CIRCULATION 2.300. A Crowning Honor. The crowning honor of our life, as ? we count it, came to us as a surprise last week, when the State Press asso eiation elected us an honorary life member. To be classed with snch men as Robert A. Thompson, sole surviving signer of the ordinance of secession: with Charles Petty, the' sage and philosopher; with Calvin Hemphill, whose knightly pen is as clean and true as was the lance of the Crusader; with N. G. Osteen and G. M. Harm an, who have gloriously illustrated South Carolina purity and patriotism far from the madding crouds ignoble strife for gain, is an honor well worth all the wear and worry and broken hopes of the almost 35 years that we have tried to keep the faith.? Barnwell People. Yes, Brother Holmes; it is an honor indeed to be chosen a life member of the South Carolina Press Association, in the organization of which we took an active part. It will help to create new enthusiasm and cause U9 to strive harder to live up to the high and no- | inpiftia which it represents. The association today is made up largely j of those who followed in cror footsteps?a younger generation?and to them, too, it should serve as an inspiration. We appreciate the honor and hope to meet with the boys of the fourth estate on the Isle of Palms next year. t , i It is indeed a pleasure to note that i Congressman A. F/Lever, of Lexington, is to be returned to Washington without opposition. Mr. Lever has made an enviable recovd?a record that no other man has e\ or made who has been elected from the Seventh District of South Carolina?and the people are showing their appreciation j of his splendid eff s in their behalf. We Are als^ i.Iad that another Lexingtonian i . > be chosen again without opp^ Our own fellowtownsman, ... George Bell Timmermau, the h-iMiaut and able solicitor of the E " .u Circuit, will be elected to hi i term unopposed. Mr. Timme-m a is one of the youngest solicitor. .-l the State, but South Carolina has never had a more able prosecuting attorney. Mr. Timmerman's popularity is best shown by the fact - * 1. 3 i.* ^ that he has never naa opposition sinoe his first election eight years ago. "John T. Duncan also spoke,'> is abont all the space that the third candidate for the governorship receives from the daily press these days. But then Mr. Duncan has an advantage over the other candidates?he has a paper of his own and can report his own speeches. And they say it is no trouble to get a square meal in Columbia now, since Lexington County vegetables and yaller-leg chickens are plentiful. Lexington County blackberries make the very finest pies. A few more days and Columbia merchants will be advertising "Fresh J&rington County Watermelons." ? Those Columbian's who have never attended a Lexington barbecue don't know what a square meal is. Lexington county girls make the ?est of wives. FOURTH JULY EXCURSION -VIA ? SOUTHERN RAILWAY PREIMER CARRIER of the SOUTH.

IfcSULfS THAT i REMAIN Are appreciated by Lexington people. thousands who suffer from backac le and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finding only temporary benefit. This is discouraging, but there is one kidney medicine thEit has earned a reputation for lasting results and there is plenty of proof of its merit right here in Lexington. Here is the testimony of one who us8d Doan's Kidney Pills years ago, and now makes his testimony even stronger. George B. Lee, Factory Hill, Lexington, S. C., says: "I still think highly of Doan's Kidney Pills and confirm all I said in their praise in J 908. I suffered from attacks of kidney complaint for many years and Doan's Kidney Pills, which I procured from the Kaufmann Drag Co., were the first remedy that helped me. I shall always recommend then when I have an opportunity." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
