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

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

The public school trustees of Lex- *

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 ,

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

outsiders.

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

is willing to stand by his record and
is confident of having it vindicated
at the hands of the people. We ,()!

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

It is ft good tiling to keep one's

The assertion that women who

There is a good ileal 1 of cheap *-1

Sadness sometimes follows joy. ;

The truest, best and sweetest type
I the girl of today does not come
om the home of wealth, she steps
at from the house where is cornet
rather than luxury. She beings
to the great middle class?
lat class which has given us the
est wifehood, wnich has given
elpmates t > the foremost men of
ur time; which teaches its daugh:rs
the true meaning of love; which
raches the manners of the drawing
)om and the practical life of the
itchen as well as teaches its girls
le responsibilities of wifehood and
ie greatness fo womanhood.
A DREADFUL SIGH r
) H J Barnum, of Freeville, N. Y.,
ras the fever-sore that had plagued
is life for yeais in spite of many
imedies he tried. At last he used
iucklen's Arnica Salve and wrote:
it is entirely healed with scarcely a
car left." lleals Burns, Boils.Eczma,
Cuts, Bruises, Swellings, Corns
nd Piles like magic. Only 25c at
11 druggists.
Heaven help the man who imagtes
he can dodge enemies by tryrg
to please everybody! If such
n individual ever succeeds pass
im over this way that we may have
ne look at his mortal remains ere
e vanishes away for surely this
arth cannot be his abiding place,
low we do net infer that one should
te going through this world trying
o find beams to knock and thump
lis head against, disputing every
nan's opinion, fighting and eibevvng
and ciowding all who differ from
nm. That, again, is another exreme.
Other people have their
jpinions, so have you. Don't fall
nto the error of supposing they will
respect you more for turning
rour coat every day, to match the
:olor of theirs.
