State Pensioners.

There are AHA pensioners in the
State, devided in classes as follows;
Class A, So; B, 1923; l G, lmen) 1885,
2 G., (women) 1872. Spartanburg
county heads the list with $50 and
Georgetown has the smallest number,
II. The class A pensioners We're
paid several weeks ago and received
S96 each, the full amount allowed by
law. The amc u 1T allowed for class
B. is S72 and that for classes Cs
$39, but there being so many more
pensioners than anticipated by the
law makers, hence the amount on
hand is not sufficient to meet this
estimate the sum has been prorated
and class B will get about $27.1O
each and classes C's 1910 each. A
number of pension applicants in
classes B. and C's have been held
back by the Board it not being sat
isfed as to their regularity. They
will be acted upon at some future
date.

New Mail Carriers.

Our old friend, VIM. W. Koon, is
now the mail carrier from this place
to Ella.
Guam Bamburg, colored, carries
the mail from here to D. F. Shum-
pert's, on Black creek, a distance of
about twenty-eight miles. He foots
it there and back twice week. His
first trip was made Friday week, and
was attended with some rough and
amusing experiences. One of which
is he claims to have had to wade Black
creek and carry the mail on his head.
He did not get back until the follow
ing Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock,
nearly twenty-four hours behind
schedule time. He has since done
better. It is strange that the Post
Office Department will allow such
irregularities with the mails.

To the Voters of Lexington County:
Having been announced through
the columns of the Lexington Dis

State Legislature, after mature de-
liberation I felt that my physical abil-
ity would not allow me to enter the
race, as could not canvass the
county, and Immediately declined
Since my many friends have seen fit
to place my name the second time
urging me to accept, ''The office is
seeking the man not the man the
Office" Now, I will say to my friends,
if the office is seeking me, am your
man. I accept the nomination, and
promise you, if elected, to discharge
my duty, ever looking to the inter
est of the laboring man, OF which L
am one. am sorry I cannot visit
you all-you must take the will for
the deed.
Thanking your for the confidence
YOU have in me, and 1 will always try
to merit the same.

The Trisky Candidate.
School Commissioner.

Candidates for county Offices are
having high old time these warm,
and sultry mid summer days. Not
withstanding the intense heat which
has prevailed for sometime past, the
most of them are as frisky as young
lamb, as active as Josh Billings flee
and as smiling a basket of chips.
Nothing seems to rufle the evenness
of their tempers save where the
other fellow apparently makes more
friends, shakes more hands and kiss
es more babies. Both in and out of
season, though the sunshine and the
rain, nothing stops him in his ever
restl s and onward tramp towards the
attainment of his purpose. One day
he is here devouring barbecued pork
and other meats. Another time he
is there hiding fried yellow legged
spring chickens under his vest and
still another he is yonder sucking the
lucious melon or attacking a huge
dish of long blue legged collards,
bread and bacon. The poor candi-
date, he has our sincere commissera-
ton, but like everything else in this
fleeting and transitory life, bis
trouble, anxiety and worry must
have and end. God bless them, we
we wish there was an Office for every
mothers son of them.

LOS JUE6OS AThLETiCOS
Her Majesty and Her Court Entertained
at Athletic Park
Soldiers, Sailors. cabsIIeros, Indians, Stylish
Equipages and Thousands Of Spec.
tators at the Sports

The red letter day of the festivities
of the week occurred yesterday after
noon at Athletic park. when La Fiesta
games in honor of her gracious majesty
we re given. The very essence of carni-
val spirit seemed confined within the
great oval where 5000 to 1000 people
witnessed the sports and turned out en-
masse to be present with royalty. The
whole was Kaleidoscope in effect. The
ever-changing scene caught the fancy
of everyone, and each special feature
seemed of more interest than its prede-
ceSsor. The grand stand had u goodly
share of society representatives under
its spacious roof, and Dame Fashion
even spilled over onto the bleachers or
stood about the grounds anywhere and
everywhere, to be one among the many.
The crowd commenced coming at an
early hour, and surged with such per-
sistent force as to make it impossible for
many to gain admittance. The scene
presented by the great crowd was alone
worth the price of admittance. The fin
de secle man and woman, costumed in
up to date attire, seemed world apart
when looking over the grounds, where in
one section, We're the duSlly faces of the
Indians, standing out in bold relief
against their bright blankets; dashing
caballeros on prancing steeds gave one
a glimpse into far back California, when
hearts OF the people and this workaday
world had glamour of brightness and
sunshine that penetrated its dark cor
ners. The brass buttons of the navy
and military mingled in the throng
The small burros awaiting their turn to
take part i'll the afternoons pleasure
assumed for the nonce festal attitude
and at the far side of the field several
handsome four-in-hands were in evil
dence, the tloWerbedecked hats and
bright parasols of the ladies enhancing
the charm of the panorama. The street
gamin was ever with the multitude, and
what outdoor festive occasion would
be complete without him? A slight
scrap now and then among the most
pugnaciously inclined only enhanced
and not n1arred the interest of the sur
roundings.
When La Reina de la Fiesta arrived
with her gaily uniformed lancers and
charming bevy of girls that formed the
court, the scene was complete in every
detail. Four boxes on the grand stand
We're reserved for the royal party. The
queen appeared for the first time since
her reign without Scepter or crown. but
she looked every inch the queen in the

over white silk, the skirt garnished with

The chilly night wind kept many peo-
pie moving on the streets that otherwise
would have witnessed the pageant from
the tribunes, and consequently the as
semblage in the streets adjacent to
the royal pavilion was much less than
could have been desired

stones were cemented together by the
blood Of the slaughtered inhabitants In
| contrast to this. where ere the American
Eagle takes it's flight the millions of
people who recognize it as their national
emblem-people who have gathered
from the four quarters of heaven and
formed a composite nation of wondrous
possibilities and power-seek to build
up, not break down; to eXpel the evil
by expanding the good; to stimulate to
high thought and endeavor, not to CO.
cree or antagonize by working other
than in the direction of pure and high
ideal. This is the essential spirit of
Christianity albeit this is not Christ
ian nation. Despite the atavic predi-
lections of some, who at times show a
disposition to revert to the methods of
the brutal age, these principles must
prevail, or this, like older civilizations,
will crumble into the dust.
The tens of thousands of people who
Witnessed LAS Tierras del Sol' last
night saw floats representing the sunny
lands of the world. Persia, Assyria,
Greece, Judea, etc, passed in review.
What of them today? Wild animals
made their lair where was witnessed the
apotheosis of selfshness, and the night
owl boots on the spot where was laid
the solid foundations of almost every
branch of human knowledge.

destiny to shelter all nations, and,

poet who has voiced their cry:
