The Dispatch received this morning ?too late for publicatioD||this week? a c >py of tbe resolution* adopted at the indignation meeting held at Ckapin on last Saturday. We will publish the same next week. Whynotcallit the Columbia-Lexington-Newberry-Greenville highway? fc ' We admire the governor's forgiving spirit, but pity hi9 judgment. "His Fraudalency," is the latest name given Governor Blease by Thos. B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney. V It begins to look like South Carolina i9 9onn to be the "laughing stock" of the nation. I ' , ~ Good roads is the slogan, and no _ connty io the State is making greater progress in the building of roads than Lexington. Let the good work continue. ? "Whatever else may be said of him he is a Christian, and has shown that heiiba man with a soul." Thus pleads Noijon W. Brooker, of Columbia, in a lengthy article in defense of the governor iu the News and Courier of Monday. ThU article was evidently written before the governor's alleged remarks to the chief justice of the State Supreme court on Saturday night. * Now is th t ime for everybody to be gin workiiu . or a greater county fair. ! TheLexi;? jq. County Fair has hi- ! ways stood at the head of county fairs, a .1 .bisa duty we owe to ourselves i aeep it there. There wjill be j many t improvements made during the next months in the way of buildin? , etc., and the management should receive the support and co-operation of the people of the entire county. It is gratifying to learn that the Columbia-Newberry-Greenville highway is to come by Lexington. That this route will be chosen there seems to be ! but little doubt. Col. Elbert H. Aull, j , of Newberry, who is taking a yery active interest in the matter, stated I while here cn Friday that this is by far the best and most feasible ronte. This highway will mean much to this county. It cannot help but create more interest in the development of all our roads, and that is what is needed. Anything that tends to arouse the people to the importance of better highways will redowu to the county's lasting good. The proposed highway will run through the town cf Chapin by way of the new steel bridge at Wyse's Ferry. Col. Aull stated that this road is now in excellent condition, and was warm in his praise of the good work done by the chaingang at the new Steel bridge. Many Pardons Granted. Gov. Blease continues 10 me his * pardoning power lretly. Four parscions were given convicts on Saturday ..and two on Monday. Among those .pardoned on Saturday was W. O. Carpenter, who killed Preston Yonce, a young white man in Edgefield county " many years ago and who was sent* nc.ed by Judge Norton to serve the remainder of his life in the State penitentiary. The crime for which Carpenter was eonvicted was ons of the most brutal in the annals of the State, young Yonce being an exceptionally quiet and harmless boy. T ^ I. I'UKJ Barytes in Paint* There is endles3 discussion about ba- j ryte9 in paint. Perhaps tnis bettles , the question. Two houses exactly alike at Delhi, N. Y; the owner of both is Mr. N. Avery. One was recently painted Devoe; the other with a barycts paint; Same painter did both jobs; his name is George Gilbert. One cost $27; the other The " ' ' o t->iA rit.lit'V 12.
