The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1909-11-24

The best man in Lexington for the
general good Of the town is the one
you always see on the front seat in
the progressive band wagon. He Is
the first one to extend an open and
warm hand to greet the stranger and
welcome him in our midst. He will
resent an insult to our town as quickly
as he would a slur as member Of his
family. He very politely invites the
chronic croaker to move on. He is
ever ready to give his just proportion
to every public enterprise. He talks
up our town at homo and abroad and
believes it the best place upon Goo's
green earth in which to live and de-
sires to be buried here when he dies.
Let US all try to be like this man for
one year and Lexington will take on
new life and improve as never before
in its history.

1t is to be regretted that the major
ity favors no waterworks for Lex:ng-
tor, for there is nothing that is needed
more in our town than complete
water system-a system that will pre-
serve our property, enhance the value
Of real estate, reduce insurance prem
iums, and inyite people to come to
Lexington and invest their money
here. It is hard to explain why the
people who own property here voted
against the issue; it is harder still to
see why they lcok at the matter ss
heavy tax burden when, as matter
OF fact, the increase in the valuation
OF property and the decrease in insur
ance rates would have more than
made up for the small increase in tax
es. We believe that there were some
who voted against the issue because
of factional feeling, and others be-
cause of jealousy. These conditions
should not exist. There should be no
factions here. Every improvement
made enhances the value OF all prop
erty in and surrounding the town.
We should iye as one big family.
Where there is discord there is but
little progress. When there is unit
ed pull there is but little we cannot
accomplish. Envy, jealousy and ha-
tired pull us all down. Envy is
canker that gnaws at the heart and
makes one sour, disgruntled and un-
happy. Jealousy makes one unfair in
passing Judgment; hatred does not
pay even from a sordid point Of view.
Let rs all be friends and pull together
and show our neighbors what we can
accomplish in building up our town
by al earnest and harmonious effort.

Two Big Mortgages.

MIR. Frank W. Shealy, Clerk of the
Court, now has for record, two mortga-
ges given by the Seaboard Air Line
Railway. Oaeis refunding mortgage
for one hundred and twenty-five mil
lion dollars and the other is an adjust
ment mortgage for like amount.
These are two of the longest papers
ever recorded in the County. Each Of
them contains 14o pages Of closely
printed matter, and it will take his
able assistant, Mr.. n. P. Shipp. at
least two weeks to record them. This
perhaps, will delay the recording of
the papers sent in by the people Of the
county, but they will have the atten-
tion Of the Clerk just as soon as pos
sible, and will be marked recorded OF
the day they are received.

s'Lsxineson Makes a Record"

Under the above caption our much
admired contemporary, The Columbia
State, has the following to say anent
last weeks issue of The Dispatch:
1.-THE esteemed Lexington Dispatch
has no occasion to Srumole about the
ignorance or stupidity Of persons with
something to sell regarding the super
lative value of printer 9 ink as the NE
dunn for getting in touch with the
people who buy. And, as matter Ut
fact, The Dispatch is not grumbling.
Indeed, in the last issue it said moth
ing because the other believers in
printers ink did not give it space in
which to introduce edgeways. either
smile or frcwn. Evidently there is
widespread belief. extending to mer-
chants in surrounding counties, that
Lexinst >nians have money III their
pockets.
1--WE should not be surprised if the
issue of The Dispatch to which we
refer is not record-breaker, in
way. This eight pages contain 45 col
umns, and there are Az columns of
advertising. In such circumstances
it is not surprising that the editorial
department suspended for the week.
And vet those erstWhile editorial col
umns were not silent. They gave an
illustration of mercantile alertness,
and they also emphasized the belief OF
intelligent business men that there is
prosperity throughout the territory
covered by The Dispatch"
Indeed, there is prosperity in the
territory covered by The Dispatch,
and this territory is not confined alone
TO Lexington county. The Dispatch
has fair circulation in many Of the
surrounding counties, especially in
Richland. In the city of Columbia
The Dispatch has a circulation of
about 300. Our issue Of last week was
not record breaker by any means
just regular edition OF al up-to-date
weekly.

