JONESVILLE NEWS. Jonesville, July 8.?The primary election held here last Saturday for post master was one of much interest to the people of the township and a full vote was polled. Three candidates were in the race, Capt. R. W. Scott, R. Lee Kelly and Claude W Whitlock. Scott and Kelly had been aspirants for the office for the las' six months or more and they had thejr friends already working for them* Mr. Whitlock just came into the race about two weeks ajfo when it was decided to leave the matter to a primary and for this reason he did not poll many votes. C&Dt. Scott wd)' i elected by a good majority which wifi i no doubt settle the matter as to who will get the appointment. As Sena- < tor Tillman and Congressman John- I 'A.on recommended the primary.

Goshen Hill, July 7.?We have experienced some of the coldest and also some of the hottest weather of any June for quite a long time. We have suffered for rain. We were too wet to plow on the 16th of April and had only two or three showers that about laid the dust from that date until June 6th; and since June 6th we have had only a few light showers. Crops are clean but small and generally poor stands. Very little cotton on red lands. Several good rains have fallen around Goshen Hill and above. We are in the extreme lower end of the Township. Just below us two to four miles they had fine rains three or four days ago. Gardens are burning up. Late planted corn looks well and has good stands. Th roads in lower end of this Township from Whitmire bridge to Newberry county line below R. S. Hardy's place are a disgrace to any set of county commissioners. They pay no attention to us whatever. We have had no work by the chain gang in over three years and just a few holes patched at last year. There is an old "adage" that 'a new broom sweeps clean" and we had hoped that we would get some recognition from the new board, but alas, the sai.te old tale, the cm n tr and tVitt oi?nm , n ps vi.v owailJ StiapC ut work in the big voting townships, it looks about like this: there are only 8 or 10 votes below Goshen Hill and if we don't get them it won't matter much. We got used to the non-attention of the old board but we did expect better ' things from the new board. I have never heard of any of them being down here to see " about the roads and creeks. Some creeks are in bad shape and need attention badly. The roadg in the upper end. of our Townships are kept in "apple pie" order. Those roads were worked and scraped two or three times and nothing done below Goshen Hill. I just want to let the people know how we are neglected down here. I endorse every word my friend "Telephone had to say about the barbarous and heathenish conduct of the mob over the dead body of Austin Talk about the colored race returning to barbarism but I have never heard of them committing any deed comparable in barbarity and heathenism to the mutilation of Austin's dead body by that mob. The idea of cutting off portions of his dead body to carry home as souvenirs is revolting beyond expression. Is there no law to punish such acts of barbarity? Whither are we tending I had u letter from one of the county commissioners week before last raying he would be down here the past week but he did not come. I wrote the board some two months ago about our roads but they treated my letter with contempt. What belomes of the taxes paid on our roads? The money is paid in for the express purpose of being spent on thrft road but it is not spent here. If the money is spent down here there certainly is no work done to show for it. One of the commissioners wrote me that they could not pet the road machinery over here on account [>f the bridpes. Well; if the people in Goshen Hill township are not to pet any pood from the new machinery, they oupht not to be required to pay for any part of it. Let the people who pet the work pay for the machinery. That seems to me to be nothinp but common sense justice. If I have misstated any facts about the roads, I am open for correction. Yours truly, "Occasional." WEST SPRINGS HAPPENINGS. Wes Sprinps, July 8.?Mr. Pinckney Lancaster and Miss Delia Hyatt went to Union on last Saturday afternoon and were quietly married. Rev. L. L.
