Four divorces and 175 marriages,

There's evidently going to be
something doing in the old tar
heel town when cold weather
sets in.

the following unique "personal"
recently appeared in the "society
column" of an Iowa paper:
"Mrs. Coulter, being confined
to her bed by illness, will not
be at home next Thursday as
usual."
LTobably she expected to take
up her bed and promenade
aroupd the square.
The Supreme Court of South
i ?rr ma rendered a decision
Wednesday which is a record
breaker for brevity. Here it is :
"For the reasons stated by his
honor, tlie circuit judge, the
judgment of the Circuit Court
is affirmed". 'Nougli said. The
opinion is in the case of J. H.
Tindall against the Piedmont
Mutual Fire Insurance company
of Spartanburg and was written
by Judge Gary.
We hope that whoever shall
be elected to the legislature next
Tuesday will not feel called upon
to undertake to secure a repeal
of the new road law when the
General Assembly meets in Jan
uary. Amend the Act if necessary,
but do not kill it, tor it i9
the only decisive step the county
has ever taken toward materially
bettering the miserable condition
of her highways. It is not
claimed for the new law that it
is perfect?far from it, possibly
?but it can not be denied that
it is a movement in the right direction.
More than one wellfounded
objection has been made
to the law, but the defects can
easily be remedied by legislative
amendment. Lancaster cannot
aflord to go backward in this
matter.
Lancaster's progressive and
public-spirited young daughter,
Kershaw, has contributed $22 to
the Bryan campaign fund. This
town ought to give live times as
much, and yet, notwithstanding
our repeated appeals, not so
much as a penny has been handed
us to be forwarded to national
headquarters. As we euggested
the other day, somebody ought
to canvass the town with a subscription
list. Oheraw's board
ot trade gave $100 this week to
help elect Hrvan. While Lancaster,
unfortunately, has no
board of trade, though we have
oftentimes urged the need and
advantages ot such an organization,
the town has, nevertheless,
many enterprising bu-in ss
and professional men who are
just as loyal to the principles of
true democracy as are the ci'i
zers of Cheraw, and when approached
by a solicitor of campaign
funds will no doubt contribute
liberally.
The vote in the second primary
six years ago tor the United
States Senate in Lancaster conn
fy was as follows: John Gary
Evans, 10S9; Asbnry (\ Latimer,
7S0. In 'he recent primary
Evans received in this county
2<>2, and Smith, who now makes
the second race with him, I'i.Ti.j
The live other candidate^ in the i
first race received altogether 7<?4
votes. Now where will these
votes go next Tuesday!1 ('an'i

are not taking sides in this race,
nor in any other, for that matter.
Both .Smith and Evans are well
known to all of our people, and

such being the ca*e, we are satisfied
that the voters would prefer
to make their own choice
without any advice or suggestion
from us. Without intending to
hurt or help either candidate
however, we would call attention
to the rather remarkable
tact that if Mr. Evans should pet
on Tuesday,in addition to his vote
in the first primary, all of the
votes that were cast tor Khett,
.Johnstone, Martin, Lumpkin and
Grace, ttie five candidates who
have been dropped out, he would
still lack 30fi votes of receiving
as manv as did his opponent.
Mr. Smith, in the first, contest
We are assuming, of course, thai
the men who voted for Evans
and Smith in the first primary
will vote tor them again. But
such assumption may not be
correct, for that "politics is an
uncertain thing" has become an
axiom, and there's no telling to
what extent voters may change
their minds in two weeks' time,
The differences between Tail
and Foraker have been reconciled
and now the latter is doing all
lie can to elect the Republican
nominee for president?anothei
exemplification of the tact that
the Republicans, it makes no
difference how much they may
quarrel and light among them
selves, know how to net together
when an election is in sight.
