Tht Lexington Dispatch - Wednesday, Aug. 3,1910. G SL Habxajt, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwanger, Assistant Editor. i Sabered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. O., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.327. Most Work The Roads. Attention is directed to the official aaoticeof the county supervisor, in Which road overseers are requested to 'work their respective sections without delay. The law is plain ou this point. Every overseer is bound to work-the read a certain number of <daysin the year, and it is the supervisor's duty to see that the law in this particular is not violated. It has been reported to the supervisor that some trf the overseers in the county nave ' feot carried out the law, and it is not wnlikely that several prosecutions will be instituted, unless the roads are Crorked at once. It is to be regretted that overseers are so careless in the ^Bschsrge oftheir duty. There is absolutely no excuse for it, especially at this season of the year when the crops have all been la?d-by. It is impossible for the chaing mg to work all of the roads and it is foolish to expect it. Overseers can help keep np the roads, even though their number of hands be&mited. Let every overseer in the county order ont the hands and Crock the roads as-soon as possible. * raniitdaf|>c mwrii i mu vauuAwuftvv* * V* All candidates and prospective candidates are hereby notified that the time for filing pledges and paying campaign assessments will expire on Tuesday, August 9, at 12 o'clock noon.
