CIRCULATION ??MM ?y Wednesday, March 3,1909. |vy . Fine Piece of fiosd. (From Lexington to Shiloh church, &; on the Augusta road, at one time was an unbroken, bottomless sand-bed, l| through which horse tugged and 0:, sweated, hungry and thirsty, while man was compelled to listen to the monotonous grind of the wheels, va" U" ioa.s00r nf K??:--v<? v ^ . jg . Tied here ana mere vy tiiC 3Wow n v* the wheels Tolling over roots, running ?> from neighboring long-leaf pine trees for generations and generations; but this no longer is the case. A horse ean now trot over this road, two in a : baggy, with the greatest ease without everbreaking his gait the entire distance of eight miles, and not be hurt K as much as formerly going one mile p?y rof this distance in a walk under simile lar conditions. Some mathematical genius may compute what has been wasted in tijue and horse flesh during . these years of sand. ' Three years ago Mr. George D. Hayes began a subscription list in work .and money contributions, with -rvmA ftid from the County Supervisor, I /and a nice, smooth-rolled hara roaa is the result of that effort and nobody lias lost much, and the general public ;has gained a roadway over which they may travel in ease and comfort, and .haul their goods to and from home -with much less waste of time and dray age?a d ecided piiblic gainy and all must feel grateful to all who have in any manner aided in thi9_mest laudable undertaking, and we trust that the good work may receive the watchful care of our road officials and that they will keep it up to its present standard of excellence, because boys nave been kept from school to posh this work, and fathers from their duties at home that it might be com i. i?? something: in ?? plefced?so 1C JLI (19 WWM time and effort and should not be7ieglected. The "split-log drag,'' so favorably spoken of by the United States road officials, has been used in this work to good effect, and we recommend fall see it who are interested in such work and judge impartially of its merits in obliterating ruts and holes, so common in all our roads, as well as fc - . proper drainage. Mud and slush are preceded by standing water and when our roadbeds are properly graded and f drained there is sure to be less of either, Such improvements cannot be estimated in dollars for the traveling public, real estate owners, or even an ? ? i individual, for it is simply incalcular " 1 of SUCh ff ble and we must u<tvc ? work. The agitation of the annexation of a portion of the Lower Fork to Richland?we were told by citizens residing in that territory who were here 1 on Monday?has somewhat abated. I f This, we thought, would be the result, with few exceptions, after dae deltoid " , eration. Many jumped at the scheme, it is said, thinking that they would I - get the bridge over Broad ri ver '' free'' by joining Richland, forgetting, of course, that they would have their share of the taxes to pa\T when once 0 rinrt Richland. they Deuttiuo t Lexington has ample means at her commandto secure all the advantages Which Richland now has?and we will have them bye and bye. Again we nrge our people to weigh the matter well and think twice before they leap. Mr. Jas. A. Hoyt has purchased a ff controlling interest in the Columbia Evening Record and assumed control on Monday. Mr. Geo. R. Keoster, the founder of The Record, has severed his connection with the paper, hia farewell having appeared in Saturday's paper. Mr. Koester has done much for the advancement of Columbia, and his card was a manly one. Mr. Hoyt is one of the most gifted young newspaper men in the State and that he will make a success of The Record is a foregone conclusion. - . - - ? rr?n?ter of time when the ?T 11 w on j v CL 24?^v Broad and Cougarce river bridges will be made free. This is a proposi|r tion that the city of Columbia and jj^ her business men can ill afford to pass p by, as the benefits that would be def|" rived are obvious to all. As a matter p-. of course the freeing of these bridges K is of interest to a large number of our z, citizens and they wi?i assist in any underfcakinglooking forward to bringip ing about the change.

