CUMULATION 2.325.
It i9 sincerely hoped that the rally
It eld here on Monday will create a
more lively interest in the educational
system*of the county. There is nothing
that should appeal to our people
more.
We were glad to see Brother Foo9he,
the able editor of the Winnsboro
News and Herald, while he was here
attending the educational rally on
Monday. Mr. Fooshe gets out one of
the best weeklies in the State, and is
deservedly popular with the people.
Mr. A Davidson, representing the
Augusta Herald, 9pent last Thursday
in Lexington in the interest of his
paper. The Herald on Monday had a
catchy writeup of the town, with a
number of scenes, by Mr. Davidson.
The Herald is a good afternoon paper
and is deserving of the large amount
of patronage it is receiving in South
Carolina.
In many of the counties which recently
voted out the dispensaries, law
and order leagues have already been
organized for the purpose of enforcing
the prohibition law. Doubtless
the same course will be pursued in
this county a little later. Now that
the majority has voted for prohibition
the people should see to it that the
law is enforced.
On Saturday a reunion of Mosby's
riders, was held at Front Royal, Va.,
under the auspices of the Warren
Memorial association. Doubtless many
of our soldiers will recall this famous
cavalryman while in the Vally of Va.,
and while on the field of battle. We
remembar foil well Mosby's successfull
dash into the federal lines at
Berryville, carr i ig out a number of
prisoners, and at other times he was
valuable to our commands.
Fifeen thousdand people attended
the re-union of the survivors of the
"Red Shirt wearers in the Hampton
campaign, in Anderson on Wednesday.
Four thousand men and ladies I
wearing red shirts, some mounted and
others on foot, formed the parade
which was more than a mile long.
JSx-Gov. John C. Sheppard, of Edgefield,
and Senator Tillman addressed <
mere than five thousand persons. The
speech of Senator Tillman was re<
ceived with storms of applause, and he
spoke with all of his old-time vigor,
and for nearly two hours the Senator
held the undivided attention of the
mighty throng. This wa9 the first
State re-union of the Red Shirt wearers
ever heid, and it was an entire
auccess. '
In this issue we print an advertisement
of the Standard Warehouse Co.,
-of Columbia, of which that prince of
good men, Mr. T. B. Stackhouse, is
the president. This company has arranged
to loan farmers money on cotton
stored in the Standard Warehouse
-at the very low rate of 6 per cent.
This should enable every farmer in
the State to sell his cotton just as he
-sees fit, and at the same time secure
sufficient funds to carry on his work.
If the price does not suit you, just deposit
your cotton with this wellknown
firm, where it will be 9afe and insured
against fire. This i9 by far safer than
lb 111 y uui wi_i ui uuu lu. luc
weather as it will lo9e mu ch of its
weight. This company is absolutely
reliable and can be depended upon to (
do what its officers claim.
Mr. Stackhouse, together with Mr. 1
L. W. Parker, of Greenville, has
just returned from New York,
where arrangements were perfected
to secure all the funds necessary
to carry out the plans of the
' company. The very low rate of six
, per cent, was secured by these gentle
men, and they are willing to give I
their customers the benefit of their
efforts. If you do not wish to sell
your cotton now, confer with the ,
Standard Warehouse Co., and they 1
will gladlj take care of it for you. 1
A postal is all that is necessary. Bet
a ier make inquiry today. (
Pay Up Now. <
During the last ^ eek a lot of new
cotton has been sold on this market
at prices ranging from 12 to 12 1-4 cts.
The gins are running regularly now
in'most sections of the county and
throughout the state. The farmers
.are selling and we want to remind
those who ara in arrears for this pa
per to come forward and pay up. We
have solemn obligations to meet in
side of the next thirty days and we
earnestly hope that our subscribers
will help us. You may think that a
dollar is a little bit, but where you
Vhave several hundred of them it
; amounts to a great deal in the aggregate.
We never mind carrying subscriptions
through the summer
months, but when the fall of the year
comes we must have our money. If
you are not going to sell your cotton
now we ask that you make arrangements
whereby we may get our dues.
Thanks, in advance.

The Election Expenses.
According to an estimate issued by
Comptroller General Jones, the recent
election will C09t the State approximately
$6,500. Of this amount over
?2,500 was paid for advertising the
election in the papers of the 21 counties
in which the election was held,
the remainder going to the managei s
and commissioners of election.
The legislation did not make any 1
provision at its last session to defray (
the expenses of the election and consequently
funds will have to be appropriated
at the next session.
Negroes Voted For Whiskey, j
St.Matthews,?The county election 5
commissioners met and canvassed the j
vote of last Tuesday and declared the ?
vote in favor of prohibition by a major- (
ity of 23 votes. This majority would f
have been larger but for the negro vote j
which with three exceptions was solid
for whiskey.
Some whiskey has been shipped in '
since the election, mostly by negroes,
but the officers of the law aided by
the earnest prohibitionists have given
the tigers a warning that prohibition ?

I v ish to extend to my neighbors
and friends my most sincere ar d heart
felt thanks for their kindness shov n
my wife and self during her long illness.
May God's richest blessing rest
upon them all is our earnest prayer.
J. Ar;hir Hirman.
The reason a man likes to travel is
some other liar made him think it was
the thing to do.
The only safe way for a man to escape
marrying a determined girl is for
him to be married already.
Many a man 18 the moving picture
of an unpaid tailor bill.
Woman thinks she will be man's
superior when she gets her rights.
And occasionally a man throws off
trouble by putting on a bold front.
Some men would never practice selfdenial
if they couldn't boast about it.
The trouble is that when a man tries
to forget a woman she won't let him.
