The gentlemen will be recommended to the Governor for appointment. The suggestion of our "White Oak" scribe anent the coyness of the candidates in announcing themselves is apropos and timely. It costs no more to "come out" early than at the eleventh hour. Five dollars for the round trip in both primaries, and a man who has not faith in himself to believe that he will get in the second primary should he fail to win out in the first, should not enter the race at all. In politics, as in most everything else, self-confidence is more than half the battle. Last Friday the local high school baseball team defeated Lake City on the latter's grounds in a very interesting game by a score of 7 to 3. The feature of the game was the all-round good playing of the locals, who fielded without an error and hit the ball at a terrific clip, bunching hita when they meant runs. Batteries: Lake City?Eaddy and Matthews; Kingstree?Cook and King. There is a game scheduled on the home grounds with Lake City Saturday. The local team will play the Greelyville team at that place tomorrow. With Out Advertisers, Jenkinson Bros Co have some excellent propositions in a new ad this week.
