(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"

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

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.

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

The editor spent last Friday at j
! Swansea on matters of business. A j
j large amount of fertilizers are bring I
j handled and the merchants are hav- j
j ing a fair trade. In the course of the j
! next few days a telephoue exchange
! will be in operation. The lines are
j being built all through the country
I and will connect with the Bell's long !
j distance. Swansea is growing every
i day.
i "If Lexington is to be cut on all
sides, why not annex the wnoie county
and have a Greater Richland."?
Lexington Dispatch.
"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 ;

from which came the late Rev. S. A. j

j president ot' Elizabeth College at 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.

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
