With cotton open in the fields, fodder ripe on the stalk and elec tions galore, the farmor has little timo for play. p . . Pickons county counts amor.9 lor voters a big element of th( most intelligent citizenship of the state. It takes only a glance at the tabulated result of the stat(' election to demonstrate this fully. The fight is on in earnost botWe(' m John Gary Evans and A. C. Lati mer, 'I'his is raco on whieh boast ful political calculators linmd it dif ficult to settlo any positive opiniolS thiS far before the oloction. Things are crystallizing, howeve, and by noxt Saturday the result may be known with comparative certainty. local pride always plays a con spicious part in elections. This is creditablo to any conmunlity when the man put forwrd for llice measures u) to the requisitos of oflice, and there never was a timoj more opportune for tho assertion of the priviltge of hel1ping good nu1 to places of usefu1lnoss and trust. 0** Pickons showed up so w-ll in the last election that politicians are seeing the weight of our vote as a factor in state politiCs. Pickens County practically cast the deci ding vote in the late race for state Superintendent of Education, and she may decide other results in the second primary. This approxt mate full vote is gratifying for many reasoin, not the least among which is the prestige and linpor tance it adds to the county. 0*0* Some of the newspalpers of the state would have us lOlieve that the oloction of 0 B. Martin to the office of State ;iSuporintendent of Education will prove a public ca lamity. A.ll the publbc school so~nse is njot bottled up in Mr. MoMahan, and Mr. Martin is as young and ac twve and patriotic as Mr. McMahan and perhaps quite as well informed on alj matters appertainhing to the omice, No doubt the business of .t office will be carried on with as good efTect as under Mr . lahan, and we do beliue Mr. M..ahan has worked retorm in school matters of South Carolina. When the Southern Railway completes the scheme of double tracking its line from Atlanta te Charlotte, this county will have added to her attractions the die, tinction of having within her limiti a p)art of' the truuk line of one 01 the greatest systems of railways ii the world. Every improvemen in augurated by this railroad moan some advantage to Pickens county and every element of growvth in thi county means positive benefits t the people. The legitimate ad vancement of any enterprise mn: a corresponding advantage to th~ people touched by it, and wh'len th progress is represented by rail roadIs, the benefits to ho dorive ought to prove of lasting quality. W. Jasper Talbert is essentially politician-one of the smothiest at ticles in that line that eor ''cam down the turnpike." Hey ward is i the midst of his list p)olitical figh~ with a lead that ought to flatter an candidate for any oflico with suc] an array of worthy comipeti tors Some predict the result in Hey ward's favor with assurance, othe: good guessers shake their heads ir doubt. This much to our mind briefly stated, is certain;i Talberi is hoping and mooving for suoccui with deep schemes, well laid. I: th. event of him election and e. election two years hence, as Gov, ernor, he will offer as the most for. taidable candidate possible to im, Itnagine in South Oarolina politioi against 13. B. Tillman for the Uni, ted States S3enate four years hence With the State organised, himnsel then Goveinor, he would have thi leverage on any other candidate \Vatch The second primary election talli ## the ninth day of September, Picketus county polled a handeotut ypt0 on A###St PA 4 k# 3 IA ha Mai f the duti*C #i isn ship. The handsome vote polled I in the first election evidences that i Piokens county is growing and I moreover that her people are tak- i ing a lively interest in the affaire < of local government. The succoss- I ful candidates are grateful for the confidence of their follow citizens and the defeated candidatos have r accepted the decree of the poople r with grace undaunted an(f aro inl, line for tho work of uphlol(hImg and tl maintaining tho printcil)18 of the So primary system as a Collnilo (Ity. ri Thero is no sulkin g inl camp. Good p mnn have bteenl ('hosel anl(d while a p socond race is I(ecossaly in order C to (lotermino fPoil7(0 of the t candidates for s,;ome0 of the oflices, a thogontlemnle who, by the cir- ( ctlnostan(0'8 of the first olection, It are drta iiinto this second race so are making the supplomontal call- 01 piigi on their nworits and on the sc broad pri nciplos of triue politics. mI All in all the canpaign has been ti conduct(ed VigorouKly but. courto, t oiusly, s) fa' ts the caudidatOs atro gi ConcerlIned, yt there has been it enough of spirit, ilijectel into it to w make it inost interesting. It is a w crodit to Pirkonls county people ft that after the heat of the political d battlo they havo always had the W courage and the charity to bury ti their )olitical differeoncos and join o with on)e accord in helping the ad- h inin ist at ions to follow to be io li successes they havc) always provl)n. JII the second primnary let every h voter make it part of his ditty to y comllo to the polil iad exercise his high privilegos according to the right conceptiOns of his duty as a n citizen. li it DON'T FAIL TO VOTE. C " Every vote counts one and reg isters the free will and opinion of ti the voter and gives the expression a of his sovereignty in all matters of 0 government, It is the part of wis- i dom to come to the polls on elec- s tion day and exercise this privi- 1: lege and meet this duty. Pickens n county did not poll her full vote on August twenty-sixth but on p September ninth the opportunity t will be given, in the real test of s the public mind, to show what the 1 majority of the voters want. Let every voter, duly qualified, come i to the polls on that day and do his duty. THlE SCHOOL COMMISE10ONER'S OFFICE. The oflioo of Superintendent of Education is open to the field. Some excellent gentlemen have of fered for the place, any one of which would carry out the duties of the offico thoroughly and with fidelity. Trhe late Mr. Bright has left a record in the administration of the affairs of that offico that any of them would do well to hope or strive to emulate. ThIe unexpired term will be filled by Mr. B. Frank Freeman, nominally, while it is understood that the perquisites of the office will fall to the Missee Bright who will continue to do the routine work of the office until the beginning of the next term. In the soleotion of a genitlem.an to .fill the next term of this ollico, some of the best (tialified men)I inl the county having ollerodl, the people of P 1ken counlty nieed havo 110 fear but that their school initerests wvill_bo prIotec(ted.
