Dated, April 11th, 1911. THURMOND & TIMMERMAN, Plaintiff's Attorneys. May 1, 191J.?6w31 LOBE DRY 6 E. MOSTCST?! ET, e of Your Valued Pal To the Rural Carriers ot Lexington County. Dear Brother Carriers: I want every carrier and substitute in Lexington county to come to our meeting on the 30th whether belonging to the association or not. There has never been a time in the history of the rural service in which there wa9 so much need of thorough organization as at present. While we have hosts of friends in Congress who are doing everything in their power fnr n?s nnd tfcfi imnrovemfiiit of the service, still there are those who are ever ready to cripple the work in the interest of so-called economy. Every carrier who stands aloof from the association is doing all he can to hinder the success of our work and shows a lack of interest in the upbuilding of the rural delivery service, which is the main object of the association and as such bears the unqualified endorsement of the department officials. We have no programme of invited speakers for this meeting but we ask tnateach carrier come tilled with ideas and suggestions, prepared to make a practical t dk on improvement of the service, methods of securing better roads, the advantages and disadvantages of the different kinds of vehicles for the delivery of the mails, his opinion on parcel posts, and any other matter that intimately concerns us and the service. Postpone for once that big fish or other excursion you may have planned out for that da\T, put aside your private business affairs and devote this one day to mingling with your brother carriers. It will do you good to shake their hand and meet them face to face on matters of common interest. We want to reclaim the banner enrollment for the State and show them that Lexington county means business. It will be a personal disappointment to me if you do not come. W. H. Hare, President, Lex. Co. R. L. C. Association. S Wa monf otmrr rvAotmofltoi" JL ?f W U ?JU U f Vi J |/V/OVUiuwvv& to come also, who can possibly do so. They can help us a great deal. W. H. H. Mr. Westmoreland Furnishes Bond. Having heard that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, Mr. William Westmoreland, of Samaria, came to Lexington on Thursday and gave bond for his appearance at the June term of court. The warrant charges Mr. Westmoreland with adultery and is, no doubt, the result of spite work to a very large extent. The prosecutor in the case ie Isaiah Hall, a resident of Aiken county. It will be recalled that Mr. Westmoreland wa9 tried upon this same charge about six years ago and was convicted. The main point in the case then was whether or not Mr. Westmoreland had remained in the State of Georgia long enough to comply with the divorce law. Since the first trial Mr. Westmoreland has lived in Georgia for a period of three years. He has since remarried and has also taken out new divorce proceedings, complying with every phase of the Georgia and South Carolina laws, it is claimed. Mr. Westmorelaud is one of the best known men in the county, and his friends will regret to learn that he J has been forced to go into the courts again. The ca -e will come up before the grand jury at the June term of court. The T. B. Roach Provision . Company. We wish to direct attention to the advertisement ot the T. B. Roach Provision Company, of Columbia, in this issue. Mr. Roach is president of the new concern. He is well and favorably known to many Lexington people. Merchants will find it to their advantage to call on or write this firm for prices. George Hasty Pardoned. George Ha9ty, the Cherokee county prisoner, sentenced to life, for the Killing of Milan Bennett, an actor, at Gaffnev, December 15, 1905, left the State Penitentiary on Monday a free man. He has been granted an absolute pardon by Governor Cole Blease. Hasty will never be tried for the killing of another member of the same theatrical troupe at the time that Milan Bennett was killed. Thus the pardon granted by Governor Blease ends one of the most sensational cases known in the criminal annal9 of South Carolina. Mr. Sam Blckley Loses Little Flager. Mr. Sam Bickley, engineer at the Casparis Stone Co's., plant, accidentally got the little finger on his right hand caught in the rollers and injured to such an extent that amputation was necessary. The finger was removed by Dr. Wingard and Mr. Bickley is doing well. FOR^ALE. One full blood short horn heifer; bo ready for milk in two months; weighs 780 pounds; price $40.00.

