"How will you get there?" was ! the question. The <Congressional candidate, witt a far away look replied: "The road is going to run a 'special material train' down to Parksville on Monday morning, and there'll be a coach attached for us." Then he wondered why some one repeated, "special material train," and why the crowd laughed and spoke again. "I mean a log train." Again thecrowd laughed and some one cruelly asked. "Do | you have reference to driftwood?" And the candidate left. That was t too much.

Mr. Holland's health is not very good, aud he and his family are gone to the mountains where they will spend his vacation. We hope their trip will be boil pleasant and beneficial. Messrs. F. Iihem & Sons have sold their flock of sheep. This speaks bad for the industry. For they are thorough and energetic business men, and wheu they tail to receive profits from any branch of business, we think it almost useless for any one else to try. The Black Mingo base ball team and the Black river team met on the laters grounds last Saturday to play a match game, but the Black river boys seemed lots more anxious to fight tban to play ball. Our boys come back looking sick enough to have got a whipping cf some kind, and they say they did not play ball. Some of the farmers say we are having too much rain for crops, but some cf them are so hard to please, tfmt they will grumble makes no difference how the wind blows. My experience in politics is not sufficient to enter into a controversy but I do believe that it is the duty of every voting man in the State to turn out at the coming primary and cast an honest vote for the man who he thinks competent to best fill the office. It is the habit with numbers of men tosit down, and wait until the election is over and then w .It n li.nrr aIlaao In iiotvena norc Tint JUll^ I'lVVV. O IV I?V??V7|/??|/V?V criticising the office holders. A man is not ?a true citizen that does not do what he sincerely believes to be the best for his country. The man that ignores the election, and excuses himself by paying that he is afraid he will vote for the wrong man, is too honest to live in this cointry where we have so many dishonest politicians to contend with. Now let every voting citizen of this county post himself as much as possible with the career of the candidate's former lives, and on the day of the primary tum oat and select from among the candidates in the held the man that yon believe will best fill the office.

Perhaps this is a little piece of humor on the part of the genial president, who, no doubt, thinks candidates and politicians will feel at home on a log train, as they are, as a rule, familiar with 'dog rolling" anyway. Another candidate lias been announced in the person of Mr. L. S. Bigh 'm. The others are: Gen. Norton, Solicitor Johnson, Sheriff Bradham, Mr. J.E.Ellerbe. Mr. D. W. McLaurin and Mr. F. D.

After.... Taking a coarse of Ayer's Pills the system is set in good working order and a man begins to feel that life is worth living. He who has become the gradual ? ? ? ? o prey of constipation, does not realize the friction under which he labors, until the burden is lifted from him. Then his mountains sink into molehills, his moroseness gives place to jollity, he is a happy man again. If life does not seem worth living to you,, you may take a very different view of it after taking Avar's Cathartic Pills.
