Wagener Day.
News and Courier: The department
Of publicity and promotion is hard at
work on Wagner Day, which promis-
es to be the greatest day in the history
Of the exposition. The following letter
has been sent out by the managers to
prominent men all over the south and
thousands of the souvenir tickets will,
no doubt, have to be issued to supply
the demand: my Dear Sir: Thurs
day, May %, has been set apart as
Wagner Day at the exposition. No
citizen Of this state has ever display
ed such public spirit as Captain Wag-
ener, the president Of the exposition
company, in promoting the success Of
the exposition. It is the wish Of the
people of Charleston to make Wagner
Day at the exposition the greatest day
of the entire period. We have ordered
large number of souvenir tickets for
that occasion and, at the request of the
committee charged with the arrange
ments for the day, I write to ask that
you will act on committee to dispose
Of as many Of the souvenir tickets in
your community as practicable. The
railroads have promised to make the
lowest rate for WAGNER Day that has
ever been known in this state, and we
trust that we shall have thousands Of
persons from all parts Of South Caro-
lima in Charleston on that occasion to
testify their appreciation Of Captain
Wageners work. Please let me know
as soon as you possibly can the num-
ber of souvenir Wagner Day tickets
you will undertake to place in your
community"
Chester Politics.
| Chester special Of April % to the Co.
lumbia State: Since the club meetings
Of the Democratic party Of this coun-
ty were held last Saturday, the po-
litical pot has commenced to boil, and
indeed there is something stirring
about these parts and will keep up at
a lively rate from this time on. The
first announcements made were those
Of Colonel Jno. R. Culp and Captain
Jno. o. Darby, which appeared in the
last issue of The Lantern. The form
er is standing for reelection for a third
term to the office of county supervisor;
the latter thinks he is the man for the
same office and these two popular cit
liens will try conclusions. Captain
Jno. S. Wilson. after filling the office
of probate judge most efficiently and
acceptably for eight years, mas decided
to retire from public life, and quite a
lively race will be made for the judge
ship by Attorney j. Baxter West
brook, Captain w. H. Edwards and
very probably Editor Jno. Buchanan,
of The Reporter. Captain Edwards
has had experience in politics, having
once won the office of superintendent
of education for York county. He Is a
Chester county man, however, and
since returning to his old home he has
decided to try for office here. Editor
Buchanan was probate judge away
back in the sos and again In 1890 he
was elected for one term to the same
office, and 1t Is said that he AYERS that
the arduous and exacting duties OF the
editorial sanctum will not interfere
with satisfactory administration OF
the office for a third term. ]. B. West
brook, Esq. Is very popular young
attorney at this bar. He Is a hard
worker, has many friends throughout
the county and is known to be hust-
ling wire puller when it comes to poll
tics. This will be the prettiest and
most interesting race Of the campaign
No announcements have been made fol-
the legislature as yet. Senator Glenn
will not stand for reelection. He
If he so desired. He has concluded to
take a rest from politics for at least a
short season at any rate. He will not
run for lieutenant governor this sum-
mer. Representative P. L. Hardin Is
spoken of for the senate, and If he runs
there will hardly be any opposition
Representative A. L. CASTOR and ex-
Representative ]. Wilbur Means will
both be in the race for the house, and
1t is highly probable that both will be
elected, even If there should be half
dozen candidates. Hon. Peter T. Hol-
lis, who has ably and positively repre-
4 sented Chester in the house for five
consecutive terms, has retired from
politics and positively declines to make
the race again. 1t looks now like the
third man will be hard to find, but the
place will hardly go begging. 1t Is
thought w. o. Guy will not have op-
position for the treasureship. Auditor
Hood will stand for reelection and will
meet with opposition.
