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

St
Gaifney Man Held s<
Up Kills Farmer. ?
Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 21>. ?Eiecau&e of
be allowed his prejudice agaiu9t the He
automobile to carry him to the extent
of drawing a pistol on a passing car hi
this evening, Sam Whteber, a wealthy ^
Cleveland farmer, loet his life. Fac- tj.
jug the drawn weapon in Whitber's at
band and believing, that he intended
, cair/ing out his threat,. Lncius Ran.
dall, a prominent Gaffney, S. C., business
man, shot Whither twice, killing ^
him instantly.
The tragedy occurred two miles from gr
Shelby in Cleveland county. Randall, h(
who is a native of Cleveland, made tl
xthe trip to North Carolina today to y<
vi 4t relatives. On a public road he
*iet Whither in his boggy. The latter
alighted, and drawing a pistol ap?monhino
and art- ^

nounced that he was going to kill him.
Randall plead with him, bat as he ?
continued to approach, increasing his o
threat, Randall drew his own weapon
and put two bullets in the farmer's *
head. He then surrendered to the
sheriff. T ic men were not acquainted.
Whither's well known antipathy g
to the invasion of the automobile is f
the accepted theory in accounting for ?
hisacti'DP. t

rnmc ftark to Devoe
County Commissioner E W Fassetfc
had his house, 32*2 \V 8th Street, Erie,
Ba, painted Devoe in August 1901.
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.
