THE BAPTIST CAMPAIGN.

South. Carolina Baptists have un-
dertaken a campaign which some time
ago would have staggered the minds
Of South Carolinians. but the war has
taught our people to think in larger
financial units than our widest
dreams could have anticipated. South
Carolina Baptists have tackled the
problem of raising a fund of S5,5Oo,-
100000 for the advancement of the
cause of religion and Christian edu-
cation in a manner which augurs well
for the success of the undertaking.
Some States in the South have already
measured up to their full quota, and
we do not doubt that South Carolin-
ians will allow themselves to be out
stripped in matter Of such vital i'm
portance.
We wish our good friends every
success in their praiseworthy under
taking.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The time is fast approaching when
our people should begin to take in
mind preparation for the county fair
to be held this fall. With bounte-
Gus harvest in prospect it should not
he difficult to select specimens for
exhibit which would demonstrate
the preeminence Of Lexington as a
county of diversified agriculture. From
present prospects the fair this year
should be one Of the very best ever
given. With a little forethought and
preparation on the part &C those who
expect to exhibit it should prove a
landmark in these annual events long
to be remembered in the history OF
the county. The process of selecting
the best specimens for exhibit should
begin at once. The premium list is
now in course Of preparation and will
soon be issued and this should prove
an added stimulus to those interest

Lexington Dispatch-News.

(Newberry Herald and News)
This good old paper, which has
been for nigh onto fifty years under
the management of Mr.. G. NJ. Har-
man, has passed into other hands.
Mr.. Harman was a charter member
of the South Carolina Press associa-
ton which was organized away back
in the seventies, and before that he
was in the newspaper business. Mr..
Harman will be associated with the
new owners, but has disposed Of his
holdings in the paper. We are glau
that he is going to remain with the
paper, because we know for him to
have severed connection entirely
would have been like parting with
his best friend forever.
The new owners are Mr.. Ira M.
Sigh, formerly of Newberry, and Mr..
W. T. Walker, formerly of Camden.
Both are practical newspaper men,
and we have no doubt will make a
success of the paer. Mr.. Sigh got
his start in The Herald and News
office and we know that he is an ex-
pert in the mechanical department,
and Mr.. Walker will look after the edi-
torial end. The first issue under the
new management has been received
and it shows up well.
We feel an especial interest in the
bows who have gone out from New
berry, and we shall be pleased to see
the paper do we'll under the new
MANAGEMENT. This is a fine field and
the paper is so we'll established in
the homes of the Lexington people
that it has become like member OF
the family, and has gone on from one
generation to another.
We shall read the paper with great
er interest than before.

WE WILL WELCOME THEM.

(Newberry Herald and News.)
We notice from. the Lexington
DISPATCH News that the legislative
delegation. and the supervisor and
the superintendent of education went
over to Chaplin to have q meeting
with the people of that section to ar
range to keep them from going into
Newberry county, and to offer to
build the roads in that section and to
do many more things for them.
Pity the supervisor did not see the
advisabiity of doing something for
the roads on this side long ago. Pos
sibly then the movement to draw out
of the county would never have been
suggested But it is a fact that the
roads on this side of the county have
been woefully neglected.
The people did not meet the dele
gatiou, and they went back home.
DR.. Dreher, a member Of the delega-
ton, gave out the following state
ment upon his return:
Il should certainly not like to see
our friends in the upper part of the
county cut away from Lexington. but
since the movers in this matter have

(From The Wateree Messenger

(From The Wateree Messenger.)
We have received a copy of the
Lexington, Dispatch-News, which for
many years was owned and edited by
Mr.. G. NJ Harman, but Mr.. Harman is
now associate editor and the publish
ers are Thornley, Walker and Ira
Sigh. The paper contains sixteen
pages and is brim full of live reading
matter and advertising. Somehow
the town and county of Lexington
always patronized the Lexington Dis
patch, and it is evidently appreciated
by the people whom it serves. Under
the new management it is bound to
be a good paper. Ebert Aull, Of the
Newberry Herald and News, brags on
Ira Sigh, and says he got hisssta In
his office, and we can brag on Thorn
ley Walker, for he got his start in
our office, and is one of the straight
est fellows we ever saw and withal
intelligent and capable. He was with
The Messenger about eight years and
it was a matter of genuine regret
when we had to give him up. We
have no doubt but that all the good
things that Bro. Aull says about Ira
Sigh are true, and we have just a
little claim on him, too, for he is relat-
ed to us by marriage. A fine team IN
a fine community and success will be
sure to come their way.

TO SECEDE OR NOT.

Our good friend the Newberry Her
aid and News is entirely wrong When
it assumes that the attitude of the
Lexington county legislative deiega-
4ion is meant in any sense as a threat
toward the good people of the upper
part of the county who have been
agitating the matter of anneXing them
selves to zNewberry county. The dele
gatton ismore than anxious to meet
these citizens half way in an effort
to retain them as part of the old
county, but as a plain commonsense
business proposition, they want to
know the sentiment Of that section
Of the county as to annexation before
taking further action. The matter
having progressed to the point where
an election has been asked for, it
seems to us that the delegation is Ell
tirely justified in wanting to know the
result Of that election before commit
ting themselves to the. expenditure.
of a. large sum of money. We are sure
that the Newberry representatives,
were the circumstances reversed,
would feel just the same way about
the matter. It is very doubtful
whether the election would result fa-
vorable to annexation. Many believe
that the majority will see that moth
ing is to be gained by the move, par
ticularly when they have every as
surance that by remaining they will
secure perhaps as speedily and as sat-
isfactorily the Improvement of the
roads, of which they stand in such
need. = If, as our friend in Newberry
says, these good people have in the
past been neglected, it is unfortunate,
but now that the authorities are will
ling and anxious to remedy their COM
plants we cannot see any gain for
them in changing their citizenship to
NeWDerry.
The demand for good roads has on
~ recently been so intent and it is
no reflection on anybody if here and
there are spots which it has been nee
essary to overlook in order that ROADS
over which the greater volume of
traffic goes should first be put i'll good
condition. The tremendous rains of
this summer have added to the diff
Guilty Of the situation.
We are sure that there is nothing of
a threat in the attitude Of the Lex
inston officials. If there has been a
threat it has been constituted by the
attitude of those who have declared
their purpose to withdraw from Lex
ington and unite with Newberry. In
order to clarity the whole situation it
would be better to have the election
and find out where we ARE at
