Jr-o tj Sbtth W. T. Walker. BY WAY OF PARTING. I In retiring from The Dispatch- i ( isews I am frank to confess that J do i so with a feeling- of keen regret on ^ the one side and "with a feeling of pardonable pride on the other. I regrret'to leave the friends, who by their loyalty and devotion, have made The Dispatch-Xews a success i I from the first day I entered into the business?to leave those friends who have shown their unshaken confidence inn me during the years I have been in the publishing business, and who have made it possible for me to make honest bread for myself and family. Again, I regret to leave the office force to whom I have become more attached each day, and who have proven their fidelity. and friendship during my connection with the paper. However, the best ef friends must part; and no matter where I may go these friends, thank God, shall be my friends still, and I shall be theirs. Publishing a newspaper, even in a prosperous county like Lexington, is neither a gold mine nor a gravy train. Human nature is the same the world over, and there have always been those wrho have thought that new*spapcr men have easy sailing. Such, however, is not the case. It is an uphill business at best, and it has been unusually hard on all publishers during the period of the f.var. Prices on all printing material have advanced by leaps and bounds? almost out of all reason?and are still advancing. But, by the help ef our friends, we have been able to eke out an existence and to let our helpers live. While I am retiring from the newspaper business, 1 am not leaving Lexington, neither is it my intention to leave.

The administration of the Richland funds will be in the hands of capable and trustworthy business men and the prospect appears bright for r the success of the undertaking. t Richland has set the pace for mid- t die and lower Carolina as did Green- ? ville for the Piedmont. Other counties will rapidly fall in line. WELL IX)\E~ Fewer men who have served in 3 Congress from South Carolina have 3 retired with such universal regret on * the part of their constituents and ( such deserved popularity among their f fellow-members as Hon. A. Frank 3 Lever upon his resignation from the present Congress. His 18 years of service have been characterized by an 1 unremitting zeal for the interests of * his district and State. The success of the Democratic nartv in recent year placetl him in a position of great pow_ er and usefulness to'the nation at large, and he amply measured up to the added responsibilities. The people of Lexington county and of thejc Seventh District are proud of his record of service, and will watch with 1 interest his future career, firmly he- < lievinjr that hg will not fail to take full s advantage of tho opportunities for wi. s der usefulness which will be present- j ed to him by his new work*, They twish him well and expect to hear from j him further in national affairs. j 2 v." ?.-.!: ? nont u;o s't^ryiy :_ j:.on f 1 ? :-iiocr:i: ; i ]>:.i his n:nn<~ is ti ("; :o- ; : : ration books for \ho a- tur.il c'orfop. \V." k! fk V.'i'I h<"> f <1 r {<> t . v !'. iho ill's' - '-v. v.v-ny ' '(" i v.- i :',r i -I ' : . <>: ;:bo l.,> s^Icvtorl ! : 1':. . ;' .;Vtr O !*: ; ! !' ?.
