Nothing has had more to do with
bringing about the present prosperity
Of the country than the building or
GOOD roads. That Lexington county
is forging to the front in this particu-
lar is most gratifying. Great progress
has been made on the roads Of This
county during the past twelve months.
When the chaingang completes the
Augusta road between Lexington and
Leesville the people will have a road
running across the county to the cap
ital of the State. This road will COM
pare m ,st favorably with any road in
the State and will be credit to the
county. But there are other good
roads in the county that are a pride
to the people. Within a few weeks
the changing will begin work on the
roads of lower Fork, continuing to
the Newberry county line. This will
give the people of that section a road
to be proud of, running across from
the Richland to the Newberry line.
This is as it should be. The supervl-
sor intends giving every section the
benefit of theIchaingang, but it is ply
ical impossibility to work all the roads
at the same time.

Pastor Corder Pounded.
TO the Editor of The Dispatch:

Please allow me space in your valu-
able paper to return our thanks to the
good Christian women of Pelion for a
most generous pounding. 1t is impos-
sible to enumerate. the articles.
Ihad walked down to Mrs. j. G.
Forts pond to fish for little while.
When I returned my little boy met
me smiling saying, "Papa, Old Santa
claus has come,' and when I walked
into the house and saw my wife smil-
ing and the dining table laden with 80
many good things, I thought Christ
mas had come and hard times had
gone. .1.
T think this is about the first time in
the history of Pelion that such a thing
has occurred. There were some who
did not know it at the time who have
come since. This company Of women
was composed of Baptists, Lutheran
and Methodists.
May the good Lord bless and pros
per them is my prayer.

A Fake Call.

The announcement published IN the
issue Of The Dispatch on Wednesday
to the effect that there would be
meeting of the citizens held at the
Brookland B INK on the 26th Of March
to consider the matter of annex1ng to
Richland county, was fake 80 tar as
itrefers to the place of meeting. The
Dispatch has received the following
from MIR. L. s. Trotti, the popular and
efficient president and cashier of the
Bank, which we take pleasure in Civ
ing publici J:
sTo the Editor of The Dispatch:
..Please allow Us to say through the
columns of your paper that the an
nouncement in your last issue that
there would be public meeting on
Saturday, the 26th of March, at the
Brookland Bank to consider the advis-
ability of annexing to Richland coun-
ty, was a great surprise to US and was
unauthorized.
"Upon inquiry, we learn that the
>citizen who had the announcement
published, explained by saying that he
thought that the bank was central
place, and that after the citizens met
they esald select suitable place.
"It is our pleasure to be courteous
at all times to everybody, but our Of
fee is entirely too small for a public
meeting, and, besides, other places
can be found which are more appro-.
priatesor meeting Of this kind.

"By L. s. Trotti, President"
It will be seen from the letter of
Mr.. Trotti that the people of Brook
land knew nothing Of the call before
it was published. This is conclusive
proof that the people of that growing
little city are contented and do not
care to be molested. Wise people,
they are, and we are proud to call
them Lex:ngtonians. As the same
call announced that a meeting would
be held at 1rmo for the same purpose
on Monday, the 2S,h. it IS presumed
that it was unauthorized also. It has
further developed that the author ef
the call is resident of the city of Co.
