The price of cotton at present is making the farmers feel good and s puts money into circulation. Since some news has come to our cars in reference to the coming municipal election we deem it in order and for the good of our town and community to ally ourselves with the best side and produce our reasons with a view to influencing others, if needs be. We are glad of competition believing it to be conducive of higher aims and attainment on the part of the candidates and a means of developing the power of a wise choice in the votes. It so happens that the candidates for mayor have been tried and are willing to be tried again and we pre- i sume that both are willing to let ' their past administrations be used a? a meani of j.idgii ; -he'? romi * ative "it;i( .

Poth Ml*, are progressive in their purposes as | t regard to road building and street j J improvement but Mayor Bates show- 1 ed superior ability in the be-1 * ginning by securing a man like chief , of police, Darby, and an improved 1 road machine to accomplish his purpose in this line. What have we seen as a result? A steady, continuous economic sensible improvement. No work done spasmodically or wasted and the work continues. Our electric light system has been improved and other needed implements have been added to the towns property. Our present mayor has shown himself more capable in rounding up law breakers and in execu- j , tion. We miss from our streets the ! faces of many whom we had the strongest reason to believe were 1 nothing more nor less than walking j blind tigers. And some very ques- 1 tionable dives that we had in town < are no longer in existence. Vagran- ( cy is a thing of the past and upon , the whole our town is as well gov- ( erned as any municipality in the state and superior to the average. THE CHAUTAUQUA. " 3 THE CBAUTAUOUA HEBE THE LAT ? TEB PART Or JURE WILL BE A BRILLIANT AFFAIR. V h Johnston is to have a Chautauqua the coming June. This is glad 'p news to the people of this prosper- a ous and growing city, who place the t things that minister to the social, * mental and moral phase of our com- h munity life above the selfish greed I ot mere commercialism. For this 11 splendid enterprise we are indebted t, to the public-spirited citizens who have taken the initiated snd secured n f I the interesting and attractive proIV gram. It is now the duty of the in- tj telligent citizenship of this city and )*< community, who justly appreciate the fact that there are some things in life better than mere dollars and tk ents, things which tend to elevate nd uplift, to move without delay to d* tie support of this 'movement. ^ We must co-operate with the ex:cutive committee and let us do it inselfishly and ungrudgingly. A |\ Jhautauqvu enterprise is not a mon- * ;y-making scheme; it should not be iragged to the low and sordid plane >f commercialism. Of course, we d vant to break even and we can do it >y a small investment that not only >rings present profit but will yield j[ in annual compound interest in a ligher, nobler and more intelligent :itizenship. Just to mention a few >f the good things: There is the Alkahest Band and Orchestra, a select combination of irtists and soloists, which makes the inest Chautauqua musical attractijn iver offered in the South. It is composed of ten people and was specally organized for this class of engagements. It is equipped with >rass instruments for street concerts nd full orchestra for stage music, t has been engaged for the week. Then, there is the Otterbein Male Quartet, one of the finest quartet agregations ever brought South, vhich has also been engaged for the ^ intire Chautauqua. Then, there is Si he inimitable Bob Taylor, who ;tands in a class all to himself and ivho needs no words of comment for everybody knows him. Dr. Sears, one of the most popular and successful lecturers on the platform has been engaged for two lectures and Sid Landon who stands without a superior, it indeed he has a rival, as an impersonator, has been secured for two entertainments. Then, there is Walden, the magician, and the information comes from those who know that he is the greatest master of the magic art on "Tthe lyceum stage. t an THE LAM IN THE AUTO 2 lui Miss Mary King, equipped for an od automobile ride, stood at a front ? window waiting. She was a country girl with the glow of health on her He cheeks who had come to the city the an' lay before and stopped in one of a jn'~ ha1 row of stone front houses, but she hat famtlv Kh? hr>a navor 1-iHHan ' .>: ? - ?* vi * uiu n an automobile. Tom was to call wa or her at 10 o'clock and at 10:30 he rer tad not arrived. Mary was growing |0 mpatient. fav Suddenly a beautiful machine turn- nl ?d a corner, came up the street and gta stopped in front of the house. In it i was Cousin Tom?who else could it a be??a handsome young fellow, who Soi got out and was about to mount the tIn steps when he looked up at tlie mini- fit ber above the door, then turned to i the next house. Mary, naturally as- ma suming that he was making a mis- no* take, rushed to the door to call him. tin Too late; he had disappeared. inj No matter. He would discover his of mistake and return. She would wait mil for him on the stoop. She stood pis there a few minutes admiring the ex< beautiful spick and span dark green mo machine with its polished brass to mountings. It looked so pretty that till she thought she would go down to pet It. When she got there a step in- Kii to it was so easy and tlie cushioned fan seat so tempting that she got in and his sat down. bre Now. the gentleman who had gone glr! in next door was not Cousin Tom at bin ill. hut Harry Craven, one of those ?> ?raceless scamps who was not likely the o throw an adventure over his Sea shoulder. Front the window of his rep dub?he had called to ro, lenish his ant igar case?he was surprised to see disi i pretty girl sitting in his machine spii vith as much composure as if she S1U >wned it. lie was going for a spin t ind wished she would stay there. V, On seeing hint approach the lady milled, put out her hand and said: I 'Why, Cousin Tom, what lias made enc 'on so late?" ily, "I.ate?" has "Yes. And why did you go into gra 6? 1 wrote you to come to 38." old "Well, now! Upon my word. Sixes arn .nd eights are much alike. But this Me: s no way for cousins to greet one i ed nother." And the rascal bent for- , eng /ard and kissed her through her mei ell. Then he took his seat beside to is newly found cousin. dea Now commenced a sparring on the : age art of the cousinlesa Mr. Craven to stai revent detection. Ho skillfully seci voided committing himself on any- ' to hing till he had learned something tod, bout it from the lady. He gathered a rl hat he was expected to take her to tioi is father's residence in the suburbs, wa: L so happened that his own father Ived in the suburbs, and his mother uo! nd sisters and himself as well. He ron) lined his course homeward. Just before luncheon Mrs. Craven ratj nd her daughters were sitting on the / ,,] ont piazza, engaged at reading and pj(j| eedlework, when up the roadway to n.;i le house came Harry in his auto, a of t oung lady beside him.
