Now is the time for all good men to y come to the aid rf the State. * mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmmmmmmmmm Tiere are now more tnan one hundred automobile owners in the connty and every one of them are strong advocates of good roads. It is said that at a certain point on the Broad river the cat fish have not been hungry m a week. ===== v. 1 V By the way, did you ever hear teil of so many marriages in June? Let everybody work for a greater county fair this fall. Now is the time to begin. t All things being equal, we believe - - ? -- u,. that Soutn uaronna snouiu siauu uj Woodrow Wilson for tho presidency in 1912, the statements of Governor Blease to the contrary notwithstanding. It saems to our mind that it is time for a 'dhow down" between the governor and the S ate snpreme court in the matter of ..ppointing special judg es. The crisis is ineviUole; why not now? Surely the Wintbrop college graduates did not object to receiving their diplomas from the governor of South ^Carolina. Why should they? Itmust to ha?e been "you tickle me and I'll tiofcls you" during the good old State dispensary days. For the benefit of those who contemplate plighting their troth during the pleasant month of July, we will say that the Hon. George S. Drafts has a large supply of marriage licenses on hand and the fee is one dollar, invariably in advance. How abont that new school building, you who love yonr town and school? ! ============== B would make mighty interesting reading if some one would compile a list of the graduates who have gone ont from the various institutions of learningin South Carolina this year. ??????? \ It is said' that the South Carolina Press Association took "little old New , York" by storm. Lexington is forging to the front as a progressive town. Soon we are to have electric lights and there are many other signs of progress. Let ns not forget the necessity for another school building. A Citizens Meeting Called There will be a meeting of the citizens in the court home on Thursday, the lpth, at 8:30 p.. m., for the purpose of considering questions relative to a greater school for Lexington. Prof. W. H* Hand, state high school inspector, will be here and will address the maeting. Lexington ought to have a modern school building and a State aided high school. All voters and ladies of the entire district are mo3t earnestly urged to be present. Be sure to- be present. Don't forget place and time. There should be a large turnout of the citizen* of Lexington tomorrow night, when Prof. W. H. Hand, state high school inspector, will make an address in the court ho use on the improvements needed in our schojl. That Lexington needs a greater school no one dare deny. All oyer the State ? he people are waking up to the situa ion and are voting special tax levies tor school purposes. The town of Greenwood only a few day9 ago voted i25,0DD for improvements iu the school building* of that town. Every man ind every woman in this school district should attend the big rally in the court house tomorrow nigbt. Tbe freeing of Dreher's ferry by the eounty board of commissioners, is as it should be. This is one of the most ' important acts of the present beard, and they should receive the thanks of the people who have for so long been paying ferriage. This is only the1 beginning. There should be no barrier between the people of the two eections?the people of the Dutch Fork and the people of this side of the river?and we hope to see all of these barriers removed and fine roads made in the Fork as early as possible. . A Big Success. The ice cream festival and "box party'' given by the ladies of the Methodist church at the hdme of Mrs. B. D. Clarke on Friday evening was a big success. There was a very large attendance and the net proceeds amounted to a handsome sam, which will go toward the furnishing of the new Methodist church. Ice Cream Festival To Be Given at Irene.
