Prosperity. January 25.-All
who ate opposed to good roads leg
islation should take a trip through
the county at this time. We cer
tainly think the roads themselves
wbuld be the best argument for
improvement in road building.
We imagine that just as soon
as the legislature adjourns the
candidates will swarm and such
a rustling of there will be "among
the dry bones" will be amazing.
But then what would we do every
other year if ; it was not for the
Jolly Candidate with his good I
natured "Howdy. How do you do.
How's your wife and how are
you?" ,
We note that foot ball has been
abolished in a number of the
colleges and universities. We ia
think it would be a good idea
for base ball to follow suit.
Mr. J. Y. Thompson has moved C
into the house vacated by Mr. i
Hunter, on Langford avenue. if
We rescued a few waifs in ,
the newspaper ocean one day the
past week - and we pass them on
for what they are worth.
"It is impossible to live with
out work: even those who are
supposed to do it are generally
engaged in working somebody." p
"If you don't do the things you (
should do you will either live ti
to see the folly of your course, or a
your children will." '
"We canuet help what .has
.passel, but we can look out for
-ure and make provisioni
for _he coming years.

We ere readirng ih the
southern Cetivdtor of January
~w'ith a word of war#ing to' the
ple~i of. the south and we re-b
pre4uce. here what, hi the -opiion,
of th~Fditor, was the sunimutig u
...ast week. ie were .talking .to 3~
me f the leading~ bankers in the f
state. and a man gifted both in
wisdom and foresight, through the y
aid of which he has amassed
quite a fortune. He said: "With
all of our prosperity at this time.
I am looking for a panic at no
* distant day." I was surprised and
asked him "why ?" lie replied:
"Because of the reckless dealing 3
in cotton futures all over the South.
The southern farmers and mer
.chants are simply now on this
line, and are putting every dlollar I
they can into it. and should cotton
go down. you wvill see a regular
panic follow.". Our times are get
ting too flush: the safeguards are
being ignored and evil consequen- I
ces are sure to follow, hence wve
send out this note of warning.,
while it is vet time so that some
may heed and profit by it. At
least you can not lose by taking
this adlvice,--Don't be reckless
Don't deal in futures-Don't go
in debt. If you have any mloney
invest it in land or in im
proving that which you already1
owvn.-in this way you can not
lose anything and it wvill bring
you both prosperity and peace
of mind.
We would like to italicize the
words. Don't get reckless. Don't
deal in futures and that which says
if you have money invest it in
land.

ELEC'IoN oF CITEIF JUS'TICE
When the joint Assembly organ
zedi to enter into the scheduled elc
ions for the (lay Mr. Manning wvas
nthe chair. The first election .was
hat of Chief Justice. Although
luring the session there had been
:alk f opposition to Mr. Pope. it
lid not materialize. It was some
vhat curious and( noteworth that
he Senator from Newvberry neither
oinrated nor voted for Chief Jus
ice Pope. Former Judge J. H. Hu(d
on nomlinated1 Mr. Pope for re
:lection. and Mr. Tayor, of New
err. seconed the nomination.
There was considerale talk of
M Ir. G eo. S. .\lower's name being
reseted, but lie dleclined to be
hominatedl. The vote for Chiei
ustice Pope ) was without oppos
:ion. and he received 146 votes-all
:hat were cast.
Judlge Chas. E. Dantzler, 01
rangeburg, has given such entire
satisfaction and1 is so much in lov(
with his work that he was re-eecte"
without a sign of opposition as
Tuges of the 1st circuit. H-e was
nominated by Senator Le( Grand
Walker.
d There was a slight contest on the
election of Judge lames Aldrich
as jIdge of the 2d circuit. IMr. f.
BeltonN Watson nominated Senator
I. F. Warren. of Colleton County.
Dr. Whatlev. of Hampton. second
ed the nomination. Judge james Al
drich was nominated for re-election
by Col. John R. Cloy, which was
seconded by Senator W. E. John
son.
The ballot resulted: James Al
drich. 118: E. F. Warren 32: James
Aldrich re-elected.
Judge Purdy was re-elected with
out objection. Judge R. 0. Purdy
has given entire satisfaction and he
was re-elected without a whisper of
opposition.
Then there was another un
animous re-election. Judge R. C.
Watts. of Chesterfield. was placed
in nomination for re-election in a
pleasant little speech 'about how
much his people reiced at the fine
stand Judge Watts had taken in the
State. Judge Watts received every
vote cast.
There was no opposition to the
re-election of Judge Geo. W. Gaze,
of the 6th circuit. His administra
tion has been so entirely satisfactory
that there was no opposition what
ever. He received the entire vote
cast.
There was a bit of a lively race
in the 8th.circuit. Judge Klugh was
opposed for re-election by State
Senator McGowan. of Laurens
County. Mr. Klugh received wo of
the votes cast, and Mr. McGowan
received 41. which re-elected Judge
Klugh for a term of four years by
a most flattering vote.
The State librarian is most de
serving, high-toned and conscien
tious young woman. Miss Linnie
H.LaBorde was a candidate for re-.
eletion and her popularity and ser
vice stood her in good stead and she
eceived [36 out of the 150 votes.
that were cast; Miss S. M..A. Black
was named in opposition. to the in
cumbxelibrarian and receiv.ed 16)
votes. Miss LaBorde was declared
relectegl for a terni. of two.years.
There .werie;two.nominations, for
the two positie.ns .. ox the Peu.iteni
tiarys board. There were. two vacan
cies and<-Messrs.D. B. Peurifoy,-o~f
Saluda. and- Mr. J. 0. Vingo, of
Greeuiville, both former members of
the House; were candidates for 'ie
election and there was no opposition
to them. There. wvas talk that Mr.
George B. Davis would be a candi
date for a place on the board, but he
did not. run, and Messrs Wingo and
Puerifor were reelected.
The next elections were for trus
tees of Winthrop College. There
wvas no opposition to the re-election
of the incumbents. Messrs Edward
S. Jovnes. of Columbia: W. J. Rod
dlev. of Rock Hill, and A. Markley
Lee. of Charleston. There was no
reason in the world to have made
any charges on the board and the
incumbent trustees whse terms ex
pired were re-elected.
There was no opposition to the
three members of the board of trus
tees of the South Carolina College
whose terms of office expired.

