The Lexington Dlspaich Wednesday, Oct. 5,1910. ? ? ? j G M. Harman, Editor aDd Publisher D. R. Haltiwanger, Assistant Editor. Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2,327. It is the dntv of every person in Lexington county to attend the county fair. Write for premium list. Lexington is on a boom. We are soon to have a social club, as will be seen by reference to the published notice elsewhere in this issue. And there is talk of another. The Tri-County Enterprise is to be the name of a new paper soon to be published at Batesburg. Col. John Bell Towill is to be the editor and -chief promoter. We wish the new paper abundant success. The people of the county, generally, are prosperous, and there are brighter prospects ahead. If the price of cotton remains good, and we believe that it will, our farmers will have money enough to meet their obligations and still have some to spare. A number of our subscribers are in arrears, and unless they pay up promptly we will be forced to cut their names from our list. We dislike to do this but the postal law makes it incumbent upon us to cut off all subscribers who are in arrears for twelve months. The price of cotton and produce is good, and our people have no right to complain. The summer is over and we Deed money to meet our obligations and to pay printers. Send by .mail if you are not coming to town. It was the editor's pleasure to make "a business yi3it to the hustling town of Chapin last Thursday. We found a great many farmers there selling cotton, the price on that day being , 13.40. It is really surprising to see how far the farmers haul cotton to this growing little town. Most of the farmers of the Fork are selling cotton i -at present prices. We found a great deal of sentiment in favor of a bridge at Amick's ferry. This would prove beneficial to Chapin and the other towns of the Fork and to Batesburg and Leesyille on this side of the river. We nope to see this ( bridge built at no distant day. I The merchants at Chapin have nn- j 'usually large 9tocks of merchandise j ^and all of them are doing a good j business ' The Bank of Chapin, with -J. S. Wessinger, president and J. F. j iloneycutt, cashier, is growing every j day and is filling a want long felt in , 'that Ofimmnnitv. c V Following are extracts of the new j 'road law passed at the last session of f 'the general assembly and approved a 33rd day of February, A. D. 1910: g *That all male persons between the ( ages of eighteen and fifty-five years g in tb? ?. ounty of Lexington, except those in. apable of earning a support j from beLig maimed, or any other ?] canse, in Jieu of performing, or causing to be performed, labor on thepab- g lie highways of said county fcr twelve n *lays in each yesr, may pay to the g <Jounty Treasurer of Lexington conn- j ty a commutation road tax of two dol- ? lars, to be paid at the same time, and in the same manner, as State and q county taxes, which shall be expend- a ed upon the public highways of the tj -county, and as nearly as possible in 8 the townships from which collected; ^ ^nd the County Supervisor is hereby ^ authorized to have the roads of said g county worked by contract, or by the overseer plan, or by employing superintendants of work." "The County H Treasurer shall enforce the collection of said tax by execution if not paid." H "Every person liable to the commuta- H tion tax, as provided herein, who shall H fail to pay said tax shall be required to perform twelve days' labor of ten H hours each upon the public highways jfl of Lexington county under the cirec- H tion of such person as the County Su- H pervisor may designate." fl Gov. Elect Blease I To Speak Thursday. I Gov. Elect Cole L. Blease, of New- jfl berry, will speak at the Tri-County jfl *-_ Fair at JtsatesDurg, on j nursuay, me m 20th of October, instead of Wedne?- fl day, as was announced in these col- H trains last week. Every day the pros- fl pects grow brighter for a successful ? fair at Batesburg The officers are at work in earnest and man}* new features are being planned. The entries -are piling in by the boat leads, it is q "said, and every department will be full. The attendance promises to be unusually large this year as special rates have been named by all railroads g leading to Batesburg. ? ? - c lexington County Fair. 3 The Lexington County Fair will be * larger and better than ever this year, j if we are to judge by the interest ?1- s ready manifested by our people. The 1 buildings are being repaired and the grounds beautified for the great an- s mual meeting. That the exhibits will be above the average goes without ? 1. saying; for our people have never ^ been more prosperous than now. All e; * of the crops will practically be gath- J by the time the fair opens and s, farmers will not have anything to ^ keep them at home. ? Secretary George has made arrange- j j ments for the best line of attractions j > ever seen at the county fair and there i J will be amusements enough for every- | J body. Come to the fair. j > * i v Perry-Porter. j; 3fiss Alice Perry of Batesburg, and i J Mr. H. C. Porter, of Pendleton, were J married at the Batesburer bote! on Mon- i s day morning at 9 o'clock, tn^ Rev. W. j ] T. Hundley, paster of t'- e Batesburg Baptist church, offieiatine. i c The bride is one of the p- pular young a women of Batesburg, and tbe groom | is a snecessfal traveling salesman. : ( The marriage-was quiet a smpriee -to the friends of the young people. i The fourteenth annual fair of the Lexington County Fair Association will be held this year on October 2.3, 26 and 27. The premium lists are being freely distributed throughout the county. If you have not already received one write the secretary at once. It is the duty of every citizen of the county to not only attend the fair but to have an exhibit there?something that will help to make the fair a credit to Lexington county. It matters not whether you secure a premium or not it will do you no harm and at the same time it will help to put your fair at the head of county fairs. There will be plenty of amusements for all. A carnival company, with twelve big shows, will be running in full blast both day and night, affording a world of amusement for old and young. Let everybody work to make the coming fair the best county fair ever held in the Carolinas. Biliousness is due to a disordered condition of the stomach. Chamberlain's Tablets are essentially a stomach medicine, intended especially to act on that organ; to cleanse it, strengthen it, tone and invigorate it, to regulate tne liver and to banish biliousness positively and effectually.
