The custom of eandi.Infos an- I liotllicinir themselves through the1 columns of the county papois. as | has been practiced over since the campaign humbug lias been in vouge in this Slate, seems to have become J? thing ?f 1 !>*-* past, at least with the office-seekers of York < njnty, Indeed, it. is said, that there is grave talk by some candidates in this county of ignoring I e newspapers altogether and it now looks as if is to become a ' tlity, as there is, as \ye have seen, only one York county man an-1 n lunci t) himself up to this writing. If this action is taken it will i lean considerable loss to the newspapers, hut if the candidate can afford to cut expenses along this line, we believe the paper man can just as well afford to lose it. The Columbia correspondent of News and Courier expresses his opinion along this line as follows: "All that the newspapers have to do is to put the 'snuffers' on the candidates and simply leave out ill ,.r ti.... ...... . 1. mi iiiv i^in'ii f/i iiii\ v (iii?ii\Kii ro, i 11 L' I I ineet ings. their spouchcs and everythint; commuted with their cam- ! paign from beginning to end. If the newspapers will only have the norve to huhl out they have already won thejr filtht and perhaps j not this yeur, hut ijeip year, they can double the pripe of the cardst and the candidates will be glad to pay it. ' The unknown and new candidates pre the ones who wdl ho handicapped and injured by not publishing their cards and getting before the public with their an* nouneeinents and their speeches, and it is evident that some folks know a thing or two about politips." -* ? There has been a great ileal said through the columns of the papers in regard to tlje Charleston exposition and its many attractive fpa-| tntea. There is one, however, t hat lias been almost entirely ignored or overlooked by all ronvap mdentr,, and probably from tlie fact that its location ia audi aa not to attract general attention. Reference js made to the grjisa garden of the United States agricultural department, which conaiatH of foiir acres of .'round and ia located just east of the encampment of the marine cprps. Every farmer whn vibita the exposition, ahonld viait this garden.T Mere are to bo found growing over Jiffy different specimen of forage crops suitable for pur Southern suns, as wheat, rye nijd barley of manv kinds. The seeds of the different forage corps referred to liave been gathered from f'Jgypt, Africa, China, licland, Scotland, Kngland, Anrtlndia, and many otlior countries. The representative of t|io agi ienltmaj department | in charge of t|je garden in a prac- i tical farmer, and oan give the visitor fnl| infonnation regarding | each and every species of the crop, , and it can tie said to every farmer, i if ho can spare time to go down, yen if he spends only one day at j the exposition, let hip? carefully I study these forage crops, get a list. t\f Uiiel) uti l.a UM? nfo . oo * l??? i W* ?i??vu ?.o IIU nuiuo I\J tip*-1 filial Mr will be ten times repaid fur the j expense of the trip, ami for tlje time ho may think ho is losing from his farm.

Investigation showed that ho went to the lynching in his capacity of reporter, and he pleaded that if he had not shot the nemo the mob would have burned the man at the stake. llis excuse might have been uecepted were it not for the fact that Senators from the North and West arc bei wr deluded with protests from colored voters against KIvilli: L*ed nil oflice to a man who was identified in any way with a lynching party. The Senators arc fearful that. Unless these protests are heeded the colored voters will desert the Republican party that they have prevailed upon the coin mittoe which has the nomination ill charge not to report it.

S. K. B. - ? Young Girls Badly Frightened. Two young girls, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James Bailes, of Fort mill, while returning to their home a few evenings ago, when in about one hundred yards of their home were confronted by a negro man who (isose from his hiding in a fence corner and attempted to seize them.

Soon thereafter a blood hound was secured and a party of i about eight started in pursuit, but all trace of the negro was lost. The young ladies stated that identification would be impossible, as it was almost dark and that the negro did not get very close to them. Kock Hill Herald, 10th.
