The building will be erected on 1
the vacant lot just north of the (

by W. L. Hall. There will be *
two store rooms on the ground 1
floor and the upstairs will be 1
divided into office rooms. The 1
dimensions of the building are 1
35 by GO feet and the cost is 1
to be about $1,600. It is understood
that when the building is '
romnleted the lower floors will j
be occupied by H. D. Harkeyand 1
A. C. Jones as a barber shop and
restaurant, respectively, and the 1

Trips Fcr the Militia.
With the annual encampment
' at Anniston, Ala., and the training
camp for the South Carolina
commissioned officers at Fort
McPherson, Georgia, to come
during the next two months, the (
officers and privates of the
National Guard in this State
have several interesting trips
just ahead of them.
The summer camp of instruction
for the commissioned officers
^f the Gulf division of the
National Guard will be held near 1
Atlanta, Ga., at Fort McPherson. i
The South Carolina officers will 1
be at this camp during the week (
o: May 13 to 18. Each officer i
will be an understudy to a regular
officer of similar rank at the ]
fort, and each will receive practi- ?'
cal instruction in the various i
details incident upon camp life '
and upon life on the field of battie.
Each State in this division :
of the organization will be represented
at Fort McPherson for oi e
week, through its commissioned
officers. Other similar trainirg
camps will be in operation lor
the National Guard officers of
other portions of the country.
The annual encampment for
the 1st and 3d regiments of the
1 National Guard in South Carolina
will take place .June 6 to 16,
at Anniston, Ala. The encampI
merit is always a feature looked
i forward to with considerable j
r interest by the members of the
t rnilitia. Anniston lias the ad?
vantage of being half-way be>
tween Birmingham and Atlanta,
f and this will allow opportunity
to the soldiers to visit both
places while on the encampment.
! State Politics Warming Up.
i There is much interest in po>
litical questions in South Carot
lina at this time. In addition to
1 the all-absorbing topic of presil
dential preferences there is a
- decidedly strong current of State
i politics in circulation. Judge
IraB. Jones, former chief justice
of the South Carolina supreme
' court, a candidate for governor
[ against Gov. Cole L. Blease, has
j concluded a campaign trip of
over a month through the pied}
mont section of South Carolina,
s speaking in half a dozen coun*
ties. Judge Jones is making an
exceedingly active campaign,
~ sometimes making as many as
" four speeches in a single day.
Three candidates are now in

- senator. R K. Tillman, expires
s in 1913 and he is a candidate to
succeed himself. W. Jasper Tale
belt, who has run before, is a
candidate. The latest entry is
e that of X. 1>. Dial, lawyer, bankd
er and cotton mill president of
e Laurens. Mr. Dial is no strangn
er to politics, having been a
' leading figure in municipal poliy
tics of Laurens for years. He is
former mayor of Laurens. Martin

s ex-governor in the race may be
II John Gary Evans of Spartanburg.
R. Goodwyn Rhett, former mayor
n of Charleston, is a possibility, as
e is Richard I Manning, twice a
tr candidate for governor,
n The usual large crop of candidates
for the various State
it offices will be in evidence.

Charlotte News.
The relatives of John 0. Steele,
the young man from Lancaster,
S- C., who was killed by the falling
of a pole of the Southern
Power Co.'s system here last
January 12th, have instituted
suit against the Southern Power
for $25,000.
Steele, who was a young man
about 25 years of age, was working
as lineman for the power
company. The squad to which
Steele was assigned for duty
was engaged in repairing the
line between the city and Lakewood
Park. He had climbed
upon a newlv placed pole to adjust
a wire, the pole being located
on a steep embankment on the
Wadsworth place, just west of
the city. The pole fell with the
young man down the embank- '
ment killing him almost instant- ,
ly.
It will be alleged in the com- i
plaint that insufficient precaution j
was taken to insure the safety ,
of the workman, allowing mm to
risk his life in a hazardous manner.
Mr. S. C. Ross, of this
city, was made administrator of
the deceased, since none of his '
relatives, being non-residents, ]
could serve in that capacity. |
Judge Ernest Moore, of Lancas- (
ter, and Mr. F. M. Redd, of this ,
city, will represent the plaintiff. 1
News of Gold Hill. |
Correspondence Fort Mill Times.
The health of our neighbors
is good, I think, and the farmers i
are just moving up preparing
the land for planting. The small
grain crop is wellnigh invisible
as yet.
This, the 9th, day of April
marks the 47th anniversary of
the surrender of Lee at Appomattox.
Yes, we are 47 years
)lder than we were on that
sventful day and we were no
spring rooster then. A large
majority of those present that
morning have passed away, and
the remaining few are old and
^ray-headed and are living
monuments of God's mercy.
The day their governor spoke ]
at Gold Hill we heard a gentle- .
man remark that their governor 1
had made rapid strides to go 1
from a livery stable boy to the (
office of governor. Yes, remarked
another man, and what
sort of a governor have we got?
The other remarked that he is
the best one vfe have had in
twenty years. Well, that may
be so, but there are a lot of '
mighty good people around here .
who think otherwise and as they
help pay the freight they want
some governor, too. Next November
we will put the bellcord
in the hands of Uncle Jones who 1
will pay the freight on the whole
outfit, if he does farm under a 1
fence only one rail high.

Solicitor Henry for Reelection.
Solicitor J. K. Henry has stated
;o friends that he will be in the
ace for re-election to the office
le now holds, says a Chester
lespatch to The News and Courer.
Mr. VV. Harry Foster, of
iforkville, is said to be a prospective
candidate, and there are
i!so said to be two others who
r.ay decide to try conclusions
with Mr. Henry. The present
solicitor has been in office for
several years, and has a splendid
record for fidelity to duty. He ,
has made enemies by the vigor
with which he has pushed certain
prosecution, but at the same
time he will be extremely hard to
defeat.
Glorious News
comes from Dr. J. T. Curtiss, Dwight,
Kan. He writes: "I not o;ily have cured
bad cases of oezema in my patients with
Electric Bitters, but also cured myself
by them of the same disease. 1 feel sure
they will benefit any case of eczema."
This shows what thousands have proved,
that Electric Bitters is a most effective
blood purifier. Its an excellent remedy
for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers,
boils and running sores. It stimulates
liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons,
helps digestion, builds up the
strength. Price 50 cts. Satisfaction
