We take off our hat to County Supervisor Langford and here and now congratulate him upon the excellent work he is doing with the county cha ingang. Not since the inauguration of the system in this county has j the gang given so much satisfaction, j It is worth a days' journey just to see the gang at work. It is really sur?~ tKo nrrcrlr nf prioiu^ tu oco uvw iapiu uuu v? claying the roads is being done, j Every foot of the Augusta road, "between Lexington and Columbia, has been clayed, the work having been completed last week. With the present force of hands the chaingang can build roads in the sand at the rate of nearly one mile a week. There is no finer piece of road work anywhere in the country than ! the Augusta road between Lexington \ and Columbia. The railroad cross'? * v-J in?B, However, are in u?*u wuuiuwu, but it is understood that this matter will be reported to Superintendent H. A. Williams, and it goes without say-, ing that he will put the crossings in good condition at once. Supervisor Langford intends to keep the good work going and it is safe to say that it will not be long before the roads of Lexington will compare most favora* bly with the roads of any county in JSouth Carolina. Columbia. Slain street, in uommDia, is as brilliantly lighted as when the noonday sun sheds its pure light on a clear day. Hundreds of large Tungsten lights are stretched across from one mdeof the pavement to the other on three of the principal blocks of the street, from the State House to Taylor street. These lights are turned on each night at 8 o'clock and burn until 10 o'clock, except on Saturday nights, when they burn for an hour longer. This is what Columbia has long needed and is in keeping with the recenP improvements that have been made on theetreeta. The paving has been completed and the streets of the city ^ compare most favorably with the streets of any city in the entire south. Columbia's growth has been rapid. Her suburbs havo outgrown the most sanguine expectations of the owners of the property, and Columbia will continue to grow in greatness and in population: Her businessmen, and those in charge of the city, are widemmmmmmmmmmmkmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmmmmomwmmmmmmmmm m I I . .1 . > t' A FEW SI r ; : ' 1 : I Men's ^2-Diece Suits, _ A Boys' long trouser, 1 Fine Panama Hats Straw Hats (stiff an B.

DREI OUTFITTERS FOR LEXINGT I a-wake to her every interest. The 2 State and The Record are doing a great work for Columbia. They never 0 let an opportunity pass to boost the \ many opportunities offered invest- a ment seekers by the city. There i9 S no agency that has had more to do b with the maingkof Columbia than 1 ner enterprising uews^cia. ^ . o Ed Bynum could have been placed ^ in the Lexington jail with as much j, safety and would have received just s as much protection as in the State g penitentiary. It is true that he would v have been killed had he been cap- 3 tured soon after the crime was com- q " 1 - * ' it fVio oViPr. mitLeu ueiore wie CAICUV m ^ iff's injuries could be determined. 0 The entire militia of the State would t have been of no avail, and Bynum ^ would hav$ been shot like a mad dog. But the people of Lexington are a ^ lawabiding people; they believe in upholding the strong arm of the law, and they will see to it that the negro gets a fair trial. Sheriff Corley, like the brave officer that he is, though k bleeding and suffering intense agony c from the terrible wounds inflicted by the dastardly scoundrel, authorized * his deputy to capture the man if pos- t sible, and not to kill him unless he a t was forced to do so. The people of Lexington scorn the idea of having a E militarv escort to attend the trial and r - / it is hoped that Governor Ansel will 9 not put this extra expense on the tax- * payers of Lexington county. ============ * The trouble at Clemson seems to be c adjusting itself. t What has become of the electric * light and waterworks commission? ^ ===== E Lexington county roads will soon t be the equal of any roads of any y county in the State. ; It is a burning shame that every 13 train on the Georgia Railroad has 3 been tied up 9ince Saturday night on account of the firemen's strike. It is I a matter of regret that the strikers | and the railroad cannot adjust the I : differences. Human lives have been p endangered and the property of the i railroad damaged. Every agency of c the law has been appealed to without c relief. This is a terrible state of af- o fairs. e ' a t It seems that the Orangeburg papers I and the Calhoun Advance are having g an interesting little discussion over r the probable outcome of the dispensary election in August. Both coun- a ties are in hopes that the other will r vote it out. Orangeburg wants to ( keep it and is hoping that Calhoun , wont.

Crowds, after crowds, have flocked to he big store to reap the benefits of he special sales. Thousands of .rticles hav.e been removed during his bargain feast. A sale at Mimlaugh's always carries with it a uighty rush, but not in years has a pecial sale attracted so many people, doming, as it did, at a season when iveryone must have summer clothes, t meant the saving of thousands of lollars to the people, and a loss of hat many dollars to Mr. Mimnaugh. n a few days now the large annex rill be completed and the rearrange? ? ^ * ' ^-1^ * M VIAI if TTAfl LieiiL UI me Stue& ucguu, auu XI Jiuu iave not already visited Mimnaugh's rou had better do so at ODce.
