N. H. &UL . ELuoR A GOOD MOVE. The decision by the City Councii at its last meeting to build a two story brick building as headquarters for the Excelsior Fire Company is a step in the right direction, and we hope to see the contract let and active work begun in a short time. The building, as pro posed, is needed now, and will be needed more when the norse hose wagon is in stalled. The Fire Company ought to Lave it and the town ought to own it The site is a good one, convenient and centrally located, and a structure of this kind here, besides its usefulness, would much improve the appearance of the town and refi ct credit upou the progressive council which made it pos sible. By all meaus let the work be pushed, and it will not be long until Ne wberry will have as good fire protection as any town its s1ze in this country. It is only about two weeks now un til the opening of the State campaign. More than sixty candidates are already announced for tne various positions and no doubt there will be more, who are at present waiting for their friends to urge them a little more strongly. The party composed of Senatorial and Congressional candidates will m-ke its first appearance at Columbia on Tues day, Jwue 17th, winding up its round at Winusboro on the 21st of August. The candidates for State offices will start at Sumter and finish at Colum bia. These will be in Newberry o July 8th, and the Senatorial party on July 29th. It is to be hoped tb ' the campaign this year will be devoid of personali ties and that the candidates will en deavor to show their fitness for the offices to which they .spire rather than the unfitness of-their opponents. The double series of meetings will give to each time to present fully his views on all issues which are likely to con front a man in the office which be seeks and to show his own peculiar fitness - for the position. In fact, we hope and believe the time will not be long com iog in Aouth Carolina when a man who indulges in abusive personalities on the stump will not be put in office by our people, and the quicker they demand tlikt the campaign shall be conducted on a hlgh plane the better-it will be for system, the state and all concerned. The rumor each day becomes more per sistent that President Roosevelt has t en dered Senator McLaurin 'a position as Judge of the Court of claims, and it is said that the President is sick of the hope - of establishing a white Republican party in South Carolina, and when McLaurin has been cared for he will pay no more attention to the "McLaurin Commercial Democracy " Should Mr. McLaurin accept and send in his resignation from the position which * he now holds before the primary election, matters would become somewhat com plicated in this State. No doubt the candidates for his position are eagerly wthng his every move. ~The appointment of W. .L Harris apostmaster in Charleston, is said to -he.ve been due entirely to relations ex Istinig between him and District Attor ney Capers. T- e appoiinrent was s - surprise to t he (Charls-ston people and to the old-line Republican's in this State, who had hardly regarded Harris as even a possibility. It seems that Capers has become distributor of Fed eral patronage in'South Carolina. The Charleston Eiposition will close tomorrow night. Those who have at tended have been well repaid for their ' money ard their time. Those who have not, missed an opportunity that will not soon return. Excelusior Items. The regular service next Sunday af ternoon at 4 o'clock. The grain ini this sectirn will be short. The grain was sown late and the weather too dry. Our farmers are busy at work now The cotton is about hoed out and grow inlg nicely. Mrs. Thompson Yonng spent last week with her father's family, Mr. A. A. Nates. Rev. Jas. D. IKinard and family, of Leesville, visited his mother's family here last week. Some of our people attended com munion service at Cannon Creek - church on Sunday. We had the pleasure of attending the Children's Day exercises at Zion chutch on last Saturday. As usnal the exercises were interesting throughout and was presided over by the able Su perintendent of the Sunday School, ~ Mr. E. P. Cromer. In the afternoon . Rev. W. A. Lutz and Rev. J. S. Abe r crombie delivered interestin;g-aad resses . on Sunday School work. Both of the addresses were good and we-re lis.tened to by a crowded cburch. We always enjoy the Children's Day exercises at Zion, the singing is always delightful and the music sweet. Glad to see our friend "Push" in attendance and he' s was in a good humor shaking hands with his many friends. Sigma.

