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

dangerously wounded and Special Policeman
