MAYOR RHETT NOW LEADING CANDIDATE This Is (he Opinion of One Who Has Kept Tab on the Senatorial Campaign. Following is an interesting interview to Tho Clieenvillo News by Mr. Jas* Hoyt, the Columbia correspondent to Tiie News and Courier. Mr. Hoyt was in Greenville n few clays last week and when Approached made the following remarks: "Mr. Khett. is making a splendid im pression whorevor lie goes," said Mr. Hoyt last night. "I attended the meet ing at Union Saturday and Columbia yesterday and at both places be gained friends and votes. At Columbia B friend of mine said to me that before the meeting he had said he did not think he could vote for Khett but after hearing him speak he went up to Mr. Khett and declared be would not only vote for him but do anything ho could to help him. "If all voters in the State could hear Mr. Khett and neo what U man he is be would be elected on the first ballot, de clared this man. "In my opinion," said Mr. Hoyt, "the only thing Mr. Khett has to fear at this time is that some of those who would like to see him elected may not think he has any chance and for that reason they may become indifferent or may even cast their votes for another candidate in order to defeat some other candidate. To all such I would say that if my judgment is worth any thine; at all they are losing a splendid chance to put in the senate a splendid man, for I have kept up with the situation and Mr. Khett is gaining every day and is re garded as one of the leading candidates. "The fait that Mr. Khett came out late has been interpreted by some op posed to him as an indication that lie cannot win but there is no good logic or reason in Ihis, Mr. Khett was well known all over the State before lie be came a candidate for tho senate, and he had his friends who went instantly to work when he made his announce ment, lie was known as a safe busi ness man, well equipped and a student of affairs. His campaign speeches have served to strengthen tho already g.I impression ho had made through out the State. The fact that nearly all the other candidates are attacking Mr. Khett, not really because of his politics but because be is strong, is of itself sufficient indication of bis growing strength. "Reports that Khett is not in it are put out by those who don't want him in it, and that is all there is to it. To the people of the up-country who may not know Mr. Khett so well you can say he is a sound Democrat, a most conscien tious public servant and a man of the highest character and ability." After a two weeks' visit to his father, Mr. .). C. Miller, of the I lopewell sec tion, Mr. W. I?. Miller was in the city Monday afternoon returning to his home in Austin, Texas, where he has been engaged in business for the past ten years. lie gave us a pleasant call while in the city and from now on Tho Advertiser will 00 a weekly visitor to Mr. Miller's adopted home." While here Mr. Miller traveled over a considerable portion of the 't?te and he says that the crop prospect is much better than; in Texas, taken as a whole.

"Colum bian" Flour is made from the pick of the wheat. The sweetest, lightest, cleanest and most perfect (lour is "Columbian" Flour. Try it. There's a reason quality will tell. J. S. Machen & Co. cCOR The Piano and Organ Man A few words which you cannot help believing; unless you are prejudiced. SELL AS RENOWNED PIANOS for tone, quality, elasticity /-J| of touch and skilled workmanship as are made. I have no schemes to sell a piano. When I sell a piano it is direct from the factory to the purchaser, there being no unnecessary ex pense. The price is the very lowest possible and the profit shorter than of any dealer in this section, I do not have pianos drayed around and left on trial, which adds to the cost and the buyer pays it. If you know these facts and do not buy of me (for I sell for less) then you simply prefer to pay from $75 to $150.00 more, whHi is nothing but robbing one's self or of your loved ones. LET Mr: TELL YOU ABOUT THESE PIANOS The Starr McPhail Richmond Chase Peerless Electric And several makes of Player Pianos.
