The announcement of the Hon. c. L. Blackwell, of Whiteville township, as a candidate for Repre- sentative in the Lower House of the General Assembly of the State, will be found in today's issue. Mr. Blackwell is no stranger to the Democracy of Jefferson coun ty. He is an old and honored citizen of the county and has been prominen in the councils of the party since the war. Jefferson county ca mot boast of a more loyal and enthusi- astic Democrat than be. Neither is he a stranger to the position to which he aspires. He has served the people of this county in the State Legislature during the past, having been member of the lower house during the legislative session of 1895. During that session he introduced a bill to force corpora tions to settle with their employees at least every sixty days, and ad yoeated all measures in the inter- est of the laboring and agricultural 
 Mr. Blackwell is farmer and is thoroughly familiar with the wants and needs of the farmers and the laboring people, aud is in thorough sympathy with them. Therefore, if nominated and elected to a posi- tior which he once filled with fdel- ity, he will again serve the people honestly and to the very best of his ability. The GRAPHIC comments his candidacy to the consideration of the Democratic voters of the county.

Mothers Half-Hour club.

The beautiful new home of Mir. and Mrs. J. W. Crawford, on South Chest nut street, was the scene of a very unique and pleasant social event.

 The new parl0rs were tastefully decorated for the reception. The as- sembled guests were entertained with music, recitations, and literary dissertation Several very highly appreciated piano solos were render ed by Miss Mary Gillespie. Messrs. s. A Kincaide and 2. yoss rendered vocal solos, their pure male voices making delightful music. Several readings were given by Miss Reba Dewoody in her highly pleasing man. ner.

The dining room, which was beautifully decorated, was pro- vided with four tables, of pink, blue, red and green, which were tastefully decorated to match. The menu was composed of quotations from Shake peare (the clubs author). The deli- cacies which ladened the tables would tempt the palate of modern Lucullus. The guests partook of them with relish which showed their appreciation.
 The many thoughtful attentions of the hostess proved her a most ac- complished entertainer. The occa- sion was memorable event in the social experience of all in attendance.
