" We regret that it becomes necessary
fon U3 to again refer to the new
postal laws, which will become effec.
tive on April 1, but it seems that
|!?j| quite a number of our subscribers fail
' to c&tch the meaning of the rule. As
, -> we have repeatedly stated, we will
v&rWto. be permitted tto mail papers to
^VJfcjscribers who are in arrears for
^ 'fanhre than Qne year. We want to
again impress upon them the
i important fact that this matter is not
life" left to our discretion; we have no.
^ s more to do with the running of the
J ; posfeoffice department at Washington
. than you have, and we must comply
v ; with the law. Realizing this, and in
; :anticipation of the vast amount of
and the length of time it will
iggr take to get our bqok3 in proper shape,
' ?e have already erased a large number
t?pom our books and more will
;?f meet the same fate, unless they make
M remittance at once. This is only a
r. plain every-day-business-proposition,
' and surety no one has a right to get
. offended. So, reader, if you fail to
get your paper, don't blame us; you
have had ample time to pay up.

-2 The legislatureVill re-convene, on
A March third, to elect a successor to
Ithe^ late^ Senator Latimer.- Several
prominent gentlemen have been mentioned
in connection with-, the short
term, but there is one that deserves
more than passing notice. We 'refer
to the name of General Wilie Jones,
tha^ prince of good mien, who has
been at the head of the Democratic
party in this State for- many years,
having served as Chairman of the
Executive Committee for, perhaps,
twenty years. He is a man of wide
business experience and is peculiarly
qualified to look after the interests of
I South Carolina in the United States
Senate. Realizing that this distin.
guished gentleman would fill the unexpired
term of Mr. Latimer with the
*sarae zeal that has been so characteristic
of his past life, we commend
' him to the favorable consideration of
the General Assembly. There is
no?another man in the State that has
done as much for the Democratic
-party as has General Jones, and it
would be a righteous honor, most
wnrtJiilv hofttnwed. to send him to
.the United States Senate.
The political situation in South
t Carolina has tlken a decided change
p.'- daring the past ten days. It was
generally believed that Governor
Ansel would be permitted to return to
the Gubernatorial chair without opposition,
but it is definitely announced
that he will have opposition in the
person of Hon. C. C. Featherstone of
Laurens, who, it is said, will make
the race on a straightout prohibition
j| platform. It goes without saying
that Mr. Featherstone will make it
"hot" for Mr. Ansel.
Since the temble tragedy in Columbia
last Saturday morning in
which a dispensary constable lost his
life while in the discharge of his duty,
the question naturally arises as to
how far an officer is authorized to go
in the discharge of his duty. In other
words, is an officer authorized to
break down, tear down, knock down,
and if need be, kick down, a door to
a residence and enter with drawn
pistol in order to capture booze?
=====
Hon. Duncan Clinch Hey ward, exgovernor
of South Carolina, has announced
bis candidacy for the United
States Senate for the long term. He
is in the race to win, so he says, and
no doubt he will make a most formidable
foe. Mr. Heyward, his friends
, say, has not lost any of his popularity
of a few years ago, when he was
elected governor by one of the largest
votes ever accorded any man for that
high office.
For the last eouple% weeks the
Charleston News and Courier has
been reaching Lexington at 7:30 in
the morning. This is indeed a treat
to the reading public, for the News
and Courier is a great paper?one of
the greatest in the south. We take
special delight in reading the editorial
page. The News and Courier's
subscription list should grow in this
section, since it reaches here at
this early hour.
Guess the people will get a 4 4 whack''
\ at the county dispensaries this year.

Enjoyable Automobile Bide.
On Sunday afternoon it was indeed
our pleasure to accompany Mr. J.
Tally Harth, the yeryx efficient and
capable city electrician of Columbia,
and his family on a 'delightful and
pleasing automobile ride over the
principle thoroughfares of that beautiful
city, and out into the suburban
districts?the old Schutzenplatz,
Booker Washington Heights, which is
fast becoming populated by colored
people who ^re building homes and
otherwise improving the property;
thence bv the new Methodist college I
for young women, which is indeed' an
ornament and credit to Columbia's
rapidly growing suburbs; the Ensor
-estate, Hyatt's Park, down Main
to th^ corner of Plain streets, to the
State * penitentiary and to the city
waterworks on tbe beautiful banks of
the faipfms Broad. We metJVIrr John
IrWin, the very abl6 and genial chief
engineer of the plant, who kindly
showed us through the entire waterworks
and explained the workings of
the machinery, filtering process, etc.,
with which Columbia is supplied with
pure and health-giving water.' It is
much more extensive than we imagined
and is certainly up-to,date.
This is, indeed, and ideal place lor
the young people to spend their Sunday
afternoon's in recreation and
pleasure. While there we noticed several
couples and a number of pedestrians
of both sexes, thus enjoying
themselves.
The afternoon was an ideal one-^
spring-like, with a delightful breeze,
which made our trip all the more enjoyable.
We are under lasting obligations
to Mr. Harth, for this pleasurable
and much enjoyed little outing.

