As long as politicians-and -great is.the pi'y that sometimes they make great professions of religion-hire agento, or heelers, or whatever you choose to call thf-m, to do.certain dirty work that they (the said politicians) claim t0 be above doing, just eo long will we have corrupt elections. It is B'aid that of the 170 bank ers in attendance upon the recent Bankers' convention in New York, 114 are avowed supporters of Roosevelt and only 56 have de clared themselves for Parker . This alone should cause . the masses, the rank and file of Ameri can citizenship, to support Judge Parker._' - Hardware stores in pariB of Geor gia are said to be doing a "land Office business'' in firearms and ammunition since the "Before-1 Day-Clubs" have been discovered among the colored people.. Un earthing clubs that were organized for the sole purpose of murder, robbery and incendiarism is enough to cause people to prepare for any emergency. If the grand jury of Aiken coun ty does its full duty criminal pro ceedings will be instituted against those persons who have brought shame and disgrace upon the en tire second congressional districl by corrupting the ballot box ic the Horse Creek valley during the late elections. Votes were openly o Some are advising the farmers to hold their cotton for highei prices. We frankly say thai, we do not know what is best for the farmers at large, but have no hesi tancy in advising those who owe money, and are paying interest, to market their cotton as rapidly as it can be picked. With cotton selling above ten cents the man . who owes money cannot afford to take chances. .Sixty days from to-day it may be selling for twelve cents or eight cen ts. Who knows ? Ten cents per pound in bank or on a.mortgage is far better than fif - teen cents in prospect. God save the mark ! Notwith standing the fast that liquor is conceded to be the direct cause of scores of crimes in Saluda county, ?ud has contributed largelv to the general demoralization of the peo ple, Mr. W. L. Dauiel, who only Jacked a few votes of election in I the first primary, was defeated for J the Hou3e in the second election " because he favored tho Brice bill which allows the people to exer cise the right to vote out the di* pensary if they desire to do so. We had indulged the hope that Saluda county at no distant day would occupy a conspicuous place in the galaxy of counties but now if seems to be a case of Ephraim being joined to hi? idol. Government Building for Aiken - -When congress conveues Hon. T. G. Croft will endeavor to se cure an appropriation to erect a government building for the post office for Aiken. At a recent meet ing the city council offereH a lot on Park avenue, "having 90 feet front and 100 feet depth, to the government free as a site for the I building. lu a statement given to the Treasury department as to the population of Aiken, business of the postoffice, etc., the follow ing facts aro given: Population in 1893, 3,900; population in 1903,1 5,100 and population for 1913 estimated at 9000. Receipts cf the office 1893, $4,738; 1903, $8, 360 and receipts for 1913 estimat ed to be $15,000. We trust thal Congressman Croft will succeed in "landing" a handsome building for.Aiken. So-seldom ie it that government funds are appropriat ed for the south that we are re joiced when they can be legiti mately obtained for-any purpose whatsoover, m O. Bi ar nc Sf Ol boes if rom the Election in thc ;cond Congressional District. ElectioDS in Aiken county seem grow worse and worse. Some ing should be done to elevate 9 campaign to a higher plane. ken Journal and Review. The primaries are over, and tbout doubt they were the dirt st ever held in South Carolina, ore dirty, malicious -falsehoods are distributed to defeat men for Bee than ever before. We never ant to sse another .primary elec on if they are to be conducted ke the recent ones. There must B a chango, for good men will ;eadfastly refuse to submit to. ?ch an ordeal in order to serve aeir State.-Bamberg Herald. The election in Aiken county is ver, but it has left a very bad aste in the mouths of all persons ;ho have any right to anypreten ion to decency, for it was the oost corrupt election held since econstruetion and radical days. Vhen one hears of the open bri ary that was practiced he is not lurprised that Aiken county bas jamed an unenviable reputation .or corropt political methods. It is stated by many who saw the infamous transaction* at the polls that voters * were openly bought. There was not oven pre tense at concealmpnt, but general ly $2.00 were paid for a vote shamelessly sold. And these vo ters so bought were white men; the more infamy in them. It is evident that the time has come whe.i drastic measures are necessary to restore a measure of bouesty to our elections. And if the members of the legislature really do desire honest elections they should put their minds to gether and enact some law that would tend to restrict such cor ruption as has boen practiced iii Aiken county duriug the past few dayB.-Aiken Recorder. Friends anti Fellow-Citizens o? thc Second Congress ic nal District: To my frisnds. I desire to ex press my gratitude far their loya support in the recant primary but since words are so inadequate I will simply say, I thank you. To "mine enemy" I have oulj to say. that I will endeavor to un burden my memory of the injus tices that tht*y have practice! upou me. To the friends of my opponent I wish to express my hearty com meudatiou, fur having stood h their friends. For the great mass of citizen gre!, that we have not knowu ead other bettor. And, however much of a disa-> pointmejt defeat may be to me your verdict against my t'urthe public Bervice at this time is ac cepted without bitterness. Of my two opponents I also wisl to say, that I am not only withou malice towards them, but on th contrary, my personal regard fo: them is higher than when we en tered the campaign together. L. J. WILLIAMS. Card of Thanks. MR. EDITOR: I desire to exteuc to the people of Edgefield couuh my sincere thanks for their uni fDrm courtesy to me during th? recent campaign, and for the oon fidence they have repoeed iu m< in electing me to the State Senate I am deeply grateful, and hop? that I may prove myself worth} of this confidence by a faithfu discharge of duty.

Letter to W. R. Covar, "EDGEFIKLD, S. C. Dear Sir: Let's have a "little private talk by ourselves on busi ness; nobody else, please, read. You want to know to do a cheap job of painting, and have it look good. Here it is: The cheapest thing there is in the way of a good looking job -say nothing about its being good-is Devoe : the regular thing in Devoe. The reason is : Devoe goes fur ther than anything else. Load ind-oil is good-looking; dou't go JO far and costs more. The other saints are moro or less short inj me wav or another; don't go sol far and costs more than Devoe. Devoe costs least of all; you lon't mind its lasting longer,* do 'ou ?

L. PRICE, Pi est. S. HAR ISON, Sec. JOHNSTON. The W. C. T. IL had a dime ?adiug ou Friday night at the >vely and hospitable homo of Dr. 7. L. tSeiglor. Thirty or forty adiee responded lo the invitation, nd two or three gentlemen. This mall attendance was owing to sveral reasons. One was possibly meeting of th" Knights of 'ythias, another being that it ras not sufficiently advertised nd still another an indifference o the cause of temperance. This ^difference is verified in.the tact hat one day last week twenty-five ugs came up by express. These ugs represent at tho lowest esti mate fit ty dol'ars. Four dollars :or Temperance and fifty for Iii ;emperauce. Rather a sad showing "of a civiltz"d, intelligent com cnuuity. Mr. and Mrs. J. 3.

Mr. James Bodio went to Au gusta last week and brought back a load of goods for hiB store, also Mr. H. H. Smith. The morcbants of our town are filling their stores with new[goods. Whyjuot buy from the home folks, rather than go to Augusta, when you can do just as well at home.-So before you go to Augusta look through the great stock of goods at Prescotts, Bod ies, Smiths and Earnest Quarles. Miss Sindia .Gilchrist and Mr. W. Blake, of Ninety Six, were married at the home of the bride's mother last Wednesday at high noon.
