gle on Twelfth street, Miss Susie
Peden was united in marriage to Mr..
j. w. Becknal, Rev d. 7. Waynick

Vile, to visit relatives before going
to their future home in Helena.

WE hope as much interest will be
taken in the Congressional race on
the oath, the district over, as prom
ises 70 be taken in the legislative
race here in Columbia tomorrow.
When the people are aroused and
enough interested to go to the polls,
they generally vote right. Vote for
the man whose past and present,
private and public, personal and
political record you most approve,
and, whatever the result may be,
your conscience will not hurt you.

ELUSIVE PRESENCE.
And didst thou come, thou long lost, longed

And didst thou come, thou long lost, longed
for one,
That day when, thinking not Of thee, l cried
For respite from my foes on every side?
Didst point the refuge whittier I could rum
And didst thou come that evening drear and
dun
When thinking not Of thee-too sorely tried
looked and saw the western clouds divide
And the fair setting Of the full orbed sum-
And didst thou come on that dark, signing
dawn,
Swallowed with troubles Of the day to be,
When suddenly obeying thy still call
We're all those surging fears dismissed and
gomez
And dost thou come all hours and blessing all,
Except the hour when most think Of thee

ENTERTAINMENTS.

Master John Padgett. the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. P. Padgett
made a number of his little friends
happy on Wednesday of last week
by treating them to a delightful
lawn fete. When they had romped
and played to their hearts content
delicious refreshments were served
and then with demure and stately
bows they expressed their thanks to
the good lady of the house, and
scampered home-innocent, joyous
and happy.

If the same amount of interest is
taken in the county at large as is
being shown in Columbia, it is a
hopeful sign and argues we'll for the
Democratic convention to be held
here next Monday, for the purpose
of nominating legislative ticket.
This interest has manifested itself
only in the last day or two, but is
growing, and promises to be lively
enough by the time the polls open
tomorrow, at p. m. The dele
gates chosen to select our repre-
sentatives, should be such men as
would themselves make good repre-
sentatives. Birds flock together,
and men vote for their kind. In
choosing your delegates therefore,
choose those of your kind; and then
they in their turn-if they are true
T. their trusts-will nominate men
of their kind. Which, as we have
said before, throws the RESPONSE
bility, first and last upon the voter.
DON'T fail to vote, therefore, and
vote right. There will doubtless be
two tickets in the field. Both of
them, perhaps, will have some good
names. But one of them will be
better than the other. And you

want to study them both; their per-
sonel and purpose; not only the
'created, but the "creators;" who
put these tickets out, and why; for
in politics, you know, there are
wheels within wheel" Our
Democratic readers should be care
full also in selecting Executive Com
mitteemen for this district. They
should choose men of character, and
Democrats who never desert their
colors. The party is not in good
shape in this county, and in the
next two years will need vie cOun-
sci and safe leaders; the strongest,
most representative men of the dis
trict, therefore, should be placed up
on the County Executive Committee.
A REPORT is current that an effort
is being made to nominate candi-
dates at the legislative convention
next Monday, who are opposed to
what is known as the fee bill;'
that is, the bill which places officers
on salaries, and will save to the tax
payers of the state annually thou
sands upon top of thousands of dol
! lars. What truth there is in this
report, we are frank t. say that we
do not know; and it should not be
accepted against any mans candt-
dacy unless there is shown to be
some foundation for it. We men,
ton it for the purpose of making the
suggestion that as this is a most i'm
portant question, and that there
may be no mistakes or regrets there
after, a resolution would be in order,
before the nominations are made,
instructing our representatives. to
vote to sustain said bill and against
any and all amendments curtailing
or abridging its good work. If any
of the candidates hold contrary
views, they could then step down
and out; for certainly none of them
would care to go to the Legislature
and vote either against their con-
sciences or the wishes of their con-
stituents.

The Louisville Courier Journal
contains a lengthy article telling of
the romantic marriage of Miss Elsie
McCOwn, of Bowling Green. Va,
and Mr.. Louis Czapski, of Louis

marriage on the night of September
l, 1897, more than year ago, but it
was not until this week that the
marriage was made known, and OF
course it created much surprise
among their friends. Mr. Czapski
has many acquaintance here who
wish for him and his bride much
