SULLIVAN Who has been Mayor for two terms -*sd is the present Mayor-aod who has never been defeated. He is . can didato for Railroad Oommissioner and his chaoces for election are flattering. Hon. James sf. Salli van is an hon ored and distinguished son of Ander son County, and the citizens of the County are manifesting Terr great in terest in bis race for Railroad Com missioner. Thia, br the way, ie a high ly Important ofite?, one that vitally affecta the in tore* ta of ol ti sens in every part of the State; and with men of tho intellectual ability and on swerving honesty of Mr. Sullivan as Commissioner? the people of the State 1 would eeas? te regard the Commission aa has been the ease too much in the past, aa a useless office that serres no od purpose in the administration of the people's affairs. Mr. Snliivan has been highly hon ored and trusted by his County and City since he consented to enter poli tics. He was elected as a member of Constitutional Convention of 1805, and then waa elected a member of the House, and afterwards was elected oenator, without an opponent. At the end of bis term as Senator, he was elected Mayor of the City of Anderson for two terms, of two years each. And in every position he displayed that fine sense and integrity of purpose that had been characteristic of him in his private affairs, ?md which had en abled him to build up, with his asso ciates, one of the largest and most popula*- Mercantile business houses in \ Anderson Owing to the time required of him for his pabilo duties, he found that he would nave to discontinue his public or private dutiee, and he gave np bia private business, at a large personal sacrifice, in order that he might con tinue in tbe discharge of hiB public duties. He served for a time as Agent of the C. &, W. C. Railroad in Ander son, but resigned this position to give his time more fully to the duties of tho mayoralty. What better training could a man have had for the office no is now fleck ing? What a powerful faotor on tho CommaBSion thia training and expe rience, in public and private affairs will make him! What a splendid thing it would be for the State if everv man who seeks public office ?waa as ' well fitted for tho office sought as our friend and neighbor and follow oitizen, James M. Sullivan! HON. ?. P. TOLLY Who has several times been Mayor of Anderson and who could almost cer tainly be Mayor again if he wanted the office. He was one of the most popu lar Mayor's that Anderson ever had. HON. JOHN E. HOOD Who served ooo term ae . /or and who is at press?? tbs pope's? -~;ty Attorney. He is also State Senator and refuses another term. OR. W. h. NARDIN Vho served one term as Mayor and rho has several times been urged to ooept the office again, but refused on ooount of his heavy medioal praotioe. THE LATE HON? J. h.

Horrible Tragedy In North Carolina. Greensboro, N. C., July 14.--Onoof the most horrible tragedies in the his* tory of Rowan county ooourred near Barber's Junction, about 40 miles from, this city, this morning. Between the hours of 1 and 2 o'olook an unknown person or persons entered the home of Ike Lyorly, a well known farmer, while its oooupants were asleep, killing Mr. Lyerly, his wife and two of the young? sst children and fatally wounding the third. The parents and tho three children were sleeping in the front room on the first floor, there being two elder daugh ters sleeping up stairs, who were un molested and were awakened by the smoko and flames from below. The girls descended tho stairs to awaken their father and mother. On reach ing their room they behold their fath er and mother and tho three youngest children lying on the bed, their heads wero crushed and their faoea. badly disfigured. The two older daughters, Mary and Addie, aged 18 and ht respectively, managed to carry the dead bodies from the house and extinguish the flames. Then they ran to the nearest neigh bor, W. B. Barbors, and told the story of the awful tragedy. There being no officoro of the law at this place, B. B. Mullikan, train dispatcher on duty. at that hour, wes notified and promptly wired the news to the sheriff at Salis bury, who started at once to the scene with bloodhounds and posse of armed men. Bloodhounds were al o o sent from Winston-Salem to assist in the pursuit of tho guilty. ? Mr. Lyerly was a highly respeoted ; cltisen and well connected and ii is inconceivable thal any one should have anything against him or his fam ily. Three negro man and a negro woman -George Erwin, Jaok Billingham and Mitchel Graham and his wife-have been arrested and put in jail at Salis bury on suspicion of oomplioity in tho ease? Excitement is intense in the neigh borhood and there is talk of lynohing, if tbs criminals are caught. - An automobile is a source of dis appointment or of amusement, just ss you cr your uelgu&or fa paying the bills. - A woman may. chango her mind as often as she wants to, out when a man changes his he is pretty certain to hear his letters read in court. - f .-..- ^V,;''; W ? ?,: :;ilir?r.r.l ...n^ &K ^PPOrt<!fj^J^...?et H'Sh ?laS8,ll 2!?th'"S Exceptionally Low Prices. ?
