p-The Lexington Dispatch. P G. M. Harman, Editor and Publisher Em. ? . ? ?1 _ Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. ......? The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 50 cents fcr six months; 25 cents for three months?invariably cash S in advance. Circulation, 2,316. ? Wednesday, March 20.1907. Bp| . g|pj Plenty vacant seats on the water?f . "wagon now?the Lexington Dispensary is open. I I We don't hear of any more whiskey ! being captured in and around Lexington. Have the blind-tigers closed their "blinds?" j Yes, what Lexington county mostly j needs is better roads. She is far be: hind her sister counties in this re- ! spect.

Th^ Dutch Fork of Lexington county is one of the most prosperous agricultural sections of South Carolina, but people living there have to %?v'- pay tolls to cross a bridge to come to Columbia to do business. That does not speak well for Columbia's pro? gressiveness.?Columbia Evening Record, 18th. ||fe; We agree with The Record in the |JV i above. The Dispatch has long been an advocate of -free bridges across the Congaree and Broad rivers. The peo^ V ^ ^ A H/\ Vin/llTr itl & pX6 Ui Ulit7 x/uwix JL- uiiv. <uc uoiuj iu need of a free bridge. Columbia's progressivaness demands fchafc she give these people what they are so much iu need of, and we trust that The Record's efforts will prove successful. It is gratifying to note the success with which the promoters of the South W--. '- Carolina Public Service corporation are meeting in all sections of the State. Wherever they have held meetings the citizens have turned out t and given them a cordial welcome, and assurances of support in a financial way. There are now several tej. corps of surveyors on the routes ?one on the main line from Columbia to Charlotte; another on the line \ from Saluda to Greenwood^. Right of way agents are at work also. When the surveys are made we hope to see some tangible results?the roads built in every section of the State; for this will mean more to South Car&? >' oltna possibly than'any other one undertaking now before the people. j-V. If there are any who think that a dispensary will prevent blind tigers let them read the report of the recor' ' der's court in Columbia for one morns?v,', ing. And if there are any who believe there is as much drinking and (drunkenness without a dispensary as with one let theci recall the conditions in Newberry two years ago and see what they are now. None but a blind man can fail to see the very great improvement that has taken place. Surely the people do not intend to take any backward step.? Newberry Observer. The past three weeks in Lexington certainly was enough to convince any one of the vast difference. While, perhaps, we did not have total prohibition, business was better in varions branches and several merchants noticed very distinctly the difference and now favor prohibition. On our recent ''rounds" over the county we found evidences of prosperity on every side and the people in better condition than in any previous year. The farmers have put in a j large acreage of small grain, which is now looking well, and they are determined to beijd every energy to make this a prosperous year. In some sections farm work is well under way? * ? 1- ? ' ? iAl?AM n/lvriivi_ many iarmers naviug idh.cn auvantage of the fine wt ather in early Jang nary and turned their land under, which will enable them to get in their crops as early as desirable. The scarcity of labor is the greatest draw back to their work. The merchants, too, are in good shape and have enjoyed a good early spring trade, and we predict for them still greater sales as the weeks and months roll by. But one thing we noticed, however, that Lexington county needs better roads, if she is to continue to prosper. Every county in the state is looking forward to the improvement of her highways and bridges, and if we are to take no backward step, we must, too, have good roads. We bespeak for the merchant, the farmer, the laborers of all classes, the brightest and most prosperous year i l the history of our county. Assaults Woman; Murdorei Her Infant. Cartersville, Ga.,r March 19.?Mrs James Tolberfc, wife of Former Mayo Tolbert of Fairmont, was brutally as I saulted and her 2-months' old chil was murdered by a negro at thei home last evening. The negro, wh | approached the house when Mrs. To' bert was alone with her child, de I manded $50. Being refused he sai i he must have the money or her life Then he began a struggle, durin which he followed her from room t room, until she escaped and ran t her husband's store, some distanc away. When she returned with party, the baby was found with it head nearly severed from its body an the negro was missing. A posse in mediately set upon his trail. A ne gro, said to be the assailant, was 1< cated near Cartersville late today an his capture is believed certain withi a short time. If caught he will b lynched. School Closing. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The school at Hood's Branch taugt by Mrs. O. D. Garvin, closed Marc 8th, with several recitations, drill dialogues, speeches, etc. This wa an enjoyable occasion for both youn and old. The exercises commenced at o'clock and were fine, especially tb address given by Mr. Baggot. After the entertainment was ove all were invited to take part in an ol time cake walk, which the childre enjoyed very much. There wei several cakes and a large crowd a1 tended. Mrs. Garvin has taueht our schoc two consecutive terms, and has give perfect satisfaction. She has ce: tainly built up the school and did he duty in every way to train and er lighten the students, therefore w will miss her from this community but hope to see her again in th sweet by-and-by.
