The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, May 28, 1913. Q M. Harm an, Editor and Prbiisne; J. W. Ogilvie, Assistant Editor Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. 0., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. Th<> Railroad a Certainty. For many years past the people of Lexington have looked forward with a great deal of interest for the time to come when Lexington and Columbia would have an electric railway. They realized the importance of such a connection and appreciated the benefits that would accrue from it to both Lexington and Columbia. Several attempts haye been made by Lexington to make this connection, two | seperato companies were chartered but on account of the cool reception of the people of Columbia, they were allowed to languish by their promot- j ers and in languishing perished. The proposed line connecting Au- j , gusta with Columbia via Lexington is j a proposition that meets cne unanimous approval of our people. It is a bigger j thing than we ha i anticipated and is filled with greater possibilities of development than any other yet proposed and it appears if we but lend a helping band in securing the j right of way for the present company i9 all that is necessary to secure for ourselves and our posterity, all the benefits wnich are to come from the completion of such a great undertak ing. President James U. Jaclson, President of the Carolina Georgia Interuban road and the promoter of/ the Angnsta and Columbia road came over Thursday and addressed an enthusiastic mas9 meeting of Lexingtonians, declaring in emphatic language that carried conviction with the words, "The sooner yon 1st me know that I can go ahead between Lexington and Columbia the quicker you will get the road." President Jackson was met in Columbia by a delegation of the business men of Lexington consisting of the following: Dr. P. H. Shealy, Hon. C M. Efird, George bell Timmerman, T. C. Callison, Juhn Bell To will, 0. E. Leaphait, S .1 hart, J. S. Canghman, T, P. Meet?** Karl F. Oswald, G. A. Derrick, Geo S. Drafts and E. , G. Dreher, and j s brought him over in an automobile. The mass meeting was held in the court house over which Hon. C. M. Efird presided and Mr. D. R. Haitiwanger was elected secretary. Mr. Jackson's address was a plain, practical business one in which he outlined what was required from our jfeople by the company to insure the building cf the road. The first essen tial was the hearty co-operation and help of the people of our thriving and progressive town. He did not ask for help in a financial way but merely wanted our assistance in securing Tights of way through our county. This was about the sum and substance of his requirements and they are reasonable and just. Surely the committee appointed to secure these rights of ways should be no laggards in the carrying on and completing of the work as has been said above. "The sooner you let me know that I \ can go ahead between Lexington and Columbia the quicker you will get the road,'* The road is to commence at Cayce, where it is to make connection with the Seaboard aD go into Columbia, * and build on toward Lexington; it would stop at all public crossings to take on and put off passengers; freights would be hauled by the road which vvOulct mean a big reduction in rates: it will encourage and develops the trucking and dairying interests of Lexington and enhance our realty and taxable values by providing a quick transportation to a market the products of the fields and gardens and placing upon the market within T?ach of Columbia seme of the most desirable lots suitable for re3i dences aud'biisiuers parpo?es and in the raon healthy iocantieg that can be found anywhere in the State are a few of the ma; y benefits to accrue to Lexington by the building of this road. The contra. for the construction, declared Mr. Jackson, had already hPPn *warde<i *1r Micheal McGrath, a man ^-ho has built more electric railro-:'-s fhan any other man in the world hi possible that Mr. ^?v* oJuStruCb that portion of th '; -1 bet treen here and Columbia and c.her sections would be sublet to perse iivmg alon<i the line of road and t'j't 11.e work would be pushed as rapid';-' as possible so that the entity rva w ?uiu be completed by Novem' or ? "'.I ye?f. Uft. An* I r>f % IT tho m?d riUJJ V ;r. ,? - . can dow bo cor--* '--rod a certainty and bv tJovprnber r ;Ar. wiil be running over it. Jut i. ,wv iwi'gOLien i ) ' that the only requirement is the obtaining of the right of way lor the compai y and as our people are awake to the importance of this road and this matter is in the hands of a competent, progressive aod working committee, we have no hesitation in 9aying thar this requirement will be fully met in a few days.

Last Thursday whila playing in a field of grain, Frank P., the five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. H.

Prompt medical attention will probably, save his foot from being amputated. POSTURES. The old Grecian Bend made us merry. The Kangaroo glide was a scream, But the fashions in costuming vary, Like the changes that come in a dream, And the fashions in posture have shifted With a hop and a skip and a jump, Till the artists of beauty most gifted Have taught us the Ingenue slump. To stand in a manner half human And half like a stupified snake, To look like a sorrowful woman , Just recently dragged from the lake, To sag like a rag unsupported With a hand on an undulant hip | And with lingering limps all distorted, That gives you the Deputante Dip. Oh, tempora, morse !?Oh, women, I prithe abandon that couch, Buy gowns, if yon will, to look slim in, I But cut out the Ingenue slouch, I It's not one iota alluring To look like an eel in a bag; The sight is beyond all enduring?

Old Age. Old age as ;t comes in the orderk processor nature is a beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, knowiedge, wisdom, oous*8? 1 Thar is old age as it should be, but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, a slu?ei?h liver and a general feeling of ill hea'th, despondency and misery. This in almost every instance is wholly unnecessary. One of Chamberlain's Tablets taken immediately alter supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver *nd regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one or hope and good cheer. For sale hr Ail Dealers. adv. Painful Accident. Mr. W. P.
