CIRCULATION 2.32;. Good Roads Campaiga Party. ri/\]nmhia Ronnrd's COUnfcV-tO XUV VU1UIuui? _ 'County good roads campaign party will be in Lexington on next Saturday, July 23, and it is hoped and confidently expected that a large crowd will greet them. This party is composed of Mr. D. H. Winslow, an ex>pert in the employ of the United States government, and Mr. 0. Wardlaw Moorman, former secretary of the "Columbia chamber of commerce. Oountv Supervisor Langford will be here and will do all in his power to make the meeting a success. Let every man in the county that is interested in the building of better highways be here next Saturday. LeesvUle College. It is gratifying to the friends of lieesville college to learn that the in. ^titration is to receive the full and cordial cooperation of the people of Lees ville. All differences between the two factions, so far as education is concerned, have apparently Deen cast .aside, and with one accord everybody will work together for the upbuilding of Leesville and her educational system. The Dispatch has always hoped and contended for unity of action on the part of these good people, and now that it has come there is much cause for rejoicing. Under the new system Prof. L. M Bouknight is president. He will be assisted by a strong corps of teachers, and Leesville college will again blossom as the rose, and her usefulness broadened as the years come and go. The purchase of the Dreher shoals, "cn Saluda river six miles from Lexington, together with t' e Hongaree bridge at -Columbia, by a syndicate 'headed by Jas. U. Jacksor, of Au^Ubta, is one of the most important deals ever consumated in this section of the State. The transaction represents considerably more than $100,000, and means the ultimate freeing of the bridge at Columbia and tl e buildiDg of the long-talked of trolly line from Augusta to Columbia. This property, it is announced, will be developed ai d Improved at once, which will mean much to the people of Lexington and Columbia. This deal jrictically assures the freeing of the bridge at Columbia, which has caused so much dissatisfaction for several years. The editor spent a portion of last Friday in New Brookland, and was gratified to find that there is not a great deal of sentiment in favor of annexation to Richland. These people want a free bridge, it is true, but they realize that Lexington will do tier part in helping them to secure them and that they will soon have their wants gratified. Business in Brookland is fairly good, despite the fact that this is a hard reason with the mill people. Everybody is hopeful of better times in the near future. The Brookland Bank is ^growing in usefulness and is receiving a liberal share of patronage, which it so richly deserves by reason -of its able corps of officers. Mr. L. S. Trotti, the genial and always courteous cashier, is one of the most popular men in the town and a high toned | 'Christian gentleman. jr ? * The editor made a business trip to ^Swansea on Friday and Saturday. Here we found business good and everybody in the best of humor. The town continues to grow, new' buildings going up on all sides. The new *'brick row" is an ornament to the ' town and speaks well for the business man of the town. Mr. W. B. Rast is also putting up a firatclass ginnery, one of the finest equipped in the State, and will be ready for the season. His -basket aid crate facto* y i9 running on :fnll time, giving employment to a > large force of hands. Mr. J. C. Rey x nolds will also haye his cotton gin in . operation by the time the new crop i begins to eome in. This will be one . off the**no8ft up-to-date ginneries in the ^ State when completed. Swan Sean's always work together -.*for themrbnilding of their town and . - county, which is an important factor ^intbe make-up of any community. Swansea is now connected by teleirtfhone with Lexington and other sec tions of the county which is indeed a great convenience to the people. Crops around Swansea are not as good as former years. Corn i? fair, oat cotton is not doing well, too much rain having fallen in most places, - ..and grass is plentiful. Dixie Lodge I* 0* 0. F? Will hold a regular communication next Thursday at 8:30, for the pur pose of installing the newly elected * officers: W. L. Keele, N. G., W. A. Harman. V. G.; M. D. Harman, Sec.; A. J. Fox, Treas. Members are v- earnestly requested to be prompt in attendance. ? a ?? - Little Mountain Reunion. The annual "Newberry college reunion will be held this year on Friday, .^August 5. Prof. J. B. O'Neal Hol'loway and AUen Johnstone, Jr., of ^Awherrv and E. U. Shealy of White Rock, will deliver addresses. The Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad will operate excursions from both Newberry and Columbia The usual barbecue will be on fcbe grounds. Here is Relief for Women.

Annexation to Bichlaad. To the Editor of The Dispatch: There has been much said about uniting the Fork to Richland, in order that we may have better roads, better schools, and free bridges. But I think enough has been said to convince those that are so anxious for anexation. I think it a bad step that some * ' " 1 J. of the people 01 inerora wttuuiuuia&c and if they would give it the proper thought, perhaps, they would be relieved of that Richland fever, and those that are so anxious to go could be relieved by a little dose of logic. Dear friends, experience is a great teacher, but it seems that some have not learned the fatal lesson of bonds. They have been paying them for the last twenty-odd years, until last year the Fork paid out, and the other townships will reach the omega this year. Since we are out let us enjoy the serene joy of heart that we have no bonds to pay, and rest with sweet repose, Yon know, as well as I, that we never get anything without paying for it by the "sweat of the brow." So, if you go to Richland you will pay for the freeing of the bridges, and also help to pay Richland's indebtedness. Kow, as to the roads. We acknowledge that the Fork has been neglected but it is partly our own fault and if we go to Richland these things will not be remedied, and only made all the worse, because if we go to Richland this small neck will not be represented at all in the government, but led by the city >f Columbia. I cannot see why anyone should doubt the ability of Lexington; she is as able to give you good roads as Richland, j^er us be patient and we will soon have the chaingang with us. We must look furtner into rne incur? than the end of onr nose. As to the schools. We want better schools, but we can have them without going to Richland for them; because Lexington can afford just as good a school system as any other county, and she is perfectly willing to add every improvement, but if you want better schools, longer terms and abler teachers, why not levy a mill or two for the schools ? I dare say they will not cost as much as the annexation to Richland. In conclusion, the people of the Fork can avoid a lot of unnecessary ex- i pense, for if united to Richland, your \ land papers, etc., will have to be | transfered, new school houses to be I built, new school districts to be sur- j veyed. You who have land cut by these lines will have to have your j land surveyed in order to find'out how much tax-able property you have in both counties, and countless other expenses to defray. My desire is that you give it your deepest thought Let your own convictions guidv you and when the elec tion comes on east your ballots to remain and be a part of dear old Lexington.
