When asked the reason for the ex

ly due to the superstition that tt
be bridesmaid three times is un
lucky. Some brides cannot Sc
cure among their friends a girl wht
has not served twice before in thil

PULLMAN TO ATLANTA.
Announced That Sleeper VIII be Pu1
on From Atlanta to Columbia
Early Next Month.

The Columbia Record of Saturday
carried an announcement that
early in September Pullman Sleep
er would be put on between Columbia
and Atlanta, going from Columbia to
Clinton via the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens railroad, and from Clin-
ton to Atlanta via the Seaboard. This
car would be carried towards Atlanta
by the afternoon train from Columbia,
which reaches here at 7.25, and would
enable Newberrians to board the
sleeper here and wake up in Atlanta
next morning, supper being taken in
Clinton if desired. On the return trip
Atlanta would be left at night and
Newberry passengers would reach
here at SAT next morning.
This would be a great convenience
to the travelling public, and it is very
much to be hoped that nothing will
interfere with the plans to put the
sleeper on. 1t is a need to which The
Herald and News has on several oe-
casions called attention, and it will be
recalled that not long since President
Childs said that his road would put on
this sleeper if arrangements could be
do With ha Caohnor5
The Daily Record stated that before
the sleeper could be put On an addi-
tionaI side-track would have to be
built in Clinton.

make the growing Of truck and farm
products profitable. The system is
complete in every respect and the ser
vice all that could be desired. The
bank officials tell me that the rural

any other one thing to increase indi-

Editor Herald and News: We note
With pleasure what Mr.. Klettner has
to say in reference to Hon. Cole. L..
Blease. T can truly voice the senti-
ment I have known Cole. from. his
childhood. He was a bright, friendly
little boy, a smart school lad, and who
can say that he is not today brainy
man-yes, a very live man, quick to see
and to act, and as true to his friends
as his father before him, and he was
as true as the needle to the pole. And
why should not all the people be the
governors friend? Yes, I endorse
Cole. L. Blease for governor not sim
ply because he is my friend, but be-
cause We need live man, a man just
like Cole. Blease, who can see and act
and agitate. The best of cream set to
churn will never make butter without
agitation, but will become stale, just
as our government will be unless you
have a live man at the head. Why I
was talking some time since to a man
who I Thought was pretty we'll in
formed. When in conversation he
mentioned Gov. Anderson, Gov. Ander-
son, several times. I said, my friend,
you mean Gov. Ansel. Oh, yes, he
said. had forgotten his name. You
see that good and n2s: going man Coz.

tested.

Atlanta, Ca, August 21.-The Demo-
Gratis of Georgia on Tuesday will
choose a governor and eleven other
State officials, as well as seven con-
gressmen, in primaries, in which nonai7
nation is, in all cases, equivalent to
election. All the State officers will be
elected under the county unit rule,
that is, the primaries will be followed
by convention, at which all the dele
gates from each county will vote as q
unit, according to the majority vote In
their respective counties on each can
didate, making it possible that can-
didate receiving the most votes in the
State at large will not be the man
chosen by the convention.
Three -C0rnered Race.
For governor there are three candi-
dates: Governor Joseph M. Brown, for
mer Governor Hoke Smith and Edward
n. walker. Ine race is between Brown
and Smith. The past struggles Of
these two representatives are the
South's most picturesque history,
Brown being State railroad commits
sion chairman, whom Smith, while
governor three years ago, deposed, on
ly to have this ex-chairman turn the
tables by defeating him for governor
when Smith desired the denomination.
So intense is the interest now that
polls have been taken of the passeng-
ers on trains, corner groceries have
had straw votings and it is not uncom-
mon to poll office building elevators
In their flights between floors to learn
whether their occupants preponderate
for Brown or Smith.

Mr. Mann's Exit.
Anderson Nail.

Anderson Nail.
Rev. Coke D. Mann has done we'll
to withdraw from the race for coll
gress. Nobody has ever taken his
candidacy seriously, except possibly
himself.
It was like him to make a fling at
the county chairmen in passing. 1t is
not our r1--ce to defend them, but we
think the point Mr.. Mann has made
is not we'll grounded. Provision had
been made for the candidates for
congress to speak at the campaign
meeting here next Monday, and our
understanding is that the same thing
has been done in the other counties in
the Third district. Mr.. Mann had all
the opportunities for addressing the
voters that any reasonable man could
have asked. The trouble was that no.
body wanted to hear him.
But what's the use? The weather
is TOO hot to talk politics, anyway.
