Tins is a question we submit for th serious consideration Of the youn men of the town and community Tlvere seems to be no question as to th need of such an organization. We ar situated almost on the dividing tin between Lexington and Saluda cour ties, and neither of these counties hav a military company. Bateshurg is central point and easily accessable t almost any portion of the above name counties, as well as to a large portiu of Aiken county. Aside from the que tion of protection, which it would a ford the community in time of diso der and danger,;t is desirable as asoci; prganization and means of recreatioi In the armory could he established reading room and other social feature too numerous to mention here, cou be added in the wisdom of the ojgan zatiou. In this way the young iii? could be b ought in closer touch wit each other in consequence of wliii each would feel si greater interest i the success and advancement of tl other. We commend this question I the serious consideration of our resu ers. What we have saiil has been sai simply by way of a suggestion, in coi sequence of which we hope to see sou: P definite plan formulated for the 01 ganization of a much needed inilitar c.mpany. The Advocate stands read and willing to help in any way poss hie such a movement. ' We understood tint Frank L?\er wt 1 to have opposition, out if the c?ii r paign meeting at Orangeburg, whi< dence, Mr. McLaughlin's candidacy a huge joke.

This opinion is shared by a great numberof people throughout the State, and we confidently believe that a majority of the people will recogniz- Dr Timmerinairs eminent litness tor the exalted olliee to which he aspires.

Iio lias tieen a success in every depart,unit of life. Dr. W. II, Titiiincrman is the man to elect (Jovernor. It is announced that the North Audits ta Hotel company has made selection of the name for their beaut f 111 host el ry on the Carolina heights. 11 is "Hampton Tarrace The name was selected from litre hit mi red names ottered by eiti/.ens of Augusta and vicinity. It will he remembered that when the projectors decided to name tno hotel they adver tised in Hie city papers that $?"? would he presented to the person who would submit a nam* that would he accepted hf the director*. As a result of this advertisement half a thousand people sent in names. It l?as not been learned who suggested "Hampton Tera< e . Kx I Wlfti'lflllbnM i A MlXTHtE.

The former wns ma le in a penitentialy, the lattea was at a prayer meeting.'' e Tlie 31 oral I'll use of the Political Campaign in South Carolina. We had hoped that the present political campaign would have continued l' and ended, as it begun, on a high e plane, free from mud-flinging and i? vituperation and offensive personalities. In behalf of the sober, thoughtful citizens and Christian people of <>ur Siate. we enter our protest against the ? mud-slinging business in which some d of our candidates for otlice are indnlgn ing. Personal abuse, ree: iinination, s_ charges and countercharges by 00111. oeting candidates is mean and pusil lacitnous We have li id quite enough r" of that sort of campaign mud in South ill Carolina. It would be far better to n. dispense with the political campaign, a i if its only purpose is to all'ord r.n opportunity for a scramble for otliee. A ' ' political campaign should be clean. fair, holiest, e meat ing. conducted on i- a lngh plana of discussion, in which n the great issues beloiethe people a e j( presented, not in a way to stir up st rife I or appeal to the pa-sions ami prejudices of men, but dispassionately and intelliII gently. A man who does not poss< ste | the ability todiseiiss intelligently the [o j principles embodied in a political p! ?tI I form, is iutelleetualiy incapable of dis| changing the duties of the ollice which 1 ! I.e seeks; and tlie man who plays the r I of a political mountebank and in icjdi'ges in "Billingsgate," is morally r. unlit for any position of public trust. v We note with pleasure that some of the candidates scorn the use of Ahosi\e ^ language?and treat thru* competitors with the utmost court*.sy. We take oil' our hat to llie.se gentlemen and J thank tliein for th?ir example of gnlS tleinanly deportim lit and manly independence in the political arena.
