Listen to what the Columbia Record says: "There is some talk of dismembering Lexington county. If they do, leave her the Dutch Fork, Lexington would not be Lexington without the Dutch Fork." Men or tne uaicn i? orK: 1 asx you to think for yourselves before you vote for a county line that will divide a people who have heen one for nearly two centuries. Have you thought what such aline means? The splitting of your farmers or neighbors, thereby giving some the trouble of assessing and paying taxes in two counties. Have you thought what such a line means? The drifting apart politically of a people who have been brought together at the Dutch Fork barbecues for a common cause. Have you thought what such a line means? "The Dutch Fork of Richland" which sounds empty of prestige and influence. When you think for yourselves the wist that annexation advocates have blinded you with will roll away and you will see plainly that Lexington is the best county for the people of the Fork. When you think for yourselves you will see that it would be unwise to split this historic Dutch Fork led by a dilusive hope to better your condition. When you give this | subject more thought I feel sure that you will agree with my good friend over on Broad river who spoke at White Rock some weeks ago favoring annexation but deliberation forces him to say that annexation is not the right step for his people to take. He is ready?broadminded man that he is?to stand up retract what he said, and "pour oil on the troubled waters ' which he helped to disturb in a hasty moment.

Those of you who have been to the war have, but who has experienced homesickness while living in the same home surrounded by friends. John Howard Payne was away from home in the city of London when a loneliness came upon him which prompted him to write that beautiful song, "Home, Sweet Home."
