The Chaingang. It is announced that Supervisor Langford will place the chaingang on the roads of the Fork as eoan as possible, as he cannot work well over there in the winter months. It is hi9 ? infonrirvn uro nnrtarafatr? pnmlptp the road from Lexington out by Cbapin to the Newberry county line. "This means that the Greenville-Co* Unmbia highway will pass through Lexington; for it has heen declared that this will be equally as near a9 the other route proposed some months ago. When this road is finished the gang v will be moved into the sand bills, where much effective work will be * -done. Some times we have thought it advisable to make two squads of the gang and letithem work in different; nnxtfl r?f the ennntxr at, the same *time. Some counties do this, and while, perhaps, it would cost little more, it would be more satisfactory *to the people, as we are benind other counties in good roads. You cannot get them for nothing, and we certainly r need good roads. Glenn Granted Parole By Governor Blease. Governor Coleman L. Blease has granted a parole nntil July l?t to W. B.

Felder Columbia, March 19.?A bombshell in the dispensary situation was exploded, when today a letter was made public by Governor Blease, the nature of which letter is sensational in the extreme, involving the Atlanta attorney, who was most instrumental in prosecuting those who were charged with grafting in the especial field of co^nrinnr oxridpncp. from which the at WVVUJL \y t a v>w?> ?. , torney general did much of his work. A letter, which Gov. Biease thinks .was written by Thomas B. Felder of Atlanta, offering to frame up a $500,000 deal with H. H. Evans, former member of the State oispensary board of control was announced by Gover! nor Biease today as his ''first grain of j sand" on the dispensary investigation situation. Col.

He states also that he has many more of the same import from the famous Atlanta | attorney.
