The large congregation that as sembled at Bt*don’s Baptist Church on last Sunday morning, notwith standing the exceedingly severe day, to attend his funeral, was a mani festation of their love and respect for him. His funeral sermon was preached by his life long friend. Rev. S. W. Ackerman, from Rev. 14:13: “And 1 heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me,. Write.

SOON THE COUNTY POUTKAl POT Will BEGIN TO BOIL IN COILE TON-SOME VACANCIES. Although this is generally spoken of as an “off year” in county poli tics. there will be enough doing in Colleton to interest the voter^of the county. The following officers will be to elect: Auditor, treasurer, pro bate judge, senator, representative, county commissioners and magis trates. The incumbents of these of fices will hardly have a "walk-over, as there will likely be several candi dates for each office. While no defi nite announcements have been made, of course, it is generally understood that certain persons will aspire. Auditor Patterson will stand for re-election. He has held for one term. P. M. Buckner, who was such a close second two years ago, will oppose Mr. Patterson, and Madam Rnmor says H. W. DuBois will again be.in the race. B. M. Murray will also again enter the race, it is re ported. For treasurer R. E. Jones will stand for re-election and will be op posed by W. S. Marvin. J. L. Lyon* of Smoaks is also spoken of as a can didate. It is not known if Col. Jno. I). Ed wards expects to offer again for the office of probate judge. The Colonel is in bad health, and unless he geta much stronger, will, have to leave the conduct of the campaign to his friends. Capt. C. C. Tracey and P. P. Hiott, a son of M. Hiott, formerly probate judge, arc spoken of in con nection with this judgeship. Perhaps the greatest interest cen ters'in the race for senator. Sena tor tiriffin will be a candidate to suc ceed himself. Mayor E. I^adson Flshbume, it is reported, has a sena torial bee buzzing in his bonnet, and something has been hinted of a pos sible aspirant for promotion in the Hon. D. L. Smith, who is now a member of the house. Whoever en ters the race it will doubtless be a warm one, as Senator Griffin has many strong friends in the county. It is hinted that no member of the house will stand for re-election. Mr. Way, it is said, does not care for further political honors. Mr. Rob ertson has not given out his inten tions. and Mr. Smith will perhaps run for another office. Dr. M. R. Campbell is possible new timber. Mr. Smoak and Mr. Platt will doubtless succeed themselves as county commissioners. There will probably be more defi nite announcement in a few weeks, or about the time of court. COTTAGEViLLE SCHOOL VISITED. County Superintendent of Educa tion, Black, accompanied by Joseph 1. Moorer. Esq., paid an Official vis it to the Cottageville seho'4 Thurs day of last week. This school they found, in excellent condition, being taught by Mrs. Ruth Ackerman, as sisted by Mias Annie Coppedge. Both . Dr. Black and Mr. Moorer made ad dresses before the school. Dr. Black made one of his c h o i a e a t speeches, urging upon the children the way of correct school life and the obtaining of an education Mr.. Moorer dealt particularly upon the High School Act, which he explained in general, urging the people of this section to avail themselves of the privileged of this act as early as pos sible. These addresses were atten tively listened to by the children of this school and a number of the pat rons who were present. SOLiaiOR PEURIFOY IN CHAR LESTON Solicitor John H. Peurifoy re turned from Columbia, where he has been in attendance upon the sea- sion of the General Assembly, Sat urday afternoon, and left Sunday afternoon in order to be in Charles ton in time for the convening of court Monday morning.
