for other advancement in keeping

This agitation, unrest or what you
may cali it, is no new thing in these

Fine Clothing store.

On our trip to Columbia last week it
was our pleasure to visit the opening
of the new clothing firm of Scruggs &
Swan. To say that the display on
this occasion surpassed any thing we
have ever seen is expressing it mildly.
The clerks, all dressed in conventional
black, were courteous and attentive
to the visitors, and made every one
feel that they were welcome. From
four until nine, sweet strains of music
pervaded the atmosphere, to the pleas
ure and delight of the large number of
guests. This firm has begun well and
if good values, coupled with courteous
attention and prompt service, count
for anything, the success of Scruggs
& Swami is already assured.

We have no apologies to make for
publishing the lengthy article from
"Anti-Annexationist" this week. It
is one of the strongest papers we have
ever published and covers the situa-
ton as it is. "Anti-Annexationist"
is resident of the Fork and lives in
the district proposed to be cut off,
He is a man that knows from actual
experience what he is talking about.
He is not bundle of "hot air." We
commend the article to those who are
thinking of leaving Lexington, be-
lieving that it will not only prove in
teresting reading but that it will
cause them to think before it is too
late.

That Bridge Middle Again.

The Dispatch is in receipt of the
following letter from the Southern
Highway Bridge Company, Of Green
wood:
aOur attention has been called to
an editorial in your paper of the 10th
mss, in which you think the Screen
wood concern should explain their
connection with the so-called bridge
letting in Lexington county last fall.
We are little surprised at the edito-
rial, especially\as we did not make, 8
bid on the bridge at the so-called let
ting and knew nothing whatever Of
the County having bridge to let,
though we had mailed several prepaid
postals to your Supervisor asking for
information about lettings and to be
allowed to bid on the bridges to be
let. The first we knew of this matter
was when we saw in the Trade Jour
nails where your county had let a
bridge, giving the price and the con-
tractor The next We heard was ia
January when we heard rumors OF
graft at the letting. Later we were
asked to make q proposition for the
building of this bridge, this we did to
Mr.. w. G. Harrison about Feb. 1st,
1909. This proposition to which was
attached a certified check for 81 900
was the first and only proposition ever
made by this concern for bridge in
Lexington County. When we made
this proposition we did SO in good
faith thinking thatwe could save your
county some money and at the same
time make legitimate profit for our
selves.
s'In view of the above We would
ask that you kindly have our state
ment looked into and after you have
satisfied yourself of the correctness
thereof, that you kindly make correc-
ton of the implied charge made in
your editorial, that we were in the
FIRST so-calied letting and tried to film
fam your county of several thousand
dollars. =: :
s'This we think is likely to cause Us
serious damage, and would ask that
you kindly correct, especially as it
accuses US Of belonging to the Bridge
Pool, and to be classed with the
grafters would be doing US serious
injustice"
We take pleasure in Publishing the
above statement. It must be remem-
bered, however, that The Dispatch
made no charge against the "Green-
wood Concern" We simply stated
what had been told US, and not as a
fact. We are anxious to have the
lightturned on, and thank the "Green-
wood Concern'' for its statement.
We have no desire to do any one an
injustice. We propose to be abso.
,lutely fair. The Southern Highway
Bridge Company has the reputation
of being reputable concern SO far as
our knowledge goes, and We accept
their statement as being true unit
the contrary has been proven.

test took place in Assembly hall before

Normal Appropriation
Has Been Exhausted
Normal Students Must Pay
Their Own Tuition Part
OF Present Term.

State Superintendent OF Public In
struction Schaeffer has informed the
authorities Of the thirteen state normal
schools Of Pennsylvania that the allow
ance for the state aid is exhausted and
that the students will be obliged to pay
their own tuition for part Of the pres
ent term and for all OF the coming
spring term. The reason given for the
deficiency is the increased attendance
Of students, there being large numbers
In attendance from other states. A few
years ago the state gave fifty cents a
week to each student over seventeen
years Of age who would agree to teach
In the public schools for at least two
years after graduation. Lately this
laid" was increased to $l.50 week,
being the entire cost OF tuition in the
normal schools, board being charged at
about $500 and $3.50 week. Had the
'aid" been left at 80 cents q week this
trouble would likely not have occurred.

New Superintendent
At Local Silk Mill
Claude Reiff Has Returned To
York and P. F. Bo1ger Is
Now In Charge.

After ten days. stay as acting
superintendent Of the Reynoldsville
plant OF the American Silk Co., Claude
Rieff, of York, returned to that city
and has been succeeded by P. F. Boil
ger, Of Reynodsville. Mr.. Bolger is
now looking after the local plant and
keeping in repair the equipment con-
nected with 1t.
AS yet there is no news of a reliable
character concerning the resumption
OF work in this mill. The York mills
Of the same company are running, as
we'll as many silk mills at other points
owned by different companys, which
would indicate that the demand for
manufactured goods is on the increase.
This being the case an order for put
ting the local plant In operation may
come at any time. No one who has
gone through the Reynoldsyille mill
recently and noted the improvements
which were made since its last oper-
alton, and estimated the amount OF
capital invested there now unproduc-
tive, can doubt for moment that the
American Silk Co. will get it into
operation and earning money for them
again just as quickly as there is any
thing like a normal demand for their
product over the country.
The Reynoldsville mill is one OF the
best equipped and can be operated as
cheaply as any silk factory in the coun-
try, two factors which guarantee that
once new working force is gathered
to operate it, 1t is likely to be kept
In operation at full capss y for many
years to come.

Sailor Boy Home
From World Cruise
Jacob Brown Went Around
The World with Sperry's
Great Fleet.

The first of the gallant sailors
who accompanied Rear-Admiral
Sperry on the tour around the
world to return to their homes
in this section are Jacob Mason,
who is now at the home of his
brother. Harvey Mason. at Sher-
wood, and Thomas Hanson, of
Brookville.
Mason, hale and bronzed,
wearing the loose blue uniform
of a U. S. N. sailor, dropped from
the passenger train in Reynolds
vile Tuesday morning direct
from his ship, the Kansas"
which had sailed from Newport
News to Philadelphia immediate
ly after the great demonstration
on their return to American wa
ters February 22nd. After his
furlough expires he will return
to the kansas" to serve the
remaining year of his enlistment
period. This he believes will be
spent cruising up and down. the
Atlantic coast.
Mason states that he and his
mates had glorious trip with
the armada and added signifi-
cantly that the general impress
sion on board the ships was that
at no distant date they would
cruise to the Orient again, and
with decks cleared for action, at
that.
