County politics are waxing warm. "Wherever you go its all the talk. It is thought that congress will be ready to adjourn by May 25th. The Southern Railway will greatly increase its profits by having trains !Nos. 133 and 13-1 placed back on its Columbia and Augusta line. "If the newspapers who are opposed to Bryan want to get the next strongest Democrat why don't they select Senator Tillman. Ben Tillman is certainlv a stronger man than John Johnson."?Anderson Intelligencer. Pretty good suggestion. In appointing Gen. Wilie Jones in , his place as member of the national Democratic executive committee, Senator Tillman displayed his usual srood iudement. The Senator will ' sail for Europe sometime this month, which will prevent him from attending the Denver convention. J The astounding fact that Columbia merchants fail to appreciate the value " of a boat line, is disappointing to ' those who have watched that city's growth during the past few years. It < is hoped that her merchants will wake ( up to the importance of the situation and give the boat line such patronage ] in the future as will guarantee its continuance. The county campaign, which bids j fair to be the most interesting in re- j cent years, will soon open and if you ; > are not already a subscribei to The J Dispatch you should become one at t once. The Dispatch will print all the news, just as it is, as the campaign progresses, and we will do this in a fair and impartial manner. If you . want to know what is going on in the k . county campaign join The Dispatch . band-wagon at once. ^ We are glad to know that the pec- * pie all along the line are taking active step9 to have the Southern railway replace passenger trains Nos. 133 and 134 on its main line between . Columbia and Augusta. The need of fi these trains is growing more appar- I ent every day, and we believe that I ; such overwhelming influence will be brontjht to bear upon the manage- e menfc ol the road as to cause them to i4<*ve these trains pet on at an early a date. We hope so, at any rate. ? < r The Peruchi-Gypzene company opened the season at the Hyatt Park G Casino, in Columbia, on Monday f< night. This is the same troupe that so fi completely captivated the theatre- S going public of Columbia last season, rt and it goes without saying that the season of 1908 will be a record-breaker ?( in point of attendance. Mr. Peruchi and Miss Gypzene are two of the finest performers on the American stage and the management of the Hyatt Casino are to be congratulated upon securing them for the entire-season. ^ Notice. We will take Cotton Seed in ex- o change for Hulls and Meal and also buy h for cash, until May 20tb, 1908. S Little Mountain Old Mill & Fertilizer p; Co., J. B.
