AGAINST MCLAURIN. The Republicans Nominate a Candidate for Congress. The Republican Congressional Convention of this (Sixth) dis trict met in Florence on Thurs day last to nominate a candidate for Congress in opposition to Hon. J. L. McLaurin, the Demo cratic nominee. E. J. Sawyer, colored, was nominated. Saw yer is the postmaster at Ben- nettsville and is also editor of the Pee Dee Educator, a paper published at that place in the interest of the colored race, lie defeated for the nomination the notorious S. Wesley Williams, of Florence. Of course Sawyer stands not a ghost of a chance of election, but his candidacy will give him a “hold” on Fed eral patronage in this section in the event of Harrison’s re- election.

[Chemw Krfxirtcr Oct 5.] Last Saturday night about dark while K<i Long, white, from Marlboro was walking over the Palmetto trestle on his way home, he fell to the ground where he lay unseen by any one until about nine o’clock the next morning. His sufferings during the night must have been terrible. Although he was found in the morning, these who found him. instead of coming to town to tell of the accident, went immedi ately to inform the dying man’s tanuly of the sad catastrophe. Therefore, it was not until about two o’clock when Dr. C. Kollock arrived to examine Long just before death. The deceased rc- mined consciousness until ju. t before his death and answered questions which were asked him about the sad occurrence. Now is the time to get a suit of clothes cheap.

Mr. Howell’s has given tli title of “The Coast of Bohemia” to his new novel of American girl life which is about to be published in The Ladies Home Journal. " The novelht says of le story that “it is about the ctiiest thing I have ever une.” 1 Europe Can Give Us Points on Making Highways. The value of good wagon roads is not appreciated iu this country, says a writer iu the St. Louis Globe Democrat. We are great railroad builders, but we sadly neglect that equally im portant item, good wagon roads. It frequently costs the farmer as much to get his grain to the station, a distance of a few miles, as to transport it half across the continent to market. A county will issue bonds to help build a railway which it may not need, yet considers that it has done all that is necessary when it compels the able-bodied citizen to stand in the wagon-ways and talk politics a couple of days each -year. The American method of im proved roads is about as fol lows : A man is elected road overseer who could not tel! a culvert from aChinese pagoda— knows no more of road-building than a dray hoi so does of tri gonometry. He summons the citizens to come forth on a cer tain day and “work the roads.” A few of them come with scrap ers and shovels. They paw around in the dirt for a day or two, each man according to his own ideas, and the last state of that road is infinitely worse than the first. The result is that it required for horses to do the work of one when the farm produce is to be hauled to the ! market. The old Romans did [these things differently. They realized that good roads were of vastly more importance to a community than fine buildings. The highways they constructed are good after twenty centuries o” wear and tear. The poorer countries of Eu rope have better highways than the richest State of the American Union. Road building is a science witli the Europeans. It is strange that in this country, where laborsaviug machinery has been brought to the highest perfection—where it is the boast of the people that ‘every edge is made to cut’ wo have tho worst roads, the greatest labor wast ers to be found in tho world. A KISSING CAMPAIGN. The Candidate that Kissed the Babies Won the Governorship. In the Missouri campaign of 1880 two of tho most fascinatin men in the state were pitt against each other, T. T. Crit tenden and D. P. Dyer. Mr. Crittenden started the campaign aggressively by kissing the 11- dit s filially, fraternally or pa- ♦ernally, as the case might be. Mr. Dyer followed suit, and the contest of grace and aban- |don was clearly a tie. Then Mr. '(’rittendon stole a inarch on his U .suspecting opponent; he bp- | gan on the babies No baby of I any qualified voter of the state jescaped the pressure of Mr. Crittenden’s lips, ora delicate II rib ate to its fine features and symmetrical body. The efTe't of this movement was tremendous. Mr. Dyer, was campaigning in tho back i districts, and did not hear of his adversary’s brilliant stratagem for nearly two weeks. Hehasti- |ly adopted the same Hue of at tack, but it was too late, for the idea was as good as patented. Mr. Crittenden went right along kissing babies up to within an hour of the closing of the polls, and when he desisted he was elected to tae governorship by the largest majority ever cast in the state—54,034 votes.—Kan sas City Star. 1 a [Columbia Register.] The fair to be held at Char leston, comm mcing October 10, for the benefit of the Order of Railway Conductors is attract ing much interest among the friends of the conductors and the public generally.

The gang was composed of three Dalton brothers, the eldest, Bob, being the leader, and several other despenuloes. The Dal tons were related to the famous outlaws, the James boys, and their records are full of robber ies and murders. On Wednes day morning of last week five of the gang boldly road into Coffeyville, Kans., and preced ed to rob the two banks of that place. The citizens gathered in a posse and attacked them. A battle ensued and four of the five robbers, including Bob Dal ton, the leader, were killed im mediately and the fifth is badly wounded and captured Of the citizens engaged in the fight, fo ir were killed, one was fatally and two seriously wounded.

The knack which French photqgrn pliers, ami especially those of Paris possess in relieving their sitters of 11 constrained and distressed look whilt fitting for their portraits has long tieen the envy and perplexity of photogra pliers of other nations. An American photographer, on a recent visit to Paris took pains to stndy the means by which this very desirable result was reached He reports that it all lies in a verj simple device, which well illustrates the nature of the Frenchman. When a lady, for instance, is sitting to a photographer for a portrait, the operator does not. in a perfunctory manner, coldly request her to "Look pleasant now, ma'am!” He says to her m the most natural aud graceful man ner in thfe world: “It’s quite unnecessary to ask madam to look pleasant: she could uot look otherwise I” The lady of course acknowledges the compliment with her most gracious and highbred smile. "Click!” goes the camera and the picture is obtained, re vealing the sitter at her highwater murk, as it were.—Youth’s Companion. " ’ ’ I w I • _ I Yes, Our Business Is RAPIDLY GROWING.
