Offers Superior Advantages.
Leesville College offers a higher
Btandard than ev^r before. Our people
will appreciate this effort to furnish
such superio advantages right
in their own county. Some of our
best families have found out the excellent
course Leesville provides and
are sending their sons and daughters

Latimer for the U. S. Senate.
A Partial Record of What He Has Accomplished
in Congress.
The Third Congressional District*
and Anderson county in particular,
presents a candidate for the United
States Senate in the person of Congressman
A. C. Latimer who has
flfnono fr\v f-ho nlflr?.A ftq fthnwn
OpCV/lOl UIIUQOO vuu
by bis past record. And what is
that record? A poor boy left by the
fortunes of war without the means of
securing an education beyond that
afforded by the old field school, he
started life with the only legacy left
him?that of the plow handles. He
has tried the field and the furrow in
all its varying phases, and is and has
been a successful farmer, ard more
thoroughly understands the needs,
and is in more thorough sympathy
with the agricultural population than
any other man in the tHd. And this
not in antagonism to the other varied
interests^of the State, but as ljing
at the basis of ail true prosperity, realizing
that these interests are corollaries
growing out of the agricultural
interests of the State, and that as
agriculture is prosperous the others
will necessrialy share in it, and that
no country and no other interests
can prosper when agriculture is depressed.
Mr. Latimer has brought to the
public service the same zeal and
energy, the same honesty and square
dealing, the same practical business
sense that has guided him thn ugh
life in his private business, and that he
has made a success of it. Look at the
record of his ten years in congress in
results brought to people of the Third
district. It is not exaggeration to
say that he has secured more in ten
years than all the other congressman
who have represented the district
since the war, and this is not said to
disparage them but as a simple statement
of truth. He went into congress
a new and untried man, fresh
from the fields, sent there by the
farmers, inexperienced in legielation
and not skilled in the graces of oratory,
and it was not long until this
# __ I . i* 1_ 3 i 1
iarmer representative naa sometnmg
tangible to show. The railroads in
the State in the hands of receivers in
the Federal courts bad for years failed
to pay their taxes due the State,
and he at once set in motion the necessary
legal machinery to make them
pay their taxes just as the farmers
have to do. He came to the relief of
the State, and it is within the knowledge
of all how the sheriffs of some
of the counties were imprisoned for
attempting to collect these back taxes
But he was at length successful and
the railroads were made to pay $208,
000 into the State treasury. Soon
after his entrance into congress he
took up the matter of securing the
claim of Newberry college for $15,000
for injury to their building by the
occupancy of the Federal troopsThis
bill had been pending for years,
and its friends had almost despaired
of ever getting it passed, but Latimer
succeeded where otherB had failed,
and the college got the money. He
has been instrumental in increasing
the number of seed packages from
3,000 to 15,000 in each district, and
thousands of farmers today testify
that the seeds are the best they ever
had; and thousands upon thousands
of farm bulletins are distributed giving
the results of the work of the department
of agriculture.
But passing over some other matters
the greatest good that he has
Becured to the people of his district
is the establishment of the rural free
delivery of the mails to the homes of
the people. He has never claimed to
be the originator of the system, but
only to be one of the first men to
perceive the great benefit there is in
it and to give it a practical application,
and today there are 90 routes in
operation in his district at a salary of
$600 per carrier, bringing $54,000
annually into the district and conferring
vastly improved mail facilities
upon the people.
He has introduced a bill, which is
now pending, providing, for 1,500,000
acres of the public domain to be set
apart for the public schools of South
Carolina. He has now a corps of
surveyors in the State instructed by
the agricultural department to make
a soil survey of 1000 square miles of
territory to ascertain the constituent
elements of the soil with reference to
its adaptability to the production of,
WZ^MMO?1??B?n?
crops. He has also introduced an
amendment to the agricultural bill
appropriating $150,000 for experiments
in road making. These matters
are referred to to show the practical
lines along which he has been
working.
These are but a portion of the
benefits this farmer representative
has secured for his people, and he
comes now asking you to give him a
wider field for the display of his usefulness.

The candidates for the House are
a jovial, clever set of fellows and to
crack jokes on each other is as natural
as it is for water to seek its
level.
Epti ;g claims that while from the
Fork his interests were on this side
of the Saluda river. Shealy retorted
that he had often heard tell of a man
trying to ride two horses and straddle
a fence, but never before had he
seen a man trying to straddle Saluda
river.
Wingard twitted Towill with being
non progressive because he was
still living in a state of single blessedness.
Towill replied by saying
that the good Lord knew that he was
doing his level best to get out of the
gulf of despondency and that it was
not his fault that he had been joined
to a pretty piece of calico but when
he would be he would not go to
Virginia for it.
In tones of thunder Shealy exclaims:
If you want a good looking
man to represent you, send Efird;
but if you want an ugly one?one
that can and will do you some good,
then send me.
Wilson is the dryest one in the

If there is any virtue in the saying
that "the longest pole knocks down
the persimmon" Major Counts is certain
to get there.
After the primary some of the candidates,
no doubt, will be found in
the predicament of the Fox and the
old Farm Bell. The farmer had
been missing his chickens in a coop
under the bell, and he determined to
catch up with the midnight marauder,
so be set a steel trap and tied it
to the rope which rang the bell.
During the night the fox came as it
was expected he would do, and was
caught in the trap. He made desperate
efforts to free himself and
everytime he struggled the bell would
ring?the more he struggled the
more the bell would ring. Finally he
gave up and on viewing his surroundings
he spied the bell,and exclaimed:
"What are you anyhow! iou have
a darned big mouth, a long tongue,
make a h?11 of 'fuss' and nothing
done." So it will bo with some of
our candidates. They will stand on
the various platforms at the campaign
meetings, make a h?11 of a fuss and
nothing done. Not being a prophet
nor the son of a prophet we will not
predict who they will be.
"Tigers and Gamblers."
Are Taking an Active Hand in Politics
In Charleston and Columbia.
Strange things occur in politics
theBe days. Information comes very
straight from Columbia and Charleston
that the gamblers and "blind
tigers" have become "perniciously
active in politics within the last few
weeks. JuBt what is influencing
tnem nas not luiiy come to iignt. it
is certain, however, that they are
taking no interest in anything but
the gubernatorial race and that they
are using all their efforts to defeat
"Farmer" Hey ward. They are backing
a man of their choirs. On the
other hand, it is said, all the people
employed in the big State Dispensary
are for Heyward.?Exchange.
