The election returns show that Capt. D. C. Heyward has been nominated for governor by a very ha;ndsome vote. it is a remarkable v:tory, for when f l was announced he as unknown in the2 State, except to a few personal friers. He had no political record to be attac.M.1 and none upon which to make the race. He is a clean man and comes of a distinguished family and the family name is not unfamiliar in the history of the State. He is a rice planter and has+ never held public office of any kind. His opponent, Congressman Talbert, has been in public life for the past twelve years as superintendent of the penitentiary and Congressman from the Second District and could have re tained his position in all probability for another term. Capt. Heyward we are sure will make a good governor and give the State a wise and safe and business like administration. We oex tend to him our congratulatons and give him our assurance of support in his efforts to be the governor of all the people and for the advancement of South Carolina. Now that the elections are all over we want to get to other matters, such as the development of our town and county. Some more small and large industrial enterprises would help every body. A broom factory properly man aged would be a paying enterprise to the stockholders as well as give some diversity for our farmers as br.oom could be successfully grown in this county. The mill towns which we now have are sources of revenue to our farmers as they give a market for the truck farmer. Another mill would help that much more. Everybody should work together for the advancement and uplifting of the community. The executive committee met yester day morning and adopted the tabula tion of the vote in this county as made by The Herald and News as the official result. We were very careful in the returns and in the tabulation and we feel sure the figures are correct. - Von Kolnitz has been elected State Senator from Charleston County by a small majority. There are charges of C> fraud, but the result will not be changed. V It is a pity to have any charges of wrong doing in our primary, or even any foundation for them.* Senator Appelt of.Clarendon has been defeated by a small vote for re-election as State Senator from that county. We regret this. He has been a faith ful representative and is alive to the progress of his State. St. Paul Items. Cotton will soon be all open and gathered. Corn is pretty good. The pea crop is good. We had our Children's Day last Thurs day. The day was rainy, but notwith standing the rain we had a large at tendance. Editor E. H. Aull was pres ent and pocketed the program and I know he will report in full. Misses Belle and Ida Epting, of New C. berry, spent last Tuesday night and Wednesday with their cousin, Mr. L. I. Epting and family. Miss Leona Epting. of Newberry, visited her uncle's family, Mr. L. I. Epting, last Wednesday, returning to her home on the following Saturday. Mrs. Carrie Gruber and children spent Thursday night at Mr. L. I. Epting's. The Misses Waters, of Jalapa, visited at Mrs. Eustastia Livingston's last .week. Mrs. J. J. Epting, who has been sick in bed several months, is now at the point of death. Her recovery is not ex * pected. The first and second primary are a thing of the past.. - Boinest & Co. are kept busy ginning. .They put up the neatest bale of any gin I know of. They have a first class outfit and do good work. Mrs. Mat Stone, of the Newberry cot ton mill, took sick while visiting rela tives during the week the mill was stopped and has been sick ever since. But we are glad to state she is some better. The merchants at Pomaria are ahead of any place I know of in buying cotton. They pay more than anywhere else. I hope they will continue. If they should * not make anything on their cotton the additional trade will pay them. Messrs. T. B. Epting and Hayne Wedaman are visiting friends at Irmo. Miss Eula Epting will go tomorrow to spend a few days with her cousin, Miss Leone Epting, of Newberry. Push. Sept. 10, 1902. ImprovemenOt youthern BriIwaIy Dini~g Cars'. Southern Railway is making an espe cial feature of dining car service on many of its through trains, and in order to make dining cars more attractive than ever, are now equipping all of these cars with electric _ans and elec tric lights. A number of the dining cars in through lines between Atlanta and New York have been equipped with electric fans and electric lights, and these improvements will continue until all of the dining cars on the Southern system will have these advantages. There are very few roads in the world that have electric lights and electric fans in -their dining cars and this im provement will add much to the already excellent dining car service of the Southern railway. W. H. Tayloe, Asstt Gen. Pass Agent U. 8, SENATOR A. C. LATIMER. Congressman Latimer has been nomi nated for United States Senator by a very large majority. He has been con-; gressman from this, the third district, for the past ten years and has many friends in this county as his vote in the last primary as well as in former pri maries when he was a candidate for con gress shows. He is well known to our people. Childrent' Day. At St. Paul's, No. 10, on last Thurs day was a most delightful occasion and much enjoyed by those present. The program has already been published and was carried out by the young peo ple with credit to themselves and teach ers of the Sunday school. Mr. Jno. C. Aull is the Superinten dent and takes and active part in church and Sunday school work. He stated he was indebted to Mr. Thadeus Epting for assistance in arranging the program. The children occupied the morning, and after a most excellent picnic dinner the congregation reassembled in the church to listen to addresses by Rev. J. K. Efird, Rev. R. E. Livingstone, Prof. W. K. Sligh and Col. E. H. Aull. The last three had in years gone by been pupils and members of this same Sunday school. It was a real pleasure for us once again to mingle with the friends of this section and walk the old paths, but many changes have taken place in the last quarter of a century and few of the old familiar faces were to be seen. Rev. J. A. Sligh has been pastor of the congregation for the past thirty-seven years. - Prosperity