Is it reasonable that we would let our interest suffer to the extent of letting; any one sell the same thing one cent cheaper than we would-here in the city or anywhere else-if vre were aware of it ? We have as good buy ing facilities as any one, as good celling facilities as any one, and, as a matter of common sense, se!? as cheaply as any one.

The election which was ordered to be held in Donalds Township on the question of annexation to Anderson County has again been postponed on account of technicalities. The Govern or ordered an election some time ago, but the Commissioners of Abbeville j refused to provide for holding it, be cause they never received notice of thc election in time to advertise it accord I ing to law, because the boundaries were not defined in the proclamation and because no place to hold the elec tion had been appointed. A proclama tion will be issued ordering the election for July 6th, and an eniwavor will be made to meet all tb.?- objections men tioned. The Commissioners have to appoint a place for voting. An exchange is responsible for this : "Third notice. Every editor has re ceived them. The postmaster sends them to the editor. The postmaster is not to blame. For instance there was a man by the name of-well, say Tim Short, who sent us three notices to stop his paper, he did not want it any lon ger. We wondered what was the mat ter. Upon investigating our subscrip tion book we found Tim was $2.50 short. He'never paid a eent, and yet he. stopped his paper as a matter of economy to us. A few evenings ago we stepped into Church and Tim's mclodiou? voice rang out so loud and clear in that old soul stirring song, 'Jesus Paid it All.' He might have been mistaken, but his earnestness im pressed us. The next day we sent him a receipt in fuD, begging his pardon for not knowing that he had made an assignment of his liabilities to the Lord." "-m-*. - POR H KNT OR SALK 7-room residence on .
