will no longer only be ''tal-
ked of" but will do some
talking themselves. Before
many issues of the Chronicle
have gone out there will be
some announcements, but al
this stage of the game il
is hard to tell just whose
names will appear in the
announcement column.
For the office of House Of
Delegates there are the
names Of several gentlemen
mentioned, who are willing
to make the sacrifice anC
represent the country
among them being the pres.
ent incumbent, John Cornell,
Gran Johnson, E.. w. Gamer,
M. w. Hoskins, Gay Stall
maker, and Charley Taught,
all good men and true, any
of whom would make a good
Representative.
For the office of Coun-
ty Superintendent there
are many willing ones,
among those most promi-
nently spoken of being: c.. j.
Gamer, present incumbent,
Lee Gamer, of Pine creek,
c. M, Eismon, Homer White
and NIL. Hall. Each of these
men have a host Of frie1 dis
who would like to see them
have charge of the school
affairs of the country.
For county commissioner
there are not SO many anx-
ious ones. There are many
who insist that Hon. G. w.
Maze, the present excellent
incumbent, shall serve again
and the possibilities are that
he will. However c.. l..
Offutt, and l.. S. Witte have
been mentioned in this con-
nection and there are others
spoken of. These are only
a few of the names being
spoken of at the present
time. The winners may not
yet have been mentioned.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan 70
Governor Harmon sent to the
legislature today a message
concerning the high price
Of foods stuffs and the adj
visibility Of legislative in
vestigaClon thereof. He
adds interest to the message
by suggesting that law enac-
ted by Congress may be res
ponsible in a measure for the
trouble and asking an inves-
tIgation on this point.
The Governor, in his mes
sage, says that there has
been rapid and continuous
advances in the price of var
ious articles which make up
the needs of every house
hold, and further advances
are expected. The result
is pinching and often priva-
ton. There is wild S )rt ad
belief thar, among the caus-
c5 Of this, are comb nations
and conspiracies to stiAe
competition and adv ne thu
price largely. This belief
apparently is justified by
enormous differences be-
tween prices pail to farmers
cattle raisers and other pro-
ducers and those paid by
consumers to dealers from
whom they directly receive
their supplys. I feel that
this subject is one which
should be promptly and thor

There have been fewer MOSQUITOES
in Sumter this season than in any
year since 1889. Prior to the great
storm of August 31st 1898 mosoui-
toes were a rarity in this town, and
there were few mosquito nets here,
but within ten days after the storm
mosquitoes appeared in myriads and
nets became essential if one wished to
get a nights rest. Since 1898 there
have been more or less MOSQUITOES
every season, but never such a pest
as in that year. The comparatively
few mosquitoes this season has been
commented on by a great many peo-
pie and various explanations have
been offered. but the improved con-
ditions are attributed to the INSTALL
alton of the sewerage system, the
abolition of cess pools and the i'm
proved sanitary conditions of the
