This is the season when hundreds of
people flock to the health resorts, to
the mountains and to the seashore for
r$st and recreation. In the jlsle of
Palms South Carolina undoubtedly
has the finest beach on the Atlantic
coast. "If I conld get my people?
the people of the north?to belieye
that it is as cool down here as it really i
isj the management of this hotel would
I I have to tribble its capacity in less
than a week. This is the finest place I
haye ever visited and I have been to j
many of the leading resorts and seashore
towns of the country." This
statement was made by a
gentleman from Chicago, a guest at
the Seashore Hotel on the Isle of
Palms to the writer a few days ago.
And this gentleman expressed the sen timents
of practically every person
whp has visited this famous beach
this season. There is a facination
about the Isle of Palms over all other
summer resorts?the longer you stay
the longer you want to stay. It was
with difficulty that our party was in- j
disced to return home.
The Seashore Hotel, under the management
of Messrs. Dub & Clar cay, is
earing for the crowds in royal fashion,
and no better hostelry is to be found
in the United States. The management
is alreary contemplating the
erection of additional buildings in order
to meet the demands of next season.
For those seeking rest the Seashore
hotel is a haven.

P Mes may be secured at reasonable
m eost. The best fishing territory lies
about eighteen miles from the Island,
and these trips are most enjoyable.
livery member of the Lexington
party is planning to go to the Isle ot
I Palms and the Seashore Hotel again.
fe A recent dispatch from Colombia

K The Dispac this not interested in the
I location of the new ten thousand dolI
lar school buildi g farther than to see
ifc placed upon ue\y, grounds?grounds
' that will be in keeping with the progressive
spirit which prompted the
citizens of the district in voting for
^ the new school house. We are assured
that the new building will not
be erected where the present building
I now stands* and that is * 'satisfaction
tons." We understand that the trustees
haye under consideration- two
| sites, either of which will be satisfactory
to The Dispatch, and either of
which will make attractive school
irrrmnrts Thp Dianateh is not a "die
I III - * *1ator," but we felt it our duty to
champion a new site in the iuterest of
the people, in the interest of the town,
and in the interest of education. We
% ; i
jeave the selection of the site to the !
hoard of trustees, having the utmost
V/ .confidence in their determination to do
vwhat is right. ^ !

thi9 growth will be? hindered unless

f Hon. W. H. Sharpe, who presided
oyer the big educational and farmers'
meeting at Edmund on Saturday, is
one of the best presiding officers in
the county. Always a happy speaker,
Mr. Sharpe was at his best, and, being

of the community, what he had

and pleasure.
I' The Picnic Yesterday.
St. Stephen's Lutheran Sundayschool
held its annual nicnic at Mathi
as' Mineral spring yesterday, the attendance
being unusually large. Despite
the warm weather the occasion
was much enjoyed.
The Southern Railway is paying in
to the treasury of LexiDgton county
for school purposes ah immense sum
of mouev each year?more than any
other one agency in the county. The
Southern has adopted the policy of
lending its aid and influence in the
promotion of any undertaking which
has as its object the betterment of the
masses. In this the Southern is to be
commended; for in advancing the
peoples interests it promotes its own.
Let everybody get on the progressive
band-wagon?the wagon that has
carried so many other towns to the
fmnfi. Lextmrton is the best situated
of all the courthouse towns in the
State to go forward. Let na make er'
ery thing so attractive to the homeseeker
that those who want to move
will move this way. 1i the course of
events?and we yenture the assertion
that it will not be long?many Colombians
will be living in Lexington and
conducting their business, in Columbia*
Twelve miles over good road
. Count for little to the business who
owns an aatomobile. Already Columbia
is refering to Lexington as one of
its suburbs. With free bridges in the
near future, linking Lexington and
Columbia closer together by the ties
of friendship, Lexington, the pictureesque
village that she is, cannot but
grow and blossom as the rose. Work
for Lexington and watch her grow!
