The Lexington Dispa ch. p, 1 . 1D . 6. M. Harm an, Editor and Publisher n( tc Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, gs 8. C., as second class matter. ^ The subscription price of the Dispatch tc is $1 a year; 50 cents for six months; 25 m cents for three months^-in variably cash ^ in advance. Circulation, 2,31(5. ' ? Wednesday, April 10,1907. f -/ ; ^ In another column we publish an ^ article by Mr. McDavid Horfcon, city y( editor of the Columbia Daily Record, in which he lays bare before the people of this county and the business ^ men of Columbia, the great necessity and importance of having free bridges ^ over the Congaree and Broad rivers. It is time?high time?for the people n to realize this great need; it is time something should be done, and Mr. !?;' Horton, realizing this fact, outlines * a very feasible plan whereby these * tolls may be removed arid thus give the farmers of Lexington county an inlet into one of the best produce markets in the South. As Mr. Hor- 11 Tv ton points out, it would mean a large ? - increase in business for the merchants * '"'-1 ?o n oaT7in<y fn OIUOiUQUXa, W WCU <H a ^ those living on this side of the rivers. ^ The Dispatch stands ready at any and all times to co-operate with onr S ?|gv contemporaries and the citizens of Columbia and Richland county in any b matter that will benefit and promote $ the fnture prosperity of our county, y and when we say this we think we t fBp speak for the majority of the farmers d; and business men of the county. m The Dispatch has long been an ad- ?1 vocate of free bridges and ferries, and b: to this end we have worked for many p: years. Thit the city of Columbia, m - . through the untiring efforts of The p< Record, realizes the need of closer b] communion with the farmers of Lex- gj ington is \nost gratifying to us. d; While the plan laid out by The Kec- M P^.\ ord means that Colmnbia obtain these ^ free bridges herself by bonds, with- m out the aid of the people of this county, we feel safe in saying that m our people will, at the proper time, j] contribute liberally and aid in any pos- n< ' sible way. The citizens of Lexington & county are men of good judgment and * could not let this golden opportunity . w pass to aid a cause wherein they will i0 receive so much benefit for such a 0j small outlay. w Let Columbia and Lexipgton join fa hands in this work and the bridges w will be free. "United we stand, divided we fall." ? ===== gi The speech of Delphin M. Delmas ai before the Thaw jury in New /York B: will be read by more people, perhaps, if than anyspeech ever delivered before 'a jury hi the United States. While e\ the great advocate is pleading for the Id release of his client, men, women and children throughout the universe are tr sending up prayers to the great cc triune Cod, who sets upon the circles of the Heavens, for the speedy ac- pi quittal of the slayer of the man who ci prostituted maidenhood in New fork. B May the eloquent appeal of the noble advocate and the prayers of Christian pi men and women be answered! Lexington has taken on all the beauty of spring. Her beautiful shade trees present a scene that is beautiful to behold. But how about the ^ streets and side walks? Just take a ?* walk, if you please, from one end of Main street to the other, and see lu what yon will find? On one end, one of the prettiest residential sections of *n , the town, yon will find sand beds in some places almost knee deep; on ? the other end, towards the mill, you will find the side walks anything but a( pleasant to walk. What a terrible state of affairs! Can't we get relief? ** Are we to be contented "with the same old thing in the same old way?'' Surely not. - sc , The Lexington county dispensary board was the fi at in the State to file their report with the dispensary aud- ^ itor. The report is very gratifying to the management. It shows, among other things, that the people of this county are still fond 6f the dispensary article, and indicates, also, that the profits will be even greater under the new system than under the old. The . Dispensaries in Lexington county are 1D in good hands, and that they will continue to bring in a handsome revenue ] 111 for the county is a foregone conclu? G sion. ? < The action of Judge Gary in closing ^ the court in Greenville because the lawyers had no cases ready should be * i-?.- i a warning to all lawyers, wno nave cases to be tried in a court where he" presides. Judge Gary refused to hold a third week court, because he had accomplished nothing in two weeks, and remarked that' 'he would go where there was something to do." If there were more Judges like Judge Earnest Gary, there would be less conjested dockets in South Carolina to-day. * ' i'v .- ! ... The city council of Columbia have it into effect an ordinance prohibitig the barber shops from doing busi388 on Sunday. Columbia is getting > be a religious, yea, a glorified and tnctified city. You can't even get a rink in South Carolina's proud capi>1 on the Sabbath. How times have lended! "Pure water'' instead of le liquor blended! Good. The Roosevelt-Harriman controersy in Washington is causing disast throughout the whole country, vidently Roosevelt is' 'rattled," and, hile Harriman's statements may not b believed by everyone to be true, et he has some mighty good proof. Why not endorse the Columbia vening Record's course and give the eopie of Lexington county a free ridge over the Congaree and Broad vers. Roosevelt'8 letters to Harriman in X)4 are not in keeping with his asserons now. Turn on the light, Mr. [arriman. With the end of the Thaw trial now l sight the reading public will have aseball news to "taper off" on. Now, wouldn't it be awful if the rhale should swallow Charleston? leautifol Brookland Wedding. One of the prettiest weddings in rookland in a long time was that of [r. James F. Shull to Miss Cora L. full, which took place in Mount abor Lutheran church on last Thursayeveat 8:30 o'clock.

The edding march was beautifully ren?red by Mrs. M. J. Eptjng. After the ceremony the bride and room were escorted by their friends id relatives to the parlors of the rookland Social club, where abountul supper was served. Music was furnished during the rening by an orchestra from Coimbia. $ Mr. Shull is employed by the Elecic Street Railway, Light and Power mipany in Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. Shull will make their resent future home with Mrs. Frans B. Mull, the bride's mother, in rookland. Wishing them all happiness and :osperity, I remain A Brooklandite.
