GOOD ROADS.
Some time ago the sand road from
town to the Fair grounds, was clayed
and built up. according to improved
methods. It has stood the test and
is a perfect success, so much so that
an energetic citizen of the White
Church neighborhood, is soliciting
subscriptions, with which to carry on
the work as far as Mr. Porth's, beyond
Peters church. This means
something. The people in that
neighborhood pass over this new
road and intend to build it on. It is
very important and the citizens along
the road should join in the good
work and either subscribe in cash or
hauling of clay with their teams.
Lexington is a large county, and
complete within itself. There is a
kinship among its people, one section
with the other, the couotv over, and
by inter marriage and removal we I
have a complete and harmonious
citizenship. This naturally calls for
considerable travel, and interests all.
With the county seat in the center,
there should go out from it to the
different sections of the county, improved
roads.
When you clay the road from here
to Leesviile, you reduce the time required
to trav<1 it, by one-balf or
more, besides the wear of vehicles
and worrying of stock. The same
way with the road from here to
Swansea and Sandy Ran, as well as
towards Bailing SpriDgs and Pelion.
It is the principal thoroughfares first
to remedy, for then the others will
follow. Let's take for example the
read from here to Reeder's store, 17
. miles off, and every inch a heavy
sand bed. Many of us have traveled
over it snd know the time consumed,
as well as the burdensome v draft.
With this road in the condition of
the road from here to the Fair
grounds, those people would be on
the road here only half the time required
at present. The necessary
clav is accessible at numerous points,
and all that is required is the money
and work, and plenty determination
on the part of the people.
Those owning lands along these
highways can sfford to chip in and
help, for the momeDt the road is completed,
prooerty along it will double
in value^ This has been proven by
the national government's experiments.
Where these roads have been
constructed property bas doubled and

County Commissioners aDd members
of the Legislature make a special levy
of, say one mill, - for the purpose of
claying and improving tbe roads, as
we are far behind other counties in
this important matter. Barnwell and
Aiken counties have made special
levys for some time, and the taxpayers
are delighted with the results
of tb? money so well Bpent.
With the ties already existing in
Lexington county, if you will give us
these improved roads and free our
ferries, there is no power or fore?*
that can divida or dismember the old
county.
After having been connected with
the Dispatch office for over fifteen
years, as foreman and assistant editor,
Mr Jas. W. Ogilvie has returned
to Conway, Horry county, S C,
where he has accepted a like position
with tbe Herald. Here he will be
with almost bis entire family. His
relations with us were pleasant &Dd
satisfactory. He has many friends
here who wish him success in his
new field of labor.
Mrs. Ogilvie is still here, but will
follow in a week or two.
The monument to Mr. N. G.
Gonzales was unveiled Tuesday, 12fcb
Dec, 1905, with very impressive
flTflrAiaou witnARfipd hv about 2.000
people. The monument is a granite
shaft, twenty-five feet high, handsomely
finished with a substantial base
with numerous inscriptions to his
\ worth and memory It is erected at
the intersection of Senate and Sumter
streets, Columbia. The oration was
delivered by Rev. Samuel M. Smith,
I) D., of that city.
Just before leaving here for Washington
last week. Congressman Lever
wa6 handed a ten dollar gold piece to
redeem at the government mint, being
told by the owner that it had
been burnt and disfigured in a fire.
When presented at the miDt it was
pronounced a courfcerfeit, and the
secret service de ectives put on the
case. We have not heard who the
owner of the coin was.
When in Columbia a few days ago
Editor Cargile of the Saluda Standard
stated that the people there are
still pushing for a railroad on to I
Greenwood on the one aide, and to
Laesville, Johnston or Wsrds on the
ether side.
All fyin Down
IH1S is a common expression
we hear on every
side. Unless there is
some organic trouble, the condition
can doubtless be remedied.
Your doctor is the best adviser.
Do not dose yourself with all
kinds of advertised remedies ?
get his opinion. More than likely
you need a concentrated fat food
to enrich your blood and tone
up the system.
Scott's Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil
is iust such a food in its best form.

It will buiid up the weakened
and wasted body when all
other foods fail to nourish. If
you are run down or emaciated,
give it a trial: it cannot hurt
| you. It is essentially the best
possible nourishment for delicate
| children and pale, anaemic girls.
We will send you a sample free.
^ p.
Be sure that this picture
in the form of a lahvl is on
the wrapper of every bottle
of Emulsion you buy.
