If you want to help make Lexington go forward, cast your vote for electric lights next Tuesday.

Lexington and Columbia will soon i , 'be joined together by the ties of steel, and ther'll be no tolls to pay. The Columbia Chamber of Commerce and the two daily papers are all doing a great work for the Capitol city. ' The Hub T. *ns case has been put off for the u.ird time at .Newberry by reqbeM v i the State. Hub wants, to come ic trial and it seems to us that he &hou\. nave what he wants. ? Coi.

XTnm tuVin opo iron crnincr f"0 holipTA? i?*v;vu ============= The automobilists of Columbia, Lexington, Leesville and Bateaburg, have subscribed $300 for the immediate imA provemenfcof the Augusta road between Lexington and Colombia. Justanother evidence of the importance of automobiles to the country. . > , ' j 1 1 &, v -' j It is needless for os to diacnss the . electric light proposition. Acting Mayor B. H. Barre has covered the ground very thoroughly 121 a card else' where in this issue, and the people can see for themselves just what they 1 are going to get. In our opinion it is the greatest opportunity the people of ' Lexington have ever had to do some* thing for the development and farther advancement of the town. Let everybody work and vote for the lights in next Tuesday's election. Remember that your taxes will not be raised one single penny. Card from Acting 1 m m t> - wayor carre. Single there seehls to .be a desire / ' - among some of the poople for arc , ' lights on the streets of Lexington in. r stead of the incandescent lights a9 de- ( cided upon by the Council I wish to ] give yoa the comparative costs of light- , ing by the two systems. We have investigated the matter i pretty thoroughly since having the j matter under consideration and Ime \ decided that the proposition offered ] - 'yon comes nearest suiting our' needs v . and at the same time comes within the ] vtlimits of the amount the town is able ( * to pay for street lighting. Should tbe arc stem be installed it would take between 25 and30 arc lights v to light the town faii.y well, which at a cost of $72.uO per light per year would "jamount to between $1,800. and $2,160. 'a per year, which amount is more than *we can afford to pay. Regarding the /j>rice of $72.CO per light per year will say that I understand that Leesville is now paying the rates of $84.00 per light 1 per year lor the same class of lighting. Regarding the tights ^on which we have decided i oeg to^say that they are a comparatively new tight and are highly recommended by the General ?3ecuvic Co., The Westinghouse Elec^ric & Oo., and by Prof. W. M. tfcggs of Clemson College, so that we set sore the/ wiH give the desired uirvnt of illumination. And, regard* ing tbe lights, I will say further that tbe proposed company na* ordered one of the larger sizes of there lighvs and as soon as it comes will connect it to , the sm di generator at the Lexington Supply Co. so.tnat we may all see how j -t ?Ii irive. aad know just j UlV'vU M.... .. ? w.''at v;e are getting, before we finally I si^n up the contract. Silo all yoa, by your vote, aut.hori: e the Council to make this contract for street lighting the $1,200. per yeur will be rhe totai cost <o the town for lighting, all installation cost and expense of I" * . t ! [style : Quality j| Workmansl These Three Esser in the Clotl We Sell the Very Be and FURf Our Spe 1 Made-to-mea E. G. Orel Lexlnton, m wwwwwwwwwwww* repairs, etc., to be paid by the proposed company. But, on the other hand, should you reject the proposed contract it will be necessary for the Council to spend a p?rt of the 10 mill levy in purchasing new lamps for Main Street, and another p;rfc of the levy for maintaining same. So that from this it wonld seem that the best proposition is to light the whole town for a fixed amount, rather than to iignt omy a ve^y small part of it at an indefinite amount, which might not, with installation and maint?ining, fail far short of : lighting the entire town under the j proposed contract.
