' ' W&i^Better Means of ~ rTijhjiliiiiii iwifii With Countj Seat. Bdiior The Dispatch-News; - Last eight I dreamed that the ferries ajcross Saluda River.had been dis\ continued and abandoned and there was iK- way to get to Lexington except tc detour by Columbia. Then I saw Sim Teller in a Curtiss plane coming ove: to serve jury summonses and W ;ii i^eDt xn anotner to assetss uui property, and last, but not least, Bob Leaphart *n another to collect taxes. "Phis sight so astonished me that I ixwoke anc found it only a dream. I lay there and thought about the poor .moans we have to get to our county jseat and T pondered if it would ever come to this. Our people are not hard to please, they sure long-suffering and patient; but ev*?n patiencp will wear out some. times. We are cut off over here In a little strip of -country that is as thrifty and progressive and happy as any other portion of Lexington county, except we have no convenient way of gettig to our county seat. We are made to feel that Lexington no longer wants us, owing to the kind of treatment we get; and it seems to - us that the balance of the county are perfectly unconcerned, as all knew that we afe within the eight male-limit and therefore cannot very * well help ourselves.

Often we should like to go to our county seat on business and sometimes on pleasure, but we cannot. Often the ferry service is out of commission, and when it can be used it is unsafe and unsatisfactory. Taxation without something in return for it is unjust. We pay our taxes and we feel that we should have something for it. We have.only the poorest roads, and not to give us a hririp-o looks verv much like fellow ship on the other side of Saluda is not desired. I have noticed for quite a time when the people of Lexington Court House town and neighborhood desire any, thing they usually get it. The voters of Lexington county usually give the residents of the Jlown of Lexington their full share of the offices, and it stands to reason that we should look to them wlN|n we wish anything done. Now, we ask our Court House friends'to get busy and help us over CoiistipatkOtL Most laxatives and cathartics afford only temporary relief and should be used only for that purpose.
