.. If there is an election for pro
bate judge this fall the woods will be
full of candidates. or at least that Is
the prospect at present. Only two have
been announced so far but several are
waiting for the knowledge of whether
there will be any race, and as soOI
as that is decided they will come out
Besides those in the city 1t is rumOr-
ed that two or three important citi-
zens in the county will be in the race
One thing certain, there will be nc
''walkover" for anybody. The matter
of holding or not holding an election
until next summer is still being dis
cussed. AS said before there are good
citizens on both sides and the matter
will likely cause more discussion and
argument before ii is settled. II
would be a good thing for any pros
pective candidate to enter this race
for thereby he could get into trim fol
the campaign next summer. .......
Work on the arrangements for the
Confederate rally is going forward
rapidly. So far the list of speakers
includes: Gov. Ansel, COL w. w
Lumpkin, Miss Grace Lumpkin and
Captain Startling, all of Columbia
These are all fine speakers and vii
give the old soldiers and others q
treat on the 10th. AS stated before
the address of welcome will be deliv-
cred by Mayor Caldwell and there
will proably be other home speakers
on the programme. A large crowd is
expected and the only thing needed
is good weather to insure tre-
mendous outpouring of the people
from all round.
