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.

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.
