To the Editor cf the Dispatch: In the beginning of this article I wish to return many thanks to you for the manly fight ycu are making on this question. It seems, however, that you have the fight alone, and if you will allow me space I will Iry to help you a little if I car; for I believe it is but just and right to have one or more free bridges across Saluda river in our couDty. I also wish to state that I am not a candidate, and have never been one, nor do I, at present, comtemplate being one; neither do I make Lexinnrf av> P TT m n marfcof. iU^VUli v* OJL* U4J UJM? ?*vv? Bat, as an bumble citizen and taxpayer of the grand old county of L?xingtoD, let me give a few reasons why our people should vote this tax to build a free bridge across Saluda river. As is well known many of our citizens live ia what is called the Dutch Fork of our county, and if by reason of a swollen river or broken or leaking flats they cannot cross Saluda river they must necessarily incur the extra expense of travelling by rail if they should be summoned as juror or witness in a trial to be held at the court house. But seme say: 4,We need more than one free bridge." Yes we do, wo need three, and we will have them sooner or later. But let us build one first at a central location where it will benefit the greatest number of people, and then we can build the others one at a time. But we hear the question: "Why tax people who never cress Saluda river?" Why do we tax people to build bridges over local streams, who never do, and perhaps never will have oco^ion to cross mch streams ? Surely the people who would refuse to vote this tax for such a reason are either very selfish or sadly lacking in public spirit. Here we are living in the Twentieth Century using the samexceans of crossing a river, which we are necessarily compelled to cross, which our forefathers used when they first came to this country. Are we too poor to build this bridge? No, our county claims to be free of debt. Then why not have a free bridge? Simply because our citizens are, and have been, afraid of utoo much taxes." If a one mill levy for three years will build this bridge, which is so necessary for the convenience cf the travelling public and for the saving of unnecessary expenses to our citizens and county cffi cials in the transaction of business relating to the county, are we not standing in our own light when we refuse to vote such a tax ? This tax is not like railroad bonds. It will be paid at the end cf three years without interest thereon, and we will have a r.nhlic convenience of which we will all be proud. The building of this bridge would enhance the value of our property. The more conveniences we have the more valuable our property becomes. The public conveniences of a city make the difference in value of like property in the county. Again the building of this bridge would bring our people as citizens nearer together, which is certainly very desirable. As it is, with Saluda river running between the upper and ! lower portions of our county with nothing but ferries to cross on, cur people on the borders of the two side6 of the river do seem like strangers to each other. Last, 'out Dot least, we are paying a much higher tax for the ferriage cf jurors and witnesses alone, to say nothing of business and pleasure trips across the river, than were we to have several free bridges. Then let every citizen look at this matter in the right light, and cast hie vote in favor of the free bridge. If we vote it down now it will be a long time until we can get the bridge built, for county officials will be ~j Dry Goods5 | B Notions, % I Clothiny, I | Trunks, | | Valises, | 1 Hardware, 1 1 Cutlery, I I Tinware, | | Crockery ware, I (Glassware, 1 Farm Implements, B afraid to act. Tbie bridge will be built sooner or later, whether we vote a tax now or not, and i* will be built out of the taxpayers money whether they vote a tax or not; then let us be glad that we have been given the privilege of voting on this measure, and show our appreciation of this privilege, and our interest in the | on/1 TUOlforO Clf nil T dflftr I piucpoitvj auu nv?H?V v. ? . old county by voting "yes" on the 30th day of Augu3fc. "A Voter." | Chapin, S. C. j Vote Yes ancl Not No. We want our people to vote for the free bridge with their eyes open. Bather than deceive them in any way we would rather by far see | the bridge defeated, therefore we stale that there will be no bonded indebtedness; only a tax of about one mill for three years, of which the railroads, factories and other corparations will pay $4,500 to help build. To show that we are not actuated by selfish motives we state as a matter of fact that the people of the Fork can buy sugar, coffee, bacon and other groceries at Chapin, Peak, Hilton, Irmo and other places, as cheap as they can in Lexington or Columbia. Our only object in advocating the bridge is that it will eventually be a saving to the taxpayers of Lexington county. Mr. Bob Killer Dead. It is with deep sorrow that we chronicle the death of Mr. R Bob Hiller, of Hilton, in the Fork. This estimable gentleman, patriotic citizen and successful business man depart-j | ed this transitory life last Wednes- ' day and was buried at Spring Hill I turning ground Thursdav. Mr. j Hiller has been a great sufferer for j | some years with some internal disj esse and lately he went to Baltimore ; and underwent a surgical operation | at the Johns Hopkins hospital but ! only received temporary relief, and j he came home to die. j Mr. Hiller was widely known i throughout the section in which he j resided as a man of superior business ! | judgment and of unusual energy j I and enterprise. He was of a j ' kind disposition and was a friend to j those who needed friendship. Many | a hope has been made to rejoice through his kindness and bis presence has brought sunlight to many a darkened hearthstone. He will be greatly misBed by the community J and in his death Hilton has sustained j a heavy blow. A Sad Accident. To the Editor of the Dispatch: On last Friday evening, August 19, while Mr. D. Ed. Shealy was sawing for Messrs. Holley Bros, whose mill is near Saluda river, in the Ella section of this county, en inserted tooth and ring flew from the saw; the ring striking him in the abdomen and ranged inward for several inches, inflicting a terrible wound. Skillful medical and surgical aid was hastily summoned and the fatal missile that had sped sc true into his robust body, was abstracted. But the course of the steel fragment had been only too true, and on Saturday, the 20th, his life ebbed away and his bou! launched into the great eternity. He was buried at Mt. Pleasant Evangelical Lutheran church I on Sunday; an immense crowd being present to pay the last very sad rites. The church services were conducted by Revs. J. D.
