TREND OF THE TIMES
PROVEN BY THE HEN

For months past people have heard
Of the hard times, talked of the hard
times, and lived the hard times, but
few ever dreamed that conditions
would or could ever descend to the
present level. The last notch IN
'tightness' was reached in Lexington
county this morning when a hen be-
longing to Weather Prophet Jake
Snelgrove laid an egg with a string
tied to it, it being the evident pur-
nose of. the hen to hold her product
for higher prices. For those doubling
.Thomases who have to see before
they will believe we will state that
the string has been broken and the
egg removed to The Dispatch-News
office and is on display here.

SHRINERS
HAVE LARGE TIME.

A party Of Lexington Shriners went
I'd Charleston last week to attend the
spring festivities customary to this
fun seeking order. All who were for
'tunate enough to be present are loud
in their praises of the reception ten
dered them by city officials and others
in the City by the Sea. The party
left here Wednesday and returned
Friday evening. The old Shriners re-
port an excellent time, the city being
made an u"open. house" for them, and
the Isle of Palms being turned en-
tirely over to the visitors. The fresh
meat delegation from here also say
that there was a good time had, but
fail to state whether they participated
in this as fully as the old members
did or not.
Those composing the party were:
NJ. p. Bodie, DR.. -. f.. Sawyer, DR..
Norman Geiger and J. E. Hammer.
DR.. J. H. Matthias and John T. SoN
were given the Shrine degree at this
meeting.

ROAD NEEDS REPAIRS.

Depot street is in need of repairs.
being Very rough in places. This IS
one Of the most travelled roads in or
around Lexington and it would be we'll
if the town and county authorities
could get together on som" plan by
which this road would be kept up.
An evidence Of the value Of good
roads is the fact that most Of the
Columbia wholesale houses are now
delivering their goods in Lexington by
truck in preference to shipping them
by freight, and some Of the Lexington
inns have adopted the same system,
the Lexington Cotton & Fertilizer
Company having delivered cotton at
the mill door in Columbia the past
week by truck.

The dispatch-news. [volume] (Lexington, S.C.) 1919-2001, 1921-06-08

The board of county commission
ers, at the regular monthly meeting
Monday, took a decided step towards
holding the county funds back for alb
solutely necessary road work, when
they decided that hereafter they
would absolutely refuse to pay for
any road work which had not first
been authorized and inspected by
member Of the board. The system
heretofore obts ming was for differ
ent persons to perform the work they
believed to be necessary on the roads
in their immediate neighborhoods
and present a bill, which was gener-
ally paid without inspection of the
work done. . The new board, how
ever. has decided to sit fatty down on
this practice. It proposes that when
ever work is necessary it shall first
be authorized by a member of the
board and. later inspected by such
member in his respective district.
With all the talk about good roads
it may seem unusual that the board
has found it necessary to warn the
people of the county to refrain from
working the roads, but, as will be
seen by referring to the advertising
columns of this weeks paper, they
are giving due notice to all concerned

THREE-LEGGED ROOSTER
SHOWN BY DIR. HARMON

Ks Dir. Rice 3. Harmon, manager OF
the Harmon Drug Company the
Rexall store, who is ever on the alert
10 find things unusual and interesting
for his many customers, had the luck
one day last week to run across
three-legged rooster, which he i'm
nediately bought and has placed on
display for the delectation and ed1fl-
cation ,of. the passershy. 7His~roya1
hiehness. the rooster, who boasts the
proud possession Of three legs where
only two ought to grow. is now oc-
c,1pying coop just outside the store
Of the Harmon Drug Company, under
the stairway leading to the second
story of the Harmon building, and is
apparently as proud Of his unusual
accomplishment, or rather gift Of
nature, as a monkey with new red
can. Evidently Monsiuer Chanteclier
does not regard his tertiary extremity
as either an incumbrance or detor-
mity. but is as proud and self-satis-
fed as any other cook of like breed,
and carries himself with as naughty
an air as ever graced the boss OF any
harvard walk. and seems entirely
uncorned Of the comment caused by
his oeculiar formation. Drop by and
see the freak.

COUNTY COMMISSION ERS MUST
AUTHORIZE AND lNSPECTROAD
WORK BEFORE CLAIMS ARE PAID

that they intend to pay only for such
work as is authorized and inspected.
Many believe that in taking this ac-
ton the commissioners will go long
way towards solving the county's
financial difficulties. Such a system
will give the commissioners accurate
knowledge of just how much OF the
countyss money has been spent and
how much more is available at all
times. In this way it will be pos
sible to avoid a deficit, though some
of the roads may have to be sighted
for a while.
No Bids for Supplies.
Although the commissioners adVer-
tised several weeks in advance that
they would receive bids for furnish
ing supplies for the county not a
single bid was received at the meet
ing last Monday, and the board was
forced to do the best it could under
the circumstances.
The first Monday in July falling on
the 4th, legal holiday, and for the
further reason that the new treas
urer. Willie J. Smith, will take office
.Julv l and several days will be nee
,essary to complete the transfer, the
regular July meeting of the county
commissioners will be held on the
18th.

COTTON CROP BEING
DESTROYED BY SOME

Due to the presence Of great num-
sections of the county are plowing up
their cotton and planting the land to
other crops. 1t has been reported
that the weevil has been found by
the hundreds in some localities. ana
rather than take the chance OF hay
ing the staple completely destroyed by
the pests the farmers have decided TO
beat the insects by substituting other
