"V
Things To Consider. s
The question we would put to 11
the voters of Williamsburg is, t(
Do we want a man from this
county for Solicitor of the third
ri
'judicial circuit? Normally the ob
_ _ 11
vious answer would be yes. Now,
' . o
are the conditions abnormal? Let ,
fi
us see. Those who kuow him
U
b.-st believe Mr Stoll qualified
both bv native intelligence aud
I 1 *
special training to fill the office L
creditably and that he will do t<
his duty without fear or favor, d
We are free to say that if we I h
(did uot think so Mr Stoll would d
Vnot receive our support. True he w
' as not had a great long ex- \
erience in prosecuting criminals, si
DUt neither had John Wilson
"when he was" elected Solicitor.
t * oi
With natural ability, enhanced by
S
training and education, it lies
within the power of any man to
fill any office with which the
* E
people choose to entrust him.
And we feel assured that Mr ^
Stoll has honorable pride not to ^
f!
fail to meet the expectations of
his friends Now, if our premises ^
be true, we have in Mr Stoll a
v ti
P candidate qualified for the office
and a home man besides. This C
means a good deal more than
mere sentiment. A citizen of
"Williamsburg must have her in {
terests first at heart and with his
broadened field of usefulness Mr
o
Stoll would have opportunity to
bring our county in closer touch j(
with the rest of the State. The
J
fact that a Williamsburg man ^
had been chosen as the State's ,
li
prosecuting attorney would give y
our county a prestige she has not
enjoyed for many years. Look ^
over the circuit: Sumter has Judge j
Purdy; Clarendon, Judge Wilson .
and Lee, Lieutenant Governor ?
S
McLeod. What has Williamsburg? ^
Heretofore cur county has been
[* ~ ~ " I
truly a negligible quantity in the
- ^
I State politics, usetul only when
her votes were needed to help
k . elect a favorite son in some other
I part of the State. Shall we be ^
content to neglect the opportuni- t
ty now before us and by so doIjDg
say to the world that we "do ^
not care for recognition in the j
State government? Your vote next 1
Tuesday will tell. ^
Against Mr McLaughlin we 1
have nothing to say and if he
lived in Williamsburg we would |
probably give him our cordial J
support. We believe him, how- j
I ever, no better qualified for this J
pffice than Mr Stoll. By the (
I
$
I <
?
jruce of Governor Ansel's appointment
he is now Solicitor and
,vith all the advantage of being
n possession he received only a
yw more votes than Mr Stoll.
'ompare the vote in Williamsmrg
with that in Lee and it
hows that in their respective
lonie counties, where each candilate
is best known, Mr Stoll re
eived a much larger percentage
it the votes cast for this office
ban did his opponent.
Now, let us eliminate personal
eeling and vote for the man who
j i?i a rineitimi tn K^at sorvp thp
>eople of our county. Let us
,dopt the motto of D'Artagnan

Telephones and Fires.
"he earliest application of the tele>ne
in connection with a switched
was made at Bridgeport ConnJune,
1878, where in the eagerness
various fire companies to arrive first
flres, the men of company No. 5.
iich was next to the telephone office,
d the telephone operator to request
twenty-one patrons to give the tarnation
over the telephone of any
? and to report the fact at the enle
house. This engine was not only
! first at several flres, but in some
'sterious manner was frequently on
way before the alarm struck,
["his reached a climax on the oecan
of a small fire in a dwelling, which
> fire company attended with muf- (
J hell, in response to a telephone ,
issage, and no fire alarm was pulled.
. their return, the engine was driven
the house of a rival company with j
II ringing, and when the men rushed
t vith inquiries they were told that
? fire had been extinguished.
Mter this occurrence, the chief of
i fire department gave orders that
mpanies should not respond to a fire
irm received over a telephone, but
i insurance agents of the city apaled
to the city council, who ordered
it all fire engine bouses should be
uipped with telephones.?Brooklyn

The Feast of Yule.
t was Pope Telesphorui, who died
fore the year 150 A. D., who instiled
Christmas as a festival, though
some time it was Irregularly held
December, April and May. But
centuries before there had been a
ist of Yule among the northern nans,
whose great enjoyment was in
inking the wassail bowl or cup.
ithiug gave mem so mucn aengut as i
lulgeuce iu "carousing ale," especialat
the season of short days, when
hting was ended. It was likewise
s custom at all their feasts "for the
ister of the house to fill a large bowl
pitcher, to drink out of It first himIf
and then give to him that sat
xt, and so it went around." This
\y have been the origin of that popu-!
American custom known as "treat* "
Flattered Him.
'You onght to have been more tactI.
You should have flattered him."
I did flatter him."
Flattered him? Why, you told him
was half a fool!"
Well, wasn't that flattering him?" j
