Wednesday, November 4,1908. ??????__?_______?__ Senator Tillman. f / " It is gratifying to everybody that Senator Tillman has returned from his European trip so much improved in health. Senator Tillman stands higher in the esteem of the people of the state than any other man now living, because of his real service to *i t. them, his splendid ability ana ms rugged honesty. And because of their high esteem for him we believe Senator Tillman fowes an especial duty to the people of the state. Just now, we believe, it is their unanimous wish that he shall take care of his health. They do not (want him to do anything that may cause a return of the malady which threatened him some months ago. If he will take care of himself he will / in all likelihood be spared to live for many years to come; but any severe f strain upon his physical powers may be attended with serious consequences. The people had rather have Ben Tillman, just as he is, for all time to come, rather than have him perform any service, however great, that might shorten his days. We hope he can be made to realize this, and that he will take care of himself from now ; - on. And?welcome home, Senator!? Anderson Mail. Yes, it is gratifying to everybody ?" 1 that Senator Tinman litta lovutucu. There will be a feeling of rest now that he is back to his old home and Hv feeling himself again. It is hoped th at he will always remain the same Ben Tillman that he is today. Truly he is the greatest man in South Carolina, if not in the nation. We join The Mail and say: "Welcome home, Senator!" i i. j The people of Lexington county residing in the territory proposed to be cut off in Edisto county, shold be up and doing. We don't believe that they wilJ be led into this scheme, no matter what kind of oily-tongued promises are made. How many of our people want to go into a county when they know that they cannot hope to better their condition ? Surely no man can hope to lighten his taxes by joining Edisto county; no man can hope to have better public highways; no man can hope to improve his condition in any manner by leaving Lexington county and joining a county whose taxable property is sure to be much less than Lexing" ton. Surely, our people are not so blinded as to cut their own throats, as it were. Lexington county will o?n romnin intact and the county of OW11 Edisto will again meet defeat at the hands of the voters of Lexington, Orangeburg and Aiken. ?* ?The prohibitionists won in Union oounty last Tuesday by a large majority. Thus the sentiment against the sale of whiskey grows. ' ' * ? ? ' Sr. Daniel to Lecture. Rev. J. W. Daniel, D.

Anderson, Clerk George, Sherilf Corley and the other officials were all at I their post. I Clerk George, with his accustomed ] promptness, had everything ready and it was not long before tne court got down to business and two cases were soon disposed of. Will Harris, a negro, pleaded guilty to housebreaking and larceny and was sentenced to the chaingang for one year. George Baxter, one of the negroes who attempted to escape from jail a few weeks ago by assaulting Deputy Sheriff Miller, was tried and convicted upon the charge of larceny of live stock, and was sentenced to serve | three years on the gang. Monday afternoon the court took a recess until this morning in order to let the witnesses and jurors go home to vote in the general election yesterday. The case of Toland Jones, charged with the murder of "Funny7' Blue, will be taken up this morning. Court will probably be in session for three weeks. The docket is very heavy. The State Fair. The State Fair, held in Columbia last week, was largely attended despite the inclement weather. The exhibits in every department were better than ever before, and the attractions were of a very high character. Had good weather prevailed throughout the week it would have j been almost impossible to accommodate the crowds. During the entire week the best of order was maintained and there were but few reports of people being "fleeced," which speaks well for the police department of the city. At a meeting of the stockholders on Thursday all of the old officers were reelected. 2Tew Rural Routes. Congressman A. F. Lever has received the following letter from the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General relative to the proposed new routes from this place and Pelion: Washington, Oct. 27, 1908. Hon. A. F. Lever, Lexington, S. C. Sir:?Referring to your letter of October 23, 1908, with reference to the inauguration of additional service at Lexington and Pelion, South Carolina, I have to say that, as stated in the letters of October 12th, the Pelion and Lexington cases will be taken up in their turn and the necessary orders issued at the earliest practicable date. Very respectfully, P. V. DeGraw, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. ^ '" * mm m M J iJeatn oz J&r. J*. w. duaaa. Mr. Robert C.

We were saddened bv the information received last week of the death of Aunt "Polly" Stuck, as she was mostly called. She was rearing her 90th year. She was one of our oldest 1 women and the writer has known her j since 1853?GO years, and can sa\r [ naught but good. She was a faithful wife, a true mother, a good neighbor. She lived the life of a Christian and was noted for her charity. We feel that she has met her God in peace, and that the angels have met her on the way, and are now singing hallalulah! halialulah! in the highest. Onr streets and sidewalks have been put in the best condition since Peak has been in existence, and too much praise cannot be said to the authorities, and especially to our esteemed friends, Cape. John F. Mahaffie and W. 0. Hedgepath. Main street has the oval shape and is commendable. We have had recently as a visitor from the "Stoney Battery1' section of Newberry county Aunt Louisa Mayor, the only child living of Maj. Jacob Swygert, of Broad river township. She is 90 years old, has all her good senses and enjoyed meeting her many friends and relatives. Our community is now closely allied by the "phone." We can talk locally with Little Mountain, Chapin, Hilton, White Rock, Ballentine, Spring Hill, Prosperity, Pomaria and , the Henry Wheeler section of country, besides a connection with "long distance." The health of this community is good, and we can near tne -pam, ram, jam," of our worthy neighbor's, J. E. Epting's, gin. With warm regards to The Dispatch, and especially our beloved G. M. H.
