Congaree Toll Bridge.

Does the charter giving authority
to operate the Congaree river toll
bridge require that a bridge be oper-
ated across Saluda river also? If so,
in as much, as this is not being done,
is the charter valid?
Is it fact that the conditions of
the charter allow that not over GER
tain specified rate of interest be
made on the amount invested? What
per cent is now being made?
Is the charter giving authority to
operate ferry at the foot Of Senate
street valid in as much as no ferry
has been operated there in years, and
the charter is only held to shut out
competition and control the rates of
toll? If so, is such a condition just
and right, and must such state: of
affairs have no end?

The petition for an election to vote
the dispensary back into Newberry
county failed by 161 signatures. We
hope the same thing win happen in
Union county when it comes to a test.
We do not need to have the corrupt
and corrupting machinery Of county
dispensary operating in Union. There
is no doubt Of the fact that there is an
increasing determination on the part
of the people to put down the whis-
key trafic.-Union Times.
The above from the Union Times is
noteworthy inasmuch as that paper is
published in a prohibition county.
Union, like Newberry, has had a dose
of the dispensary and the people do
not want them back. That is not all,
they are not going to have them back.
Lexington county do not need the
dispensary either, but, like many
other counties in the State, she has
them all the same and can't help her
self at present, but the time is coming
when she will rid herself of these
abominable and notorious institutions
Institutions that are fast dragging
her people down to the lowest depths
of perdition. Indeed, there is an in
creasing determination on the part of
the people of this county to put down
the whiskey traffic.

Delirhtful Automobile Ride.

1t was our pleasure to enjoy a de-
lightful automobile ride in Columbia
on Sunday last with Mr.. j. Tally
Hearth, the energetic and popular
CITY electrician. We rode out by
Hyatt's Park, the dairy farm of Mr..
Hyatt and his fine residence and the
beautiful residence of DR.. j. F.
Ensor. 1t is wonderful to see how
many improvements have been made
in that portion of Columbia in the
past year or two. No other portion
of the city's suburbs has grown so
much. We assure Mr.. Hearth that
we greatly enjoyed his kindness and
it will be our pleasure to join him
again on some future date.

dispensary on Saturday afternoons,
which has become almost intolerable.
It has been favorite place for both
negroes and whites to resort for the
purpose of drinking liquor and beer,
and at the same time using all kinds
of profane and indecent language
language that would make the devils
in hell blush with shame.
This place has been reported to
Mayor Taylor as nuisance and ne
has charged the policemen to arrest
on the spot and bring before his Honor
all parties found in this place using
language in anywise unbecoming a
gentleman.
This practice is not only against the
laws of the town, but is an open and
public violation of the present dispen-
sary law, which declares in section
20, that, "All places where persons
are permitted to resort for the pur-
pose of drinking alcoholic liquors or
beverages are hereby declared null
sances," etc.
The mayor is to be commended for
his brave and manly action in this
matter and if the other members of
the council, the citizens of the town
and the police, will give him the nee.
essary support, it will not be long be-
fore he will have this nuisance and
all other lawlessness stamped out.
Thanks, Mayor Taylor.

expense?

President Finley of the Southern
Railway company was arrested in
Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday.
The arrest was made at the instiga-
tion of Glenn and grew out of the
failure of the Southern to comply
with the new railway rate law, which
recently went into effect in that state.
Reducing passenger rates to 2Ac per
mile. When such high officials are ar
rested, one would judge that the whole
country is beginning to realize that a
higher regard for law is necessary,
and at the same time shows that the
Chief Executive of North Carolina is
nc. .respector of persons.

Messrs. J. L. Mfmnaugh & Co., the
well known Columbia department
store, has a change of advertisement
in this issue of The Dispatch. The
midsummer bargains at this great
store are too numerous to mention
and should be seen to be appreciated.
This firm is too well known to the
people of this county to need any
recommendation from us. We would
advise our readers, however, to 60 to
Mimnaugh's while IN the city and you
will not find it necessary to 60 else
where to make your purchases.

On Monday, August twelve, Judge
Charles G. Dantzler of Orangeburg,
will open the sessions of criminal
court for this county. In view of the
fact that the court will only run one
week and the very large number of
cases that are to be tried. it is hoped
thai the members of the bar will have
the docket so arranged that every
case possible may be disposed Of.
There should be no hitch in the pro-
ceedings at all; every minute should
be used in trying cases. The law
yers can aid the Judge to great ex-
tent and we believe they will.

two dollars per day and expenses, the
salary to be paid out of the net pro-
fits of the dispensary. This, to our
mind, seems entirely unnecessary, for
it is generally conceded that the Of
ficer will not capture enough "blind
tiger'' liquor to pay his expense much
less his salary. AS matter of fact,
there are "blind tigers" just as many
if not more than there will be under
a prohibition law, but the constable
will not find them. Then, why this
expense?

