We are glad to state to our readers
that there seems to be no Ii likelihood
of Lexington losing any Of her terri
tory in the proposed new county OF
Edisto. From what we were able to
gather during our rounds last week
the proposition will be voted down y
an overwhelming vote. Much interest,
however, is being taken in the matter
by both sides. Our people will use
their better Judgment on Dec. 18th,
and the old county will remain intact.

pscial TO The Washington Herald.

SPECIAL 20 The Washington Herald.
Richmond. Va, Jan 1.-THE hearing Of
the proposition 20 repeal the statute for
bidding the paralleling Of the Richmond.
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad was
not concluded after a morning. afternoon.
and night session OF the State legislature.
II is probable that another entire day will
be consumed In the hearing.
The most noteworthy feature Of the day
was a substitute 10 both parallel bills now
before the house by Senator Lassiter. of
Petersburg, The substitute provides that
no railroad shall be allowed 10 parallel
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railroad prior 20 January !, 1913.
and that ii prior 10 that time the said
railroad shall have built such branch lines
as may be necessary in the opinion OF the
State corporation commission for the rea
sonable and proper service of the people
Of the State. and shall also surrender
prior 10 January l. 1902. its right 20 ex-
empton TO taxation. then no other rail
road chartered under this act shall have
any right 10 build parallel line. unless
the existing act is repealed by the general
assembly.
While the sentiment Of the people gen
orally is probably heartily In favor of the
repeal it is believed that after the hear
ing to-day the committee will recommend
some measure providing restrictions 10
the straight repeal.

on the episode, declared that he had too

There is a feeling i'm the party that
while President Seth had great proyoca-
ton, lie went too far in washing the
Democracy's soiled linen in public. Some
of the things he said are difficult Of
proof, and there is feeling that sym
paJhy for Warfield has been created
where it did not exist before
In No HumOr tO Apologize.
President Seth is standing by his guns
and is not in humor to make any
apologies. He declined TO talk this morn

Warfeid am opportunity TO say all he
wanted. Then, he said, if the occasion
demanded it, DE might rise to ques-
