'Tiuesday was a day of politics in pickens and about 1500 camo to town to hear Bun Tilliian and to swapl) horses.

All the candidatos aro good me) and the voters will be puzzlod to lect the bes-t man for the office, and the people of Pickens, being free and indepi':dent, it Will be diflicult. to predict the rs8ult of the Ineet inlg. Of the candidates for governor it was evident that McSweeiey aind Giry won votos and that Hoyt t Iha last groind.
