Trial Justice Moore has had some very inter
esting cases before lin in the past ten days.
Mr.. Giles, of Green wood, was employed in
one case and made very pointed logical ar.
gument before his honor. We hope he Will
come again.
"Sensation let 1t be-" Perhaps no horse has
ever created more sensation III this cornmun.
ity than the blooded stallion recently pur.
chased by Messrs. Frazier, Hale and Jaollson;
Realizing this fact his owners have named
Ninety-Six can now boast OF her Norinans,
her Mambrinos and her thoroughbreds.
We would like TO say something about the
entertainment given last Friday night by
reporters were here from q distance we think
it best to let them make the report.
We have been trying to persuade one OF our
prosperous merchants to run for the Legisla-
on" He IS neither dude nor politician. a
Granger or farmer, and while he loves inde-
pendence he does not think that platform will
win this time.
my words, agriculture will be side-show be-
fore this campaign IS over. The political
soreheads and outs have puzzled their brains
to manufacture some kind OF base on which
to ride into office. and have made up their
are easiest fooled, hence the call for a
farmers convention. We don't believe this
scheme will be so easily played as some peo-
pie imagine. AS far as our information ex-
lends the farmers are a thoughtful, prudent
class of men, and We do not believe they are
so easily entrapped as some people would i'm
agine, but be would warn them IN time 70
look well to the front. The near future Will
develop some astounding facts. Our idea IL
that the farmers are not so anxious for the Of
fees themselves, but anxious to put mon in
office who will look after their interests, but
not to the .neglect OF other interests. They
will find sharp scheming men who are ready
would be well TO bring some new men to the
front. The old horses are tired; let Them
wind awhile.
We have Investigated the matter and find
that Mr.. q. Mike Kinerd lives O little bit
nearer Ninety Six than Greenwood, but 1t is
q much better road, and at the same price he
would rather haul to Greenwood than Nine
ty-Six We only mention this as we wonld
not knowingly misrepresent things: We
want to be right on the record Mr.. "Y. u"
Capt. Hale sells shoes from Boston, but car
ries Il very pretty side line, product of South
Carolina.
The Ninety-Six and CokcSbury Railroad
bonds have all been duly signed, and now the
three hundred hands at work need not have
any fear about their pay. We would also
thank our friend =. P. B. for the offer Of the
loan of the famous wheelbarrow." but we do
not need it, and for his kindness we will see
that he gets pass over our rallrodu:
EAST END.
