The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, Aug. 10,1910. G. Si. Harm an, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwaxgzb, Assistant Editor. Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, .8. U., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.327. We were surprised to hear while in the Fork last week thaf many citizens in that section think by going to Richland that they will get rid of helping to pay for the new Steele bridge, now being made and soon to be erected across the Saluda river at Wyse's ferry ibis is a very erronous idea. ' It matters not where the people go now, the taxpayers of the ."Fork will surely have to pay their portion of the bill, and they will farther remember; that should they go to Richland, they will have to pay the indebtedness of thatconnty which has now been settled. Think well before you listen to the glowing pictures and "boomerangs" of some of those so en' tbused, perhaps, for their own "hopes of reward" for delivering the goods, i and finally will take back seats, as is already evidenced by mistakes of some of those disgruntled and unrestful individuals. Watch them! Are they not defeated candidates or expecting big things in the future ? We were again surprised to hear some of them say that we don't want any free bridges. Be that as it may, the people are certain of the free bridge at Wyse's ferry, and the entire county will pay the bill, as they should. \ The Sumter papers are predicting that Congressman Lever will not lose as many as a hundred votes in Sumter county. This is pretty nearly unanimous, and the other counties in the district, it seems, will do as well. Lexington will swell the grand choros of approval of the work of the gameat little Congressman in the State. Lever's Appointments. Congressman Lever requests us to says that he will speak at Swansea on Thursday, Brookland on Saturday and at Summerland on the 26th. On ac count of the campaign in the six other counties of the district, Mr. Lever states that it will be impossible for I him to attend any other meetings in , this county during the present campaign.

Ceorge Bickley Killed By ' an Assassin. i George Bickley, a negro, was shot 1 from ambush and killed while on his way home Saturday night about half past eleven or twelve o'clock. The lolling occurred on Twenty-Mile creek and in sight of the home of tie i dead man. "Det," or Jes Taylor, another negro, is languishing behind the bars of the Lexington jail, charged .with the crime, having been arrested a few hours afterwards by Deputy Sheriff Miller. From the evidence adduced at the ! inquest, which was conducted by Coroner Clarke Sunday morning, it seems 1 that "Det" Taylor and Bickley had had a little falling out a few weeks before over the alleged writing of a letter by the wife of Taylor to Bickley^' It was stated by witnesses that TayloJJ had made threats against the life ofT T>: il._-.i- L.J I He paid $16 tor pwuunp icau-snu- < zinc, ?36 for painting bames-ai dziue. ! The total cost of the lead-and-zinc j i'ob was $27; the total cost tf the j larytes-and z'nc job v/as ? >;. He didn't know he was buying ' barytes; the dealer toldliim that paint was as good as Devoe. A fair example of how ?t generally ; comes-out, when you buy "something ! just as good." Better go by the name: > the name; and the name is De\oe. ! The Kauimmn Drug Co. 16 [ jau'tuoy auu Liuau I'icso uiiuaui iiuu been conveyed to him. Dr. E. P. Derrick, who made the post mortem examination and who attended Bickley soon after he was shot, was an important witness. Dr. Derrick testified that the deceased, in his dying declaration, said that "Del" Taylor had shot him. ' Deputy Sheriff Miller perhaps gave the most damaging evidence against the accused. The officer had traced Taylor's whereabouts from the time he quit work on Saturday up to the time of the shooting and until he was placed under arrest Sunday morning. The officer told of his examination of the single-barrel gun and gave it as his opinion that it had been recently fired. The gun was lo ded with a shell containing No. 7 shot, the kind taken from the body of the dead man. He told of the many conflicting statements made by Taylor, and placed before the jury the "yellow" overalls and shoes Taylor wore on the night of the tragedy. The jury after hearing the evidence retired and soon reached a verdict, holding Tayl >r responsible. This was one of the most horrible murders in the annals of the county. The assassin hid behind a pine tree and waited for Bicklev to annroaoh. The man who fired the shot was evidently on his knees at the time, the knee prints of the a9sa9sin being visible Sunday morning. In order to make sure of his aim, the assassin cleared out the bushes and limbs between where he was standing and the road. The shot was fired at a distance of about 12 or 15 feet, and the entire load took effect in the abdomen almost completely disemboweling the victim. * 4 UTT Tried an Experiment. Mr. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y, had two houses exactly alike, and painted them: one Devoe lead and-zine; the other barytes-and-zinc. He paid same price for both paints. He used six gallons of lead-and-z:nc, 12 gallons barvtes-and-ziiic. j A CARD. Liberty Hill, S. O., August 10, 1910. To the Editor of The Dispatch, Lexington, S. C. My Dear Sir: Being a farmer, and knowing your interest in agriculture, I am venturing to write you in behalf of my neighbor, Captain John G. Richards of Liberty HiU, Kershaw county, S. C., a candidate for Governor, and in doing this I feel that I am writing you in behalf of all of the people of South Carolina, for, knowing Captain Richards as I do, I feel that his election would be promotive of the best interests of the whole State. In the race for Governor there are six (6) candidates?four lawyers; sne insurance agent and one farmer,? | Captain Richards being tne farmer. | i Of course, I have no criticism to pro ? i-? i nounce against any 01 tne cauuiuabco, some of the others, I believe, wonld be acceptable, but I think the election of Captain Richards wonld add momentum to the great impetus given I farming in this State daring the last few years. Captain Richards is a Trustee of Clemson college, and it was he who caused a preference to be given there to applicants desiring to take a course in agriculture; and as such trustee he favored the farmer's institutes held annually in the State by scientific agriculturalists from said college, and in innumerable ways as such trustee and as a legislator evinced deep interest in promoting i and making more profitable the bed rock calling of them all?farming. He is a true friend of the Confederate soldier and his vote in the legislature has always been for a liberal appropriation for that honored class of our fellow-citizens. Captain Richards has served twelve years in the Legislature, and his record proves him to be a wise and carefnl legislator, regarding with firmness and great discretion, the relations that should exist between the different vocations, callings and professions that compose the citizenship of the State. Captain Richards long experience as a legislator equips him admirably for the Chief Executive of our State.' The candidate that I advocate for Governor knows what it is to support and educate a large family on the farm, and he has done this, and more, he Has made money also. Besides, Captain Richards is a man of great firmness, high integrity and pure ideal. Very truly, J. W. FLOYD, Ex. Adjt. General, S. C.
