THE U. S. SENATORSHIP An anomalous condition con fronts our people in the race now ou lor the nominatioirfor the at preseut vacant seat in the United States ScuaLe. We use the words, Mat present vacant seat" advisedly, as all know that Senator Gary is merely a filler , be merely replacing the lameu ted Latimer after publicly announc ing that he would not be a can didate for electiou for the full term, The reason for this ac tion on his part is generally un derstood to be that he did not wish to butt in, or thwart the am bition of liiscousin, Ex Governor John Gary Evans in his candi dacy for the place. Do that as it may, Senator Gary is not a candidate, and the contest re solves itself into a four cornered race between Messrs. George Johnstone, John Gary Evans, U Goodwyu Illielt and O. 13 Mar tin, with so far, no formei' fac tional lines drawn. We elimi nate Mr. E. D. Smith from the race as we consider him out of the running. We will assume that some one or more of the candidates will attempt to draw factional lines for no other purpose than to en deavor to secure votes that they could not otherwise get. This being admitted to be a strong probability, wo are curious to Jcnow what our people are going to do as regards a choice among the quartet. How are they go ing to square their actions with the feelings that actuated them iu |,he stormy days of 1800 and 1892? Wi^l they vote what may be called a partisan vote, or, will they come boldly to the front, and vole to place in theUuited Stales Senate thiit man who will best represent us, casting behind them all past fractional dif ferances? Here, reader, we havo come to '?the parting of the ways". You must in this coming election either prove yourself a true citi Ken of this great Stale by cstst ing your ballot for the very best that is offered you in the way of a candida te for the august po sition of your representative in tho United States Senate irre spective of dead factional dif fereuces, or, brand yourselves partisans of a cause that served its purpose well for tho common people, but which being now practically a back number, does not appeal to the sober common sense of any voter of average in telligence. We want to soleinly warn each and every one of you against, the cry of the demagogue. You will easily recognize it, for it will be raised in the attempt to Inflame your passions, aud not to appeal to your reasou. In connection with this ccn tost, wo want to impress upon you tho fuel that the internal affairs of our State have 110 place in tho picture. You are fairly up to the proposition t lint either fanaticism or common sense shall prevail. You nrc go in# to elect u man who will rep resent tho whole people, or you are going to send to tho upper house of the United States Con gress ft politic inn who will rep resent you only when such rep resentatiou does not conflict with hisow-n selfish interests. Which representative of the two do you prefer friend; the man who has fin eye single to your interest, or, him who is ever scheming /or self advancement? We think we see in perspective your tin swer when tho votes are counted oil the night of the grith of Au *> n H. , . As to ourself. wo have care fully weighed tho qualifications of tho several candidates, and um advice to j* to vote for % G.>or$re Johnstone of NewbcffyT We believe him to be the brain, est, Abimi mm saost sss!!?ii? man in public life In tbls Slltt toduy. Some people trill doubt less advise yon to vote tor another betytu$e bets just as good, bat that doesu't go with us. !W* want the best, and we wont our W people to have the beet, and that best is George Johnstone. COUNTY JOB PRINTING. Our attention lias been called to the practice of our vartoas county officials of giving out such job work as they may be in need to one or the other of the job of priuting offices iu the city with out mulling requisition on the county supervisor for the tup plies needed. This is a practice that should be stopped. We do not know, nor do we believe that any in dividual job office proprietor in this city has a pull with any offi cial of the. city or county, but we do know that if the requisition mentioned was made, the county would be the gaiuer by at least forty per cent on the prices at present paid for job work unde? the present system. In fact, we ate not exact-lj positive, buttbuik' that the law requires that this class of woi k be done through the couuty supervisor. I'.. In auy event, the county vrill be in money by re-adopting the practice ua suggested. SPECIAL SUMMER EXCURSION via Southern Railway.

We witnessed the game on Saturday between the, Mt. Zion and Hermitage teams on the grounds of the latter, and eu joyod it vory much. A num ber of beautiful plays were made. The game was won by Hermi tage by a score of 5 to 3. One of the batters was struck by a fas*, ball, and tho small bone of his right arm broken near the wrist. Batteries ?
