WEAR THE SUIT,
ELkS COMMAND
FRATERNITY MEMBERS FAVOR
WHITE AND PURPLE
OFFICERS URGE THAT CoLORs
SHOW AT ONCE
Decorations Now Perfectly Arranged
and Illumination Project Rapidly
Nears Point Where All
Lamps Can Blaze

That spirit of personal pride should
be incentive enough for every member
of lodge No. SO of the best people on
earth" to wear the official regulation
suit of white and purple during the
Elks' convention was the statement Of
a number of persons who have the wei
fare of the big reunion at heart.
1t is said that every Elk of Los An
geles should take a very great interest
in the coming reunion and that the best
manner of impressing the visitors from
other places in the country would be
to wear the white and purple. 1t is
urged that strangers will thus have an
opportunity of knowing to whom they
should apply for information.
The officers of No. 80 have stated that
the appeal to all members to wear the
official suit has not met with the proper
response. In the next few days a gen.
eral appeal will be issued to every Los
Angeles Elk to get in line and report at
headquarters that he has the regula-
tiOn attire.
These are busy days." said Secretary
Conway yesterday, but we have all
arrangements well in hand. and when
the big event opens we will give the
visitors an idea of the Los Angeles way
of doing things. The decorations are
perfectly arranged, the illumination
project has reached a point where we
can complete it in a few hours. The
citizens of Los Angeles have responded
nobly 10 the call for assistance, and
every dollar added to the entertainment
fund is bound to reap two fold"
The Hotel Alexandria Will soon be the
scene of operations for the contest that
is being waged for the office of grand
exalted ruler. Both Garry Hermann
and ]. y. Samis have strong supporters.
The Elks of Arizona intend to be we'll
represented at the reunion and have
engaged quarters at the Hollenbeck.
The delegates have forwarded word
that they intend to boost their state TO
the limit and will give the visitors an
idea of how affairs are carried on in
Arizona and prove that it is not "the
land that God forgot"
An innovation as courtesy to Vis-
iting Elks has been established by
Dick Ferris and H. D. Ryus in fitting
their offices as headquarters for mem
bers of the ElSs' lodges at Minneapo-
lis, MINI, Hot Springs, Ark, and
Kingman, Kas., during their stay here.
Extra chairs and desks and special
stationery will be provided and ste
nogra pher will be available, so that
the members of the three lodges who
attend the reunion and convention will
have a place to write letters and trans
act any business they desire. Messrs.
Ferris and Ryus have assured the Wis
itors who are coming from Minneapo-
lis, Hot Springs and Kingman that
anything needful they may suggest

FUNERAL SQUAD
VETERANS QUIT
--
FIVE MEMBERS OF SOLDIERS
HOME DEPART
BLAcKING OF BOOTS SAID TO
CAUSE DIscoNTENT
Statement Made That System of U.s.
ury Has Been in Vogue in Cow
eminent Institution at
SawteIle

Five members of the so-called fu-
neral squad left the Soldiers home at
Sawtelle yesterday afternoon. That
they departed because they might have
to bury comrades who had succumbed
to the food that is said to have been
recently served at Sawtelle is denied.
The real reason for their leaving is
declared to be that Governor coch-
rane Insisted each member should take
a turn at blacking his boots.
The veterans considered that acting
on the funeral squad was sufficient
duty and rather than submit to the
order of backing the governors boots
they decided TO leave. One of the vet
erans, who was in the party when the
above explanation was made, said no
allusion was intended to the biblical
quotation in saying that they took
up their beds and walked" because it
would have been parody on words
and a iguratiVe statement to class
their might rests as beds.
May Live on Pensions
The five were only a small number
of those who have decided that the
home is not what it should be, and
that they can live as comfortably on
their pensions elsewhere.
That system of usury has been in
vogue at the home was one of the
statements made yesterday Accord
ing to the story it has been custom
ary to loan money for a consideration.
The usual rate of interest is said to
be % per cent for three months.
The veterans muster for pensions on
the 4th of March, June, September and
December, and sign the pay roll two
days later. The pensions are due on
or about the 10th of these months. 1t
is said that from five to ten deaths
have occurred in the interim between
the signing for pension and pay day.
and what the veterans want to know
is what becomes of this money, as
they believe it must have been on its
way from Washington.

COURT HOUSE CASE
 MAY BE APPEALED
Fordyce Wins Point in Dallas County Seat Fight. but Princeton Will Prob ably Go Higher.

Fordyce, Dee. 1.-Another chapter in the Dallas county court house con test was completed to day when Judge Wells of the circuit court held that the county court had no right to order the records back to Princeton, as had been done at the July term of that court. The fight over the county seat has been a long one and the end is not yet in sight It began in June, 1908, when a petition was filed in the county court asking that an election be ordered to decide whether or not the court house should be re- moved from Princeton.
 The election was held ill July of the same year and the court decided ity of the votes. but that the election decided that the records should be removed from Princeton. A new election was ordered and Fordyce and Carthage were candidates for the honors Fordyce won by about 400 votes. The returns were passed on by the county court and the records were accordingly moved to Fordyce.
 In July, 1909. the people of Prince ton filed a petition in the county court asking that the judgment of the court and the two elections be set aside and the records be moved back 10 Princeton. The order was made by the court but an appeal was taken to the circuit court and was heard yesterday and today. It is expect ed that Princeton people will appeal to the supreme court

When an incident like the follow ing occurs here at home, it is bound to carry weight with our readers. So many strange occurrences go the rounds of the press; are published as facts, people become skeptical. On one subject skepticism is rapidly dis appearing. This is due to the actual experience of our citizens, and their public utterances regarding them. The doubter must doubt no more 'n the face of such evidence as this. The public statement of a reputable citi- zen living right at home, one whom you can see every day, leaves no ground for the skeptic to stand on.

