The door9 to these entrances or alcove* are about 8 feet from the sidewalk. The front of the building is constructed of nearly one half plate glass which forms three spacious show windows. The store room is lighted chiefly by two large sky-lights, one on each side, so there is not a dark corner in the room.

Mr W Luther McFaddin, a highly esteemed gentleman of the Sandy drove section of Clarendon county. died at the McLeod infirmary, Florence, Tuesday. He had been in bad health for months and was operated upon at that infirmary July 23. He stood the operation well, and when his uncle, Mr J F McFaddin, of this town,visited him Sunday, he seemed to be improving satisfactorily, but a sudden relapse proved fatal. Mr McFaddin was 47 years of age. He is survived by a widow, who was a daughter of Mr Thomas Burgess of Mouzon, and six children. Funeral services were held at 10 a. m. yesterday and interment made in the old Burgess burying ground, near Bethel church, Rev D M Clark, pastor, officiating. A large concourse of relatives and friends paid their last tribute to the memory of this good man and true. It is a remarkable coincidence that Mr McFaddin and Mr P M Young were operated upon at the same infirmary the same day for the same complaint, and both succumbed to relapse. Gome Early. Come Early.

CLOWNS AND RING-MASTERS. The county campaign opened at 11 Johnsonville Tuesday. The beautiful ' grove opposite the hotel served as an I arena for the gladiators who gath5 ered to defend their respective I claims to office before the sovereign people. The day was clear, warm t and ideal for the purpose. ' At the meeting all the candidates - were present except Probate Judge P M Brockinton and G W Ward, one ; of the nine aspirants for Coroner. Mr S B Poston presided over the ' meeting, and the candidates present> ed themselves in the following or j der, with reference only to the office ': sought: Candidates for Magistrate i at Johnsonville were the first to j present their claims, followed by j those in the race for Coroner. Although he has no opposition, "Dad!|dy" Montgomery was on hand and j made his olea for re-election to the office of Auditor. All the candidates for Sheriff, eight in number, were present and urged their claims for the office, told what they would do if elected, etc. One candidate hoped to be elected because he intends to purchase and maintain a pack of bloodhounds for use in catching criminals. Mr J G McCullough, present incumbent, presented his claims for re-election to the office of Superin- , tendent of Education, while his opponent, Mr J V McElveen, presented his candidacy and asked for the favorable consideration of citizens at the polls. These gentlemen were succeeded in the arena by the five candidates for County Treasurer, then Messrs H 0 Britton and J 0 Carraway for Clerk of Court, Mr J ' N Hammet for Supervisor and the ' five candidates for the House of Representatives. The meeting closed with an able address by Solicitor P H Stoll, candidate for re-election without opposition. The editor regrets that he was unable to attend the opening meeting, as is our custom, but we hope to be present at a later meeting and give at least a brief synopsis of each candidate's speech for the benefit of our readers.
