NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Jim Tillman has announced his
withdrawal from the race foj- Con
gress from the second district. This
is the first real service this man has
ever rendered the people of South
Carolina, and we give him credit for
it.
* * *
The editors of the Columbia State
and the Orangeburg Patriot are too
nice to be spitting at each other.
Come, gentlemen, come! The very
uncomplimentary things you have
been saying of each other lately is
not in keeping with the dignity and
generous heart of either of you.
• • *
While it is always a pleasure to
us to know of the success of Gaffney
boys, we note with gratification, the
distinction achieved by our young
friends, LaFar Lipscomb and Vernon
Baker, in the oratorial contest at
Clemson. They are both deserving
young gentlemen and we feel that
they will always reflect credit upon
their worthy parents and the town
from which the} hail.

mense benefit to our teachers, and I
feel sure that you will attend Please
notify me by postal or otherwise bow
many will attend, so I cau arrange
the matter with Mr. Martin, the State
superintendent of education.

friends at Hickory Grove, and else-1

assistance rendered us during our;
recent bereavement, and for their j
many expressions of sympathy for us
in our deep sorrow. May a Higher
Power reward and bless each and
every one of them, is our heartfelt
prayer.

we were under the impression that

More Free Seed.

Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp,
Gaffney, S. 0.
Dear Sir;—In sending out my quota
of garden seeds from the department
of agriculture I have endeavored to
cover my congressional district thor
oughly. It may lie, however, that some
have been missed, so I have sent
some packages of seed in bulk to a
number of points. Knowing the facil
ities that you have for distributing
them, I accordingly directed some
time ago that 100 packages be sent to
your address. They should have
reached you by this time, hut if not
you will receive them within a few
days.
Please distribute the packages
among those that you think would
like to have them, reaching in partic
ular, whenever possible, such as may J
not have gotten any already.
Hoping to hear from you whenever b 1 !
I can be of any service to you, 1 am,
Yours very truly,
D. E. Finley.
[The seed have arrived and we will
be glad to give them out to those who
may call for them.—Ed.]

A Card to the Teachers.
Please let every white teacher no
tify me if he or she will attend the
summer school. I am specially anx
ious that we have this school, but we
will not l>e aide to get it unless a suf
ficient number attend to warrant the
expense. The State superintendent of
education writes mo unless a larger
number of teachers attend he will
have to combine two or three, or
more counties into a district sch<xd,
and conduct it in a central town. In
this case l fear our county will lose
it. If as many as forty of our teach
ers will attend I think I can secure
the school here.
These summer schools are of im-
