tract.
70 the Editor of The Dispatch:
Please let me say a few words
through The Dispatch in reference to
the Lexington bridge matter 80 freely
spoken of last week. I am interested
in the matter, as my name is on the
contract and if there is anything wrong
with it I am as anxious to know as
any one else. Surely Mr.. Langford and
all concerned know the right to reject
any and all bids is reserved. OF course
there can be a bridge built for less
money than this contract is awarded
for, as something can be built for al
most any price.
There are some statements would
like to make, but as Mr.. Koon is the
proper one to speak first I will wait.
However, will say that if Mr.. Lang
ford, the present supervisor, will do his
best to have the bridge finished &C
cording to contract, Lexington county
will have something to be proud Of for
years to come. I can not, as an honest
man, afford to remain quiet and let the
impression 60 out that the board OF
which I was member was in any way
trying to defraud the county and 1

AS TO Mr.. Goodwin not signing the
contract, he was in favor of the mat
ter being put to vote of the county;
hut we had decided to build the bridge
before he became a member of the
board from the fact that the grand
Jury was pressing the question of run
ming several free ferries on the river
and looking into this matter we found
that in a few years the county would
have spent enough to build a bridge
and have nothing.

He is under surety bonds for $4,000,

course, hold them responsible for the
loss.
The facts in the matter are neither
the officials of the company. nor Mr..
Rogers himself know what is the
amount of the shortage. How much
Mr.. Rogers voluntary statement
means is yet to be determined. Mr..

the shortage is for any reasonable

One rumor placed the amount of
the shortage at not far from $4,000.
He admitted that this was only an
estimate but said he looked for it to
total up to some pretty big figures as
the result of Irregularities, extending
over long period of time.
No move has been made for any
prosecution and the officials talk of
Mr.. Rogers in kindly tone. The at
torneys for the road say that Mr.
Rogers is bonded and therefore the
company is not keenly interested, al

PAINFUL
TREATMENT
OF SCIATICA
Left Patient in Worse Condition
Than Before-When Blood Was
Restored Health Followed.

Ofthe many forms which rheumatism
takes, that which is popularity known as
sciatic rheumatism probably fortunes
its victim more than any other. That
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
this stubborn as well as painful trouble
is fact proved by the following state
ment, and no sufferer who reads this
can afford to let anything stand in the
way Of trying this treatment.
!, The cure Of Mr.. George II. Owen, Of
No. A Lincoln Street, South Framing
ham, Mass, is convincing proof OF the
superiority Of the tonic treatment with
Dr. Williams Pink Pills over the usual
medical treatments for sciatica. Mr..
Owen is an engineer with the DENIM
son Mfg. Co., where he has been en-
ployed for over SO years. OF his cure.
Mr.. Owen says:
Through overwork and bad cold,
which settled in my back, was attack.
ed by sciatica in my right leg several
years ago. I was bent over with pain
which was continually present. 1t
grew so much worse that the doctor re-
commended blistering plaster. Then
my leg was lanced and the pain relieved
by injections of morphine. After all
this treatment for the sciatica I was
left in rundown condition and my
doctor failed to build up my strength.
my blood wasin poor shape and had
no appetite I was restless at night.
There was constant, dull ache across
my back During my sickness I was
often confined to my bed and lost in
weight from 1853 pounds to lls pounds.
81 was in despair Of ever getting
better but fortunately DR.. Williams
Pink Pills were recommended to me by
some friends. The pills soon had my
blood in good condition but, took them
steadily until I was fully restored TO
health. I am very grateful for the
benefit Dr.. Williams Pink Pills gave
me and always recommend them"
If you are suffering from sciatica and
the treatment you are taking is not re-
lieying you, or if you are actually get.
