By the passage Of the isthmian
canal bill Congress has literally
knocked every prop from under the
only live issue in the Democratic
platform upon which the Senatorial
and Congressional candidates are
standing in the race for Office. The
burning question Of the hour now is
what are they going to do about it?
This is a Republican measure, ad-
vocated by Republicans and adopted
by Republican Congress, for this
reason will the Democratic candl-
dates now denounce the measure as
a Republican scheme to rob the peo-
pie, or will they still advocate it as
the best possible measure for the de-
velopment of the resources Of the
south; or will they now denounce it
as Republican measure and there
fore unworthy of the support of
Democrats? To continue to advo.
cate it will lay themselves open to
the charge of Republicanism and
subject themselves to be elected from
the Democratic party, and to now
oppose it will show their hands that
they only oppose measures because
they are favored by Republicans.
To say the least they are certainly
in an awkward position.

Attention is directed to the en-
dorsement of Mr.. W. Boyd Evans,
candidate for Railroad Commissioner.
When we consider that this endorse
ment was the unanimous and enthu-
siastic result of his home club, where
his gifts of intellect and strength OF
character are recognized and duly
appreciated, additional force is given
to it. There is no question about
the competency, integrity and fair
ness of Mr.. Evans character and his
elevation to the position to which he
aspires will not only be graceful
compliment to a deserving young
man, but for the best interests of the
State. We are confident that all bis
acts in the discharge of his duties
will justify the confidence in him by
the voter in his election as Railroad
Commissioner.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1902-07-02

Congressman Tslbert, candidate
for Governor, favors the proposition
of taxing the townships for improv-
ing the public roads. Whether this
is the proper and wisest solution Of
road improvement or not, we are
not in position to say, but we do
know that some thing will shortly
have to be done to give US good roads
the year round. We do not mean to
convey the idea that the roads of
Lexington are in any worse condition
than those of the other counties in
the State, but when this is said all is
said in their favor. We believe that
it is generally conceded that many
of the public roads of the county
at certain seasons of the year are
almost in an impossible condition.
To remedy this evil it is apparent
that something must be done. Ex-
periepce has clearly shown that the
system used at present, as we'll as in
the past, is very unsatisfactory and
totally inadequate to do that which
it is expected to perform-puttiDg
the roads in permanent repair-snd it
is equally clear that in order to &C.
complish this much to be-desired
result another system, combining
economy and efficiency, will have to
be adopted, and he who will devise
such system will be considered
public benefsctor and his name will
60 down in history as such.

patriotism the other day in the dis
position of the isthmisn canal meas

Morgan is a warm advocate of the
Nicaraugan route, but the two houses
divided as to the route-the House
favored the Nicaraugan and the

matter was referred to conference

the passage of the measure MIR.
Morgan subordinated his personal

The Fourth of July will be more gen
orally observed than usual in San Juan
county this year, Pennington, Aztec
and La Plata having arranged for cele-
%brations. with other precincts yet to
hear from. Patriotism is rampant and
universal in San Juan.
Cherries are ripe all the way down

brought some elegant specimens of
this fruit up from his ranch at Farm
ington the other day and treated the
boys around town to some of the cher
ries he had been able to save from
the birds. They were fine.
Work on the foundation for the court
house is completed. the most of the
stone work was done by William
Coyne. of the La Plata. a skilled me-
chanic. Mr.. Coyne worked at this
trade for twenty-five years in the city
of Chicago prior to coming west and
taking up farming as a pursuit, and
has been employed on several big
buildings since locating in this sec
ton. The court house foundation is
an excellent one. Work of laying the
brick will commence in a short time
and will be pushed as fast as possible.
