Last week the Southern Railway Inaugurated a through Pullman ser vice from Charleston to Walhalla. '1 ids ls a vast improvement over any similar service over glvon us from the deaboard to the mountains. The fact that lt ls now of fo 'co, however, ls not the whole of HIP story. We have the assurance that If the Pull man service ns operated at present three trips a week-ls sufficiently appreciated and liberally patronized, the Southern will Inaugurate a dally service between Charelston and Wal halla. As at present scheduled this Pullman car leaves Charleston at 3.20 in the morning on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and leaves Walhalla at 3.27 in the afternoon on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. This service gives comfortable and pleasant accommodation between Walhalla and Charleston, and Inter mediate points, three times a week each way. Now that we have rec )lvod this consideration nt the hands of the Southern, let us not sit idly by and see lt dwindle to nothing and lose lt by .nek of patronage. Rather boost it for everything lt is worth-and lt is worth much-until we are given the regular dally service each way. If you take a trip to the lower part of the State, patronize the Pull man service; if you have friends coming this way. advise them of the service, and request them to take ad vantage of lt. How much Walhalla has lost In the past by reason of Inadequate . rail way service can never be estimated until by using the new service we see Its benefits and estimate what we have lost In the past by not having a service that tho traveling public could appreciate and would patron ize. Patronize the new service yourself and solicit the patronage of others. In doing so you will assist materially in the upbuilding of this point as a resort for the people of the low country during tho summer months at least, and In paving the way for travel from the frozen North In the winter. Wulhaila's climate Is such ns to make this point sought after the year through by the resi dents North and South. ..THE REAL HR YAN." We are In receipt of a neat little volume, "The Real Bryan," sent us by the publishers, tho Personal Help Publishing Company, Doe Moines, Iowa. The volume is not only very neatly and well gotten up, but be tween the two covers there are con tained many interesting and instruct ive facts concerning the private and political life of the popular Nebras kan. All phases of the coming cam paign are touched upon briefly from Mr. Bryan's standpoint, numerous lit eral quotations from his written and Bpoken opinions being used. Alto gether lt ls a very comprehensive, interesting and valuable book, and one that will bear careful reading and close study. Tho price of the hook is $1.25, and it is sold hy mall or subscrip tion. _ NEW REGISTRATION. Attention of voters ls called to the provisions of tho now registration law as construed hy Attorney General Lyon, and published elsewhore In this issue. Look up your registration cer tificates and see what the law re quires you to do. and then comply with the requirements, The county registration hooks were opened at tho Court House July 1st, and will remain open every day (Sundays excepted) during this month and August for the purpose of ro-enrolllng and rc-registerlng of voters in this county. During tho month of September the Registration Hoard will appoint a day in each township In the county, notice of which will be given later, for the fur ther accommodation of the public In carrying out the provisions of tho law, which calls for re-enrollment and re-reglstratlon every ten years, computing from the year 18'J8 Don't neglect this matter. Tho Attorney General's construc tion of the law is a very strict one, I but one which, if complied with by 1 the voters, will eliminate the possi bility of any question whatever in . the matter. ! y CAMPAIGN , MEETINGS.

Next Tuesd?y the people of Wal halla will welcome the candidates for United States Senator and Congress man and for Solicitor. These gentle men are aspiring to high offices, Im portant offices, and they should be heard with deep thought and study. They will be here to tell you what principles they advocate and repre sent. Come out and give them a re spectful hearing. It is time that the people of the South should begin to take more interest in the matter of who shall represent them In the Sen ate and Congress of the United States. In national affairs the South has lost much of her prestige by sim ply not giving the proper thought and attention to her representatives In the two branches of the National Congress. It ls a duty we owe to ourselves and to our country that these matters should be thoughtfully considered, and our ballots should be cast independently of personal friendships and personal obligations. Tho ballot Is too sacred a trust to be lightly handled and carelessly cast. Attend the campaign meeting next Tuesday and hear what the candi dates for the United States Senate and Congress r.nd for Solicitor have to say. People from all over the county should attend If possible. Being requested by friends to go and spend the summer at a summer resort, Mr. Bryan replied, "I prefer to stay i.ear my alfalfa." All right, Bill, if you prefer; but don't go too far Into the high grass. You might lose your bearings and miss the White House. . * . * . William Randolph Hearst, of New York, announces that he has lost confidence In both Bryan and the Democratic party. Do tell! It has been four years now. "comin' next fall," since Bryan and the Democratic party lost confidence in Mr. Hearst. He's somewhat of a dead 'un. According to the disclosures being made by the Atlanta Georgian in con nection with the Georgia Prison Com mission, some of the intimate asso ciates of that body are in line for the regulation shaved head, gaudy stripes and a "serial number." Cracking rock ts a very appropriate finnie to a crooked career. Items from Ebeneser.

We can't ex pect to secure men to compete with these great corporation lawyers with out paying more than we do. and as a consequence we must put up with second-class men. Did you ever stop to think what is coming and. what soon we will have tb meet between the races? Take a few flares: Clem son College, with 700 boys, ls spend ing lu the neighborhood or $250,. OOO per year, while the negro college at Orangeburg, with 600 students, is spending $8,000 per year. With this State of affairs What will meet us tn the future? This may not be pleas ant to contemplate, but we had bet ter be considering and preparing to meet lt in the future. Wisdom calls for consideration. He had always been opposed to any compulsory edu. cation law because no man has the right to enter the home and dictate to the parent what he shall do with his child or what he shall do for lt. Wight years ago he began his fight against the lien law. Then only about twenty men were with him In the il KU.. He kept it up until last year,, when only about twenty men In the HeuBe were against him. The House passed a law of repeal, but the Senate defeated the act. Send who you will to the House this year, he said, and the bill will pass again to repeal the law. He was responsible for and due what credit there is attached to a reduction of one mill In the State levy. Three mills were asked for ordinary county purposes, and he ran his pen through lt and wrote two. (Hcre Mr. Verner's time expired and he was called down.) J. R. Earle said that from expres sions he had heard from one end of the county to the other his record in the, Senate meets endorsement. Talk about high taxes! The most oi the money demanded In thc coun ty ls for maintenance and repairs of oar roads and bridges. We demand good roads and substantial bridges, and If we get these we must pay for them. We can't have good roads nor substantial bridges without money, and we must raise that by taxation. The expenses of the State govern ment have never been as low as four hundred thousand dollars since Re publican times.. He opposed Immi gration. . We do not need the class of Immigrants that are being brought here by our present law. He had nothing to say as to who shall be the Clerk of Court. That is with you. Rut since he had been Senator a law had been passed fixing the salary of the Clerk at the bum of *. 1,320, and required him to pay all the balance of funds coming into his hands from fees Into the County Treasury, but this law was declared unconstitu tional. It is said that lt would be imposing an unjust tax to make a man pay more for his recording than the Clerk gets and pay the surplus Into the County Treasury. He did not think any one will suffer much from the 25 per cent of the fee he would pay into the County Treasury from his recording bill. (Here Mr. Earle was called down, his time hav ing expired.) After the candidates for the Gene ral Assembly had spoken the candi dates for County Superintendent of Education spoke in the following order: J. S. Colley, T. A. Smith. J. L. McWhorter, J. H. Cantrell and Wade C. Hughs. All these candidates made ten-minute speeches. Then Dr. G. C. Probst, John F. Craig and C. R. D. Burns, candidates for Clerk of Court, spoke. After this the county campaign meeting ended and the can didates for Solicitor spoke. Jost Exactly Right.
