[rTRCMiiigton Dispatch Wednesday, Sept 4, 1912. v~* ||p Q. M. Harm an, Editor and Publisher fe O. B. Haltiwanqeb, Assistant Editor. Entered at the Post Offloe at Lexington, S. O., as second olass matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. Columbia is also a hot town. The number of also rans are larger than usual. t They say "Billy" Banks is still singing "Anderson is My Town," but with a great deal less enthusiasm. There is room for mere cotton buyera in Lexington. This town has been a leading cotton market, the farmers bringing their cotton here from every section. Although the crop will fall far short of last year, it is to be hoped that our merchants will see to it that Leyington get9 her share of the crop. If we are to draw the trade from other sections, which is justly ours, it is neoessary that we have a sufficient number ofcotton buyers to guarantee the-farmers the highest price for their cotton. ' W not believe that fraud wa9 > - :practiced in the election held in this county on la9t Tuesday. It is quite fawt hnvfivpr. that the returns showed .. , ?large increase in the vote over previous years; but, at the sann time it must be remembered that it ha9 been many years since we have witnessed such a campaign a9 we have witnessed , during the last three months. Aside * from the interest in the governor's race, there was far more interest in BP the race for county offices than there . was two years ago; and every yonng : man who had reached the age of 21 had his name on the club roll with but r^- very few exception, and they all went to the polls pad voted. The interest in the race lor clerk of court ^atane?and it is safe to say that this ^ -f race overshadowed all others com .v <bined?was sufficient to swell the vote ; * in this county. On tbo day of elec;**' tion all sorts of rumors were afloat to - * "the effect that an insufficient number . of tickets had be^n sunt out; and this caused some apprehension among some of th 3 followers of the candi. ' dates, but with this exception there wis not tfap slightest indication of ir> . regularity or fraud. The people of ? k..>t Lexington do not participate in fraud :, .>v when it comes to voting in the primary. They go to the polls and cast * their ballots like freemen, unhamp: ^ered by friend or foe, and when they have done that they are willing to let * j \ the majority rule. The primary system is here to stay, so far as this | is county is concerned, and [ the name of fair Lexington will never ? be begnirched by any act of her citiP ' FeU Beneath Moving Train; Condition Serious : Mr. W. J. Quattlebaum, a merchant of Ofcapin, was run over and seriously i mured while attemDtincr to board a v ,, o moving passenger train at the Union station in Columbia yesterday morning, his left arm and shoulder being so b badly crashed that ampntation of the P arm at the shonlder was necessary. B On The Chain gang. BL Will Cannon, a negro, was brought to the chaingang on Monday by Conmi stable1j. L. Roof, of Chapin, to serve W " ""irterm of 20 days for assault and battery. The case was tried before Magistrate J. H. Friok. First Bale at Barr. Mr. G. H. Roof, the well known merchant snd cotton buyer at Barr, bought the first bale of new cotton *. last Saturday. It was grown by Mr. J.L. Smith, a leading farmer, weighed 400 pounds and brought 12 cents. , .._ - . i Union Picnic. . There will be a picnic given at Half' way school hoose, near Columbia, on Saturday, September 14th, under the auspices of the Farmers' Union. The County Union will meet at Halfway f-* school house on the same date. Prominent speakers will be present. The public cordiall}* invited to attend and ' carry a well filled basket. Educational Picnic. An educational picnic will be held |j, at Newberg School House, about two mUessonth of Chapin, on next Friday, t September 6th. Prof. W. K. Tate, County Superintendent of Education *A. D. Martin, Holly L. Harman and others will make addresses. Everybody cordially invited to come and bring baskets. Trustees. Messrs. William and Penny Rawl, the Misses Alice, Henrietta and Johnnie Rawl, of Lykesland, were in Lexington for a short while Sunday afternoon, having made the trip in a handajmo Oakland automobile. To My Friends. Barely beaten, but squarely beaten. With no words of complaint, but assurances of appreciation to eyery one who cast a ballot for me. I enjojed the "swing 'round the circle" immensely, and if they did get all my grease, I have my grit and an abundance of good fellowship left to bestow upon all who come my way. Life's too short to be bitter, or sore, ard I am glad that in every game I have p:ayed, the cards dealt me were acceptable. My mother told me when a boy not to fight, but in case I did have such trouble and got a licking, not to whine, but take my medicine; and I assure one and all that my crow has been devoured and no bad taste was left. To know the many estimable people of our county is a recompence and my sJiiboleth still is that Lexington county i9 good enough for me. My sincere wish is that fate or fortune may prove kind vto all and that Providence will bestow blessings with an opulent hand, and that in these all may share and share alike. The election i9 over and my kearly congratulations to the victors. May their labors attest the wisdom the choice bestowed upon them. In conclusion, let me say in the words of the "Prayer Book," from hatred, envy and malice, good Lord deliver us! Courteously, John Bell Towill. Batesburg, S. C., Sept. 2, 1912. For Sale.

Mr. Editor:?Please allow me spa^e in your columns to express my heartfelt thanks to the democratic voters of the county who gave me their support on the 27th day August, and to say to those who did not see fit to support me that I have no ill feeling toward them and that if I am the choice of the majority of the voters in the second primary I will be the representative cf the whole people of my county, and if , the majority of the voters prefer one , of my competitors I will, as a good , democrat should, uphold his hands and endeavor to make his administration a success, i I have made a clean campaign and do not propose to stoop to anything dirty or low to get votes. I would rather be defeated honorable than to be elected by receiving a single vote by undermining or dishonest methods. I want to represent my people in the Legislature, because my ambition is to try and do something for them. Again thanking you for the support given me in the first primary and j soliciting your continued support in the second election, I remain your humble servant JAS B. ADDY. To Tooth Sufferers. While it is true that I have sold to Dr. Whitehead my dental outfit, at 1521 Main street, Columbia, S. 0., that does not imply that I have given up . the practice of dentistry. No ! by no means, and now that I have so moeh f improved from my attack of paralysis I will attend to all dental work that may come my way. I have been in constant practice for the past sixty years and fifteen years in Columbia, and I believe haye given entire satisfaction to as many sufferera from tooth troubles as any dentist and hope to continue to do so for many years to come. So, friends, rest assured that I will appreciate your patronage and give you the benefit of my long experience with liberal prices. All I ask is a trial of the old, true and tried, expert, honest dentist, near Hyatt's Park. DR. G. R. HARDING. 47 .
