rolling the voters for the primary
election, so as to distribute them
among the clubs of the county in
time for opening the books next Tues

[ some delay in getting the books from
the printer, but that they will be
sent to me at Edgefield as early as
possible and I will mail them to the
clubs immediately on receiving them
from Columbia. This wiir explain the
delay, should any occur.

ter, the division passenger agent ac
companied the excursionists and

contribute to it. The visitors were
met at the station in scores of auto
mobiles and conveyed to the campus
of the high scohol, where they were
welcomed and spent a very pleasant
day* We trust that our friends from

For Superintendent of Educa
tion.
A second candidate in the person
of Prof. G. F. Long announces this
week for the office of county super
intendent of education. Prof Long is
a very capable teacher whose expe
rience extends over a period of 37
years. He is therefore, quite familiar |
with the duties of a superintendent
of education. It is a strong endorse
ment of Prof. Long and a substan
tial compliment to him that for 27
years he has been employed as teach
er in the Trenton-Harmony commu
nity. He does not belong in the class
of prophets who are without honor
in the home community. If elected^
Prof. Long will give the people a
business-like administration.
Special June Offerings
We call attention to the full page
advertisement of Mr. Rubenstein
this week in which he announces spe
cial prices from May 29 to June 15.
During this great bargain-giving
period prices will be made very low

by it.

This week Mr. W. B. Cogburn who
has an enviable record of loyal and
faithful service as a public servant

election as clerk of court for Edge

nothing more need be said. His
friends in all parts of the county will

him on the last Tuesday in August.
