J Last Week Out. .'Tuesday morninz in company with Comity Auditor W. D. Dent, we drove to Oro ;t's Store, up on Hollow Ureek, arriving about 1 o'clock. After enjoying a good, substantial dinner, prepared and served by Mrs. Crout, we gladly met the tixpayers in social chat, etc. At the closing hoar we started out for the heme our old friend and kinsman; Mr. Enoch Swvgert's, where we are always made to feel at home. Enoch is one of the best men on Hollow Creek and his wife a most estimable woman and splendid housekeeper. The> live at home with plenty of every thins; and make you feel welcome. We are always glad to make tbi9 trip, because we enjoy spending the night with these good people. Enoch is no "slouch" of a farmer, and always succeeds in making good crops. Last year he had an exceptionally line piece of corn. While not in the corn contest, yet his yield was above the average. Fine stock and fancy poultry are among his. chief delights. At Mr. E. H. Addy's store we met the usual crowd and the auditor was kept busy until the honr of our departure for Mr. G. F. Keisler's. The people seemed anxit u^ to render unto flnAAMv fkn fViinrrc (1* Ah Trroro HflPQah's VOC9(U U11V VUtUf^o >u Ik " v? v w?Vvv- ?, and soon we were 011 the roa l again. At Mr. Keisler's the people turned ont better than usual and the returns were rapidly taken by our very efficient and accommodating auditor. Here Mr. Keisler and his gcoi ' wife are always kind to us and their thoughtful ness will never be forgotten. Saturday the trip with the auditor wa3 completed at the growing little city of Brookland on the Congaree. Brookland is holding its own. The % merchants are doing a fair business, most of the trade at Brookland com c-w \ ing from the mill population, and , there has not been a shut d?>wn iu the mills. The Brookland Bank, with that most excellent gentleman Mr. L. 8. Trofcti at its head, is growing rap - . - w T idlj and well does it deserve the patronage it is receiving. On account of illness we were forced to leave before the auditor closed his book9. I During the last few weeks we have passed over nearly every section of the county, and have had many courtesies extended us by the good people r wherever we have been, all of which is appreciated beyond expression. Our people, a9 a whole, are enjoyiDg a season of unprecedented prosperity. The county i9 in good shape?the best it has been in for several years, despite the fact that we have lost some valuable territory to our'sister county Richland. Lexington is just now coming into her own, the statements .. of the disgruntled and unrestful to the r contrary notwithstanding. We have f more miles of clayed roads than we !\ have ever had. Nearly every section a. "haa had fchp hpnpfit nf t-ip rhainorancr * axs4 the roads of our county will compare most fayorab'y with the roads of any county in South Carolina, and i this work of building roads has ju9t begun, from the fact of oar people be_ ingopposed to t.x*tion for this purpo9e until now they realize what good roads mean. On "ev? ry hand new enterprises have launched; r.ew and * better equipped school buildings have been erected; elegant homes have been buiit in town and country; the farmers have made eater progress along all lines; hundreds of lolel phones are in the homes of those re* siding in the rural districts, thus placr ing the towns and country in close communication with t-aca other. In I short, prosperity is smiling as never I before upon all our people, and there is just cause for congratulation. Let there be less kicking and more concerted action, and the county will continue to blossom as the There is no judge in Scad; CurTd.* ^n?fcwho wears the erm'ne wi h greater honor to the bench than Jucl^e Thus. S. Sease, who is presiding ever the common plea9 court n ) in session here. Well learned in the law and nacaoccoH r?f a 1 a rcra amnnnt r?f r*r\ m. I i?~ " j mon-sense, he is quick to grasp the > problems hat come before him. He Is the soul of courtesy to the members \ of the bar and other officials of the court, and he has won the love end esteem of all those with whom he has [ jcome in contact. May his shadow L jiever grow les9! f ... -. x All this talk about the chaining costing so much money is absolutely unfounded. Lexington is just now doing what other counties have been doing for years. Good roacls cost good money, ani we can't have good roads without paying for them. Nothing adds so much to a county's prcspenty as good roads. They attract new-comers and the enhancement or farm lards is the result. Give us good roads, Mr. Supervisor, and generations yet unborn will rise up and call yoi blessei! The house on \ esterday passed the bill authorizing Lexington county to pay one-third of the cost of the Corgiree bridge. The bill already passed the stnate. It is now up to Richland to act. There will be a sigh of relief when the legislature adjourns. 7 - r* Something To Eat. This is the season of the year when the ayerage housekeeper is at a Joss to know what to cook. This trouble will be alleviated if you will only go to B. M. Wingard's lor your groceries, he jarries everything that is fresh and UD-to-date and that is satisfying to your pockst-book. Go to Wingard's for something good to eat. . Statement of the Condition of the LEXINGTON SAVINGS BANK Located at Lexington S. C. At the close of business February 3rd, 1911.
