an office f
—We are still opposed to the con
vention plan and the civil service
plank, and we do not care who
knows it, and expect to fight these
questions hereafter, but expect to
vote the ticket just as it stands, al
though it has no Peo Dee water in
it.
^-We have good rains and cotton
has improved very much and we
never have seen it better fruited
with bolls and offers than it is now.
We look for a full crop, the reports
to the contrary notwithstanding.
One or two farmers near by have
a good deal of open cotton and we
suppose lacking will commence now
soon.
—The health of oar community is
good for the season ot the year.

his special management, can wield
their hats so dexterously on each
other’s heads that he had to disband
his club and is at present out of a
jot*. All communications promptly
answered.
—We doubt if the State House
can hold all aspirants for Legisla
tive honors, and when the election
is over perhaps human nature will
have asserted itself somewhat as
was manifested by the Jews over
1800 years ago, preferring good and
tried men for Barabbases. No en
try by Etenezer—out of the race.
—The stay-at homes who are de
prived ol the benefits afforded by
distant mineral springs need not
take it to heart. The Darlington
Mineral Spring is ample to supply
every invalid in the county with
mineral water, unsurpassed for its
medicinal properties in building up
impared digestion- Some families
in this section are using it with hap
py results; so far two cases have
teen cured and others are improv
ing. Don’t bewail your sad fate
because of not being Jay Gould or
having relatives near celebrated
springs to set down upon, but take
your demijohns to the Darlington
Mineral Spring, fill them with this
health-giving water, keep one jug
cool in your well, drink freely of its
contents apd see if you do not grow
healthier and happier before the
winter snows come on.
