MIR. A. L. STEVENS
Authorizes The Times tn Announce His Candidacy For Sheriff and
 Collector of the Revenue.

In the announcement column of this issue of The Times, may be seen the authorized announcement of Mir. A. l.. Stevens as candidate for the of- fee of sheriff and ex-offlcio collector of the revenue of and for St. Francis county, 10 which your attention is re spectfully directed.
 Al Stevens, as he Is familiarly called, Is we'll known to nearly every business man In the county, and to large number of farmers, mechanics and those engaged In other avocations, and counts them all his personal friends. He Is thorough-going busi- ness man, and heretofore has never been a candidate for any office, having been content to confne his participa- tion in the game of politics to work in the ranks, in which capacity he has always been found true to his party and it's best interests, and al- ways willing and ready to do any hon. orable thing, which seemed necessary or needful for It's success.
 MT. Stevens is . man of the highest integrity. sober, conscientious, able, anu qualified III tiIe highest degree to to fill the position to which he as- pires in a thoroughly business-like and competent manner. His educa- ton and training makes him pecu- liarly fitted to disharge the duties of ant and thoroughly trained office man. In the matter of guarding the peace and dignity of the state and county he is also we'll qualified to dis charge the duties of sheriff. He is calm, conservative, cool, brave and fearless when duty calls him, and possesses a magnetism and great deal of influence for good.
 Fortunately, perhaps, he has taken no part in the political disturbances which unfortunately have heretofore divided the party into so-called fac tions, and comes before the voters with clear and clean record, witt no apologies to make, and numbering his personal friends by the score il both or all factions, or better still without reference to any factiona lines.
 If given the nomination and elect ed he promises to give the business O. the office his time and utmost atten tion, and to discharge the said dutie. in business-like and impartial man ner and to the best of his ability. Vt Francis county, as worthy of theil most distinguished consideration, ane bespeak for him your kindly consider ation.

JEFF BREAKS THE RECORD.

Senator Jefferson Davis, of Arkan. sas, true to his word, has already set a new precedent for the new member of that great body. Heretofore, says a Washington, new senators have occu- pied their seats for sixty or ninety days merely as spectators-"saying nothing, but saving wood" Not So with the junior senator from Arkan- sas. He had scarcely gotten the seat comfortably warmed up, when he in- troduced his pet hobby-"the most drastic antitrust law ever framed"- and gave notice that he would address the senate on the bill next Wednes- day, and by so doing he smashed one of the deepest set precedents of the senate.
 The Washington correspondent says:
 sworn in as member of the Uni ted States senate last Monday, intro duced trust-busting bill today, fol- lowed by formal notice that he would discuss his measure on Wednesday next, mark the brief senatorial career of ex-Gov. Jefi Davis of Arkansas.
 "The junior senator stated repeat edly in his campaign against ex-Sena. tor Berry that he would do things when he got in the senate, and his antitrust bill today is 8 sudden start in ths, "ireci .ou.
 Senator Davis smashed one of the deepest set precedents of the senate when he gave notice that he would speak next week. For years 1t has been customary for a senator serving his first term to keep his seat, look profound and say nothing, and with two or three exceptions recorded ir recent years this custom has beer rigidly respected.
 "Beyeridge and La Toilette made the deviations, but neither of then broke out until they had been silen, onlookers for sixty or ninety days Senator Davis will have been in tht senate ten days when he makes hi first speech. His bill, was introduced today, is several thousand words lon, and is entitled An act to suppress pools, trusts and combinations il trade and to provide penalties fo violations of its provisions, and fo other purposes The bill probably i what Senator Davis says it is-th most drastic antitrust measure eve introduced iD the United States. Tn penalty for violation of the bill 1 both fine and imprisonment; the fin is S5,00O for every offense, and eacl day that the act continues to be vic lated shall constitute separate of fense; imprisonment shall be for period of not less than five nor nor than 2I years. The fact that tn combination was consummated in foreign country shall not be ofYere, as a defense.
 There is no doubt that Senate Davis will speak to crowded galleries as his peculiar style of oratory ha made him an object of exceeding in terest.

We are frequently asked the ques- tion, When and where are the candi- oates going to take the stump in this county?' It is generally the case that candidates for the legislature do most of the speech-making, and make the dates, but as there is but one candidate so far announced for the legislature, it hehooNes others to an- nounce and start the bail to rolling, g or for the candidates for treasurer and assessor to make the welkin ring and wake up the natives

4: SAD AcoIDENT,
Mr.. Newton r. Lester Meets Awful
r,I5 Boiler Explodes Negro Also
Killed Another Injured.

- y 3 r. - a. 10 .F =.
The killing of Mr.. Newton r. Les
ter at his saw mill some eight miles
south of Newberry on Teusday was
one Of the saddest accidents that has
happened i'll this county in long
time. -, ~. ~. Eia%> >.,
Mr.. Lester was one Of the most
substantial and progressive citizens
in this county. He was about FORTY
five or fifty years Of age and leaves
a widow and several children, who
have the deepest sympathy of the
people, not only of that community,
but of the entire county.
Will Owens, colored laborer, was
also killed in the explosion and AN
other laborer very badly bruised up.
Our Prosperity correspondent Civ
es a more detailed account of the exa
plosion. just how it happened, or
what caused it, may never be abso-
lntely known, but it should be a
warning to others, who handle sim
liar machinery, to be careful. aud even
with the most careful handling these
accidents will sometimes happen.

1hs Receipts already Guarantee 1t
--UvtllclA Snould DO Its Part
Now Promptly.

1t is now beyond question That the
receipts at the post ofice in New
berry will entitle the city to free de-
livery OF mail. In fact, the receipts
are already beyond the minimum fix
ed by the government to entitle us
to tins service, and the receipts for
two are yet to be added. .
The question is now up to city
council to comply with the require
ments OF the government as to streets
and the numbering of the streets,
and the numbering of the houses. This
is matter which should have the
immediate and prompt attention of
city council, 50 that there may be no
delay in. securing free delivery. "
The main thing to be done, we pre-
sumo, is to have the houses numbered.
The streets were all named and the
signs put up few years ago. Some
OF these may have to be replaced and
new streets, which have been opened,
will have to be named. but us it ap-
pears now, about the only thing to be
doAe is the numbering of the houses.
