- A prominent merchant and business
g - man of Lexington says: *' Away with'
HKfei. the dispensary ; let the taxes go where
they will!
I No matter what the result of the
. ' ThaW trial, the majority of the people
will always think he did the
right thing when he killed Standford
White.
The Hon. Wra. H. Taft only laughs
When his name is mentioned as a pos- I
sible candidacy for president to sue- |
ceed Roosevelt. Why shouldn't he?
It strikes a feympalhetic chord. p,
If the Columbia Record keeps up
v the fight it has been making for free
bridges across the Congaree and Broad
rivers, there is not much doubt but
that the people of the Dutch Fork can
soon go into Columbia* without paying
bridge toll., . '
Let everybody pull together for a
greater Lexington. It will not be
loner before her beautiful shade trees
I will be resplendent with the beauty of
spring, and for pride sake?if for no
other?we should keep the streets and
sidewalks .cleaD.
The good people of Eloree, Orangeburg
county, have voted out the dispen^ry
by an overwhelming majority.
They say that they would rather
have their taxes fchribble than have a
dispensary. A prominent business
man of Lexington is of the same opinion.
Senator Tillman caxne very near I
getting in a fight in Virginia last week |
- because he made a slight remark
about President Roosevelt in the pres<
ence of his admirers. But the senator
held his own and refused to retract
Ms language. Tillman is not a coward
by any means and this-was not the
^-.first time that he has faced the storm.
& V' The Augusta Chronicle is rising,
jphoenix like, from her disaster of a
week ago, and is reaching her subscribers
on time as if nothing had
happened. The Chronicle is one of
?;: % the oldest and best dailies in the
sotfth, and it goes without- saying
that in a few days the Chronicle will
'0-." rise up greater than ever: . "
"The Bit Do?.",
In abetter to the' Batesburg Advo
cate, Mr- C. L. Jones, now of North
|p > Augusta, questions#the right of The
Dispatch to advise the people of Edisto
in reference to the proposed new
county. It has been the policy of
i this paper to advise our people and
we are glad that it has proven from
time that W8 have given nothing but
sound advice, and regardless of Mr.
pp.'; Jones we shall continue to counsel
with them to the end, with no selfish
? purpose in view, but looking to" their
welfare. "It is the hit dog that always
yelps," and knowing Mr. Jones
/ from early boyhood, his many moves
from county to county, seeking office, j
but without success, and his last j I
move to North Augusta, where there
has been, a strong move for a new
ia nrnof enonsrh to our mind
J, X- ?
that he is the "hit dog," and therefore,
his article needs no further comment
from us. Let him take his own
izfedicine.
It
looks now beyond doubt that we
are sure to have two new railroads
passing through our town. The surveyors
are now locating permanently
the lines, commencing at the Brookland
end and will pass here in a few
days. Mr. E. B. Pilcher, the adjuster
of the right of way for the South
Carolina Public Service Corporation,
is to follow right behind the surveyors.
Both lines ? the AugustaAiken
and Columbia road and the
South Carolina Public Service Corporation
will use the same road-bed
from Columbia and Brookland to this
place and as far up as George Hayes?,
on the old Augusta road, at which
point the South Carolina Public Service
Corporation will branch off for
Saluda Court House. It is thought
now that these companies will use
the bridge at the foot of Gervais
street, entering Columbia, and connect
with the city railway, if they do
not establish a depot of their own.
It is probable though that they will
14.
connect with all roads entering Columbia,
for they will not only haul passengers,
but heavy freight as well,
which will make it very necessary for
them to connect with the other roads.
The people living along these proposed
lines should bear in mind the
great importance of these roads and
the many benefits that will be derived
from them. They should not hesitate
in giving the right of way and otherwise
aiding the promoters of these undertakings,
which means so much for
the further development of our county
and State.
In a letter to Hon. A. F. Lever,
published elsewhere in this issue, the
Postoffice Department says that the
amount of mail delivered on some of
the routes in Lexington county is far
hplr?w the average. It is a matter of
-TM ? ? o
great importance to the people that
these routes be kept in operation daily,
but you can at once see that unless
more mail is delivered on these feutes
the patrons now receiving mail everyday
will only receive it three times a
week. The patrons of all rural routes
should see to it that ?the amount of
mail delivered should be up to the
required standard.
? ??????????
One Develops the Other.
It is quite evident that with the two
electric roads the development of the
water power on the Saluda is sure to
follow, for one develops the other.
There was some parties here a 'few
days ago inspecting the sight of the
dam near JDrecher's Ferry, and
understand that they were very much
nl cased with the outlook, and we ex
pect, at 110 distant day, to see the
work commenced and pushed to completion.
With this power in operation,v
other great possibilities for our town
will follow. This electric power will
enable Lexington to have lights at a
very small cost, and will open the way
to many other enterprises that are
now under way> It is claimed, also,
that the power at Amick's Perry and
Langford's' Shoals will likewise be
developed and thus add to the wealth
and prosperity of that section.
A.
Beautiful Easter Opening.
Never before in the history of Lexington
has there been such a wonderful
and magnificent display of Easter
millinery, ^dress goods, notions, shoes,
etc., as is shown now at the mammoth
store of W. P. Roof. To-day
and to-morrow are the opening days
at the big store. The ladies are all
pleased?tickled nearly to death?
with the display of the beautiful Easter
hats, the designs of Miss Brown,
of Baltimore, who has already proven
that she is master of her profession.
She is pleasing, patient and painstaking,
and it is a pleasure for her to assist
you in getting just the hat that
becomes you most.
It is really amusing to see the sweet
smiles of the ladies before the *'looking
glass," when being suited to a
hat. The improvement is so grand
arid pleasing.

one of Union's well known physicians,
was shot in his office this morning
by a negro woman named Lucy
