Government Aid to
Improve Highways.

We have been An earnest advocate
Of thesdootrine that the National Gov
ernment ahould contribute toward
building and maintaining the public
highways both through the columns
of the Dispatch, in the days that
have gone by and more recently else
where.
The National Government annually
for years past, has appropriated mil
lions of dollars to improve the Flyers
and harbors of this great country Of
ours, many of which it has never
used and in all human probability
never will use; and since this govern
meat has been an organized govern
ment, it has never until recently con-
tributed one cent, if our memory is
not at fault, toward the building and
maintenance Of the public high nays
of the country. For years and years,
the government has used our public
roads as star routes and later on as
both star routes and free rural routes,
claiming and exercising the right Of
way over them to the interruption many
times to both .travel and traffic, and
in all these years the counties Of the
country have had to bear the burden
of their maintenance.
There is neither justice or equity
in this stingy policy OF the National
Government. The Government is
Just as much, and if anything more,
duty bound to contribute its share of
the cost Of maintaining our public
roads, as it is in bearing all the OK
pense of improving our rivers and
harbors, because the benefits saccru.
ing from good roads are greater to the
government and the people than riv-
'ers and harbors are and the former
serves D., greater number OF people,
and are more valuable to the govern:
ment in the transportation Of mail
!, matter. We are glad to know that
the intering wedge has been driven
home and We trust that Congress can
see it's way clear to make large sp.
preparation in each State for roads
and bridges.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINA
TON.
Lexington Farmer Shot from
Ambush-Dick Harley
Charged with Crime.

Lexington, January Especial:
Dick Harley a white man about so
years of age was lodged in jail last
night by Sheriff Sim J. Miller, charg-
ed with the attempted assassination

ing painful, but not necessary danger

recognized his assailant as "Dick'
Harley, and the son of Jefcoat went
before Magistrate u. W. Jefcoat at
Swansea yesterday morning and i'm
mediately swore out the warrant, it
being issued on information and be-
lief.'
The two men are near neighbors,
living only about mile from each
other in the lower section Of the
county and have been at outs for
some time. The trouble originated, it
is said, from the fact that Harley has
sworn ont q warrant for Jefcoat,
charging living in adultery. The pre-
liminary was held before Magistrate
@. r. Riah at Pelion, on Tuesday, and
the charges were dismissed. On the
way home from the trial. it is said
that Harley made threats against JEFF
coat, and wanted to shoot him On the
highway. BE was prevailed upon not
to carry ont his threat; butts said to
have borrowed gun with which to.
shoot Jefcoat.
Harley will not discuss the case.
It is said that he and his wife have
not been living together for several
months, and that he charges Jefcoat
with the alienation of his wife's af-
fections.
