Little drops of water, Dropping on the land, Make the farmer feel so good, lie smiles to heat the hand. The Manning supporters will doubt less credit the governor with the, little shower yesterday. It happened dur ing his administration and he didn't Veto it. Robert Quillen, editor. and publisher of the l'ouutain 1inn Tribune, has botht the Woodruff lecord. Both Papers are in prosperous and growing towns and there is no doubt but that Quillen will be abreast of the best hustlers in them. 11e has been giving Fountain inn a good paper and he may be safely counted on to give Woodruff what. it deserves..

We have had al rready some indications as to the itt 7' te On-one side will be the lIquor and lawless crowd"hn"Partnership, and on the other the law and order and anti-liquor elements. Where is Mr. Nicholls going to stand? lie will have the opportunity of "setting himself straight" with many people and at the same time rendering a great service to his state in choosing his political associates and making a clean-cut campaign after a proper pattern. Mr. Nicholls is a strong man in this district and able to do a great deal to ward bringing about a greater respect for the law. Yet, whether or not he is strong enough to be re-elected on his own strength we will not attempt to say. Mr. Nicholls has a big decision to make soon. On it will hang largely his future career. With all of his acknowledged acumen, is lie man enough to see his duty and far-sighted enough to realize his opportunity? * a * POPLARlL SPRING NEWS. * * * * * * *** **( ** ** * ** Poplar Spring, May 15.-As we were prevented from writing last week, we must say something about the laaurens County Singing Convention which met at Poplar Springs church the 6ith and 7th. It was a great convention, and some of the best singing it was ever our privilege to hear. There was sev eral professors and other good Sing erS present and all seemed to sing like they enjoyed it. There was the two Wilkie brothers of this county and their father of North Carolina; also Abereromhie Stewart, two 'T'odds, Ball and others of Laurens county. Prof. Pearson of Spartanburg county and Prof. Iale Duncan and Mahaffey from Ander on. It was an inspiration to this couminihity. There was a large crowd present both days, especially Sunday, the crowd was estimated at 1,5)0 or 2,.:c0.

We have no object in to telling the good brothatr 01ur reasons, or somie of t hem, which we deemi sutlicient for the liresentt, for not suppllorting the Gbover'nor in Is race for' re-electIon. First.

This is a fact. Crops can't be raised without water and farmer folks are getting greatly worried over the continued dry spell. Mr. J. 1t. Finley had all arrange ments made to represent his camp at the old soldiers' reunion at ilirming ham, but was taken sick the night be fore time to start. lie as well as many friends regret that he was not able to make the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Cliff 'Cunningham and Mrs. Fhvie Bailey were up to see their sister, Mrs. Thurman Finley Sunday. Friends of Mrs. Finley will be glad to know that she and Thurman L., Jr., are getting on nicely. Mrs. J. A. Wofford spent a vleasant day Monday, with her aunt, Mrs. 10vie Power, of Laurens. The Misses Corinne and Genic Alken who have been teaching in Eden vicin ity, are spending awhile with the fan ily of Mr. J. I. Power. Miss Genie was at Sunday school where she was pleas antly greeted by all her former pu pils.. From here they will go to their home in Fairfield county. Among friends of former (lays we have greeted recently were Mrs. Lou ise Peden of Gray Court, Mrs. Olin llallew of Lisbon and Mrs. Mary Gar rett Gage of Greenville. All were looking as if life had "fallen to these in pleasant. places." Mr. and Mrs. C. A. 'Power and chil dren were callers at the home of \ir. .1. It. Finley Siunday afternoon. "Mother's Dlay" was generally ob served at our Sunday school, very few not having a ilower on and all gave a thought in their heart "to the best mother ever."
