Black had called to withdraw his card as a candidate for Magistrate at Hilda, the legislature having at tbe last session discontinued tbe office at that place, knowledge of which change had come only a few dnys before when the acts of the last session were first received here. The locrl mention of Mr. Black’* call was written and put In type before the County Democratic Executive Com mittee had acted by resolution that tbe candidates for tbe positions at the places not provided for at the last Legislative session should continue In the pilmary. Therefore, we did nor discontinue the eiyd announcing the candidacies of Mr. Black and others for the position of Magistrate at HUd*^ Baldoc Ac. It was our Intention to leave out (he local as to Mr. Black’s withdrawal of his card and we thought we had done so until we discovered our mistake on Monday of this Week. The mistake was the editor’s and he is sor ry for It and makes the be*t amends hs can in this explanation, which we hope will be satisfactory to all concerned and hurtful to inme. SWEET POTATOES. If we are correctly Informed Barn- well County can not make mine thi« year than a half an average corn crop If any other section of the State, the South or the Doited State* ha* a (H-tter pro«peci the fact ha« not been told in any new-paper we have read County rauod corn I* acarc* and high priced now, and In Ihl.i It is lixely to be scarcer and higher ‘It Is never too late to mend." Tbe usual crop working first half of the year Is gone and the gathering, selling and sac .-'.tiring season come* on. The hope* of (he avc. sge farmer and mar- chant are now in the Uncertain cotton crop and the (1 m tuations of the price of the wool clothing staple. It is too la’e to plant corn or c<dton but ju*t light for the next six we*-k* to extend and enlarge the tweet potato acreage. As tbe nlghis grow lunger and (lie Jews heavier toward Fall Hie sweet potato grow* faster In size, iiiiildpMe* in number and inereaaes in swwetne-a They are good eating f >r people, slock, and poultry, aim the supply In t o iTuntry towns and cities rarely exceed- the demand. Toe Barnwell ( nunly • wret potato is the l>c-l in this part o( the world, and enough should he “row r> here to supply train loads to the > Hie* and mill towns In the clay re gion* where the potatoes grown are about as toothsome as artichokes Mnhble land from which oat* or other small grain ha* been rot is excellent far making both eating potatoes and slips. The examinations held on Friday by the County Board ol Education were attended by six voting lady candidates for Winthrop College and three young nren aspirant* for the College of (Charleston.
