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

to the present administration.
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

Lancaifer and Chesterfield Railroad.
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.
