??S5?? The Lexington Dispatch. m : G. M. Hakmax, Editor and Publisher Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, | S. C., as second class matter.' '.f ? The subscription price of the Dispatch is n a year; 50 cents fcr six months; 35 cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. Circulation, 2,816. Wednesday, February 27,1907. ?t>c7*' * y > It is a foregone conclusion that i Lexington will have two new rail roads passing through town?the one *-' +a T aaotnlla HofocKnrff A i . * ICOUiUg UV/ UbVOIUkV) JVWWUVM.g, ? , ken and Augusta ; the other north of the Augusta road leading to Saluda - and other points. Mr. Pilcher is now ^ on the line of the Saluda branch sev curing the right of way for the South Carolina Public Service Corporation ;; and has covered the territory to Priceville. He. has been returning here &X every hight so that he can report re^ suits, which we learn are entirely satisfactory?all giving the right of >*. way to the road. There is now a very V practical idea of great saving to both roads, from this point at least. It is sogfgested that these- roads build jointly, the roadbed from here to H Brookland, their*routes being parallel V' and almost identical and in close p- proximity all the way. Each road H; will lay its track, making a double trjuk on the same bed to Lexington and as far as it is feasible, and until Hie Siduda road branches off. . . "Catho ftf thp nowsnaoers of this state have been, talking a whole lot gf; about "stealing articles." "As the old fey saying goes, "the pot cannot call the kettle black.". Where is the paper/ : * outside of the great* metropolitan journals, probably, that -does not ||V "steal" stuff from the other papers? One of the papers engaged in the conv troversy, as it were, and it is an afM: fcernoon daily, certainly cannot say ^ " anything, or should not. say anything, / for it frequently takes articles that ^ are sent to other papers by their special correspondents in Washington. More than this, it copies the whole article, headlines and all. "Consis, tency thou art a jewel." Sweep the trash from before your own door before you attack another."?Columbia Evening Record. P|| The Record is correct?in the above. We never feel grieved at any of our contemporaries for appropriating any matter in our columns to their own use, and feel complimented that they ; do so with or without credit, and cer T tainly reserve the same right. ? ' Dispatches from Washington states that Senator Tillman has engagers ments to speak on the platform every |jf; night?Sunday's included?from the . close of congress on - March 4, until the opening of the next session in De: P cember. He will get for these lectures two hundred dollars a night, ' and he is at liberty to select his own subject just so long as they are of characteristic pitchfork variety that has made him famous. It is claimed that Senator Tillman's services are in greater demand than any lecturer on the American platform today. The total amount he will receive for the - ? summer's work will aggregate $43,000. A pretty good salary for the Senator. If we are to have liquor we fail to see why and where under the local ? option law there can be any objections to its features. It is thoroughly democratic. We may have prohibition or county dispensaries; either to be chosen by the people* Morally the one will be as good as the other. mi nlnoa r\t t.Ko /HflTUaTISATV A ilc 9UUUCU V1V96 VI vuv , . r J did not diacomode us in the least, /rad we are not among those weeping, sighing and longing for a . We are still among the dry est individuals in the State and glad that that unquenchable and gnawing appetite has never placed us under its influences. The quietness of our town, the past few days, noticeable especially last Saturday, when no liquor was easily gotten, and in fact, it seemed generallydry, convinced us that though prohibition did not totally prohibit, yet it did prohibit. But the "modus operandi" of the tigers were not in order and, of course, the unlawful handling of the stuii was not much in evidence. Later, under the new law, we will see what we see. v' - ? This session of Congress is the most expensive one in the history of the government, nearly two billion dollars having already been appropriated. The salaries of members have been increased fifty per cent; the pension roll has been increased fifteen million dollars, and other appropriations in like proportions. The increase?it is claimed by the members?is due to the fact that this is a progressive age and to the general prosperity of the country. Don't give up your seat on the Water Wagon. If you do, some body will get it. "Booze" is scarce in Lexington now-a-days. You can't get a drink? just when you want it. Every seat on the WATER WAGON is full, but there is still standing room ?the Lexington dispensary is closed. It is reported here that the Southern has put two new engines in service with which to haul whiskey, since prohibition was installed. Sel lers, of Columbia, is tne engineer. ; 1 Our Virginia Letter. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Like the ground* hog, I 'suppose I had better come out and see my shadow. This, of course, to my South Carolina friends. I lead a very busy life as usual. I have just finished writing three letters for daily papers. I am local reporter for one morning paper in Lynchburg, one morning and one evening paper in Roanoke. I also write for two local papers. Of course I try to push the work of the church. We now have company up here from home. Rev. P. H. E. Derrick is 16 miles away, but this is his nearest railway point. Rev. H. P. Counts is only three and one-half miles distant. Think they are both getting on well with their work. The latter has recently added a new preacher to his family. He now has seven children and his wife has six, how many do they both have? With a few exceptions, this has hoon q milr? nrinf.or A friftnd told me there were 19 days in January without frost. I was surprised. I thought there would be npthkig in the pastures for stock after the first frost. But where the grass was rich, stock did well on grass until February this season. In places the stock actually knock the snow away and munch some grass beneath. People did a lot plowing in January, but none since. I have not seen a one-horse plow up here. Most of. the plowing is done before the "crop is put out," as they call it. Litter from the barn. is broadcast, and the sod turned Under ?rith two or more horses. You see nothing of a man farming with one horse. We are in the fashion up here in that colds abound. Horace was six years old one week ago, and by request of the teacher, who is our very good friend, we started him to school, although a year too young according to Virginia law. But he was up the first day making speeches that surprised the scholars. But 'grippe got him, and he was right sick for two - ' a ?l 3 days. As tne man who aescnueu seasickness said, he had six meals a*day, three down and three up. Good wishes. ST. C. Ballentine. Rural Retreat, Va. . Death of Mrs. Eisjg. Mrs. Amanda King, the wife of Mr. Edwin Bang, who preceded her to the spirit land about a year ago, died at the home of her brother, Mr. B. D. Clark, last Friday morning in the 64th year of her age, after long illness and intense suffering. All | that tender hands, a trained nurse by j her side, and the care of an affectionate brother could do, was rendered her, but the Omnipotent, who knoweth all things best, saw fit to call her to join her devoted husband in the j realms above. She was of a retired j disposition, a good woman, beloved by all who knew her. Her remains were buried in the j Clark cemetery, about 9 miles from town on Saturday. . 2To Return Was Possible. 4 'I am going to see your father about you," said a teacher to a boy who had exhausted her patience. "If you do you'll never come back." "Why?" demanded the teacher. "Cause pa's dead."?Ex. t j A Boston X weak and sickly* ?

The time for holding of the reunion of the Confederate veterans of the State is not far distant, according to the dates usually fixed by Gen. Carwile, and it is presumed that Columbia will, as usual, be selected for the gathering in May. The legislature this year appropriated $3,500 for this event, which will enable those in charge to prepare for a meeting on a much larger scale than ever before. The citizens of Columbia, with the aid of the Chamber of Commerce, will begin their preparations as soon as the official decision that Columbia has been selected is made. ' The general assembly also appropriated $250,000 this year for the pension fund instead of $225,000 as heretofore and of this increase $5,600 is to be used for the purchase of artificial limbs.' The distribution is under the direction of the State pension board? The State, 23rd. Positive Notice.
