LABOR TROUBLES At HOIsINGTON.
LabOrlng Men In the Shops Would Not
Stand For q Cut In Wages.

have been something doing in
Hoisington, among the laborinng
men in the shops al that point.
Some time last week a cut in
wages of from 16 cents per hour
to l2H cents. and we understand
an eight hour day. was made. and
about twenty five men affected by
the cut refused to stand for it
and quit. There was no strike,
but they inst quit. A bunch of
Greeks was sent in to take the
places of the men. They were in
duced to leave town. so we we're
informed. A second bunch came
in. and while so oe of those in
terested in the case we're on the
railway company's right Of way
on Monday, trainmaster Avery
is said to have pulled a gun in order
to induce those interfering with
the Greeks to leave to right Of way
as result of which Mr.. Avery
was arrested and arraigued before
Justice of the Peace Walker.
People from Hoislneton think
there may be some more trouble
before the case is wound up. 1t
seems that the company has offered
part of the men who quit Is cents
per hour. but would not take all
of them back at that rate.

We are glad to learn that Supervi-
sor Koon will soon move the chain
gang to the Orangeburg road, leading
out from Lexington to Edmunds, and
on out to CASTOR and Swansea. No
roads in the county needs the atten-
:tion Of the changing as do those run
ming through the sand hills, and it is
refreshing, atleast, to know that they
are so soon to have attention. That
these roads have been neglected to a
certain extent, no one will deny, and
the people have had Just right to
complain.
When these roads have been COM
pleted the gang will be sent to the
Edisto section. Theroads around Pc
lion and across to Steadman's are to
receive attention. This is as it should
be and we hope the movement will be
pushed forward until every road in
the county is put in respectable
condition.

In advance of the opening of the
county campaign we wish to make
the statement that The Dispatch will
not champion the cause of any one
candidate. At the same time our
columns are open to advertisers and
if any candidates desire to reach the
voters through our paper they are at
liberty to do so, provided they pay
the regular advertising rates. We
propose to give every candidate a
"square deal,'' regardless of past or
present affiliations. We are here to
serve the people, and this we propose
to do. When the campaign opens
proper it shall be our aim to give our
readers all campaign news as it ap-
pears to US. We will do this as best
we can, and without fear or favor.
The Dispatch is a legitimate news
paper and we reach the voters.

About a year ago the Editor of The
Dispatch chanced to visit the city
market in Columbia. Last week we
again visited the market for the pur'
pose of ascertaining how many of our
Lexington county farmers dispose OF
their fruits, vegetables, produce, etc.,
in Columbia. To our utter surprise
and amazement we found that fully
three-fourths of the vegetables and
produce thus furnished Columbians
are raised by Lexington county farm
ers. Nearly every wagon we saw
while at the market was from this
county.
This fact alone is ample proof that
the relations between Lexington and
Columbia shoelld be drawn closer to-
gether. We should work together
for the good of both, for what helps
one helps both. We were in hopes
that the people of this county would
soon be allowed to visit Columbia
without having, to pay bridge fare,
thereby enabling them to reap the
benefits of an ever growing and pros
porous city. But what has become
of the free bridge agitation, so strong
about year ago? The last time we
heard from the proposition the politi-
clans had charge of it, and we sup
pose the matter has gone where the
woodnine twineth. We would lie
sgladfor our Columbia contemporaries
to revive the subject so that we may
be able to see where we are at.

Wednesday, June 8, 1903.

Senator Efrd struck keynote
when he said in his speech before the
r. F. D. carriers on Saturday that
the only way to get good roads is to
tax the people to pay for them. He
emphasized this fact and it is need
less to say that every one present CO.
incided with the popular senator on
this important question. Mr.. Eird
said that the reason he had not advo-
Gated this plan in the Senate was be-
cause he thought the people were not
yet prepared to meet the tax. He
said, however, that it would not be
long until the present road law would
be repealed and every road the coun-
try over worked by taxation.
Good roads is the paramount ques7
tion just now, and one that interests
every taxpayer in the county. The
continuance of many of our rural
routes depends wholly upon the con-
dition of the roads over which the
carriers travel, It is an undisputed
fact that Lexington county is just as
able to furnish good public highways as
Richland, Aiken, Newberry, or any
other county in the State, and it is
little less than shame that they re-
ceive so little attention at the hands
OF our people. We believe that the
address of Senator Efrd will be the
means of awakening deeper interest
in the roads of Lexington county.

1t was generally regretted by all

excellent address he delivered.
