' The Lexington Dispatch ?ti (Wednesday, January 26,1910. s; G M. Harman, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwanger, Assistant ^Editor Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, t S. C., as second class matter. t V gg<\ , I CIRCULATION 2,325. [ c Former Judge James Aldrich died I fat his home in Aiken on Sunday after 1 an illness of several weeks. Judge * {Aldrich was one of the most distin- 1 guished jurists of the State and was i held in the highest esteem by all who t K {' knew him., He was nearly 60 years of age. Let the legislature pass a state-wide e prohibition law and thus do away with I the liquor question in the coming 1 campaign this summer. Let's get Tto \ the place where we can eliminate the J "licker" question from politics for at least a year or two, and there is but j t the one way to do it and that is by i * passing a state-wide prohibition law. ? , 1 Sheriff P. H. Corley has been makpr ; . ing it "hot" for tho blindtigers. Dur- ^ - ing the last week he has made seiz-1 j ures to the amount of more tnan su z gallons. The sheriff and his deputies j. are determined to do their duty so far j as possible in enforcing the law, and in this they will have the backing of j?| $11 right thinking, lawabiding citi? ^ 4 zens. - ? ' Ernest M. DnPre, supervisor of the census for this district, is the right man in the right place and a better selection could not have been made. The way he is managing his end of t this important work is most commend- j able. Mr. DnPre is a business man of i recognized ability and the voluminous *] and exacting work of the census re- c quires such a man. The greatest s care shonld be used in selecting ecu- c merafcors, for upon them depends the l accuracy of the censos. To obtain i the best results the most capable men ahould be chosen. i = t The Investigating committee ap- 1 pointed by the last legislature to look * into the affairs of the state hospital 1 for the insane, made its report last f week. The majority report scores c the management, while the minority report praises the work of Dr. J. W. ( Babcock. It is clearly -shown that more money is needed to supply the needs of the institution, where so many of the state's unfortunates are p e n rod for, and it is believed that the legislature will make the necessary increase in the appropriation to meet ^ the needs of the institution. On our rounds through the Pork last ^ week we found a popular sentiment in 0 favor of better roads and bridges, and 11 especially for a substantia] steel bridge across Saluda river. The peopTe have begun to realize that taxes are going to be high and that the money might n as well be spent for these improve- c ments as for anything else. Many of those who were opposed to the build- r ing of a steel bridge a year ago, now 11 favor it. It might be a good idea for our representatives in the legislature to make some provision for funds for gl the construction of a bridge across the st river. The people want it and it is but right that they should have it. 2c !Thir4 Week With Auditor. F r r . a ? - ? ? i. ?: Last wees was speug wnu V/UUU17 aj .'Auditor Dent in tbe rich and fertile .' Dutch Fork. Oar first point was ? Irmo, on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Here the peopie turned opt in large numbers, as usual, and S the auditor was kept busy. The peo- " S'^,1? of Irmo are enjoying a season cf I . prosperity and the town holds its own. * Tuesday afternoon was spent at "Ballentine, where the attendance was I op to other years. Our young friend, J f -Henry Ballentine, is doing a good mercantile business at Ballentine. s Wednesday morning we were at 3 White Rock. The auditor was kept J busy serving the unequal large crowd that met us here, despite the very in- t -clement weather. The work completed here, we went to Hilton for the j afternoon. Not yery many - people met us here, but the crowd was up to 1 tihe average, however. j Thursday and Friday was spent at ( Chapin. This is one of the best towns in the county, being backed by a rich farming section. Hundreds of people 1 met us here?more than ever before? - J QAPVpd them with dis 3QU bU3 auuiwt w. . patch, Chapin continues to grow as the green bay tree, and the merchants were in the best of humor. The Bank of Chapin is doing a good business and is filling a long^felt want in the Pork. The last place of the week was Peak. Here the attendance was good. Like the other towns of the Fork, Peak is growing, and is destined to become a better business point. On the whole round we found tbe peopl9 contented and seemingly hap-' py, Prosperity is smiling upon every * kfi > v . ' ' . JIJ lass of cor people, except, possibly be W2ge-earner, who is feeling the ontinued high price of all the necesarie9 of life. , Sensational Suit. c One of the most sensational cases in he history of the State was begun in a he State Supreme Court on Monday, a yhen the wife of B. R. Tillman, Jr., >rought suit to recover the custody of ier two children, which her husband leeded to his parents, Senator and Irs. B. R. Tillman. The case will be leard by the supreme court next Monlay. All of the parties are of promi?Ar?t. and influential families, which nakes the case all the more sensa* ional.
