Candidates for treasurer came
next as follows: Messrs H E
Scott, G w Johnson, R B BSmith ,
S w Gamble, ] G Lifrage and
H p Baldwin. These were fol-
lowed by Messrs William Cooper
and T Olin Epps, candidates for
superintendent of education.
For probate judge, Messrs S McB
Scott and E NJ Smith were pres

Mr. R K Gamble made a brief
speech, his competitors, Messrs
H NJ Burrows and'W S Grayson

sioner, Messrs W W Moore, w

A r Eaddy were absent. For

NJ Brockinton made brief
speeches, Messrs J R Cox, G K
Mitchum and ] Y McGill being
absent.
Every candidate was listened
to with polite attention and the
audience, numbering some $50,
was liberal in bestowing ap-
plause. The tedium of the meet,
ing nearly four hours long was
relieved by bright bits of humor
and ludicrous incidents-all of
which seemed to be free from
malice and taken in good part.
Messrs B G Whitehead, G j
Graham and ] j B Montgomery,
candidates for clerk of court,
sheriff and auditor, respective
ly, all were present; but being
without opposition, Mr. White
mead explained, they had agreed
to spare the patient listeners
their contribution to the feast
.of oratory with which the au.
,dience had, doubtless been filed
to repletion:'
At a future meeting we hope
to give syndpses!of the other
speeches, to attempt which in
this article would be to wholly
disregard the mechanical limita-
tions of a county newspaper.

Work on the bank building is
now going on in earnest. The
walls are several feet high and
are being pushed up rapidly:
The outside is being built OF
white hydraulic brick and the
penciling will be red. The bank
entrance, will be at the corner
and fashioned something like
the entrance to the Argyle hotel
in Charleston-a large arch join

Messrs D NJ Epps and H V Epps
who comprise the firm of Epps
& Epps, among our most popular
and progressive merchants, left
last Monday for an extensive
and extended trip through the
North. They will visit many OF
the leading cities of the North,
anono them Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The principal object of the trip
is to buy their fall and winter
stock of goods: They are de-
termined to keep in the very
front rank of our business
houses, and they ransack the
leading markets of the country
to find the very best bargains
for their customers that money
can buy. They will get just
what this market wants and at
such prices that they will meet
all competition. On their re-
turn they will have something
interesting to say to the readers
of The RECORD through adver-
tising colums.

down his saw mill next to the

Last Fridays rain put so
much water in the old McAllster
mill, which has recently been re-

Saturday morning.
The town council is having
good deal of work done now.
All drains have been cleaned
out, new bridges built where
needed, the streets and side
walks weeded and repaired and
a good deal of drain piping put
down. Of course some more
work is needed, but what has
been done is a vast improve
ment and the only criticism we
hear is that it should have been
done before the hot days of sum
mer.
Only about a fourth of a to-
bacco crop has been made this
wear and the weather has not
been at all favorable to work
ing the little that has been rails
ed. These things considered our
sales are good in quantity and
especially good in prices. Our
warehouses are handling pro-

a good many. The prices are
one to two hundred per cent bet
