all lovers of peace and harmony to see
that our county campaign has started
out on a high plane. The three meet
ings already held go to show that what
I have advocated for some time is true;
that our people are growing morally
better. Yes, isn't it a blessed thing to
see the candidates go before the people
seeking their suffrage only upon their
own merits, and not upon the dement's
of their competitors? And right here
l want to say that this is the best way
I ever struck to Judge the inside of
candidate. When you strike man who
delights in telling something bad on his
rival you can just put him down on the
black list. I attended the meeting at
Jolly Street last Thursday, and am
very much pleased to say that it was
one of the quietest and loveliest cam
paign days that this writer has ever
witnessed at old Jolly Street.
There were about 400 people present,
and everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves mingling together as Christian
people always ought to do in quiet
and peaceful manner. But I must be
as brief as possible as the Herald and
News reporter was there who has
furnished full report of the meeting.
Mr.. W. B. Boinest, who is chairman
Of the township, seemed to be engaged
in helping with the barbecue and asked
Mr.. E. H. Aull to preside over the
meeting, whichhe didin very graceful
style. The candidates from the highest
to the lowest were out almost in full
force, and I must say that they are all
good looking and clever set of boys,
and don't think that the business in
terest of our county would be in danger
in the hands of either of them; not
withstanding large number of them
will be forced to step down and out on
the 26th of next August. Our candi-
dates for the general assembly all made
good speeches.
The 'cue was furnished by James and
George Richardson, and was a tip-top
dinner. In fact Jolly Street is down
on record for place to get good bar
becue dinners. We want to ask the
advocates of the child labor bill ques-
ton: Suppose your bill becomes law.
There will have to be penalty or pun
ishment attached for the violators of
said law. If Bill Jones is not able to
send his children to school and neces-
sity which has no law forces him to
work them in the cotton mill then evi-
dently Bill is violator of the law. To
be sure. Under such circumstances he is
not able to pay the penalty, then must
the poor fellow be locked up in Jail or
serve his sentence on the chaingang,
while his children are suffering at home?
Stop and think, dear friends, before it
is too late.
Miss Cora Dominick resumed her
school at Union Academy this morning.
There will be communion services at
Bachman Chapel next Sunday with
preparatory services on Saturday even
ing previous.
Mr.. N. C. Gallman is working in the
Newberry Roller Mills.
Mr.. Jno. C. Turner, of O'Neall Sec
ton, spent last "Wednesday night with
Thos. L. B. Epps and family, and
Thursday night with us.
Miss Olive Feagle has been attending
the summer school at Newberry.
J. Y. Floyd, candidate for County
Supervisor, spent Wednesday night
with Mr.. Thos. Epps.
Mr.. William w Cromer, who is a
candidate for Auditor, and Mr.. R. H.
Kbler of Long Lane, spent Thursday
night with Mr.. Epps.
Our editor won't have much time for
writing editorials for the next six weeks,
therefore we must excuse him. He
has got great big hump on his back
and will make the rest of the boys
rack who beat him.
Thank you, friend Push, for your
kind invitation to partake of those
melons and grapes. Ifnot providentially
hindered we will accept in a very short
time.
A. C. Latimer and John Gary Evans
are throwing mud in very indecent
manner, while Col. George Johnstone
is picking up the plums. That's right,
Col. George, we want you to go to the
big house with clean hands.
We would like to give an account of
our trip to Long Lane last Saturday
and Sunday, with good many other
local happenings, but as this letter is
already too long, we will conclude the
balance latter. l. j. W.
