Next Monday, March 18th, there will be an election held in Walhalla for the purpose of filling the office of Mayor. The importance of this election is prob ably greater than any similar election in the past, for the reason that Walhalla is larger to-day than ever before, tho Mayor is the servant of more people, and the duties and responsibilities of that office are inoreased. lint there ?B a duty and a responsibility resting upon each oitizen to-day, upon the proper disoharge of whioh depends almost solely the immediate future of the towns That duty is to stand squarely before the problem and solve it as your oonBoienoe dictate*, regardless of per sonal feelings, personal likes or dislikes -in other words, to elect the right kind of a man to the office of Mayor; one who Will do his duty as he sees it; one upon whom oensure or oritiolBtn on one hand or praise and (lattery on the other will have no influenoe save as an inoentive to strive for a fuller measure of servloe and duty well done. The Mayor should be a striotly sober man. He should be thoroughly alive to the interests of the town, practical, and ready to lead any movement for the to'vn's good. A man of firm conviction, yet lacking that quality too often mistaken for con viction-unreasoning prejudice. A man who, in bia official capacity, oan serve the whole people, yet know no man nor set of men. A man who is in position to give to the town the time necessary to look after ita interests-a man willing to sacrifice his personal convenience many times to servo his community ; for tho man who accepta the office sod does his duty will do so st s sacrifice ia mane respects. In short, it is tho duty, of the citizen to do his utmost to. elect ss the. oh lof ser vant of the town tbs man who possesses the best business qualifications, the most energy, and'bas the ability, the tact and the will to wort kt all times for t!.e best interests of Walhalla. To do thia, simply vote your convic tions. Vote for THB MAN-not the man you may like best aa a personal friend, nor against one whom you may personally dislike-but for the man you believe to be best able to serve the town. VOTE FOR THE GOOD OP WAL HALLA and the result will be satisfac tory? HERE, THERE AND YONDER. And now it looks l!ke the "real thing" in water works and eleotrio light*. The gontlomou named in the board of corpo rators for tho Walhalla Light and Water Co. represent nome $300,000 of capital, and with tho monoyed interests of tho 0 immunity in tho lead, thore ought to bo 1 iiinel hing doing. The annual report of City Clerk and Treasurer, Ceo. M. Ansel, shows the town's finances to ho in hottor shape now than for yearn. At tho close of the year 1000 tho treasurer had on hand $1,010.1X1 after having paid the current exponaos amounting to $:i,042.?f>. This shows tho treasurer to havo handled $5,869.46 aa tho revenue for 1808. Thia will doubtless ho iucroased considerably for 1007 hy reason of tho increased valua tion of real estate returned for taxation. V In the death of H. Y. H. Lowery, of Sonera, Oconee has hist one of her most substantial and houorod Citizens. He waa a man of high character, honest, honorable, a thorough, conscientious Christian, and wo mourn with our Histor town his death. The < 'oui HM baa ioat a friond-ono whom it delighted and felt honored to call a friend. A mau of largo mental and physical build, he was conspiouc :s and prominent in the affairs of this county, and bia loss will be felt throughout ita length and breadth. V Farm ami Factory (Soneca) does not agreo with UH that bachelors should be taxed and collared, or aa an alternativo impounded aud drowned, but advises that they be "shot on tho (bald) spot." it ls immaterial to us which ia dono. Whether drowned or shot (provided it is done thoroughly) tho ofTeot will ho tho same. The same paper advises also that thero are lots of nico girls in Soneca, and suggests "inter-urban alliance with Wal halla'* bachelors." Thore are plenty of the prettiest girls in the world right here in Walhalla, and now that those of Soneca are also tendered to our bache lors wo look for resulta. Which do you prefer, gentloraen-marriage, or death by drowning or shooting? Take your choice. V There is a good deal being said in tho pupers of the State, and no small amount of speculation is going on, about the re ported candidacy of Congressman A. P. Lever for State Senator to suooeed Hon. A. C. Larimer.- While Mr. Lever neither denies nor confirms the reports, still he sets the matter at test, for the present, et least, by the following announcement that appeared in the Columbia State: This is the second time that this same story has been seat from Washington to the press of the State. Last year, when the suggestion was made, I said I was not then a candidate for the United States Senate. As to this recent story. I wish to say that it is nearly ?18 months before the campaign for the United States Senate will open and no one oan tell what the situation will be at that time, and for the present I do not feel that I am oalled upon either to confirm or deny the suggestion of my proposed candidacy. When the time comes to aot I shall do so and my announcement will be made, if at all, to the people of South Carolina. ^^^^^^^ Rheumatic Pains Reliovod. B. F. Crocker, Esq., now 84 years of age, and for twenty years Justice of the Peaee at Martinsburg, Iowa, says: "I sm terribly afflicted with sciatic rheumatism in my left arm and right hip. I have used three bottles of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and it did roe ldts of good." For sale by Dr. J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. Robber Slain by His Dying Victim. Columbia, March 10.-C. B. Oreen, 45 years old and married, a ni ore h a nt of Shandon, ? suburb of this city, was way laid and killed last night by Edward Marshall, who himself was killed by Oreen. Robbery was the motive. The shooting ocourred about ll o'clock, but the bodies of the men were not discovered until about 8 o'clock this morning. When found, Green's olothing was on fire, his body being badly charred around the heart and side, where the bullets took Affect, and a roll of greenbacks was burned in twain. \ The feet of the men were lets than a foot apart, showing that they faced eaoh other when they were killed. At Green's right hand lay a 32-oaliber revolver, with four empty chambers. Near Marshall's right hand was a 41-oaliber six-shooter, witb five empty ohambers, while a 88 c al i bor pistol, which bad not been fired, waa at . his left hand, "nd sr his body waa a well-no ade leather scag-shot or sand bag, haviug i?o pounds of small shot in th'e end. Near his head lay two burglar's masks, one having two bullet holes in it, and waa clotted with blood. Marshall waa ahot twice through the head and once through the right breast, while Green had three bullets through his heart. Tho back of his hand waa covered with' blood, Indicating that he may have had a struggle with his assail ant. Several pieoep Cf silver were found scattered about Green's body. The finding of the two. masks and three hats leads to tho belief that Mar shall had an accomplice, but up to this time no arrests have been made. Marshall waa 24 years old, unmarked and the son < of the manager of the large department atore of J. L. Miinnangh, of this oity. The feet that Marshall bad a pistol in eaoh hand, it is hard to under stand how he was able to manipulate the sandbag. The tragedy has caused a great sensa tion in this oity. New Hops Dots.

Cars Jump Into a Pond. Warren, Pa., March 7.-Moro than a score of persons wore injured, nino of thom seriously, when two cars of train No. 33 on tho Western Now York divi sion of tho Pennsylvania railroad jumped tho track and plunged over a 25-foot em bankment, and, rolling over and over, landed wheels uppermost in a pond bo tween Irvington and this place. The earn in their deseont broke a natu ral gas main and as the bruisod and blooding passengers struggled out of the broken cars many foll unconscious from the gas fumes. It was a marvel that none of the passengers wore killed by the wreck of escaping gas. Tho wreck was blamed on tho failure to properly close a switch af tor a freight train had taken tho siding. Tho engine of the passenger train passed safely over the switch, but the first ooach jumped the rails and pluged over the embank ment, dragging tho second car after it.
