edge that our county contains men so
lost to the sense Of honor and manhood
as to be guilty Of such contemplate
practice. Every candidate should scorn
such men and let them know without a
moments hesitation, how contemplate
such caliber and character Is not
worthy Of dependence and should be
disfranchised If such thing was pos
sible. For pity sake, be man when
you go to campaign meeting, or for
ever stay at home. Do not go and
make yourself an object Of contempt
and disgust in the eyes Of men. Be
sure you are spotted, and we'll known
when you show your face in a crowd,
and 1t will follow you to your grave.
1t is fine legacy indeed, to hand down
to your children. There was one
scrap between two men at the rear Of
the court house. They were a little
too enthusiastic over their candidates
and an argument soon became person.

was no doubt expecting a much heav-

while ago this same little Negro stole
a keg partially filled with bolts and
sold them to party in this town. The
point we wish to make Is that any
person buying such things from boy,
especially one of this character, lays
himself liable for receiving stolen
goods. 1t is ridiculous for one to claim
that he had no suspicion that such
articles are stolen. What man Of Or

Miss Kathleen Moore's condition Is now
much improved. Her mother has been
with her for a week or more. Mr..
and Mrs. ]. A. Robbins have removed
from the Dillingham; residence to the
White Memorial manse on White
street. ..... If you ever expect to be-

certain local candidate once said that
If he would offer for office he felt as
sured he would head the ticket at one
end or the other. He didn't lack much
of being a true prophet. ....A postof-
flee has recently been established In the
Cornwells mill neighborhood, with the
name Of Mildred, Miss Bessie Clinton
being the postmistress. The office Is
supplied twice each week from Rock

day and Saturday. 1t Is the expecta-
tion that a postoffice will also be estab-
lished along the same line at the home
of Mr.. ]. r. Westbrook... 1.-The propo-
sition has been made that on account
Of prejudice in the central and western
sections of York against CataWba
township candidates especially, the Vo-
ters of this city and township should
take no interest whatever in any future
primary. 1t is certain that it does seem
that the only right we have In this
township Is to elect candidates from
other sections to office and pay taxes
to support them; but things are not so
bad as they really seem. 1t is true that
Mr.. Stewart was Stayed at every box
in the county except at Rock Hill and
Fort Mill, and Mr.. Boyd suffered the
same fate except at Rock Hill and
Coates Tavern, while the home box OF
Mr.. Hull voted against him, as did An

Mill, Newport and Tirzah on the east
ern side of the county, while in the CEN
trail and western sections he carried
Yorkville, Bethel, Glover, Bullock's
Creek, Hickory Grove and Smyrna. AS
