The second primary will have to he U'tween two of these three gentlemen. The other gentlemen will show up at the close in .about the f dlowing order: Hyatt. Richard- and Duncan. In the Itginning Richards had it on Hyatt,as they say on the street, hut "Brother Hyatt" with his organization,determination, nerve, money and a few other es-entials is a f w noses or lnaylw a whole length or two ahead of Sir Richards.

Greenwood Index. 11 it.:. --vf tlio rtl IH1> MilgC WI VIIV without having the pleasure of hearing the forensic eloquence of the patriotic gentlemen who arc toiling and moiling in the effort to serve their State, our contemporary's forecast a'*?ut coincides with our prophetic view, except that we would substitute tlyatt for Blease. Wc cannot admit the possiblity of Mr Blease's being "a close second". If the "dope" reads right Featherstone and McLood will make the second race with all the advantage for the prohibition candidate, inasmuch as lie will logically fall heir to the majority of Richard-' and Hyatt > votes?hoth being avowed "Statew ders"?while Mr Mcheod will have to worry along with the few thousands of followers of Blease. Mr Duncan seems to lie entirely a negligible quantity. T. Roosevelt is threatening to tour the \\*e-t and the South and make s{xvches.

Condescendingly, they allow their plates to be helped. They look at the food disdainfully, as if they had so ne spite against it and were deter ninod to take revenge. Then,a> if heroically resigning themselves as martyrs to a barbarous custom, they begin to eat. Looking at the bread abstractedly, and at the meat le I proachfully,they break a crumb from > the one and cut a bit of the other. They then gaze attentively into their glasses; but, not seeing a minnow or | a tadpole in the water, they gently 1 sip it. When these several actions are repeated a few times, the young i ladies say they have dined. From their behavior, one would suppose ? ? , _ i j that they lookerl upon eating as ai'* tog-ether a bore; that they regarded . it as an ordeal which should be abolished as soon as possible. But go do\yn to the cupboard about four , o'clock, after they have been to it, and it looks if a famine had come along.? Magazine. benjamin 1 sellers" The card of Benjimin Bethea Sellers announcing himself for , Congressman from the 6th Congressional district of South Carolina, will ' be read in another column in the Messenger. Mr Sellers is a son of Col. John C Sellers, Marion, and a grandson of the late Col W W Sellers, w ho wrote the History of Marion county after he was 82 years of age. Mr Ben B Sellers is a worthy son of a long line of worthy sires and if elected to Congress the honor and dignity and the progressive ideals of the people of the 6th Congressional district will never falter, stop and go down into the dust of humilation and disgrace by the results of bacchanalian orgies nor the direful re suits of "gambling in cotton futures.'' Mr Sellers does not drink, does . j__x: u..i ? ?i not neglect nis uuues, uui a pmiu, strong clear-cut young man of progressive ideas and a Democrat with no Republican leanings. Mr Sellers made o ne of the best and most ef- , fective Representatives Marion couniy has ever sent to Columbia to rep- | resent he rpeople. 1 He is a plain farmer, a graduate of WofTord College and a young man of the people and for the people. In the House of Reprentatives he was the champion of the people and 1 made some of the most effective J speeches in their interest made in that General Assembly. If the people of the 6th district ' should send Mr Sellers to Congress they will have an able, high, clean 1 young man, full of vigor, honor, ' truth and capacity to represent 1 their cause in the 62nd Congress of the United States and withal a man |1 wholly devoted to his farm, never 1 having been engaged in any other 1 vocation and remarkably successful. Mr Sellers not being a lawyer can- ; not be engaged by the trust to lead him away from the interest of the jieople. He is a born lighter for ' the truth and right, possessed of no I mean oratorical powers and an able debater for his years would make ? one of the cleanest, up-to-date Rep-! i resent at ives the 6th district has ever ! i had in Congress. ?
