Dispatch. " \ A .. . i ?&. " ' Lexington, the town with a future. IK-V. Isn't it refreshing though? The saying that "eyery dog has his day'' is as true as the ages. The old ship of state is rocking steadily onward. We are not iu a mood to get off any spring poetry these days. "Lord, give us MEN in times like these." Truth crushed to earth will rise again. ? By the way, has anybody seen anything of the town's, boardj of health inspector? ' The Sweet Girl Graduates and June . brides will soon be plentiful. Lexington will furnish her quota 6f both. We want to see some member of the Lexington Chanty Boys' Corn Club 0 beat Jerry Moore to a frazzJe?raising SPC corn. E1* LexingtoD is no place for the law|less. It is the duty of every citizen ?. who loves de'-ucy, law and order, to ? stand by t"?u officers and aid them in their effort - to nphoid the strong arm jp of the lav.. Ka If it: necessary for the State to | i. borrow half million dollars to meet j the expenses of running the govern- 1 ttfiflK, now much would it have been necessary for it to borrow had Gover- ^ ii t nor Blease not vetoed all those bills? | We notice that the supervisor of , Lexington is at woik on the ColombiaLexington-Newberry-Laurens-Gr eenville highway, but that he is still on ( > the road between Lexington and Co- e Jumbia. We would be glad to have " bim get on the line between L9xing - ton and Chapin, and hope that be will be there very soon.?Newberry Her " id and .News. Don't get impatient, Colonel! State Press Association will meet in Colombia this year on May SL, and on Jane 1 and 2. It promises to be the largest attended as well as the most enjoyable meeting ever held by the association.

Tne ^aewspapar man who tries to perform his duty to the puolic,. regardless ot friend or foos has a hard road to tr&v/ bL What's the netd to have town oidiCr ^ nances i:' they are not to be enforced? If the ordinance limiting the speed ci automobiles to twelve miles an boia had been enforced on Sunday and ev. ery violator fined the minimum of ten . dollars, the town'^reasary would have had its shecklts increased by several V hundred dollars. Do cot the town need the money? Or are we just getting into the "high-falutir." class? ^ iBank You, Doctor! c A In remitting for his paper, Dr. D. E. Stnrkie, of Kor:b, S. C., R. F. D. 3, ^ writes r S "I amgla4 to note the progress that your town is making, especially as to rp the installation of electric lights. 1 Your slogan no doubt is, 'More light,' U which is a yery laudable one." Thank you. doctor! We are coming to the front as sure as the sun turns ^ A little mine ^?t?-rt. -i lif;b? more cooperation, and a strong pull altogether j is all that is needed. I Not A Sentimentalist. Evidently Governor Joseph M. Brown of Georgia i9 not a sentimentalist. He has refused to grant a pardon to Thomas Edgar Stripling, for- | mer chief of police of Danville, Ya., whose petition tor pardon contained more than eight thousand names. The governor states that he would not have granted the pardon had the peti tion containea a nunarea tames eignt thousand. In refusing tbe pardon, Goyeraor Brown says among other things: "One of the most dangerous evils menacing our institutions is lawless* ne9s," declared the Governor; "the mob executing in wild disorder its victim and the individual wreaking his own revenge for wrongs, real or imaginary, the roan or interest treating with contempt the laws of the' land and trusting to gold or 'influence* for . safety, are striking manifestations of i - 1 _ 11 tills spine or lawlessness.-While expressing profound sympathy for Stripling's family and high respect for the impulses which prompted his friends to apply for a pardon f< r him, Governor Brown says that sym| pathy and personal friendship have no ; right to supplant an oath-bound duty to execute the laws of Georgia, "Above the roiling tide and obscuring fog of sympathy and emotions, we cannot fail to see the rock of the record which shows that Thomas Edgar Stripling, by a jury of his peers, was convicted of the murder of a fellow man," continued the governor; "ihat he afterward violated ^second law of Georgia, by breaki ig jail and fleeir g to another State, and that, enmeshtd in the complications of his crime, his own brother-in-law, Terrell Huff, was smt to the prison, within which he was confined at hard labor, until through doubts as to his guilt, he was set free on recommendation of the prison commission* I greatly regret, therefore, that under the conditions, I do not feel justified in interrupting in this case the due process cf law." Praises Sheriff Corley. Newberry Observer. Good for Sheriff Corley of Lexington county. If all officers of the law were like him there would be fewer blind tigers, less drunkenness and a better state of affairs generally. Jadge Watts at Greenwood on Satur- I iiy refused to order Magistrate Keir j bo vacate his office. His reason was ishat the title to the office was in ques- i tion and he cpuld not try that question cinder the pleadings. Kerr is holding Dver on the ground that the appoint neat of Canfield by the governor to ? succeed him was not legal, not being i "with consent of the senate".
