"Ta9 Lex:ng'o 1 Dispatch. W3 regret to
say, has 'given Jaway' the whole scheme,
adroitly and surreptitiously concocted
though it was. in the lace of this disclosure
we can do no less than make a fullconlession
aud dare the worst.
"Yes. Columbia is lull of sip and ambition
and is determined to ex and. Coium
bia needs room aud must have it. Columbii
is determined to be nothing less than
Greater Chicago. In order to give this city
Ae position it ought to have in next leir's
census it has been determined by the State
that the followiug additions to its territory
most be authorizid by the General Assembly
at its approachiog session:
'1. Kichland county, with all 1 hit. pait
ol Ktrahaw Ijing wett ot the Watereeriver.
' 2. Lexington county, deluding HollowCreek
and Bull Swamp tiwnshjf)*.
"3. Orangeburg countv, as far south as
the corporate limits of Branch villa.
' 4. The populous town ot Alston, in
Fairfield county.
"The annexed dift ict will put Columbia
ahead of Chicago iu area: and if (fee aggregate
population does not tqual thatol Cock
cuunty it is not our f ?ult?we have done onr
best to attract immigration to ihis favored
region. Anyhow, Columbia needs space
to stie ch out in. anl we kuow of
no regi n wmvn nss m >re space koirg
to waste than Lexington, purticolarly
that portion of the county embraced in the
town of. Lexington. We have considered
the natter r.itber carefully an 1 hive con- !
eluded that the four tracts indicated above
will suffice, with jadicioas economy, to
meet the needs of this city's growth until I
iyiO. Alter that it will probably be necessary
to take in Caarleston. Greenville and
other suburbs to acccmmoda'e our redundant
population.
' Of course we admire the vigilanne and
perspicacity of the Dispatch in so quickly ;
fathoming our intentions, and we give ifc
tu'l credit for desiring to main'ain its territorial
independent-; but it will find it useless
'o appeal to the Lexington members of
the Legislature lor assistanc 3 in its fight.
"We violate no confidence when we say that
they have secretly assured us thit. they will
give their aid to the measure. The thing
is settled, and we are already, as it were,
lhe prond possessor of the township ot I
Hollow Creek, and likewise the township j
of Ball Swamp."?Columbia Suite.
Lexington's handsome young lover 1
across the Congaree, like all young
lovers when first smitten with the j
charm9 of a com?ly and rich damsel, is
very inconsistent and consequently irresponsible
for his words and act9.
We have tried in various ways to
reconcile the many and varied utterances
of the love sick youth and must
confess that we cannot account for
them on no other ground. When he !
first made a public declaration of his
intentions to lay claim to the hand of
Lexington, in a three a column article
published in the Columbia State cf
date July 11 of last year, bis "soak
ing idea'' evidently was to only court
that part of her body "embracing
the thickly populated territory on
* both sides of the Congaree." The
words in quotations are bis own. In
his issue of July II of the same year
he admits that he did not mean what
he had previously said, but that
his idea was to "consolidate the two
counties," thus taking the entire
county to his board and lodgings and
folding her lovely form to his manly
and pulsating bosom. He now sajs
in the article quoted above, that he
did not really mean this either, but
c , ody that poition of the county "including
Hollow Creek and Bull
Swamp townships. OL! inconsistency,
thy name is the Columbia State.
But this is not his only inconsistent
untterance anent this subject.
In his issue of July 19, of last year,
in a big flaming headline, so big that
he who runneth could read, he
makes the startling announcement
that seme vague and indefinite
person said "If I had money I would
slap it in Columbia dirt tomorrow."
Further down in the same article he
chronicles a deal in real estate in which
"Mr. W. J. KeenaD, the progressive
naval stores dealer," of Columbia,
M f ? / *V\ t U A AA trt ^ A A P 4 V* r\ 1 n IA I
puicuasfu iJLUixi tuo estate ui iuc iauc
Senator T. J. Robertson, another resident
of Columbia, "a tract of 4,000
acres for ?12,000," and adder "Just to
show bow much real estate has advanced,
it is stated that the late Senator
Rjbertson at one time tiied to
sell the property for ?6,000, and
could not." Not one line or word
in that article, except in a studied
confusion of words calculated to mislead
and mystify the reader, as to
the location cf the land. Oo the
other hind, the whole tenor of the
article was to lead the reader to
the conclusion that the land was
situated in Richland county. The
facts are, however, that the tract j
lies some miles from Columbia acd '
in Lexington county. Our very j
consistent neighbor now says that he j
kaow8 ''of no region which has more
space going to waste than LexingtoD."
How, neighbor, can land
