months and % days.
He was bright healthy babe, a
Joy to the household, and until
Christmas was in perfect health
when he had a cold, but on Friday
morning, the 18Th, he was accident
ally burned. It was a great shock
to the community and a severe loss
to the family. His little body was
laid to rest in Providence graveyard

was preached by the pastor, Rev.

We are glad to be Informed oy the
Columbia State, that Congressman
Lever is interesting himself in having
the wretched mail service now in
operation on the Augusta division OF
the Southern Railway improved. he
has laid the matter before the post
Office officials at Washington and he's
received assurances that the matter
will be given prompt attention and
the evils complained of will be rem
edied. The people of this part OF
the State have suffered long by rea-
son of the inefficient mail service
given them and they have just
cause for complaint. Much damage
has undoubtly been done to the bust
ness interest Of Columbis and the
chamber of commerce of that city
should certainly give Representative
Lever all the assistance and encour-
agement it possibly can to have the
evils complained of corrected. They
arise not so much from the schedules
now in operation on the Southern
Railway as they do from the failure
of trains to arrive on schedule time
It is rare thing for the noon train
to arrive on time. Often it is delayed
three or four hours and many times
longer which is great Inconvenience
to the business interest along it's line.

By reference to an advertisement
insan another column of this issue it
will be seen that an application will
be made to the Secretary of State on
the 9th day of March next, for
charter incorporating the Augusta
and Columbia railway company. We
are not fully informed at this time
the precise route this line will take
in connecting the town of Aiken with
the city of Columbia, but what infor-
nation is in our possession leads US
to the conclusion that the purpose Of
the promoters of this scheme is to
build an electric railway between
the points named above in as near an
air line as possible. II this be a correct
statement of the plan, then this line
will be of no practical benefit to the
village of Lexington and but little to
that portion of Lexington county
through which it proposes to pass, be
cause in the Grst instance it will leave
the town Of Lexington say some four
or Eve miles to the left and in the
second the territory through which
it proposes to traverse is already
amply covered by the Perry Exten-
sion of the Southern Railway and the
Sesbosrd Air Line railway on the one
hand and the Augusta end Of the
Southern on the other.
This writer does not with to be
construed as being opposed to this
project nor does he wish to be under
stood as committing the Dispatch to
any line OF policy in reference to
electric railways. His object is only
to keep before the eye of the business
men of Columbis and the progre' .
sive spirit of Lexington few thoughts
worthy of consideration.
In keeping with the progressive
spirit of the times demand for
quicker means of transportation be-
tween the field of production and the
market of a given commodity has
arisen and to meet this demand ss
we'll as to accommodate the require
ments OF the producer and consumer
as cheaply and as quickly as possb =.
advanced thinkers of this age when
'.time is money" have almost unani-
mously centered upon electricity as
means to this end. It is our opinion
that the day is dawning when this
county, as we'll as some others,
will be a perfect net work of electric
railways, because the commercial in
terests of the county requires this
result and all the signs point in
that direction. We expect to see the
day when the mea1 Is of Transports
tion will be completely revolutionized.
That instead of animals being the
power for locomotion electricity will
largely be used for such purposes. It
will not then be sn unsusl sight to
see the electric cars whirling through
the county loaded with passengers
and products bound to and from
their market.
In our opinion the road that will
be of more value to the people of
this place and vicinity, as we'll as to
Columbia, LeesvilIe, Batssburg, Sa-
luds and points beyond, is the Lex
ington and Columbia route, but as
neither, however, antagonizes the
other, occupying territory in differ
ent sections of the county, we can
see no reason why both roads can
not be built.

THE MEN AND WOMEN
Who Enjoy the Choicest Products
of the Worlds Commerce.
Knowledge of What Ia Best More Inn
pOrtant Than Wealth With
out Ii.

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only.
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting. enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts Their commentator, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above Is true
not of food products only, but is espe-
clally applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world. as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality Is
due not only to the excellence Of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
syrup Co., which ensures that unltormi-
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use. Ask any physi-
clan who is well informed and he will
answer at once that 1t is an excellent
laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro-
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon theSsys-
tenn he will tell you that 1t is the best
of family laxatives, because 1t is SIM
pie and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
a laxative is needed, without any un-
pleasant after-effects. Every weli-in-
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it. at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tie, because 1t gives general satisfac-
ton, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs 1t is necessary to buy the
genuine, which Is sold in original pack
ages only; the name of the remedy
Syrup OF Figs and also the full name of
the Company-C California Fig Syrup Co.
printed on the front of every package.

IRISH TO OWN EMERALD ISLE.
Wyndham's Bill Paves the Way to
That Reform.

That Reform.
London.-The Irish secretary, Mr..
Wyndham, has introduced the govern
ment's long anticipated Irish land bill
in the house of commons. 1t proposes
a free grant of $50, 100000 for the pur-
poses of the bill. Tenants are to pay
3 IA per cent interest on loans from
the government. Mr.. Wyndham said
he thought the scheme would not in
volve 100000, 900, but that $3.50. 900, 900
could safely be advanced on Irish land.
The advances to tenants are limited
to $4,000 in the congested districts and
$4,000 elsewhere. The bill also pro-
vides that untenanted farms and graz
ing lands shall be sold to neighboring
tenants, and that three commission
ers, to be known as estate commission
ers, shall supervise the sales. The
names of the three commissioners are
Michael Finucane, secretary to the
government Of Bengal, revenue, gen.
eral and statistical departments;
Frederick Wrench, now one of the
Irish land commissioners, and William
F. Bailey, one of the assistant COM
missioners on the Irish land question.
They will be under the control of the
lord lieutenant Of ireland. The bill
will become effective November IL.

Greenville, Miss, March S0-The
backwater from La Grande crevasse
is rising slowly and nearly all of the
city is submerged. Business is para
lyzed and people in the southern Sec
ton of the city are moving about in
skiffs. The rise in the last "a hours
has been two inches. The reports sent
out from here that the city is in dan
ger of destruction are highly exag-
gerated. The facts do not warrant
such statements, while rumors of
great loss of life are absolutely with.
out foundation, so far as is known.
Relief parties with boats have been
at work rescuing people in the path
of the flood and the refugees are
brought here.
1t was said that the mayor had
instructed the city engineer to cut
the protection levee in the northern
part Of the city, as it is believed it
will be the means of letting the water
out through Fish lake. The country
beyond the lake is much lower than
the city and if the levee is cut it will
stop the rise in Greenville and carry
off much of the water now in the city.
The shutdown of the electric light
plant is serious inconvenience to the
people and lanterns in skiffs may be
seen throughout the town at night.
The flood situation outside of Green
vile remains practically unchanged.
The waters have covered thousands of
of 1Ik Co..
sweeping south of Vicksburg. The
loss will be heavy, but it is impossible
to give anything like correct esti-
