What is Lexington county doing to-
wards bettering her public highways?
What effort, if any, is being made to
secure for her people what most OF
the other counties in the State are
securing-better roads? Isn't it time
high time-her people were giving
this matter serious thought and con-
sideration? The grand jury, in its
presentment, called attention to the
fact that the financial condition OF
the county was gratifying, but at the
same time took occasion to remind
the people that she is behind her less
nrosperous sister counties in the mat
ter of good roads. Why can't we
have as good roads as other counties?
There is no reason under high heaven
why we should not, and we appeal to
the people, as whole, to take up this
important matter at once. We be-
lieve, that with the proper spirit a
large amount could be raised for road
building and we venture to assert
tnat there is not man in the county
that will not take up the fight for bet
ter roads, even if they do have to go
down-deep down-into their pockets
to get them.

The session of criminal and civil
court just held at this place was a
farce, so far as clearing the docket
was concerned. Only two cases of a
more or less serious nature were dis
posed of on the criminal side of the
court and only one civil case, the
Judge adjourning court about O'Clock
Wednesday: The first week, or the
greater part of it, was consumed in
trying the Stockman case, and, OF
course, there was but little time for
anything else. But it does seem that
more than one case could have been
tried the second week: We urged all
along the great Importance of the
lawyers having their cases ready in
every instance, 80 that if there should
be a hitch in one another could be
taken up at once. This should be a
warning to our attorneys and we sin
cerely hope that the next term of
court will not come to such an ab-
rupt end.

The Lexington Dispatch says that a
cow and hog was killed by Every
sudden and unexpected Hash OF ngnt-
ning.n Wonder what kind OF hgnt-
ming the L Lexington cows and hogs are
accustomed to?-Pee-Dee Advocate.
We thought the article plain enough
for any one to understand, and we
are surprised that it was beyond the
comprehension Of the wise % editor
OF the Pee-Dee Advocate. Any man,
with any knowledge of the freaks OF
lightning, ought to know that there
are times, during electric storms,
when the lightning is so rapid that 1t
almost makes the hair rise on your
head, for fear that the next Hash
might strike 'syou.' Again there
are times when it rains for hours,
perhaps, and there is not sighn OF
lightning nor single roar OF thunder
to be heard anywhere, and, all OF a
sudden, there viii come a flash OF
lightning followed almost at the same
second by clap Of thunder which
shakes the houses around for mo-
ments. It is known, too, that these
dry freaks of lightning are the most
dangerous. Werecan similar oc-
currence several years ago, when'
seemingly, from clear sky, bolt OF
lightning struck clothes wire, not
leaving sign of the wire, and at the
same time tearing off one end OF the
kitchen. This was the kind of light
ming we had reference to in the artl-
Gle mentioned. Do you understand,
Brother Freeman?

Some of the papers are inclined to
"poke fun at the Georgia legislature
for passing what the people want-a
straightout prohibition law, some
going so far as to say that it will
prove .'farce" and be the cause of
many crimes. This is wrong. We
believe the people of Georgia, even
in the cities of Augusta and Atlanta,
will see that the law is upheld in
every instance. We are satisfied that
it will prove blessing to the people
of that great state, and not only to
the people of that state, but to the
people of many other states as well.
Georgia is going to have prohibition
indeed and in truth, SO much so, that
other states will follow her good ex-
ample and remove the abominable
liquor trafic from within their borders.
Now see!

All Praise to the s'Hello Girls

The telegraphers' strike in all parts
of the United States has caused a
great deal of inconvenience to the
newspapers, but the pretty "Hello
Girls" of the various telephone COM
panies have met the situation in a
way and manner that is deserving
more than passing notice. There are
no set of people that deserve more
praise than. these same "Hello Girls"
and in many instances they receive
nothing but abuse. We would like to
see the papers of the country, in all
fairness, give these hard-worked girls
the credit due them; for to them a
great portion of the news items that
appear in our great dailies, are due.
All praise to the 'Hello Girl!'

On account of the stringency of the
money question in New York, a de-
mand has been made on southern
banks for money due on notes. 1t is
gratifying to know that in each case
the demands of the New York institu-
tions have been granted, the southern
banks having ample funds to discount
all outstanding notes, and in so doing
have been able to make for the stock
holders a good per cent. Times seem
to have changed; the South no longer
has to look to the money kings of
New York for support, all of which
goes to show the general prosperity
of our Southland.

is obliged to reach the conclusion
that he is courting the southern
vote. At Lexington, KY, the other
day, he openly declared that the dis
franchisement of the negro is consti-
tutional. Mr.. Taft has an ''eye for

Dispensary Constable Johnson says
The Dispatch did him a great injus-
tice. He says that he captured three
gallons of ''booze'' during the month
of July when, we made it appear that
he did not capture 'ssingle gallon"
and received the sum of $3.50. He
says he has been, and is still doing,
his duty. We make the correction,
but are of the opinion that $3.50 was
an awfully high price to pay for three
gallons of liquor-blind tiger liquor,
at that.

is prohibited and in many cases the
stuff has already been captured. We
have heard of no violations of this
nature in Lexington county, but it

We would advise our farmers to
market their cotton with Judgment
and discretion. Do not rush the crop
on the market as fast as it is gath
cred, for if you do, the price will de-
cline for the time being, at least.
Cotton is worth about 1874 cents on
the local market today, and it should
not fall below that mark during the
entire season. Market your cotton
properly and the price will remain
where it is today.
