. ^ . ,y.. T lie Lexingioa Dispatch ' Wednesday, Jan. 8, 1913. G M. Herman. Editor and Pnblieber J. W. 0gilvie, Assistant Editor . Entered at the Poet Office at Lexington, S. 0., as second olass matter. CIRCULATION 2,300. ==? When we bear nothing we say nothing. Lexington is an ideal place for the home seeker. Opportunity it) knocking at every man's door. Will be seize and make Ike most of it. If yon want to find a profitable investment for yonr surplus capital investigate the claims of Lexington first. They are very attractive. N _________________ The Lexington Enterprise made its appearance January 1, 1913. It is a neatly printed six column quarto and is published by the Enterprise Pub. ?o., Inc. Mr. John Bell Towill is the editor and manager. The Dispatch greets its neighbor. Lexington, the home of opportunity and great possibilities. Persons seeking desirable sites fcr home building should first investigate the claims of Lexington before deciding to locate elsewhere. There is no better place on* earth, nor none that offers so many inducements for the investment of capita] and snch attractive propositions for labor than Lexingson. Now that our Senior is back in harness and with the assistance of bis long experience and ripe judgment in newspaper making we propose to make the Dispatch a better paper and a more welcomed visitor into the homes of the people of Lexington than ever before. This is no idle boast, but the living troth. Watch and see. 1 ===== * We are still of the opinion that one of the great needs at Lexington is an active, working Civic League. Wit1) the ladies of the the town thoroughly Organized into such a leagne we v ould soon see a decided improvement in civio and health conditions. For proof that such an organization is needed in Lexington we have only to glance into some o? the back-yards as we pasB along the streets, ?* well as notice the waste paper and trash which accumulates on onr mah< business thoroughfare. There shoiidbe receptacles before every s'ore as well as dwelling for the. placing of this waste and debris so that the scavenger cart (if we have one and if we have not, we should have one right awav). can remove it each mcminc Let us all lend a helping hand in making boautitnl Lexington more beautiful. ' Columbia's Opportunity. * Tfao government has been since the memory of man runneth not to fcbe contrary expended millions of dollareach year for the improvement of the rivers and harbors 'v of the country. All to do is to dig a 2x4 ditch and . then interest the immediate representative in congress in the improvement (?) and the next thing ;j>10,OOC or $io,000 is appropriated. But here is a meritorious proposition of ereat Dossi bilitiea of cUveloprrjent and if carried through succe^sfu ly, it will be of incalulable benefit to a large portion of the State, and we hope to see the day when ocean going vessels will come up to Colombia, ar.d load and unload their passengers and freight, at or near me foot of Gervaia 9treet. The vessels will enter the canal at its mouth, and come up to the city. A .handsome appropriation for this purpose and the deepening of the channels of the Congaree, and the , Santee, can easily be secured, if VIA CthRmbfr i?r Pfiwrrupfa ond the bushes* iu'ereot of Columbia get I bu*y. No doubt South Carolina's delegation in Congress lend a helping hand and give thrir influence to this laudable undertaking if they were urged to do so by those more directly inteersted for while Columbia would be greatly benefitted by the completion of this important undertaking but Lexington, in fact about two-thirds of the State of South Carolina wonld share in that benefit to a greater or less extent in one way or another. The saving in freight is almost beyond estimation, wlrch ia turn would mean a considerable redaction in the price of commodities to the consumer, We throw this out a suggesiton -rtbafc's all. 2?0 acres b miles from Leesville, Timber. % rural routes, Telephone, good dehwtf, near Church; A. *F. -v. * BIG CORN SHOW, The Fifth National Corn Exposition at Columbia.

During the progress of the fire on the 2G'uli of Decern her last, wo lost our note book and as a consequem e severel interesting news items escaped our memory last week. Among them were the Sunday school Christmas trees at the Baptist, Methodist and Lutheran ehurches, as well as the one at Hebron Methodist church. These were all very enjoyable affairs and the exerci9?s were intensely interesting. The scholars, teachers and sui inrendents of the several Sunday schools, as well as the pastors of the different churcht s, were liberally remembered by dear old Santa Claus with appropriate and suitable gifts. The programmes were appropriate for day of sacred memories when the angels announced to the shepherds on Judea's rugged hills, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good ticings of great joy, which shall be to all people ror uuiu )uu is uurn mis uay, in me City of David Saviour which shall be called Chri-t the Lord." We mention these trees at this time because our attention has been called to our fa* lure to do so by several interested persons.

Very high winds prevailed in Lexington all of Thursday night, all day Friday and up to the early hours of Saturday morning when the winds lulled and died away. The storm came from north of west aud was preceded by a heavy down pour of rain. Some ! say that in the earlier stages of the i storm the wind reached a velocity of between forty-five and fifty miles, an ' hour and there are some who go away I beyond these figures. Be this as it | may, however, dwelling? shook and J rocked, trees uprooted, fencing blown j and much damage was doue to the < kelrvnhone avfitem. Some of our Deo pie were bo frightened at its violence that they got op and dressed so as to be ready to leave their homes in case of necessity. We have heard of no damage to life, bat it was scary times, rhe storm was general throughout the Sonto, and from whence it came and whither It went we know not. The Agony is Over.