An Erroneous Statement.

In letter to the Hon. James Cos
grove of Charleston, relative to the
proposed new highway from Charles
ton to Columbia, Supervisor s. H.
Owens, of Richland county, took oc-
casion to pay his respects to Lexing-
ton county.
Says he: "If We fail to get Calhoun
COUNT to build road through the
Congaree swamp on their side. and
their part of the bridge. then the only
route is the old State road, with very
little prospect of Lexington county
doing much toward making it a good
highway"
This is an erroneous statement.
Lexington county will do her part in
fixing the proposed new highway. AT
the proper time the old State road
will be put in fine order, the state
ment of the Richlaud supervisor to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1909-11-24

The Dispatch would be the last pa
per on earth to knowingly say word
to hurt the feelings Of any Of its suh-
scribers or citizens, especially at a
time when the dark winged messen-
ger of death has brought sorrows to
the home, but from the best Of mo-
tives we desire to call the attention
Of our readers 20 the custom OF pub
llshing cards of thanks. 1t is GUS
tom that has outgrown it's purpose, If
it ever had one. When sickness aid
death comes to your home it is only
natural that your friends and Neigh
bors should do what they could to as
sist you. They would be little less
than heathens if they did not. They
know from the expression Of your
face that you are thankful and deeply
appreciate all they do and It is not
necessary to rush into print and tell
the world that your neighbors were
kind when you were in trouble. You
can express to your friends, by look
or word, your thankfulness in more
impressive manner than you can in q
column of cold type. However, The
Dispatch will continue TO publish ex-
pressions of thanks at the rate Of one
nalf cent word when requested to do
so and when the cash accompanies
the COPY.

Fields that were too poor to sprout
cowpeas twenty years ago now pro-
duce bals OF cotton to the acre and
from twenty-five to fifty bushels Of
corn. Twenty years ago there was
not single telephone line in the
county; today the whole county is
complete network Of telephone wires.
AS a consequence of these improve
ments, the country districts are BIOS
soming as the rose, and there has
never been so much contentment
among the people. AS rule, our
farmers have plenty OF money, and
with few exceptions, have met their
obligations to the merchants and
bankers, some of them, we are told,
paid accounts for number Of years
back. Next year might not be az
favorable as this and, in all probabil-
ity things are going to be higher, and
therefore, our people should exercise
the best Of Judgment and lookout for
the "rainy day." Anamber Of farm
ers are putting their idle money to
good use, buying real estate in Colum-
bia and other places.
Just at this Thanksgiving period we
are reminded that no people on the
face Of the globe has more to be
thankful for than the farmers of Lex
ington county.

We are informed by Mr.. J. Tally
Harth, Columbia's popular city cleo
trieian, who recently made a trip to
Atlanta in his handsome automobile,
that the road between Lexington and
Leesville, for distance of about FIVE
or six miles, is the worst piece Of road
on the whole trip from Columbia to
Atlanta. We are glad to state that
Supervisor Langford intends putting
this road in frstclass condition just as
socn as the gang completes its work
ip the sand hills.

Du ing the thirty years in which we
have been going over the county we
have never seen the people in a more
prosperous condition. This prosperity
is due to more than one reason. In
the first place, Of course, the high
price of cotton has had more to do
with the general prosperity than any
thing else, but Our people are oecom-
ins more progressive, more educated
along the lines of farming. No county
il the State has made greater pro-
eress in agriculture than Lexington.

It seems to US tha: an effort is being
-,oade to carry matters just little too
far in winding up the affairs Of the
county dispensaries. In most cases.

mitted liquor houses to overcharga

desirable and attractive. We all have
to live of the farmers and nothing
should be left undone that could be
done to make the farm inviting. The
farmers themselves are working to
this end. ALI over this county-and
in many of the other counties in the
state-are to be found farmers rural
telephone lines, and it is now possible
to transact business with almost the
same dispatch in the country as in the
city. The farmers are fast becoming
the most independent, the most pros
porous and the most to be envied peo-
pie on the face of the Garth.

better to work together.

farms in this county are developing
