a e 1 lu Before and After. "Dear Bill," wrote the candidate t( his brother in Texas, "I write tc say that I am gettiug up among tht photographs. I am running foi clerk, and the boys say I will win bauds down. There is no way tc beat me. Fifteen hundred men have pledged me their support personally, and there will be only 2*200 votes in the couuty. So you sec my majority won't only be handsome but Overwhelming. Old Williams burg county is all right, and the fellow who cau't 'raise' in this neck of the moral vineyard has absolutely no 'yeast' in his anatomy. I am writing this on the eve of the elec tioa and er? these lines reach you I will be clerk of the grand old county of Williamsburg. Bill, if you are needing anything in the shape of financial assistance, don't fail to call ou your devoted bother, John'." "Dear Bill," wrote John a few days after the foregoing epistle was penned, "you may consider this a repudiation of my former letter in reference to my race for clerk. M y opponent, that red-headed, freckledface hyena of a Henry Peters?you remember him?beat the socks off * me. - "I have come to the conclusion, Bill, that King David didn't go far * ' " enough when he wrote, "I said in my hlste that all men are liars." He shouk^/have added 'and since I have thought the matter over, I have nothing to take back.' "IfT know anything, it is this: * that Williamsburg county contains fifteen .hundred of as robust, ablebodied liars as yon can find in the whole StAtoof South Carolina. Bill, I want to ask a favor of you, and to cut it short, I'm financially dead and the ?ulture8_of bankruptcy are after me. I waot to borrow a hundred until I can make my crop. And, Bill, if you ever come back home on a visit I'll consider tea mighty big favor if you won't tell'tfiH. boys about that first letter regarding my candidacy. On account of .the aforesaid fifteen hundred able-bodied liars, I humbly inscribe myself, your necessarily hacked but still game brother, "John." X. Y. Z. i Cards of ThanksKindly allow me the use of your columns to return my heartfelt ? thanks to. my friends for their loyal support in the recent election and to express the hope that they will turn out at the polls in the second primary in my behalf. If re-elected I shall continue to use my best efforts to give faithful service and especially to build up the roads over the whole * county. With the facilities at hand and the experience I have gained I feel coufident in saying that in two years more I could do a great deal toward the improvement of our public roads, should I be allowed the opportunity to carry out the plans I have formed toward this end.

The fault he wants to know about is with the mail carriers and not the postmasters. j Wheu I lock the mail sacks and deliver them to the carriers I have nothing more to do with them. On the day mentioned I delivered the mail sack for Rhem's and Dock, together with all mail to be delivered * i-- 4-1,.,. | OU tne route to tur; uniiici 1U1 mat end of the route. After leaving the office the carriers got the sacks mixed and I knew nothing about it till Monday when the mail came back. Hope Amiens kwill kuow here after whose fault it is, and not be insinuating that it is the fault of the postmaster at Indiantown.
