Hud Oa Old Counties. Every week a "new county movement" springs up. The worst feature of it is the piling up of taxes on the old counties involved, the majority of the people therein not even being allowed to vote in these elections. Under the present law it seems that the expense of holding the new county elections, no matter how often they come, must be borne by the old county." This law ought to be changed.? Kingstree County Record. You are right, brother. The law should be changed, and every candidate for the Honse should be asked how he stands on the question. * The County Executive Committee will meet on the first Monday in July to arrange the schedule for the county campaign, louring the last few years in making up* this schedule the conrt house has been left out entirely. This year we believe that there should be a meeting held at the county seat, for the reason that more votes are polled ? "? Here man at any oiu?r puiui m wc cpunty, and the people have a right to Irear the views of the different candidates in the field. And unless a campaign i9 set for Lexington there will be many voters who will not have the opportunity of hearing the candidates express themselves unless they go to the other places, which would make it must inconvenient. By all means give the court house people an opportunity to see and hear the candidates. If all the criticism they can make of Congressman Lever is his vote on the lumber plank in the tariff bill he has easy sailing. If that proposition was presented to the voters we believe it would come nearer defeating some of thos8 who voted opposite to Mr. Lever than defeating Mr. Leyer. That is one proposition on which Mr. Lever was entirely coirect.?Newter^ry Herald and News. This is well said. Lever can be depended upon to act in his votes on all % . proposition! in the interest of the general pnblie and we have an idea that when he is heard on the stump in respect to his tariff record, those few who are seeking to defeat him will wish they hud been able to find something else to attack in his record of useful service to the district and state | Watermelons.will not be seen on the local market so soon this year.

M?i All Lexington is glad that the teachers of the county *re here. She welcomes them with open hearts and outstretched arms. They will enjoy our goad water if nothing more, and we hope that each of them will be benefitted by their stay among us. The teachers of Lexington county are as good and as true as any teachers in the world, and they are to be commended for their efforts in trying to improve and better qualify themselves for their responsible duties. rpi"1 innnirr annointed bv 1 lie WUi V v? I -rl ? Gov. Ansel several weeks ago to look into the Boyd-Brock controversy, has made its report. The court exonerates Col. Brock from any intentional wrongdoing, at the same time it severely criticises both Col. Brock and Adjutant Boyd in the manner of operating the affairs of the office. Nothing criminal, however, i9 suggested, and it is now up to the governor to act. The Editor is in receipt of an invitation, through Secretary B. F. Taylor, to attend the annual meeting of the South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers Association, to be held at Wrightsville Beach, N. C., on July 6th and 7th. This association is doing a great work, and we hope that we may be able to attend. The people of the Dutch Fork will soon have a free bridge to the county seat. The people of the entire countv will help pay for this bridge, and the work will soon commance as some of the material is now on the grohnd. It matters not whether the Fork goes to Richland or not, she will have her portion of the debt to pay the same as the other part of the county. And thi9 is as it should be. The Dispatch has always contended for unity among our people and that we should help bear each other's burdens. The people of this side of the river have always been generous to the citizens on the other 9ide. They are going to help pay for this bridge without a kick. The people on this side of the nivAr havp jjlor?r.q snnnorfced the can didate9 from the Fork liberally, and rightly so. Would the people of the Fork be treating the people on this side fair should they now annex to Richland ? This is a question for them to answer. Supervisor Lang ford is going to move the gang to the Fork in a very short while and, in addition to building a good highway from Broad River Bridge to the Newberry line, he will work the other roads in the Fork. But if all of the Fork is going to Richland would it be fair and right for the supervisor to build the roads in the Fork ? We are merely mentioning these matters to show the conditions a9 they exist. It is a known fact that our county I has been far behind her sister counties in good roads, because the people would not stand for taxes for this purpose, while other counties did, and now they are clamm<?ring for improvements that cost money, no matter where you go or stay, so we fail to see the reason for the unrest and dissatisfaction with Lexington when you I are partly to blame yourselves. And we repeat, that our people can have all the improvements and benefits that they enjoy in Richland or Newberry, and perhaps with le99 burden to the people. Have patience, please and you will get roads, &c., equal to any in the state. wjm iiiriifaigiir^iiiixaja JUST ' l of Merchandise of for the next 30 days n 1 KememDer 0 THING. gray, worth $7.50 S3.98 On Wee > $11.50 sale price 6.48 t6ll VI ) $18 sale price 9.98 ,nd up sale price 98c 0^ Thll sale price 1.48 Ging] i$5at 288 OnFrid com $2.00 to $2 50 . . i.29 size 1 >3 50 to $4 at 2.48 HATS.

This farm is situated on the car line leading out from Columbia to Colonial Heights. We have never seen a finer field of corn than is here to be found, and certainly reflects credit on tne management. We wish that every farmer in the country could take a look at this piece ot corn. It would be a great benefit to them, as it shows conclusively what can be done, when good management is used. We noted especially the rapid growth of the Colonial Heights, the north-eastern suburban town of Columbia. Like all parts of the city it is growing fast and ere long the Heights with excellent roads and streets, will be a part of the spreading city sure enough. At the Grand. i The Grand theatre, in Columbia, i will present ''Scott Leslie and Iiis Merry Maids'' all this week. This is one of the strongest aggregations that has ever appeared before a Columbia audience and manager Davenport is receiving the thanks of all tneairegoers. The best of mnsic, sweet singers and charming dancers are these pretty young ladies and they are | certainly the drawing stars or tne ! season.
