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.

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.

Peak, August 31, 1912.
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.
