SEPT. 8. 1911. v 11 e Regardless of all that has been y written of it, the sensational trial go- e ing on in Virginia can not Beat?ty f Cobb as a subject of interest. c ? F There is being a good deal said r and written about the democrat who ? can beat Taft next fall. We would like to know if there is any real good * democrat who couldn't lick him c with one hand tied behind his back. r L t The public school trustees of Lex- * ington county have recently formed 5 an association, the purpose of which N IS nrnmn?. L1" - a vv |/tuuiui& WC llliucai Ul pUUHC schools. Good for our trustees, we can't too much emphasize the importance of good schools. ' Batesburg should increase her water pupply, and sell water for home 1 use. There would then be some income on our water works investment. As it is there is none. Then too the great inconvenience of it is < an important consideration. There has been a recent report , cut re; Sherman's priv > and lapubl; v diarj Shows v.st was not i s.. pathy with the ada.inist-ation's i y of reconstruct u. in the If this b' true it shows a pha Sherman's life which heretofore had v not been appoved by the people of ' the South. In addition to the Graded school 1 building now in course of construe- " tion and several nice residences al- 1 ready erected, and to be erected, there have been built in Batesburg i four handsome stores recently. This i is our evidence of progress which i ^ ? . . . I ate mubi appropnate. ana wMich i calls forth frequent comment from i outsiders. ~ t Quite a good deal is being said in 1 the papers about the probability of f Chief Justice Ira B. Jones entering J the race for Governor next summer, t The Chief Justice has been credited t with having been a good politician before he went upon the bench. He doubtless would make a competition to be reckoned with should he enter the race. This much can be said, the race would not lack inter- t est with him as a competitor of Governor Blease, in view of the tilts i the Governor has had with the Supreme court about the appointment 1 of special judges. Before the situation can be clear- ' ed, however, we are yet to hear j 1 from ex-Senator Manning, ex-Lieu- ' tenant Governor, McLeod, Railroad Commissioner Richards, Attorney General Lyon, and probably others, tl From present prospects there will A be a hot tjme in politics next sum- pn mer, with th* race for Governor at- iu trartina - ? -? < * p% ?MV illdlC Ut aticii- .

(-(J THE ADVOCATE. I>F as Under its present management W1 The Advocate has ex'sted for two <i?! months, during which time we have endeavored to give the reader as newsy paper as circumstances would . 1 permit. It is evident that we have not given as good service as we should have liked to, or as good ser- s vice as we purpose giving you in the future, for we have 'abored at aj disadvantage through the dull sum-iHtl ?er months, with very little remu-1 eration for our service, and had we tl o hopes of your kindly and liberal f< upport in the future, would consid- v r past efforts an utter failure. tl In about two week we propose cl ommencing a subscription cam- tt >aign by which we anticipate ad- f< ing to our list of subscribers one it housand or more new names. In el he meantime we ex pect to put out The Advocate in a new dress of | ^ >rctty bold type faces, both in the j, j lews columns and in the advertising ( < loace. This we are sure will please js >ur readers, an i advertisers will be jivm a service that will more than ^ double the value of the space used. t} During the past week we have ad- ,(] ied to our job department about |>1,000 worth of type, material, and j printers stock, and we are now pre- (| sared to serve our customers to as {| lice job printing as the well equipp- j sd office of the city, and in many nstances at lower prices. With this the beginning of the >est business season of the year for 1> he country weekly newspaper, the nanagement of this paper will be >' mder the strict watch-care of the' n ditor himself, who, for the past s ix i h rears, has had some experience in > very department of the work from ?' loor sweeper to editor (very little ? ; ?f the latter however), and we ex-1 A >ect to serve Batesburg to the best 11 lewspaper in this section of the d >tate. 1; We kindly ask that you lend us a lelping hand by contributing to our r :olumns, which are open to all, such natter as will pro\ e interesting to | he reading public. We assure you hat we will endeavor to renumerate rou for such service in as liberal vay as possible. Happiness does not consist in where we are but what we are; in character not condition.
