| The Lexington Dispatch c H Wednesday, JULY12,1911. i G. 31. Habman, Editor and Publisher D.B. Haltiwanqeb, Assistant Editor. Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. O., as second class matter. (REGULATION 2.3UU. i( ZTotioo Sufcspribora, A BedX on your paper denotes your I subscription expires in the issue crossed. A Blue X shows that you are in arrears. Please make settlement. tOtT" Th ose subscribers who are in arrears will please bear in mind that I ie printer is ever in need of his dues, and that we will appreciate an early remittance. An Iowa editor was asked, "Do hogs pay?" He replied: "A good many do not; they take the paper several years and then have the postmaster send it back marked "refused" or "gone K;'-'. west." 1 & ' Yes, it is the little things that hurt. ' A common every-day measly little fly j will make an orthodox Christian f p swear forty-seven strokes to the minute, while if the same man bad his ' 9 head taken off by a July tornado, he J t wouldn't say a word. ====== 6 City Fathers! Hofrors! Can't we have one little pnmp or well in the ? business section of our town where weeanget water? We respectfully i - - -1 f call your attention to the conuiuon ui the pomp on Main street. A few c hours work or a few dollars expended 3 on a new pomp is all that is needed. a ======= j Let ns stand by our schools. Let us set forth their examples. They create a desire for knowledge. They teach 3 the equality of a.l American citizens } In them the rich and poor stand upon a the same level. They u.iify the com- r ing oitizens of the latiou. They exhalt 0 the brotherhood of the nation, and a create sympathy between heart and ^ heart. t r>\. - a Nothing pays better than good roads. It costs something to secure * them, but they are the. arteries which * connect city ai.d country, along which ji the currents of perpetual comfort flow. ? 1 Bad roads, full of chuck holes, kill i time, te8m and temper. Money the* $ expended intelligently is wisely in- J vested and is sure to bring abundant ? results. - - A ' a: The only honorable and honest waj h to stop a newspaper is to step into the ai office and pay up all arrearage, get a ai receipt and have your name stricken fr from the list. To fire your paper back P1 at the publisher marked ''refused' I when you owe for six months or a *y< yea^. and never go near the office is te cot only disreputable but superlatively hishonest as well. == ? In a great* aaeasnre the commercia' of standing of a town is reckoned by the su number and walbe- of its business fai enterprises; its moral staDdiDg by the number and power of its institutions ce exerting a good i'nffcience as opposed S to those exerting a bad. These things being trne, it should' be the intent of ^ every citizen of a place to encourage r j, such enterprises as tena to make the ^h place better; for a toipn is greatly what aI Vl?*CU3 lXi<SA.C- It* JQ Ci Many persons feel offended because m their comings and goings a^re-not raer- aE tioned while those of others are, and jg wonder what the matter can ^e. The explanation of the matter is- that the er editor means to be impartial,. but some escape mention. The likes and dis- ra likes of an editor have nothing to do with it, and while it is not pretended that the editor is not more than human, he knows that the success of his aj journal deoends upon his impartiality to all. It is the best plan when a notice i9 desired to mention it to the edic< tor, or communicate through the post- , office. No one feels worse about any i . , n seeming neglect or partial perform- ^ ance of duty thaa the editor himself. f< Ha?

Felder, of Atlanta, was the Fourth of July orator at Dublin, Ga., and in the course of his remarks took occasion to pay his respects to Gov. Blease. According to the Atlanta papeis, Col. Felder was enthusiastically received by a large crowd. Quite a number from ? nam o in atltnmobiles to be a uiovauvv StM v ? present at the barbecue, Macon sending a large delegation. The barbecue was held under the auspices of the Dublin chamber of commerce, and was the first public function by that body. Col. Felder said: "I am unable to restrain a natural impulse to refer to an episode in my life of recent occurrence, which has brought me into unpleasant notoriety. If in doing so I trench upon the proprieties of the occasion, I plead in ex cuse and extenuation the fact that I Brave above all things the continued sonfidence and friendship of the peo- j pie of Laurens county. It is not my purpose to tax audiences with the desails of the episode, but I merely desire so briefly advert to it that you may juderstand that I shall in the end re?:? -ovxrt f>io trplnome .r>landit. ;eivc nuui ;w? vuv < W>11 done, thou good and faithful lervanfc." 1'About four years ago I was em >loyed by the State of South Carolina o assist her splendid attorney genera' n the Herculean task of cleaning oui ler Augean stable9 of their filth and lorruption. I feel that I can modestly ay that the task wa9 not only honoribly and creditably performed, but the ervices met with the approval of the est people of the state, resulting in he restitution to the treasury of thai raft-soaked and graft-ridden people >f approxi irately half-million dollars, nd in the indictment by the grand ju ie9 of the several counties thereof ol aore than a half score ef the thieves ,nd plunderers. "In the last gubernatorial electioD he criminal element of that state sue eeded in electing one of their numbei a the governorship. I am in possesion of evidence, written and oral, rhich in my opinion, would not on!} istify but demand his impeachment, f I could read in this presence the undreds of letters from tho good but raft-ridden people of that once glori us commonwealth in which then reatest acknowledgements are tenered and their prayerful God-speed e re wished me in the great work at and in ridding them of 'this moral od political leper, his confederates ad allies, I am sure I would receive om this audience such shouts of aproval as would make the welkin ring, will detain yon long enough to read >u extracts from a few of these lefcrs." OoL Folder then read as follows: "The offense which you have comitfced, -which is grievious in the sight our present governor, is the great : ccess you have attained iD exposing 1 m and his friends in crime." "Have read with interest the pro- j edings iD the controversy between >urseif and our vagabond governor. ; j ... I want to say- that with j ub Evans, Blease and Fred Dominiok :?hr. in Newberrv. and in control of ings there, they eonld convict most lyoody they wanted to by picking a ry and the plunderbund of So nth 1 irolina, knowing that yon are the j an, will go to any extent in perjury j Ld forgery to convict you, and Blease j making every effort to discredit you j this state and thus attempt to weak- j l the evidence yon produce against i ra by declaring upon the ignorant ! ,bbie that he had you prosecuted for i ibery .... Gov. Brown's resal to honor Blease's requisition is ?artily approved by eyery decent law aiding citizen of South Carolina." "Permit me to say that while I do 3t approve of all yoo have said and me in this matter, yet it i9 impossile to escape the conviction that yon ow hold in your hands very largely , le fate of South Carolina for the next j }w years at least. It is to be > pre- I imed that you fully appreciate the i ravity of the responsibility which by sason of circumstances rests upon you t this time. There may not be with on the 9ame motive that would move citizen of this state, but many are oping fch^t you will jusi ify the coniience placed in you by our people. "la conclusion permit me to say that you can induce the reprobate who ccupie9 the governor's chair to accept our challenge (which tke good people f South Carolina feel sure you will ever be able to do) to sue you for liel, it will give rnc pleasure to furnish on a list of 500 of the most promineut tizens residing in every portion of outh Carolina who will cheerfully vear that they know the general laracter of Blease, that his character bad and from a knowledge of his iiaracter ttey would not believe him a oath." , I e ?^ Stioes!
