 | -Dr. T. B. Benton, of Hamburg, Ashley county, passed through our place last Saturday. He has been making the tour of the Western and Northwestern part of the State look ing for q desirable location. He in- forms us that Alma and Russell vile are the most desirable points he has found, and it is more than likely that he will come to one or the other of these places to locate.

The only cause is his politics-he being d Tilden Democrat. Col. W. is, of course, Hayes republican.

It looks, now, us though there would have to be a legal con- test to decide the matter.
