TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
BrookIard is component part of
Lexington county and her prosperity
is blessing and source of eratif
cation not only to herself, but to
every Office holder, tax payer and
citizen Of the county. Every intelli
gent citizen will rejoice with US in
the accession OF thirty to fifty more
new operative dwellings and eight
hundred to one thousand more popu-
lation to our town in the near future.
The contractors bids for building
them has been affirmed and work is to
begin in short time. Besides
these there is at all times a goodly
number Of dwellings going up at
different places in the town. Houses
are occupied as soon as built. There
are no empty houses here.
Oar growth will be continuous and
we regret to know that some of tie
officers of the city Of Columbia have
become spprehensive and jealous of
our rapid progression and, but for
the toll bridge, an irfax from Co
lumbia would set in, that would
bedeck The Brookland Heights"
west Of Brookland, with hundreds Of
magnificent dwellings. From Main
street in Columbia, these "Height
loom up in beautiful magnifcence,
and the undnlating and silvery waves
as they roll and rustic over the bed
of Horse Lake, as seen from these
Heights is lovely spectacle. There
is no place upon the earth more
healthy, and building lots are yet
comparatively cheap.
Brcoklapd and Lexington county
wants and needs free bridges. From
the day of C,lumbia's birth up to
row she has been fed aud nurtured
by the hard 6sted farmers cf Lex
ngton county. They have not only
given Columbia then trade, but have
during all this time, paid an enor-
nous tax il blilge toll, much Of
which has gone iuto the pockets Of

vf making CJlumbians rich and

the CJnga1ee and capital of our be-
loved Palmetto State. The weight
of this burden has been 80 great that
several times tfforts have been made
by citizens of Lexington to them
selves pay for the free bridge, hop
ing that Columbisns would see the
line Of justice and assist in relieving
their Lexington patrons OF this
onorous burden, when in fact justice
has cried long and loud demanding
that Columbia alone should free this
bridge. Now to cap the climax Co.
lumbia seems to rather insist that
the bridge be not made free, even
wien by their consent it could be
freed without one dollar of cost to
them. At late council meeting an
alderman said that he was not GER
tain that Columbia needs a free
bridge and further said that if the
bridge was free Columbians would

one or more of Colum bias daily
papers argue that it would be
against Columbia's interest to give. a
free bridge and railroad depot to
Brookland. No better proof than
this can be adduced to prove Brook
lands prospective prosperity and
power, and Coluubia's attitude to-
ward Brookland and Lexington
county is enough to drive their trade
from her limits and it is about time
to close both the bridges and keep
Lexington's trade within her own
borders and thus enrich her own
towns and make her taxes easier,
rather than give their patronage to
non-appreciaiive recipients.

I believe in tie cffice seeking its

never expect cur Offices to be filed
with men who will do their duty

When I first noticed my name an

the full determination TO withdraw

advised by friends to allow it TO re

canvass of the county, that I was
generally known as l tried to servo
ycu six years, that was willing to
leave it to the people. Some one
taking advantage Of that has circu-
lated all over the county fur the
purpose, / suppose, of iDjuring me in
the race, that would withdraw.
I am proud to know 10 one has
yet attacked my character. That is
worth more to me than money or

from perhaps, better qualified than
I am, but I take this opportunity to
say to nv friends, do not heed these

Thousands of acres of corn and cot
ton which were laid by are under
water and the loss cannot be esti-
mated until the foods resede. Those
who have visited the river bottoms
at the Jones iron bridge, nine miles
south of here, report that horses,
household effects, bedding, trunks,
COWS and hogs, alive and dead, and
hundreds of other things were COM
ing down. Parties who went out to
investigate the food situation between
the Big and Little Bsszos rivers
above here report that the two rivers
met Friday below Hearne, forming a
vast basin of water covering large
plantations on which are gins, stores
and residences. The same conditions
prevail in the bottom beyond the Big
Brazos. The river is spreading out
opposite and beyond Bryan.
"Wm. Thomas and Patrick Ward
have returned after 25 nile trip
through the ovelfowed district be-
tween the Big and Little Brazos
rivers. They went to number CT

in front of The stores at Steele S. The
Hearne and Brazos railroad is prob

much Of it washed away. The peo-
pie have been gathered together at

and are reported safe. The same
plan appears to have been pursued
across the Big Brazos."

Columbia St,.e, July All
Last night at 122:l5 o'clock fire
was discovered in a one story frame
store in the hcalt of Brookland. oc
cupied by Dir. Sharpe, who conduct
ed tobacco and soda water business.
The flames spread rapidly up State
street northward, and ia few miu-
utes DR.. T. L. Sandals drug store
adjoining was in ruias. ibis build
ing was the property cf Mr. John

ber shop, another one story frame
building which was burned. The
large two story brick and frame
store on the corner and in the heart
OF town next caught. This is owned
by Mr.. Shaler, and was occupied by
Mr.. Cap Williams as a grocery store.
The fire then turned the corner and
burned down aIeetipg street. A
baker shop and a dwelling and an
other small building owned by Mr.
Shuler were destroyed.
TIE stores across the street were
in great danger. bat were saved by
hard work. There was no water
supply. The Independent, Palmetto
and Phoenix machines from Colum-
bia went down as far as the river
bridge, but Grief May thought it
useless for them to cross as there
was no adequate water supply and
the truck company could not risk the
rough tide without promise Of remu-
neration.
Mr.. John Shuler is the heaviest
loser. His property was valued at
about $4,000, partially insured. NJ.
H. Witt owned the building in
which the fire started. Loss 5000;
no insurance. Sandals drug store
insured. Williams stock of grcce-
ries insured. The total loss will not
exceed $4,000. Tie fire destroyed
everything within reach, and burned
itself out about o'clock. The con-
tents of some of the buildings were
saved.

Illinois has outdone the South in
its treatment of the negro. About
ten months ago a colony of 1000
negroes we're imported to Pana, to
take the place OF white union men.
Since their arrival a. that place they
have been maltreated and subjected
to all kinds of abuse and sufferings
and their lives have been made un-
endurable. Gov. Tanner furnished d
them railroad tickets home. 10 the
mining districts of the State, negroes
are being whipped, shot down aud
driven from pillar to post like dumb
animals and State troops had to be
ordered out to protect lives and
property in some sections.
