To the Editor of the Dispatch: Why yes, certainly, by all means let us have good roads, better reads. But to accomplish this is going to cost money and labor. Who is going to furnish the money and who is going to furnish the labor? How much money will it take and how much labor ? How is the money to be raised ? By taxation I suppose, how else do we raise money for pub lie purposes ? I could not be at the recent meeting and am glad now that I was not, as I hear it was a failure.

With saddened hearts we announce the death of Miss E. A. Souter, which took place in Columbia last Friday. Miss Lizzie, as she was reverentially and lovingly called by the members of this community, has been a great sufferer for a number of years with a nervous affliction, and a short while ago she went to Columbia for medical treatment in the hope that she would be greatly benefited, if not entirely cured, but her hopes and tne hopes of ner many friends were in vain and death came to her relief and ended her sufferings. Iq her young days and up to the time she was compelled to give up her loved employ, she was active in church work and delighted in doing the Master's command to minister unto the sick, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, sympathize with those who sorrowed, mourn with those who mourned, but now she has gone to receive that reward which remains for the people of God and to enjdy that treasure which she laid up for herself in the city of many mansions. At the time of her death she was 75 viAA??n *-v ? n /v/s 1?1 a\ m a iv* ai r? ntftr a jcaio ui ago. not icmaiuo ncto j brought over last Saturday and in the presence of sorrowing relatives and friends were consigned to mother earth in St. Stephen's cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. J. G. Graichen. Big Fire in Columbia. A very destructive fire broke out in the Wiley building on Main street in Columbia last Sunday night. The fire is said to have originated in the store occupied by N. J. Xepapas, as a confectionary store and ice cream parlor. The store occupied by Mr. Mimnaugh as a clothing, gents' furnishing and shoe store was also destroyed. The total loss is estimated at $92,500. Delmar Locals.

His brother, Dr. A. S. Shealy, is assistant veterinary surgeon in that institution. The members of Mr. E W. Shealj's family who have been suffering with fever for several weeks, are recovering. We hope to see them out in a few days. Lloyd. September 7, 1903. Pure Water for Colum'bia. The Messrs. Huffman of the Lower Fork of this county, have made a very generous offer to the city of Columbia. They are the owners of a very valuable rock quarry which they have ceased to use as such, leaving a solid granite basis of sufficient capacity to hold enough pure water to suddIv the demand of Columbia. It is claimed that there are several bold springs of clear, pure water emptying into this reservoir or basis, and that with a small outlay of money ail surface water can be kept out of it. They offer this valuable site to the city of Columbia. "What the consideration is we know not, but one thing we do know and that is, if Columbia is ever to have an abundant supply of pure drinking water, that supply must come from the soil of Lexington county, and the sooner arrangements are made for conveying this water to Columbia, the better it will be for the health and comfort and pleasure of its j citizens. J Railroad ITegro Dead. Tom Robinson, the negro who wa9 hurt on the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad, at Ballentine in this county, on Tuesday of last week, died at the Taylor Lane hospital in Columbia, where he had been taken for treatment, last Thursday night. His left arm was cut off and his head was badly cut by the train. SPflSi x our mm /r ? 0/ ab.Vr-1 3e sold with a Positive Guarantee. >e so well treated that you will ro toe Store, JOLUMBiA, S. C.
