In remitting checks or money orders iane payable to THE COUNTY RECORD. THURSDAY, JUNE 30. 1910. One 'Swallow doesn't make a summer, but one mosquito can keep awake a drummer. As a rule, when a candidate comes seeking advice, it isn't advice he wants, but backing. In several counties not a single candidate has yet announced for j the Legislature. The Newberry i Observer thinks it may be necessary to conscript the Legislative quota to which that county is ^entitled. The Dillon Herald proudly proclaims that Congressman Ellerbe has promised Dillon the next public building in the Sixth district. Well, maybe Mr Ellerbe will not have any say-so as to how the few crumbs of patronage handed out to this district shall be distributed after next March. At any rate, it seems poor politics to make rash promises before the primary. That was a rough deal given a party of Woodruff fishermen last week, who, divesting themselves of their garments, went swimming in the Enoree, whose amber waters are kissed by the willows that fringe its classie borders. But, alas, a herd of hungry Ik wines ! came along and devoured?ate up, ?the fishermen's gaudy garments, or at least that is the story told by the veracious chronicler for the Columbia State. We have heard of all kinds of "fishermen's luck," but venture to say that never l>efore did a bunch of anglers have their clothes eaten by cows. From State and Congressional candidates and their friends wej have received numerous n-quw^ to run free complimentary articles , boosting the candidates for the various offices they seek. Several years ago we cut out the free notice business, even cards of thanks, 1 from county candidates. If the matter submitted is worth publishing it is surely worth paying ' for and it surely costs money toi( set type. Our rate for any kind ' of political notice (except an- < no incement cards) is one cent a ! word for each insertion. We \ w can't afford to l>car the burden i 1 of l>oosting a field full of candi- j dates and we play no favorites. State Campaign Pointers. The State campaign opened last Wednesday, June 22, at Sumter. The six candidates for Governor are: C L Blease, John T Duncan, C C Featherstone, F H Hyatt, T G McLeod and J G Richards. The "paramount issue'' as it has l>een for years, still seems to be the liquor question. Featherstone, Hyatt and Richards have declared for State-wide prohibition, Blease and McLeod for local option, while Duncan seems to have no pronounced views on the whiskev problem. Thb other candidate are a? fol lows: Leutenant Governor?E \V Duvall of Cheraw and Chas A Smith of Timraonsville. Attorney General?J F Lyon of Abbeville and B B Evans of Columbia. Adjutant General?Capt J M Richardson of Charleston, Maj Chas Newnham of Columbia and Col W \V Moore of Barnwell. For Railroad Commissioner?O C Scarborough of Summerton, McDuffie Hampton of Columbia, G H j Mahon of Greenville,and last,but by no means least,the only and original "Cansler ofTirzah," (the home Qf this combination we believe is York icounty?or maybe it's Lancaster). ! They say Cansler wears his same dinky little cap, only this year it is ! embellished with "Cansler of TirI zah" sewed across the visor in inch S high letters. State Treasurer R H Jennings, Comptroller General A \V Jones, (j> a r> \r occreutrj ?>i ouuc ri .u IUCI^UWII anil Superintendent of Education J E Swearingen, having no opposi- ] tion, are resting easy in Columbia, while their less fortunate associates are strenuously striving to ''hold to what they've got," as the hoys J express it.

Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon during the storm of lightning and thunder that visited here, the lightning was particularly severe near Zeb Dostoffice. and found a mark in several instances, we are informed. Mr W T Phillips, who lives near Central church, was standing on the piazza of his dwelling catching the rain as it fell from the eaves in a zinc bucket, when a bolt from a nearby cloud struck the metal bucket, ran up his arm and knocked him down, stunning him and blistering his arm. It was a narrow escape indeed. ?. ^ At Mr Sid Brown's, a plantation, the lightning 4 u , small colored boy on the toe t bumped a mule in the face in three different places, according to our informant, who added that the bolt did dent the mule's visage somewhat,but did no serious harm.
