A sneak coward last Sunday,

Cy of Frank Koupal who with his
family attended the services in
the chnrch, and cut up three sat
chefs and a ladies' waist that were

Postmaster Novak desires to
call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their boxes
eacn time they desire to dispatch
letters, instead OF supplying them
selves with postage IN advance of
their needs. This practice impos
es undue hardship on rural car
riers in removing loose coins from
boxes and delays them on the
service of their routes. The post
master, therefore, urgently re
quests that patrons of rural deli
very provide themselves and keep
on hand a supply of stamps con-
sistent with and in advance of
their needs. 1t is also very desir
able that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to
place coins, when necessary, in
purchasing supplies of stamps.

COUNTY POLITICS,

People are fond Of saying that there
is no interest in the political situation
up to this time; but that is probably
because there has not yet been great
deal Of noise.
The people of York county have long
maintained a most healthy interest in
politics and for that reason York is one
of the best governed counties there is
in the state.
1t Is a fact that there has not yet
been much alignment behind candi-
dates; but that is not to be taken as
q lack Of interest. 1t merely shows
that the interest the people are taking
is intelligent. They are not disposed
to commit themselves too enthusiastic
cally until they have had an opportu-
nifty to consider the best in sight.
OF course, it cannot be claimed that
the voters of York county invariably
select the best they have to choose
from; but that is not the fault Of the
voters The majority Of them always
try to do absolute justice, and when
they make mistakes it is through
causes other than deliberate design.
When individuals go to market to
select goods, it is their intention to get
the best qualities and largest quanti-
ties at the lowest prices; but they do
not always do IT. People who may be
able to offer these advantages and who
are glad to do it. often fail to convince
the people who are hunting the same
OF their ability to supply what is want
ed. In a like manner, the best and
most available candidates are some
times overlooked because Of the ina
bility of themselves and friends to
make their qualifications known to the
voters.
But we have great confidence in the
ability of York county to make proper
of public officials. 1t may be
that they sometimes fail to take the
means to supply a sufficient variety Of
choice among candidates; but they
will generally come pretty near select
ing the best that are to be had.

x. M. MONUMENT.

Dirt was broken last Tuesday on the
foundation of the monument that the
national government is erecting ir
commemoration Of the battle Of Kings
Mountain.
Contractor Dagon, of the Spartan
burg Marble and Granite company is
doing the work, and it is his purpose
to push it to completion as rapidly as
possible.
The site Of the new monument Is
about one hundred yards north of the
monument that was erected in 1880
and it's height is to be 115 feet.
Already this tardy recognition or
the part Of the government has begun
to attract renewed public interest tc
the historic associations of this local
ity, and there is a noticeable increase
in the number O: foreigners who are
visiting the spot.
1t will have to be confessed, how
ever, that there is much discomfort ir
trying to visit Kings Mountain at this
time. The roads, especially on the
York side of the line, are in very bad
condition and the bridges over Kings
creek and Clark's Fork are dangerous
On the North Carolina and Cherokee
sides of the line, the roads are in very
good condition.
There is a growing sentiment in IA
vor Of making pleasure park of the
battle-ground and providing a conven-
lent and comfortable pavilion for the
use of visitors; but as there is no rea-
sonahle hope Of returns on the neces-
sary investment, there is little hope OF
anything of the kind being done at the
present time.

The marriage took place in the pres

ty affair. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. J. K. Mccain, the groom's

some years past the foster father Of
the bride. The handsome parlor in
which the marriage took place was

rather slowly to old crop gains but
were helped to some extent by pre-

Such crop news as reached the mar

and the strength Of the near positions

bull factor. All of the old crop months
sold into new high ground for the

For Vice President.
THE SENATORIAL RACE.
Daily Mail Makes Interesting Com
ments on Starting Bunch.

We have two new entries I'm the
senatorial race-Col. w. w. Lump
kin of Columbia and Mr.. ]. P. Grace
of Charleston. They came In osten-
sibly as dark horses, but we are IN
clined to think the role Of calico po-
MES would suit them better.
Col. Lumbkin, as you will remem-
ber, entered the race against Senator
Tillman two years ago, and after two
or three campaign meetings he got
cold feet, although the weather was
quite warm, and jumped. the game.
He may do the same thing this year,
or he may not, but in any event it
won't make much difference in the
final wind-up. Nobody ever found
out why he entered the race two
years ago, and his entry this yelr will
be as much Of mystery as 1t was
then. All this is said because it is
true, and without any intention of
discounting the assertion that Col.
Lumpkin is mighty fine man and
most eloquent speaker-oh, so elo-
quent! -
The entry of Mr.. ]. P. Grace of
Charleston is about as great a sur
prise as would be occasioned II the
Hon. w. H. Sharpe Of Lexington
county should go to Denver and de-
mand the Democratic nomination for
the presidency. Mr.. Grace-remem-
ber the name-was a candidate for
mayor Of Charleston some years ago.
This is his chief claim to fame. He
got some votes, we believe, but not
more than enough to put him in the
also ran" class. The anti Rhett fac
ton In Charleston Is not very numer-
ous but ii is very assertive, and Mr..
Grace's candidacy. Is plainly an at
tempt to take as many votes as posi-
BILE from Mr.. Rhett in Charleston
and in this way cripple his chances
Of election. We believe II will react.
though, and will help him through
out the state rather than injure him.
1t will show the people that the poll
ticians realize that Mr.. Rhett Is a
very formidable candidate indeed,
and that desperate efforts are being
resorted to in order to weaken his
strength.
The race as it now stands has these
entries: John Gary Evans. George
Johnstone, o. B. Martin, E. d. Smith,
R. G. Rhett, w. w. Lumpkin, ]. p.
Grace. That is the way it stands
today. There will probably not be so
many candidates later on and there
is plenty Of time yet in which to pick
the winner The only interest The
Daily Mail has in the race Is the wish
to see the best man win-and we hope
the friends Of no candidate will re-
gard this pious wish as lick at their
favorite.-Anderson Daily Mail.
