The work has b' mi done and we now have a cont house and jail that will serve our county for many years to come without any additional expense. Are the people in the liut'edge area willing to give up their share of ownership in these costly buildings and tax themselves to put up another court house and jail iu a new county? Thmk well before throwing away the substance for the shadow. The town of Limedale, lud, presents a rather anomalous condifinri n tirinor f-\ tti.1 fiipf that! v.vru. ^" "-'a ?> ? there is cot a single Republican in the town, a Democrat has had to be appointed postmaster for the past thirty-two years and he has quit the job. Another Democrat will have to be persuaded to accept tue office or the people of the town may be deprived of their postal facilities. Several candidates have beeu suggested for the gubernatorial race next summer. There are many long, hot days before the campaign opeus, and it is not a bit of use to be forcing men into the race so long beforehaud. True the newspaper space-writers iiaTe t) hustle for live '-copy" just at this seasou, but they should by tacit agreement eschew State politics until cotton opens, anyway. If there is a single convincing rea90u why the county of Rut- 1 ledge should be formed along the ( lines proposed, we would be glad 1 to hear it. Except a few real estate holders in the town cf Lake City, who have lots for sale, who in the whole area will receive benefit commensurate with the extra tax and bonded indebtedness that will inevitably come? The $'hoys"?and some of the fair oues too?who make the newspapers of South Carolina, are having a big time in Greenville this week. This editor wauted to go, but circumstances prevented. At any rate, if not there iu the llesh we are with them in spirit. Here's long life to the Press Association of South Carolina! The figures we publish this week outweigh volumes of argument based on empty boastiDg and imagination working overtime. ^ The only authority that counts is the official record and we defy any one to disprove our figures. The fact that the glorious Fourth * fell ou Sunday didn't prevent the fools fioni blowing themselves and others up on Saturday before and Monday after.

Her Husband Preceded ller in Death Only Eight Days AgoOnly last week we chronicled the! death of a gallant veteran. Mr JS Leard Lifrage, and now it becomes our melancholy duty to pay this last sad tribute to his estimable wi fe,Mrs Euima Lifrage, who died Monday night, at her home near Salters Depot after being sick only an hour and a half. Up to the time of her fatal attack of illness she was apparently in good health; in fact, had remark etl that she felt unusually well, and was getting ready to pay a visit to relatives at a distauce. Iler death is supposed to have been caused from heart failure. Mrs Lifrage died justeight days, after the demise of her husband, and she had been heard to express the desire that her death and his should be close together. Mrs Lifrage was sixty-five years old and is survived by one brother and two sisters. Her death is also mourned by her husband's four sons by his first wife, to whom, having no children of her own, she was a devoted mother. The funeral services and interment took place Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock at Union church, Rev E E Ervin of Kingstree and Rev RL Grier of Greelyville officiating. Matters at Moody.

The Charleston baseball team in the South Atlantic league has been transferred to Knoxville, Tenn, and Charleston loses its franchise in the league in which the city has been represented by a team since its organization.

Delay in commencing treatment for a slight irregularity that could have been cured quickly by Foley's Kidney Remedy may result in a serious kidney disease. Foley's Kidney Remedy builds up the worn out tissues and strengthens these organs. D C Scott. To His Wife. Perhaps the wife whose remains lie beneath the following epitaph would be pleased at the sentiment, coald she read it once; could she read it ftrice, she would probably look for the broom-stick?and her husband: "Thou lirtst gone before me To thy last, long sleep; Tears cannot restore thee? Therefore I weep. By her husband." ?July Lippincott*.*. Tbe Pressman. "May I print a kiss on your tuby lips?" he said: And she nodded her sweet permission ; So we went to press, and I rather guess We printed a full edition.
