Let the Work 60 3ravely On.

For q number of years We have
had an abiding faith in the future of
Lexington. It's Environments are
such as to make it a very desirable
place for residence or business. It
is eligibly situated on seven hills
m aking it's sanitary conditions un-
surpassed. We recognized, how
ever, that the field was ripe for it's
improvement and that the one thing
needful to accomplish this was for
our people to leave the old beaten
tracks made by our grandfathsrs,
come together with one fixed pur-
porse in view and make a strong and
determined effort to accomplish great
,hings for Lexington. Tnis, we are
glad to say our people are beginning
to do and already the good(y fruits of
suc1 eff,rt are being realized. The
Dispatch has kept hammering away
a'oog the line of progress until to LAY,
VIII condili3ns sre t near what
this paper would like to see and what
il firmly believes they will be in the
oear future, yet on the whole they
are very satisfactory. When we
commenced the campaign for i'm
provement, there were but two brick
buildings-the court house and jal
There was no cotton mill. no saw
mill, no enterprise of any kind, ex
cept one turpentine still, energy was
apparently sleeping and the wheels
OF progress clogged.
NV, however, a chsnge has come
over the spirit of our dreams. Since
then a cotton factory has been put
in successful operation; there ale two
large planning and saw mills, seven
brick buildings already erected. Be-
sides this our town has over doubled
in population; number of dwell
ings have been erected; many stores
have been enlarged and improved,
there are two drug stores, two banks
and numerous other business houses.
Ia the near future, in fact prepa-
ratons have been commenced for the
enlargement of the Lexington factory
to near double it's present floor room.
DR.. Hendrix is thinking of utilizing
his available space by enlarging his
drug store from the Department
store to that of Mr.. J. W. Long.
Mr.. Samuel B George has under
consideration the proposition Of tear
ing down the old wooden building
occupied by 81. M. Wingard and the
and putting up hand
some block of buildings. There are
other improvements in 'soak" which
will be realities in the near future.
Let the good work go bravely on.

Reasons 20. Voting "Yes."

R5aSo0S 20. SI-saS 4 is.
There is no a.ns,lou but what the
free bridge measure is gaining friends
every day and there are reasonable
grounds for hope that the measure
will go through alright. Our people
are favorably disposed toward the
project and as soon as they can dis
abuse their minds from the impress
sion that the bridge will be debt
for their posterity to pay in the years
to come, they will vote for the free
bridge. The proposition is to levy
tax of only l mill on the dollar for
three years this tax will raise reve-
nue. of $13,50O in round numbers.
A bid is now on file in the County
Commissioners office from q respon-
sible concern to build the centre
bridge for $4,000 10 three years
time the bridge will have been paid
for-the debt wiped out-and leave
balance of say 81, 500 in the treas
ury as a nucleus for one CT the
other two proposed bridges, and the
people will never feel the small tax
they have paid.
As to the reason why our people
ON the south side of Saluda should
vote for the free bridge is pretty gen
orally understood. They have had
their streams we'll spanned with
bridges, while until but few years
ego the people of the Fork have had
but few, yet they have paid uncom-
plaingly their proportionste share Of
taxes to build the bridges on the
south side, hence it is right and pro-
per that they should enjoy the same
conveniences that We do, and for the
further reason that they should be
given an outlet to maike5 and their
county seat. As it is now they are
re quiz ed to take part of their pro-
ducts to pay their ferriage either
going to market or attending to
otaer business or pleasure. Is this
right? Place yourself'in the same
position and see the result. l.
should not be question upon which
should be allowed to hinge
to prevent you from doing an act of
simple justice.
II the Commissioners had proceed.
sd with the erection OF the bridge,
which they should have done, the
people would have been perfectly |
satisfied.
Build the bridge and open a free
srry ut Amick's and at Dreher's !
until in a few years We can span the
liver with two more bridges one at |
;he upper line where the people of |
he Piney Woods section can take
advantage Of the splendid markets
1t Leesville and B .tesb burg, by which
Ill would he benefited. These two
owns would no doubt do what Lex
ngton proposes to do, supplement
,er bridge tax thus relieving the
people of u portion of the burden
nd relieving the people in remote
corners Of their share of the tax on |
'sme. Tnen build bridge connect
ng Lower Folk with Brooklsnd and
Columbia and these two places will !
their share of the money
necessary to build the bridge. These
bridges will unquestionably be built
n time, then why not have them
low when we can enjoy their advsn-
ages while we are alive and not |
cave it for our children to do what |
Pe should have done for ourselves. !
Then vote ior the bridge.
