Lexington Dispatch, Jan. 2oth.
The police say that since the
saloons absquatulated from Sails
bury there hasn't been a drunk
arrested here and that the change
is very marked.
| A fox chase Monday afternoon
ended unlucky for Patrick Ny
ers, of the livery firm of Hege &
Myers Rounding a corner his
horse fell, and Mr.. Myers suffered
q broken leg. The fox was owned
by Lewis Patterson, and a num-
Der of horsemen with dogs gather
ed to chase it when turned loose.
Reynard didn't put up very good
run and was soon caught. After
ward the carcass was dragged
through town and the folks got a
chance to see tho hounds in &C.
tion. Is was during this time
that Mr.. Myers met with the &C.
cident.
The Dakotah cotton mill has
been located on the Humphreys
place below town. Twelve and a
half acres were purchased from
Mr.. Humphreys for s4,950, and
between six and eight acres adjoin-
ing from Dermont Shemwell, the
price being 5000 all acre, Mr..
Humphreys reserves his dwelling
and several cottages, which will
be moved to nearby lots, and
these he VIII place on the market.
The mill has purchased machinery
and preparations for building in
the spring are going on STEADILY
The site is very suitable for mill

astar at Lick Branch coal mines,

minds US that many Davids on

possible that some Of them were
in this accident. However, we

There is a rumor that a near.
beer saloon will be set up in Lex

IN the way, however, not only
here but in all North Carolina,
for if what is said is true, the
federal government will demand
license for the sale Of any drink
containing over one,half of one
per cent. alcohol, and the moment
a man takes out federal license
to retail, along comes North Caro-
lima and says the holder thereof is
guilty of retailing booze, where.
fore selling even near-beer is a
rrecarious occupation. Still, the
stuff is being sold in Greensboro
and other towns, and the makers
claim there is something like two
per cent. of alcohol in it.
If any lingering doubt as to the
madness of the mad dog which
came here the 3rd existed up to
Saturday, it must have been dis
PEELED by the fact that a dog be-
longing to Tom Goss on that day

ment in reply to the statements
made in to-day's newspapers that
President-elect Taft had had him
In mind in his speech delivered
yesterday at Augusta, Ca, in
which Mr.. Taft was reported as
having spoken of him as lacking
IN sympathy for the education of
the negro race.
Mr.. Tillman attributed Mr..
Taft's criticism to "misstate-
ments and malicious editorials in
some of the South Carolina news
papers" in which, he said, his at
titude had not been clearly stated.
"In the first place." he said, II
am not opposed to negro educa-
tion at all, provided it is of y. -
right kind, knowing that educa-
tion increases intelligence an in
diligence increases the usefulness
of the citizen. What I said and
ment and by which stick is this:
That the Republican policy of the
last 40 years has been to compel
the South to recognize the politi-
cal equality of the negro. That
In it's essence would mean the
domination of the negro in South
Carolina and Mississippi and
many parts of other Southern
States.
''We have disfranchised every
negro we could under the fifteenth
amendment and the only instru-
mentality available was to require
an educational qualification,
There is now an agitation in South
Carolina for compulsory educa-
tion. That would mean a heavy
burden to provide more schools
which the white Taxpayers would
have to bear and there could be no
discrimination against the negro
on account of race or color.

ACy.
| ''Hence we would present the
spectacle of educating the negro
at very heavy expense to hurry
forward the contest for supremacy
between the two races as soon as
we should have given them the
necessary qualifications, to vote,
and be undoing what we found sb-
solutely necessary to preserve our
civilization.
"We never intend to be governed
by negroes, whether educated or
uneducated. The Republic, par
ty is now seeking to deba, a the

the Republicans will throw down
and abandon once for all their
efforts to compel the South to
recognize the equality of the Cau-
caslan and African by repeating
the fifteenth amendment, we can
then have the control of our State
affairs and can then train them to
make better citizens and aid in
the 'uplift' which Mr.. Taft is 80
anxious to see brought about. But
we never expect to lift them
higher enough ourselves or allow
ianybody else to lift them high
