Wednesday, June 17, 1908.
Last week we printed a communication
from "Sam Pack" on the proposed
steel bridge which the supervisor
and county commissioners have
had under consideration for some
time. At the very outset, we wish to
inform our correspondent th&t the
steel bridge question is not dead; and
it should not be. At the same time
no contract has been given out for
the building of this bridge. It is true,
as "Sam Pack" says, "that thousands
of our people will never see the bridge
in case it is built," but we should not
be unmindful of the fact that what
benefits one section of the bounty naturally
benefits the other.
As to taxing the people to pay for
this bridge, we will state, for the benefit
of our friend, that the present
surplus in the treasury and the taxes
received from the railroads and other
corporations will almost pay for the
bridge, and the necessary taxes to be
added will be so small that the taxpayers
will hardly feel it.
We disagree with "Sara Pack" on
the proposition that this question
should be submitted to the voters in
the coming primary; it is not a political
question, and should not be injected
into the primary. The supervisor
is vested with the power to authorize
the buildinc of this bridge and
the matter should be left wholly in
his charge. He should be capable of
knowing the needs of the people and
what is for the best interest of the
whole county. Of course, we do not
contend that he should abuse this
power. He should survey the territory
well and review every phase of the
situation before acting on so an important
matter.
The bridge should be built in the
most convenient place and as early as
possible. "Sam Pack" is right on
the proposition that the people should
know the cost of the building of this
bridge and they certainly will know
before it is built. We have no idea
that any member of the board of
county commissioners has any intention
of keeping the matter under
cover. Their work and actions are
open to all and will be known at the
proper time.
Our ITozt Congressman.
Hon. A. F. Lever has done the exEected
thing?he has announced that
e is a candidate for re-election to
congress from the Seventh District.
Haahe not done so there would have
been disappointment and regret
throughout the district. That he will
be re-elected goes without saying;
even those who nourish a secret ambition
to occupy the seat Mr. Lever
has filled so long and so well know
that his re-election is assured by an
overwhelming majority over any op?
ponent who may enter the race this
year. Mr. Lever has a record of efficient
service in behalf of his district
that entitles him to the good will and
confidence of his constituents. That
he eniovs a nonularitv in his district
greater "than any other man who has
been in pnbiic life in a score of years
shows that the people are sensible of
the value of his services and are desirous
of keeping a good man in a position
where he can do the most good.
?Sumter Daily Item.
The Item expresses the sentiments
of every voter in the seventh district
in the above pert article. There is
no doubt about it; Lever is the most
popular man in this district, if not in
the whole state. His work in congress
is known the country over and
. he has many personal admirers in every
state in the union who will rejoice
in the fact that he is to be returned
to confess unopposed. Lexington
county is proud of her Lever; the
seventh congressional district is proud
of her Lever; South Carolina is proud
of her Lever.
The withdrawal of D. C- Heyward
from the senatorial race and the entrance
of Mayor R. Goodwin Rhett of
Charleston, has caused a great deal of
discussion among the voters and politicians
of the state. In this issue of
The Dispatch will be found the announcement
of Mr. Rhett. He may
not be the equal of Mr. Heyward
when it comes to shaking hands, but
that he is the peer of any man in South
Carolina when it comes to ability and
manliness, is not questioned. As
mayor of Charleston he has managed
the affairs of that city in a manner
' that has attracted wide attention and
caused much favorable comment. He
is identified with many business enterprises
in Charleston and is recognized
as one of the leading citizens of
that progressive old city.
Mayor Rhett is a gentleman of
charming and attractive personality
and tio doubt will 2rive a eood account
of himself on the stump.w
The city authorities of Columbia
have recently had erected a public
band stand on the western corner of
the park, or state house grounds. In
the afternoon's and evenings free
concerts will be given by the city
band, which no doubt will be much
enjoyed and appreciated by those who
hiay chance to stroll around the state
house. Indeed, it will be a new departure
for Columbia and the city
council cannot be praised too highly
for their efforts along this line.
Congressman Lever is always in demand.
On July three he will address
the State Rural Letter Carriers' association
at Aiken. On the third Saturday
in August he will be the principal
speaker at the annual meeting
of the Farmers' Society of Pendleton.
He has also been invited to speak at
Ware Shoal9 on July the 4th, but he
has not accepted this invitation yet.
Some foolish young people don't
know the difference between a broken
heart and a disordered liver, but they
can't fool an old widower. (
