CIRCULATION 2,377. Wednesday, September 18,1907. Much is being said about the "free bridges" over the Con garee and Broad rivers by our Columbia contemporaries. who are giving advice?sensible advice?to the merchants and business men of Columbia. Last Satur. day The State had a most sensible / editorial on the subject and The Rec? ord has been hammering away for several months. Many plans have been suggested whereby the bridges fe might be freed, but nothing definite has been decided upon, the matter ? now being in the hands of a committee appointed by the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. The infor|gV. ' mation has been putforth that both bridges?the one over the ,Congaree and the one over the Broad?can be J ir\-f wfin Ann Tf. IBCl/'UICU 1U1 U1C OUUVUUb U1 fJV|VW. AV |> has been suggested, we believe, that Columbia township raise this amount V .by getting the legislature to pass an act permitting the issuing of bonds, etc; In this connection The State U very wisely asks: "Would it be possible, by legislation or otherwise, to divert part of X the city taxes that would otherwise be applicable to building roads and bridged in Richland county to defraying the expense of making those toll bridges free?" That is*the question. Can it thus : ^ , be arranged? The editor of The Dispatch is in close touch with the business men of Columbia as well as the tax-payers of Lexington county,, and we believe, from our observations, that the best course for the people to pursue just now, is to first see how much could be secured by popular subscription. This could readily be ascertained by placing two energetic men in the field?one in Columbia township; the other in Lexington county, near Columbia, where the iv people will receive the most benefits. After this is done whatever^ amount is found to be lacking, could be secured by legislation or some other method. The people of this county, 1 residing in the territory near Columbia, will contribute freely toward these bridges, and if you come at them in the right manner there is no estimating how much could be secured. We would suggest along this line that these subscriptions be made payable in installments, so much a year for, say, two or three years, as the case may be. Hundreds of farmers in this county would receive untold benefits from Hg;- these bridges each year. Many of them make their daily bread by going v to Columbia with their truck and other eatables, which they raise on 1 their farms. HI could they afford to torn down the issue when their bread J and meat partly depends upon the people of Columbia. Just visit the markets in Columbia, if you will, and see how many Lexington wagons you j will find loaded with produce of every description. It would surprise you. The benefit will not only be derived j 5 by those living in Columbia. Whatever helps Columbia along this line helps Lexington. So then, with this awakening, lpt the people of Lexington join hands with Columbia and, with one accord, work for the freeing of these bridges. - i In describing a charming entertainment of the G. G. Club by two young Ladies, the Walhalla correspondent of the Anderson Daily Mail reports a ' portion of a uniqe test of a woman's fereath,. as follows: }' "In the center of the table in this darkened room, quite a number of candles were lighted, and each girl was asked to stand by the table, and with one breath, blow out as many candles as she could. The number of candles she left lighted were to indi* cate the number of years there would be before she married." A game of thi9 kind is new to us, but we would like to see one played in these parts. We can imagine ourselves seeing some of the women 'blowing out candles with a breath ? ? ^ '\TT/*vr* a equal tu n ytcsuciu vjwwuc. While discussing the free bridges at some length in this issue, we are not unmindful of the fact that the roads of Lexington county are in a wretched condition and this, too, should receive the attention of our taxpayers and representatives in the legislature. Let the people get together in mass meeting and discuss this all-important question. Better roads we must have have, and they will come! We don't propose to stop with this issue. Next week we shall have something to say about a free bridge over the Saluda, where Wyse's ferry now is, and of which the grand jury referred to in it's last presentment. C?>is u m: That hacking < Because your your powers of re Take Scoff | h buad# ?pand stren< ^ It contains Cod Liver ( ?Qi prepared that it is easy i A ALL DRUGGISTS 4444444444444 A paragraph in The Dispatch last week, while not so intended, might have caused some to think that the members of the dispensary board were instrumental in securing the services of the dispensary constable. As a matter of fact, the board was not consulted in the matter at all; they didn't know that he was appointed until he sent in his claim for the month of July. The petition was unbeknowingly presented to the Governor and he made the appointment. There is a very interesting communication in this issue under the caption, "Lack of Interest in Education," which is well worth reading. Indeed, there is not enough interest manifested in education by the people of South Carolina, and we trust that the article referred to will be as seed sown in good ground, and have a tendency to create a healthier spirit along educational lines. Mr. A. B. Cargile, former editor and founder of The Saluda Standard, has bought back the paper from Daniel Brothers, who have had charge of the plant for about a year. Mr. Cargile is a good newspaper man and we again welcome him into the field. There never was a time in South Carolina when men?fearless men?were so badly needed in the journalistic field as now. How much will the farmers and business men of Lexington county, residing in the territory near Columbia, give toward free bridges over the Congaree and Broad rivers? It will mean a saving of hundreds of dollars annually to them. /" "Did you ever see a bald-headed woman," asks a correspondent. We never did. Nor did we ever see a woman waltzing about town in her shirt sleeves spitting tobacco juice over every thing she came in contact with. Nor did we ever see a woman tank up on mean whiskey and abuse her hnsband and children. God bless her, she aint built that way.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. ' Amen! Amen!
