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. !

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.

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.
