Hut the most Important one will b.^ who is the best man for the respective position- This State has some unexceptionally bright and able men but the difticulty to be encountered is who will do the electing,the nbble.or rank an I lile , or the representative men of our country. The trouble heretofore has has been that the representative man stays at home and does not vote and the election is left to the candidate who spends the most money. a 1/ f X//II in /^li/\ t/*f< rti\i; iuuh ^nu.vc.

CITIZENS D3 YOUR DUTY. Instead of the la ws of our State becoming gradually better, general conditions show that they are growing worse. Why the cause? It certainly is not the judges for they are as far as can be learned men ot the highest integrity and stability It is not the fault of the prosecuting attorneys, fur they are surely doing their best to make a reputation, SXt\ I WufA 1*3 K if" >*?? I 1.) - ml UIIOIC 13 UUU UIIIJT UIH- I U cl-M >11 it I) 11' solution why our laws are growing weaker. The whole fault is with the jury. Our Juries to-day genera'ly speaking are inule up of men who do not earn as a general rule more money than is paid a man for jury duty. Our business men when called upon to serve their State and county make all kinds of excuses and generally wind up by getting a doctor's certificate stating tiiat they arc not io a position to serve, simply because they can make more money by staying at home.

The whole truth of the matter is just exactly what ?s written above a.id,' not until our representative men serve thei: | country and State when called upon to act, will South Carolina or anyother State in the Union have their ; laws obeyed and criminals be punish - , ed for their crimes.

NOT SO BRAVE (Ficom 1 he State) "I did not have the fear of alligators that some people seem to have," said President Roosevelt, referring to li.'s bathing i? the Louisiana ponds At the risk of being denounced as a "nature faker" we venture to put forward the assertion that ti.ere is not on record in the history of all time a single instance of a man being bit by an alligator in the waters of t he Southern States. The Southern alligator is not Ll13 vicious hruie that many persons, uninformed of the habits of the 'gator, imagine him to be lr. lower South Carolina it is not an uijwjiiiluDu sigut 10 sec small ooys plunge into the river at a spot where j the moment before the head of an alligator was to be seen pushing its way through the still waters. Sir. Roosevelt's calm indifference toward' the saurians was id greater than lias been displayed by dozens of little nigger" boys on dozens of occasions.
