Columbia had a grand voting contest this week. Parents the country over must mourn and sympathize with the scores of families bereaved through the awful disaster when the Collinwood publio school was burned. The lesson of the matter is that the same tiling may happen in any community at any time and no expense is too great and no precaution too elaborate to prevent it. This is a rich country and if Kruunu were $ mo a square loot, mere should never be a school house built more than two stories high.

Lever has at last succeeded after a hard light to get the postal authorities to put a mail car on No's 7 and 130 between Columbia and Augusta. Mr. Lever deserves great credit for this work as it is sorely needed by the merchants and others. If any of the members of the winding up commission are sent, to jail by .junge friicnara for contempt, it is hoped that they will be sent t'> Charleston. where their comfoit can be effectually provided for. There's no placelike Charleston?News & Courier Those Thaw lawyers are certainly versatile beings. Having succeeded at great expense in convincing the Jury that Ilarry was crazy enough to lock up, they are now preparing to prove that he is sane enough to be turned loose. The meeting of the ladies to form a Cemetery Association was held last week and judging from resolutions passed the good work will rapidly take shape and the excellent work of the energetic ladies prove a blessing to our town. Everybody will want to know how every candidate stands in regard Ito every detail of the present whisky scandals and every man that runs for office will have to tell every person he talks to, everything.
