Echoes from the Campaign.

From the opening speech it has been
conceded that Mayfield is the ablest man
in the field. All the candidates quote
from his speeches, and refer to what May
field says.
Senator Mayfeld's position on the de-
velopment of markets for cotton is un-
answerable. He is welcomed by all bust
ness men, farmers, merchants, mill labor
ers and manufacturers. At Johnston his
speech was a literary gem, its delivery
superb. At Edgefeldhe held his audience
enchanted; at Graniteville, he spoke to an
audience standing in front of the hotel,
yet not 4 man moved or woman spoke,
and when be ceased the applause burst
from an audience which went there ad-
verse to him; at Aiken the only disturb
ance was from some self-interested parties
who sought to annoy him, but his clear,
manly statement and joke swept the au-
dience as an electric wave; at Barnwell
the most powerful speech of the campaign
was delivered, his reception was great for
he had served this county faithfully and
we'll, and the audience hung on his words
spell bound; at Bamberg, his home, his
reception amounted to an ovation. His
speech was chaste, ornate, pithy, strong,
eloquent plea for the education of the
people, his argument for the industrial
development Of the South unanswerable,
and carried conviction with it. Indeed"
he said, lit is with poor grace that my
opponentscomplain, saying Mayfeld is an
eloquent man. Did not God choose Aaron
to plead the cause of the children Of
Israel before Pharoh's throne because he
was eloquent and able? Let me plead
your cause before the Republican hosts"
1t is clear that the fight is to keep May
field out of the second race. All the can
didates are friendly to him, and each next
to himself hopes Mayfeld will win.

Gala Day in Branchville.

/ Last Friday, April 18th, was gala day
for Branchville, an epoch in the history
of the town. The occasion was that OF
laying the cornerstone of the new Meth
odist church, which the enterprising
Methodists of the town have recently
begun to build. The structure is OF brick,
modern in it's architectural design and up
to-date in its appointments and finish,
and when completed to cost $4,000.
The interest of the whole town was
shown BY the closing OF all the stores, the
bank, and every place of business, that all
might be present and enjoy the exercises
Of the occasion. A large number OF per
sons from the country around Branchvllle,
and from the neighboring towns OF Orange
burg, Bamberg, St George, and others were
there to enjoy the day with "all Branch
ville," enthusiastic in the new church
enterprise. ..,,
At II q. M, the crowd having assembled
at the site of the church, Bishop W. W.
Duncan conducted the beautiful and ap-
propriate services of the ritual OF the d.
E. Church, South, for laying the corner
stone of churches, after which he made a
very appropriate and eloquent address.
He complimented them on their good
work, and encouraged continued giving
until the church was completed. After
the exercises we're over the large crowd
was served to an elegant dinner at the
very low price of twenty-five cents. Some
speeches were made in the afternoon,
and then the people went to their homes,
carrying pleasant memories of delight
! full dav, never to be forgotten, not only by
the people of Branchville, but by all who
were present and received the courteous
kindness of her enterprising citizens.
Such an enthusiastic spirit of enterprise
as Branchville has must be an inspiration
to other towns contemplating like en-
terprise We say "well done" Branchville
Methodism, and hope to be able to say it
to others at an early date.

Tinted spectacles for Beauty.
re New York Times.

Tinted speetacles," said an optician who
displays a sign advertising that he makes
a speciality of them, ARE mainly for wo-
men who demand that their beauty, as well
as their sight, shall be considered. A light
gray or a pale blue eye looks very weak
and unattractive through ordinary eye
glasses. By slightly tinting the lens we
can add very much to the color of the pu-
pill of the eye and to the general attract
iveness of the face. The tinting does not
at all interfere with the magnifying prop
critics of the glass. In fact, some oculists
send us prescriptions for tinted glasses,
maintaining that for blue or gray eyes
they are far superior to the ordinary crys-
tai glasses. Blue eyes absorb more light
than brown eyes, SO that any tempering OF
the suns rays is sure to be beneficial"
