THURSDAY, Nov. II. 1897.

From a two-cOiumn edli0r.a In
in the Columbia Record OF Satur-
day last, We clip the following,
which will give our readers some
insigh, as to the movements of the
politicians:
"a desperate effort will be made
by the politicians To defeat the re-
election of Governor Ellerbe," "
says the Rock Hill Herald. "The
chances are indeed that he viii
have much opposition. Those
who figured on such matters at
: all have a variety of names to
suggest as gubernatorial pos
sibiliiles, and among those sug,
gested are Mr.. VIM. Z. MCGOWAN,
Of Abbeville; former Congress
man George d. Tillman, former
Slate Senator 2ohn r. Harrison,
Congressman Talbert, Secretary
ofState d. II. Tompkins, Judge O.
w. Buchanan, former Judge j. III.
Hudson, either w. ID. or s u.
Mayfieid, State Senator Rober'
Aldrich and Commissioner Leon
J. Williams. If even fractional
part of these materiallze into
candidates the canvass will be
pretty lively. OF all the number
however, only Uncle George Till
IDsn or Judge Hudson are fitted
for The Office" The Herald allows
jts partisan prejudice to blind Its
jud&nIent. IL is singular that il
thinks only two of the eleven m n
nallicd are fit to be governor, and
those two are Conservatives or
ssiormer Conservatives" as The
State would put it. The Record
ismore liberal and will say that
any one Of the eleven men NAM
ed, with the possible exception oi
s. a. Mayfeld, would make at
leass as good q governor as Wm. H
e .ierbe has.

four hours; a sediment or settling

During the night of July IA, George
Pierce's large barn was burned to the
ground. Two calves, one cow and many
| tools and the greater part Of his hay was
burned with 1t in spite of the hard work
of those neighbors who saw the flames.
With much difficulty the other buildings
were saved. The loss is estimated to be
nearly if not quite, $4,000 with only an
insurance of $4OO. The fire is believed
to be of incendiary origin and parties
are suspected. And we all hope that
proof is fast coming that the guilty
parties may be brought to justice.
