To the Editor of The Dispatch: I read with sadness ana sorrow the references in your columns of another secession from our county of a portion of our citizens to seek the advantages and blessings elsewhere they should find at home. For Lexington to preserve her present proportions and dimensions will require more than mere talk and the filiing of your columns wi. h dangers of leaving us and seeking a home elsewhere. A start and aim at last to do our duty and show to these dissatisfied portions that we can give the redress and relief for which toey sigh and an immediate effort to show our good intent, is all , that can save our territory intact and prevent the invasion which is threati ened and prevent the secession which is impending. These people have a i right to bo dissatisfied and we have > given them a just cause to lament their grievance and to complain of our neglect. The southern and western portions of the county have not done their duty to the Congaree and Broad river areas of our county. These people suffer under severe disadvantages in a struggle to make a living. It is now too late to live in a land of ferries and toll bridges and toll gates?that day should be relegated to the past. In 1892 and 1893 when I represented this county in our general assembly I tried to do my duty hs I believed it on this question and in your columns, on the stump and in the legislature I struggled to try to prevent this same collapse. I introduced a bill to buy cue oia Driages or ouna a new one ni> Brookland and making the tax heavier on those living near and lighter on those living farthest away. I wrot^ several articles in your paper detailing the advantages of this course and strived to show that the advancement would outstrip the costs and expenses, and in your columns and in addresses 1 advocated the ultimate end of owning the Broad river bridge and building at least one across the Saluda for the citizens in the Fork to reach their county seat without such expense and delay. Your columns will show that j I feared then this same calamity and offered this as the only solution of tbi9 | question iu tl e future. I believed tnen and do still that such a course is the only riddance of this evil. I believed then and do still that Lexington offers better invitations than Richland could extend to investors in nice homes adjacent to city life and city business, and I contended that the increase in valuable buildings and home9in our county would 9oon offset the initial expense of giving these people franchises, anc&to lose this territc ry would necessarily encumber the remaiuder with an.additional iucrease to meet our county government expenditures. Just this neglect lias already given to South Carolina Calhoun county, and to continue this kind of political lunacy will still minify our size and magnify our expense on the rest of the county. Columbia was once willing to go its nart in f.hiq river tariff and Lexington should proceed to keep in line with progress whether Columbia does its part or not. I fear the time has past for Columbia to do what she once would have done. Let us assure our citizens that we are as competent to care for our citizens as Rich land is to Crtre for hers or for any additional accessions. Our county ha9 a great future and we have a goocly land or it could not have so successfully combatted bad roads and these needless : burdens. We can't depend on the I ehaingang and the convict camps for good roads, lor the people need them and the people should go the expense to build them, and to build and equip better academies and schools for cur future uplift, and we can get it in no ether way. A change of name will not assist them in these blessings and will not arrive at a verdict any sooner or to any greater efficacy or right. The free silver rage and otner political dogmas have had their da}* and have played their hand and have retired from the scene and we are learning that the homely questions are far irightier and far more momentous to us and our future than these national questions about which we he ar so much fretting in campaign seasons. The time is near when our politicians will have to change their cry and advocate the common place and trite questions to our home life; such as better roads, better schools, better academies and better unci more public service, more respect for law and its enforcement and a compulsory system of getting our children into our public schools. These are the uplifting, advancing. common sense and practical questions of our day and of cur eventful future. To withhold these progressive and elevating questions and lose this territory from sheer earelessne-s and want of tin ill and rebuild or keep in a state of preservation these Chinese walls of Asiatic stagnation i3 poor business and bad public policy. As a business question it is a tailure and as a public meatusc it end- in lo-s ami defeat finally. An extra h vy will result finally to toi.t our b.llo in re grievous ami galling than the amounts now needed to carry out this proposition to our people's interest, and we will finally he driven to those ends in the fiuish or lose more territory 10 adjacent counties and be finally left .-l/tuni t/i n um :j 11 pmImIp fif ihr-? mumiifi DBS GOIFAI r, CHE3., ironage. Polite and Pr( cant county we once possessed. To be able to boast of having the smallest tax leyy in the State and allowing these issues of life and death to us to go nncared for and unhonored strikes me as a poor policy and but little in it for our credit. The enormous expenditures on our public institutions where so few numerically considered, are reached and benefitted are out of proportion to the minimum expenses bestowed on measures where so many are concerned and should receive more consideration at our hands. While I am not advocating a reduction to these public trusts, I would urge more care for the lesser interests at home and if either must be neglected there is no question with mo as to my duty. We are in a position to offer the best home of any county for the final location of the hospital for the insane. We are nearest to our capital of any of desirable sites for these unfortunates of our native land, and I am one of those men who believe that in public effort , and enterprise God blesses those communities who do mo9t lor men as he would individuals in a private capacity. We have natural advantages yrhich the world can and would use an , effort and inclination on our part would give it a send off. There is no cause for our surrendering our capacity to some other party, who are no more Capacitated than ourselves to do for good. To giye U9 any advantages Richland would run up our taxe9 to reimburse for the outlay and we can * . i tii * i. _ r\ 11 j ao tnis wicn equal grace to iticniana and save her the trouble and our citizens the chagrin. v r D. J. Knotts. Swansea, April 18. Hr. Henry Kleokley Dead. Another old soldier has answered the final roll call. On Monday morning at half past six o'clock Mr. Henry Kleckley, after a severe illness of three weeks, and after a life well spent and full of years, passed into that Great bourne from whence no traveller ever returns. He was a Confederate 3oldier and fought^ for the southland during the war between the Sections, being a member of Co. K. South 0 rolina under Capt. W. D. M. Harman. At the close of the 9trife he returned to his home near Lexington and engaged in the pursuit of farming, which occupation he followed until death. He was a member of Zion Lutheran church for many years and was one of its strongest pillars. He is survived by his wife and five children as follows: Frank, Melvin and John Kleckley, and Misses Elizabeth and Ellen Kleckley. Also by the following brothers and sisters: Thomas, David, Jacob, James and Reuben Kleckley; Mrs. Frances Buff and Mrs. Marv Hendrix. His remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground, near his late home, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock i with funeral services conducted from ! the home by the Rev. J. A. Cromer. The deceased was 73 years of ago. Death ci Mrs. Skull. Mrs. Louisa Slmd died at her home in the Rooky Well section on last Wednesday following an illness of several months duration. Mrs. Shell was 67 years of age, and is survived by her "husband and three sons. She was a most lovable character, being a woman of high traits of Christian character and devoted to her family and friends. Her body was laic to rest in the cemetery at Shiloh Methodist church, of which she was a devoted member, on Thursday incrning in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, with funeral services conducted by the Rev. Mr Folder. I Had Seven Gallons Left Messrs Leachman & Edelin, Graft-on, \V Va, liad been selling a paint, which they thought well of; and this had occurred. They had sold a customer 13 gallons of it to paint his house. A lew years later, they sold the same man Devoe lead-and-zinc the same number of gallons to paint the same house. IJe had 7 gallons left. The point of the tale is: 11 galions Devoe paints an 13-gallon house. Of course, that isn't all. Why docs 11 gallons Devoe go as far as 13 gallons ot other paint"? Because it is ah paint, ail true, no sham, and full measure. But that isn't all. Devoe lasts longer. No, no; von haven'r got to wait ten years to find that out. Ten thousand pe pie know it. They think a heap c.f Devoe. There's no difficulty in sb< wjng our townspeople what to expect of Devoe. ?10 will paint a ?15 house; and Lite paini'il last twice as Jong. 10 Dr. .Daniel to Leoturo.
