To Remove Poles. The Southern Bell Telephone Co., will shortly commence the removal of the telephone poles from Main street 1 in the town of Lexington. This is in j keeping with the long established policy of the Southern officials and is as it should be. Lexington being on the line of two important highways, many automobiles daily pass mruugu wwu, and it has reached the point where \ the danger is donbly increased. There \ has already been one accident caused by an automobile coming in contact with a telephone pole in the upper end of town. The car, a handsome Regal, had just arrived from the factory. It wa3 completely wrecked, bringing heavy loss to the owner. It is indeed remarkable that more accidents have not happened. It is indeed gratifying that these dangerous obstructions are soon to be removed. Hie Election Tomorrow. The people of Lexington school district have a arest opportunity before them. A mod* rn school building and *state-aided high school will be of vast and an told benetiu not only to every family with children in it, bat to every property owner in the district. We cannot afford to be without these improvements. The eyes of the jrorld are upon as. If we are not progressive, everybody knows it, and 'we get no sympathy. If we do not keep pace with other places, we will be left hopelessly behind. The school has outgrown the old bailding. The present building has served its day. The school will not and cannot be what it should without modern equipment. There would be need of con' atu) roTvaJra f; 1 f hp nW SQUtlf 9UU1UUUO OUU . bunding, and then we would have nothing better than an unsightly arrangement. Unquestionably the correct thing to do is to vote the bonds and erect a modern building of whicb yeiybody will he justly proud. The school is worthy of it. .And we can do it and nobody feel the burden ven perceptibly When it is done everyone will be proud of it. Just now the great question is, what are we going to< do about it? The bu9inese-J&e thing to do is for each of us to do our duty and vote for this necessary improvement. Every voter should weigh the matter carefullj7 and be sure that he does not cast a stone in the way of progress. Let ns all put our shoulders to the wheel and stand and push together and all rote in favor cf the new building r nd for the state-aided high school, jnow is me time to act and let as all act wisely. We cannot by any means afford to let this opportunity pass. If we should be so unfortunate it would kill the energies of those who are working for the upbuilding of our community. Tfee election will be held in the eonrt hohfee tomorrow,, the polls to open at 8 oiclock in the morning and closing at 4 o'clock m the afternoon. Your tax receipt and registration certificate will be required. The Cbarire scon - A s h e vill e autorao-, bile highway should come by Lexirgfcoo. This is by far the most feasible ate and the Lexington members of the automobile association should use their best efforts to secure the road, which is already practically assured. It may be a few miles farther, but the difference is easily made np in the better condition of the road. Besides, Lexington has one of the most complete and up-to-date automobile shops in the State, an advantage over the other ronte. Lexington county farmers are, as usual, supplying Columbia with ninetenths of the fruits, vegetables, chickens, etc. The market is good for fancy frnit; vegetables are scaroe and high, while there ha* been a considerable slump in the price of chickens and eggs, the supply being ve-v heav.. Some of the finest vegetables ever < seen in the city ire grown by Lexington farmers. Mr. W. T. Huffman, proprietor of the Dutch Fork farm, is said to have the finest tomatoes on the market and his other vegetables are fine also. Mr. Hnff nan is certainly a J model track farmer. } . . i i Notice ot Election tor High School Bonds* A petition, signed by one-third of the resident electors and a like proportion of the resident freeholders of the age of twenty-one years of Lexington School District No. 3, having been filed with the Board of Trustees of said district, asking for an election in said District for the issuance of coupon - "* *?
