As Others See Stevenson The Chester Reporter recently had this to say about the Congressional race and it was copied in the Yorkville Enquirer of June 16: "Hon. W. F. Stevenson of Cheravv, who is again an aspirant for the seat so long held, and Jj still held as Congressman by D. I E. Finley, was in York last Fri- I day and Saturday and if physi- I cal appearances count for any- I thing, is fit for the fray. The | belief seems to be general throughout the District that Mr. Stevenson will be the Fifth District's next Congressman, but the sand hatred statesman from Cheraw is not going to let confidence proove his undoing." "Well, George." said the president of the company to old George, the driver, "how goes it?" "Oh, fair ter middlin', sir," George answered as he contin ued to currycomb a bay horse. "Me an' this here hoss," George said suddenly, "has worked for your firm sixteen years." "Well, well," said the president, feeling a little guilty of George's seven-doll ar-a- week salary. ">\nd I suppose you are joth nr<?ttv hiahlv \/nlii?iH 3eorge, eh?" i "Dunno 'bout that," said I jeorge. "The both of us was 1 ook sick last week, and they H rot a doctor fer th* hoss, but hey docked me fer the two days E was off." 1 Notice Notice is hereby given that nder no consideration will gasline be sold ncr repairs made n automobiles in the Town of ageland on the Sabbath day.