"Shall we take that as a proposal." ?The State. Well, hardly just yet. Prohibition was defeated by a small vote in the senate, but the people of the "wet" counties will get a chance to say whether liquor shall be sold or not. The election is pretty far off, but the fight has already begun. Iteseems that this session of the Legislature will go down in history as haviDg worked harder and accomplished less than any previous legislature in the history of the State. Its dollars to doughnuts that "Jim" Hoyt will take some of those dashing headlines off The Record. I The legislature has adjourned and everybody is glad. A number of subscribers fail to appreciate the fact that we cannot, according to law, send a paper through the mail to a subscriber who is in arrears for more than twelve months. We dislike very much to cut off any of our subscribers, but we are forced to do so by the United States postal laws. We would be glad for everyone who has not paid within the law to come forward and pay up their past indebtedness, so that we can continue their papers. Besides, we need what is due us?we can't get along without it. This is not intended for those who have paid within the year and no offence is intended. New Paster Sas Arrive}. The Rev. T. S. Brown, the newly ! elected pastor of St. Stephen's Luth- ] eran church, arrived'with his family \ from Pittsburg, Pa., yesterday mom- I ing, and are occupying the parsonage j on upper Main Street. The Rev. Mr. Brown is a native of ; j ^m?BI! 9|pw, A B ' The Rev.^T. S. Crown. Virginia. He was confirmed in old i St. John's Church, Wytheville, Va., ! from which came the late Rev. S. A. j | Repass, D. D., the Rev. O. B. King, j j president ot' Elizabeth College at j ! Charlotte, and other well known min- j i isters. i snr>r> aflpv orrarhmHncr at T?na:ioke ! | College he entered the Theological j Seminary at Gettysburg, where he j completed his course. His first par- j i ish was St. Mark's church, Charlotte, i | N. C. Here an attractive and church- j ; ly edifice, prominently located, was j | erected through his efforts. He con- j ; tinned here as pastor for nine years, j | Moving to Salem, Va., he temporarily i j served several churches. i In 1S95 he was called to Mt. Zion j | Church, Northside, Pittsburg, Pa. j j The congregation at the time was a j ! mission, but under his labors pro- i I grossed in numbers, churchliness and j J efficiency and soon became self sus- j taining. !. The Ilev. Mr. Brown has served as | j president of the Pittsburg conference j j of the Lutheran church, and at the j ! time of his rotirimr from the Svnoti 1 i was vice-president of the Citv Mis- : j sion end Church Extemion Society, ! j also vice-president of the Sunday j School Association of the Pittsburg Conference. In coming to Lexington Mr. Brown i feels that he is coming among his own I people, and not strangers. He was 1 pleased with his visit here in January j and greatly enjoyed meeting our peoi pie, and could not help but appreciate ! the quietude and rest fulness of the ! town over against the noise and bustle of the big smoky city from which he came. Mr. Brown will preach his first sermon as pastor of St. Stephen's next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. % ? and 1706 HHain S?ods_, PiotlonSs C mQMMS WHIL ery department of west prices now i w f nrnumji. - " ? nr11)"" 1 ",l* |,,L" ' ? ? i-.?*??ASRESTS ARE MADE 1ST SSHIiTOLE CASE | I John Y. Garlington Arrested In Chattanooga. Other Warrants Are Out. John Y. Garlington of Laurens has i been arrested in Chattanooga as a re I suit of further proceedings in the celebrated case of the Seminole Securities company. Two requisitions have been issued in the ca9e by Gov. Ansei?one against Garlington and the other against Garlington, J. S. Young and M. J. Jeanee, all being connected in some capacity with the concern. Sheriff Coleman leaves today for Nashville with the requisition papers. The case is familiar to the public. The action for a receivership after the purchase of the Southern Life Insurance company, the meeting of stockholders, at which time new directors were elected; the chargps that the ( sale of stock was at an exorbitant price and that Garlington and his associates took a patr of the margins on the sale of stock, have been published and created much comment at the time of the proceedings in the courts. It was announced when the litigation ended that; criminal proceedings would be commenced against Garlington and other directors, and the warrants for the arrests were issued yestrday. The charge against Garlington is obtaining money under false prej tences and the charges against Gar1 ? -S "8 Imgton, jeanes ana iouugureuicovuI es of trust with intention to defraud. | While Garlington i9 under arrest, I the others have not yet been served with the papers, although it is probable that when the announcement is made that criminal proceedings are | pending all will make arrangements j to give bond?The State, 28th. | Since the above was put in type j Garlington, Jeans and Young have arrived at Columbia and will likely secure bail. , 1 L J.
