In the face of the Strong fight that
is being made for lower passenger
rates on all railroads in the sonth by
the different states, we believe that
it would be proper and wise for the
railroads to establish a uniform reduced
rate in all the states. There is
j. no way getting out of it. In South
Carolina the rate is three cents a mile
and in North Carolina the rate is two
and a quarter cents. How can the
roads arrange this difference? Suppose,
for instance, you buy a ticket
at Columbia for some point in North
^ Carolina, will the agent in. Columbia
figure out tho distance you travel in
South Carolina at three cento per
mile and charge $ou at the rate of
: two and a quarter cents per mile in
North Carolina? This does not seem
reasonable. Ultimately the railroads
will have to make a uniform rate and,
to our way of thinking, the sooner

to make it appear that we are in
favor of putting too many restrictions
upon the railroads. We are not in
favor of making them carry passengers
and freight at a loss to their
stockholders; we are not in favor of
being unjust to the railroads in. any
manner, for nothing has had so much
< to do in bringing about the general
prosperity and development of this
; great country of ours, and it would be
unjust, unfair, and preposteroiK, for
the lawmakers of our great commongfe:
wealth to bridle them with such force
J:V-\ 9
as to cripple the .great strides they
are making in developing the\ whole
country. This, it seems to us, .is
- what they are doing and they should
r use great discretion in making such
| laws against them, just because 'they
are, seemingly, gigantic corporations.
On the other hand, we think the. railroads
should treat the public with
fairness in all their dealings; they
I should treat them with such promptness
and courtesy as not to leave any
gap open for the people to want to
treat them otherwise than private individuals.

' Labor Day in Columbia, Monday,
proved to be, a grand success in point
of attendance at least, hundreds of
Lexington people went over on that
. day and they all, to a person, speak
in highest terms of the exercises.
Some went to the ball games; others
to Hyatt's Park, where tim PeruchiGypsene
Company delighted thera
with one of the best performances of
'the season, and others attended to
business of a more or .less private
nature. The labor unions of the city
were out in full force, all offices and
shops being closed so as to give them
an opportunity to make the day one
of genuine pleasure; and too, to profit
by listening to the speeches of Gov.
Ansel, Mayor Gibbtf, Congressman
Lever and others. It has not been so
veryanany years since Columbia first
begafc to celebrate this day. It was
started by Ed. DeCamp, now editor
of the Gaffsey Ledger, but at that
time in the employ of The State, and
since that time every year surpasses
the previous one in commemoration of
+*?ia Hnv of all davs. To the
average man Labor Day is no more
fchah any other, but to those who belong
to the various trades unions, it
is one of merriment and pleasure.
It is the means whereby these organizations
are strengthened; it has a
tendency to bring about a closer relation
with each other and in this way
proves a blessing to the majority of
their membership, for, "In unity
there is strenghth."
The anti-prohibitionists of Chesterfield
county are going to fight for the
retention of the dispensaries in that
county principally upon the ground,
it is said, that the young ladies and
older women attended the polls on
the day of election and sang the good
old "Songs of Zion," and tendered
prohibition tickets to the voters.
What rot! The dispensary was voted
out by a vote of nearly two to one,
and it does seem preposterous for the
few dispensary people to try to over
A - _ _
ride the will of the great majority in
any such manner. How different
with the honest prohibitionists of
Bamberg! The dispensary won in
that county by a very small majority
and not a protest has been made by
the opposing side. How long will the
v lawmakers of our beloved State let
such a liquor law stand upon our statute
books? How long will they allow
the will of the great majority of the
citizens of South Carolina to be trampled
underfoot by a few who are in
favor of liquor because of the few
paltry dollars that are received in reyy

