10 describe each other. Columbia and
Manning are not very far apart, and,
as both parties have railroad passes,

Zoo much has not been said in its

Senator Thos. F. Brantly, of Or
zngeburg County, who is candidate
for Congress, says that his friends say
that logically" he must run, and
he therefore hopes to succeed the
late Congressman Stokes as the rep
resentative of the Seventh District.
The premises leading up to the above
mentioned logical candidacy seem to be
that Mr.. Brantly wanted to go to Con-
gress three years ago, but did not
reach the goal of his ambition be-
cause Dr.. Stokes received the most
votes, that Mr.. Brantly was subse-
guently eaecsed to the State House of
Representatives; that Mr.. Brantly was
more recently elected to the State
Senate; that Mr.. Brantly has made
speeches in doubtful States in. behalf
Of the Democratic party; that Mr..
Esmntly ss5ill wants to go to Congress.
I've admit without hesitancy that,
EogEcarly, or otherwise, Mr.. Brantly
T1nst run, for, when man wants to go
60 Congress, he must run, and run his
level best, Or he won't get there. The
Eaes that he has made speeches in
doubtful States, which. by the way,
were no longer doubtful when the
Eotes were counted after the elections
Succeeding Mr.. Brantly's speech-mak-
ing, for they were captured horse foot
and dragons by the Republicans; nor
the fact that Mr.. Brantly canvassed
the district in opposition to Dr.. Stokes
Rhree years ago with national issues as
She hone of contention, both claiming
9he same bone; nor that Mr.. Brantly
has been elected to the House and
Senate by the good people of Orange
burg County among whom he was
raised and who know him best and
appreciate his worth most, do not
logically force him to run. None
cEf these things have any inherent or
SogZ ca1 mustness about them, and, Of
themselves, could not impel or coerce
him into running: but when it is ad
nadsed that Mr.. Brantly still wants to
go 5e Congress, it is borne in upon
our consciousness that there is a great
massasss omnslling him to grid UP his
lsiN.& and Get into the running.
Logically he must run; of course he
must, and 50 must all Of the dozen or
more others who want to go to Con-
gnss, no exception being made OF

Macon. Ca. July 30.-One OF the scri-
ous effects Of the drought in Macon
county has been manifested in the vii
lsge of Ethel. whore forty OF the prettiest
and most popular girls got together and
formed what they called an Emergency
Society" the bylaws OF which stated
that no member should receive com
pany" until the drought should be broken
by a real soaking rain.
Several showers fell and the disconso-
late swains Of the neighborhood hastily
harnc5sed their best nags and undertook
TO break the sparkling drought.
These were ehillngiy referred 10 the
specifications IN the constitution. and
told TO wait till Il rained.
There was a circus AZ Ducklin tho early
part Of The week Ducklin Is six miles
from Ethel and Ethel was gorgeously
decorated with posters
The Emergency club held an emer-
gency meeting and decided 10 suspend the
rules for one day-circus day. Notices 10
that effect were sent 10 the boys. Each
member OF the club received a response
from her particular admirer requesting
on the morning OF circus day.
Needless 20 say, all the members OF the
club were at the station attired in their
best frocks and i'm great glee over the
prospect of fun IN store. They waited till
train time. Then the president OF the So
ciety looked up the street and saw a pro-
cesson moving stationward. She scream
ed and the officers and privates of the
Emergency club ran 10 her assistance.
The awful truth needed no diagram.
Every unregenerate one who had invited
an Emergency girl to meet him at the
station was coming 10 the train with a
brand new girl on his arm.
The meeting which followed was anus

tremendously inquired IL the girls were
going 10 the circus. Each Emergency
girl took the first opportunity to read
over her note OF invitation. Each found
that II was merely an invitation to be at
the station; nothing was said OF the circus
