For tho ensuing term thc county will, and must, toa large extent, b0 judged by the offi cers wo elect to exercise rule over and represent lt. No people ever rise a hove the lovel of those who lead them. Wo trust, therefore, thr.t the 'good people of Oconce county will hu ry all past differences and rise to tile point of patriotism which will induce them to elect without regard to personal preference; that each Will feel that the ballot ls a sacred trust, to bo used for the very best interest of the people at. largo. Every ofTife Is an Important''one, but the man v.iio holds lt becomes moro Im portant to the mass of people. Extra\lgance and graft have run rife In this State of late, and the only way to remedy this evil ls to elect efficient/and honest men to office.

South Carolina's Delegation Compos ed of Honorable Men. Columbia, May ?.-Senator Till man is still as much opposed to the idea of instructing delegates as he has ever been. He now thinks it Will make but little material differ ence in the result, but on a general principle he ls opposed to Instructing delegates from South Carolina be cause he thinks the delegates from this State will be men who can ab solutely be trusted. lt ls his argument that If the dele gates from this State ware men who were under the domination or con trol of a "boss," or if they were men who could be bought or im properly influenced, then lt would he all right to have Instructed delegates, but with such delegations as are sent from this State he thinks it alto gether wrong to send Instructed del egates. It Is his opinion that Mr. Bryan Will bP nominated, and he ls strongly of the opinion that Mr. Bryan will be elected unless Roosevelt should be renominated. He thinks Mr. Bryan can heat any other man than Roosevelt, In the Republican party, and If the Democrats could get a Cleveland-not Mr. Cleveland In per son, but a man who stood for the name things and could command the support that Cleveland does-"lt would be a shame to take the ?noney."

The Story of Parker's Famous "Gold Telegram" Will be Revived. New York, May 9.-The astonish ing information has been received in some exclusive Democratic circles here that Judge Alton B. Parker is prepariug to 'announce himself, or have his friends make the announce ment for him, that he will be a candi date for the nomination before the Denver convention. lt ls said that a flood of literature ls being prepared, the effect of which, lt ls hoped, will be to turn Demo cratic thought once more in the di rection ot the sage of Esopus. Just why Judge Parker's name should be brought out at this late day cannot be satisfactorily ex plained by those who have endeav ored on their own account to solve the problem. But that lt ls to be done seems a certainty, and it is the impression among the few who have learned of this secret, that the t. lends of Judge Parker hope through the mere revival of tho story of his famous "gold" telegram to the convention of 1904 and a eulogy of the man, to center Democratic attention upon him to the end that his nomination may be brought about if Bryan does not dominate the convention from the very outset. With regard to Judge Gray and others, who have been named from the East, lt ls claimed they will not be supported by Western Demo crats because they refused to support Bryan In 189fi. Judge Parker did support Bryan, and If Bryan cannot win the nomination this time he might be persuaded to throw his strength to Parker. At all events, the former candidate ls to be brought Into publicity as an available man. From Pleasant Grove. Pleasant Grove, May ll.-Special: J. A. Harbert lost a good milch cow recently. Rev. Thos.
