ALL DEMOCRATIC.
Paw Paw village Elections are Endorse
ment of Past Administrations.

In the Paw Paw village election, every
thing went democratic by good MAORI
ties. The policy of past administrations
has been approved by the people, and no
fault can reasonably he found il lavish
expenditures and municipal improve
ments be continued. Indeed, such should
be expected and seem to be demanded
by the voters. IL such is to be the policy
OF the village, why not extend the sewer
system and pave Main street, Both are
improvements very much to be desired,
and il the money is to be expended,
The True Northerner hopes to see it put
into good and permanent improvements.
There were 1872 votes cast, OF which
40 were straight democrat, 90 straight
republican. Following is the vote for
all candidates:

Death always brings sorrow to surviv-

leaves seemingly no mitigating circum-
stances attending it; but seldom has the
inevitable end of life come, when sur
rounding il were SO many pleasant recol-

parted was so soothed by the reflection
that the end had come in precisely the
way so ardently desired. So the lives of

last week They were i'll about two
weeks both at the same time. Mr.. Coy
died Tuesday evening and Mrs. Coy
"a hours later He was 81 and she 50
years of age. They were brought up in
the same school district, were married
April II. 1871, and celebrated cheir Goth
wedding anniversary nearly two years
ago. The death of an only daughter in
early womanhood cast a deep shadow
over their lives. Except for that, their
lives had run in smooth channels. max

The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1903-01-07

The new steamboat for the river
line between Columbia and George
town is expected to be let out by
contract in few days. It's capacity
is to be about 220 tons. This line
will aid considerable in the develop
merit OF Columbia. It is something
that has been long needed but only
recently made possible by tho i'm
provement of the Congaree river
by the government. It will doubt
less be remembered that through the
efforts of Senator Tillman Congress
appropriated $4,000 per annum
for the improvement of this river at
Columbis by building dam, WIDEN
ing and deepening the chanpel. This
work has been progressing for the
past year or 80 and is now almost in
a state of completion. The value of
this work, to the commercial interest
of Columbia and the territory &C.
pendent upon the Congaree, Wateree
and Sautee river, for transportation
facilities, cannot be over estimated.
1t is safe to say that the river swamps
will soon re-echo with the sound of
the steamboat whistle and the alliga-
tor disturbed in his sun bath by the
splash of the paddle wheels.

Millions Of Oranges.

Latest estimates are that the
Florida orange crop, about one-half
Of which has bsen shipped from the
State, will yield 10000 boxes. Local
dealers are already getting their
share of the crop, but within the
the next few weeks the markets here
will be stocked with delicious fruit
from the Indian River section.
There will be about 100000 boxes OF
the large size of fruit. Oranges run
from 80 to $50 per box, 12S being
standard size. The crop is averag-
ing the growers about 81 Is on the
trees. The best part of the fruit is
purchased before it is picked. "We
will have an abundance of fine fruit
here this winter" said dealer yes
terday. ''There is always big de-
nsnd for Florida oranges, due mainly
to The fact that the fruit is sweet
and deliciously favored. OF course,
there are big shipments from other
sections, but the Florida goods are
never drug on the market"

The United States treasury started

than this or any other government
ever held at any time before. There
is now held in the treasury building
in Washington and in the various

holdings are four times as much as
the present holdings of the Bank of
