Pin jour tax receipt to your registration ticket and put both. of tbem away for use next November. One will be useless without the other You will have to show both to vote If yoa have -lost your tax receipt secure a duplicate at once. S udy out the election law carefully. Ic may be worth mach pains and 'annoyance to have the privilege of voting. Take all the trouble tbat is mcessary. I* yoa think the law was built to pre vent you from, voting defeat that purpose by learjaiog all tie requirements and complying with them strictly. Don't get m*id and refuse to reg ster. That is cutting off your own cose to spite your own face and playing right into the hands of the ring. No matter how much trouble, time and annoyance it costs, go and fix yourself to vote, to have a say in the conduct of affairs and the choice of officers; and the quicker, you do it and get it off your mind the better. Remember your old registration ticket is no good. Tobacco Culture. Mr. J. C. Lindler, of Saluda township was in town Saturday and made * us a pleasant call. He is one of the most progressive farmers of the Fork. He believes in diversified farming and has entered into arrangements ^ with Messrs. Luther Lindler, N.

Necessary barns for the curing of the weed have beeD erected. The soil of that section of the county is said to be especially adapted to tobacco raising and every other condition is favorably to the growth of a fine grade of tobacco.

That all acts of Congress since 1873 causing a shrinkage of money, either by the demonetization of silver or the retirement of paper money, were villianous measures in the extreme. 2.

As I will have to canvass five counties in the campaign it will be impossible for me to be present at all the political meetings in Lexington county, therefore, sincerely hope that such absence will not be looked upon as egotism on my part, but solely because it will be a matter of physical impossibility fcr me to be i i two separate and distinct places at one and the same time. Respectfully, J. A. Muller. Resolution was unanimously adopted commending him to the Democrats of this circuit. (MiEXiANCBBM OF SOUTH CAROLINA State, City & County Depository COLUMBIA, S. C.
