, . . Ike Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, September 13,1911. ? o M. Habman, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwangkb, Assistant Editor. Bxttered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. G., as second class matter. CIBCULATION 2,300. I Notice Subscribers, A Red X on yonr paper denotes your Bnbseription expires in the issue crossed. A Blue X shows that you are in arrears. Please make settlement. It is to be hoped that South Carolina may yet come into her own. r.. < With Chief Justice Ira B. Jones pitted against Cole L. Blease, the race for governor rfbxt summer will be a spicyone. Governor West, of Oregon, is said to h^ve commuted the sentence of a murderer on account of a poem. The governor of South Carolina issues pardons, paroles,- commutations [and the -'5 like, for a song. &. ' Local option compulsory education i9 favored by Prof. W. K. Tate, supervisor of rural schools for South Carolina. This,*in the opinion of Prof. Tate, will lead,' sooner or later, to a State-wide compulsory law. |EV i The dispensary winding-up commission has promised to have something to say at it9 next meeting that will be of "particular interest to Mr. Thomas B. Pelder." In the meantime, Mr. Polder is seemingly unconcerned practicing law at the "same old stand" in j Atlanta* . ,? ?* Did yoh ever see so much cotton in Lexington? Ciiudidly, we never did. MP- Our buyers are demonstrating to the I farmers that Lexingto i is the best cotton market in the State. It would be interesting to know jost who the blindtigers of Charleston are supporting in the present race for p j mayor of that city. There is a twelve hundred acre farm at Edmund that was bought two years ag? for |d per acre. The same lands cannot he bought today for five times the purchase price. Just another evi descecf the growing value of Lexington farm lands. 7 .V. r Mr, William i*an*s, tor many yean eonneefced With The Columbia State, bae accepted the position of editor of tfefc Anderson Daily liaiL Mr. Banks jfeenooftbe very bent newspaper men toSott&Ohvolinaandfea gentleman of the highest integrity. Bao H reached the point in South Ctrc5aa when a man who wants to become a* notary public has to be a friend offthe governor in order to receive his commission?* Is not the gov ernor supposed to be the governor 01 all the people?.* Where are we drift- i ing, anyway?. Ira B. Jones,, oi Lancaster, Chief Jostice of the State- Supreme Court, yesterday telegraphed to U. R. Brooks, Clerk of the Supreme Court, the announcement of his resignation, to take effect January 9,1912. In many quarters this is taken as a very strong indication tnat Mr. Jones will announce his candidacy for the governorship in ppposition to Cole L. Bleaser the in.cumbent, who has stated tha*> be intends to seek re-election.. It is hoped and confidently expect ed that the lawyers of this bar will see to that the business of the coming . term of eourt be expedited a* rapidly - as possible. By having their cases ready the lawyers can save the taxpayers of the oonfcty a large sum of money, and will greatly relieve the * congested condition of our common pleas dockets, Judge Memminger, we know, will be ready and willing to ^'deliver the gpods," and it is the duty of our lawyers to co-operate with the Court in every way possible. We know that they will. We believe that Lexington has as good telephone service as any town in Sonth Carolina. The Citizens* Telephone Company is making improvements in its lines eyery day and the -ervioe is being extended in all directions. There are no more efficient aod accommodating operators to be found any where than Miss Alma Long j and Kinsler Roof. Long may tbey live and happy may they be! With that spirit which has ever j characterized the people of the Dutch Fork, the citizens of Chapln will to* morrow entertain the veterans of the entire county at their annual reunion. No better people are to be found in all of this broad land than tbv people of j She Fork. Every old eolukr in the; \'v . . . I county should attend this reunion tomorrow, and we speak the sentiments of the entire Dutch Fork when we say they will receive a most cordial welcome. It is to be hoped that the Southern Railway will change its schedule of its moring train fr jm Columbia so* as to connect with the branch line from Batesbnrg *to Perry. For several months the people living along this line have been subjected to a most miserable mail service,being forced to accept their mail a clay late. Besides, - ? _ the rural mail carriers have oeen maae to cover their routes in the heat of the summer's day, because of the inconvenience?the late arrival of the morning train from Columbia. We think it is now time these hardships were being removed. j Happy School Days. The happy school days are here. I Where is the man or woman whose heart does not rejoice to see the chil- j dren going to and fro on our streets, j their little voices echoing and re-echc- | ing with mirth and song? These are | happy days, and sometimes we wish we were a child again. In a few years these children will have become men and women and, as they grow older facing the responsibilities and duties of life, then, and not until then, will they appreciate the happiness and the joy "which 19 now rightly theirs. A Warm Welcome. To the many students who are new attending the Palmetto Collegiate Institute from distant towns ar.d communities, The Dispatch extends a warm welcome. We hope that they will visit our office at will. We want them to feel that they are welcome in our midst. We, ourselves, have been away from home and well do we re' member how glad it made us feel to recive the hearty grasp of a stranger's hand and a kind and gentle word of encouragement. Yes; we welcome the visiting students?the best we have shall be theirs. A requisition has been issued by Gov. Biease for C. J. Hebert of Chattanooga, Tenn., charged with conspiring with Jno. Y. Garlington and others to defraud the Semiuoles company Out of |93,000. Gov. Hooper has ho?- . ored the requisition?which Gov. Patterson refused to honor. So. 9396.
