r Sounded Notes Still Echoing. To the Editor of The Dispatch: "I dislike to write, and especially to criticise, hot I feel it my doty to sound a note of warning to my brother tax^ payers/' when I see, before the pubB lies' eyes, articles which might lead H anmfi of oar worthy, bat thoughtless, W brethren astray. Bnfc all who stop a 1 moment to think and who sound the ! j eoMity of their brain, know that we 1 ar#weak mentally and morally; and 1 that we are likely to be drawn or side- ' tracked through the wide gate and in- j to the broad way of destruction. And i notonly do we know that our sins will ! 1 find us out, but we know also that our j words, thoughts and actions, will show ; U9 up, as our brother taxpayer's have. With all the writing and deliberat- . ing about the bridge at Amick's Fer- ; ry, not onefword has been spoken to j the public concerning the condition of 1 the road about the ferry. The people j are being kept ignorant, by the advocates of this bridge, of what it will ] fioat the county to put in a fill on one entrance to the ferry on the north side; and to build up the other en- 1 trance on * the same side, which ex- * tends one-half mile along the river's ( bank. Is it right? I9 it a philanthro| pisfc who would have his fellow tax payers believe that a bridge at Amick's y - will give more service to the people of Lexington County when it will cost ( thousands of dollars over and above ' the cost of building one at Still Water? It is not right, and it is our duty to ( sound" facts and what is right. It is not our purpose or aim to question the veracity of any of our enthusiasts of Lexington County, but relym ing upon our reasoning ^powers, even , though we are ignorant of what Mr. j Langford did at the so-called "prelim- \ inary" at Lexington last summer. It 1 seems to as 1 did exactly what was J Tight. He was pressed on the one side by those cit&ens of Lexington I county, wlft* are thoughtful, loyal and ! patriotic, and whose interest is the , county's interest; and on the other by < the advocates of a bridge at Amick's. k These advocates *ent so far as to emW jfloy one of the leading lawyers of 1 L Hewberry county and of the State. <T*V,~ 4 ?tjroo OTinncrli tn 1 I lXliB WlUiiU ivocu) nw v?v? vv ^ awaken the thought of any reasonable , man, and enough, also, to show that a i bridge at Amick's would not be for the best interest of the people. Now, even if Mr. Langford did pay lawyers out of the peoples' money, i there is nothing lost if the bridge is built at Still Water, * shnply because - Mr. Langford could pay two dozen lawyers and then save several thons ands of dollars by the gtransaction. Whether right or wrong, such as are prone to think, will deem it the esteemed duty of a worthy officer. As for Mr. Shealy and Mr. Hendrlx, I think they ^re quite able to take care of themselves. Dear Brother Taxpayer, blot that stale thought out of your mind, that a bridge kt Still Water will be given to one man. It will be given to all the , 1. people of Lexington county, and it 1 will be their bridge. * J' Taxpayers of a historical county, ( you know that we are prone to think wrong; but without a hitch or a doubt I believe that our brother Taxpayer ( voted and even worked for the elec- < tion of Mr. Langford. And now, he ( who claims to be a true citizen of one j of the oldest and most historical coun ?ofl nf Sf.ate. and lavinz uDOn his i "VB w? ?? I y .. own shoulders the bnrdeu of sounding ' notes of warning, though very iuco- j herent, to the people of his beloved county; and assailing the officers, \ whom he shonld ask God to guide in j all their works without ceasing, for spending the hard-earned money of the people, an^at the same time exercis- 1 ing violently his delicate brain in order that abridge may be built at Amick's Ferry, which will cost at least $7,000 ] . more than one at Still Water. Brother Taxpayer, open your eyes, and let the warmth of the golden glittering rays of a spring sun instill in your mind that which is for the good of the county and humanity. That is i just what our forefathers stood for ^ntnnVs aco. and will you entertain a thought for one moment of falling below that mark? I trust not. Let as always endeavor to climb fame's shining ladder and picture ourselves J in our burdensome officers' shoes and : see how much better we could work j all the things to be done. Then, ua- i ing your own slang quotation, * 'There J wnnld he no niseer in the wood pile." J ; Taxpayer.
