Our cotton market is flush and the
staple coming in mnrc rapidly than
we have ever known it at this early
season. We quote nIiddlings to-day at
81 GEMS.
Our merchants are receiving aud
opening their fall and "'inter stocks of
goods, which are large, we'll selected
and cheap.
We do hope the cotton seed oil mill
and fertilizer enterprise will not go the
way of the door, sash and blind factory,
| tannery, brick yard, and canning fac
tory, which seem to have passed AZ L
tale that is told.
Mr.. L. S. Bowers, our efficient Post
! Master has resigned his position and
Mr.. L. Irving Feagle appointed ir his
stead, The reason of Mr.. Bowers re-
signing Is that he secures more lucra-
tive business. Mr.. Feagle Is a gentleman
of high toned character and will proba-
bly, fill the office acceptably to the
people and with credit to himself.
At meeting of the citizens of the
town and surrounding country on last
Wednesday the subject and feasibility
of erecting a cotton seed old mill at this
place was fully discussed. The impor-
tance of such All entei prise in our midst
seemed to be fully realized, and COM
mittee of three persons from the town
and ten from the cor ltry were appoint
ed to solicit subscl ptions for the enter
prise. The committee from town are
H. G. Moseley, A. H. Kohn and l.. S.
Bowers. From the country Rev. J. A.
Sigh, l.. L. Dominick. a. y. Boland,
J. A. e. kibler, II. T. &. Hunter, inc.

D. Hardy at large.
The primaries are over, and every
thing has quieted down though every
body is not happy and serene. The
"insn are glad and the outs naturally
wish they were in. The second prima-
ry was the most exciting and hotly
contested campaign, I'VE mean the Con-
gressionaD that We have been in since
of both Johnstone and Norris put in
the best work they possibly could COM
mand. Nearly every body seemed de-
ter1nined that his man should win.
The friends of Johnstone were conf
dent that with proper work he would
win, and on the other hand, Norris
friends were equally confident that he
would win. A large crowd Of the
friends of both men, eagerly waile ed
around the telegraph office until late
hour with the hope of hearing some
thing definite, but the office closed
leaving all in doubt. Next morning
the anxious ones again rallied, and
kilograms were piled to various PLACES.
Finally it was announced that Col.
George Johrstone bad won the fight by
small majority, A tremendous and
continuous shout began at the tele-
graph Office and rapidly spread over
town.
A body of about fifty Of our best
citizens made arrangements to go to
Newberry, and with Col. Johnstone's
friends there, hold grand jubilee.
These men boarded the 7.30 train on
the G.. n. & L. road, and sped away to
Newberry, where Col. Talcot had gen.
erously agreed to hold the Anderson
train until their return. The boys left
with shout, shouted at Newberry,
anG came back home with shout. So
mote it be. 4UBE.
