Immediately succeeding themselves.
In 1895, when his brother Charles was
elected Sheriff as his successor, he
became his chief deputy and continued
to serve in that capacity until elected
Penitentiary Warden in 1898 to fill out
the unexpired term of Hon. Walter
McLaurin, resigned. After serving one
year, he declined to stand for re election
as Warden, and decided to become a
candidate for Chancery Clerk, and was
nominated for that office by large
majority over two of the most worthy
aud capable citizens of the county
thus demonstrating, in the most pro
nounced way his great personal popu-
larity with the people. 1t is not toe
much to say that Mr. McNair is per
sonally acquainted with more people
than any other man in Lincoln county
and it is not believed that there is &
man in the county who has more warn
personal friends. He is generous anC
obliging to fault, and this makes hin
the popular favorite that he is.
By those who know him best, Mr.
McNair is considered more peculiarly
adapted to the office of Chancery CLERK
than any official position he has evel
held. He possesses the qualifications
for model Chancery Clerk, and his
a ADMINISTRATION of the office will doubt
less be highly satisfactory in every
particular. He will be efficiently as
sisted in its important duties by his
daughter, Miss Addie, and his son in
law, Mr.. j. B. Hardy.
Mr.. McNair is married and has two
grown daughters, son aged about l6

Exnensiya War.

Our Spanish war was neither a
great conflict nor of long duration,
and the Philippine rebellion which
followed it, has never risen to the
dignity of agreat struggle, says the
Philadelphia Times. Fighting at
long range, even when there is
little real fighting to be done, is
expensive, however, and the fig
nres furnished by the various de-
partments at Washington show
that war, even on a small scale
comes high.
The total cost to date, inclU ding
the $40, 100000 paid for the Philip
phines, of the combined military
and naval operations sineS the out

share, or S255,000,0 ,00b, has beer
