More than a half dozen prospective aspirants have been mentioned in connection with that office. ' * * * Lot all the old Con/?HATAi? wtwew attend the reunion at Charleston next month. The railroad fare will be cheap and the "old city by the sea" will do her part in taking care of them. * * * The dispensary profits accruing tc the county for the quarter ending March 31st, amounts to $023.10, o: which the town of Union receives one half or 8401.05. The profits for the previous quarter were about 31,150 The sum total for the year will prob ably be in tho neighborhood of $2,000 * * * Richland county and the people o Columbia have in a manner been disgraced by the change of veuue in cas of Crawlord, the State constable, lb killing Mrs. Stuart. Judge Watt was exactly right in allowing tin cnange or venue, ror anyone wno rea: The State for a week alter the dcct was 'committed would know that f people* under the tutolage of sucl editorials and head lines, would lorn opinions that would be hard to over come in the jury room. * * * The report published in the News and Courier recently to tho effect that Senator Tillman had formed a combination with Gen. M.. C. Bullet It defeat Senator Mcbfturir. for the eenati four years kcncc, is generally dis believed i.1 South Carolina. Tilimai is tco shrewd a politician to bcomci party to such a clumsy scheme, whicl would inevitably oveauate in his owi downfall. McLauriu may have bur himself politically by voting for th peace treaty, but he has tco man; friends in South Carolina to be easil; vanquished from the political arena and a man with Tillman's experience and judgment would hardly undertaki the job. ?
