ilE SENINEL 0R. Eutored April 23, 1903 at FickensS. 0., as second class matter, under act of Congress of March 8, 1879. VOL, xxxl HCKi, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY MAY, 20 1908 In the Running. J. C. Jennings, who is an nounced for Sheriff, is offering for re-election. , Every man, woman and child in the county knows "Cal," and he has many friends who will work hard to keep him in office. J. M. Janieson, the present magistrate of Easley township, is a candidate for Sheriff. He has served. the People of his bailiwick faithfully for several years and made a good official, and his friends pledge that he will discharge the duties of the Sheriff's office unswervingly and without fear or favor. R. R. Roark offers to be sacri ficed on the altars of his county. He wants the office of Sheriff, and wants it bad, as you will see by a card published else where in this paper. Bob makes a plain statement of facts and says lie is fitted for the place and wants the salary. Every body in the county knows him, or of hin; his record is before them, and he asks for their suf frage on his merits. C. L. Cureton, and who does n't know Charlie, asks the voters of the county to consider his ap plication for, and fitness to, the -office of Sheriff. He makes no promises-to us, at least-of what he will or wont do; he says duty first and friends next. As an officer of the State for the past ten years he has proven his grit and worth, and has never been known to shirk or shun a duty. His record is before the people of the county, people who know him, people with whom he was raised, and he is making the race on his true manhood .and merits and will appreciate the support you give him. Sam B. Craig announces his candidacy for the office of Coni ty Auditor. Everybody knows lie is a pleasant spoken and affa ble gentleman, one who is comn petent to fill the office, and should he be elected will be a faithful servant of the people. Proctor A. Bonham, of Green ville, announces for Solicitor. We do not know Mr. Bonlian, but he is a son of Gen. M. L. Bonhani, and is fully competent and capable to discharge the duties of the office to which he aspires. M. C. Long, who aspires to be Solicitor, is a young man of good common sense and judgment; one who is thoroumgly familiar with every detail of the office, being a good lawyer and having been court stenographer of this circuit for some time. His friends predict his election and say he will b~e a terror 'to the law breakers. What his enemies say is immaterial. A. Jeff Welborn offers for the place of County Commissioner, and having served in that ca pacity ~before, is thoroughly familiar with the office and his friends say he was one of the best ever In there and if he is elected will discharge the duties to the best of his ability. E. F. Looper offers for re-elec tion as County Supen~ Isor. Being so well known over the county and having .filled the office ac ceptably for several terms, he . eeds no hntrodugloyi to the voters at our hands. His friends say he is the best ever in that position, that he has given the I best roads the county has over had and that he should be kept. there as long as he will serve. "Seek and yeshall find; knock ] and it shall be opened unto you." 2 This is a biblical injunction to which Frank'E. Cox is pinning I much faith these days. He is ( now-seeking enough votes in the J county to enable him to knock I at the door of the office of Clerk of Court and have it opened unto him. In common parlance, he t is a "runner"-a candidato-f )r Clerk of Court. Frank has a good record and stands well In the county and should he be ele.cted will make a good officer. t "Jine", the band of runners. j The woods are full of candidates C -you see their heads ~popping e up from behind almost every i dog-wood bush. Are you a candidate? If not, why not? The editor is "stretching his conscience" for the good of his country, and not at the insti gation of any candidate. He writes these skits of his own free 8 will and accord, and without price, to call your attention to the nierits of the various candi dates. (Contributions thankf ul ly received, but not yet given by any one.] Saiutday Night Reveries. Saturday night seems to < have the happy faculty of mak- t ing people human; set their ; hearts to beating softly-as they i used to do before the world turn ed them into war drums and jar red them to pieces with tattoos. On Saturday night the ledger closes with a clash, the iron door ed vault comes to with a bang, click, goes the key in the lock. Y It is Saturday night and the bus- 3 iness man breathes 'free again. Homeward, ho! The door that has been ajar all the week gently closes behind him, the world is , all shut out. Shut out? Shut 3 in, rather. At home are his trea- I sures after all, and not in the I vault and not in the book-save r the record in the old family Bible-and not in the bank. Maybe you are a bachelor, frosty and forty. Then, poor '( fellow, Saturday night is noth ing to you, just as you are noth ing to anybody. Get a wife, blue-eyed or black-eyed, but above all, true-eyed. Get a little home-no matter how little-a sofa, just to hold two, or two~ and a half, in It, on a Saturday night, and then road this para-,< graph by the light In your wife's eyes, and thaak God and take 1 courage. It is said that dancing makes girls' feet large. It Is also said that Ice-cream makes freckles. Doctors are of the opinion that hanging on the front gate pro duces rheumatism. A few more opinions like these and the girls won't have any fun left them. The production of oleomarga-) rine in the year ending June 30 last rose to '68,988,859 pons over 1896.

The executive committee of the Association met and arrang ed a program for a series of Lay-" men's missionary meetings to be held with each church on a reg ular preachiing day, the pastor co 1 operating. We have gotten up a neat card, which we ask each lay member to sign, pledging e himself to pray, work for and give to missions during the pres A ent year a certain sum. We dis s tribute these cards before the ser vice is held; then by the use of maps and statistics we show what is needed and explain the Layman's Movement, earnestly insisting that each man do some thing. After this we take a col lection, requesting that all the cards be returned. The signed ones are turned over to the pas tor of the church, You would be surprised how much the Lord 0 is blessing this work and when the matter of missions Is laid " squarely on a man's heart, he is bound to respond. You may Lt look for the Pickens Association s to do more than her part this year. Yours for Christ, J. T. TAYLOR. Pickens, S. C. ie a Hatching Ostrich Eggs. Ostrich eggs are being hatch ed in an incubator in this citr. A novel egg-hatching is being a- carried on at the store of Cren d shaw -Bros., iii upper Franklin street. Thirteerr fine ostrich eggs froni the recently establish ed Tampa ostrich farm have re cently been placed in an incu bator, and they will hatch off some time early in May. d It takes an average heat of 107 degrees and 45 days of constant y exposure to such heat to develop the germ in an ostrich egg and hatch a young ostrich; The eggs are worth $20 each, and it is a conservative estimate that the young bird will be worth more than twice that money after it has passed the first month of its gexistence. Some idea of the size of the .eggs may be gathered from the k fact that the Mandy Lee incuba tor, which is being used for the yhatch, wouldl hold 140 average hen eggs. Fourteen of the ostrich eggs would fill it corn k pletely. An empty ostrich egg holds just one quart of liquid. d Tampa Times. n Old Soldiers' Day-June 3d. oFollowing Is the programme for the day: Assembling of Veterans in front of Baptist church at 10 a. mn.. ii10.20 a. m.-March to court a house.
