The speech Of Dolphin M. Delmas
before the Thaw jury in New York
viii be read by more people, perhaps,
than any speech ever delivered before
10 jury in the United States. While
the great advocate is pleading for the
release Of his client, men, women and
children throughout the universe are
sending up prayers to the great
triune God, who sets upon the circles
OF the Heavens, for the speedy ac-
squittal Of the slayer Of the man who
prostituted maidenhood in New York.
May the eloquent appeal of the noble
advocate and the prayers of Christian
men and women be answered!

In another column we publish an
article by Mr.. McDavid Horton, city
editor of the Columbia Daily Record,
in which he lays bare before the peo-
pie of this county and the business
men Of Columbia, the great necessity
and Importance of having free bridges
over the Congaree and Broad rivers.
tits time high time-for the people
to realize this great need; it is time
something should be done, and Mr.
Horton, realizing this fact, outlines
very feasible plan whereby these
tolls may be removed and thus give
the farmers Of Lexington county an
inlet into one of the best produce
markets in the South. As Mr.. Hor-
ton points out, it would mean large
increase in business for the merchants
Of Columbia, as well as a saving to
those living on this side Of the rivers.
The Dispatch stands ready at any
and all times to cooperate with our
contemporaries and the citizens OF
Columbia and Richland county in any
master that viii benefit and promote
the futare prosperity Of our county,
and when we say this we think we
speak for the majority Of the farmers
and bnsiness men of the county.
The Dispatch has long been an adj
vocate Of free bridges and ferries. and
I to this end we have worked for many
wears. That the city Of Columbia,
through the untiring efforts of The
Record, realizes the need of closer
communion with the farmers of Lex
ington is most gratifying to us.
While the plan laid out by The Rec
ord means that Columbia obtain these
free bridges herself by bonds, with
out the aid of the people of this
county, we feel safe in saying that
on people viii, at the proper time,
contribute literally and aid ia any pos
sible way. The citizens of Lexington
county are men Of good Judgment and
could not let this golden opportunity
pass to aid a cause wherein they will
receive so much benefit for such q
small outlay.
Let Columbia and Lexington join
hands in this work and the bridges
viii be free. United we stand,
divided we fall.

The Lexington county dispensary
board was the f st in the State to tiie
their report with the dispensary aud
itor. The report is very gratifying to
the management. 1t shows, among
other things, that the people of this
county are still fond Of the dispensary
article, and indicates, also, that the
profits will be even greater under the
new system than under the Old. The
Dispensaries in Lexington county are
in good hands, and that they will con-
tirue to bring in a handsome revenue
for the county is foregone conclu-
sion.

The city council of Columbia have
put into effect an ordinance prohibit
ing the barber shops from doing busi-
ness on Sunday. Columbia is getting

tol on the Sabbath. How times have
mended! ssPure water" instead OF

The action of Judge Gary in closing
the court in Greenville because the
LAWYERS had no cases ready should be
q warning to all lawyers, who have
cases to be tried in court where he
presides. Judge Gary refused to hold
2 third week court, because he had
accomplished nothing in two weeks,
and remarked that she would go where
there was something to do" 1fthere
were more Judges like Judge Earnest
Gary. there would be less contested

Joseph Jerome Lafrancais de La

of a century ago. differed from New

ranged matters as to make collision of
the earth with comet impossible and
wrote paper to prove that it was
only very improbable. This paper.
which was to have been read with 9th
ers before tie French academy on
certain day IN l7T3. got crowded out,
but the Partisan public, hearing of ii.
made up its mind that Lalande had
predicted the impending destruction OF
the earth and such panic ensued that
the police had to order the publication
of the paper to reassure the public
mind. But even then it was popularity
believed that the paper had been delib-
erately toned down and comet nanics
continued for quarter of century.

The Ministerial Association
Decides Upon a Delay.
RESOLUTIONS ARE DRAWN.

j. Wilbur Chapman, the Famous
evangelist. will not :. be brought To
Richmond for some time. according
to tie decision of the Ministerial AS
ISOLATION. The plan was To hive Mr..
Chapman and his evangeistic forces
come to Richmond. and give the city
a thorough religious awakening. but
the item of expense figured so large
ly in the matter that IL was thought
best to postpone the meeting indefi-
nitely. The matter of holding Lem
ten union revival next year was con-
sidered. and II is highly probable that
such will be held. but no outside evan
gelist will be brought 10 Richmond
for this purpose, each individual pas
tor taking the work upon himself.
The matter Of holding separate meet
ings at the various churches during
the coming fall and winter viii be left
entirely with the pastors and their
individual congregations.
At the meeting OF the preachers, res
olutions were drawn up for the Revs.

will leave the city soon. They were
praised for the work they had done in

intellect that man has risen to the

advances the worlds civilization. This
the printing press has done as nothing
else has done. and therefore to the

tracks are now laid The number of
the roads mentioned in the franchise
