POLITICAL FORECAST.
Hamas of {.Those Who Have Been
t, Mentioned as Possible Candidates.
" i
Before many months ejection
1 ??* M! V i
day will be on hand again, and if
observation counts for-anght ere
L . that season approaches a plentiful
* > crop of candidates will be in evidence.
The people of Williamsburg
are in no wise dif&dent in
?' county politicians! some of the
^ Jknowing ores aver that the candidate
crop is usually in inverse
ratio to the other kind of crop.
The following county offices will
he tiliea tois year: i aiaie senator,
I 9 repre^nlalives, county supervisor,
county superintendent ol
education, treasurer, auditor, and
r latterly it is customary for the
Iwo county commissioners and
ihe three supervisors ol registra- ,
Hun to run in the primary.
As possible candidates for the. c j,
positions there has been already a
puraber of suggestions, and we do
not think it amiss to give our
readers the benefit of what we
m hifl u n Ant i At\
IiavtJ IIGMIU, in mis bunucuiiDii
lifter talking with. people from ev^ry
section of the counly. We <
wish it distinctly understood,
however, that no one has authorized
us to.mention his name as a
candidate,.and if any one become '
offended at ha.ving his name raen""
tinned?rwhy we won't Tote for '
/ < him.
For State Senator, we understand
that Dr. Williams will be a \
candidate to succeed himself. In
connection with this office we have .
i,l80 heard the names of Capt.. W.
H. Kennedy,, Hon. John S. Graham,
Mr. Hugh McCutchen, Lion.
Wavne Gamble, Hon. J. Davis
Carter lj)ach of these gentlemen
has represented the county in the
legislature except Mr. McCutchen.
For the legislature, Messrs.
Gourdin and Keels mill doubtless.
I 1 4. 14 ? II f 11/

Kennedy has also been suggested
Ipr representatKo. There will
doubtless be others.
Fir auditor,. Mr. JjD Daniel wi^l
run again and U i* said that
Messrs. W D Owens, W W Grayson,
J W Cook and Ji J. B Montgomery
wdl also enter the race.
County supervisor, as usual, is
the most popular office,. Besides
Mr. B B,Chandler, the incumbent,
the following ^iave been mentioned:
0 W.lieeier, 8 M.Bradshaw.
J J Graham, A Cook. P M
Brockinton and.C D Cook..
The offipe ot county treasurer
involves so. much, hard work with
such poor pay that no one seems
V> want it except the incumbent,
Mr. R D Rqllins.
For county superintendent of
educalipn Capt. Coeper will have
Mr. Geo 8 Barr as an opponent.
Messrs. & D> Blakeley. R E

-This will be perhaps the hardest
year that our farmers have had to
contend with-since the war, aiad feeling
this ourselves we are going to
make it a study to try to pliwo provisions
of all kinds in Kingstree for
as little money as they possibly can
be laid down here tor and sold oo :?
strictly cash basis. Any business
man knows that Corn, Grits. Bacon,
Molasses, Flour and such like g->ods
are the same as monev. And what
our people need in Kiugstree is a
man who is able to cope with the
outside bnsine.-s world and bring
thein to their doors as cheap as they
can get them in any market, 'lnis
can only be done with the money,
and at the outset we want to tell our
customers that it takes money to mil
this kind of business. It never has
been attempted here before. It is
pirely experimental, and whether it
shall succeed or fail depends upon
the support the people shall give it.
In this day and age in order to keep
up with the markets of the world
a man has to study themand make it. a
business and get prices way do.vu in
order to know when and where to
buy. With these introductory