doubling in value in so short a time,
and this is Dot aD isolated case
either, be going to wasti? It
is svlf evident that he is abso- j
. lately wrong in one or the other
* . of Lis statements, and as the first '
i
is a matter of record it must stand as !
a convincing contradiction of the last !
which is but the individual assertion
of the editor unsupported by either !
reason, facts or figures and rnust^ !
then fore, be rej cted as unworthy of
b -lief.
We could go on and show many
ei^tmagn?aMPB?ajwmi
otber inconeis'eneies in the position
of the Siat but the above w ill annw<t
our purpose.
I' in not so passing straDge afte
all when it is remembered the S;aU
first came wooing L*xinglor, ths 1
Uucle Dispatch "caught on" to the
"adroitly concocted schemes" of tht
lover of his adorable neice. It is
the invaiiible custom cf the love sick
swain to take his charmer upon
his knee and tell her all his plans
and hopes and the rule was not an
exception in this case, and of couise
like a dutiful neice, she repeated
what was told her. In those days
when love was strong and the llams
burned brightly Lexington wasasgaj
as a laik and all day she waibbled tc
herself
"The State went a courtiug;. he did court.
Whom who, whom who;
With stocks and bonds by his side,
Whom who. whom who;
He rode no t > Miss Lexiug?ou's house.
And sa\R Miss Lexington w 11 you m:-try me
Whom wLo. whom who.
Sir, I cannot answer that without consulting
Uncle Dispatch.
Whom who, whom who;
Uncle Dispatch lan^h;d and shook his fa'
sides
To think biR niece wou'd be a bride.
Whom who, whom who."
Bat things are changed now sines
by bis own confession he took
strange girls upon his knee and to!c
them more than he did her. He ad
raits that be is enchanted with tht
faded charms of that old mait
Orangeburg; that the brilliant co
quet Fairfield, has hypnotized hitr
and that he is stuck ou the staid and
matronly K nbaw?in fact he doesn'i
know where he is at. L xington is
not of the Mormon fairh. She does
not believe in the doctrine of a mul
l ? CL. J V
lipilCliy 01 wives. oue uuu i< waui
any Brigham Roberts monkey'ng ic
hers. She wants his whole heart 01
noDe at all. He must give up the
other gills or give up Lexington
Giy deceiver thy name is Gonzales!
So good bye my lover, good bye.
It will be remembered that just
prior to and during th# Neal investi
gation the air was thick with rumors
detrimental to the character of Col
W. A.. Neal, late Superintendent oi
the State Penitentiary. It was
openly charged that he was a de
falter, in an amount ranging from
$2,000 to $20,000 and - bis political
enemies, that is men not of bis household
of faith in politics, spared not his
character, but hounded him with
more tenacity of purpose than a dog
does a deer. Every little incident was
magnified into a mountain. Ever
men were brought forward to prove
that in instances corn that was
gathered did not hold out and the
loss was unaccounted for but; this, as
in many other similar charges di J, fell
through when it was developed thai
the corn was never measured, bul
the "pile" was estimated at so manj
bushels, and the foreman of a farm
testified that he told the directors at
the time that the "pile" would not
pan out the "estimated" number oi
bushels.
It would also doubtless be remembered
that Col. Neal all along claim
ed that he was due the State on);
about $3,000, as Superintendent oi
the Penitentiary, and that he was
ready to pay this amount over-to the
State Treasurer at any time, which
was refused, uo doubt properly during
the progress of the investigation.
After one of the most thorough,
searching and partial investigations
against the accused, the committee,
on the authority of Attorney General
Bellinger, found Od. Neal's short
age, if shortage it was, onlj
amounted to $2,812.41, which has
been paid into the State Treasury
and the State of South Carolina has
not lost one red cent by Col. Neal.
Afcer giving Governor MeSwee
ney taffy all summer, the Columbia
State now severely, but not harshly,
criticises him because he declined tc
recommend the passage of a local
option bill by the General Assembly
It now saj 8 that "Governor JleS wee
ney has proved unequal to his grea'
opportunity. The weakest part of
his weak message is that which relates
to the liquor question." This is
the reason of our neighbors changed
opinion of the mental strength of
Gov. McSweeney. We extend our
condolence to our distressed neighbor
at its expressed chagrin over its
failure to prevail upon the Governor
to do something it wished him to do
Governor McSweeney's message
was read in both branches of the
Legislature yesterday. The Colum
bia State is of the opinion that it is
a weak paper, while the Columbia
Evening Record expresses itself as
being highly delighted with it. Hav
ing jostseen it this morning we
have not had sufficient time to give
it th it consideration to arrive at ar
intelligent concluiioD as to its meril
a d force.

