He was objectionable to the com iiiunity, besides he took the pog office entirely out of town to the edge of a swamp. The citizens mailed their letters 011 the car until the authorities ordered the cars closed. Telegram informs me the building used as post dice was burned 011 Saturday night Inst. i4Gen Bristow informs me that this has caused .closing of office at Lake City entirely, and it will not be opened until better arrangements are made. It is not known v when this can be accomplished. "Gen. Bristow fnther says that no charges at all have been made against this postmaster, but if made vand found correct he will be removed at ouce. He says postmasters must be competent, attentive, aud at all times polite to the public. II have also quite a number of applications for new postoffices in the district. It takes time to nch results here I find, and after an office is created a postmaster will not be appointed qntil Mr Webster shall have reported 011 each case. This will show my friends why matters appear slow in this direction. \ Seeds, documents and other official matter come in fof time and attention. I am afraid 4his seed business is fast becomingN^htice |?tsrce. For instance, the depart^ ment gave the 6th district ^ packages of tobacco seed, while to ^ districts with no tobacco growers H&00 packages were given.

A close frieml of Col It B Wt.t?on formerly State senator from Edge field, yesterday returned to the city after spending a day with Col. Watson. lie announced to a representative of 1 he State that Col. Watsou had finally determined to enter the race for governor this summer. He stated that Col. Watson didj not propose to make any fight on higher education, but wanted it don# on a more economical basis if possible. Col. Watson was mentioned I no a nnoeiUlo /latl/llfluto ) |/i uiiuuuui'ij no a |A;ooiuiv vuuuiunw i for governor when Gov. Ellerbe was J elected, but he declined to make the I race then. Kecently his name has [ been connected with the coming race j on several occasions. This apparently authoritative announcement of his candidacy will doubtless set the politicians to talking. Col. Watson, it is said, will probably be in Columbia before the end of the week. Then he cau be seen and will doubtless speak for himself. Gov. Ellerbe has alrerdy announced that he will stand for re-election. The other possible candidates in the coming race are State Senator Archer of Spartanburg and Mr. Wm. C McGowao of Abbeville.?State.
