AS to the development of the

of nearly rs per cent. 1t ap.

The fact that the Southern
and the country traversed by it
are both rapidly developing and
prospering is cause for mutual
congratulation and rejoicing. No
one should Ibegrudge that great

hands of friends" and actual
ones running only because of a
widespread demand tor their
services has become political
joke, and we wonder that any
effort is made to keep up the
threadbare delusion. Sometimes
it does occur that there is a
strong and wide insistence upon
certain men to stand for office
but it is rare in this day and
generation. When it does hap
pen we all know it.
Editor Brice sizes up the stu
alton with remarkable accuracy
for man who has never been a
candidate himself. But it is an
open secret in newspaper offices
that most announcements are
written in the office where pub
lished. a candidate will hand
The newspaper man the amount
OF his fee for such publication
with the remark: "Annouuce
me as candidate for such and
such an oliice-you know how to
fix it up--and sign Many Voters
or Many Friends or something
of the kind" OF course, as the
Record says, now and then a
genuine announcement by friends
is made, but such instances are
indl d rare.
We agree with our Columbia
contemporary that it would be
better for every candidate TO an
uounce himself. But, at last, il
is largely a matter of taste, so we
leave the matter with the candi-
dates themselves.

that the Lee county board endor-

ANNOUNCEMENTS OF CANDIDATES
FOR OFFICE.

The time being about at hand
for announcements Of candidates
for public office to appear in the
newspapers, the Columbia Rec
ord comments at length on the
manner in which the announce.
ments are usually made, that is
to say, "at the earnest solicita-
ton of friends" etc. In the
course of it's remarks our esteem
ed contemporary says:
These things read as if the
aforesaid friends of Mr.. So-and-
So had surrounded him, backed
him up in corner and threaten
ed to brain him with clubs ii he
did not consent to make the race.
In one way it looks as if Mr..
So-and So was rather ashamed
of being candidate and wanted
to explain it and apologize for
it on The ground that he was
forced to enter the contest. Of
course that is not the meaning
intended to be conveyed, but on
the contrary that his friends re-
cOgnjzed his eminent ability and
fitness to fill the place for the
best interest of the people and
insisted upon him giving up his
private affairs for a while and de
voting his whole time, thought
and energies in behalf of the
stale. 1t is an endeavor TO make
it appear that the Office is seek
ing the man, and we wish it
were so. That is unfortunately so
inirequent these days that it is
not at all necessary to proclaim it
to the world, for all the world
knows it and makes little ado
about il. The man is simply put
in office and that's all there is to
1T.
We doubt whether this sort
of thing does a candidate any
good, especially when every body
knows that the great majority
of them are fairly itching to gel
the official job in the first place
and have been working for
year or more in advance to be in
a position TO "accept" the nomi
nation. We believe the people
would much prefer an open,
candid statement from can

are competent to fill the place

would like to have it for the

salary attached, which is always