| Did you ever no^ce the man in the

you that the lives of every living person
on a train frequently depend on the pronipt>
ness and intelligence with which he moves
the switch levers under his control ?
If men could only realize how small a
thing may act at the critical instant to
switch them from a dangerous track on to
one of perfect safety, the yearly deaths
from lung diseases would be less by many
i thousands.

! m , the officers and members of the
1 Jr. Order af United American Mechanic?,
met in Witt's Hall for the
purpose of publicly installing the
' officers for the present term and
1 although it beiDg so very cold, there
' was a very good attendance. The
' installing officer, brother M. H. Witt,

the installation was a perfect suc5
cess. The following officers were
installed: John A. Smith, Councilor;
' E. B. Bledsoe, Vice-Councilor; D. J.
Shumpert, Recording Secretary; T.
A. Ballard, A. R. S.; George M.

' W. C Addy, Outside Sentinel; C. T.
Weed, Jr., Past Councilor; and D. J.
Shumpert, Representative to State
' Council, C. T. Weed, Alternate, at
the conclusion of which the speaking
was opened by a short, but interesting
speech by brother John A.
Smith, followed by brother D. J.

Legislature in Session.
The General Assembly of the
State cf S_mth C ?roliua met in annual
session in Columbia yesterday.
In the House the only matteis of
public iuterest transacted was tLe
reading of the Governor's message
and providing for a commission to
investigate the State dispensary
affairs.
The death of the late Governor
Elleibe was officially announced in
Senate by Lieutenant Governor Scarborough
as follow.':
' Since the last meeting of this
honorable body the chief executive
has been called away and the pre- J
siding officer of this body has been
called upon to assume the high func
tions of Governor of the sovereign
State of South Cirolitia, which we
all love. I3y virtue (f your kindness
in eh cting me president pro tem I
have been called upon to assume the
office of Lieutenant Governor, which
I will endeavor to fill to the best of
my ability."
Ex-Governor John C. Sheppard
was then elected President pro tem
of the Senate.
Senator Appelt introduced his bill
providing for the submission to the
people of a vote upon the question of
dispensary, prohibition or high
license. The bill is the same which
was published in The State a short
while ago and is very similar to the
measure which Senator Appelt advocated
at the last session.
The reading of the Governor's
message and providing for a j <iut
commission to investigate the affiirs
of the State dispensary were the
only other measure of public intereste3
acted upon.
