Saturday night of typhoid fever, Mrs.
Vera A. DuRant, wife of MIR. John G.
DuRant, aged about 50 years. The fu-
neral took place at the DuRant family
burvine ground in the Fork, Sunday af-
ternoon. Rev. Mr.. Mccoy conducted
the service.
The ladies OF the Paxville Baptist
church propose helping the candidates
draw q large crowd for the campaign
meeting at Paxville by furnishing a
dinner, cream, lemonade, ETC., the pro-
ceeds to be used for the benefit Of their
church. Candidates. this will give you
an opportunity to give your constltu-
ents hot food as we'll as hot wind.
We regret very much that it will be
impossible to attend the first two cam
paign meetings = Smith schoolhouse
and New Zion, as we should like to give
our readers synopsis of the speeches
of the legislative candidates. but we
will appreciate it very much If some
friend will mail US brief statement OF
the position of each one in time for our
next issue.
Complaint reached US that the Silvor
package of The TINES did not reach
that postoffice last week. 1t is not our
fault, we mailed it from here at the
regular time and along with 1t the Pan
ola and Fielder packages; these, we are
told. went through al right, and they
are transferred at Silver to the rural
route. We cannot understand why the
Silver package failed to get there when
the other two packages reached there
safely.
Died last Monday at his home, near
Manning, Mr.. Neighbor II. Holiday,
aged about g. years. The deceased was
in town last Friday in his usual jorial
humor and his friends were shocked
when they learned OF his sudden taking
off. Mr.. Holladay was good citizen, a
substantial farmer and had many
friends. The burial took place yester-
day at the family burial ground near
his home. Rev. J. O. Cough conduc-
ted the service and Capt. D. J. Brad
ham made some remarks also.
The club roll OF the Farmers Plat
form Club at this place is being rapidly
increased with names, many of which
live at considerable distance from sthe
town, and close to other clubs. It has
the appearance of carolling voters to
the court house for manipulating in the
interest Of clique. We are told tnat
this clubroll numbers nearly 500 names,
and the two other clubs in the town
have about 800. What does it mean?
About one half the entire voting
strength enrolled at the county seat.
Are the country clubs satisfied with
this condition? caroling voters at
central point is tactics Of the notorious
Addicks of Delaware.
We caution the army of candidates
to beware of the candidate who tells
them, ::well sir, wherever I have
been they tell me that you and | are
sure of election" This trick is being
worked in order to get the support OF
the candidates, but if a candidate who
is thus patted on the back will make a
proper investigation he will ind that
all OF his opponents have been fed
by the same man with the same
lump of sugar. Another Shiny
trick is to ascertain who a voter
favors for some other Office, and the
slick candidate will say to him Il and
YOU are right together and l am doing
all can for him. just watch for this
sort of thing and you will catch on to
the hypocrisy easy.
Died in Manning last Saturday even
ing, Eva, the eldest daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. E. J. Browne The deceased
had been i'll with typhoid fever, and
was thought to be better. wheI she
took relapse with pneumonia, and all
that human skill could do was done to
save her. The earnest prayers OF a SYM
pathetic community were offered up
that this sweet, bright and pure child
might be spared, but it was otherwise
deeree6, and she was taken to Him who
gave heg The funeral service took
place in the>Manning cemetery Sunday
afternoon in the presence OF large
and sorrowing congregation. Eva's
pastor. Rev. A. n. Brunson, being
away, Rev. O. 3. Loving Of Greelyville,
who was here filing the Baptist pulpit
in the absence of the pastor, conducted
the burial service. The pallbearers
were made up of schoolmates, Herman
Euggins, Dunwoody Ridgeway, Stew
art Harvin, Joseph Yassney, Ingram
Bradham and Frank Clark. MIR. O. E.
Webber, funeral director. 1t was a
large assemblage OF people who turned
out to attest their love for little Eva,
and their sympathy for the bereave-
ment that has beer visited upon the
family.
We direct the attention OF our read
ers to "a Card" IRON Hon. J. II. Le-
sesne, who announces his candidacy for
reelection to the House of Representa-
tives. Mr.. Lesesne was given a very
hattering vote in the last primary and
he feels that having served the people
conscientiously ne is entitled to an en-
