THE COUNTY RECORD.
THURSDAY JUNE 16. 1910.

Partly Personal.
We\thank our friend, Editor
?
"Stokes, of the Like City News,
for his kind and complimentary
reference to us as a possihlecandidate
for the office of State
Senator. It is an honor not to
he lightly cast aside to lie deemed
worthy by any considerable number
of one's fellow-citizens?espe
cially men ->f influence and sound
judgment?to measure up to the
requirements of this important
and responsible office, which is
really the highest office within
the gift of the people of a county,
and however slight might l>e our
-chance of election were we seriously
to enter the field, we do
appreciate the assurances of support
that have come to us from
many of our county's l>est citizens.
In publishing the foregoing we
ask pardon for seeming egotism.
It was not our intention to refer
to Che matter editorially at all,
hut in thanking our esteemed
contemporary we feel that we owe
equal consideration to the others
jrho have urged our candidacy.
Since the matter was first
broached to us away last summer
we have definitely and unequivocally
declined to consider
the question of being a candidate
for this or any other office.
Thpri- art> several reasons, any one
of which we feel sure our friends
would accept as sufficient excuse
for not yielding to their flattering
persuasion. These reasons, being
wholly of a personal nature,
we deem it neither needful nor
becoming to recite them in print.;
While on the subject we may
sav that in our opinion this)
county was never more greatly in
need of strong men to represent:
her interests in the (leneral As-1
sembly and we can ill afford to
let jiersonal I das or prejudice influence
us against choosing the
most available men to meet the
demands of the times. In ln?th
branches of the Legislature we
need the ablest and most progressive
men to represent our county
and Tiie Record stands pledged to
lend its influence toward that end
?to supp >rt the men best qualified
to serve us regardless of our
personal likes or dislikes, or what
part <>f the county they may happen
to live in.

Every week a new "new county;
movement" springs up. The'
| worst feature of it is the piling]
up of taxes on the old counties
! involved, the majority of the peo
pie therein not even heing allowed
to vote in these elections,
j ruder the present !: \v it seems
that the expense of holding the
j new county elections, no matter
j how often they come, must l>e
home hy the old county. This
j law ought to l>e changed.

We couldn't take in the annual
meeting of the "press gang" at
Glenn Springs this week, hut Mr
j Charles C Conner, the general
; manager of the American Type
Founders' Company at Baltimore,
| and Mr W L Spencer, the !*>;> J
u!ar salesman of the same foundry,
stopped over to see us Sun- j
day on their way to the associa- ]
. mi _ _ ! l i
tmn meeting. i ne.se are geniai
and affable gentlemen both, and
what they don't know alnrnt type
and printing material is scarcely
worth knowing. We certainly feel
honored that they should go out
<>f their way to pay us a social
visit and their congenial companionship
was most heartily enjoyed.
To those who are familiar with
the political career of Hon James
Norton, former Comptroller General
and sometime Congressman
from the Sixth district, his virtuous
indignation aroused by a
condition resembling the "spy system"
of the old State dispensary
comes at a late hour and with ill
grace, to say the least of it. c
Being^ one of the chief beneficiaries c
of the "Reform Movement" and ,
r
an ardent and militant supporter
of all the policies growing out of
Tillmanism, it would seem better _
taste to remain silent as to the a
quality of material that made up r
the ladder whereby he climbed to S
political power, now that he has ^
t >ppled off the perch to which he
F
clung with such ol>stinate tenacity.
a
c
Caught Both Ways.
Sir Edward 'lhorutou. once English
ambassador to the United States, and S
Judge Poland of Vermont bore a re- c
inarkable resemblance to each other,
and this fact sometimes led to arnus *
lug results. n
At a wedding in Washington u young ^
man weut up to Judge Poland, greeted
him and held out his baud. '
"1 fear." said the judge, "that you have
the advantage of me."
"Is it possible." asked tbe young
man. "that you don't remember seeing 1
me with my father in Mexico?"
"1 don't recollect ever being in Mexico."
"Why. surely, you are Sir Edward
Thornton?"
"By no means. I am Judge Poland
of Vermont"
A week or so later the baffled young
man caught sight of Judge Poland, as
he thought, and determined to smooth
over his recent blunder. "That was
an awkward mistake of mine the other
nigni." tie saia. my taking yuu im
old Thornton."
"And. pray, for whom do you take
me now?" was the query,
"Why. Judge Poland of Vermont, of
course."
"My name is Thornton!" thundered
the ambassador, turning ou his heel.
Make Earth Its Best.

,An Oversight.
The Judge Blanks of Alameda are
! an old fashioned family, and there
never has been any lack of childish
, prattle In their home these twenty
j years and more.
"How many of your chilc.ten." asked
1 the rector on a recent pastoral visit.
I "have not yet been baptizedV
"Why. let me see." replied Mrs.
Dlank?"there's Blanche and Robert
i and Seth and Rebecca and the baby.
, Dear me. 1 had no idea there were so (
1 many since our last christening! We'll
be on hand next Sunday In full force,
?tnd I shall never let so many accumulate
agaiu."?Argonaut.

H H Evans of Newberry, former

William D Crum, known to fame