majority of our Legislators, even
those who have been in favor of the
' State dispensary, will, at the next
1 session, assert their mAnhood, and
pass a 8traightout prohibition law?
1 just what the majority want.
The Exposition.
i A number of Lexingtonian's have
visited the Jamestown Exposition
i during the past few months, and all,
generally speaking, were highly elated
with every phase of the big show.
; There are many things of interest to
. be seen at Jamestown; many historic
< grounds, and the exhibitions, so we
are told, are of the very best and too
numerous to mention. The accomi
modations are good. Upon your arrival
at Norfolk you find ladies and
gentlemen in waiting to escort you to
hotels and boarding houses, where
they anxiously care for your every
want, and give you all the information
necessary about Norfolk and the
exposition, generally. You can obtain
such board and lodging as you
desire, all at reasonable rates. The
surroundings of the place, the fine
seabreezes, the boat rides to and from
adjoining cities, and the many and
varied amusements, affords all that
goes to mate an outing or a tew days
pleasant. The Southern railway,
with their elegant, easy, and comfortable
cars, pulled by careful and exacting
engineers, in charge of polite
and attentive conductors, is, by far,
the most desirable route to take to go
to Jamestown.
v- .
There has never been a time in our
recollection when the merchants
and farmers have had a brighter outlook
before them than they have just
now. We have never seen the farmers
more cheerful and happy. There
is but one difficulty facing the merchant
and that is, overestimating in
purchasing their fall goods. In this
event they will have to have cutprice
sales in order to dispose of their
goods and this, as events have shown,
emoralize and stagnates business.
Because the farmers will have plenty
of money is no reason to suppose that
they are going to spend it all; they
are going to invest it in other ways.
They are going to spend a great deal
of their surplus funds in improving
their homes and in bringing up their
farm lands to a higher state of cultivation.
The merchants should guard
against this mistake. Let the farmer,
merchant, and banker work together
for the common good, and

throughout the country this fall.
The farmers of South Carolina have
just cause to feel proud over the bright
prospects before them. Never before
in the history of the State has the
finances of the average farmer been
more gratifying. We have been informed
by one of the best business
men and financiers in the country
that the farmers of South Carolina
will clear this year over and above
last year's crop the sum of thirty
million dollars, or about twenty dollars
per capita. The farmers of Lexington
are not behind those of her
sister counties, and have every reason
to be happy and content over the
bright and sunny prospects that are
now facing every farmer in the southland.
Next Tuesday there will be held an
election for the purpose of electing ,a
member of the house to succeed the
lamented Epting. As there is only j
one candidate in the race there will i
I
1 not be any great amount of interest
manifested, but it is the duty of every i
citizen in the county to go to the
polls and vote for that worthy son of
old Lexington?Nathan B. Wannamaker.

A Fine Infirmary.
The Knowlton Infirmary in Columbia
is growing more popular every
day on account of its fine management,
the many successful surgical
operations and kind treatment of the
sick. Many of our people have been
greatly benefitted and permanently
cured there, and we advise our citizens,
who are so unfortunate as to
have sickness in their families, and
our county physicians especially, to
place their patients in the Knowlton
Infirmary, where they will receive
the very best care and treatment.
There is no better institution in the
south.
In the appointihent of Col. George
Johnstone, of Newberry, as special
Judge to hold courts in the 5th circuit
in place of Judge Aldrich, who is
in feeble health, Governor Ansel has
made a wise selection. There is no
man in South Carolina more "learned
in the law" than this distinguished
kwvpr. and surelv there is none that
can preside over a court; of justice
with more grace and becoming dignity
than Col. Johnstone. It is a source
of much gratification to know that he
will preside at the November term of
court in this county.
Reports from Orangeburg state that
the surveyors for the new county of
Qalhoun will complete their work by
the end of the week. This does not
mean, however, that an election will
be held any time soon, for under the
State election laws it will be Impossible
for an election to be held before
some time in November.
Senator Latimer will arrive in New
York on Thursday from his European
trip in the interest of immigration.
No doubt he will be loaded with
plenty of information along this line
and no doubt he will need a lot of it
:
next summer to ward off the strong
opposition he will have in his race for
the United States senate.

and beer was plentiful in spite of the
fact that the dispensaries were closed.
Of conrse this was due to the fact that
the police and dispensary constables
were observing the day too.
