The Dispatch Late This Week The Dispatch gees to its readers late this week due to .the fact that we are publishing the tabulated statement of the vote cast in this county on Tuesday in both the state and county elections. We feel assured, however, that the people will bear with us, and, at the same time, will appreciate our efforts to give all the news while it is /novo God Calls Another. Carl A. Roof was born Dec. 24, 1885, - and died Aug. 17, 1914, Death does not always wait for old age, but often claims those jast entering *he prime of life. So it was with Carl, scarcely 28 years old, with a bright prospect of a useful r.nd happy life. Yet we bow in humble reverence and say, "Thy will be done." The XfOrd giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name cf the Lord." Carl was loved by every bne who .knew him, a noble son, a true husband; and as a father an example. He leaves a father, mother, two brothers, two sisters, a wife, and two small ^children, and an inestimable host of friends to sorrow for his early departure, npon all of whom may God's richest benediction rest.

Many of the county candidates accepted the invitation and were present at the barbecue here. The candidates present delivered 9hort speeches to a very attentive audience. Owing to the fact that the candidates do not usually accept inyitations to places of this kind, the crowd was not very large, however the day was enjoyed i by all present. Mr. Victor Roof, of Columbia, spent Sunday, August 15, at home with his parents and friends. We regret very much that Prof. C, G.

The writer wishes him a very speedy recovery. Miss Leila Strickling, of Swansea, spent a few days with Miss Ethel Laird last week. Miss Ethel Hutto, after spending more than two weeks with her relatives and friends at Edgewood, has returned home. Miss Hutto seems to be especially fond of Edgewood. I wonder why ? Could some one guess ? Miss Bertha Gardner, after a two weeks' visit to her relatives near here liae rp.f-nrnfid to hor home in Darlington. Miss Gardner, uuconscously by her charming manners, has made many friends here. She will always be welcome at Pelion. Mrs. W. E. Gardner and her two little girl?, of Darien, Georgia, after a short stay of two weeks with their relatives near here, has returned home. Mrs. Gardner has many friends and relatives here who greet her coming every summer. Mrs. L. W. Gardner spent two days last week with her 9iater, Mrs. M. N. Hutson, of Springfield. Mrs. Burges Able, of McBee, is spending a few days with her relatives ae&r here. Mrs. M. E. Tindal, of fteeses, spent a few days last week with her daughter, Mrs. L. W. Gardner. Well, Mr. Voter, how do you like the way the candidates stand today ? If they do not stand right whose fault is it? It has been said that people get what they deserve,.
