was nearly unanimous, Mr.. Parham
receiving every vote cast except his
own. The town in general are well
pleased with her new officers and
we hope for them a successful term
of office
If nothing unforeseen should hap
pen this district of which Bingham
is the capital will soon have a most
creditable school building of which
every one of intelligence should be
proud. The petition has been sign
ed and sent in to Supt. Lane and
on todays train Mr.. Lane sends
his surveyor, Mr.. Page, to survey
out the district. If there are any
votes cast against bonding the dis
trict it will be a surprise to us and
no doubt will come from some old
disgruntled bachelor Let the good
work go on.
Mrs. w. c. Hatchell is visiting
friends and relatives in Florence
this week we wish for her most
pleasant trip.
Mrs. H. Z. Parham of Rowland,
n. c., was seen on our streets Sat
urday and Sunday. He was visit
ing his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. W.
Prhaam. Wonder who he was Wis
iting in Latta?
Capt. B. Steele, of Kingstree, is
visiting his sons, Messrs. W. B. and
G. B. Steele.
The crowd that passed through
town Thursday and Friday enroute
TO the Springs was the largest for
some time and who should we see
in thecrowd but the Hon. Robert
Brunson, ST., Probate Judge who no
doubt is candidate not only for
Probate Judge but for some other
office of longer duration of which
only one vote will elect.
Hon. Manton Afford visited the
Springs one afternoon last week.
What in the world is the matter
now after his boasting of several
years that he does not have to Wis
it the springs? Time makes chan
ges.
The boxing match that was to be
pulled off here last Wednesday af-
ternoon by two of Bingham's. most
prominent prize fighters has been
postponed until a place could be Sc
cured as it now appears it may be
probable that the fight will have to
be pulled off in woods as the inter-
ference Of the Mayor would undoubt
edly stop the match here. 1t is best
for the boys as both of them have
lots of superfluous flesh and the
weather is very warm. One weighs
110 and the other 1O5. These twd
youngsters promise some day to- be
great rize fightpers. \
Two of Dunbar's young sports
were seen on our streets Sunday af-
ternoon, taking matters easy..It real
ly did look as though they had lost
something and after riding around
for some time they thought they
spied the goal but oh. the sad coun
tenance these boys had when they
discovered the fact that it was ma
ma. They were terribly surprised
at Bingham's not having a brick
store but Bingham had something
else for which their hearts went
out.
Hon. Thos. G. Mcleod of Ben
nettsvilel is visiting the home % of
Mrs. Afford near here and in
company with Mr.. r. l.. Afford he
spent the afternoon at the Springs
where he came near getting hurt
from a fall from a box Some of
the boys said they could not expect
anything better as he is running for
governor on the local option plat
form. Anyway its all right. Thos
G's local option is good Democratic
doctrine and you are made of good
timber, 80 go ahead and IL for fear
of falling stay on the ground and
don't trust boxes for traps are
sometimes set for men. Your route
now points to the Governors man.
