For card9 of candidates for mayor
in the coming municipal election we
will charge $2.00 each and for aldermen
$1.00 each, the cards to run until
the election.
lir-V .
It is evident now that either.Franch
H. Weston, of Columbia or J. William
Thurmond, of Edgefield, will be the
next district attorney for South Carolina,
since an agreement *has been
reached between United States Senators
Smith and Tillman to, confirm
either of these gentlemen]Jthe President
names and will not take a third
party. It i9 definitely giyen out that
none other than these gentlemen will
be confirmed to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Ernest Cockran,
of Anderson.
Interest in the ensuing municipal
election of Columbia is slowly bobbing
up. Mayor Wade Hampton Gibbes
has announced that he will be a candidate
to succeed himself. Allow us to
say, from this side of the river, that
Mayor Gibbes has made an estimable
public servant, and has waisted neither
time or energy in the discharge of his
duties. During his tenure in office
great improvements and whatever denotes
discreet judgement is in evidence.
He has made a fearless and
conservative officer and likewise the
corps of officers under his administration
has enforced the law vigorously
for a ''closed town." He stands for
the "common good" of the city and
the citizens of Columbia will make no
mistake in the reelection of Mayor
Gibbes, and by so doing, let tne gooa
work be continued. Chief-of-Police
Catncart, Lieutenant Swearengen and
the whole force are robust, fearless
and intelligent men and would do
credit to any city.

BEST AND BIGGEST FAIR.
We are indeed proud of the enviable
record Lexington county has made
along progressive agricultural lines.
Exhibits of which and county could
feel proud are being prepared by the
citizens of almost every section for the
county fair, which opens Tuesday,
October 21st, and la9ts three days.
The premium lists have just been
finished and the officers of the association
are distributing them among the
constituents of the fair. It contains
a large number of valuable premiums
to be paid in cash to field crop, horse,
mule, cattle, swine, sh^ep, goat, floral,
household, needle and fancy work and
nthftr pxhibits. A new feature of the
association this year is a large list of
special premiums offered for exhibits
in the various departments. Our citizens
seem to be more enthused in the
fair than heretofore and it is obvious,
from the preparation now under way,
that it will be the biggest and best this
year since its matriculation.
From the exhibits of our county fair
the officers will pick out exhibits for
the State fair. And there is no reason
why Lexington should not carry off
a number of the best prizes. Last year
the first and second prizes for an agricultural
exhioit were carried off by
Lexingtonians. The prizes have been
raised for the coming fair. Capital
premium for the best county display
is $500, second $300 and third $200.
Capital premium for any one exhibit
~ -i s\r\ *.i_ iT'TA ^ A
IS $10U, second ?1W, lUUU -^v auu.
fourth $25.
Our county fair association has always
made an entry at the State iair
and has been commended on the displays.
It has already been entered
for the next fair. We have the climate
and the most fertile soil in this
section of the country, and it is more
than pleasure to live in this land of
natural and developed thrift, peace
and gentle sunshine. In this county
we can produce almost anything that
springs from the soil and we have the
men with the brain to do the rest.
This is the simple reason for our contention
that her past record will be
sustained, and probably better this
year.
Those wishing to make contributions
to the county exhibit or wishing information
pertaining to the exhibit should
write to Col. G. Baylis Wingard, Lexington,
S. C.
Mrs. Dodie Mitchell and daughter,
Miss Cecil, are visiting their brother
and uncle here, Mr. Scott Hendrix.

Thoughts of Mother.
Years and years ago, we are afraid
to say how many?when the breezes
crept in under the lowhangmg branches
and the graceful elm swept the
roof of the old home with a loving
embrace, when the odors of the cherry
and apple blossoms were wafted in
from the little orchard near by, we
remember the peep, dark shadows
under the roug 1 old oak and the soft
lights through the white curtained
j windows, the pleasant rooms, tne
: music and mother, who laughed over
I our baby antics, grew proud of boyish
triumphs, how her sad heart beat
when we left the home fold to win
our way in the world, the mother
whose hair grew gray in her care for
us, whose heart humbled by the multitude
of her prayers in our behalf,
whose face grew more tender as the =
years marked their progress upon her |
cheeks, whose steps faltered and
whose hands trembled because her
buoyancy has been given freely in our
behalf. The mother who stayed in
the old home while we were far away.
There came at last a letter in another
hand, and dear old moth? r was at rest.
Then we went home, but the old-time j
home was gone forever. Ah, we know j
how trivial everything then seemed i
beside mother's love.
We know how a kind word would
have cheered her heart. We know
how business cares crowded out the
] home letters; and how mother watched
; and waited for the tardy missive. We |
know how her heart bled for an old- j
! time caress, and how she went to rest j
! with a prayer on her lips for us. Re- I
i member mother, boys, before it is too
. late?you have yet time to sh_w your
I appreciation of her love. See liar
j hair, it i9 white as snow, and it has
been bleached by care of you. Watch
j her. Show her your love. Court her
' as you would a sweetheart, if you
| would make her happy. All too soon
this mother will be gone.?Reform, j