There is nothing that is becomi
ing so stagnated and obnoxious t
the .people of South Carolina a
that old liquor howl. From on
session of the legislature to th
net, it is litigation. investigatioi
and vexation over th1e, dispensar:
law. There is one set of peopi
who must think the other set to b
the biggest fools that ever trod th
face of the earth. but everythmn
has an end(. and~ the end of the dis
pensary: law has come.
It makes very little differenc
what action the present legislatur
takes in regard to the matter. Nex
summer is the time fo)r the p)eop)le ti
speak out with their ballot, and the:
will then showv how they will rid th
halls of the legislature from liquo
advocates.
The investigating commritte
nvhich hben goin. umn from tim
to time, nearly a year, has now ask
ed for greater power which means
more timd to do their work. My
understanding was that this com
mittee would be ready at this ses
sion of the legislature to make its
final report., so that it would in
struct them just what kind of legis
lation was most needed, but it seems
- that they are just as far off from
d that now as they were before they
started. Some one will please telL
me what all of this investigation
h has amounted to except to show up
a whole lot of rascality that the
- people already knew about, that
h was going on, and suppose it con
tinues for another year, what will
be the result, except the outpouring
of a whole lot of money into the
d pockets of a few men. Do you sup
pse you will ever see anybody pun
- ished for all of this grafting or
misdemeanors that have been
brought to light. Don't take my
b words, but wait and see.
Another one of our go6d old
e mothers has passed away. Last
Y Sunday, the 21st, at her home, near
Jolly Street, Mrs. Frances Kinard
breathed her last, age 77 years.
Mrs. Kinard was married three
times, her first husband was Mr.
Louis Hutchinson. They lived to
gether only a feW years, one child
was born to them, Miss Bettie, who
was a faithful child and stayed
. with her mother until she died.
. Her second husband was Mr. Ben
Leitzsey, the father of Mrs. Mollie
Ruff and Mrs. Anna Shealey. This
union lasted just a little more than A
a year, with no children. The
third and; last fnisband was Mr
Georg .(irlard, who just preced
ed her to th~eipirit land foortek
t months. Mr. and,Mrs. Kinard" lived
- happily together forty-two yeai
no children. The deceased was a
- member of Bachman Chapel churca
and just a few days before she
r died, she whispered in the ear of
Sher daughter, "I am going to heav
en," and '0, what consoling words
to the .bereft child." I have known
r this gdad old mother all of my life,
and know her reputation and char
actei- fronm her childhood. and what
Ilam going' to say of her ought to
be a lesson to the living. Her w~ho3le'
iioe awas peace, love and quietud&
not a single word of harm have I
evr heard.spoken of her. "Then
Scan. sav with blessed 'old David,
s which were the wb'rds used at her
funeral: ."Verily there is a reward

In the asndof the pastor,
