I Wednesday, November 20.1901. 6UNTER FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL The most eonepieious and promi oeDt candidate before the people of I the State today for the office of Attorney General, is Mr. U. X Gunter, Jr., formerly of this county, but now of Spartanburg. We oan heartily endorse the candidacy of Mr. Gunter because we know that he is in every respect well qualified to discbarge all the duties appertainfUJo ftffl/ia "HTia leorftl attain tug IU ('jao vuiwv* AA?w menta are of tbe highest order and he is recognized by the Bench and Bar to be a young man endowed with sound judgment and practical experience in every branch of his profession. For sometime he has been connected with the Attorney General's office as assistant and in his official position he has been called upon to deliver opinions on many complex questions of law incident to tbe administration of the machinery of the Government, all of which have been recognized as able papers bearing the marks of careful thought and research of the authorities and have been affirmed by the judicial department whenever his conclusions have been questionfd. He has also been prominent in State politics and his record is clean and unspotted. Everything considered, Mr. Ganttr is the right person to till the office to 1 which he aspires with dignity, grace and ability and his maDV friends will lend every effort for his elevation to this position. XMPEOVE PUBLIC EOADS. Toe condition of many of tbe public roads of tbe county could be much improved by a mixture of sand and eluy intelligently applied, and the County Commissioners would + place tbe travelling public under lasting obligations should they give this matter their earnest and thoughtful attention at once. The road leading from Lexington to Edmund particularly is in need of such a remedy. Travelling over it in its present con dition is almost the same as to kill an animal by slow torture- To pull a load over is a flesb reducing task and is burdensome and worrying almost beyond endurance. It tries the patience of man and oftentimes mak^ him th:nk ugly words whether he gives utterarce to them or not. It may be that the road is not in such / an awful condition as that just described, but that it is in a heavy one and that it could be greatly improved by putting on it in proper proportions the mixture of sand and clay so as to make a firm and hard roadbed its entire length, is fully recognized by those who are compelled to travel over it. This is by no means the only read in the county which can be put in excellent travelling condition by an application of this road buildiDg material. Theae imt>rovemenfc could be made at a small outlay of the money of the ! taxpayers and the benefits returned j to them in good roads would be very large. In Richland tbey have adopted a system of road building that has proved to be a great success, and the expense of keeping them in repair is surprisingly low. Our County Commissioners have an opportunity to make a new departure in road rviatirsf* in this county that will for -o ever thereafter reiegate bad roads out j of sight and win for themselves the j ' approval of a grateful constituency. It is said that many Southern cities and towns will send delegations to Washington shortly after Congress meets to press the passage of the river and harbor bill. It in Hilled that twpDfv or muie counties cf tne State have sit?nifi their purpose to have exhibits cf their resources and products at 11e Ssuth Carolina and West Indian Ex position which is scheduled to cpeu io Charleston on December 1st. Among that number we regret to sh\ ihe name of Lexington fails to ap pear. Thie is icexplainable on any hypothesis excppt that of lack of ioterest in the Exposition. This condition is surprising when it is rememb red that heretofore always takes aa active ra t in every legitimate effort to ccnspiciously exhibit the un surpassed resources aDd epecimen^ of their products in every department of business life. Generally Lexingt >a people have token the lead in thuto m?rfprR and in everv corriD? tt tion in which they have made bat even half an effort, have come off with the blue ribbons, the emblems of victory, flying, and why they have tiken no interest in this imtince wtare at a loss to understand. Political elate makers have beeD in hot w,iter for sometime and some of the slates made by them for the different political offices are remarkable in their absurdity. They have had a prominent, State official slated as a candidate for almost every office from President of these United States down to Coroner of his county, and the earnestness and persistency with which the slates are mad9 impresses one with the belief that there is some one standing in the way of tbe political aspirations of some politicians that they would like to have removed. The food inspector of Pennsylvania has made the discovery that embilmiDg oysters is practiced to a largo extent by those who handle tbe juicy bivalves. Of the eighty samples submitted to tbe State chemist fortythree were found to contain the preservatives composed of borax and formaldehyde. A dispatch frotn Washington says that Senator McLaurin and family will take up th<-ir residence during t-hn nrpqpnf. Reason of OrncrP.cR at 101(1 East Capitol street, being not very far from the residence of Senator Tillman and family, which is fdso od Capitol street. The latest reports from Miss Stone, the captured missionary indicate that the Bulgarian or Turkish brigands have not yet been paid the ransom demanded by her abductors, but there is reason for feeling reassured as to her future. Crowinshield, at present head of the bureau of navigation, and who above all others made a vsin effort to rob Admiral Scbley of the glory of do stroying Cevera'? magnificent fleet, has as a punishment been transferred to active service on the waters. Editor GonzYes, of tbe State newspaper, and Miss Barron, of Manning, were married last week. The Editor is to be congratulated in winning so fair and so charming a prize in tbe , matrimonial lottery. Senator Depew, of New York, bas accepted the invitation to deliver tbe opening oration at tbe opening of tbe South Carolina and We?t Indian Exposition at Charleston on December 1st. Mr. John S. Reynolds, a prominent newspaper man and a well known attorney at law of Columbia, was in town last week and paid our ofib'oe a visit. A Card of Thanks. "We take this method of thanking all who worked so faithfully in putting out the fire tbat consumed our ! dry-house on last Friday evening, and removed the large stacks of lumber near the dry-house to a place of safety.
