Elsewhere in this issue we print a call by President McCartha of the Lexington County Rural Mail Carriers' Association, to all carriers in the county to meet in the court house on Saturday, May 30th. In addition to the carriers, a special invitation is extended to every postmaster in Lexington county to meet with the carriers on the above date. Hon. A. F. Lever, the idol of the Seventh congressional district, will address those who handle the mail, and this alone I should cause every postmaster and carrier in the county to take a day off. Hon. S. J. Leaphart, Lexington's popular and very efficient postmaster who is noted for his generous hospitality, and the genial carriers going out from Lexington, will welcome the visiting postmasters and carriers. A free barbecue dinner will | be served the visiting members of the association and a royal good time is in store for all who attend. Postmaster Leaphart is exceedingly anxious to have a representative gathering of postmasters on the above date. Many counties in South Carolina will vote upon the question of prohibition or county dispensary within the next few months. In some sec tions the sentiment against wmsxey selling, in any manner, is growing exceedingly strong. During the primary this summer let the voters select men for the senate and house who will stand by State prohibition until the heavens fall, if need be, and ere another year rolls by the whole State will have a prohibition law. Until the people vote for men, who in turn will vote for prohibition in the legislature, just so long will we face these elections. Mr. S. H. Hardwick, general passenger agent of the Southern railway, has promised to place trains Nos. 133 and 134 back on the Columbia and Augusta Hne just as soon as the conditions will permit, and we believe the conditions will permit the service at an early date. We are obliged to believe that these trains can be run every day in the year with profit to the road, and we venture the belief that the Southern will take the same view and give the people of this section the needed schedule at an early day. Among the brightest young lawyers in the State is Capt. George R. Rembert, of Columbia. Mr. Rembert has entered the r^ce for Solicitor of the new fifth circuit, comprising the counties of Richland and Kershaw. He is a most capable young manstrong/ in personality, eloquent in ?r>Apnh. a thorough student, a deeD I y thinker and upright citizen. We trust that the voters of Richland and Kershaw will use their better judgment and make Rembert the prosecuting attorney of the fifth judicial circuit of South Carolina. The State Democratic Convention meets in Columbia to-day and a warm x fight over sending and instructed delegation to Denver, favoring William Jennings Bryan for President, is expected. Blind tiger booze is a scarce article in Ldxington county, if we are to iudge by the captures of the dispensary constable. The Sweet Girl Graduates with their Merry Widow hats are conspicuously beautiful now-a-days. Why don't The State and News and Courier agree to disagree and be done with it? We havent heard of any merry widow brides, have you? ;.N . fbeatrs Attractions. The little theatres in Columbia are now offering some of the finest attractions of the season. Take the little shows on the street, just as they come, and a better place for an evening of fun cannot be found. Each are managed by men of wide experience and they cater only to plays of a character that will appeal to the most refined. The patronage increases with each performance. Then there i9 the Peruchi-Gypzene Co., which opened for the season at Hyatt Park Casino more than a week ago. This company made a hit last season, and are more than sustaining their reputation now. Many Lexington people visit Columbia weekly and it is gratifying, indeed, to know that there are now places where they can enjoy an evening of fun at such a smal^co9t. Money to Lend. The First National Bank of Batesbnrg has money to lend to their farmer patrons who can furnish satisfactory security. "Tell your friends about it." IRA C. CARSON, Cashier. W. W. WATSON, President.

I l ] To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina, In announcing my candidacy for Railroad Commissioner in the primary this summer, I desire to express my ! deep appreciation for the vote I received two years ago, though it was not sufficient to elect me, yet I feel very grateful to all my friends for their efforts in my behalf. This year I again ask your support, believing that you now agree with me j that the commission most certainly j needs a man who has practical expe- j rience in the several branches of rail- j road service. While I have not been connected with ANY railroad in ANY j capacity since the last campaign, I have kept posted in all matters likely to come before the commission and I believe, if elected, I would be able to I serve the people and the State advantageously without inflicting undue hardships on the railroads. When you employ a man, good business judgment demands that you secure the services of the one most able and willing to perform the duties of the position. Would it not then be to your interest to "VOTE FOR A MAN OF EXPERIENCE"? / JAS. A. SUMMERSETT. Columbia, S. C., May 15, 1908. Farmer Sills Himself. W. M.
