be. if every town in the county should
have it's ambition to become a Court
House town, gratifed? Court Houses,
iails, county officers, courts, Jurors
and the like COST money, and the
Court House town does not foot the
whole bill-the people pay the fiddler
the farmer, whose cotton stays tne
same old price, Court House or no
Court House, but whose taxes must
be propcrtionate to the expenses OF
his county. The people pay the taxes
remember that.
9Th. The removal Of the Court
House from Lexington would not ma
terially effect the town and would ef-
feet the ''wealth and prosperity of
the surrounding country not one hill of
snap beans. Again we say, Court
Houses don't make prosperity. 1t
takes brains, energy and the blessings
of God.
9Th. We point out, as a matter of
duty to the people who pay the bills,
that the machinery of county govern
ments cost money-money that peo-
pie pay-not the Court House towns.
They pay only their part of taxes.
7th. We do encourage every com
munity to develop it's resources, but
in our limited wisdom, we do not see
that's Court House, higher taxes,
more money out of the pockets of the
people, is a good means of developing
the resources of a community. 1t
rather seems a deterrent.
9Th. We confess that we are so
hind as not to be able to see that
"prosperity has followed in the wake
Of every new county" We do not
hear that farmers in Lee, Saluda,
Bamberg and Calhoun are getting
any more for their cotton or paying
any less for their bacon or fertilizers
than the farmers of Sumter, Orange
burg or Lexington. Has Rev. Mr..
Holley any information contrary to
our understanding?
Again we say, brains, energy, nat
ural resources-God's blessings-not
Court Houses, make prosperity and
happiness.

Swansea IN ews.

Swansea, Nov. 21.-Mr. W. H. F.
Rast, who has been in failing health
for several months, has gone to White
Sulphur Springs, Fla. with the hope OF
regaining his strength.
Mrs. Hayne Haigler, of Cameron,
visited her,sons. Messrs. j. L. and w.
B. Haigler, last week. Miss Sallle
Rast spent last week with her sister,
Mrs. w. H. Wannamaker, who lives
near here.
Mrs. Fred Rast, who has been very i'll
with appendicitis, has been carried to
the Columbia hospital for an operation.
Mrs. Rast is lovable woman and her
many friends here are anxiously await
ing the news of her Improvement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Livingston, accom-
panied by Mrs. Jno. H. Livingston,
left Friday for several months stay IN
Ocala, Fla. Mr.. Livingston expects to
return to Swansea in the early spring
and enter into business.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. Riley, of Silver
Street, arrived last week and will
make their home here. Mr.. Riley is
to 20 in business with his brothers-in-
law, the Messrs. Haigler.
Mr.. P. M. Oliver and Mrs. w. b.
Rast spent several days of last week
at the bedside Of their aged father,
Mr.. Thos. Oliver. in the Center Hill
section. Mr.. Oliver is "a gentlema an
of the old school," and his legion of
friends hope that he may be spared
for many years.
Miss Minnie Ellen Corbitt, of Sally,
is visiting her uncle, Mr.. G. H. Cor
bitt.
Mrs. P. E. Hutto has gone for a few
days visit to relatives in Leesvllle.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1908-11-25

We arrived at Batesburg about dark }
The recent rise in the price of cotton
has caused a great many farmers to
place their holdings on the market
and much of the feecy staple was be-
ing sold on Friday. The merchants
informed us that trade was not the
best, but they are buoyant over the
bright prospects for heavy Christ
mas trade. The collections were not
so good, only a few of the larger tax
payers paid their taxes, this always
being the case.
About sundown we drove for Lees
vile. "Prince," our faithful old
horse, seemed anxious to reach this
point, where he is always cared for at
the we'll known livery stables of Matth-
ews & Bouknight. AS is our custom,
we spent the night at Kinard's Hotel,
the haven of rest for the weary trav-
eller. After enjoying an excellent
nights rest and a delightful break
fast, we were at work. The taxpay-
ers turned out fairly we'll and the Ed
i5or was not entirely forgotten. The
merchants we're enjoying fair trade
and much cotton was being sold.
In the afternoon we were at Sum-
nit, the last appointment for the first
week.. A small crowd met US at Sum-
nit. We left our teams here and
boarded the o'clock train Saturday
night for home.
This week we begin at Gilbert on
Monday and end up at Irmo on Satur-
day at noon.
We wish to thank those who have
come forward and paid up their dues,
and entreat all those in arrears to
meet US this week, if possible.

On The Rounds.

On Monday, the 18th, we began our
annual trip with Treasurer Frank
w. Shealy, the first stop being made
at Edmund. Here we met fewer peo-
pie than usual, which is all evidence
that the county is still feeling the ef-
fects of the so-called money panic.
We drove from Edmunds across to
CASTOR, where but few taxpayers and
delinquents appeared. While it can
not be said that the town is growing,
it is holding it's own.
At Swansea we shared the abund-
ant hospitality of our genial friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. r. E. Mack. The treas
urer was kept busy all day and the
Editor received his share Of dues.
Swansea is one of the best business
points in the county and her mer-
chants are doing good business de-
spite the short crop year. The toWn
is growing.
We left Swansea for Mr.. J. J.
Mack's, where we enjoyed the hos
pitality of himself and family. Our
next stop was Pe1ion. We met fewer
people here than at any time within
our recollection.
Late in the evening we accompa-
MED Mr.. John McCartha to his COM
Portable home on Black creek, where
we are always made to feel at home
and where we always delight to stop.
After spending a very comfortable
night, we started early for Mr.. Jake
Williams at the Cross Roads. Few
persons met US at this place.
After dinner we pulled out for
Steadman's. This town has not
grown a great deal since our last visit,
but the merchants seem to be doing a
good business.
On time we reached Samaria and
met bus few taxpayers. Our genial
friend, Danny Boatwright, is doing a
live mercantile business.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1908-11-25
The Rev. Mr.. Holley.

Elsewhere we publish a series of
questions from the Rev. j. Q. Hol!ey,
a good man and citizen. We shall, in
our feeble way. answer them in the
order of their asking.
1st. To the farmers and people llv-
ing in the territory adjacent to Lex
ington Court House, there has come
only hatgeneral prosperity and prog
ress comm On to all the people of every
section of the county as compared to
the prosperity and progress of those
who lived hundred years ago: The
products of the farms near Lexington
bring no better prices than the prod
ucts of the farms ten miles away.
The cotton producer in the shadow of
the Court House gets no more for his
cotton, we are advised, than does a
like producer in the shadow of the
church steepIe of Irmo. Corn is no
lower in price here than at Irmo, or
Edmund, or Wagener or Perry. Pros
perity has come to all the people and
the Court House has had about as
much TO do with it as has the roar of
the Niagara Falls.
End. No, the forefathers made no
mistake III GuO 1OCoe4o1 VI ohS OSeAo
House, but they were too wise to
think that prosperity and progress
would follow the Court House and OF
necessity leave all other sections.
They thought Lexington geograph-
ically. the best place for the Court
House and placed it here. They were
not actuated by any motive of bring
ing wealth to the immediate inhabi-
tants of this village. They knew that
wealth did not come by reason Of the
piling up of mortar and brick and call
ing the pile a Court House. Their
good sense taught them that wealth
come as result of the application of
brain and energy to the resources of
nature. The same application OF
brain and energy at Irmo will bring
