Texas it is San Antoine. Here, and

hear it placed on the second, the vest

oddly thus pronounced. Los Angeles,
Cal, is frequently mispronounced in
the east and west, being called Los
Angeles. The last syllable on the
Pacific coast is pronounced as though
it was spelled los, which is correct.

Glad to Meet the Boys.

t the Editor of the Dispatch:
It was my pleasure to attend the
county campaign meeting held at
Brookland on Saturday last. I had
longing to meet the candidates for
the various Offices, and the voters also.
I wanted to see whether they moved
around pleasantly and mingled with
each other as of old. 7 was glad to
note that everything appeared to be
moving along pleasantly, the candi-
dates in good humor and all conf
dent of success. Noticed some new
faces among the candidates for county
officers, and missed some who were
candidates when I used to go around
the county as candidate myself. I
could not but think of the years ago
when canvassed old Lexington as a
candidate for Clerk of Court, Treas
urer, and then for State Senator, and
I almost felt strong desire to be in
the race again with the boys. [ met
a great many old friends whom I had
not seen in a long time, which gave
me great pleasure, andI think they
we're equally glad to see me.
Mr.. Editor, if I had the time TO
spare from my business I would 90
around with the candidates to all the
meetings just to see all my old
friends. I have the most grateful
feelings towards the people of my
old county of LIE xington for the many
marks of confidence which I have re-
ceived at their hands, and I acknowl-
edge most cheerfully that it is to
them in large measure that I owe
the position / now hold in the service
Of the State. I am proud to say that
I am still a citizen of, and a voter in,
the county Of Lexington, having
never removed my citizenship to
R:cbland, and it will be great pleas
ure to me, whenever I can do so, to
render any service in my power to
my friends in the old county. With
my best wishea, I am, Mr.. Editor,
very truly yours, D J. Griffith.

E. T. RAUCH,
Who He Is and What He Is What Do
You Think?

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Well, reader We will answer the
latter clause Of the above heading,
containing the question, by stating
that we are going to sustain our i'm
preston and jndgmen By casting our
ballots for The person referred to at
the approaching pr mary, whose
name is E Thomas R .uch. candidate
for Cierksbip for the Circuit Court,
and who resides in that portion OF
Dutch Fork embracing White Rock,
Chaplin and Ballentine. He is, es
you know, full blooded lexington
ian, born and reared in this county.
and has always followed in the foot
steps Of his forefathers, whose fine
and upright regulations could not be
disclaimed by anybody. His two
grandfathers (on lis fathers and
mothers side) were the pioneers in
the establishing of Lutherism in
South Carolina and especially in Lex
ipgton county, to which they faith
fully aud diligently devoted their
energies. No member Of the family
on the Rauch side ever applied for
Office except Mr.. Thomas Rauch, and
only once previously by him, which
occurred few years ago. He Was
appointed Notary Public about six
teen years ago and has acceptab?y
and faithfully filled that position,
never having made mistake in con-
nection with it. Mr.. Rsuch is fully
competent to occupy the office to
which he aspires. He has previously
drawn up deeds and other papers
now on record in the Clerks cffce,
and the record books of that depart
ment will prove this assertion, to
which no objection whatever was ever
made. HIS competency and ability
for the position will not now and has
never been questioned by any one
with whom he was squainted, and we
hope and believe that be will receive
the acknowledgment and support of
every Lezingtonian who has the
slightest knowledge of his abilities
and competency for the place. His
conduct, honesty and integrity have
never been questioned nor doubted,
and no doubt never will be. His &c
niality and sociabili'y always procure
for him numbers of friends and cup
pcrters wherever he may be associated
with men.
Now, Mr.. Editor, our claim and
recommendation is not, nor is intend
ed to be, ref sction on any other
man, but is simply statement o1
facts as to the history and capabllity
of E Thomas Rluch, who is the
man Of our choice for the Office Of
Clerk of the Circuit Court ard woulc

man in the right place. Starting in
the lowest walks of se, by his bust
