The registration books of Ba rnwell
county have not been revised in eleven
wears. We don't know how long it
has been since the registration books
Of this county have been revise d, but
it is well known fact that it has
been several years. The law require
that boards of registration revise the
books two weeks before every elec-
ton, and Governor Ansel is going to
see to it that the law is thoroughly
complied with in every county in the
State.

CIRCULATION 1854.
Wednesday, July II, 1907.

The facts and figures are before the
people of the Sandy Run section, who
have been so unfortunate as to come
within the scope of the new county
promoters. There is no need for the
self-designing schemers OF this pro-
iect to try to fool these good people
by picturing all kinds of beautiful
and, seemingly, impressive facts,
which, in reality, are no more than a
ssbag OF deception Who, in the
name OF common-sense, would be 80
unfair, so prejudiced as to deny the
paramount fact that taxes will be
much higher in this same territory
should the new county be formed?
How can the people Of Sandy Run
expect to have their taxes lower in
the new county, when at the present
time land in Lexington county is as
sessed at one dollar and fifty cents
per acre, while the land in Orange.
burg, just across the line, is assessed
at three dollars and fifty cents per
acre? Judge for yourselves, gentle
men. Legitimate taxes must be
raised to meet the necessary expenses
of a county government, and certainly
any one must admit that it will re-
qune more money, proportionately,
to run small counties than large ones.
It is claimed by the advocates that
we have nothing to do with this mat
Ter. It is true we have no vote, but
we have a voice, especially when 9th
ers are going to get in trouble; and
we are sure to be injured ourselves by
their mistake.
We are satisfied that the originators
Of this proposed new county will adj
NIT that the taxes are bound to be
raised. Who but the taxpayers are
going to pay the officers that are to
run this new county? Who but the
taxpayers are going to pay for
courthouse and jail? Who but the
taxpayers are going to meet the many
other necessary expenses that will as
surely come as the day follows night?
Who but the residents of the new
county win pay for transferring Of real
estate deeds and other property?
These are questions that should be
seriously considered by the voters Of
Sandy Run township before they cast
their votes for the formation of this
new county.

It seems equally as hard to get in
dictments against violators of the
county dispensary law as it was
against those violating the State in
s.itution, but Attorney General Lyon
don't fail to make the effort all the
same. It is better to have tried and
failed than to have not tried at all.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1907-07-17

Governor Ansel and Attorney Gen
eral Lyon are making it "hot'' for

good work going on, gentlemen; II
you can't stop them you can make
them go slower.

new county

While In Columbia last week we
made it point to visit the market at
an early hour Friday morning to see
what part Lexington farmers take in
supplying the needs OF Columbia's
population in the way Of vegetables
and produce. We found probably
forty or fifty wagons loaded with va
rious kinds Of vegetables, chickens,
eggs, butter, etc.-eyery one of them
from this county, with but few excep-
lions. We believe that fully three
fourths of the vegetables and such
like sold in Columbia at this season of
the year, are raised by Lexington
farmers. This is saying much but it
is an undisputed fact nevertheless.
Farmers find ready sale for their
produce in the capitol city and re-
ceive good, prices for the same.
Beans were bringing s1.00 per bushel;
corn 121s cents per dozen; squash and
cucumbers 10 to Is cents per dozen;
tomatoes so to Is cents per peck;
beets 5 and 10 cents per bunch; grown
and frying size chickens 80 to so cents
a piece. The market seemed to be
well stocked with cantelopes and
muskmelons, but watermelons were
scarce and of very poor quality.
Richland's truck business has grown
considerably to what it used to be,
the farmers of that county taking
much greater interest in the truck
raising industry. But Lexington still
leads along this line, many of the
growers of this county making daily
trips to Columbia. Most of them have
regular customers and supply them
the year around. This pays much
better than cotton as a money crop,
and furnishes those engaged in the
business with ready cash throughout
the year.
This brings US once more to the
importance of having free bridges
over the Congaree and Broad rivers.
There is no estimating the immense
value that would surely follow both
to Lexington and Columbia. Some
thing should be done to relieve the
situation. At meeting of the Co.
elumbia Chamber of Commerce several
weeks ago, committee was appointed
to look after the matter, but nothing
has vet been done 80 far as we know.
Lexington and Columbia are greatly
Handicapped and their resources
checked by these everlasting bridge
tolls. What has the committee done?

wound up such affairs as It could and

this paper. some good bills were pass.

much time. Log rolling. trading and

TRIAL OF CASES BEFORE JUDGE
LANDS BEGUN AND THE
FIGHT Is ON.

CHICAGO, March 6.-7The takicg OF
evidence In the trial of the Standard
oil Company before Judge Lands was
commenced yesterday.
Previous to the Introduction of eyi.
dence, Attorney Miller for the defense
announced that the opening address
for the oil company would be reserved
until after the government had intro
duced its evidence,
The opening statement on behalf of
the government was made by Assist.

forth in the Indictment, claiming that
tha Standard OIL Company had accept.
ed rebates from railroads on ship.
ments of of from Whiting, Ind. to
East st. Louis, H., in direct violation
Of the law. He claimed that full mud
convincing proof would be offered, and
said that the government did not de.
sire conviction .inless 1t proved its
case beyond the possibility of doubt.
The taking Of evidence was then
commenced by District Attorney Sin,
who introduced certified copy OF the
articles of Incorporation of the stand:
ard OIL Company of Indiana, and read
1T to the jury.
The district attorney followed the
reading OF the articles of incorpora.
ton by that of several freight sched.
uies, showing that one of them tlfcd
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission January 8, 1900, made the
rate on oil between Chicago and Ger.
tain other common points to East st.
Louis IS cents per hundred pounds.
It is this rate which the government
claims that the oil company ana the
railroad disregarded by the giving
and accepting Of rebates.
The first witness was Homo. Tack

Louis Traffic Association in 1899. Mr..
fuckers residence now is in New

"There were four when 1t was pay.

that the B. and o. has not even as
