Wednesday, July 5,1305.
From time to time in the recent
past the Dispatch has claimed that
Lexington was one of the prettiest
little villages in the State. The
scenery hereabouts is simply beautiful
in its grandeau. Its residences
and Btores and public buildings are
/ among the handsomest and most
modern in arrangement and convenience;
its fields and farms the most
fertile and the most productive; its
water the puriest and its climate the
healthiest. Ia 6hort all the beauty
and prosperity which marks the progress
of towns does not outrival the
charms and prosperity of Lexington.
As proof of this claim we shall from
time to time, beginning with. this
number, give photographic views of
the. town and county of Lexington.
"^^ ^SFhis week we give two scenes?one
showing the county jail and the
other Lower Main street, looking
east.
'
We are of the opinion that the
Act known as the "Brioe dispensary
bill" is unconstitutional in that it
provides for special legislation which
is clearly forbidden by the Coneitu.
tion. Before the adoption of the
present constitution, each county
had a law unto itself and a "Phila- ,
delphia lawyer" could not keep up
with the laws cf South Carolina. To j
prevent this nuisance, and to make
each and every law equally applicable
in one county as another the
framers of the present organic law
wisely made provisions against spe
oial legislation.
If the so-called Prohibitionist and
high lio6Q8e and blind tiger men,
who seemingly have formed an alliance
to wipe oat the dispensary system
of controlling the sale of whiskey,
would petition the Governor to
order a State election in so "cff
year" to extract this thorn in our
body politics, they might accomplish
something, otherwise they cannot.
In Horry county, this State, there
is a section of country known as
"Dead Stretch" which no negro is
allowed to enter. When the grass
was rampant, H. D. Grainger, a local
Baptist preacher hired two negroes
to help him work. Friday morning
of last week, as he was plowing in
his field, he was shot from ambush
and killed. But 6ince, a white man
and woman have been arrested 01
strong circumstantial evidence.
Mr. John Hay, one of the most
prominent men of the bonr and
secretarv of State in President Koose
ell cabinet, died on July lei. He
was a safe Bound and conservative
Statesman and a diplomat of aonenal
brilliancy.
The Colombia base ball franchise
has fallen into new bands and we hope
that the team will be greatly strengthened
thereby.

A Fatal Accident.
While ridiDg to his work last
Wednesday afternoon Edgar, the son
of Mr. J. J. Long, who resides about
twelve miles above this place, was
riding a young mule. The mule became
frightened at something and
dashed c-ff throwing young Mr. Long.
As he fell his foot became entangled
in the traces and dragged him from
TV/r? nla/ia Mr YVrtl t.PT*
mi* O jjmvu UV AU.*> *?
Shealy's place, a distance of fully a
mile and a fourth, and sustained injuries
from which he died. When
the mule finally stopped at Mr.
Shealy's, and the young man wss
reached and released from the trace
chains by Mrs. Shealy, he wa9 dead,
being terribly bruised. Ke was
buried Thursday at Mfc. Pleasant
church. Mr. Long is said to have
been a young man of about seventeen
years of age of exceptionally
bright promises, industrious habits
and quiet and unassuming manners
and bis untimely and tragic death
has cast a gloom over the community
in which he resided. We deeply
sympathise with the family in this
hour of their troubles.

at a convention recently held iD

was circulated for signatures ssking
Senator Efird and Representatives
Hutto, EptiDg and Dr. Etberedge to
use their good offices in an effort to
protest against any more barbecues
to be given in this county. Iq the

Mr. W. Q Jackson, a prominent
citizen of the Edisto section, was in
town Monday. Mr. Jackson is enthused
over the new county project
and thinks that he has got it and gone,
but we will never believe it until
the people speak, besides we think
too much of him to allow him to

The meeting of tbe carriers of the
Rural Free Delivery in this county
was not largely attended last Saturday
afternoon but nevertheless tbe
meeting was very interesting to those
who were present. Rev. M. J. Kjzer
was elected the delegate of the State
convention which met in Columbia
on the 3rd and 4th July.
While out on the road aDd resting
up at Pomari8, the wife of Capt. Butler,
the well known and popular representative
of F. E. Block, of Atlanta,
Ga, died rather unexpectedly in that
city one day last week. A sad
feature connected with the death of
this estimable lady was that Capfc.
Butler could not be reached by wire
until some time after the death of
his wife. We all sympathize with
him in the greatest of all losses.
