Mr. Edltor: I will give a few dots on co-operation as we have had some little experience in this line . We had the chain gang two weeks. The peo ple joined in and hauled on the Woodlord road last Saturday. Ev erything seemed like a frolic. Even the gang sang and worked more live ly. Mr. S. B. Knotts treated them to a lish fry and also pork and po tatoes. I called the attention of all present to co-operation. We could easily see what could be dorn? if farmers would concentrate their hearts and minds together. Mr. H Berry and I with quite a number of others went to the camp on Sunday afternoon and held a service with reading the scriptures and prayer. The convicts showed their apprecia tion and their singing was excellent I wish very much that many of j>?'-.t : readers could have seen this wont of co-operation; Men furnished wagons and teams for several days to work in the interest of good roads. Now let us extend this idea of co-opera tion to all our business. We don't lenow what we can do till we i?y. If we don't try we certainly will do nothing. Let us all work heartily on a co-operative basis for our God, for our country, for our Union and for ourselves. J. A. Long, Trinity Union No. 290. March 23, 1911. Overhauled Escaped Prisoner.

Mr. Editor: I ask the privilege of the columns of your paper to most heartily express my gratitude to the many kind friends who stood by me in my campaign for Probate Judge of Orangeburg County, and who by their support brought to me success. That I did not have the pleasure of moving more freely among the peo ple, as it was expected that I should do is a source of genuine regret to me; but as I held a public office in Orangeburg city, which called fcr al most constant demands, I felt that I should not seek the advantages of my own personal aims at the expense of the public interests under my care. I did, however, as opportunity offered, make brief visits to several sections of the county and was al ways kindly received l>v the people, and was specially gratified to find that those who knew me best when I served as Master some years ago were almost universally glad to give my candidacy their support. I shall enter upon the work to which 1 have been called by the vote of the people with a kindly feeling for everyone, whether or not they supported me in the campaign just closed, and with a sincere desire to mete out justice in all cases com;ng before me, and to discharge all the duties imposed upon me by law in such a way as will command the con fidence and esteem or all classes of our people. I thank you, Mr. Editor, for en abling me to place these expressions before the people. Andrew C. DibbleT Fell in Open Well. Mr. A. R. Byrd, a prosperous farmer w!:o lives near Branchville, came very near losing a fine horse Tuesday morning, when the animal fell into a twelve-foot well in the field, where he was ploughing. The horse stepped close to the open well when a large part of the ground around it caved in and the animal was precipitated to the bottom. As it fell it rested on its haunches with its head up so that the water con tained therein did not get into the nostrils. Mr. Byrd hurriedly came to town, got. some hands and rope, went back, dug out a trench and with the rope succeeded in taking the horse from the well. It came out not much the worse from the ex perience as no bon..-s were broken and only a few scratches had been suffered. Ball Game at Branchville.
