Gaffn.y, Dec. 17.?Gaffney boasts cf a family whose relationship is possibly more complicated than any other in the State. For the purpose of the narrative, the names may be given as Dr. Blank and J. C. Jones. Dr. Blank's daughter marries J. C. Jones. Dr. Blank marries the sister of J. C. Jones. Therefore, Dr. Blank is his own daughter's brother-in-law, his son-in law's brother-in'aw, grandfather 01 nit nephews and nieces, or uncle of his own grandchildren. Dr. Blank's daughter is her father's sister-in-law. aunt cf iier half-sisters and brothers. I. C. .Jones is his father-in-law's brother-in-law, father of his brotherin-law's grandchildren, uncle of his wife's half-sisters and brothers. Dr. Blank's children <by his second marriage with is daughter's sister-inlaw, are half-sisters and brothers of their aunt, who is their father's daughter, and also his sister-in-law. Th^y are the nephews and nieces of his * - r>- of her hus daugnier, band's sister, and their own father. Dr. Blank, is their grand-uncle, being the father of the aunt, their mother's- s;ster-in-law. This is an accurate record, and the figures have been verified, so that ther-e can be no doubt of the accuracy of the relationship thus established The family is probably the most unique. in point of relation-hip, of any "n this co:r. urnity.

DOMIMfK. nderson Paper Willing to Wajrer He Will be Next Congressman From Third District The following is from recent issue f the Anderson Lntelligencer: From the dope handed out at Washigton, the congressmen will hand out le lunis in their respective districts, his means that tlK Anderson postlastership will be in the hands of the woTPsmnfln from this, the third, con ressional district. As Postmaster J oojiran holds on for something over vo years, it is not known whet he* ongressman Aiken will have this leasure. As there will be another ice for his office before tl^.- time, is believed that if h^^^p strong ppcsition. he wiHgIt is flL H. Dominick, of Newberry. Mr. Dominick is a pastmaster as a politician. This was shown in the way he handled Gov. Blease's campaign last summer. He not only ha6 unusual ability as' a campaign manager, but he is a brainy young lawyer with cold-blooded fighting qualities. Jule Boggs' poor health was the only thing that saved Congressman Aiken four Years aeo. when the man from Pickens all but won. We are willing to stake our reputation as a political forecaster, that Mr. Dominick will defeat Congressman Aiken and will find it an easy job. Time will tell and the time ic short. The next postmaster of Anderson will probably be named by one Fred. H. Dominick. While his name ig Doininick, he has the fighting qualities of a war-horse game cock and unies# something unforeseen turns up, the Intelligencer will go into the fight to help Dominick win in order that thia county and district may have a live member to represent it in the halls of congress. Bazaar at Little Mountain High School. There will be a. bazaar in the auditorium of the Little Mountain school buildine on the evening of December 27, beginning at 7.30 o'clock.

Buford, for sixteen years the gallant and faithful sheriff of Newberry county, is an applicant for appointment to the office of United States marshal for the district of South Carolina, and we hould be delighted to see him occupying that important position, for there is no man in the entire State moro capable or more deserving than he. We sincerely hope and trust that when President-elect wnson cumes into the assumption of the appointive power Capt. M. M. Buford may be amongst the very first appr Intees of the Democratic president. The office of United States marshal for this State, like that of president of the nation. has long been held by a Repub- , lican, and now that the Democrats ire on * >r\ let a Democratic wheel-horse like M. M. Buford take the job. Capt. Buford is the right man for the place, and we feel pretty safe in the prediction that he'li get the appointment. Honor Roll Excelsior School.
