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.

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.

thereby hangs an interesting tale, j
Koester is a newspaper won of
Columbia, S. 0., uho was selected
by Senator McLaurin, As soon
as he had been appointed it was
discover* d that he had participated
in the lynching of a nemo. 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. Rooster's
name will probably be withdrawn.

the children frightened the negro
and he run in an opposite direc]
tion. 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.

The Times heard of the incident
some time previous to our last issue,
but as there was doubt as to
whether the man did attempt an
assault, and not earing to create
excitement oyer what we feared
was an imaginary affair, we refrained
from publishing anything
of the occnrronce. The whole af

elected dispenser at Yorkville at a j
salary of $(>00 a year, and the place j
selected for a dispensary is the !
Hunter store-room in the Lindsay J
budding at a rental <>f $200 a year ,
and a cellar, if recpiired, at an additional
charge of S2 per month.
One other room was offered at the
same rental, tiiat in the Allison
block. And also a vacant store in ;
the southern part of town by Mr. i
\Y. (\ Latimer at $120 a year. '
The Lindsay room was thought to
have some advantage o\ er the
others, principally on account of
size and light, and the fact thnt
there are no ?>]) n back premises,
nor adjacent alleys. The dispell|
