BACK AT THE DISPATCH.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

10 the Editor OF The DiSpatch:
f. I see that you severely criticise the
| the resolutions passed at the indigna-
tion meeting held at Chaplin on the
25th Of March, IN regard to the super
|, visor Of Lexington county.
/ Now, I would like to know if the
I taxpayers of the Dutch Fork haven't
a rightsto demand their just part Of
the work done by the chaingang of
the COUNTY,? Do not she taxpayers Of
the Dutch Fork pay their proratta
share to support the chaingang? I
think the editor will admit that we
do. Then if we have to pay our pro-
rata share to support the chaingang,
have we not q right to demand our
proratta part of the work done by the
chaingaug? I think that the editor
will admit that we have. Then, I
would ask the editor Of The Dispatch
how much time has Supervisor Lang
ford put OIL the roads Of the Fork dur
ing his present term of office? I
would ask the editor if be knows how
many times during she last two years
he has published il. che columns OF
The Dispatch tha. the ca asingans was
going to the Fork in short time t.
work the roadsof the Fork? And bow
many times have the promises been
kept? Then after having beard this
promise made so oSton and not kspt,
how can the editor thHaIk that We can
have any confidence in his statement
that the supervisor is coming to the
Fork in a few weeks2 As to other
sections Of the county Being dissatis
fed, can the editor be surppisede Is
it not a fact that the supervisor has
put nearly all the work of the chain
gang for the past two years Oh one
road? And isn't it a facs that the su-
pervisor moved the gang back ON the
same road a few weeks ago because
the road got so chat the automobiles
nd not run as they wanted to?
Now, does the editor Of The Dispatch
think that it is right for the taxpayers
Of Lexington county to keep up the
chaingang to work Ole or two roads
for the town and city people to ride
over, when at least vs. per cent OF the
taxpayers of the cou:ity have never
rode in an automobile, much less
owned oae? L. 3. Frick.

Death of Geo. .. skayeso

The announcement Of the desesss { !
Mr.. George D. Hayes, which occurred
at his home five miles norLh OF Liking
ton on the Augusta road at 10 o'c!c:i
Wednesday morning, caused supreme
sorrow throughout the entire com'"u-
nifty.
Mr.. Hayes had been in failing health
for several mon tbs, and had been con-
fined to his bed for FIVE weeks previ-
GUS to- his death. : "
He was about 56 years of age and is
survived by his widow, who was Miss
Olivia Drafts. daughter Of Henry E.
Drafts, and 10 children, seven boys
and three girls, among them being
George, Jr., a very bright boy, who
arrived from Cedar Springs,' where he
has been attending school,, just in time
to see his father before the end can e!
He is also survived by two brothers,
Jno. z. Hayes, of Columbia, and B. l..
Hayes, of this county, and four Sis
ters: Mrs. J. A: Hughes of Howe,
Texas; Mrs..W. II. Evans Of Macon,
Ca. Mrs. T. F. Griffith Of Columbia,
and Mrs. Perry Hall OF Steedman.
His mother, Mrs: louisa NJ. Hayes. is
also living. His>older brother, Pope
P. Hayes; died only q few: months
ago
A more generous, big-hearted and
kirdlierman than Geo. D. Hayes neV-
ec lived. He took the census for his
district last year, and it was while
performing these duties that his health
began to fail.
His remains were laid to rest in the
churcbyard at ST. Peters Oh Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in the presence
of one of the largest congregations
ever assembled at this church to pay
a silent tribute to the departed dead.

oh. Those Resolutions

OH, Those Resolutions
In another column Mr.. L. B. HFrlck
takes The Dispatch ito task because
we saw fit last week to make a few
comments on the resolutions adopted
at the indignation meeting heio ao
Chapin on March 25. In the first
place. we admit that the Fork has
right to itssshare Of the chaingang's
work. We have always admitted that.
But our contention is now, and mas
always been, that it is physical I'M
possibility Tor the supervisor to place
the chaingang on all of the roads or
the county at the same time. For IN
stance, the chaingang cannot work on
the roads of the Dutch Folk and at
the same time work on the roads IN
Sandy Run. We do not attempt TO
say-sor lack of knowledge-jus5 how
much time has been spent by the
ehaingang on the roads of the FORK
during the present term of the super:
visor. Again, we would not attempt
to say how many times we have her.
aided the news that the chalngang
was soon to move into the Fork. We
are too busy with other duties to
search our files today; but we only
gave it out as it was given to Us. But
we do know tfsas 1t Is the Supervisors
intention to move the gang to the Fork
at the earliest possible date. He is
working now on this end Of the pro-
posed Observation-Disclosures -Newberry-
Greenville Highway, which goes di-
rect through the FORK, by Chaplin on
to Newberry. 1t cost a lot OF money
to move the ekaingang from one part
of the county to the. other and it
would, be fSo3ishnsss to move the
ehaingang It IA one end of the road
to the OF,
No. n lick, 1t is not fact, slr,
thatthc ,eryisor has ''put nearly all
the NO I the ehaingang for the past
two years on one road" He has
spens :eVeral months or the roads
aror,:;5 CASTOR and Swansea, and on
the road leading through the famous
Hoggabaa swamp which, we are told,
is now almost impossible.
Lastly, Mr.. Frick, you are mistaken
when you declare that the taxpayers
Of the county are keeping up the
ehaingang to work one or two reads
for the town and city people to ride
over in automobiles. We venture the
assertion that 95 buggies and wagons
90 over the Augusta road to one auto.
mobile. Why, sir, we have passed
over this road in an automobile (not
our own, of course) when the buggies
and wagons were 50 thick that it was
almost impossible to make the trip
without collision. They even tell
rs that some Of the people of the Fork
cross tae river on the new steel bridge
and travel this road to Columbia.
We are informed, sir, that the roads
OF the Fork are soon Ito be worked; !
that the chaingang will work straight |
through from Lexington to Chapin. |
We hopo our inform tion is correct,
and chat onr correspondent, together
with the other people of the Fork, will
soan have roads that will cause them
70 rejoice with exceeding great JOY;
yea, roads. that will cause them to for
save and forget, and that there will
aos be cause for any more indignation
nor the adoption of any
more irdigsaatipn resolutions.
