A SAD RECORD

Editor Dispatch-News: ~
The record that has been made in
Lexington county in this good year
1921, in murders, which were pre-
meditated and carried out in a brutal
and heartless manner is sad to think
Of. If redhanded murderers and
wiley barristers can sport among the
lives of our helpless and law abiding
people and judges and juries fail to
measure the crime and fix the penalty
in such cases according to the de-
mands Of justice the hope of the
people must perish. No court in Lex
ington county has had a better op-
portunity to protect the lives Of her
people, than the court which is to try
the merciless murderers now regis
tered on her criminal docket. We
trust the court.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 81, 1921
CLEAN FARMING

The warning issued by Clemson
College to the farmers Of this state
that it is time to think Of cleaning up
any spots about the farm that may
afford winter harborage for the boil
weevil is timely. One frequently
hears the remark, Look at Texas;
she has been making cotton under
boil weevil conditions OR 25 years"
So Texas has, but-and it is a big
one-Texas farms are not surround
ed by woods. According to Mr.. Frank
low, a former citizen Of this county
now living in Texas, even wooden
fence posts have been done away
with to lessen the places Of refuge
for the. weevil. Texas is an open
country with the least amount Of win
ter shelter available for the weevil,
and her farmers have long since
learned to keep their farms free from
grass hummocks and other places
where the pest might hibernate. 1t is
also to be said that no one can say
how much cotton Texas would be able
to grow without the bo1 weevil. The
past twenty-five years have witnessed
a great change in Texas. Gradually
the rancher, with his wide range for
cattle, has given place to the far
n1er. Had Texas been free from the
boil weevil and devoted her attention
as exclusively to cotton as South Caro-
lima she could doubtless have pro-
duced enough of the fleecy staple to
fill the needs Of the world.
Don't think too much about Texas.
Our conditions here are different. We
have a big problem to work out and
we must face it squarely. Unless we
do clean farming we had as well let
Texas make the cotton, because with
favorable seasons the boil weeVl will
eat us out of house and home.

A CARD FROM MR.. TAYLOR

To the Voters of Lexington county:
I wish to call your attention to the
fact that the old political Ring" at
Lexington is making every effort to
have you believe that it is absolutely
necessary that you elect to the office
of Judge of Probate a certain man
now in the race. The reason assigned
is that his election will save LeXing-
ton county from being "cut to pieces
There seems little use for me to ar
que what danger may come out of
such proceedings, for I am sure that
the good, thoughtful people of Lex
ington county will see the utter fool
ishness Of such an idea-that any one
man must be elected to an office in
order to satisfy any particular por-
.tion of the county. Every public Of
.ficer should be servant Of all the
people, and the representative of no
pdI SCI VI SSCllOll.
Let me urge you to beware OF these
"paid fellows who are going around
in the county under the direction of
the old "organized politicians"
spreading propaganda that is politi-
cal in essence and false in fact: They
are simply trying to dictate to you
just how you should vote.
The Brookland annexation question
should have nothing to do with the
selection of a Judge of Probate, as it
is not matter Of representation in
the county Offices that the Brookland
people are contending for but pure
ly a matter Of convenience. t6 their
county seat. 1 feel sure that these
people will consider we'll all of the
interests to be served by such a move,
and when they have done this, have
reason to believe that the good people
Of New Brokland will elect to re-
main in Old Lexington County. But
1 do not believe that any man in the
race can have anything to do with
keeping these people from doing
what they deem best for themselves.
This is supposed to be a Democratic
government under which we live, and
free men can do what they wish so
long as they do not interfere with
the rights of others. hope that no
man will be Influenced by others who,
it is known, have their own "politi-
cal axes" to grind. Vote for the man
who can best fill the offl.e, and shall
be satisfied.
CHAS. E. TAYLOR.
