To the E;litor of the Dispatch: Pieaso allow me, as one of the 1 ~ t i - , representatives or juexingiuu couuij I in the recent General Assembly, to i make a brief statement as to tbe j action of Lexington's Itepresenta| tivfs in the passage of the commuta| tion road tax. Under a recent decis! ion of our Supreme Court respect I leg tue enactment; 01 special in**, ; the counties are prohibited to some j extent from makiDg special approi priations for special counties, hence i j the inability of Lexington's Repre| sentatives to fix the commutation as I thev desired and expressed and i voted tor. In the appropriation bill as prej sr-nted by the ways and means com mitiee there are always changes i suggested and made as to different | items of appropriations. The Senate j and House seldom agree upon appro| priations. In cases of disagreement i a committee of conference is appointed by the Speaker, consisting of three members and by the President of the Senate, consisting of two Senators, who take the matter of disagreement between the two bodies into consideration and report their conclusion. Their report can be rejected by either body or accepted by both which ends it. But it generally results in a re jection of the conference committee's report by the one body or the other. In this event a committee of free conference is appointed, consisting of three Senators and three members of the House, the appointment being made by the presiding officers of the respective bodies. That free conference committee's report is accepted as final, regardless of how much it may be opposed by the representatives of 3ny particular county, so you that tree Senators and three members of the House reaily determine the matter of appropriations ulo?jg certain lines and we, the Representatives of Lexington county, were powerless to prevent the reduction of the commutation tax. If Mr. Supervisor Craps intended his article in the last issue of the Dispatch as a censure, he displays a want of information as to the method of legisla' ticu. I feel quite sure he would not ; have so done, if he had known that j our delegation voted against the i commutation reduction. I fully apI preciate the Supervisor's desire for 1 the improvement of our highways, j The maintenance of which is a matter j of vital importance to every citizen | of the county, and should receive | our best thought and judgment as to bow best they may be improved and maintained.

''Is it fair to the people of the | south," asked Senator McLaurin, ; ' just as they are beginning to prosper in manufacturing and commercial enterprises, after long years of trouble and privation, to tear down and crush their new enterprises on the assumption that such a ruinous policy is necessary in order to keep I out the Chinese when, in point of fact it is not at all necessary and the fthinPrfG prf! heinor kent out bv the I w ?- ? ?? ? o ?r - ^ existing law?

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Please allow me to answer the numerous questions about the new ferry being opened. I have been trying for nve months to get the Commissioners to do some work on the road and dig the river banks down but only have gok promises. When the gang was camped on the road in a half mile of the river they were too hurried to take time to do it. Afterwards when the fan<? was o o in eight miles of the work, it was a long ways to go to do a small amount of work. They have moved on and now they are more than twenty miles from the work. With two bridges ready to fall down. They say it will be impossible to reach here before the first of May.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: In the midst of life we are in death says some one; and how true this sentiojent. The little quite, peaceful village of Irene, situated on the babbling waters of one of Lexington's sparkliDg streams, was enjoying peace, quietness and pienty when suddenly she was made to mourn for the death of one of her noble- son's and true citizens. Mr. D. P. Burnett, familiarly know as "Uncle Dave,v who had been in declining health for some time, but or late seemed to be enjoying uimselr. Oi Tuesday morning the 8th, he rode out in his wagon in company with Mr. Dan McElwaney and Z*k Alewine, who were all chatting, and '-"Uncle Dave" in his usual jovial way, when suddenly he fell forward on the dash board of the wagon and expired instantly. Mr. Burnett was born in Edgefield county and about the age of ten moved to Lexington where he has made his home. Had he lived till the 6ih of May next he would have been sixty-four jears old. a May the 8th, 1859, he married Miss Luvia Boatwright with whom he lived quietly for some time and to this happy union wera born two children, one son and a daughter. His wife being called to the spirit land, he married a Miss Emma i Jones, Nov. 19, 1805. To this happy* union were born seven children, six daughters and one son, of this number four are living, all of whom ; are bright, intelligent and industri! ous children. God seeing fit to take | hi3 bloved helpmate from him again, I be was married the third lime to Mrs. ! S E Husk, widow of Mr. L. H.Husk, who survives him. Uncle Dave was one of South Carolina's loyal patriots and brave soldiers who fought for a Lost Cause, i He was a volunteer in Capt. Mance Guoter's company, 2(Lh regiment, i Uncle Dave was a true citizen and l-innosf or./'i irnrioht mrm ft eonse , _ I crated Christian, a faithful church | member. He was always jovial, I pleasant, kind and entertaining, and j no one could have the k,blues" and stay about him. He was a kind husI band, a faithful father, one who loved | God and tried to obey the golden [ rule. His remains were interred in the Mt. Ebal Baptist church in Aiken county, Bev. Macom Gunter conducting the memorial service, from Mark 13:37. Thus was laid away all that was mortal of Mr. D. P. Burnett to await the resurrection morn.
