While in Lexington last Saturday
we strolled over town and was surprised
to notice the signs ot improvement
on every side. Lexington is
not the sleepy little "Pompey Town"
of old, but a flourishing little city
that is forging to the front in the
business world. Carolina News.
Our correspondents must have felt
for us this W6ek in our attempt to
handle the Tillman case and have
surrendered their usual space to it.
We appreciate this thoughtfulness
on their part but we miss them from
our columns and hope they will resume
their weekly visits, when the
trouble rolls by.

taken hold of the business men of
the town. A desire to make improvement
on their property has taken
position of them and we predict that
in the near future Lexington will
present a far different appearance
than it now does.

less, some get nothing fo:<
their money. You get your

The solution of the so-called negro
problem is still giving some people
considerable anxiety, particular loud
mouth politicians and a few negroes
with some pretentions to education
and more so to hold office. If the
South and negroes were left alone
there would be no negro problem to
be solved. The native southerner
and the negro can settle the race
distinctions in a manner satisfactory
to- all parties concerned.
Russia has notified Bulgaria, that
Bhe will not help her in case she declares
war with Turkey. The note
addressed to the Bulgarian Government
by Russia is a positive recognition
of the Turkey as the premier
power in the Balkans to suppress a
rebellion in her own territory as she
thinks best.
The Sulton has expressed a wish
iihat the American war vessels be
withdrown from Turkish waters but
t is not likely that his wish will be
'ratified as conditions are two uncertain
and dagereous to put in
jeopardy the life and property of
imerican citizens which would be
the case without the presence of the
war vessels.
