SENATOR EFIRD
WAS SUCCESSFUL.
His Bill to Provide for a New Schoo
District, Known as St. John's,
Passed Over Governor's
Veto.
Senator D. Frank Eflrd has beer
successful in his fight for the establishment-,
of a neur school district
known as St. John's. Inspite of the
failure of Governor Ansel to approye
the bill, for reasons 'setforth in a rather
lengthy special message to the
senate, the bill was passed by a vote
of 30 to 2.
The bill was introduced a year ago,
but on account of^the governor's failure
to sign the act, the new district
has never been established.
It will be recalled that a delegation
from this county with their attorneys
?some in favor of the district and
some opposed to the propositioncalled
on the Governor some time
last year, but he would not change
his action in the matter. Following
is the bill:
"Section 1. That the board of education
of Lexington County shall,
within thirty days after the filing
with them of a petition of one-third
of the qualified electors of the hereafter
proposed special school district,
shall order an election therein on the
question of a levy of two mills speciai
tax on all property within said district
for school purposes therein, saic
election to be held at St. John's school
house after fifteen days' notice thereol
by the managers appointed by saic
board."

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Surely my Lexington friends have
: the marrying notion in earnest. Ifc
hardly seems possible that some who
were only children when I first knew
them, should now be married. But
. such is life. I am forced to admit
what I do not feel?that I am growing
older. Congratulations to all!

good. No less attractive was the

billing to SU For Thaw.
New York, Jan. 16.?One of the two
thousand strange letters which have
a been received by Mrs. Evelyn Thaw
r since Harry K. Thaw's trial began,
f which was made public today, cony
tained an offer from an Ohio man to
h substitute himself for Thaw, and if
9 necessary be executed. The writer
11 imposed the consideration that his
I family be paid $3,000,000 as soon as
y the proposed substitution is complete.
His letter covered 9ix hundred pages,
d He declared that he was a double of
the prisoner in appearance and could
take Thaw's place in his cell by visiting
him in prison in disguise. The
,writer, whose name was not made
^ public, said he had no special desire
A to live and was not afraid to die, but
u
made the offer in order to provide for
" his family. The letter was written
coherently.

Eelp Lever To Bass Bill.
The News and Courier says 4'the
water courses and consequently the
lands in Mr. Lever's Middle South
Carolina district are nearly affected
. by the mountain woodlands and so It
is that a dozen States are dependent
upon Congress to protect their respective
interests in the mountain,
regions." That is true, and the people
in Mr. Lever's district should
I make their wants known in the matter.
It will help Mr. Lever in his effort
