The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 50 cents fcr six months; 25 cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. Circulation, Wednesday, December 5,1906. ' ? Railroad Probabilities. TCIoa-nrViA-rA in t.hifl isstlfi will be found a notice of application for charter of the South Carolina Public Service Corporation, which corporation proposes?if a charter be granted?to condemn lands in many of the counties of this State, Lexington being included among them. With the six railroads which now run through Lexington and with the AugustaAiken-Columbia electric line, which 'ifc seems to be an assured fact, and with the road now applying for charter, Lexington can boast of having the greatest number of miles of railroads of any county in the State. We are glad to see these new corporations springing up, and we sincerely trust that these lines will be built. NothrV" ' " * ing helps to build a town and county Hke these corporations. They turn loose more money perhaps than do all ether corporations combined and in this wav the whole country becomes I flush with money. This being the case we think it becomes the dnty of every good citizen to lend whatever aid they can to these railroad magnates and help make the proposed corporation a success. The above corporation proposes to build a line from Charleston to Orangeburg, thence up the west side of the Congaree through the Sandy Run section of this county into Columbia. If this line is built, and why shouldn't it be, it will go through a country that needs railway facilities as bad as any in the State, and we believe our people in that portion of the county will do <3.11 in their power to aid the corporators in carrying cut their plans. Ag^in, we are reliably informed that the Southern has a line picked out which starts at New Brookland, in this county, and comes out by Lexington on through the Hollow Creek section, touching the Saluda line at Delmar, from which place it will take a direct course to Mt. Willing and on to Saluda court house, thence to Greenwood where it will connect with the Southern. This last named route will traverse one of the richest sections of the State, and will open up trade an along tne line. Again, we express the hope that these proposed lines will provfc to be more than * 'hdt air," and that it wiU not be long before the work win commence and the lines be put in operation. Leroy F. Youmans, statesman, soldier, friend, one of the most eloquent gjp? and distinguished lawyers South Carolina has ever produced, is no more. He served his State three times as attorney general; fought bravely in the Confederate army, represented the whites of South Carolina, who were prosecuted in the United States courts in the Ku-Klux trials. He lived to see the State he loved overcome every trial, and died in the confidence, love and esteem of every South Carolinian. In the death of LeRoy Youman's the State has suffered . an irreparable loss?a man is gone whose place can never be filled. 1 Congress convened Monday and already it bids fair to be interesting. | ""Teddy" is coming in for his share of censure from both sides of the house. 4/ota ox ax.

He will be buried tomorrow at St. Stephens' church at 11 a. m., where the funeral services will be held. Afterwards the Masons will use their impressive ceremony, he being < A life long member of that body.

J. Leaphart, Postmaster. n For Thin Babies Fat is of great account to a baby; that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat surrounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at,every ungentle -touch. They delight in Scott's Emulsion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample. Be sure that this picture in JrW the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of 1 V^t Emulsion you buy. 5 ft Scott Sr Bowne If Chemists L 409*4/5 Pear{ Street J(ty y ffJ-V ?
