The t?lk about the annexation of a portion of the Dutch Fork to Richland county is beiDg revived by a few of the citizens of that section It is a rematkable coincident that in late vears this demand (?) for annex tion comes to the surface after nearly every primary and from the same source and from the same cause. The Dispatch has often exposed the fallacy of such a wild proposition and has as often clearly demonstrated the folly of such agitation that it really seems a wcnton waste of valuable time to discuss a proposition, the unwisdom of which, is so generally understood by a large majority of the people of the Fork. The greatest complaint which comes from the small dissatisfied element arises from a political consideration. The assertion that the "Fork has been discriminated against" in any particular is as baseless as the fabrication of a dream * .1. _ i ji_ j : ana rne assertion is uaruiy ufstrviu^ of even a passing notice. The home of the present Congressman from the .Seventh District is in the Fork. The brithplace of two of the three recently elected representatives are in the Fork. The Auditor, theCountv Superintendent of Education and Coroner are natives and residents of the Fork. There is certainly no die crimination against the Fork in the division of the offices. The fact of the case is that the only discrimina tion at all noticeable was the warm support given by the editor of the Carolina News to a southside candidate agaiDst one from the Folk As to the discrimination in regard to roads and their workings this com plaint is equally without foundation The complaint cosies more publicly from a prominent minister, who is a good man* and a useful citizen, the burden of whose complaint comes from the refusal of the County Comnrsioners to work a private rosd at his rfquest after the owner of the land on which the road is located declined to give the right of way to make it a public road. The same attention given the roads on the south side is given to the roads of the F irk and as to the matter of jurors a reference to the records will show that the Fork is libera'ly represented on the venires. The claim that b7 annexation to Richland the taxes of the Fork people will be reducsd, is silly. The tax levy for Lexington county is only 12 mills while that of Richland is a difference of 2? mills in favor of Lexington. No matter to what county the Fork may go the three townships will have to continue to pay j the railroad tax so that if by any j chance they should go to Richland j they will have to pay 2? mills moie ! than if they had remained in Lexington. Beside? this R:cbland is i'd round numbers 890,000 in debt, which will necessitate a higher levy in the future to meet the interest on this indebtedness or an increased assessment o- the property. Lexington is practically free of debt. But to sum the whole matter up. a vi i Mood roads, improved scnoois ana other modern luxuries cost a big pile j of money and a burdensome taxation | i to raise this money. If the people |! of the Fork are willing to-subject \ : themselves to further taxation in or- j i der to enjoy these luxuries why not j : remain in Lexington where they can ] gat them at a much reduced cost? j ! Simply going int<f Richland will not i t give them good roads and improved j ] schools and this fact is recognized j < x 1 by mII intelligent persona and tbe/e is absolutely no practical inducement for the Fork to leave Lexington from any standpoint, and wisdom, it seems to us, would suggest to our Fork friends the better policy of letting well enough alone and by an united and honest effjrt work out the destiny of our grand old county as Lexingtonians. Because Hon. W. H- MauldiD, Hon. Lewis Dorrah, Hod. A. H. Dean and perhaps a few other Honorables of Greenville, favor county courts, the Mountaineer concludes that these are the essentials to relieve the circuit courts of their congested dockets. We submit that county courts is not the proper purgative. Persons who have given only passing attention to court proceedings cannot fail to notice the waste of precious time in the management of cases. On the most flim3y pretext cases are continued from one term of court to an other until they multiply upon the dockets in such profusion that it ie only by overwork of the court that any satisfactory relief can be accom'' 1 - J TI pilSDRQ. XL lliu juu^v would proceed with tbe trial of a cause at the time set for its hearing, whether the attorneys in interest are ready cr not, much would be accomplished in expediting the work cf the coirtand clearing the dockets of their burdensome accumulation of business and a wholesome lesson ill be taught that will have a good effect in time to come. An operation was performed upon tbe leg of Prefi lent Roosevelt, at Indianapolip, a short time ago, and another at Washington on the 29:h. These operations were made necessary by an ir jury received in the' - - - " " ?t_;_ collision of a trolley car wicn ms carriage sometime ago. No attention was given tbe wound at the time as it was considered a slight one and of no importance, but inflammation set in and there are symptoms of blood poison. The President is now resting easy. The Southern Railway manage ment is certainly doing a great and important work in inducing the homeseeker to settle along its lines. This road is a very effective factor in tbe development of our beautiful South land which is so rich in natural resources and the thrift and industry seen aloDg its lines is an evidence that good results have followed its efforts in this direction. President Mitchell, of the united mine workers has made the statement, that the press reports of lawlessness in the strike region are greatly exaggerated snd that there is absolutely no need for the presence nf trr\r\r>a Henderson, the Republican Speaker of the National House of Representative?, has declined to stand for re-election. The cause assigned for this step is an alleged disagreement with the policy of the President. Cures Rheumatism and Catarrh. Medicine Sent Free.
