* ’ ' 1 HER HORSE RAN. * ONE OF THE CANDIDATES WHILE CAN YASSING NAD A RUNAWAY: HORSE SCENTED NEW SUBSCRIBER. are are in The voting con teat haa bet n run ning since Dec. 24, and the results obtained are very gratifying to the management of this paper. Great interest is being manifested by every one who reads the paper, either in or ontof the oonnty. Votes hare been cast from several counties in this state and from several states in the anion. The number of votes cast indicate the extent of the interest shown. Daring January we added last 100 new names to onr list of subscribers and these are paid a year or more in advance. Still they come in. This week are printed 1850 papers, and we hope by the time the contest ends to print over 2000 for oar regular issue. But the contest is the thing. One hears it on all sides, and votes coming in by every mail. We pleased to note the sUady growth the totals of many of the candidates this week two new candidate have entered since our last issue, and we have heard of others who will shortly come in. There is no telling now who will be the winner. It may be one of the candidates whom no one has tho >ght in the race. The large totals some of the candidates are proud of were won by a week’s work —what one has done others may do— why not you?—Simply hustle and wait results. One young lady was out canvass ing for votes a few days ago when hei horse ran and almost demolished her buggy. Had it done so, one would say she should win first prize. Now when we urge hustling we mean for candidates only to bustle and not their horses. We understand, how ever, to do the horse justice, that it scented a new subscriber in the dis tance and was after him. The sequel was the lady sent in a good batch of votes. That’s hustling. CLOSING i EXERCISES AT BELLS Bells, Feb. 6; Special:—The School at this place closed on the 5th inst. There were forty-six pupils enrolled during the year. The last month’s average was over twenty-eight which goes to show that interest was held to the last. Indeed the patrons are grieving that the school closes so early and many of them are speaking of a private school. " Miss Effie Jones, cur teacher, has returned to her home at Ashton where she enjoys the sweet consci ence that she has done her duty at Bells to its fullest extent. Her work here is commended and appreciated by her many friends. A number of the patrons and visi tors assembled at the school room on the 5th to hear the closing exercises. The following is the program: Song,—America, by the ‘ ADAMS RUN ITEMS. Adams Run, Feb. 6: Editor Press and Standard:- Quite a difference in the temperature of temperature of today and last-Saturday. Last Sat urday and Sunday were freezing. King Winter reigned royally. To day gentle spring weather is with us the birds are singing their love songs to their mates and we are reminded of St. Valentine’s day. The cold last week killed a great many of the hot house plants. S. J. Rumph’s barrel factory has begun making barrels. Little Miss Pauline Taylor spent last week with Mrs. T. J. Taylor, re turning home on Srturday. Little Miss Lois Legare spent last week’s end at Pon Pon with Miss Pauline Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. James Jenkins, of Charleston, are visiting Mrs. Ada Barnwell, also other relatives. This is their old home and their many friends welcome them with much pleasure. Mrs. Cecile W. King has returned home from a visit to her sons in New York City. Misses Julia and Annie Larsen were in town last week. M. W. Clement visited Walterbord last Friday. Misses Lucia and Nancy Newton visited relatives in Dorchester last week. Miss Georgia Davis is visiting her aunt, Mrs W. J. Newton. Mesdames Cal and Jake Linder, Misses Gladys Mellard, and Annie Dodd spent yesterday veiy" pleas antly at the Bluff. Mrs Johnson has joined Mr John son at Bennett’s Point to remain there until summer. Miss Evie Johnson returned home with Miss Pearl Kearse of Olar for a brief visit, from there she will visit her sister, Mrs Mears at Varn- ville. Mrs Edmund Bellinger and family have moved to Hendersonville. They made many friends during their stay with us, who w’ere sorry to give them up, but such is life, we come and go; meetings and partings. The only thing now in a social way is the Sewing Circle, which offers great amusement. The men want to find out everything said at it, but it seems that ladies can keep quiet sometimes. Every lady member is always present—afraid to stay away. A dreadful penalty must be paid if she is absent. Guess it? The new educational bill intro duced by Mr. Garris is a very at tractive one and should he appre ciated by those interested in the future of the young lives intrusted to their care, and who are responsi ble for the preparation they receive to fight life’s battles. I hope it will bring forth good fruit and not fall by the way side. Too many.parents seem to think that any time will do for an education, and many do not uphold the leaders in their efforts to educate tf!e child. Just let John or Jane be punished for gross negli gence and oh! tho fat is in the tire and John may remain Home next day until his ruffled plumage gets smooth again. But 1 will stop and let another write of this matter who weilds the pen with more proficiency than I. What do you think of a business man who looses one day and dates receipts ’‘1910,” a year ahead? Somebody is singing “Annie Laurie” these days. Mere Anon. Classified Advenisements. FOR SALE inni** for ■«!$ E 1‘eQrifO/- 2 horse wagon in M. P. Howell. FOR SALT.—Oue gotni Terms easy.

Round, Feb. 6.—Special: The Bethlehem school, with Miss Glover as teacher, has closed, and under such pleasant circumstances that we would like our friends who were not present at the closing exercises, to know of it through your paper. Our little school has been getting on quite prosperously and the at tendance vand lessons have been pretty fair. Miss Glover, the teach er, offered a prize to the scholar who should make the highest aver age on lessons and conduct. On Wednesday, the last day of school, a few of the patrons visited the school to hear who had won, and they were pleasantly entertaired with recita tions by Misses Annie and Delle Hiott, and Miss Glover. Annie and Delle have been studying elocution and have proved a great credit to their teacher. Thelma Hiott won the prize, though several others only missed it by a fraction, for the averages were very good and altogether the work for the term has been satisfactory. After the last recitation the pu pils were dismissed and the occa sion was celebrated by a -deliciously happy straw ride through Cottage- ville. The teacher accompanied her scholars and enjoyed it as^much as they. The crowd returned by moon light and parted wi< h mutual regret. Miss Glover left for ker home the next day, and, though requested to do so, does not expect to take charge of thisichool again. Thanking you Mr Editor.

Prohibition has a hard fight in South Carolina as elsewhere. The people of this State are unquestion ably by a very large majority in favor of State-wide prohibition, and yet the State senate is tryinig to block the wish of the people. It may be postponed, but prohibition will *in. The fenate will be re creant to the will of the great ma jority of the people of the State, if they decline to pass a State-wide prohibition b ^.—Southern Christ ian Advocate. ST JUDE’S VESTED CHOIR.