The commencement exercises of the Palmetto Collegiate Institute were inaugurated on -Sunday morning, when the baccalaureate sermon was preached in St. Stephen's Lutheran church, by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Daniel, president of Columbia College, Columbia. The church was packed to iif utmost capacity, and the splendid sermon left an impress upon the hearts and minds of those who heard it which will never be forgotten. The speaker chose for his text a part of the ninth verse of the fifth I * Hi. a T 1_ . i t TTf U ? 4 ? 4.^ ciiapier ui ou lUeUii; vv licit ia lhj name?" Dr. Daniel is a most delightful preaclier, and the masterful message which he brought was delivered with great force and eloquence and com- ? pletely captivated the large congreg*.- I lion. On Monday morning the commencement proper opened with exercises by , the children of the primary department. This is always the most pleasing feature of the commencement, | and the children performed their parts well, reflecting credit upon themselves as well as their teachers. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock another programme, attractive in every detail, was rendered by the students of the higher grades. ' The exercises came to a close yesterday morning with the literary address by Dr. Geo. B. Cromer for several years president of Newberry College, and one of the most brilliant men of the State. Dr. Cromer is a gilted , speaker, and hi9 address was an able one. Next week we shall give a synopsis of his remarks. Following the address of Dr. Cromer the graduating exercises were held. Diplomas were awarded to the following: Reba Catherine Corley, John P. Derrick,Ernestine Elizabeth Hegman, Peter Berley Hendrix, Katherine Ruth Long, John Thomas Sox. Opticians Met in Columbia The largest meeting since organization of the South Carolina Opr.cal Association, some twenty years rgo, was held in Columbia at Wrigru's Hotel, May 17th. The meeting was very interesting and profitable while the social side of the gathering was one of the most pleasing features of the meeting. Twenty new members were elected and fifteen applications for membership were received. The following officers were re-elected for the ensuing year: John T. Wise, Orangeburg, president; W.A.Thompson, Sumter, first vice-president; W. E. Avery, Columbia, second vicepresident; George F. jYIims, Edgefield, secretary; H. W. Carroll, Bennettsviile, treasurer; Executive committee, Gustaf Sylvan, P. H. Lachicotte, Columbia, and R. H. Allen, Charleston. The board of Regents will be composed of W. A. Byers, M. D., H. D. Reese, Columbia, Z. F. Highsmith, Florence, Aaron Odom, Greenville; R. H. Allen, Charleston. The membership committee is A. H. Sehade, Greenville; M. R. Campbell, Anderson and R. F. Peterson, Spartanburg. Several well known speakers were heard upon various subjects relating to the optical business. A number ol new optical inventions were exnibited, foremost of which was an optical machine invented by two Columbians, Mr. B. H. Berkmau and Dr H n. Reese. This machine ki own as the Ocuiumeter was endorsed in u uj the members of the association. Information was received of the death of Dr. L. J. Robbins, a valuable member and officer of the society, at Savannah, Ga. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions to be for warded to his family and also to be 9preaa upon the minutes. Will Advertise For Bridge Bids. The State, 23rc4. A very important meeting of the "free bridge'* commission was held vesttr lay afternoon in the office of the chairman, W. G. Childs. The | other members of the commission are | J. Pope Matthews, Julian B. Friday, Dr. C. L. Kibler and Geo. C. Taylor, secretary. It was decided unanimously to advertise at once for bids in at least, two engineering journals of good repute for bids from bridge building companies, reserving the right, however, to build or not to build as the commission sees fit. ' At the same time the commission will advertise for bids of sale from the owners of the two bridges, the one across the Congaree and the one across the Broad. The members of the commission have talked at length with the owners of these two bridges, and no action will be taken until all possible light on the subject may be obtained. If the old bridges should be purchased it must be only after careful examination of the r?iorH hv ftTrtArfs. hpcanse the increase in traffic expected may require piles that will sustain trolley cars, etc. The commission feels that it i9 now making headway in the settling of a proposition which the Chamber of Commerce has agitated for year3. Say, reader ! If you are in arrears for the Dispatch, we certainly would appreciate the help of your dollar. IT' A fc-G-IE 13, COLUMBIA., S. C. >mpt Attention.
