He failed even to be second choice by just 1,477 votes. MT. Smith will no doubt remember thls the next time he aspireS to office.

THAT is a rather interesting COM
munication that is published in anoth-
er column over the signature or Mr'
w. B. Keller, of Yorkville r. F. d. NO.
| on the road question, and we are In
clined to think it will provoke some
discussion. if not in the columns OF
the newspapers. then at least among
gatherings of farmers at picnics ana
elsewhere. According to Mr.. Keller's
idea the roads can be made great
deal better by the farmers themselves
by a little gr&tuitous woiK at odd
times and he thinks that most people
should be willing to give this work
for their own benefit and satisfaction
regardless of the benefit that might De
derived to the public. Except for the
fact that Mr.. Keller himself is man
who practices what he is preaching
along this line, as is we'll known to all
his neighbOrS. we would hardlN leei
inclined to consider his suggestions
with much seriousness. There is moth
ing bad wrong with the idea, we ad-
nit: but it is the rare exception or
man who is willing to put himself TO
especial inconvenience doing work
even for himself when others who DO
nothing are likely to derive equal or
greater benefit The fact that the man
who does the work finds himself fully
COMPENSATED for his trouble is not suf-
ficient. To see others who could nave
bnlned and who should have helped
getting equal benefit and enjoying the
same without so much as thank you
TO the fellow by whom that beneht
was conferred naturally arouses the
old Adam in most people and prevents
them from doing many things they
would like to do. Take the case Of the
fellow for instance who drives stakes
to keep people off his land, and while
ordinarily the practice cannot be con-
demncd, most readers will have To ad-
nit that they have seen numerous m
stances where it would have been
much less trouble and much less eX-
caused the annoyance than it was to
drive the stakes. The stake driver
under such circumstances is actuated
by spirit exactly the opposite from
that which influences other folks to
benefit the travelling public while bene-
fitting themselves, and as a rule he is
not likely to do any road work beyond
that which may be accomplished by
his communication and two mill tax.
But the whole point of Mr.. Keller's
article is that If we are to have better
roads. people must try to see now
much. instead of how little they can
do. and there must be more generos-
ity and less selfishness. In all that he
says Mr. Keller is pretty nearly right;
but we fear that it will be long time
before he will have the satisfaction OF
seeing his idea recognized as the rule
instead of as the exception that proves
the rule.

ANOTHER COMET COMING.

ALLEGED NON-FULFILLMENT

Mr.. Wm Wisher, a well known cit
izen of Cherokee county, was in York
Vile last Saturday on business, and
while here had printed a circular
jumping on the superintendent of edu-
cation for Cherokee who is standing
for re-electon.
The circular is signed by ten voters
living on the east side of the river and
reads as follows:
We the undersigned respectfully
show that the present superintendent of
education for Cherokee county should
not be reelected for the following rea-
sons:
1st. Because he promised. To secure
our votes, that he would visit the
schools Of the county, on the east side
of Broad river, and he has not.
End. That he represented to the
people that he was competent to fill
the office, and he has shown his want
of fitness and qualification
3rd. That under the law a certain
territory, between Broad river and
Kings Creek, was surveyed for the
purpose of establishing a special
school district; twenty eight qualified
sgners. out of thirty-two, signed a pc
titiOn to him and the board to call an
election to establish said district. and
he and the board evaded action on the
matter by deception and false prom
ises, and refused to act on the petition
and give the people the right to vote
on the question.
4th These statements are made to
inform the voters of the county of the
kind and character of man they are
expected to vote for on the 3Oth or
August.
Mr.. Wisher is very much Interested
in politics, and discussed at length the
contests between Finley, Butler and
Henry for congress. Anderson, Hardin
and Hall for the senate, and Jeffrics,
Gaffney and Caldwell for clerk.
Because of the interesting manner
in which he discussed public affairs,
the writer was led to ask Mr.. Wisher
why he himself did not run for the
house of representatives, and in reply
Mr.. Wisher stated that he had more
than once been approached on the sub
iect: but had held back on account of
his health.
But if l should go down there he
declared. Il would try to do something
in the direction of amending the laws
as to larceny so as to make convicted
thief return to the owner of the stolen
stuff full value. If the thief had Moth
ing with which to pay, | would fix II
so that after satisfying the state for
his crime, he must continue in the
pentcntiary or on the chaingang at So
much a day until he had paid up in
full. AS the matter stands now, if a
man steals a hundred dollars from
you. and has that 800 on his person
when arrested he can use it To pay a
lawyer for his defense. Thcr" is a
mighty slim chance for YOU tn get any
of it back again. | think that should

THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

If the editor of The Enquirer were
only at liberty to tell all he is able to
pick up about the county campaign, re-
gardless of the sources Of the infOrma-
ton, the result would he some inter-
esting stories: but unfortunately such
information cannot be used as freely as
might be desired.
There are very few candidates who
are not willing to talk to the editor
freely and fully and without reserve;
but it is always with the understand
ing that they are not to he quoted and
hence the information is of value only
i'm a general way.
Sometimes we see proper To use in
formation thus acquired in the shape
of an interview with persons un-
named and while such use is always
more or less interesting, it's value is
necessarily discounted because of the
omission of the exact authority on
which it is based.
The politics of the present cam
paign is not quite so strenuous as was
the politics Of two years ago; but that
is largely because all Of the offices are
not being contested for However, the
same issues that figured two years ago
are easily discernible in the present
campaign, and with them are certain
new considerations that were develop
ed in the last campaign.
Upon the whole, however, the pres
ent campaign is lacking in certain
features that added to the heat
of the last campaign, and that are
likely to figure in the campaign of two
wears from now.

IT is only during its closing days
that the South Carolina campaign has
begun to attract any sort of attention
to which candidate stands the best
possible chance for governor, as re-
suit of the long drawn-out series OF
speech making. A South Carolinian in
Richmond has made the concise state
ment to the editor of the Times Dis
patch that: Mcleod will be the next
governor of South Carolina. There
will he a second primary in which the
race will be between Mcleod and
Featherstone. Mcleod stands for the
Democratic principle of local option.
Featherstone is i'm favor of Statewide
prohibition. Mcleod will win. Ii
uuor or no liquor, or rather, lquor by
legal sale or liquor unrestricted by the
LAWS the sole issue. In South car
olina, men and merit count for but lit
tie. Whisky and dispensary have been
the pivotal issues in that state Tor
over a quarter of a century and II To-
cal option now at last settles II, TO
the eternal obliteration of the dispen-
sary, South Carolina should be much
happier state.-Charlotte Chronicle.
What is the matter with you? Don't
YOU understand that the Richmond
Times Dispatch view is merely the
News and Courier and Charleston
view? There is absolutely no certain
ty that Mcleod is going to be in the
second primary with Featherstone.
Everything points to Blease as the
man who will run against Feather
stone. The Charleston man in Rich
mond was talking things as he would
like to see them, rather than as they
are. But surely the Chronicle knows
too much about the liquor question to
think that the election of either Nc
Leod or Blease would settle the mat
ter. The election of Mr.. Featherstone
might settle it; but the man who thin S
that the liquor people are more con-
sistent or persistent than the anti-li-
uuor people still has a lot to learn.
He does not even realize the eternal
truth of the time honored saying that
no public question can he regarded
permanently settled until ii has been
settled right. And SO far as ability Is
concerned, there is no more able man
in this gubernatorial race than c. c.
Featherstone and there has not been
a more able, earnest. consistent or
fearless gubernatorial candidate before
the people of South Carolina for years
and years.
