THEHardP s of Life HE reason for the Hard Pulls in T.fe is that sometimes we are in-the Rut and sometifles we are out of the Rut, and m6st of. the time we stay in the same old Rut too long. By so doing we lose time labor and money. Suppose we had to run our.farmns and our business in-the same Old Rut that we were in 25 years ago. Do you suppose that we could make a living? No, we could not. The aboye will apply to some of our old WA'IONS that are n and out of the Rut all .the time, Why? B eause . they are worn out or not built up trueone 6r. the other. And 'right here yrou are getting the best of your teams. Columbus Wagons ire -built true and 'veil ironed and mist say the lightest-running agon on the market. You don't have any fear when it comes > loading them, because they are built of the very best of ma -rial. The.,axles and spokes are made of the best No. 1 hickory. ow is your time to buy a good wqgon. You are done with your trm work and with a good, new wagon you can make several llars with it by habling, where, with your old wagon you are raid to load it if you have one, and with it vou are in and out -thats'dme old Rut. That will kill any team in the world to try C) pull an old wagon that you can't truck with. We have a big lot of the Columbus and Spach Wagons on . and and are pleased to make the same old prices on them for i s season only.

He gave his reasons some months ago in a columan editorial. But in his paper of August 3, after hearing the candidates speak and after -looking over the political situa tion, writes an editorial headed "Lanford," in which he says, among other things: "When the candidates for so licitor first began to stir things up in this district, Robert Martin was so far ahead that he looked an easy winner. But Martin is losing votes as the days'go by, and his losses go to Lanford, who is generally accepted as the second best man in the race. There are many, Blease and anti-Blease alike, who hold that Martin's feet are cold. If a suf ficient namber of voters come to believe that, Lanford will be in the second race with little Smoak, the only bonelto-bone Bleasite in the lot." Robert Quillen, who is sup-I porting Martin, says that Lan ford is generally accepted as the second best best man in the race., . As a matter of fact, he is considered such. by all those sup porting another. Those having a favorite candidate other than I Lanford say: "Yes, he is a good fellow and is my next choice." And as a matter of fact the universally second choice man is the strongest in i the iace always. He can and will beat any of thern, for his own following will put him into the second race, and this great second choice vote will all be for him in the second race. The situation in Greenville county, where the campaign meetings have been held, is summed up about as follows, as set forth in the Greenville News of some days ago: The campaign for solicitor in the Thirteenth circuit opened on Saturday, July 22, at Fairview, ini the lower part of Greenville county. All contestants for this office are Greenville lawyers, and all the meetings so far held have been in Greenville county, except one at Easley. The opening of the campaign found Martin in the lead. lie had been an announced candi date for several months and had covTered the territory very close ly, while the other four candi dates had done little canvassing. Daniel wvas possibly the second candidate in public favor, he1 'having been a candidate for this office four years ago. Lanford was running third. He was well known in the upper part of] the county, where be was born and reared, and in the southern part, where he had built up a strong following while he prac ticed law at Greer, but in the lower section he w as practically unknown. But with. the opening of the campaign matters became at once considerably complicated. At Fairview, the first meeting, Lanford, Harris and Sm oak took positive stands as to their pres ent and past political alignments. Mr. Mar-tin stated that he would not under any circumstances state his past or present prefer ences for Governor or any other office. Mr. Daniel ran lightly over the matter without making a state ment. Each candidate in his best imanner stated his qualifi cations for the position which he sought and made thrusts at his opponents. Mr. Lanford made a straightforward, man-to-man talk' telling the people that he was a plain man and would talk to them in a plain way; that he believed in the strict en forcement of the laws, and that if elected he would put forth every effort within his power to enforce them, without regard for friend or foe; he said that he held no secrets, and as he was offering for public office the people had a right to know how he stood in all matters political. He briefly recited how he had been born in the mountain sec tion of Greenville county of poor Sparen ts and how he had strug gled up through- difficulties and1 Shardships to secure an educa .tion and get a foothold in life. Ho stated that early in life he hdwrkcd for fonr e ar.s, th mills of Greenville cout; Y, but that this did not qualify hitn'for solicitor,' nor did he purpose to rie the political fence and use his cotton mill- experienc'e and his friekndships there to gan this or any other office. Lanford at Home Beginning Monday* JUly 24, at Tigerville and speaking' two and three times each day, the candidates covered nearly all the county during the week. Dur ing the first part of the week Mr. Lanford was inhisoldhome country and had everything his own way. All of the candidates were given respectful hearings, but it was easy to tell which way the political straws were blowing. Martin's determrina tion to stay on the fence and to hold-uD. his record of damage suit cases put him on the de fensive at the Tigerville meet ing and has kept him there ever since. Much of his speech is baken up with explanations. Be zinning with the Fairview meet ing the people began to realize that another man than Martin and Daniel was in the race; and sentiment for John Lanford has Zained momentum with every meeting. The people of this cir uit do not like the political lodurer and ducker. The strad 1ler has no place in their politics. ro them the straddling is for po itical purposes-an attempt to Iraw votes from both sides. Out of the thirteen meetings ;o far held, those at Fairview, 'ountain Inn, Tigerville, Trav det1o Re6t, afnd'Greer have been .or Lanford. Easley was a Har ,is meeting, he having been )orn in Pickens county and hay ng a number of friends in and around Easley; Lickville appear ,d to be a Martin meeting with imoak cutting some figure; Pied nont was for Martin and Lan ord: Simpsonville for Daniel ind Lanford; Conestee for Mar :in and Smoak, the other meet ngs having been non-commital, dl candidates having friends at bach. Lanford in First Place Summing up the situation rel itive to the present standing of .he candidates in Greenville ounty, we find that Martin is n1o longer the leader, but has Iropped to second or third place, with Smoak coming up from the bottom to dispute second place with him. There seems to be no question but that Lanford is leading. Martin persistently refuses to commit himself, When questioned by the voters as to his political alignment. Daniel run slightly over the matter without taking any definite stand.. Lantford, Smoak and Harris are outspoken, the first bwo anti- Blease and the latter Blease. Lan ford and Smoak bell Martin that he has his wires 3rossed and car'mot commit him self, that hethas' voted first on me side and then on the other, md he does not deny this. At Dhe opemnn of the campaign it seemed a safe het that Martin would be in the second race, probably with Lan ford, but now be has a fight for his life to get into the race second best.-Ady. Small Boy Drowned Bel vini Greer, an eleven-year >ld boy who lives three miles south of Easley, was drowvned while in swimming in a small branch near his home last Mon dlay. The littlefellow with his younger brother and several playmates were down on the brandh playing near their usual swimming hole. The older boy decided to go in swimming. not knowing that the recent rains had washed the hole out. He was unable to swim and got in to water about twelve feet deep and drowned )before aid could reach him. - An inquest was held and a verdict of accidental drowning was found.
