of Your Valued Pat
Government Aid to
Improve Highways.
We bave been an earnest advocate
of thegdoctrine that the National Government
should contribute toward
building and maintaining the pnblic
highways both through the columns
of the Dispatch^ in the days that
have gone by and more recently elsewhere.
The National Government annually
for years past, has appropriated millions
of dollars to improve the iiyers
and harbors of this great country of
ours, many of which it has never
used and in all human probability
never will use; and since this government
has been an organized government,
it has never nntil recently contributed
one cent, if our memory is
not at fault, toward the building and 1
maintenance of the pubiic highways i
of the country. For years and years,
the government has us^d our public
roads as star routes and later on as
both star routes and free rural routes,
claiming and exercising the right of
way over them to the interuption many
times to both "travel and traffic, and
in all these years the counties of the
country have had to bear the burden
of their maintenance.
There is neither jastice or equity
in thi9 stingy policy of the National
Government. The Government is
jast as much, and if anything morie,
doty bound to contribute its share of
the cost of maintaining our public
roads, as it is in beariDg all the expense
of improving our rivers .and
harbors, because the benefits accruing
from good roads are greater to the
government and the people than rivers
and harbors are and the former
serves ?> greater number of people,
and are more valuable to the govern-:"
mentin the transportation of mail
matter. We are glad to fcnow that
the Intering wedge has been driven
home and we trust that Congress can
see its way clear to make a large appropriation
in each State for roads
and bridges.
The Parcels Post,
**his new system for the transportation
of parcels a long felt want, in
the commercial world. The attractive
feature about it is its cheapness
and efficiency of service, both of
which appeals to the business judgment
of both the seller and buyer
alike, and they both will surely make
this system a popular medium for the
quick transaction of business.
The law went into effect the 1st. of
January of this year, and while not
many parcels were handled at the local
office and no untoward incident
marked its inauguration, yet each
day since then the number of pack- .
ages handled have been largely on
the increase and the outlook is by the
end cf the month, Postmaster Leap
hart and hi9 assistant, Julius Corley,
will have their hands full handling
packages in addition to the regular
mail matter which comes to the Lexington
ofMee five times a day.
John Blake DeadJohn
Blake the young printer, who
was shot at the passenger depot of the
Seaboard Air Lino in Columbia on
Christmas Eve by a Mr. Parker, died i
at Knowlion's Infirmary last Satur- J
day. The interment was at Ehiv.vood !
Cemetery, Mr. Blake at one time
worked on the Dispatch for about
eleven mouths and as a rule we 'uuncl
him to be a (mint, industrious vonntr
man am"! by ins gentlemanly deportment
during his sojourn in Lexington
he made many friends. A
large number-of friends at leaded his
remains to the grave to pay the last
sad rites to his memory. The flora!
tributes were numerous and beautiful.
Br. Mathias 111.
We regret to learn that Dr. Homer
Mathias, son of Mr. L. S. Mathias, ,is
critically at his home at Irmo with typhoid
fever. The young man ha-* just
entered'upon the practice of his profession,
having recently been licensed to
do so. We have not heard from him
since Monday and know not whether
his condition has changed for 'he hotter
or the worse.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINA TIOE.
Lexington Farmer Shot from
Ambush?Dick Marley
Charged with Crime.
Lexington, January 2.?Special:
Dick Harley a white man about 50
years of age was lodged in jail last
night by Sheriff Sim J. Miller, charged
with the attempted assassination
on Tuesday evening about dark of
Va9tine Jefcoat, a farmer about the
same age. Harley wa9 captured several
miles from his home by the
Sheriff yesterday afternoon.
Oa Tuesday evening, just about
good dusk, Mr. Jefcoat near his home,
was fired upon by someone who was
hiding behind a tree a short distance
away. About 35 shot, a mixed load,
struck Mr. Jefcoat in the back, caus_
ing painful, but not necessary dangerous
wounds.
Mr. Jefecat says that rio ar, once i
recognized hi9 assailant as "Dick" !
Harley, and the son of Jefooat went
before Magistrate U. W. Jefccat at Swansea
yesterday morning and immediately
swore out the warrant, it
being issued on "information and belief."
The two men are near neighbors,
living only about a mile from each
other in the lower section of the
county and have been at outs for
some time. The trouble originated, it
is said, from the fact that Harley has
sworn out a warrant for Jefcoat,
charging living in adultery. The preliminary
was held before Magistrate
0. R. Riah at Pelion, on Tuesday, and
the charges were dismissed. On the
way home from the trial, it is said
that Harley made threats against Jefcoat,
and wanted to shoot him on the
highway. He was prevailed upon not
to carry oftt his threat; bat is said to
have borrowed a gun with which to
shoot Jefcoat.
Harley will not discuss the case.
It is said that he and his wife have
not been living together for several
months, and that he charges Jefcoat
with the alienation of his wife's af fections.
The trial will be held during the
coming term of the Court of General
Sessions, which convenes on the second
Monday in January.?News and ?
Courier.
Mr. Smith Has Resigned.
Wfl trnlv rAflrrftt to ho informal that
Mr. R. D. Smith, Cashier of the Bank
of Western Carolina has resigned his
position and will leave Lexington.
Mr. Smith is a sound business young
man and under his able and efficient
management the business of the
branch bank at this place has grown
to such an extent as to pass beyond
the capacity of one man to properly
attend to. He asked for an assistant
which was denied him and his resignation
followed. He is succeeded by
a Mr. Tyler of Aiken, who comes to
us as an experienced financier and a
gentleman of pleasing personality,
courteous and accommodating.
