?? ' I = The Lexington Dispatch (Wednesday, Sept 11, 1912. G. M. Habman, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwangeb, Assistant Editor. Entered at tne Post Office at Lexington, S. O., as second class matter. I' ' CIRCULATION 2.300. II a man's iamny mciuues a wuc, three grown-up daughters aud a mo her-in-law he has no earthly use lor a V phonograph. It doesn't seem right that a woman . should have two ears for hearing gossip and only one teugue for repeating it. it . ' > Lexington will continue to blossom as the green bay tree regardless of who is elected governor. It is time, fc" high time, the people were forgetting their differences, and as one great l people join hearts and hands for the I upbuilding of our county and State. if The Dispatch is being commended r on every side for its absolute fairness r to all candidates daring the campaign. | From the very beginning we took the It position that, in the governor's race for instance, both of the leading canL didates were known to the people and i I their records were known, and the people 9hould have the right to say ior themselves who they wanted to rule over the destinies of the State. In < ' county politics, while we had our pref- J erences of course, we took it for grant- , ed that the candidates were sufficiently known to the people; and as practically all of the candidates for the State ( senate and house stood on the same ; platforms, there wa9 no reason why 1 we should enter into a discussion of the issues or the peculiar fitness of the ] several candidates, We believe in the rule of the people, and when they ex- 1 press their choice at the ballot box, we ( i are ever ready and willing to stand by the nominees. < t- ' The Palmetto National. Attention is ealled to the published statement of the Palmetto National Bank in this issue. This is one of the strongest banks in the country and draws a large patronage from Lexing- ] ton connty. Gn-eral Wilie Jones, j president, is one of the safest and 1 soundest banfee-s in the State, and ' holds the cob fid . nee and esteem of all who know b'*m. Mr. J. Pope Matth- 1 ewe, the ifthient cashier, is a financier of national repnte. The other office: s ( fe well known business men, and the almetto National will continue to row as the green bay tree. Court Next Week. The Court of General Sessions for Lexington county will convene on next Monday morning with the Hon. S. W. G. Shipp presiding. There is a large number of prisoners in jail, besides a heavy docket of bail cases, and it is expected that the entire weex win be consumed. 1 Card from Mr. W. L. Addy. To the Voters of Lexington county: Allow me to thank you through the columns of The Dispatch for the confidence you reposed in me on August 27fch, by electing me County Commissioner I 9hall ever strive to do my whole duty, at all times, and will do all thai I can for the upbuilding of Lexington county. Yours truly, W. L. ADDY. Gilbert, Sept. 9, 1921. Edwin fi.

One you could not say was handsome, Net a single feature fine, But a face that held you strongly With a look that thrilled like wine, Yet recalled an autumn landscape, With its rich, rare, steady shine? When you looked again, hair parted You found from a forehead square, But you did not mind the squareness Nor the tawny hue of hair. And the nose was slightly tilted, And a trifle out of line, But you did not care a farthing, For there was the steady shine. And your thoughts went back to mother, And the prayer beside her knee, And you wondered you'd forgotten The man you meant to be. And your heart beat quick and tender, And your eyes were wet with dew? , All because in a morning's going That one face had come to view. ?Belle Kellogg Towne.
