was in great demand dur
ing Bryan's two campaigns, and had
the latter been successful in his as
pirations Altgeld would undoubtedly
have been one Of his official family.
He was an able lawyer and from his
practice and through judicious in
vestment had accumulated a compe-
tency. He had his friends, warm
and sincere, who will mourn his loss,
ever though posterity will refuse to
accord him the place they think his
public services and character deserve.
