V If the lower end of Gervais street, near the Gongaree bridge, in the city of Columbia, is a sample bf the good j roads of which Bichland county j boaete, good Lord deliver us! i It is eaidiihat the blind tigers of Lexington are still running "open shops" In defiance of the law. What are our odcere going to do about it? What are asr people going to do about it? ????? Governor Blease honored Lexington when he appointed Dr. J. W. Wessinger, of the Fork, to the position of surgeon general on his staff. Dr. Wes singer is one of the leading nnvsioians ' ? of the county and a gentleman in all that the word implies. f. / Now if the new governor will see to it that all officers whose sworn duty it is to enforce the dispensary an prohibition laws performs their duty wi&oni fear or favor there will be no need of . the constables. Put the "screWs" to 'em, "Coley!" The Mends of this paper will please hand us in news items while they are fresh. The Dispatch prefers not to publishTa birth after the child is weaned, a marriage after the honeymoon is over, or the death of a man after his widow has married again. Give us tht sews while it is news. i' ' ' ====== An editor works 865 days in a year to get ont fifty-two issues of a paper, that's labor. Once in a while a sub- | oriber pays a year in advance for n:s paper! that's capital. And once in a ! * while some son-of-a-sea-cockofadead beat takes the paper for two or three i years then j skips out without paying for it, that's anarchy. ;' Goyernor Bleases's inaugural ad* dress was in many respects a most remarkable document. He scored the press and the ministers of the State who saw fit to oppose his, election. Governor Blease, however, can no longer charge the press with not printing "his side'' for ail of the dailies within the State gave his inaugural address a conspicuous place on the y ; frontpage. y We are not all born with the sunshine in our hearts, as the Irish pretnVMBA if Hnf. to ex nan nnlHvat.n a VU J ^/Ul wwv 4V| vw?r WW ? eheerfal sense of humor if we but would try.

A trick !|, of always seeing the brght side, or, if j ^ the thing ha* no bright side, of shining wp the dark one, is a very important faculty and one of the things no one should be born without. M 4 . . rjy". * Governor Blease sent a message to the Legislature yesterday in which he urges that bod/ to appoint a conamittee to investigate every transaction of the winding up commisdvn of the old State dispensary. Tae ice^a^e i-^ one of the strongest ever s^m to the legis.laturo,the governor hoeing to the line on every point. Doubtless a committee of tiii9 kind would teveal many things of vital infcer^t to the prople of the Suite. Let tt.e committee be appointed by all meaus, who cares for expenses? There are events occurring in every commnnity which, if reported in the paper, would create a ssnna-uou little dreamed of. Wuat to report and what not to report often perplexes the editor. He is often jastly accused of cowardice and favoritism, when all the time he is looking: toward the good reputation ? of tho town where his lot is c i*C. The local editor from necessity almost constantly finds himself between two firos, and which ever way he turns he is sn re to be^unjastly treated. Bat, after all, this is one of the pleasures of the newspaper business. This is the season for planting seed, and 'tis also the printers time of need. Sow radish seed, and lettuce too, and fev.- \ m%-.' - '<<y:> g. pay tb&printefc whatever is due. Go build yourself an onion bed and, remember, the printer must be fed. Souseveral rows of early peas and pay for last year's paper, please. Dig up the earth 'round each strawberry vine and if you want The Dispatch drop us a line. Plant some potatoes to put in $he hash and, remember, tne primer is short of cash. 'Fix up a hill or so of beans and with ye editor divide your means. Of watermelons you'll need a patch?the editor's pants needs one to match. Pay up your subscription, then plant your corn and you'll raise a big crop, as sure as you're born. mho Room r>f Rrnnfc land. will remain X UV (A/ TT u V* -w ? ? w in Lexington for at lease another ye ar and everybody is g>ad.
