. The Steel Bridge.
8 The information comes from the
office of County Supervisor Koon,
that the county commissioners will
shortly award the contract for the
i long-talkec?of'steel bridge over the
Saluda river. This announcement
will be received with approval by the
majority of the citizens of the county.
The necessity for such a bridge has
h>ng been recognized. More than
Once residents of the Dutch Fork
have been obliged to go around by
Columbia to reach the court house, ,
on account of their inability to cross
on the old flats, which have long since
< become unsafe in times of high water
periods. This necessarily causes, a
" ^great deal of extra expense, net to
apeak of * the inconvenience experienced.
. '0 That the commissioners have at last
decided to erect this bridge,, which
. -will be a living monument to their
administration and last for generations
to come, should meet the hearty
approval of every taxpayer in the
county. The Dispatch wishes to con- j
gratulate the commissioners on tak- j
ing snch an important step in the up- j
building of our county.
1' We are of the opinion that the
members of the winding- np commission
erred when they refused to accept
the receivership of the late State
dispensary, offered them by Federal
Judge Pritchard. They are in possession
oiNthe facts and could have
^served in this capacity to great adv
vantage and at a great saying to the
State. The whole thing is in a muddle
and should have been settled
within the twelve months, as originally
intended by the legislature when
they established the commission.
Listen to the contentions of lawyers,
who are receiving the sugar plums,
and the matter will never get out of
the eourts. In the end, as previously
stated, the State will gain nothing.
f See how much has already been flitted
away.
vl- Judge Pritchard is to be commended
for appointing such men as Judge
Joseph A. McCnllough, C. K. Henderson
and B. F. Arthur as permanent
receivers of the dispensary funds.
Judere McCulIousrh i3 one of the most
' : - . distinguished. lawyers in the State
and a man of the highest integrity;
therefore, the receivers will not find'
t . it ntcessary to appoint an attorney to
, - .advise their movements. Judge McCullough
knows the law as well as
any man in the State, and that he
will do hie duty iij a conscientious
p > and fearless manner, is not questioned,
even by the most bitter oppose
.nents of Judge Prifcchard's action.
^ It is indeed refreshing to note that
there is at least one judge in South
Carolina that has the moral courage
to do his duty in keeping down blind/'
tigers. We have reference to Judge
?& - Robert Aldrich, who sentenced two
men to "do time" on the chaiDgang
' of Darlington county, refusing to
|. .. allow the men to pay the usual fine.
Would that every judge in the State
;' would follow Judge Aldrich'9 course.
^ 4 Lenient and sympathetic judges are,
iS" in a very large measure, responsible
: for the lawlessness so rampant in our
I ? State today.
? : The Dispatch has received a copy
of Commissioner Watson's Hand Book
of South Carolina, containing 608
pages, neatly printed and handsomely
bound. The book is very interesting
f and is a world of information: the reV
sources, institutions and industries of
the State are clearly and forcibly setf%
forth, with hundreds of illustrations.
The work reflects great credit upon
the author and will no doubt redown
to the future prosperity of our State.
i Col. J. Brooks Wingard, one of Lex- j
. ington's representatives, refused to j
? accept pay for his services during the j
re-convened session of the general assembly.
Col. , Wingard was among
the few who held that, a member who
accepts pay after he has already
served the 40-day limit, violates his
oath. However this may be, the majority
of the members did accept pay.
If some hemp rope is not soon needed
in Richland and Lexington cour%:
ties, the law providing for capital
punishment had as well be abolished
?Edgefield Advertiser.
Just wait a little while and you'll
sing a new song. Brother Mims, and
we trust that Edgefield will follow
jL Lexington's good example.
With Featherstone, Ansel and
Blease in the race for governor this
gammer it i9 safe to predict that there
wiH be a meeting at "Phillippi."

Tickling or dry coughs will quickly
loosen when using Dr. Shoon's Cough
Cure. And it is so thoroughly harmless
that Dr. Shoop tells mothers to use notli
ing else, even for very young babies.
The wholesome green leaves and tender
stems of a lung healing mountainous
shrub give the curative properties to
Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the
cough, and heals the sensitive bronchial
memoranes. No opium, no clilorofonn,
nothing harsh used to injure or suppress.
