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.

With the Florence "Times.”
Mr. C. H. Prince, who has
been the proprietor of the Flor

in fact almost ever since the
paper was established, has sever
ed hisconnection with that jour

and printing interests to Mr.
Hartwell M. Ayer, who has
been editing the Times for the
past year or so. Mr. Ayer is
one of the many young men of
the State who are undertaking
the onerous duties of an editor

the work, we look for the con

A FATAL FALL.
A Man Killed by Falling From a Trestle
at Cheraw.
[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. We have two
many and want to sell out.

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

BOLD *1 N ITS.
Their Daring Finally Brings Them to
Grief.
The famous Dalton gang has
at last come to grief. 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.

I’olite IMioto£raphers.
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.