Court Proceedings.

When we went to press last week
the case Of the State against Noah
and Gideon Burkett, two young ne
groes from the lower part of the coun-
ty charged with assault and battery,
was in progress. The jury returned
verdict of guilty, and they were SEN
fenced to three months on the gang
or to pay a fine of $40. The fine was
paid.
Kahn Adams, negro, was convict
ed Ct highway robbery and was SEN
fenced to serve two years on the
gang.
B. F. Rushton, who was convicted
of forgery in his absence, was SEN
fenced to serve eight months on the
chaingang or to pay a fine OF $50.
Rushton is young white man from
Sa]uda county and it was alleged that
he secured nj oney from the Citizens
Bank of 3atesburg by forgery. -,
Allen Gillian, white man from Sa-
luda county, pleaded guilty to the
charge of forgery and was sentenced
to serve period of - months on the
gang and to pay fine Of $25:
w. w. Harris, negro preacher and
school teacher from the Dutch Fork.
n as trie0 for assault and battery with
intent to kill, it having been alleged
that be shot another negro at scnool
closing some time during 1907. BE
was convicted and sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 or serve six months on
the gang.
On Thursday at noon the case of
the State against Thomas Craft, the
young white man charged with the
murder of Garfield Hutto at the home
of Mildred Brown in the sand hills on
the night of December 26, last year,
was begun. There were many wit
nessesOn both sides and the trial con-
sumed all Of last week and Monday of
this week. The case was hotly con-
tested, Solicitor Zimmerman being
assisted in the prosecution by ex-Sen-
ator Sharpe, while Messrs. Graham &
Sturkie appeared for the defendant.
The case was given to the jury on
Monday evening at 6:55 and at $40 a
verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree with recommendation to mercy
was rendered, which means that
Tom Craft will spend the remainder
of his life in the penitentiary unless
the supreme court sets aside the ver-
dict of the twelve men who passed
upon the case.

Preseutment Of the Grand Jury.
To the Hon: Charles G. Dantzle'

TO the Hon. Charles G. Dantzler,
Presiding Judge:
We, the grand jury of Lexington
county for the year 1909, submit the
following report of Our work during
this, the February term of court:
We have passed upon all bills of in
ent term, and returned taem to the
court with our findings endorsed
thereon.
A committee of our body has made
an examination of the court house
and Jail, and find both in good condi-
ton and neatly kept.
Six members Of our body appointed
as committee by our foreman visit
ed the county poor house and farm.
This committee reports verbally that
it finds the tenements occupied by
colored paupers badly kept, there be-
ing considerable stencil and filth in
and about said building. All other
buildings of this institution are rea-
sonably we'll kept, and the inmates,
three white and five colored, very well
fed, clothed and cared for by the OFF,
cials.
The roof of the stewards house is
badly i'll need of repairs, also the steps
to sume of the buildings and fencing
around the institution should receive
attention. Werecommend that these
matters be called to the attention or
the county supervis ,r at once.
This body has appointed our fore
man, A. L. Hook, and Charles j.
Huffman and Isaiah Hallman, as 4
special committee to examine all the
various Offices, together with the
bond of the officidbs and to report
upon the same, and ask that they be
allowed to employ an expert To assist
them in the discharge Of this duty,
said expert to receive the customary
fee for his services.
We note the article that appears in
The State this morning under the
heading, "Bridge Contract Under
Suspicion" This article refers to the
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1909-02-10

matter of the building of steel bridge
across Saluda river in our county and
the execution of the contract for the
same made some weeks ago.
This article is misleading in some
respects, as this grand jury did not
notify Mr.. Harrison that his presence
was desired. Nor was any one else
notified to appear before US in regard
to this matter. Three gentlemen vol
unfairly, as far az we know, asked
leave to appear before us yesterday
and discussed in our presence several
matters in reference to the contract
for the building of the bridge referred
to.
After hearing these gentlemen our
jury took no action in regard to the
matter.
This Jury will undertake to perform
its full duty in the premises, when
ever in it's judgment sufficient infor-
nation is secured upon which to predi-
cate action.
We thank yod. Honor and the va
rious officers Of the court for the val
liable instruction and assistance given
us in the discharge of our duties at the
present term of the court.

Fork Township Asks Admit.
tauce.

The agitation in Fork township, Lex
ington county, for that township to be
annexed to Richland county has taken
very tangible form in that a petition
asking the governor to order an elec-
ton on this subject has been presented
to Gov. Ansel.
The petition was presented BY COM
mittee from Fork township consisting
of Messrs. J. S. Huffman, chairman; T.
B. Huffman and R. B. Barr. These
gentleman, together with many 9TH
ers, have been hard at work in the mat
ter and are very enthusiastic abont
the annexion. They announce that
out OF 100 qualified voters few will
oppose the annexation. The election
will probably be ordered as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be
made.
Fork township includes school dis
tricts Nos. A and As the territory ad-
joining Columbia township. The citi-
zens of the township. in advocating the
annexation, say that among the excel
lent reasons they have for such a de-
sire are, the change will give better
school facilities, taxes will be lower
and that it is decidedly nearer to the
Richland court house than to Lexing-
ton. These citizens as unit trade in
Columbia anG many furnish Columbia
citizens with large amount ofgarden
truck.
One of the strongest arguments ad-
vanced by the petitioners is the diff
ference in the distancce The maximum
distance from Fork township to Lex
ngton court house is about u miles
and to Columbia it is about miles.
1t is necessary to pass through Co.
Iumbia to reach Lexington by rail
from The Fork township.
Great interest is aroused not only in
Fork township but elsewhere since the
aggitation commenced. The outcome Of
the election is awaited eagerly and in
Fork township the situation is tense.
