The Lexington County Teachers' institute will open in the school buildon the 10th of August. These "*e? institutes in the past hays proven of great benefit not only to those who attend, bnt to the entire school system of the county. The teachers learn to do their work more thoroughly and this better equips them for their duties in the school room. The social feature of these institutes is not to be overlooked. The visiting teachers mingle with the social set of our town and new acquaintances are formed, strong ties of friendship are made that will bear fruit in after years. Let all Lexington rejoice that | the institute will be. held here, and let everybody open their hearts and homes to the educators of our county. The letter from the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General addressed to < the postmaster at this place and "* - * fV?ia ioanp. shnilld I printed eisewucrc m uuu ? be the means of creating a deeper interest in the public highways of our county. It is a deplorable fact that the government finds it necessary to take the matter in hand. It is a shame and a disgrace to the grand old county of Lexington, that her people take so little interest in the roads over which the rural mail carriers have to travel. Let everybody get together and work for the betterment of our roads, so that the postoffice department will not find it necessary to discontinue any of the routes in this county on account of the bad condition of the roads. > , Faiiylaad. Fairyland, one of Columbia's most popular theatres, is adding new attractions every week. The performances each night are well attended i and this little playhouse continues to grow in popular favor with Columbians. There is always something to amuse?to relieve the mind and refresh the body after a hard day's work. The manager of Fairyland is always seeking the best that's to be had, and that he is succeeding well, is not doubted by those who attend his popular shows from week to week. The price of admission is small? within the reach of all. Go to the I Fairyland once and you'll go again. ( ? Tilt Lyric. > It is indeed a pleasure to attend the Lyric theatre in Columbia. This is the only open air theatre in the city and here.the evenings are pleasantly spent. The attractions are of a high order and only the best talent is used. The Lyric will seat about 700 and it is always crowded. New programs are put on every day or two, and there is never a play that fails to catch the crowd. Go to the Lyric and you will be pleased with what you see and hear. n iTrnniTni im ' Commencing Jul our house at Roc 15 th to pay for s This sale is for 3 " of the following i BABCCCK, BOCK HI These are all Sta either yourself oj to lose your mon antee for one yes you are buying t] for the money. RUM Bfi la the Voters of Lesingtca j County: | Owing to the numerous and flatter- j ing solicitations that have come to me < from so many various sections of the < county, and also to the fact that my j friends have announced my name as ] a candidate for the State Senate, I < have decided to enter the race and J will be before you and will ask your ] favorable consideration at the polls i at the coming primary election. J I am in favor of as low assessment, i or levy of taxes, as is possible to run J an economic government; an increase , in the amount of the funds expended < on the free schools of the state and a J curtailment in the amount of expen- < ditures in the higher institutions of < learning, which, I deem, are extrav- J agant, as compared with the amount < expended per capita, on the pupils in < the common-free scnoois, anu eacu child is justly entitled to its prorata < share. < I am in favor of better roads, which ] should receive, in some way, govern- < mental aid. The abolishment of the i immigration bureau, the insurance J commissioner's office and other need- , less expenditures which are hardens < to the taxpayers, and call for higher ' ] appropriations. < I think that every man, no matter i what hi8 occupation or station in life, j is entitled to just consideration and , should have equal rights and special < privileges to none. j It shall be my purpose to make an ( upright, decent, courteous and hon- < orable campaign. I shall indulge in J no personalities, neither shall I pay ( any attention, or notice any thrusts, < or insinuations cast at me, as I invite an investigation, at all times, as to my character and standing, and deem < such indulgencies as unstatesmanlike j and beneath the notice of the sover- ( eign voters of my county. It shall be < my purpose to discuss the issues as j presented and to give my views upon < any subjects at the campaign meet- ( ings. J I have a deep and earnest interest in the agricultural affairs of my coun- ] ty and state, and will always cast) my { vote in the interest of the common < wage earner and farmers and needy j taxpayers of the state, which, in my < judgment, stand in the'greatest need < of legal and governmental protec- j tions, and if you see fit to nominate < me at the coming primary election, it < shall be my earnest endeavor, when J elected, to serve you with heartfelt : gratitude and ability, and to be a tribune for your interest and a champion and defender of each constituent's personal right, an inspiration to serve you well. Yours obediently, ( D. M. Crosson. Leesville, July 14, 1908. Farmers Disappointed. There was great disappointment among the hundred farmers that gathered here yesterday, when President B. Harris, of the State Farmers* Union, failed to appear. It was a < representative gathering of men, who * have the best interest of their brother ? farmers at heart. 2 President Harris did not send any t excuse for being absent and the rea- * son for his not coming is unknown. 1 Congressman Lever, who was present * by special invitation, made a most 1 excellent talk along practical lines, 5 and he was liberally applauded. He ? never let9 an opportunity pass to < work in the interest of the farmers both in and out of congress, and his work is greatly appreciated. Fine Cora. Mr. Thos. P. Meetze certainly has some fine corn?the finest we have , seen so far anywhere. He has four , acres of upland corn that it is thought , will make a yield of about 50 bushels per acre. This corn is in about four foot rows and about 20 inches in the drill. It will average in height around 8 feet. He has more corn nearly as good. Picnic. There will be a basket picnic at G. A. Kaminer's spring on July 30th. The public is cordially invited to attend. Everybody requested to bring well filled baskets. 5'S BIB BUO y 1st we will sell any Buggy k Bottom Cash price and giv ame, FREE OF INTEREST 0 DAYS ONLY, so come ea; reliable makes: : : iLL, TAYLOB-CANNADY, Wl ndard Buggies and Carriages r neighbor for years and you ey?every job sold under an ir.
