M. Harmon, ] Batesburg. S. C. ,TESBUR< - A NEW COUNTY COMMENT i E N. W. BROOKER OF - COLUMBIA IS INTERESTED I N THE MATTER S HE SAYS IF WE BEAT THE SWANSEA t- MOVEMENT WE WILL WIN AND IT WONT HURT LEXINGTON h l* Columbia, S. C. Oct. 3, 1910. ?- Dear Advocate: I have read your proposition e to cut Lexington and make a new U county for Batesburg and Leesville it and it is interesting to us on this side, especially your remark about Huckabaa road and the Piedmont n route. Don't worry yourself about us. The Congaree and Broad River > slipes will be out and gone before you can catch your breath again. s The election will now be ordered, and it is certain that our people will come out from the Lexington Ring s yoke to which you refer and rid themselves under their constitutioni al rights of that infernal toll bridge burden, which no people can endure e and live, and which has borne thein down in two generations. I desire that it be known that I am personally interested in this matter as well as in the people over that side. My n estimate of my cost in toll to cross the river into the ('olumbia market s running on! / eight or ten miles t would be $700. A man truck farmg ing crossing the river every day will pay almost $150 per year to reach y the market. No people could stand this except Lexington people who are the most marvelous people in 0 the world. They would stand it longer if necessary, but it is not, and s they propose to be free now. If your design is to defeat us, then we lock horns right now. I love old Lexington was born and raised upon her soil, and fought her battles in the Civil war. Her R people are great; not the handsomest in the world; you can always ^ know a Lexington man when you see him, broad gauged and honest as God ever made. Now they see ^ that the time has come in getting out of the old ruts and build up l" their country?tired ?f the ring and a its boss, but brother Advocate I am with you in yOw.r movement, your [. article has the right ring and if you u ni I cVl it cn 2C t* K?t Qu/onc?i 11 r v w wnuiuv* UIWW o ment you will win. Lexington has s 885 sq- are miles of territory and can spare you some. Your people ^ ought to have your seat of governk ment in your reach and convenient. It will not help your town much, too great an estimate is put upon the i- value of a court house to a town. But the time has come for a change in the old way of a world in a county ;s and the county seat out of the peoples reach, I have the solution to . your problems. Your article hit me IS square, it plumbed me centrally and made the fur fly. lc Swansea wants a county seat as well as your people and they are going to have it. Batesburg and Leesville want it jointly and they ig are going to have it; old Lexington e. may bank on this for certain in the ;e near future. If we were to stop our e> annex movement it would help you es and Swansea, but too late now we ut are gone sure. Now you go on ^ rCiwun your movement, i.et Swansea e- get a hump on and let the two h, movements go on together. Old it. Pompey town, God bless her, bep. longs to Columbia and we want to spread out and take her in and r make a great city of her; paint her al houses, white wash her fences and ill macadamize her roads. We want a e. Main street from Brookland to the t; ?id city with the trolleys to her is beautiful lakes and mills and to Red Bank. We will join you in a line from the head of Tarers Creek ' to Gilbert and to Amick's Ferr ? and or take dear old Lexington und^r oui | wing. The people for twenty miles jtrom Columbia all around Lexingto j 3, OCTOb FRANK THOMAS ~ DEAD " 3 DIED AT SALUDA COURT C HOUSE ON SUNDAY AF- t TERNOON n Frank M. Thomas died at Saluda p on Sunday afternoon after a short illness. He was buried at Saluda ^ on Monday at noon. M Frank Tkomas for a long time was connected with the Batesburg Advocate and was a very able newspaper man. He had a host of friends all over Saluda and Lexington counties. He was generous to a CA fault and was every ready to do a kind act for everyone that crossed his path. In his profession he was far beyond the average man and T< was quick and accurate in his work. When quite young he chose the NA printer's profession from choice and D love of the work and on many questions pertaining to the fourth estate he was an encyclopaedia. It was quite a shock to learn of his death and the Advocate and its N force extend their profound sympathy to those from whom death v ' has severed a kind and generous /. heart. ^ 1 boi ~ the WANTED in < Wanted to buy 10,000 bushels 'n 1 cotton seed.
