Oliver is engaged in ti:o turpentine
business. M;>s Marion i>
the youngest of three daughters
and is a well-educated, refined
and splendia lady and one of ?
the most popular oi this section,
and in being able to secure such .
a prize Mr Oliver is regarded is 1
very fortunate. Mr Oliver, who
is orginally from Marion, was
here about a year in the em-,.
ploy of Mr J L btuckey and ^
went into his new business a few
v
months ago.

Mrs S W G IShipp of Florence i v

Mr W P Jordan is building a n
really pretty cottage on Mc-! e
Alister street, next door to the ,,
old school house. As soon as a
completed he and his family t
will occupy it. u
Mr 0 S Baldwin spent two i;
days last week in Georgetown (
on business. . c
There was an entertainment r
at the Star warehouse Friday
evening for the benefit of the n
public school library. It was a a
comedy entitled "All Tangled 3
Up" and a good many of the j
talented young folks took part n
in the production, which was t
very creditable and pronounced a
quite a success. The returns I
were about $50 net. This makes i-'
about $150 that has been raised 3

the library and is quite sufficient ?
to secure a well-selected col- ^
lection of some two to three n
hundred neat and durable books,
which should prove a decided n
aid in educational efforts. to
A few weeks ago mention e
? was made of a fire engine which ^
the town council was contem- c
plating purchasing. Howe Fire a
Engine Company brought the *
engine here and subjected it s
publicly to every test required
and it met every claim made for r
it. Thereupon the council ac- F
cepted the engine and other '
equipment and paid for the same e
cash. So now we have a thou- a
sand dollar engine, hose reel s
and wagon and hook and ladder *truck
and accessories?all com- a
plete in every detail. The en- e
gine is a combined chemical and
water engine. The chemical is, *
of course, intended for hurried 11
use in incipient fires and the ' s

work. Of course it is necessary
to furnish a water supply in order
to make the department ^
complete. This will put us in v
shape to meet any fire that we
will probably be called upon to 0
combat and ail will feel that we 1
are no longer in danger of a dis- *
astrous conflagration. An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound 1
of cure. ^

5 to take effect September
907. For the unexpired term
rhich ends December, 1908
here are two candidates, t<
fit: Solicitor John S Wilsoi
if Manning and Hon T B Frasei
>f Sumter, the latter being 1
tiember of the house of repres
ntatatives. Both these are
;ood men and good lawyers anc
re very popular and the con
est is spirited, the champion?
if each being enthusiastic anc
ntensely in earnest. Mr Georg<
Jalletly of Florence was spokei
>f as third candidate, but his
lame was withdrawn last week
The election will be held tonorrow
and the result is keenly
hticipated. In the event o
?Ir Wilson's election to th<
udgeship, his place as solicitoi
nust be filled, and for this posi
ion there will be more than on<

Florence will seek this office anc

rtessrs B Frank Kellev o
lishopville and J H Clifton o
>umter, both of whom are like

nentioned.
Besides the judgeship abov<
nentioned, elections will tx
leld tomorrow for superintend
nt of the penitentiary, thre*
irectors of the penitentiary
?ne trustee of Claflin university
nd a U S senator. Of course
he vote for Senator Tillman tc
ucceed himself is merely a

e-elected superintendent of the
enitentiary without opposition
."he three directors whose terms
xpire, Messrs Sanders, Moblej
nd Kirby, are candidates. Be
ides these Messrs Smith of
,'olleton and King of Columbia
re candidates. When these
lections are over, then look
or the hair-pulling and howling
hat may be expected at any
loment. The three leading
ubjects of contention are the
nspensary, the lien law anc
he railroads.
The anti-dispensary forces
lave presented their measure
rhich is the local option bil
irepared by Messrs J P Care]
>f Pickens and T P Cothran o
Anderson and modeled after tin
araous Morgan bill, wnicu i

Thus the two forces stand ai
ayed for battle and that it wil

louse the issue is certain, but i
is in the Senate that the re<

1 and more evident every day sa
r that Bryan was ritfht when he ^
1 said that the government must
* control the railroads, or the w

L Power of the WiM. ^
i At a recent conversazione a dis- s<
; mission arose about the power of H
the will. A certain guest of very
self assertive character loudly de'
clared that no one could will him m
r to do anything against his inclina
tion. His challenge was taken up m
r by a well known author, who led in
L him out into the middle of the
room, held his hands and gazed at q
' him steadily for awhile, the rest of q
: the company looking on expectant- q
f lv. Presently the braggart said:
j "What did I tell you, sir? You
r may gaze at me as long as ever you ai
[ like, but I defy you to will me to
^ do anything."
I "Do you ?" replied the author. | er
"Well, I've been willing you to jr
5 stand like a jackass in the middle d
of this room for five minutes, and, 2
j by George, you've done it!" D
