(>ur contest for trips to the Jamestown Exposition grows in interest i daily. Vou will see how the vote | now stands if you will look on page 1 one. Do not hold back your votes. Let them come in now. Spartanburg is discussing the advisability of holding a county fair. ^ A number of well known men are pushing the project, and it is safe I to say Spartanburg will have a fair if she wants it. A "fat-witted" man is defined by. Webster to be one that is dull. ^ stupid, wo nope tne commence-1 incut orators who will soon begin to i pour forth their eloquent strains v will not be "fat-witted." How'1 could we endure it through the hot summer time? ^ One of the gratifying features of . ii-i : wui umium ij"? in iiir mi'i mat ?i* an- adding new names to our list daily. This enables us to give our " advertisers a better advertising medium. And every new name we are adding in our contest is for one: year, paid in advance. Thank you, kind friends, one and all. On July l'the pay of rural mail j carriers is to 1m* increased from nine: to twenty-live per cent., the increase to be based upon the number of ^ miles traversed by carriers as shown by the records of the department. This, together with the appropriation by Congress will involve an aggregate of thirty-five million dollars for rural service during the next i fiscal year. (| a It is well that the pay of the rural s carriers has heen increased. They/ were not paid enough for their work, i Even now it is very poor pay for the 1 labor performed. , ======== l* The editor of The Times enjoyed v a visit to Crecnwood during the" state oratorical contest held thenlast Friday. The speeches were of a high order, the audience wan large it and the weather was good. The occasion was very enjoyable. The ( only thing that marred the occasion ' \A was the inadequate hotel accomodations. Greenwood is easily reached hy rail, and in that respect is just J the place for the meeting. Jiut Col-; 1 urnhia would he equally as well lo-! | cated, and would afford better hotel ( accommodations. We would l>e \ glad to see the contest held in Col- <" umbia. ' It is to Ik- hoped that the delay in v rendering a decision will be avoided ! in the future. The large audience i went away half mad f??r the reason that the decision was withheld ; some i way to prevent the like occurrence should be devised. It ought not to take two days to get to the fa<H of who the winners are. I Buffalo Ball Game. Buffalo, May 2.?One of the big games of the season will be played on i next Saturday against the strong! Tueapau club. The game will l>e played on the Buffalo grounds and a special train will be run from Union leaving at 3:30, returning immediately after the game. Tueapau will bring a strong aggregation, made up of good players, well taught in baseball tactis and eager to carry back with them floating banners. On the other hand Buffalo will be present with the goods. Coach Justus is rounding his men in excellent shape and in a recent interview with him, he spoke a few words concerning the strength of his team and the prospects. Hei expects Buffalo to do "stunts" and to win. Buffalo will be lined up as| follows:?Justus (i. 3h, Willard ss, Justus \V. 2b, or cf, Hinehart rf,1 Johns D. I'ettv 2h. Burns B_ If or cf, Dr. Berry 11), Iaunh e, Harden If or dh, Todd cf or If. The hiltiug of this squad has undergone marked ' improvement and one of the special features lies in the team work. As to the fielding of the club it is safe to say that it is far above the aver- i age in that tin* entire team works as one man and every play is gotten off | with determination. The game will Ik* started prompt- j ly at 4:Id with Mr. Ben Townsend ! as umpire and Dr. Keller as scorer. ! Mr. Townsend is well known and in every way a fair and impartial handler of the indicator. He is quiek and accurate in all of his decisions ' and Buffalo is indeed fortunate in getting him to officiate. An extra squad of policemen will be on hand j to take care of any boisterous or ungentlemanly spectators. The citizens of Buffalo extend an urgent invitation to Tnion and the i uirrounding country to attend the game. Nothing but clean and sportsmanlike baseball will be tolerated, so with the splendid clean* record of the Tucapau club such a game is a certainty and again, come' uut and bring some one with you.
