Entered at the Post Office at Lexington,

CIRCULATION 2,327.
It is the dntv of every person in
Lexington county to attend the county
fair. Write for premium list.
Lexington is on a boom. We are
soon to have a social club, as will be
seen by reference to the published
notice elsewhere in this issue. And
there is talk of another.
The Tri-County Enterprise is to be
the name of a new paper soon to be
published at Batesburg. Col. John
Bell Towill is to be the editor and
-chief promoter. We wish the new
paper abundant success.
The people of the county, generally,
are prosperous, and there are brighter
prospects ahead. If the price of cotton
remains good, and we believe that
it will, our farmers will have money
enough to meet their obligations and
still have some to spare.
A number of our subscribers are in
arrears, and unless they pay up
promptly we will be forced to cut their
names from our list. We dislike to do
this but the postal law makes it incumbent
upon us to cut off all subscribers
who are in arrears for twelve
months.
The price of cotton and produce is
good, and our people have no right to
complain. The summer is over and
we Deed money to meet our obligations
and to pay printers. Send by
.mail if you are not coming to town.
It was the editor's pleasure to make
"a business yi3it to the hustling town
of Chapin last Thursday. We found
a great many farmers there selling
cotton, the price on that day being
, 13.40. It is really surprising to see
how far the farmers haul cotton to
this growing little town. Most of the
farmers of the Fork are selling cotton
i -at present prices.
We found a great deal of sentiment
in favor of a bridge at Amick's ferry.
This would prove beneficial to Chapin
and the other towns of the Fork and
to Batesburg and Leesyille on this
side of the river. We nope to see this (
bridge built at no distant day. I
The merchants at Chapin have nn- j
'usually large 9tocks of merchandise j
^and all of them are doing a good j
business ' The Bank of Chapin, with
-J. S. Wessinger, president and J. F. j
iloneycutt, cashier, is growing every j
day and is filling a want long felt in ,
'that Ofimmnnitv. c
V
Following are extracts of the new j
'road law passed at the last session of f
'the general assembly and approved a
33rd day of February, A. D. 1910: g
*That all male persons between the (
ages of eighteen and fifty-five years g
in tb? ?. ounty of Lexington, except
those in. apable of earning a support j
from beLig maimed, or any other ?]
canse, in Jieu of performing, or causing
to be performed, labor on thepab- g
lie highways of said county fcr twelve n
*lays in each yesr, may pay to the g
<Jounty Treasurer of Lexington conn- j
ty a commutation road tax of two dol- ?
lars, to be paid at the same time, and
in the same manner, as State and q
county taxes, which shall be expend- a
ed upon the public highways of the tj
-county, and as nearly as possible in 8
the townships from which collected; ^
^nd the County Supervisor is hereby ^
authorized to have the roads of said g
county worked by contract, or by the
overseer plan, or by employing superintendants
of work." "The County H
Treasurer shall enforce the collection
of said tax by execution if not paid." H
"Every person liable to the commuta- H
tion tax, as provided herein, who shall H
fail to pay said tax shall be required
to perform twelve days' labor of ten H
hours each upon the public highways jfl
of Lexington county under the cirec- H
tion of such person as the County Su- H
pervisor may designate." fl
Gov. Elect Blease I
To Speak Thursday. I
Gov. Elect Cole L. Blease, of New- jfl
berry, will speak at the Tri-County jfl
*-_ Fair at JtsatesDurg, on j nursuay, me m
20th of October, instead of Wedne?- fl
day, as was announced in these col- H
trains last week. Every day the pros- fl
pects grow brighter for a successful ?
fair at Batesburg The officers are at
work in earnest and man}* new features
are being planned. The entries
-are piling in by the boat leads, it is q
"said, and every department will be
full. The attendance promises to be
unusually large this year as special
rates have been named by all railroads g
leading to Batesburg. ?
? - c
lexington County Fair. 3
The Lexington County Fair will be *
larger and better than ever this year, j
if we are to judge by the interest ?1- s
ready manifested by our people. The 1
buildings are being repaired and the
grounds beautified for the great an- s
mual meeting. That the exhibits will
be above the average goes without ?
1. saying; for our people have never ^
been more prosperous than now. All e;
* of the crops will practically be gath- J
by the time the fair opens and s,
farmers will not have anything to ^
keep them at home. ?
Secretary George has made arrange- j j
ments for the best line of attractions j >
ever seen at the county fair and there i J
will be amusements enough for every- | J
body. Come to the fair. j >
* i v
Perry-Porter. j;
3fiss Alice Perry of Batesburg, and i J
Mr. H. C. Porter, of Pendleton, were J
married at the Batesburer bote! on Mon- i s
day morning at 9 o'clock, tn^ Rev. W. j ]
T. Hundley, paster of t'- e Batesburg
Baptist church, offieiatine. i c
The bride is one of the p- pular young a
women of Batesburg, and tbe groom |
is a snecessfal traveling salesman. : (
The marriage-was quiet a smpriee
-to the friends of the young people.
i
The fourteenth annual fair of the
Lexington County Fair Association
will be held this year on October 2.3,
26 and 27. The premium lists are being
freely distributed throughout the
county. If you have not already received
one write the secretary at once.
It is the duty of every citizen of the
county to not only attend the fair but
to have an exhibit there?something
that will help to make the fair a credit
to Lexington county. It matters
not whether you secure a premium or
not it will do you no harm and at the
same time it will help to put your fair
at the head of county fairs.
There will be plenty of amusements
for all. A carnival company, with
twelve big shows, will be running in
full blast both day and night, affording
a world of amusement for old and
young.
Let everybody work to make the
coming fair the best county fair ever
held in the Carolinas.
Biliousness is due to a disordered condition
of the stomach. Chamberlain's

intended especially to act on that
organ; to cleanse it, strengthen it, tone
and invigorate it, to regulate tne liver
and to banish biliousness positively and
effectually. For sale by all dealer?.

issue. This firm carries a clean stock

Forced To Leave Home.
Every j*ear a large number of poor
sufferers whose lungs are sore and
racked with ccughs are urged to go to
another climate. But this is costly and
not always sure. There's a better way.
Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you
at home. "It cured me of lung trouble,"
writes W. R. Nelson, of Calamine,
Ark., "when all else failed and I gained
47 pounds in weight. Its surety the
King of all cough and lun? cures."
Thousands owe their lives and health
to it. Its positively guaranteed for
Cough, Colds, LaGrippe, Asthma,
Croup?all Throat and Luug troubles.

:otal amount of taxable values for this
rear are $5,560,112, showing a gain of
