Wednesday, December II. 1906.

Years ago the Dispatch called notice
to the public generally the advisability
and the great Importance of "a railroad
along the route now proposed by the
South Carolina Public Service Corpo-
. ration, and since our first mention OF
the matter we have occasionally urged
it upon the attention of the people at
large and we are delighted that the
matter seems now to be taking some
definite shape.
The promotion of such an enter
prise win be of untold advantage to
the people in the community through
which the electric road will pass and
we dare say it win prove a profitable
undertaking for those who invest
their money in it.
While there are now fair prospects
for the building of this road, the peo-
pie should not forget to lend their aid
and encouragement. We say there
are fair prospects because we cannot
conceive how these capitalists of the
north would be spending large sums
of money sending business men and
engineers over the proposed route if
they did not mean business. Just
think for q moment what it would
cost TO place thirty engineers in the
field for so days and that alone. You
catch the idea.
While we firmly believe that Lex
mgton county will prove a renumer-
alive field for the money and labors
of capitalists, at the same time we
should not forget that there are other
fruitful fields for investments in this
State and others.
s Now is the time for Lexingtonians
to put their shoulders to the wheel
and secure this road. Work for it;
encourage it; figure on it.
It is proposed that the road shall be
BIG miles in length. Of that about
Z -
80 miles viii be in Lexington county.
It is estimated that it will cost $40, 600
per mile to construct it. On account
of the uniform levelness of theground
we venture the assertion that it will
not take so much in this county, but
using that as a basis it viii be seen
=
that in the neighborhood of 81, ,Ooo, ,Ooo
will be expended in this county. Sup
pose though it goes on the tax books
at half that sum 600, ,O0O) the taxable
property of the county will be greatly
Increased; and as result thereof
we can see no reason why it would
not reduce the taxes of this county to
an appreciable extent.

defendant is tried before a jury of his neighbors. MT. Dawson was a rank outsider His case arose in Tempe precinct but he brought it here on a change of venue. He has charge of the old Broadway ditch which, running through his land, is kept in a pretty good state of repair. but after leaving his fields it had fallen into neglect. With a normal capacity of 20 inches, it is said that outside the lands of the defendant it will crowd it in it's pres ent state to carry thirty inches. This condition of affairs naturally resulted in the flooding of the road The only defense offered by MT. Dawson was that some of his neighbors had been guilty of the same offense.
 But the story of this litigation can not be all told without a tribute to the fearlessness and self sacrifice with which Assistant District Attorney Bull lard performed a painful duty. His name will take its place in history be- side that of Lycurgus, the stern and just lawgiver of Sparta. It was the theory of that famous old Spartan that laws were made to be robeyed and when his favorite son violated one of them, he was condemned to death by his father in spite of the intercession of friends who pleaded the prominence of the youth, and the unimportance of the infraction- But he had to die.

BULL DOG" PICKET
 GOREO BY A SEER
1t Will Be Weeks Before He Can Give
 His Unique Exhibition.

Bulldog" Pickett is about as game in all the west. His daring and game ness has however, worked for once against him and it is more than likely that it will be many weeks before he will again appear in an exhibition. Yesterday, at Eastlake park, he met with an accident when the program was about ended in which a wild steer bored a hole in his right thigh about four inches in depthI The accident happened just as Pickett was leaving his running horse to jump on the steers back. In some way. he does not know how, his foot caught in the stirrup of his saddle and his right thigh was thrown upon the steers horn.
 But notwithstanding the injury, he was game and while he did not throw the steer, he did not let anyone know how very painful the accident was, but on which he had a few hours previous ridden to the park. When Dr. Craig examined the wound he pro- nounced it very serious and at once forbade his patient from participating in the exhibition planned for today In fact, he said it would be several weeks before Pickett would have good use of the injured limb.
 Previous to the accident at the park Bulldog" had made two Of the pret- tiest throws of a steer that had ever been witnessed on local grounds. With apparent ease he secured the back of the wild steer, grabbed the horns threw himself forward and at the same time threw the steer. The crowd cheered itself hoarse. but Pickett ap- peared to have enjoyed the sport he had had with the animal more than he did the praise of the grand stand.
 Besides the steer throwing there were two exhibitions of bronco busting that were fine. The broncos were two that had run wild on the ranges of w. w. Cook and Jack Gibson above New River for many years, and they had been roped and brought to town for this particular exhibition. They had been brought into town in the morn ing and were naturally made nervous by the crowds and the town While in this condition they were bridIed and saddled, one by Ramon Runaway. and the other by Manuel Ortega, and all though not by any means were they finally subdued, the partial tanning of them was most interesting.
 On account of the accident to Pick ett and having in mind the fact that he had never disappointed a crowd, Jack Gibson, under whose management the exhibition advertised for yester- day and today was given, decided to call off the show for today and no ex- hibition will take place. Mir. Gibson could have presented a most interest ing steer tying show. but he had ad- vertised to show Bulldog" Pickett and when on account of the accident, unable to do so, he decided that the ex- hibition for today would be called off

A BROKEN RECORD
 IN WATER LITIGATION
A Han Convicted by a Jury, Of Flood
 ing the Road.

w. L. Dawson of the south side was yesterday tried before Justice Burnett for the crime of neglecting to take care of the waste water of his ditch. He was convicted before a jury which recommended him to the mercy of the court. No fine was imposed, but it was adjudged that the defend ant should pay the costs, which amounted to sS0 This is said to be the first time that one was ever convicted
 in this precinct of any irregularity concerning irrigating water, if his case was tried before a jury The de-
 fendant admits in vain that he did the things charged against him. The jury almost invariably refuses to believe the confession, but relentlessly acquits him. There may even be corroborat- ing evidence of his guilt, but 1t is not allowed to influence the deliberations of the jury. But all this is where the

 Three of the mines are fully devei- oped with over a million dollars worth of ore in sight and blocked out ready for stOping and estimated to .,ontain several times as much more
 The other eleven claims have been thoroughly prospected as to the rich ness of the ore, but not sufficiently de- veloped to definitely state the volume But reliable experts claim they con- tain ore values of many million dol lars
 There has been expended in the work of development more than S150.000 to demonstrate the extent Of the ore DOC ies in three of the mines.
