Swansea.
On our trip to Swansea last week
we iounu every tmijg oivu6
smoothly. The merchants?all of them
?hopeful of having a large trade a
little later in the season. New cotton
is beginning to come in and the
farmers are paying their debts, as
they should do. They are not buying
to any great extent yet. The mer
chants are receiving new goods by
every train, and in a few days all will
be ready for the big fall business. The
Bank of Swansea is erecting a hand
some and commodious banking house
of compressed brick, opposite the
% store of Lybrand & Lybrand, and
when completed will be an ornament
to the town and a credit to the institution.
The bank has made a most
creditable showing indeed, and its
business is destined to grow. Hutto
Brothers are the contractors. Other
buildings are going up, and on every
side the hand of prosperity is in evidence.
There is no finer business center
than Swansea.

As the winter season approacnes
the little theaters in Columbia are
- growing more popular. The attend-,
: ance throughout thevsumrrer season
has been all that could be expected
and the proprietors have arranged a
fine schedule of vaudeville and moving
pictures for the winter months.
The price of admission is small, and
everybody can enjoy an evening of
fun. We advise our Lexington readers
to visit these little theaters while
in Columbia.
Congressman Lever has contributed
seventy-five dollars to the national
democratic campaign fund. Congressman
Lever is hopeful of a demo
cratic victory this fall. He has been
requested to give as much of his time
v as possible to speech-making in the
doubtful states, but the brilliant
young congressman's throat will not
/permithim to make any more speeches
during the next couple months.

The Columbia police department is
doing some excellent work in breaking
up the many violations of law in
that city. Recently several clubs
have been raided and quite a lot of
liquor and beer seized. This is as it
8honldbe. The Jaw should be enforced
and social clubs made to comply
with the law or be put out dl
business.
.K%
Now that the campaign is over let
U8 all work with one accord for the
best interests of Lexington county,
the State of South Carolina and the
"United States. Let all prejudices be
laid aside; let all broken friendships
be re-united and let us all join hands
and congratulate the successful candidates.
Now that E. D. Smith is elected to
the United States Senate the farmers
of the State and of the entire South
will expect him to fulfill the promise
accredited to him?to raise the price
of cotton to 25 cents a pound.
The State and News and Courier
have made good use of their opportunitv
to repay the Hon. John Gary
Evans for some of his acts of the long
ago. So, after all, "every dog has
his day."
State Chairman Wilie Jones has
sent out a personal letter to all of the
county chairmen requesting them to
solicit contributions to the national
democratic campaign fund.
i" x =============
The Columbia State is leading all
other papers in collecting cash contributions
to the Bryan and Kern
\ Campaign, fund.
The hottest campaign that has ever J
been waged in .Lexington county ia
ended.

to the Orangeburg road, and is
now at work on the Orangeburg rc?d
leading out from Lexington to Red

Batesburg, Sept. 8. C.
Letter to Mayor Taylor.
Lexington, S. C.
Dear Sir: Experience teaches some
people sometimes; it teaches a few
somethings; it's a mighty slow school
a.i? u
L'UUUgli, LUttli SdlliC CA^CiiClJUC.
Lots of people paint lead-and-oil,
paint once in three years, and think
themselves wise;-; they are wasting
half their money and fuss. They're
Iso' sure they are wise, they die as
they live, paint-foolish. Experience
teaches them nothing.
There's another set, who buy paint
by the gallon, and go by the price of
a gallon. They think one price is
high, and another is low; and they
pay about middling; why don't they
pay low? They know that milk isn't
dear or cheap by the price of a quart;
that the miik has something to do
with it. They don't buy "cheap"
milk; but they buy "cheap" paint
and pay double. Experience teaches
them nothing.
There's another set. They painted
years ago lead-and oil; exhausted
that. Then tried something else; it
was better or worse. Then Devoe;
it cost about half and wore twice as
long. That's how experience teaches
some of us.
Yours truly,
64 F. W. Devoe & Co.
P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co. sell
our paint.
