The race dfa very close in both districts and a number of our candidates missed the prizes only by one and two sub* scripti ns. Winning one of the special prizes does not mean that the winners are ahead on votes at the present time, as some of those who lost turned in old subscriptions that would more than bring their vote total up to what the prize winners have. The candidates are very elose together and it is anybody's race just now.

Old subscriptions, renewals and new subscriptions will be counted on this prize. If you have a friend who is behind on his subscription and will pay you even a part of it, it will count for you.

Lake City, May 31:?Several automobile owners are trying to keep down the cost of operating their cars by mixing kerosene with the gasoline. The two oils are mixed in different proportions, some using ofie part of kerosene to three or four parts of gasoline, and one is using as much as one part of kerosene to two parts of gasoline. So far, the results are said to be satisfactory. However, the trials are experiments to determine what can be done permanently in this direch'A?% plUU, Dr W E Steele of RocMngham, N C. spent last week here on business in connection with the estate of the late WFL Steele. Mr A B Brick spent last Sunday with friends in Manning. He "Forded" through the country by way of Kingstree. Mr R B Cannon came over from Scran ton Monday and spent some time in town. The hardware establishment of R F Taylor & Co was closed up one of the last days of last week, the stock being seized by the Bank of Lake City under proceedings to foreclose a mortgage. This step was made necessary 6y the action of unsecured creditors who unwisely undertook to have executions levied upon property covered by the mortgage.
