f The Lexington Dispa ch. Entered at Jhe Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. 6. M. Harman, Editor and Publisher. The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 5& cents fcr six months; 25 cents for three montJis?invariably cash & . in advance. If, Circulation, 2,280. Wednesday, August 1,1906. r It now begins to look a9 if the cam' paign might be interesting, as probably all phases of the whiskey question may be represented. The fact is, * under existing circumstances this question is forced upon the masses and seems to be the only principal ; Issue. , We recognize the great evil of whiskey and the necessary restriction s that should be placed over its traffic, g|| with the strongest laws possible, reducing its sale as a beverage, yet it 1 should not overshadow and absorb ^ every other interest in State govern& ment. The Dispatch, it will be rej membered, advocated a separate ballot box "For Liquor or No Liquor,'9 H eleminating the question from candi1 ollrttmnflr fVl om fn Qpf ,T1 PP. UailCS OUU auvmug vuvui w ?.w eord&nee with the will of the people,^ pr- who would have felt, untrammeled J: and free to exercise that right after they had spoken. As it is, it will not Ife be a fair result, for many candidates $$?: will secure votes from individual 0 friends, averse to their views on the |f; whiskey question, but upon merits of the candidate only. Taxation should be the paramount Lv issue, since it reaches the rich and W the poor and seems to be increasing U'. and should have due consideration at H&V-.. I the hands of our legislators. BplOnr institutions and population are ^ growing, and possibly require more, but are not valuations in real estate % increasing too, and necessarily should reduce the levy and make our taxes less. ? r; It is acknowledged we all want good roads, best educational facilities, et-c., : V * but while we discuss these measures let us do so as men and neighbors, IPl' void of any feeling, but looking to the iy best interest of our county and State. ) 'h. ' Next Wednesdav at Steadman the " ^ i r: political bomb for this county will | "bust." The candidates will make their initiatory bow upon the hustings proper. The primary will be opened, J , and the candidates will tell' the dear people what they really want to do for them. SBS ??? ??????mmmmm New Suporiatoadent for Sock pi? - Quarry. Mr. Don Kimball, of Chicago, who is a practical bnsiness man and who has had many years experience in ; * running crusher plants, has arrived j BWe ana UK?U uaarjjc Ui uuo 41MUX j of Dalton & Marsh, i Evidently new blood has been pot into the enterprise. k/ \ Already several minor changes have Wen made by him, and as soon as a If few others.are made the plant will be to the standard. Mr. B. H. Libbey, who has been in charge of the plant iince the first of April, has resigned g :ind left for his home at Hopkinsville, Xy., the first of last week. The headquarters of the company, WS, which has been at Hopkinsville, Ky., will', in the very near future, be moved | here, making this a local concern mstead of a foreign corporation. The pay roll now amounts to between $1,200 and $1,500 per month, and as most of the labor employed is from this county, fully three-fourths of this ! amount will be spent with the mer- I chants of our city, which we hope | g they will appreciate. When Mr. Kimball took charge of I the plant he informed the men that he would pay off twice a month, instead of monthly, as heretofore, I thereby doingjaway with giving orders and saving the men a neat little amount each month. With the exception of about eight or ten sledgers they have a full force of men at work. Fond Branch. Doings. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Crops are damaged to a considerable extent by the continued rains. Ripening fruits share a worse condition than crops; and still it rains. Mrs. Murray Monts, arter spenamg two weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Koon, returned to her home in Columbia last Sunday. Rev. J. D. Crout, after assisting in the protracted meeting here, returned to his home at Dillion last Thursday. His sermons were strong and full of his own personal experience, which rendered them the more applicable. He is an able divine and doing a good work in the conference. A petition is being circulated for the purpose of asking that this school district be divided. I earnestly hope that the Droiect wiltsucceed, thereby placing a school within reach of all. Not such a large crowd attended the cue at Fowles* mill Saturday, although those present seemed to enjoy ijjfi -V'- v ^EiflfBP' CT 1!

It may be that cues have become too common (?). The candidates were there?some of them. Those for the legislature tooted their horns. Portunately for the dispensary they all stuck to the G. M. I. "closer than a brother." It was evident that a majority of those present were dispensaryites. C. Gilbert, July 30. This hot weather have feeling for your wife or the cook, and call at Roofs store and buy a stove or a range. They are great relief to the house keeper. Mr. H. M. Wingard, having reduced the Smoak stock of goods to minimum has closed the store at that stand and is now offering some remaining bargains to those who will call quick at his store. Our citizens receiving mail matter at Cayce, Shumpert,^Macon and Styx, will now be served by route carrier 2 from Brookland. This service commences today, August 1st. The postoffice at Ethan, formerly Steeles, near Barr, has been discontinued. The new route from Gilbert, which goes into effect today, will serve some in this section. FOR SALE?One acre lot, dwelling and shops, for cash to the highest bidder, at Ethan, S. C., on August 4, 1906, at 11 o'clock, a. m. Luther Long. 2w-39. \ The monotony of our town was changed last week into a live throng of ministers, young ladies and gentlemen in attendance at the Sunday school convention, which made it indeed pleasant for all. The fall session of the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute begins on the 19th of September. Will you be one of the happy students who will be there ? There will be a goodly number from our county there. Revs. B. D. Wessinger, of Gilbert, and Julian B. Harman, Leesville, route 4, were pleasant and welcome callers at our office Saturday. They were both in attendance at the Sunday school convention. Messrs. Scott Hendrix, T. C. Sturkie, H. L. Oswald, Sheriff P. H. Corley and Treasurer F. W. Shealy attended the 'cue at Delmar last Thursday. They enjoyed a fine dinner and was pleased with their trip. * Prof. D. W. Daniel, of Clemson College, will lecture to the teachers of the Summer school, at 8:15 o'clock, Monday evening, Auguttt 6th, in the Court house. The public is cordially invited and urgently requested to attend. On Wednesday evening, August 8th, at 8:15 o'clock, in the Court house, Prof. W.-H. Hand, formerly superintendent of the Chester Graded schools, but now of the University of South Carolina, will lecture to the teachers and the public. Those who attended the barbecue furnished by Mr. S. F. Roland at the Rock House last Saturday, report having enjoyed a fine dinner, and a pleasant time. Strange, not a single candidate was present and the voters were not bored at all, but felt free and easy. Mrs. E. B. Roof has discontinued her Summer music class and is visiting her sisters in Columbia and Augusta and will return to resume her work about 1st September, which she hopes then to open up with the brightest prospects, as quite a large number have already enrolled for the fall session. J. Walter Mitchell, Esq., is in the primary race in Richland county for master. Mr. Mitchell made an excellent judge of probate for Lexington countv. and he is thoroughly compe tent for the office of master; honest as the days are long, economical, and a man of good judgment, and if only half as popular in Richland as in Lexington he will surely reach the persimmon. Good luck to you judge. It was our pleasure Saturday to meet Mr. Don Kimball, of Chicago, who is now in charge of the rock quarry at the Tarrar spring, one mile below town. He seems to be a clever gentleman, and we are glad to have him locate here, as he says, likely, the enterprise will be a local one. He has a good force of hands, and will endeavor to put new blood and life into the rock business, and we certainly wish him success. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