Health of our section very good with the exception of some dysentery, but none of a serious nature. Mr. Sam Kinard of the Newberry cotton mills visited relatives in this section last Saturday night and Sunday. The newly elected council of Bach man Chapel church were installed last . Sunday. Mr G. W. Kinard was added to the council. The weather was quite favorable for farm work last week, and the farmers made good use of the time The prin cipal part of the cotton will be tbinned after this week. Corn and cotton are both looking very well. We find that day labor on the farm hai almost, become a thing of the past There was communion services at Cannon's Creek churcb last Sunday Our R. F. D. route has been supplied with the water proof boxes. l'hey are very convenient; but we are still wait ing on our daily. Don' put yourselves in too big a burry, dear friends, we have been waiting patiently and can still wait. Owing to the high price of provisions and horse food, the cost of making this croy will far exceed that .4 many past years. Now it bel-oovet every one of us, es-pecially we w bo are bu ing with C borrowed money and o1i b-ok accounts to cut our expensps ,s 1o v as possible. The reas"n we mzQt0a these facts at this special time is, we can see some dauger confronting us. This is another campaign year, and a t campaign year means a year of extrav agance, or at least that has been our past experience. Barbecues and pic- t nics continue for a good while almost every day, and every time you hear of a barbecue or picnic it means a whole lot of provisions wasted. Now shall we continue tbis lustful waste which, most certainly, if kept up will bring on woe ful want. We hope not. Bacon is very high, and hogs throughout the country are not very plentiful. In the face of this fact we are more opposed to bar te cues this year than we have ever been before. Those people we owe want money, and if we continue th epractice of extravagance we will never be able r to pay them. What I am saying may not amount to a row of pius. But, nev ertheless, it is true, and now is the time to present these facts. While there may be a few barb -cue-s and pic 'ics, dear friends, please don't encour age them Let's refrain from having so many. Don't suck the candidates to r d ath. There's alot of them going to be left. This thing of begging candi dates to contribute to e ery little need, and poking bank notes at them to be endor'el ought to be stopped At the pres.. '!travagant way of campaign a ing t he success'ul cantdidattes are almost losers, for it takes a la--ge per cent of their salaries to place back what they have paid out. L'-t's not have a cam pagn meeting in t-very township; it is too expensive. We know each other 1 well en-.ugh, and let's have less wire puling. WVe hope the county execu tve committee will take these thoughbt into considerat ion. Mrs. H. R Epps is spending a while ~ a with her daughter and son-in law, Mr and Mrs. 8. A. Rikard, in Long Line. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. L. B. Epps' little daughter, Bonnie, who has been sick with dysentery for the past wee~k don't seem to improve. Well, boys, have vou been to the [nterState and West Indian Ex position U in Charleston? Yes, a great many of you have been there, and witnessedA very many of the wonderful works of nature and art of man. But, there is another wonderful dis play on hind, and perhaps it is some thing that will tickle your fancy and F ive you a little more lasting pleasure than whbat you have seen in Charleston. 1 nis grand display is going on now very day, except Sunday, in the big orner store on Main street just oppo 'it.e the Newberry hotel. On the in-s terior you will find 0. M. Jamiesoni, with his staff of polite clerks, exhibit ing a full line of the most beautiful atterns in men's atnd boys' suits that your eyes have ever beheld. And to :e there and see the crowds carry ing ut these goods is evidence enough to ihow that the prices are below the av- 0 ~rage. Whby trade is like runnrg wa er is an easy probleun to solve. It is a] imply because it always hunts the r 'lowest" places. You professors and ~ itudents who are looking forward to a ~rand time this summer at your con rentions and a-sociations, and all you ~ ~andidates who want to face the public n style will find it to your interest to r risit the store of 0 M. Jamieson. Be ias got something that will make you ook neat. But the're's just a lot of T eople who want to dress neat and look tice besides the professors, students n ,nd candidates, who will all find it to v, heir advantage to visit the big display 'f clothing at 0 M. Jatmieson's store. We made a brief visit over in the ,ong Lane section last Sunday and pent a short while with our brother, gr iA. Rikard, friends J. H Kibler and te t. E. Hunter. These were all our s It eighcors who moved away from our bc action last winter. We are glad to t' se that they are located in a good com- ri1 unity on nice farming land. The ev lace is known as Mr. Calvin K. Baker's I I [ayes place; it is very productive land, vii nd we trust that our friends with all th i rest of the community will make Jdr c>od crops. Westopped in ashort while 2 our return home to see Mr. C. K. c iker and family. Mr. Baker is a veryi ituisi amradi elzn n atuisi amran sraiig;i >od profits from his farm. We have a as t of kindAre.d and friends in this om- 't.. 2unity, and we hope soon to be able t; 3ake our visit a little longer with then o that we can have a little more to sa: bout Long Lane. While we are writin we learn tha ittle Bonnie, wnom we mentionei bove, hs taken quit- ill, and Mr. Epp as summoned a phvsician. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Epps' li1 tle daugh er, Bessie, is also sick. Mr. Editor, we don't blame you fol aying the State Democratic Conven ion wasa representative body. Larell t was, when it took the legislativi 3atter into consideration and passed i esolution favoring the old worn ou .hild's Labor Bill. That should b aid aside as a dead issue. We shoul< ,11 feel thankfal that we live in a frei ountry, and it is time to stop bother ng after parents about how they ar o work their children. Everybody i iot situated alike; nor can every bod, o just alike. We venture the asser ion that there is nobody who has i etter feeling for children than wi tave; but every man and woman ha o provide for their own household. Very respectfully, May 27, 1902. T. J W.