We notice from the statements of
the various county dispensary boards,
as given out by Dispensary Auditor
West, that the Lexington board is the
only one in the State that fails to
give the breakage account. In COM
menting on the situation Mr.. james
A. Hoyt, the Columbia correspondent
of the Charleston News and Courier,
says:

portant, as it may be used to cover a
multitude of sins. 1t will be well for

The Columbia Hospital.

It is indeed gratifying to note that
the Columbia hospital has grown to
be such wonderful institution for
s the, care of the sick and the allevia-
tion of pain. Just fourteen years ago
this institution was organized through
the untiring efforts of the good, true
and noble women of Columbia, and
by their work, from year to year, it
has grown more popular and into
greater proportions than its friends
anticipated or even dreamed Of.
To-day the Columbia hospital is equal
to any hospital in the entire south,
and many improvements are to be
made during the present year.
Itwas our privilege to visit the hos
pital a few days ago, and as an evil
dence of the wide popularity of this
institution, every room, and ward in
the building is full now, and we were
told that the same conditions prevail
throughout the year. In fact, many
patients are turned away on account
of there being no room, and just time
room is vacated there are several
applicants waiting to be admitted.
DR.. LeGrand Query, one of the
most noted surgeons of the State, DR..
Peters, DR.. Mcintosh and DR.. Boozer,
have performed some of the most
tedious and seemingly miraculous
operations at this Institution that has
ever been performed in any part Of
the world.
The hospital is managed by Miss
Kay, specialist, from Johns-Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore, aud with the
assistance of large number of beau
tiful trained nurses, the patients get
the very best attention. Indeed, all
hospitals would be a failure without
the nurses for, who can picture any
thing more charming, more helpful
in alleviating suffering, than to look
into the face of sympathizing, gen
tie, and modest young woman? just
to touch the hem of her garment
would make any ones thoughts of
sickness, pain and death, vanish as
the dew before the MONDAY sun.
This, and more too, can truly be said
Of the young women connected with
the Columbis hospital.
This hospital is filing . longfelt
want, not only in the Capitol city,
but throughout the State. You
can get just a. good treatment at this
hospital IS you can get in the larger
institutions OF the country, and at
much less expense.

Crowned With Love and Honor.

It is not always in this uncertain
and often unresponsive world that a
man or woman, ashe or she grows old,
is crowned with the love and honor to
which their good lives entitle them.
But not under this head comes our old
and beloved friend, the Hon. w. Fl.
Zimmerman, of Batesburg. He was
in our town last week, and it was a
very great pleasure for our whole town
to greet him. He is noble son OF
Edgefeld; and his high, pure and
generous record has brought him the
love and honor and troops of friends
he so we'll eserves.-Edgefeld Chron'
ical.

For reasons entirely satisfactory to
itself The Times and Democrat has had
nothing to say pro or con for several
weeks about the proposed County of
Calhoun, which the people of st.
Matthews are trying to establish.
Notwithstanding this, the, mongrel
sheet published at st. Matthews has
been filed every week with base lies
and misrepresentation of The Times
and Democrat and it's senior editor.
We have not noticed these attacks,
believing and hoping that they would
cease, but they continue right on, and
we are forced to believe that the man
who writes them wants to make it
personal matter.
One F. G. Cain, we understand,
claims to be the writer of the edi-
torials that appear in the sheet we
mention above: Now we do not pro-
pose to handy any words with this
fellow, who is too dirty to handle ex-
cept with a pair of tongs, but we do
not propose to allow any such a rene
gade, sneak and liar as he is to make
The Times and Democrat or its editor
the subject of his cheap wit. If this
renegade or scallawag, as such fellows
used to be called, thinks there is any
Ramcy Snif1es' tactics about the edi-
tor of The Times and Democrat he can
very easily find out by testing it.
We apologize to our readers for the
strong language we use in this article,
but we have been driven to it by the
lies and Misrepresentation of this
dirty fellow, who should not be allow
ed to speak to respectable people let
alone associate with them. He has
presumed upon our respect for peace
and good order to lie on us week after
week in his mongrel sheet, but for
bearance has ceased to be virtue
with us. 1t is not pleasant to be COM
PEELED to denounce a fellow man for
all that is vile and mean, but some
times, and this is one of them, when
there is no help for it whatever
the consequences may be, as we are
bound to defend our honor with our
life if need be.-Orangeburg Times
and Democrat.

Hobson Holds Different View.

New York, Feb. 2.--In an address
here last night. Captain Richmond p.
Hobson, speaking OF the Japanese
question said:
The ultimatum which Japan has
given this country says: Take our
people to your public schools In Cal
ifornia or take the consequence,
That is only a pretext. The trouble
is. Japan wants control of the com
merce and markets Of the far east,
She Is determined to drive America
out of the Philippine Islands. II the
Panama canal was completed. we
might be able to protect the Pacific
coast. but we are helpless now and
should Japan strike, the Philippines
and Hawaiian islands would be lost
TO us. This Is the real situation.
and It is a pity We have not strong
fleets ON both the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans to protect our interests
and keep Japan from attacking us.
War with Japan is inevitable unless
we can convince financiers OF Eu-
rope and the people that there Is
really no cause for Japan to 90 to
war with US.
