|| The Lexington Dispatch | Wednesday, June 29.1916. G M. Harm an, Editor and Publisher D. E. Haltiwanger , Assistant Editor. Entered at tne Post Office at Lexington, S. O., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.327. I!W^* W tavv iv i? A Bine X on your paper denotes vou are in arrears. A Red X shows that \ your subscription expires in the issue erossed. Hoke Smith, who was defeated for Governor of Georgia by Little Joe Brown two years ago, has entered the M race again. Attorney General Jno. C. Hart has also announoed his candidacy. It was the pleasure of the Editor, on Sunday, to share the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Willie E. Harth and Mr. and Mrs. J. Tally Harth, at their . lovely home, on Taylor street, Colombia. Truly it was more than a pleasure to be with such kind and attentive folk, to enjoy ther entertaining company and especially to partake of such an ellegant dinner. Mr. James A. Hoyt, the brilliant Ife and enterprising editor of the Oolura Ibia Record, has launched a good roads campaign in South Carolina, ^he itinerary will will be found in another column. The party will be in Lexington on Saturday, July 23, and1 it is hoped that oar people will take a livly m Interest in this undertaking. There will be a representative^ the government, who is an expert in road building, along with the party, besides Mr. C. Wardlaw Moorman, former secretary of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. There will also be other speakers present. On yesterday the M. C. Butler chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, of Columbia, composed of some of Columbia's noble women, gave a sumptuous dinner to the inmates numbering about fortyfive, of the old soldiers home, at Shandon.. Those of the mid soldiers wto were too feeble to make the trip I on cars were carried out in automobiles, and there was nothing left undone that could have in anyway added to the pleasure and comfort of -Phia Aam-otnl,/ is rrirtat UiO VCIlOKIllOa JaUiO vti LU1U1J Ul aovub commendable and the women who compose the M. C. ^Butler chapter hare shown that the Services of the Confederate soldier will never be for^ gotten by the women of this fair land. ========== Will Lezugtoa So Ear Part? Will Lexington do her part? In another column will be found a card |' from .the Hon. C. M. Eflrd, a copy of whi3h has been addressed to every member of the county executive com l&V \ - mittee. This communication is selfexplanatory, conveying as it does, . oold and' irresistable facts. It is elear and convincing. The executive committee should adopt the plan proposed. Should the people vote favorably on the question there will be nothing left for the Lexington dele gation to do bat to get an act through the legislature authorizing the supervisor of Lexington county to issue the notes as outlined by Mr. Eitrd. This would^nake the bridges free quicker by at least 12 months. Under the present law the people could not vote OA the question without first obtaining authority from the legislature. This would necessarily put the matter off until next year. Ii the present jrtan be adopted, the bridges will prob.ably be freed within a year. There can be no question about it being much cheaper for everybody in Lexington county to vote in tavor of free bridges than it will be to lose this valuable territory. That Richland Will do her part there seems to be but ' little doubt. The city of Columbia can ill afford to turn the proposition down* ' Her citizens are progressive and are always ready and willing to stand by any move that tends to advance the city's interests, and Lexington should do her part. Now is the time to act and it is hoped and confidently expected that ^ - Ml 4. X the executive committee win lavorably on the matter withoct a dissenting voice. Sled From Lockjaw. Liliius, the 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Langford, died at the home of*her parents in the mill village on Sunday evening at about 7 o'clock from lockjaw. On last Tuesday the little girl ran a nail in her ft foot. But little attention was given at the time, her parents thinking that she would soon be allright. On Saturday, however, she was taken violently ill and on Sunday morning lockjaw developed. HerremaiL9 were laid to rest in the f city cemetery on Monday afternoon. [ Mr. Lucius Bickley, who has been f 1H with fever for some time, is slightly [ improved. k. Notice. Dem. Ez. Committee.
