I - I The Lexington Dispatch ; r=z======z============== I Wednesday, F? b. 26, 1913. O 24. Harman, Editor and Pp'clisher J. W. Ogilvie, Assistant Editor Entered at tiie Post Office at Lexington, S. 0., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. Washington is wearing holiday apparal for the inauguration. "3ragis a good dog, but- Holdfast is \ a better one" is a true saytng, worthy of all acceptation. 4,000 United States troops are under arms at Galveston, Texas, ready to embark for Mexico as soon as the order is given, which cannot be much longer delayed. It is probable that President Taft will veto the Webb bill, which seeks to prohibit the importation of intoxicating liquors into dry territory, on \ the ground that it is unconstitutional. " * Taft's valedictory was a pathetic p ea for peace, and he pointed out that this country should be especially care IUI tu CSCajJt: cue i^puavn vi ficing intervention for commercial ends. W. H. Barnes, President ; W. I. Cole, Cashier, and H. L. Barnes Assistant Cashier, of the Union Bank and Trust Co., of Meridan, Miss., have been ar rested on tne charge of receiving , deposits knowing the bank to be insolvent. Madero, former President of theRepnblic of Mexico, and Saarez, the Vice President, were cowardly shot down last Siinday night in the streets of Mexico by a mob thought by many to be composed of government troops who were acting under orders from the "man higher up." According to onr way of thinking Huerta, the provisional President of Mexico, is a more loathsome traitor to his country and friends than ever Benedict Arnold was, for he not. only betrayed his country under the Cloak of patriotism, but he betrayed the confidence of his friend and superior officer. John L. McLaurin is coming to the front again and his reappearance jn the political erena makes him a factor in politics that politicians will have reckon with. ' "Troth, though crashed to the earth will rise a gain and the influence of McLaurin will yet haVa a petent effect upon the politics of State and nation. Dr. John W. Russell, Superintendent of Matteawan asylum, in which Harry K. Thaw is confined, is said to have been offered a bribe of $20,000 to release Thaw. The offer is alleged to , have ijpen made sometime last December by a man named John Anhut and must be taken with many grains of allowances. j The iurv in the Coleman case, who . - * < is chargpd with murdering bis father at Jonesville, Union county, sometime ago, ended i-? a mistrial. The case ' attracted considerable attentioa in s that part of the State. The iurv is * V * c said to have stood four for acquittal f and eight for conviction. But this is said to be a mere guess. t ===== 1 M. C. Dowling, Vice President and j Cashier of the defunct Citizens Trust ( Company, of Augusta, Ga., wa9 arrested at Barnwell, this State, last r week. He at first consented to go $ back to Georgia without the formality rsf ^ v/i t^uioctiuu pcijjeiB, uut aittrwaras \ declined to do so and was released on c bond pending reqnisition proceedings. ] The time has come when the heavy ] hand of the law should deal with all bank wreckers. i Accused of secreting a pretty young South Carolina girl in a small village rn the wildwoods of West Virginia, Rueben C. Clinkscales, of Anderson CO., this state, who is attending lectures at the Baltimore Medical college, was brought back to this State by Sheriff Hendrix Rector to ai> I swer to the charge of abduetior. Clinkscales is but twenty-two years of age, and if he is guilty of the crime charged, the rope and the near esfc tree 19 !oo good for him. Married. On February 18th, 1913, by the Rev. A. R. Taylor, using the beautiful marriage ceremony of the Lutheran church, at the beautiful county home of the bride, Mrs. Ju ia Clark, and Mr. L. L. Shealy. After the cere- ^ mony all present were invited into c the dining room where thire was c spread a feast of many good things of J which all partook heartily to the b delight of all concerned. Already the murmuring of dissatisfaction is being beard in that portion of Lexington county which annexed to Richland. Discontent at present is abroad in the land and things within that territory are said to be going from bad to worse. A new iail in Columbia and ether extrava gant luxuries foreign to the simplicity and economy of rural life calls for more revenue with which to supply them, and to raise it, and raise i n amout sufficient to meet the ever increasing demands call f <r higher taxes or an increased tax levy. One or the other is inevitable and. there is no way of getting around it. Taxation is as certain as death, and those who dance to city airs must pay the piper at city prices, as some of our annexationists have already found out to their sorrow and their cost. A little V>ot?o anrt a little there is scarcely lOUW "V*V M.W V %. ? , noticeable but these littles keep multiplying until they will eventally become burdensome and the people will squeal under the heavy load. The lesson sought to be impressed upon the mind of those residing in the all'ged dissatisfied .lection of Lexington county is, that when the siren conies around you with his song of good roads and city conveniences, ask him why those who have gone from among us do not erjoy them and yetpay as much taxes as the other fellow who does. Say unto him "get thee behini me, Satan, for it is written that if we get these things at all we most- nav for them ourselves out of our pockets, and we can do this more economically and with a great deal more satisfaction by remaining in Lexington couivy than t>y going into any other county in the State to be made a cat's paw to pull other ceople's chestnuts out of the fire. We have profited by the bitter ex peri riences of our unfortunate neighbors and prefer to be let alone to the enjoyment of the fruits of our own laDor." To our wandering brothers who have sought the flesh pots of Egypt and found nothing but wormwood and gall, that when they get tired of feeding on the illusive promises which will never be fulfilled in this o; the next generation, if ever, Lexington stands ready to kill the fatted calf and give the prodigals a hearty reception back to their native heath.
