Dr. W. H. Ti mmerman is conceded by every one whom we have heard express themselves to be one of the purest men in the State. It is certain that his public and private life is above reproach and against whom no whisper or breath of suspicion has ever been heard. These being indisputable facts what more do the people of the State require in their Chief Magistrate * Do you want purity in office ? Then vote for Dr. Tim merman for Governor. Do you want honesty, competency and ability, then vote for Dr. Timmerman and you will have all three Of these virtues combined in one man. * Do you want a man who will fearlessly and with even and exact justice enforce the laws of the State as he finds them upon the Statute books, then vote for Dr. Timmerman. All things considered, Dr. Timmerman is the most eligable candi, *, date for Governor before the people today. We find some men who say that they would vote for Dr. Timmerman r but they do not care to lose their vote. Now, in ail honesty and candor, how do they know they will lose it by voting for him. His chances are eqnal to any candidate in the race. The resQit is mixed np with considerable uncertainty and if those who want purify in the politics of our \ State will do what they ought to do if they will give the Doctor that assistance and encouragement that will place him in a position where he can accomplish a great deal along this line. Hon. W. H. Sharpe, candidate for Comptroller General, is a LexingtoD county boy, haviDg been born and reared in the sand bills of the county By reason of adverse circumstances, has had to fight the battle of life by by his own unaided efforts. With commendable persistency and prai6ewor thy industry and pluck he allowed nothing to torn him from his fixed purpose of making his mark in the world. He has succeeded in carving out for himself a name and reputation that is now State wide and in which any young man might justly take pride. We have watched his record during the present campaign with much interest: and if the newspaper accounts, concerning him be true, which they doubtless are, he is making a winning race. Today Senator Sharpe stands on the State ticket as Lexington's representative and patriotism and county pride should induce every voter to lay aside all personal preferances and give him their hearty and undivided support on the 26th. That he is competent to faithfully and acceptably discharge the duties of the of? n t i lice is not questioned even oy lis opponents, and that he is the equal in every other respect is admitted by nearly every one, and for these and other considerations Lexington county expects each one of her Bons to support him at the polls on next Tuesday. Voter, your duty to your county is plaiD, end that is to vote for W. H. Sharpe for Comptroller General. See to it that you do so. At Conway Dr. Timmerman "flustrated1' Col. Talbert by asking him how he would divide thj dispensary profits, giving to the negro schools that portion spent by thenegioes and to white schools that portion spent by the whites. The Colo ;el '^flunked.'" \ In this issue we reproduce an admirable sketch of the public services of Hon. George JohnBtone, of Newberry, candidate for United States Senator, and we take pleasure in bearing testimony to his fitness and competency for the office which he is seeking. Colonel Johnstone is one of the brainy men in the State and as an attorney and counselor he has no superiors and but few equals. Being a logical reasoner, combined with an eloquent delivery makes his utterances both convincing snd im ! pressive. Clean in record and faitbI ful in all bis ooligations as a man | and a citizen-he can be relied upon I trusted to act well his part in any emergency. On the great political issue he is sound and orthodox, with the the exception of the tariff and a few other minor ones, but on these we have hopes that when he goes to Washington as a Senator from ttie State of South Carolina and the representative of its progressive people he will see things in a different light, being broad and liberal minded, his views on them will doubtlesB undergo a radical change. This beiBg an election in which the discussion of all issues have been positively forbidden by the power that be except those specifically approved, and those only affirmatively, by the twice rejected Kansas City platform, measures have been eliminated and the choice is narrowed to men oaly, therefore we can consistently say Mr. Johnstone possesses in an eminent degree all the qualities of character, disposition and training which marks the astute statesman and the patriotic citizen. His experinces in public life and his gifted intellect are such as to make them valuable to the State and useful to his consti$ * tuents, and his election, under existing environment, would be a credit to the State. We take pleasure in presenting to the voters of Lexington county for their consideration the claims of Mr. U. X. Gunter for Attorney General. This young man hss made a record in his profession that has excited the favorable comments of some of the brightest and ablest Jurists of the State. Daring his public life, his record has been clean and above reproach, being thoroughly acquainted with all the'details of the office for which he is a candidate. As a lawyer he stands without an equal. His opinion has time after time been sustained by the court of last resort. A vote for him means a vote for honesty and competency in office. The people of .Lexington know him well, he having grown up from infancy to young manhood in their midst and they know of what stuff he is made of and therefore have every confidence in him and will give him a large vote on the 26th. Remember on the day of the Primary Election that W. Boyd Evans, Candidate for Railroad Commissioner, is the man to vote for. Unanimously endorsed by the Democratic Convention of Marion, his own county, and by his people who know him well. Strong in intellect, courageous in the discharge of duty and of uncompromising integrity he is in every way qualified to guard the interest of the people should he be given the office. Vote for him and you will make no mistake. Oar neighbor, the Record, bad better "shinny on its own side'' of the river and leave Lexington alone. When the people of Lexington need the advice of the Record they will ask for it and until they do 90 it is impertinent and entirely gratuitous for that paper to dip its bill inti our local affairs. Col. John S. Reynolds, of Winnsboro, but more recently of Columbia, has been appointed, librarian of the State supreme court, to succeed Thomas S. MoormaD, recently deceased. Col. Wm. Elliot, candidate for United States Senator, bas adopted an unique, if not effective, way of electioneering. He fcas bad printed his potograph and distributed them all over the State. Let every voter do bis full duty next Tuesday by going to the polls and voting for that grand old Christain gentleman, Dr. W. H. Tim merman. I DON'T WAIT.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: As some parties are circulating a ! rumor questioning my competency to discharge the duties of the office for which I am a candidate. I wish to state as a matter of information to the voters of Lexington county that I spent ten years of my life at school and I am proud to eay that I have been able to gain sufficient knowledge to fit me to perform ail the business that has come before wi:h entire satisfaction. I have b een a notary public for sometime and have had considerable experience in drawing land deeds and mortgages. I have also been a builder and contractor for several years and am now successfully engaged in merchandising and farming. I want it distinctly understood that I am running on my own merits and not on the demerits of my opponent, and while I am nothing but a poor country boy, raised on the farm, 3ti)l I have an ambition to rise in life and be of some service to my county and I am thankful to know that the people of old Lexington will never turn their back on a boy who has started at the bottom rung of the ladder and is trying to make his way up in life, and who wants to show to them that he is worthy of that for which he is seeking and asking for. All the promise I have to make tc the people is that if they honor me with the office it shall be my object to give them honest and faithful service, and I shall see to it that the interests of the widow and the orphan, as well as those of every one wbc has business with the office sbaJ have fair and courteous treatment, anc if I am elected I will exert everj nerve in me to prove true to ttu honor entrusted to me and at th< end of my term to bring back to th< people my commission as clean anc spotless as it was the day when ii was entrusted to me, and I will evei feel grateful for your support.
