CIRCULATION 2,325. j i i i i Wednesday, March 24,1909. j Meeting Called. It is gratifying to us that, the people of Lexington has at last awakened to the neccessity of the situation and are ) now seriously considering the advisability of issuing bond9 to secure water works and electric lights. A meeting will be held in Roof's hall next Mon^ . day night when it is hoped the mattV terwill take on moredefionite propor ?/\n? it is nnderstood that water works and electric light can be se- j ' cored for something like fifteen thousand dollars?a very small outlay when protection and convenience are . considered. No property owner can ; afford to oppose the move. Other towns of less import are putting in electric lights and water work9 every day, and why not Lexington? Can - we afford to lag along just any old way? The people of Lexington should have at least enough feeling of town pride to give the matter serious consideration. It won't do to put it off; a fire is liable to break out at any time and the entire town will be doomed. What are we going to do about it, wait until it is too late or begin now? Now is the time to act! E. I. Reardon, special correspondent of The Record, seems to foresee a contest between Senators Tillman and Smith because Senator Smith has predicted that the political South will be broken up by the Taft policy of ap* pointing only white men to Federal positions in the South. Mr. Reardon evidently misunderstood that portion " of Senator Tillrr.an on national questions. Tillman belongs to the mere radical wing of the democracy, and is the democratic LaFol^et'c of the Senate.. He hews to the line of the ^t V,to ntn<fv hnt. in matters principle^ vi Ult? j./U1 VJ ) V/v*v ?, material, no man has been more assiduous or successful than he in caring for his section and State. He de stands a square deal in the pie cutting and usually gets it. Senator Smith will be fortunate if he can do | half as well as Senator Tillman along these lines, and at the same time maintain that high place in the party leadershipwhich has come to Tillman solely because of his great ability, | and his constant adherence to the best interest of the people. There . should not be and will not be any discord between the State's Senators. Dr. "W. D. Crum says that he resigned the position of collector of the port of Charleston to save President Taft embarrassment. This will do for Oram to tell, bat we believe that the truth of the matter is, Cram realized that his days were numbered and he stepped down and out to keep from being forced out. The quaint old City by the Sea has every reason to congratulate herself on Crum'3 being out, and should feel very grateful to Senator Tillman for the utrong fight he made. President Tatt has begun right in refusing to re-appoiqt the negro postmaster Wilson at Florence. No Republican can ever hope to gain the confidence of the white people of the j "? iri r>osi- i South by retaining ... _ tior.s where they constantly come in contact with white people. This is a white man's country and the sooner the Republicans in power realize the importance of keeping white people i:i oflice the sooner will they jjain the esteem of the South.

After having served as a member of the Lexington County Dispensary Board for about twelve consecutive years, Mr. J. Weir Addy is succeeded by Mr. A. B. Bachman, of New Brookland. Mr. Addy has filled this position without fear or favor, always honorably and to the entire satisfaction of the public, and now that the Lexington delegation has seen fit. to appoint another in his stead, we feel that it is but due Mr. Addy to say that no man could have filled the position better. Daring all these years not a word of r.y.vft- Qnv nthpr r^harcfi \J i i a I I Vf* UIJJ ? has ever been brought against the members of the board. We know that he has the satisfaction of knowing that he has performed his duty to the best of his ability, and with an eye always to the best interest of his county. Letts? to Jno. M. CaughmaiL.

It was our pleasure to be present at the millinery opening at Fitzmaurice's Three Arch Store in Columbia, on Monday. Never before have we seen gathered together such a wonderful display of millinery. This being an entirely new feature of the Fitzmaurice store, hundreds of visitors, were eager to avail themselves of the opportunity to be present on "opening day." Misses MacWilliams and Habernicht, the charming designers, with a number of courteous and attentive lady clerks sold many hats the first J day. This new department at the "Three Arch Store," stands foremost t among the millinery establisements of Columbia, and it is already recogi nized as being the "home of new styles." The ladies suit department at this store presents all of the new spring styles, and you can find any price suit you want. The values in this department have never before been 1 equalled in the city. All of the other j departments of this truly great store I offer many startling values, and it ! will be to your advantage to inspect the stocks at Fitzmaurice's before you j buy elsewhere.
