Ht is gratifying to note the success
with which the promoters of the South
Carolina Public Service corporation
are meeting in all sections Of the
State Wherever they have held
meetings the citizens have turned out
and given them a cordial welcome,
and assurances Of support in finan-
scial way. There are now several
corps of surveyors on the routes
lone on the main line from Column
bia 20 Charlotte; another on the line
from Saluda to Greenwood, Right Of
way agents are at work also. When
the surveys are made we hope to see
some tangible resultsthe roads

for this viii mean more to South Car
DINA possibly than any other one un-
dertaldng now before the people.

If there are any who think that a

let them read the report Of the recor-
der's court in Columbia for one morn

ieye there is as much drinking and
drunkenness without dispensary as
with one let them recall the condi-
tions ia Newberry two years ago and
see what they are now. None but
blind man can fail to see the very
great Improvement that has taken
place. Surely the people do not in

The past three weeks in Lexington
certainly was enough to convince any
one Of the vast difference. While,
perhaps, we did not have total prohi-
bition, business was better in various
branches and several merchants no
ticed very distinctly the difference
and now favor prohibition.

Referee Court.

Clerk Samuel B. George, as Referee,
was engaged yesterday taking testl-
mony in the case of Mary E. Wiggers
and others against Lemuel M. Fulme1
and others. This is case where Mr..
J. Fred Fulmer, purchased during his
life time, the J. Walter Dreher place,
on Hollow creek, and decided the
same to Lemuel M. Fulmer, claimed
not lawful heir, and to set aside the
said deed. Messrs. Graham, Nelson
& Nelson represent the plaintiff and
Judge Andrew Crawford and j. S.
Muller the defense. This is the second
reference and will no doubt take
several more days before the case is
closed before the Clerk.

The Dutch Fork. Of Lexington
county is one of the most prosperous
agricultural sections of South Caro-
lima, but people living there have to
pay tols to cross bridge to come to
Columbia to do business. That does
not speak well for Columbia's pro-
gressiiveness. Columbia Evening Rec
ord, 18th.
We agree with The Record in the
above. The Dispatch has long been
AN advocate of free bridges across the
sCongaree and Broad rivers. The peo-
pie OF the Dutch Fork are badly in
need OF a free bridge. Colnmbia's
progressiveness demands that she give
these people what they are so much
in need Of, and we trust that The
Records efforts will prove successful.

On our recent rounds over the
county we found evidences Of pros
perity on every side and the people
in better condition than in any previ-
,ous year. The farmers have put in q
large acreage of small grain, which is
now looking well, and they are deter
mined to bend every energy to make
this prosperous year. In some Sec
tions farm work is well under way
many farmers having taken advan-
taee Of the fine We sther in early jan
nary and turned their land under,
which will enable them to get in their
crops as early as desirable. The scar
city of labor is the greatest draw back
to their work.
The merchants, too, are in good
shape and have enjoyed a good early
spring trade, and we predict for them
still greater sales as the weeks and
months roll by.
But one thing we noticed, however,
that Lexington county needs better
roads, if she is to continue to prosper.
Every county in the state is looking
forward to the Improvement of her
highways and bridges, and if we are
to take no backward step, we must,
too, have good roads.
We bespeak for the merchant, the
farmer, the laborers of all classes, the
brightest and most prosperous year
il the history of our county.

MOBILE LUMBERMAN SENT TO A
 SANITARIUM.
Mental Condition of Man Who Did a Large Business Is Declared Fly Physicians To Re Un-
 sound.

Mobile. April 30.-(Sp eciaL )--George H. Steiner, a lumberman with large offices in the Bank of Mobile building. was this afternoon arrested by the chief of police and sent to police head quarters where he was examined by physicians with the result that he was sent to a sanitarium owing to his mental condition.
 Steiner has been arrested several times of late on charges of dangerous and suspicious and disorderly conduct and has been fined small amounts. These fines did not seem to stop the escapades of Steiner and as his actions in the building where he has offices became so rude toward young women and men, several letters were written the mayor with the result that Stein CT was arrested this afternoon.
 Several friends of Steiner asked that physicians be allowed to examine him before he was kept in prison as they thought he was suffering from slight mental disarrangement. This was done with the result that Steiner was sent to a sanitarium.
 Steiner while not a native of Mo bile, has been located here in the lumber business for some time and il is stated that he did an excellent bus mess

BRONCHIAL COUGHS
Breathe HyOmei's Healing Air and All

Irritation Will Be Quickly Cured.
 The most irritating ard annoying form of cough is that termed bronchial. People subject to bronchial troubles whenever there is a change in the weather or they are exposed to a draft will catch" a bronchial cough, which is very disa agreeable. irritating and an moving.
 Bronchial troubles canot be cured by stomach dosing. The medicated air reaches the affected parts and gives re- ease germs that are present in the nose throat and lungs. soothes and re- lieves the irritated mucous membrane in all parts of the bronchial tubes and quickly overcomes the irritation.
 Bronchitis is really an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the air passages and is purely local disease, so that 1t needs d local treatment like that afforded by Hyo mel.
 If there is any doubt in your mind as to the power of Hy-o-mei to cure bronchial troubles so that the system will resist coughs and colds the un- usual way in which it is sold by E. C.. Fowler should dispel that doubt. He agrees to refund the money to any purchaser of Hy-o-me who is not per fectly satisfied with the results follow ing the use of the remedy. He takes all the risk and if the remedy does not help you 1t does not cost penny. while if 1t cures, the expenses is nominal, for a complete Hy-omei outfit is sold at only S1.O0.
