KARL F. OSWALD, Owner. . ? . <, 2Sr. Harrison Promoted. Mr. Frank E. Harrison, who has ? been the very efficient and popular depot agent at this place for the last several months, has been promoted to the very important position of rate clerk in the Southern's freight office in Colombia. Mr. Harrison is just 20 years old and has been connected 'with the Southern for about three years. Since coming to Lexington, Mr. Harrison has endeared himself to all by his gentlemanly bearing, and if-, ie o-onPTaliv resetted that he is to *" leave. ------Mr. Martins Card. ^ To The Democratic Voters of Lex " ington county: .You will recall to mind that the Hon. D. F. Efird called the Executive Committee together to fill the vacancy in the office of Superintendant . of Eaucation, caused by the death of Mr. Farr. Pursuant to this call the . committee met here on the 21st day of September, 1908, and declared me the nominee of the party by a vote of r . 17 to 9. From the action of the committee no one appealed to the State Executive committee and said committee 1J lAnniVA* fn noqo nnnn WSS 110t uttuuvi Lu^uuicx uv w|/v?* .. the matter, but Col. WiUe Jones, chairman of the State Executive Committee, declared that he would not put my name on the tickets in the v -' - general eleetion. So, Hon. D. F. Efird was asked to call the County Executive committee together again . to dispose of the matter. In view of this fact the committee was notified ^ to meet on Oct. 10, 1908, and did so, .At this meeting the committee by a vote of 14 to 9 refused to put the matter in the general election open to all prospective candidates. This was practically a ratification of their former action and I was still left the .... nominee of the party. . Now, since the committee twice de dared me the nominee of the party, I regard myself as such and hope that all democratic voters of the county will look upon me as such on Tuesday, the 3rd day of November, 1908. I regard the action of the committee as supreme in a matter like this, L ii^onin the works of the democratic ~ -^'party, unless they violated a law of > said party. I suppose they saw where * they violated no law of the party and it was not established to them by the ' regular procedure in such cases made and provided tnaii mere was any xaw prohibiting what they had done. I make this statement in justice to myself and the committee, and can only say thar I shall ever be grateful to the committee for bestowing upon me Such an honor. In connection with this I would like to say that I have paid the democratic party the regu* lar assessment, fifteen dollars, and fifty per cent of this amount since I was declared the nominee of the party. Besides, I have otherwise Complied with all rules of the party in every particular. I think I have stated all facts in the matter and I have done so, because I v owe this much to myself and the peo nle of the countv. They should know where I stand and how to regard anyone who should oppose me in the general election. ^ I have nothing further to say than that I am grateful to the voters of Xexington county for the handsome vote given me on the 25th day of August, 1908. >. A. D. MARTIN. ICr. Lybrand-Will Bun. To the Citizens of Lexington county: Rev. Mr. E. L. Lybrand has consented to enter the race for the office of Superintendant of Education of Lexington county. While I am sure that Mr. Lybrand needs no introduc% tion to the citizens of Lexington county, I beg leave to say a word about his eminent qualifications for that office. His whole life's occupaOOLAA! THArlr UUU Utt9 UCOli puipili anu ovuuvi n vi Both are educational and it seems to zne go hand in hand. Digressing a little, it occurs to my mind that a progressive minister of the gospel is particularly equipped for the duties of the office of Superintendant of Education. Rev. Mr. Arthur Buist held that office iu Barnwell county for ten or twelve years. Mr. Lybrand is rich in lessons of K close ooservation and years of experience, both of which are valuable |p% feed for a trained and assimilative mind. I have been impressed with his aptitude for making the best of things and making things the best. His trained head and heart and sound sense make him nothing less than an esteemed, kind and cultured gentleman. In brief, his progressive spirit always permeated with an earnest J A? ? ??? ? kio desire U) dUVilUUC cue iu\jrrx gou ui mo fellow man wins for him the worthiness of our suffrage and at the same time affords us the opportunity to mak? an admirable choice. Personally, we of this section take a pride in offering to the public so worthy a candidate for so important an office. Besides, since Batesburg, Leesville, Lexington, and the Fork ! sections all have representatives in one office or another, we do not think! _ all else being equal, that we are ask, ing too much when we suggest that you let that fact have its weight. Mr. Lybrand has come out entirely in accord with the democratic rules L*/ J and regulations and we are confident f that he will measure up to the approval of a democratic people if given a trial. Very respectfully, L. S. TROTTI. New Brooklandi S, C. M. L. KINA 1523 Main St. County Fair a Success. The 12th annual fair of the Lexington County Fair association came to a close on Thursday. In point of exhibits this was by far the most successful fair yet held. The attendance fell a little short of last year, but on the whole, the attendance was all that could be desired. Thephorse and cattle departments were the best ever seen at the county f~'~ *'???'?? Ann animals TXTOTA flhftWTI Mill lYJ.au J line ammuiu ? -.? and the premiums were awarded by that prince of horse judges, Mr. R. D. Zimmerman of St. Matthews. Mr. Zimmerman awarded the premiums last year and there has never been any dissatisfaction caused by his decisions. The household department presented many and varied exhibits, and the ladies received many congratulations upon the excellent showing made. The field crop display was good. We have all heard that this has been a bad crop year for Lexington farmers, but those who took a look at the farm products exhibited last week, are of the opinion that that statement has been nothing short of an idle dream. The floral exhibits were exceedingly fine. Some of the finest flowers ever shown were seen at the fair. But the most excellent of all the exhibits was that of the Rikard Kniti ting Co., who had two of their machines on the grounds. This company was recently organized with Mr. J. J. Rikard as president, and Capt. L. W. Redd secretary and treasurer. Two machines were running every day at the fair and the number of 1-.? t?yv infr> f.VimiaanHfl. BUCH9 OU1U icav/iii/u u^/ iuw This was one of the best arranged of all the exhibits and attracted no little attention. Mr. W. P. Roof had a fine display of buggies, harness, farming implements, etc. The finest apples ever seen anywhere were shown. - Really, it could not be believed that such apples could be grown in this county. The apples shown here will be at the State Fair this week, and it goes without saying that the owners will carry off the premiums. The managers of the association will begin at once to prepare for the fair next year and many new features are to be added all of which will make the county fair of 1909 the best county fair in South Carolina. Jammed at the Doors. That's the daily situation at the big sale of the Famous Clothing Co's immense stock, 1554, Main street, Columbia, S.

Never before in the history of Columbia's mercantile houses have high grade clothing, shoes, hats and gent's furnishings been sold at such ridiculously low prices, but there's a reason. The stocks are doomed and must go with a rush. Not a single item is held back. Thousands of dollars worth of the highest class merchandise is on sale and being sold at figures for below the first cost of production.
