The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, August 30,1911. i G M. Harm an, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwanger, Assistant Editor. Bntered at tne Post Office at Lexington, S. O., as seoond class matter. \ CIRCULATION 2.300. . 1 Notice Subscribers, A Bed X on your paper denotes your subscription expires in the issne crossed. ' A Bine X shows that yon are in arrears. Please make settlement. By the way, what has become of Ool. Thqmas B. Felder? Who said that Sam Leaphart and Xiem Sox bad the hookworm? V Lexington leads ail other towns in pretty girls. i ^ All roads lead to Lexington?the garden spot of the universe. | For "first-class" barbecues, Lexington county is in a class by herself. ,r v* Lexington should tribble her population until the next census, and she will if every bo iy will wc rk together. ?= Lexington will soon be as a city set upon a hill?the electric lights are coming. ? When the telephone' poles are removed from Main street Lexington will have the prettiest street of any 4own in the State. Now see! ' ? i'V / There has not been any sensational JhaDDennings around the State capitol daring the past week?so far. as has been reported. Gov. Blease is evidently taking a rest. > Did yon ever go out of your way to ' ?peak to or make happy an aged man or woman? If you did you know how much the act was appreciated, and you are forever rewarded with the memory of their smiles and happiness. The^ husband, who honestly tries to be kind and gentle to his wife and seeks to please and cheer her up, does . s mot come into the house with muddy tshoes and does not lean his head back *tgaiB9t the wall; and his wife wouldn't Stand 3uch conduct, unless she was a9 untidy as h9r husband. It has been stated by Postmaster General Hitchcock that the federal postal establishmpnt will become selfsustaining before the close of another tfiscalyear. If this can be accomplishted,; penny postage for firstelass mail iwill become a fact. Indeed, Mr. Hitchcock is almost prepared to assert tbstbno cent .postage is in sight as a practical business proposition. Some of -our regular readers may feel inclined to criticise us for carry< iog so many advertisements. Even if wo wnnlH nr?h the monev COmintT from these we would nevertheless insert one and all, and that for vy J tour readers' own benefit. A keen and thorough newspaper reader will study the advertisements as well as the editoriaJs. These * two departments of jyonr newspaper-are the most helpful .intellectually. The "ads" especially i r.wftl Inform you what commercial ?*piogre88 is being made in your own ^community. They contain a great deal of information* not found in the news columns. Read them, and you *; will be surprised. * . : Just a word to our subscribers. The cotton season is here?the season when nearly everybody has money (except the newspaper man), and : right at the beginning of this season * ? we want to impress upon our subscrib<*.. ecs, especially those who make it s : irole to settle for their paper wben they sell cotton, that we will greatly appreciate their remembrance this ; year. We have always made it a ruh . to accommodate our friends?our sub > ecribera?Dy carryiDg tneir suuscnp. tions through the summer months, * However, the postal laws will not ali low us to carry a subscription ovei "Oneyear; and this, of course, forces ms to stop many papers that we would otherwise be glad to continue. We hope, then, that every subscriber will bear us iQ mind wfcei they sell theii first bale of new cotton. It is indeed refreshing to know thai the county board of commissioners . will soon erect another steel bridge across the Saluda river. We rejoke in the fact that the county is in a most prosperous condition; that the , people every where, from one end oi ing a season of unprecedented prosperity. Our larmers are learning not to complain over small matters; and, ijappilv, we are coming into our own. Lexington is just now getting to the point where she should have been several years ago. This is a progressive age?an age of improvements in ail lines of industry?and Lexington is keeping pace with the sister counties in this wonderful and rapid development. When this bridge is completed let us keep going forward as rapidly as our finances will permit until every bridge and ferry in the county is made free. *' v New Advertisement. * " I -> - tU. Attention is canea to we au v ci noument of D. E. Hanpmond, of Gilbert, in this issue. He carries a complete line of general merchandise?everything to be found in a flrstclass store.
