The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1910-04-13

In another column will Ee found
lengthy communication in favor OF
annexation signed by "Citizen.' The
Dispatch was in hopes that it would
not be necessary for it to enter into
discussion of this matter further.
The contention of "Citizen" seems
to be that the people of Brookland
want free bridges; wewant them, too,
and The Dispatcn stands on record as
being in favor of this proposition. we
are agreed on this, and will further
agree to lend our assistance to any
feasible plan whereby the bridges may
become free. But We are disagreed
on the question of annexation, for we
fail to see where "Citizen" hopes to
get the bridges free at an earliest date
bv Joining Richland. We think-and
have so stated-that Lexington coun-
ty should pay her part toward freeing
the bridges, and we believe that the
majority Of the people think the same
way. Now. as to the best way to
bring about this condition Of affairs,
we are open for argument. But; as
we have suggested before, we tnlnk IL
right and proper for the Lexington
delegation and the delegation from
Richland to get together and agree
upon some basis of Lexington paying
her share and Richland hers.
While s'Citizen" may be correct IN
the statement that Rlchland's levy is
only 10A mills, he makes no compar'
ison of the property Values-the tax
returns-of the two counties. Take
the property lying the same distance
from Columbia in Richland county,
and compare it with the property the
same distance from the city, on this
side of the river, and 'Citizen" will
find that the taxes, in spite Of the diff
ference in the levy, are very much
higher in Richland than they are in
Lexington. This is an indiSputaole
fact. Again, the person ownlng a
home in BrooklanG-the wage Garner,
connot hope to be benefited by the
change. Why? Because his wages
will not be increased single penny,
while the valuation on his home is
bound to increase. Tnese are mat
tiers which our people should care
f lily consider.
''Citizen'' is unjustly kicking out of
harness because the legislature has
g zen fit to make special levy of one
h ,lf mill to build a steel bridge across |
the Saluda for the accommodation of |
the people of the Dutch Fork. He is |
unmindful of the fact that these same
people have always had to pay fer
Z age, unjustly, the very thing, only in
b idge toll, of which he complains,
b. sides, they have been paying 7a |
mills on railroad tax for fifteen
years. in order to bring taxes into the
Golfers of Lexington's treasury, thus
K :eping our friend taxes down. Now,
9 ,rely, he has no grounds for his con-
ntion along this line, and it is dol
I rs to doughnuts that these same
D ople would not now kick upon a
special levy for freeing the other
bridges. Why "Citizen's" kick?

Noney For Weak Schools.

| All trustees and others interested lr
the education of their children vii
bear in mind, and not forget, that the
last legislature passed an Act appro'
priating $4,000 for weak schools Of
the State. Lexington County is enti-
! tied to her share of this money and ii
will be the duty of the trustees and
the SUP perintendent to get it. But in
order for any school district to be
able to get any of this money the dis
| trict will first have to vote at least
mills levy.
Blank petitions for this purpose can
be obtained at my office. There are
| also other conditions and regulations
which will have to be complied with.
The regulations to which I refer are as
follows:
l. Regular school funds are poll
tax, three-mill tax, dispensary profits,
and dog tax.
2. No district having sufficient reg
ular school funds to run the schools CT
the district 100 days shall receive aid
under this Act.
8. No aid shall be given any dis
trict until all the regular school funds
have been expended, either by con-
tract or by actual outlay.
4. No district shall receive more
than S1o0 from the State, nor more
than the amount raised by special
tax.
5. No district shall receive aid from
the State unless each teacher, en-
ployed in the district, holds ce-tif-
cate which has been registered in the
Office of the county superintendent of
education.
s. Every application shall be sign
ed by the chairman, CT the clerk of
the board of trustees, and by the
county superintendent Of education,
and shall be accompanied by certf-
cate from the county auditor, showing
the amount of special tax levied on
the property Of the district.
z. The State superintendent Of ed
ucation shall forward the amount ap-
propriated to any districc to the coun-
ty treasurer to be placed TO the credit
of the district.
8. No application shall be honored
unless it reaches the Office Of the
State superintendent Of education, Oh
or before November Is.
Q. All money secured under this
Act, during any scholastic year, shall
lie expended prior to the beginning Of
the new school year, July 1st, and
shall be paid out only on the warrant
of the trustees, approved by the coun-
ty superintendent Of education.
10. The State superintendent Of
education may refuse any application
which, in his judgment, would not in
crease the efficiency of the free pub
lie schools: PROVIDED, That such re-
fusal be subject to the review and ap-
proval of the State board of educa-
ton. A. D. Martin,
Co. Supt. Education.

At a meeting of the State Demo
cratic Executive committee, held in
Columbia last week, General Willie
Jones was unanimously reelected
State chairman. Gen. Jones has held
this position for number of years,
always managing the politics of the
State with an eye single TO the best
interest of the party, and his unani-
nous reelection is but another index
to his wide popularity, both as dem
ocrat and as private citizen. The
honor could not have been more
worthily bestowed.

The Princess of Monoco has the
unique distinction of being the first
lady of American birth to attain the
rank of a sovereign princess. OF Jew
sh-German extraction, she Is extremely
wealthy. her own private fortune being
much larger than the subsidy paid to
her husband by the Monte Carlo Com
pany. When her extraction and maiden
name, Alice Heine, are considered. 1t is
not at all surprising that she is pas
~sionately devoted to music. and her
concerts at the palace at Monaco are
events in themselves. The princess is
also a remarkable linguist, speaking
with facility nearly every European
language.
