Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Wharton was in Lexington recently
making all inspection OF the buildings
and surroundings Of Tic town. Mir.
Wharton was here On a similar mis-
sion several months ago, and no was
surprised to find tie conditions so
much worse upon his second visit.
He stated to a representative of The
Dispatch that Lexington was about
the only town in the State that had
not taken the proper interest in the
matter of keeping all rubbish and
ira III, which are, in themselves, great
fire traps, cleaned up. 1.-The fire in
surance rates in the average towns in
South Carolina are entirely too high,"
said be, "and there is only one way to
got q reduction and that Is by remov-
ing the principal causes Of fire. he
concluded.
1t is to be regretted that the condi'
tions along this line in Lexington are
so very unsatisfactory. 1t is to be
hoped that our city fathers will make
an effort to have tho ordinance relat-
ing to keeping all trash and waste,
which are 40 liable to cause conha'
grafton, enforced to the letter. The
town should see to it that this impcr.
portant work is done, and we gro sat
isfled that our enterprising and ener-
getic mayor will make an effort to
have the conditions remedied without
undue delay.

A Few Words Of Praise.

If there are any people in the county
who deserve to bs praised it Is the
people residing between Lexington
and Columbia-those people who have
recently worked the Augusta road.
In nearly every section Of the county
and the same spirit is said to pre-
vail in many of the other counties in
Sonth Carolina--the people depend al
most wholly upon the supervisor and
county chaingang 20 keep up the
roads. And if the roads are not prop
erly kept up the supervisor is "cussed"
in thousand languages. Everybody
knows, or at least they ought to
know, that it is a physical impossi.
bility for the chaingang to work every
road in the county at one and the
same time; every .ody knows, or 1T
least they should know, that it Is i'm
possible for the chaingang to keep up
ono section OF road after 1t has once
put 1t in f1rstclass shape. Yet, In the
face Of these facts, there are those
who firmly believe that once the chain
gang has built road and clayed It
properly. there is nothing else to be
done. There is, however, at least one
section of the county that appreciates
the work of the chaingang. 1t Is the
section referred to above. The road
between here and Columbia Is now In
apple-pie order, and it has all been
done by the good people living along
tie route. If these people continue
to keep this road up to its present
high state OF excellency-and it goes
without saying that they will~-thay
will have q road that will be indeed |.
credit to the county. All praise to
these peopie who have set al exam

sections of the county,

ALEX BOWMAN HERE
Says They Are Gratified With Patron-
 age on New Trains

Alex Bonnyman, general manager of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail- road, was in Birmingham yesterday He was here to get in touch with conditions after the rush of the holidays. MT. Bon nyman said everything in freight traffic circles was very gratifying to the off cers of his company He said business was very good and that the only dis couraging feature was the indisposition of pig iron users to buy that commodity. MT. Bonnyman said he believed buying movement would start within the next few weeks and that a far better condi- ton would prevail.
 ''We are very proud of the results ob- taned by our new double daily passenger meeting with every encouragement, not only from the people away from Birming- ham but the citizens of this city We have a fine patronage on the trains in both directions and we are encouraged to believe that the trains will prove very valuable to our company. They were, of course, inaugurated after a tedious inves- tigation. We believe always in the people of this district and the section through which our line runs, and decided that they would patronize the trains.'
 MT Bonnyman held several short con ferences here yesterday with various of ticers of his company and the other in- terests of Harry M. Atkinson. He left yesterday afternoon for Atlanta.
