To the Editor of the Dispatch: Knowing as I do, your advocacy ol "good roads", and the great advant ages of the rural system of distribut ing the mails daily to the good people of Lexington as well as the whole T Tnnnl^ lilro frt m?Tro Q fan Ul/UUUJT) A wuuiu nag uv uiuav u n needed suggestions to our rural citizens, not only in Lexington, but th< whole state and country interested Gentlemen make roads, that it is pos sible for your carriers to make theii daily visits to your homes with eas< and comfort, whether on horseback buggy or automobile. He travels tin road daily 306 days every year, per haps you travel them once. Man^ routes are being discontinued because of the negligence of the patrons t< make and keep the roads in a passabh condition, and not for want of pat ronage. It was my pleasure to g< over route 1, from Steedman througl the Black creek and Edisto section o the count}', and I must say, in th< the 35 mile route, with more than 7 delivery boxes, supplying more thai three hundred patrons with mail, no more than ten miles of the road wa fit to travel with a horse and buggy much less an automobile. Twenty five miles was holes, ditches, stumps roots, overhanging trees and variou other obstacles too numerous to men tion. While traveling through thi crArden soot of Lexington county noticed with delight the finest field of corn, cotton and other field pro ducts that I ever 9aw grown in Lex ington county. Many farmers ar< making 30 to 50 bushels of corn pe; acre and more than a bale of cottoi per acre. On the same sand hill lane thirty-five or forty years ago, where ] carried the mails through that country from Lexington, Clark's Mills, Reed er's Store, Beaver Pond, Rishes Store and Steedman, a good farm wai scarcely seen. Rafting timber anc lumber on the Edisto to Charlestoz was the chief industry, there beinf no railroads through that country, Now since the railroads have come and the turpentine industry, nearly oi quite all the timber has disrppeared, and the only relief is farming, whicf pays. Work the rords, gentlemen, anc don't block the wheels of progrest in your beautiful and prosperouf county, as I consider the rural mail delivery one of the greatest gifts oui national congress has ever given tc nn* nortnlo O a if.

The total amount of taxes in Lexington county amounts approximately to $90,000, of which the lailroads and other corporations pay about $30,000. Now, np to this t.me the treasurer has collected about $18,000, or one-filth ol the total taxes. On the rounds through the county, collections were fairly good, and had the larger taxpayers paid, the teachers in the various school districts could have gotten their pay promptly rather than hold their claims until said district paid in sufficient funds to warrant the county superintendent to approve the claims, rhe trip on the part of the county 4-V.vsMirrVi fVio flnnnfv oVirmlrl LA CclSU1 CI lili uu^n viiv V/vwutj oiivMiu be appreciated and tax payers should be very prompt as it is optional with liira whether he makes the rounds or not. # Get Beady For The Auditor. The county auditor will, in a Jew lays, make out his schedule for taking tax returns for 1910. It will require a little longer time for taking returns, as all lands will be assessed at this time and everybody should be prepared with the number of acres of land and number of buildings, lots, etc., that is in their possession. It will assist you by referring to your last tax receipt. When you have a cold the first thing to do is have the bowels move, Do not take anything that may constipate ?and most old fashioned cough cures io constiDate. Try Kennedy's Laxa tive Cough Syrup. It drives the cold from the system by a free yet gentle action of the bowels; it stops the ?ough, it is pleasant to take. Childeen [ike it. Sold by Kaufmann Drug Co, OOSS COMPAI nr. Tie., atronage. Polite and P) Lumberman Killed By Negroes. Bennettaville, November 21.?Mr. f C. B. Connet, a lumberman at Madeline, on the Bennettaville and Cheraw Railroad, was brutally slain yesterday morning by three negroes, Tom Har[ ringt'on, Will Harrington and'; Ed Davis. It seems that Mr. Conner suspected Ed Davis of having stolen, and when he went to make an investiga' tion, the three negroes, who came ' from North Carolina, attacked him, knocked him down and then shot him r twice in the top of the head with a 3 pistol. The negroes escaped. Ed Da? vis was shot in the shoulder, it is said. 3 Mr. Conner leaves a wife and three - children. He came to this county 7 some months ago from Wil mot's, N. C., 3 and was well thought of by those who 3 knew him. His body wTas interred in 3 Oakridge Cemetery this afternoon. Capital Highway Notes. f Kershaw county, S.