News. Cotton weigher, Mr. W. T. Gibson, is kept pretty busy these days. The cot ton comes, the number of buyers in crease, and altogether things are kept lively. In the market at present are Messrs. J. L. and A. G. Wise, Wheeler & Bowers, Hawkins Bros., Bowers & Dominick, and Moseley Bros. are about ready to enter. Any of these gentle men will gladly wait on you. A young thief, or old thief, or at least some thief broke out a glass in the front window and entered Mr. W. R. Mathis' place of business. He seems to have wanted money, but if that failed him, he would take something to eat. Nothing much was missed. Several of our merchants have in creased their clerical force, and other business changes have occurred. Miss Maggie Barre is with Messrs. Bowers & Dominick, Mr. Ira Boland, of Little Mountain, and L. S. Long with Messrs. Moseley Bros., Mr. J. F. Mackey, Jr., of Georgetown, with Messrs. Hunter & Wheeler, Mr. J. B. Hartman with Messrs. G. A. Maffett & Co., Dr. R. C. Kibler, of Atlanta, Ga., with Messrs. Hawkins Bros., M'-. S. B. Hawkins with Messrs. Wheeler & Bowers, Mr. Malcolm Cook with Messrs. B. B. Schumpert & Co., Mr. Osborne Miller with Prosperity Stock Co. Mr. D. M. Langford and family have returned to Prosperity. Mr. Langford has charge of the Southern Railroad Co's. interest here. Prosperity seems to be getting herself together. September first is the real beginning of the business year. Naturally, then new enterprises and new firms select that date to begin and old concerns se lect that date to regenerate. The new bank will soon be ready to occupy its permanent quarters, but in the mean time is doing business in some building of the Prosperity Stock Co's. office. The new firm of Schumpert & Counts expects to occupy the corner, one of the three brick stores now building on Main street. In the meantime they are opening up their stock in the old Wheat building. The city hall seems to be nearing completion. It is to be supposed that before very long the city fathers will set a day for its dedication. The opening of the Prosperity Graded School, Monday Sept. 1, was very grat ifying. The teachers remain as they were last session, except that Miss Frances Rawl, of Richland county, has harge of the primary department. * * Advertised Letters.

After 50 most men seem to think a wman is nothing- more than a nurse The Dispeneary. Mr. Editor: It is well known to the people of Nem.wberry that the present writer ha:; A-;:is been in favor of the dispensary .em :Ll'tn. I me it was, and is a ques t:n of co.t.rol. The State has alwa-; hal the riIht, at any rate assumed and erc"i::el the right or control over the luer tramfc. It has never been con :ered safe for the trade in arde.t b nor any intoxicating drinks. tU be free and unrestricted as it is on other articles. The question then arose, which or what is the better or best method of control. The idea of many good people is to stop it and have no liquor sold at all as a beverage. But that is simply an impossibility. Men are too fond of indulgence in that which renders them for the time gay and happy and rich. The Dispensary System offered, as I thought, and still think, the best so lution of the question. But I did not think of the horrible excesses that have been grafted upon it, nor of the wicked abuses that have grown out of it. I never dreamed, and could not possibly dream that under this system a consta ble could become so great as to be the embodiment of the State and find it no longer possible to go wrong, no matter what he did. He is the State and is responsible to no one no matter what he does, and is not liable to punishment. This is an abuse I could not possibly foresee. There is another constantly growing in enormity which is most infamo us But of existence of this, however, I do not know; but it is reported that mem bers of the Board of Control take ad vantage of their positions to act as agents for large liquor houses and re ceive a per centage for services thus rendered. They thus act in a double capacity, officers of the State and agents for liquor makers and are paid by both. Whether there is any truth in this I do not know. But not a great while ago Senator McLaurin published such charges against a high official of the State. I want the Legislature at its next session to pass an Act making it a crime, punishable with fine and im prisonment, for any member of the Board of Control who abuses his trust for any such purpose. Any man wh( would do this deserves a place on the chain gang. This is of more importance just now than the child labor question. C. Jalapa Note. We have had a sufficient amount of rain for a while. The cotton crop in this section will be shor t Mr. G. C. Glascow and family have returned from Stomp Springs. Miss Janie Richburg, of Columbia, spent several days of last week with~ her aunt, Mrs. J. B Campbell. Miss Jessie Duncan has returned fromr a visit to Shack. Mrs. Win. Folk and children, of Georgetown, are visiting relatives and friends in Jalapa.

E. Merchant has returned from a trip to Stomp Springs. Miss Hattie Eddy has returned fronm a visit to her cousins, Mrs. J. F. Work man in Laurens. The autumn days are here again now for the trees to lose their beautiful green foliage. Mr. Editor, I will not stay long this time as I will come again. Sept. 8, 1902. J. C. 1865-1895. D)edlcated To The Confederate Campd. 'Tir :,ne! The cannon's cease to roar; The southern battle flag is furled; Its folds upon the breeze no more Will float, the wonder of the world. What then remain? The glorious States Were conquered by resistless power; Were they extinguished by the. fates To shine in some divine hour ? We form our camps our watchfire shine Athwart the musky gloom of night; We see along the extended line Of Sentinels that all is right. Oh these are dreams and dreams alone The past we're dreaming o'er and The States, our States, are dead and gone; And the old Union is no more. But comrade, let us cherish still Our dreams, for dreams are often true; Known that the unconquerable will Can make the glorious past amen ! And we will light our beacon fires On mountain top, and hill and plain; And guard, wvith soul that never tires. Camps that our foes assail in vain. Jno. A. Chapman. July 22nd 1895.