With the death of Senator Latimer
the State loses one of hex most conscientious
wbrkers in .the upper house
of Con cross. His crood work will be
o ?: P
felt for years and his memory will
live forever in the hearts and minds
of his countrymen.
Many a candidate for the legislature
this summer will be asked as to
how he voted on the high appropriations.
The increase has been enormous?more
than $200,000 above last
year. *
The Lexington delegation stood by
their colors; they voted, in nearly
every instance, against the exhorbitant
expenditure of the people's
money. v
Hon. E. D. Smith, of Southern Cotton
Association fame, has announced
that he will be a candidate for the
United States Senate in the coming
campaign. We have not read his
platform.
If the candidates for the United
States Senate keep coming?and they
say there are more to follow?it will
be necessary to have two campaign
parties this summer.
Let us work together for the upbuilding
of Lexington county, and in
doing so let us not be unmindful of
our roads and bridges.
The legislature of 190S will go down
in history as the most extravagant
since the days of reconstruction.
Get in the habit and talk for good
roads and free bridges. It> won't do
any harm.

A Sigh School for Loxingtoa.
Last September at a meeting of the
Joint Conference of the Lutheran
churches in this and adjoining counties,
a committee was appointed to
investigate the possibility of establishing
a training school within the
bounds of the conference. It is understood
that the school shall be owned
and controlled by the conference. It
will not be a theological school, but
will be under the influence of religious
men. The teaching and management
will be with a positive recognition of
the church and Christianity, but the
o/->hrvrkl 11 nnt. Vip spr?+,ariflr>.
The aim will be for the school not
to come into competition with the
common schools in the country. The
idea seems to be that the course wi.l
begin with*the eighth grade and go to
the sophomore year in coilege. Also
there will be a business course, which,
doubtless, will be elective.
' While the'pupils in this school magnet
come in touch with the literary
thought and the literary men, as in
the colleges and city schools, they
will be freer from many of the common
temptations, come in closer
touch with thefr instructors, and their
moral and religious life will be looked
more closely. /
As parents and citizens we feel
the need of such schools. College
men are asking for such training or
preparatory schools to be established
This school would be very advan
tageoug xaj juexingwjii aim vmiuiuy.
While the eighth and ninth grades are
being well taught by one man (and
here we cannot say too much to the
credit of our one competent professor),
yet one more is being required
to cover the ground which ought to
be given to two or three men.
The presence of such a school
would be a stimulus to both parents
and children. Ambitious boys and
girls in successful school work beget
in others a desire for an education.
The frequent sight of a working
school reminds boys and girls of their
possibilities.
It is generally conceded that Lexington
is the most suitable location
for such a school. It is thought that
not less than $10,000 will be necessary
for the establishmentof this school.
There are weighty reasons why the
people of Lexington and vicinity
should subscribe liberally. There are
business considerations. The erection
of the building would for the
time increase the volume of business.
The prospect of such a school would
make property more desirable. Men
with families to educate would avail
themselves of every opportunity to
live in or near the town. It would
give occupation to many in boarding
pupils and teachers with their families.
It would give a market for
labor, merchandise, and country produce.
But the greatest local gain is in
having the Opportunity of educating
our children at home. We have their
companionship; we have their sympathy
and help; we have the supervision
of their health and their associations.
They have the religious influences
of the Christian home.
It is hardly necessary to speak of
the fact that the education of our
children will b^ with a much less outlay
of money.
wirlav "FpIv *21. there was a
V" J ? 1
meeting of citizens in Lexington for
the purpose of taking steps towards
securing this Conferential school for
Lexington. The meeting was organized
by electing Hon. C. M. Efird as
chairman, and Mr. Robert Leaphart
as secretary. A committee was appointed
to solicit conditional pledges
to the establishment of the proposed
school in Lexington. It is learned
that other places are preparing to j
make a bid for the school at the meeting
of the conference tlie 27th of
March. So that whatever is done,
must be done within the next few
days. If anyone intererested in the
school is not asked for a pledge, he
can send his pledge to Hon. C. M.
