Not many weeks since it was tne
Editor's pleasure to visit and inspect
Colombia's magnificient waterworks,
with its up-to-date machinery and
ample facilities for supplying the city
with abundant water for all purposes.
- Last Sunday afternoon we witnessed
the prompt response of the fire department
to an alarm which, fortunately
r-wais found to be only a small
dilapidated negro cabin in the extreme
upper part of the city, and the
^ fire was extinguished with a bucket
of water before the department could
r \ r^ach the scene. , '
We w :re at the home of Mr. J.
Tally Harth, the very efficient and
popular electrician of the city, and he
- invited us to join him, and in less
, than five minutes run in his handsome
automobile we were on the spot. It
was indeed, surprising to see how
quick the firemen were on the ground
ready to perform their duty, but
it was a needless call, as the fire had
been extinguished. ?Iti, affords us
pleasure to give the Columbia fire department
deserved praise for their
ever ready and quick service, and for
the important part they take in the
Upbuilding of Greater Columbia.
It is indeed invigorafcpg and com*
forting to an overworked editor to
sometimes fall in good luck and relieve
his mind of the arduous duties
of newspaper work and turn his
thoughts to pleasure an? amusement.
This was our fortune on Sunday afternoon
when it was our privilege to be
in the hands of Mr. J. Tally Harth in 1
Columbia, and in company with his
father, and his estimable wife and ;
son, we took an automobile ride for
'f fen miles out in the country on the
\ Winnsboro road. The cool breeze
was bracing, and the trees just out in
their new foliage of green, the dogwood
and imaple blossoms, and the
beautiful wild flowers added much to
the pleasure and grandeur of the trip. (
We are certainly under lasting ob- 1
ligations to Mr. Harth, and our ride of
" Sunday afternoon will be long re- ^
membered.

It seems to us that the authorities ]
at Clemson should have pursued 3

sion of more than 300 students from
that institution for a simple April Fool

will injure the future usefulness of 1
this institution, yet we believe in ]

It is now Mayor Reamer. Mon- !
day morning Mr. T. Hasell Gibbs, for
n four year9 the progressive mayor of
Columbia, turned over the affairs of
the city to Mr. W. S. Reamer. We
trust that the new mayor's administration
will be as progressive as that 1
of his predecessor, and if he makes
half so good a mayor Columbia win i
Continue to grow as the green bay |

The management of the Lexington
County dispensaries are to be commended
for their action in ordering
all the dispensaries in the county
closed on Saturday and in keeping
them closed until after the trial yesterday.
As a result there were nc
* visible signs of drunkenness and everything
passed off quietly.

The political pot is beginning to
simmer, and a lively time is expected
this summer as the campaign waxes
warm, and the dear people will have
the pleasure and privilege of selecting
the best men for officers from
United States Senator down to coroner.
Just at this time, there seems to be
more interest in, "'who will be our
county officers," and some s.-em to
think there will be two sets of candidates?one
standing for local option
and the other for straight prohibition.
It may be too early in the. blaze of
the campaign to estimate how the
vote of the entire county stands respecting
these issues, but as to tinDutch
berk local option wiil win.
If rumor Las it correct, there wiil
be an admirably beautiful and exciting
race for cierk of the court between
t wo or Lexington's most popular
officials at present. There will

Up to a lat-e hour no one has heard
of an aspirant willing to commit political
suicide by pitting against our j
ever alert, lynx-eyed sheriff.
As to the other offices, we have
heard of no candidates, save the present
officials, and probably they will
go along with Sheriff Corley, reluct- |
antly to keep him from getting lone- I
some on a clear track. j
I had almost forgotten. Senator !
Efird is reported over our grape-vine j
telephone," as retired, and won't offer ?
for re-election. We all remember the
final contestants in the race when j
i Mr. Efird was last elected, and with }
what becoming grace his opponent j
accepted the result. Now7, in just }
recognition of past services to his
county and State, ably representing j;
his people for several years in both
houses, many voters are hoping for
him a clear track. We have reference
