MOUTCaeTOItt :t, of Your Valned Pat TRUSTEES ORGANIZE Meeting In Court House Monday Effected Larg. est Organization in the State. The Lexington County Trustees' as* 30ciation was formed on Monday, when more than halt of the four hundred trustees of the 85 districts of the county met in the court house. The meeting was called to order by Prof. C. E. Wessinger, who was the chief promoter in bringing the trustees together. Mr. Wessinger expressed his gratification at seeing so many of the men who govern the educational system of the county present, and urged greater cooperation, greater effort ana mure enuiutraBui. The first speaker was County Superintendent of Education A. D. Martin. Mr. Martin briefly outlined the progress that had been made in the county during the past year, and told of the needs of our educational system. Mr. Martin did not speak long, giving his time to those who were to follow. Prof. W. H. Hand, head of the high school department of the state, in an able and concise address, showed just what the people of the rural districts as well as those in the towns and cities are doing toward advancing the cause of education. He urged the employment of better teachers, better pay for teachers, more local taxation for the lengthening of the school term and better pay for the ooanoy superintendent of education. He impressed upon the trustees the importance of their positions, and the arduous duties they had to perform. Prof. Hand made one of the strongest appeals ever beard by a Lexington audience. Prof, Hand is a man of pleasing and charming personality, a fluent speaker, and was mostly heartily applauded. Prof. W. K. Tate, supervisor of rural schools, held the attention of the audience for more than an hour. . His was a splendid effort, the suggestions made to the trustees beirife well received. He advocated a change in the selection of school tPistees. He sug-; gesfced that, at the end of eacn school < year, the patrons of the schools meet aud nominate a man for the position, who shall be appointed by the bounty board of education. This, he said, would keep the trustee matter out of politics to a large degree and, at the sam-) time, would keep members of the old board in service. Trustees are qow appointed every two years. Prof. Tate favored local option when it comes to the matter of compulsory education, although, he said, the time was near when the adoption of a state wide compulsory law should be made. At the conclusion of Prof. Tate's address, the election oftemiorary officers *a* entered into. R. G Able, of Stetdman, was elected president and Prof. , D. A. Quattlebaum, of Leesville, sec- j retary. ' Charlie B. Kneece, of Baxter, was 1 elected permanent president by aelamation upon motion of W. H. Sharpe; L. B. Frick, of the Fork, vice president, and D. A Qaattlebaam, of Leesville, secretary. According to Prof Tare, Lexington now has the largest trustees' organizition of any county in the state. To Prof. C. E. Wassineer the credit is due for the success of ^he meeting; and it is hoped that the organization will prove a strong power in the further development of our educational system. t Subccribe to The Dispatch. !

Polite and Pi AS TO Ffitt BRIDGES kJecisionof Supreme Court Before Toll" or "No Top Will Be the Issue. In order that the people of the county might kuow the exact status of the tree bridge situation, a representative of The Dispatch called on Mr. (J. M Etlrd, who is familiar with the entire matter, and asked the following questions: 44 What do you know about free bridges?" He said: 44Not having heard anything from the situation, I took occasion to inquire into it when in Columbia on last WednesdayI first went to see Mr..Cnilds, the chairman 01 tue free hridcre enmmission, and he in formed me that the committee hao reached ail agreement witn the owners of both the Broad river and Congaree bridges and were ready to complete the trade whenever the county commissioners of Kichlaud county furnished them the money voted by Columbia township.". "Why do not the county commissioners of Kichiana lurnisn the lands?'' "To get this information I called first on Mr. Matthews, of the Palmetto National Bank, who I was informed represented the Baltimore people, who made the highest bid for the bonds. He informed me that the lawyers representing the bidders had raised certain legal objections to the bonds wmch it was uecessary to have the courts pass on and if the opinion of the court was favoralle they would tafce the bonds. His opinion was mat there would not be much more delay." " What is the legal status?'' "To find out this, I called on Mr. Clarkson, who represents the coumy commisaioners of Ricliiand coumy. He informed me that tbe questio 8 raised against the bonds by the Bal imore bidders had be?n suumitteu to the Supreme Court more tnan 30 days ago in me form of a petition for a rehearing in tne case oi Verner vs. Muller, wnicn wasdecicei by the Supreme Court on June 14, settling issues there in raised, in favor of the bonds, and that he was looking for an opinion everyday. Mr. Clarkson stated further, that if the opinion of the C urt was in favor of the bonas, which w&a generally conceded, and the Baltimore people found no flaws in the proceedings leading up to the election, tLey would ta&e the bonds at their bid, and he expected the matter eettled very soon." nAofh nf Infant.

Much sympathy for these good people is expressed. > Big Real Estate Deal. One of the largest real ettate deals effected in the town of Irmo was consumated on Monday, when Hamp A.
