SANDERS OUR FAULT Don't blame the Post Office. It was our fault that you didn't get your last week's issue of The Sun until Monday of this week. We had it ready for you, and you should have received it in the mail last Wednesday, before the Thanksgiving Holi day. Most of the Sun force left early Wednesday morning for a trip to Alabama, and at this point, I'm not exactly certain what happened. All I know is that the papers, which were supposed to be delivered to the Post Office Tuesday night, did not get there until Saturday afternoon. We apologize, and will try to see that it doesn't happen again. ELECTION THOUGHTS In a letter to the editor of The Journal, weekly newspaper of Williamston, Pelzer and Pied mont. John C.
