Man's inhumanity to man has made
countless millions mourn.
"Lord, ?ive us men in times iiKe
these" is very applicable just now.
Many New Year resolutions have
already been broken.
Lexington has the best town council
in America. 'Nough said.

and let other people's alone dur.

/ Not a single murder was committed
in Lexington connty during the happy
season just closed. There is a reason.
It is to be hoped that the next legislature
will pass a State-wide prohibition
bill and at the same time wipe
oat the so-called social clubs.

It is reported tliat bliadtigers arc
plentiful in the incorporate limits of
the town of Lexington. Oar officers

A magistrate of Barnwell county, a
close personal friend and a warm political
advocate of Gov-Elecfc Blease,
will administer the oath to the new
governor when he is sworn into office
on the 17th of January.

jt is rumored that a dispensary will
; be established at Ballentiue, in the
Fork, as soon as that town becomes a
part of Richland. Maybe that is the
reason the people of that section were
\ so anxious to go to Richland.
?-- '
Tbe erection of a monument to the
memory of "Granny" Corley should
appeal most to the people of Lexington;
for it is here that two churches
stand, together with tbe court house,
as living testimonials oi the true
worth oi this beloyed woman.

If you want to begin the New Year
right send in your subscriptions to the
- monument fund. Remember that every
little helps, and the small amounts
will be appreciated as mach as the
large ones. Yon don't have to pay it
now; just say how much yon will give
towards this worthy cause and yoor
name will be published.
i
Stand np for the right, as God giveth
us the light to 9ee the right, and
to fight the wrong with all the ardor
of oar being, let the consequences be
what they may, is going to be the
standard of The Dispatch during 1911.
^ow is a good time to sabscribe.

x\> ib saia. &nat governor Ansel win {
\ not again ask the legislature for an
appropriation to make improvements 1
in the governor's mansion. Doubtless t
the governor remembers fall well that
the Hon. Coleman L. Bleaae has always
declared that the "Old Mansion"
was good enough for him. '
*, The number of homicides committed
in South Carolina and throughout the
country daring the Christmas holidays
is indeed appalling. Most of them is
aid to have been attributable directly
or .indirectly to strong drink. In the
face of all this, it is surprising that so
? r -* * ....
g* -umdj i,?en-proi?asing enrwaans wtil
stand np and cry oat, "People are go>
rog to have their liqoor and jtm jtret
as well let them have it?" without
even raising their voices asmmst it.
Would to God that the women of the
land could get a chance to vote!
It was the pleasure of fiditor G. M
Harman to spend the Christmas holidays
with friends in Washington. He
was certainly treated royally and the !
hospitality of these good people will j
long be remembered as -one of the
most pleasing events of his life. T2<e
city folk were joyous and gay, the \
crowd immense, due to the large J
number of holiday visitors, and the j
home-coming of relatives to spend tfhe j
happy season. To mingle with these i
crowds certainly broke, the monotony
of a country editor's life and caused j
new life and vigor. j
While In Washington he stopped ftt !

ments; the ro^rus nicely furnished;
private dining parlors and the cuisine
grand. The editor felt greatly honored
by the kindness of the m mager,
who turned on the beautiful light-* in
the German Rathskeller for his wel
corned guest from South Carolina
Thi9 famous hotel-cafe is located on
Penn. Ave., N. W. Mr. H. Archter
kirchen is proprietor and a jolly host.
Go there when you visit Washington.
Tlie trip will linger long in our
inomory as being one of the most enjoyable
and pleasant of our lives.
Washington is great !
An Unmarked Grave.
In Saint Stephen's churchyard, Lexiugton,
S. 0., in the quiet city of the
dead, there is an unmarked grave of a
person whose benefactions wl.ile living
should cause the manhood of Lex
iagfcon county to assert i self and
erect to her memory a monument tnat
will tower above every monument in
this beautiful burying ground. It is
the crave of "Granny" Corley, a woman
with as true and as brave a heart
&9 ever beat within the human breast
-?the woman who, we are told, gave
the land upon which now stands the
Lexington court house; who gave the
land for the old Lutheran church, the

cemetery where she now lies slumbering
with the dead, was also donated
by her. These are living monuments
of her worth?these speak more for
herYnan all that can be said or written
by one who is not familiar with
her life and character^ but the fact
remains, nevertheless; that her grave
today remains unmarked. Would it
not therefore be fitting at the beginning
of this New Year to start a movement
for the rearing of a monument
to the memory of thi9 benefactress?
We believe that the men and women
of this grand old county will not permil

we believe that there are enough men
and women in the county who will
take pride enough in this undertaking
to push it to a successful conclusion
with but little effort.
Believing, as we do, that this call
will meet with the hearty approval of
the citizens of the county who feel an
abiding interest in our magnificent
court house and our beautiful public
square, The Dispatch is going to conduct
a popular subscription fund for
the erection of a monument to the
grave of this noble woman. We are
going to publish from time to time
the names of those who subscribe, ton?ftfV?wrifK

communications bearing upon this
subject should be addressed to him.
1911.
With this issue of The Dispatch we
enter into the new jear nineteen hundred
and eleven. Old Father Time
has turned his big year-wheel again
and brought U9 to another mile post
on the road that leads to the land of
shadows. That road In the past has
wound over hills and valleys, sometimes
through dark and tangled wildernesses.
sometimes through fields !
of golden grain and lactone fruits, j
sometimes through gardens of flower-9
kissed by the morning son and nourished
by the morning dews. But always
the road has lead on and on and
on, with no indications of terminating
this side of the eternal Beyond. But
there are resting places along this
road where we may pause and renew
our wasted strength, gather fresh energies
for the yet uncompleted jourBey
and fresh cheer and strong hopes
for the part that remains. We hay?
jr.sfc past one of these stations?a station
which has 6tcod through many
generations and has always furnished
comfort and good cheer to the weary
pilgrims of earth.
The year just closed be* been an
eventful one, as all years are. They
are made up of events?events in the
life of nations, cities, towns, communities,
and individual men and women.
Many things have happened which we
could wish had been otherwise. Many
homes have been da* kened by death,
among them our own; many hearts
have bees made desolate because
loved ones have gone away to return
no more; many cherished hopes and
plans in every walk of life hare been
blasted and thwarted; but ell these
things must need? be. They are now
"gone glimmering through the dream
of things that were/* It may be thair
they were all for our good; we cannot
discern the purposes of oor all-wire
Creator, and what may seeni to as as
a misfortune, may be in reality a
blowing In disguire?jogt as the raven,
the blackest of all birds, was cboeen
by the Heavenly P^her to oonvey
food to Elijah in the wilderness. The
present only ia oor* to do with as wo
choose, and ic w cup doty to do the
best we can, to use in the right way
all the euargie* and powers of heart
and of mind with which the Oreat-or
has endowed as, and then leave the
rest to the Higher' Power which directs
our footsteps and controls ortr
destinies.
The Dispatch appreciates most high
