Rejfstratioo Books Close January 4. Owing to an oversight the town rsgistrmtion books were advertised to close on December 22, when the date should have been January 4. The law requires that the books be closed ten days before the election, and as the municipal election takes place the 14th of January, the nooks wiH be kept open until the 4th instant.

At the last meeting of the council the clerk was instructed to take up the matter of additional street lights with the' Electric Company. A contract wac drawn up to the satisfaction of those interested and the lights, twelve in number, are being erected at intervals between the old lights. Other and very much needed work which the council has recently done is the building of a piazza and otherwise improving the police station, the ditching of the big swamp near the old White-Springs gmhouse. and the installation of a new pump in the public well. The streets have also been receiving attention lately, many washes having been repaired and bridges built. As proof of the business-like manner in which the town's affairs have been managed it may be said that the town treasury is better off financially than for several years. Dispensary Canstnf Much Trouble. A serious condition of affairs appears to exist at Springfield, in Orangeburg county, on account of the warring factions into which the town has been divided on account of the dispensary, says the Rock Hill Record. At present the dispenser and his friends appear to have the upper hand, though a clash with the mayor and some of the better element is iminent. A number of fires believed to be of incendi- i ary origin have occurred in the j town recently, among them the burning of the dispensary. There are intimations that the dispenl sary factions had something do with these fires, while rumors of this kind are said to be mei with threats on the part of th( dispensary side that anybody whc; makes such insinuation will be shot. It is reported that shortly after the dispensary fire, dispensary goods were being freely sold as tiger stock. As yet the governor has taken no hand in the matter. A delegation headed bjf the mayor of the town has been to see him and he has been requested to take a hand and have the dispensary, which was set up at another place after it was burned, closed and 1 / g We w is J ?

Fourteen miles of the Chesterfield and Lancaster railroad's extension beyond Chesterfield court honse toward Lancaster have been completed. It was desired that these be opened for use without waiting for the completion of the entire work of construction, and Commissioner B. L. Caughman, for the railroad commission, accordingly made the^ inspection required by law for "all new railroads several days ago. He saidd that the construction work had been well done and the company was given permission accordingly to commence the operation of trains over the completed portion. The road is ultimately to extend from Chcraw via Chesterfield to Lancaster. The section between Cheraw and Chester-! field court house has heen in use for several years. Have a Care For the Little "Tufflsies" Truly 'tis strange how conditions change and how naturally people adapt themselves. You once could buy pure Candy at a reasonable price. Then they learned to make it with every-' thing adulterated and spurious, ! even without sugar. Now you cannot get Candy thoroughly pure everyway for less than t forty to eighty cents per pound. But people are learning to pay it or go without Candy. But there 1 are a lot of innocent children ! still suffering for proper conj sideration. We have a large | stock of pure Candy ? Candy ' with a name to sustain in 5 and 10 cent packages. Drop one of these neat little packages in each stocking. It will be all their [ little stomachs need, even of I Pure Candy and they will appreciate it more than a pound paper bag full of glucose and artificial flavorings and colorings.
