slstent advocate of purity in our pen,
sion system. He is we'll known in
the up country. Col. Jno. D. Frost
or Columbia, the popular and very
efficient assistant adjutant general,

Floyd, as will Mr.. Panl Aver of An
derson and the dashing Col. Jack
Boyd Of Greenville, who has never
quit being q soldier since the days
when he was "Johnny Reb."
The Office Of rsilraod commissioner
seems to be soft berth. At any
rate there are more candidates for
this office than for any other.
Among the candidates who are 80
far in the race are Mr. Henry J. Ki.
nard ofGreenwood, who is, perhaps,
the leader Of the economists Of the
house, although he is not narrow in
his views; Mr. J. G. Wolling of Fair
field, whose SUCCESS as merchant
and farmer would augur success as
State official, il also in the race.
Senator b. l.. Caughrin Of Saluda,
author Of the "Jim crow" car law, is
a candidate. Mr.. j. O. Wilboorn of
York, the present chairman, will
stand for reelection, having served
eight years. Mr.. w. Boyd Evans is
a oapdidste--and there are others.
No member Of ,ile house aspires to
be governor--yet. There is one
candidate on the other side Of the
State capitol. Lieut. Coy. J. II. Till
man and the winner will have to de-
feat about half a dozen other candi-
dates, among them Gov. McSweeney,
Col. W. Jasper Talbert, Capt. d. q.
Heyw of Colleton, and Mr.. IT, NJ.
Ansel Of Greenville.
The leading candidates for lien
trnant governor are Hon. Frank B.
Gary of Abbeville, whose ability and
fairness as presiding officer are az
iomatic; Senator s. q. May field, WHO
has been for eight years chairman Of
the selate's MOST important commit
tee; Senator j. Lyles Glenn of Ohes-
ter, and Mr.. Cole. i. Blease.
Since the redistrioting of the Slate,
there have been a humber Of buds on
the flower Of congressional aspira.
tions. In the first district it is
thought that Mr.. Geo. Legare of
Charleston will be elected. In the
second dlstriet the following names
have been mentioned, and all will
probably run--Willism Elliott of
Beaufort, e. Duncan Bellinger and
j. o. Patterson Of Barnwell, j. w.
Croft Of Aiken, and j. VIM. Thur.
mond of Edgetield. Mr.. Bellinger
is the fearless, aggressive and brainy
leader Of the antitrust element of
the State. COL Croft agreos with
Mr.. Bellinger in that fight, and is an
eloquent and powerful defender of
the common people OIL the floor of
the house.
In the hird district the candidates
will be: Senator George S Mower OF
Newberry, Senator Graydon, ex Son
ator McCalla and Wyatt Aiken of
Abbey'lle, Geo. E Prince of Ander-
son and DIR. Smith of Dickens. The
latter has not been heard OF much in
politics, but he is said to be a very
formidable candidate,
Mr.. Joe Johnson will not be re-
elected in the fourth DISTRICT without
opposition He defeated MIR. Stan,
yarne Wilson by about 5000 votes
1t ls rumored that Senator Dean oi
Greenville will try conclusions with
Mr.. johnson.
In tn" fifth MIR. Finley will stand
for reelection and Gen. Floyd and
Solicitor Henry will oppose him. DR.
Strait will run again.
In The sixth no opposition to Con
gressman Scarborough has developed
In the seventh Mr.. Levers most
formidable opponent will be Senate,
