Fitzmauriee's.
Fitzmfiiirice's Three Arch Store, in
Colombia, is just teeming over with
new spring goods. Every department
of this mammoth store is brimfall of
' the season's newest and be9t, and the
prices are already moving them fa9t.
Mr. Fitzmaurice has just returned
from the Northern markets, where he
purchased the greater part of these
? goods himself after making a study of
the new ideas in women's wearing ap

. The Chaingang.
It is announced that Supervisor
Langford will place the chaingang on
the roads of the Fork as eoan as possible,
as he cannot work well over
there in the winter months. It is hi9
? infonrirvn uro nnrtarafatr? pnmlptp
the road from Lexington out by
Cbapin to the Newberry county line.
"This means that the Greenville-Co*
Unmbia highway will pass through
Lexington; for it has heen declared
that this will be equally as near a9 the
other route proposed some months ago.
When this road is finished the gang
v will be moved into the sand bills,
where much effective work will be
* -done. Some times we have thought
it advisable to make two squads of
the gang and letithem work in different;
nnxtfl r?f the ennntxr at, the same
*time. Some counties do this, and
while, perhaps, it would cost little
more, it would be more satisfactory
*to the people, as we are benind other
counties in good roads. You cannot
get them for nothing, and we certainly
r need good roads.

Blease Has Letter
Exposing T. B. Felder
Columbia, March 19.?A bombshell
in the dispensary situation was exploded,
when today a letter was made
public by Governor Blease, the nature
of which letter is sensational in the
extreme, involving the Atlanta attorney,
who was most instrumental in
prosecuting those who were charged
with grafting in the especial field of
co^nrinnr oxridpncp. from which the at
WVVUJL \y t a v>w?> ?. ,
torney general did much of his work.
A letter, which Gov. Biease thinks
.was written by Thomas B. Felder of
Atlanta, offering to frame up a $500,000
deal with H. H. Evans, former
member of the State oispensary board
of control was announced by Gover!
nor Biease today as his ''first grain of
j sand" on the dispensary investigation
situation.
Col. Felder denies that he wrote the
letter, saying it is a forgery. Hub
Evans swears that the letter is genuine
and that he can prove it. He states
also that he has many more of the
same import from the famous Atlanta
| attorney.

j funas for the keeping up and for the !
immediate improvement of the Au- |
gusta road between Lexington and i
