We speak tbe Sentiments of all Lexington
when we declare onr sympathy
for the Rev. Walton H. Greever, of
Columbia, the brilliant editor of the
Lutheran Church Visitor, whose wife
? suddenly disappeared from her nurse
on one of the principal thoroughfares
of the city of Washington on the 17th
of February, and v?ho has not been
seen nor heard from since. Mrs. Greever
had been in ill health for a loDg
time, having been in Washington unI
<ler he care of a specialist for the past
^ several months. Her sudden disappearance
has baffled the police department
of Washington is well as the detectives
who haye been working on
1
the case. We join ur. wocvcxo.
thousands of friends everywhere in I
the earnest hope that Mrs. Greever
may soon be found and restored to her
hasband.
It is hoped and confidently expected
that the new Lutheran college for
girls will be established in Lexington.
The committee in charge of the location
of the school inspected the Lexingtonsite
last Thursday. In addition
to the 20 acres of land, which has an
estimated cash value of $15,000 but
which could not be bought for any
reasonable amount, Lexington has
pledged $30,000 in cash. This offer,
all things considered, is equal to any
offer received by the committee; and
Lexington being 1 he logical point, it
does not seem th .c there is anything
left for the comix, ittee to do but to
to Lexington. It is
giTV u>^
expected that the committee will
reach a decision within the next few
days. *
\
We sympathize with the tjnion
Times upon the los= of its magnificen
building and its splendid plant by fire
a week ago. If the fire was of an incendiary
origin, as is believed, it is to
be hoped that the guilty wretch will
be captured :,nd speedily punished according
to law. The editor of The
Tiaeais one of. the strongest exponents
for decency, law aud order in
V ' the State, and his work along this line
i vis said to have had a good effect upon
the conditions of his town.

of the old State dispensary winding' <
up commission, has completely vindi*
V. cated himself of any wrongdoing, as
- " Jhas all of the other members of the
-* -old commission. Whatever else may
4)6 said, it cannot be denied that the
. old commission performed its duties
vwell and saved the State many thousands
of dollars. Let the honor fall
.upon those to whom honor is due!
The recent published statements of
the banks show that Lexington county
banks are enjoying a season of unprecedented
prosperity. A steady increase
in resources and a surprisingly
large increase in deposits, must indeed
be gratifying to tho9e who have money
entrusted to their keepiDg. There is
no better index to the prosperity of a
county and its people than the healthy
..condition of her banking institutions.
"Thepeople of Lexington have no
- to waste in petty quarreling over
petty differences. If there ever was a
" time when earnest effort and earnest
co-operation were needed, that time is
now. Instead of trying to pull down
And hold back, every person should
-put his shoulder to the wheel and
push for a greater Lexington.
When the old winding-up commission
first began to reyeal the rottenness
that was carried on in connec.tion
with the operation of the State
dispensary it created a great sensa- j
- tion. Not so now, however; the peo;
pie of the country have learned to take
% all things for granted.

^0,030 was subscribed. With a popuation
of less than two thousand souls,
jexington's bid was equal to that of
Jolambia.
Down in Orargc-bnrg the oth< r day
a. is said to have heard a
case over tiie 'phone and immediately
rendered a decision. It being the first
instance of the kind on record in this
State, the losing side will doubtless
tind some excuse for an appeal.
Thank goodness, the nefarious old
.thing will soon be wound-up.
'Tis the land of the South,
'Tis the land of tfte sun,
Can we smile on the deeds
That our children have done?
The R. F. D. carriers are earning
their salary this "vyinter and more, too.
The wonder is that some of them cov- (
er their routes at all, so bad have been
the roads.
The split-log drag could be used to
good effect on the roads now; but,
unfortunately as a ruie, there is ncbody
to do the dragging.
The tax books will close tomorrow,
the 15th, and those who have not paid
as \at had better do so, that is if you
/
dcn't want to pay under execution. !

What are you.doing to promote the i
interests of your town and county?
Lexington has never had a blighter J
future than at the present, and all
hands are needed at the wheel.

If "Bill" Banks don't soon send us 5
a Daily Mail we are going to disown
him. We fear he is getting the "big" J
head. ]
============ j
Farm work has practically been at a
standstill throughout the county. No j
plowing of consequence has been done, i
aad the 15th of March is here.
With the new Lutheran college for
women and a new ten thousand dollar
high school building, Lexington can- ^
not but continue to grow and blossom j
as the rose.

It is understood that a)hthree of the J
?
candidates for governor are claiming
overwhelming majorities in Newberry.
Ail of them hail from Newberry, you j
know?
County politics are not looming up (
much yet, although there is plenty of (
talk as to who will be in the race for
the several offices of honor and trust.
I
The crop of June brides and sweet f
girl graduates will be up to the standard
this year. But it must be remembered
that this is Leap Year.
%
It seems that the fact that the Hon.
John T. Duncan, of Columbia, is also
a candidate for governor, is being
overlooked by the leading papers cf
the "square meal town."
And Col. Roosevelt has announced
that he would again accept the Republican
nomination for the presidency?
\7ho would have thought it?
If we don't get the new Lutheran
college for girls we will always think
that we onght to.
The ground hog evidently knew his
business when he went back into his
hole.
Lexington is the best town in South
Carolina and the logical place for the
Lutheran college for women.
It takes a dead game sport to take
his sweetheart to ride over the roads
now-a-days.
The 1912 Easter hats and spring
frocks are out of sight?so it is said.
A little sunshine ntw and then
Is enjoyed by the best of men.

Kleckiey-Lorick.
On Wednesday evening, March 6th,
at 6 o'clock, at the home of the officiating
minister, the Rev. T. S. Brown,
Miss Charlotte Kleckley of Lexington
became the bride of Mr. Thomas
Lorick of Irmo.
The bride never looked more beautiful
than on this occasion being very
becomingly costumed in a beautiful
cream coat suit with hat, shoes and
gloves to match.
On account of sickness in the !
groom's family the ceremony was a
very quiet affair, only a few relatives
and intimate friends being present.
Tmmed;ate!y a?ter trie ceremony
the happy couple left on the Southern
train for Washington and other points
of interest.
The bride is the charming daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kleckley of
this place and the groom is a successful
young farmer of Irmo.
They will return from their bridal
trip and make their future home at
Irrao. A Friend. 1

After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of Lexington
given below, ycu musi come
to this conclusion: A remedy which
cured years ago, which has kept the
kidneys in good health since, can be
relied upon to pertorm tne same worK
in other cases. Read this:
L. Hall, jeweler. Main St., Lexington,
S. C., says: "T suffered from kidney
trouble for several years and
finally my kidneys became so weak
that I was alarmed. The kidney secretions
were too frequent in passage at !
times, then again I could hardly void
thorn. I felt weak, lost flesh, did not
sleep well and was nervous and irritable.
A short time ago I got a supply
of Doan's Kidney Pills from the Kaufmann
Drug Co. and since I nsed them,
[ ha^ e improved wonderfully. I earnest
ly recommend this remedy to all kidney
suffererers." (Statement given !
March 9, 1908.) I
THREE YEARS LATER.
Mr. Hall was interyiewed on March
23, 1911 and he said: "I still take
Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally and
bhey keep me well. This remedy is all
that it is represented to bo and I gladly
confirm my former endorsement of j
it."
