ggggggggggggggggggj Ihe Lexington Dispatch ' Wednesday, Nevembet 1,1911. j Q. M. Hajulin, Editor and Publisher D. B. HjlLtiwakqxb, Assistant Editor. k i Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, [ S. 0., as second class matter. CTBCULATION 2.300. j NOTICE! ! In order (hat our office force might have a day at the State fair, we are leaving out a great deal of editorial and news matter this week. i ===== I Tt uppms to ns that it would be ad- J visable for the stockholders of our county fair to consider the proposition of moving the grounds to a point near the depot; and there is no better time k to consider this proposition than right now. Lexington has one of the oldest and be9t county fairs in the State. That it is the best, all is agreed. We are satisfied, however, that it could be made much better by moving the ^ grounds nearer the station, where itwould be convenient to all. j========== b It is hoped that there will be a large 81 gathering of farmers here on the first f Monday. There is nothing that inter- ^ ests the farmer more at tae present " time than the price of cotton. Every- C( body will agree that the price uf cot- ft ton is too low, and the only way *o raise the price of the staple is by concerted action on the part of the producers. We are sure that our bankers will arrange to finance the proposi- 0| tion. They have the money arid they 0, are always ready and willing to do their part. 4 We were glad indeed to see so m any of our neighbors from across the Congaree attending our fair. The best we have is theirs without the asking. Columbians will come to Lexington ic once a year to g*t a "square meal;" w but Lexing;onians will pay them back fc this week. , fs F Now that lree bridges between Cc- . lumbia and Lexi igton seems a cer- ^ tainty, there will be mn^h rejoicing among our people. The Dispatch has long fought for the freeing o? these bridges, and we hope the good that will follow to both Lexington and Co- ^ lumbia will be a hundred fold. d N Governor Blease has strange ideas about doing thinri. Only last week he gave a notorious pickpocket bis freedom?a man who had been found guilty of fleecing State fair visitors and sentenced to serve ten years in L the penitentiary. i ? ======== . Fi Columbia is in her glory this week. &r The biggest and best fair in the life of the State is on. The town is alive to with people of all classes from every section of the country. Columbia will, as heretofore, do herself proud in the entertainment of visitors ___ Sntiirek? too many homicides are w taking place in South Carolina these w days. There most be a reason. al ======== -7< Nbsc year is campaign year and yen ^ will need The Dispatch. Had yon ,. thought oMhat? P? The Bateeborg Advocate ha9 gone to a its reward, according to an announce- ar msnt appearing in that paper last w week. > ? he - ? Pj / The "Dutch Weather Prophet" can su gue99 pretty well. It is said that half of She people at the State fair are Lexingtonians. St Gaifney Man Held s< Up Kills Farmer. ? Charlotte, N.

In March 1902, he had three others to oaint and thought the price too high. Bought a "just as good" for one house; the others he painted Devoe. Said he'd find out by experience. Guess he did, for he's used Devoe several times since; he's got the habit. The queer of it is that people should grudge the cost of good paint, when it's worth about 50 times the difference. Good is cheap, whatever the price: and bad is dear, at no price at ail; it costs too much to put-on. Devoe is a good paint; good paint is Devoe. There is no other Devoe; there is no other good paint.
