To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Still it rains. Gen. Green is making
rapid headway amoDg the farmers.
Some of our Brookland farmers
have become so discouraged with the
grass in their cotton that they have
ploughed up the cotton and made
preparation for corn and peas.
The election of officers for the
town will take place Saturday, May
the 27th. This is always quite an
interesting raee considering the fact
that the Intendant receives nothing
save the honor and glory during his
term of office. It is surprising to
see the interest manifested by some,
an outsider would ccme to the conclusion
that a handsome salary was
attached to the office.
This race is more interesting than
any that has been held since our
town was chartered; a forecast could
not be made as all the candidates are
popular and have many supporters.
The race for Iotendant seems to be
the most eagerly sought for. Mr.
Brice McCombs is a candidate for
re-election, being opposed by one of
oar most conservative and best
citizens, Mr. J. S. Gunnell. More
than one hundred and fifty citizens
have registered and the race bids
fair to be a close snd interesting one.
Dr. Frank Geiger has moved in
his handsome new heme on Shuler
street.
R. F. Williams has about completed
hjs brick stores. Dr. F. L
Sandel has just completed three
beautiful brick stores and they are
now occupied by the Doctor as an
office and drug store, O. N. Denham
groceries, and S. A. Moak groceries.
It is wonderful to see the rapid
improvements since the fire of March
the 4th. It can b8 safely said that
within the next sixty days, one could
scarcely realize that this town had
ever suffered from so great a loss
that it recently sustained. This entfirnriRinpr
snirit exercised bv our
w" C n -? -?r
citizens deserves special mention and
proves to the world that our
hopes in the future of Brookland have
not been blighted from the effects of
tire, but that we are still in the line
of progress and are moving steadily
forward.
M. H. Witt and W. C. Oottingham
have returned from Beaufort at
which place they were delegates to
the grand lodge of K of P. They
reported a pleasant time.
Our school under the efficient
management of Mrs. Pauline Roberts,
will close within the next two weeks.
We are now enjoying a tent revival
conducted by Mr. Anderson. Quite
a number are taking an interest in
the services ^nd great results may
be expected during bis stay here.
Some of our base ball fans who
have had such high fevers over the
Gamecocks of Columbia have cooled
down, and are now securing material
to give the boys a challenge at some
off day when convenience permits.

removed and at this writing is doing
very well.

for alderman, received a vote at his
home in advance of the election. No
wonder he is so confident.
J. C. Kirby, overseer in the weaving
room of the Columbia Duck mill,
met with a very painful accident
while turning off the current of
eleetricty in bis room. Mr. Hirby's
arm was badly burned from the
current, and while it is painful, he
is able to be out.
E. L- Shepherd has been operated

Commissioner should they succeed

of the people. Promises that

light picnic at the lake. The lake is
naturally one of the loveliest spots in
the country, but on this evening it
was surpassingly lovely. The silvery
moon lent her enticing charms and
these together with the rippling
waters, handsome beaux and lovely
maids transformed this charming
resort into a fairy garden.
The hospitable home of Mr. and
Mrs. L. C. Smith, who live on the
banks of the lake, was thrown open
and everything possible was done for
the enjoyment of the young folks.
Games were played, delightful music
listened to and many a charming
tete-a-tete was seen being held by
the more sentimental ones.

To Buy the Bridge.
Columbia Evening Record 23 inst.
"The card iD The Record yesterday
afternoon hit the weak spot in
the growth of this city," said a prGm
i i J i i _ J m. j
meet mercuaoc uere touuy. l lib cam
referred to called attention to the
fact that the train schedules from
the Piedmont and the toll bridges
across the Congaree and Broad seriously
hampered the growth of the
city. It has attracted a great deal
of attention and is a matter for considerable
discussion this morning by
members of the chamber of commerce
and business men generally.
"There is but one way out of it,"
said the merchant. "Columbia must
buy the bridge and arrange for the
schedules. The latter is comparatively
easy and steps are now being
taken looking toward this end; but
the buying of the bridge is a different
proposition. I see only one way.
i Agitate the matter in the press of
the city until everybody realizes that
the bridge must be owned by the
public."
The proposition advanced in Columbia
calls for the purchase of the
bridge by the counties of Lexington
and Richland, with Columbia paying
one-third of the cost. This would

or the levying of a tax of one half
mill for one year, bat the returns
would more than justify the money
spent. The owners or lessees of the
bridge would be perfectly willing to
sell, and have often said so, but they
wish a return for their money spent,
which is perfectly jastifiible. The
proposition advanced by a citizen in
The Record yesterday may be expected
to bring forth results and
there will be something besides idle
talk behind the proposition this time.
The rivalry between the Furman
and Newberry College base ball
teams came near endiDg in bloodshed
at Newberry recently. If not a due
regard for the peace of the community
would be sufficient inducement
for college presidents to forbid intercollegiate
atheletics, then the love of
riort saoraHnAaa r?f human life t
and the worldly and spiritual well being
of the young men placed under
their instruction and training should
induce them to do so.

Koof Park has lately been much

and it is destined to become a popular

to the grounds by beautifying
them and placing seats and
benches in shady nooks and cool corners.
Such a place would be an attraction
to Lexington and an appeciative
pleasure to its citizens.
