The Lexington liispa ch. Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. G. M. Harman, Editor and Publisher.

The politician hunting a job and the politician after he has secured the job are as much unlike as daylight and darkness. Pledges and platforms seem made to get in on; and to break them in violating of a compact with ttrh people does not seem to worry the ordinary individual who by hook or crook gets in.; The people remember Supt. Martin's campaign pledges, so often repeated, that under no circumstances would he allow more than one-third of the text books to be changed at any one time. It was this solemn pledge to the people that defeated McMahan. Our people cannot understand why the State board of education repudiated this pledge and made such changes * - 4-hT.a in our text dooks at one scuwug, Oil UO I according to Supt. Martin's own statement in the campaign with McMahan, placing a burden of $250,000^00 the people of the State. The expense of purchasing new books is no small item. The books cost more, in many instances, than the tuition is worth, and hence the : injustice in loading up the people with these too frequent changes, often with $ books no better than those in use, and indeed some they supplant are superior to the new adoption. .Senator Tillman spoke yesterday at Fairview, Saluda county, part of his original hearth, to nearly one thou; sand people. It is said the fine Saluda crops or the fresh country air had put the Senator in excellent humor, and all the Yvorld apparently, and consequently his speech contained less gall , than usual. 4'He did not cuss Lyon and even admitted the good work of the investigating committee, adding however, that they had stopped 'when they had their hand9 on the scoundrels.' He j confessed that the trork of the com- | mittee showed dishonesty and corruption in the dispensary management. 4'He advised that the voters ascertain how every candidate for office stood on the dispensary question and if he does not represent his views leave him at home." -He was well received and was fret:': quently applauded. The congressional candidates spoke there too. G. Wash Hunter, who shot and instantly killed Elbert F. Copeland over the card table Thursday morning near Goldville, Laurens county, surrendered to the sheriff at Laurens last Saturday. He is greatly distressed over the killing and declares he would not have committed the deed for any'tVi *? on. Olllllg ill UliC WV/l 1U) axiu vmuuvv uv qount for his act. He gave $2,000 bail before Justice Pope and was released. Bishopville, Lee coupty, it is said, honored the State campaigners yesterday with the largest crowd that has yet attended a political meeting. It is estimated that there were 1,500 persons present, and the crowd all good natured. The crops there are said to be fairly good, much better than in other counties. * The Methodists at the Rock Hill -district conference Saturday passed strong resolutions condemning the dispensary and calls upon the brethren in emphatic language to rise up and crush the monster evil?liquor traffic?from our State. Mr. 0. D. Seay Declines. I On account of continued poor health. I shall have to withdraw from the face for superintendent of education. The reason for the delay of my withdrawal wras the hope that each day would bring about an improvement in my condition, but to my sin- | cere regret it has not come. If in any part of this affair I shall seem to any of my fellow citizens to have erred I want them all to knowr that I j was acting, as I thought, in such a | manner as would best conserve the interest of all the citizenship of my native county, Lexington. I Hoping that the all-wise providence has in store shall redound to the entire constituency of Lexington county, I shall ever remain, Your most humble fellow-citizen, O. D. Seay.
