We heartily enorsc :ne inuve.iieai to erect a suitable memorial to our soldiers who were engaged in the recent war. But we do not think a marble shaft is the proper memorial to erect. Let us have something: that will not only be a memorial but at the same time serve a good purpose We will be glad to lend our support to the movement whether it be a granite shaft or not. but wc do think something more useful and beneficial could be erected than just a granite shaft. We would supgest a library, home for disabled soldiers or something o* this nature. The Dispatch-News is carrying tbi* week a number of endorsements of Solicitor Timmerman for Congress. The people at home, as well as abroad have a right to know how a man is re garded by the people who knew him best; and no more brililant stamp of approval has ever been placed upon the candidacy of any man offering for public office in this county than the testimonials which appear elsewhere in The Dispatch-News today. and which have conic entirely unsolicited How a man is regarded by the people of his home community is the best index as to his fitness to servo the public interests and should serve as a guide to tu r voters m the other counties in the district. If the people of the Klevcr.th Judical Circuit could decide this ce it is a safe bet that the Lexington candidate world be an easy winner. BETTER ROADS 1'OK TIIK FORK. Since our issue of last wcek we have had the privilege of talking with several of our friends from that section of the Dutch Fork which is seriously considering annexing to Newberry county. And we find that these people are not in any way hostile to wards Lexington county or any of her officials, but they want better roads and they arc going to have them if they have to go to Xewberrv or some other county. And in this contention we agree with them for they should have better roads and Lexington county should furnish them. Thety claim that they have waited patiently for six years for road improvements and they are tired of waiting and if Lexintgon county wants them to stay v.'ithin her boundaries they must have better roads in that section. If Lexington can't furm'sh them Xcwber ry has promised she would and they arc going to give her a trial. As a remedy to this trouble we think it is up to the Supervisor ; nd county delegation to go over there meet with these people and sec if they cant get together. Tf they agree to stay in Lexington county provided the roads arc put in good or dev. we think it is entirely with the delegation and supervisor as to whether or not these people leave Lexington county. Furthermore we want to call the attention, of the business people of Lexington to the fact that hese people want a good road t<> Lexington so that they can come here to transactbusiness. And if they are wide awake busirfess people they will take a hand in this fight, and see that a road is built that will accomodate convenient travel from this section to Lexingtcn. Wake up business men of Lexington^ Supervisor. Senator and Representatives, and answer the call of progress in your county. If you dont somebody else will. TAX ON SOFT DRINKS MAY iu; REPEAL!-:!)
