LANDSLIDE OF VOTES FOR POWER
IN RACE FOR CLERK OF COURT
SCHOOL OPENING
NEXT MONDAY

superintendent Makes Requests of
Patrons and Scholars as to Opening
Days.
The city schools will open Monday
morning, when all the young folks
Will file in for another sessio nof hard
work. Supt. Jones is expecting the
most successful year that has ever
been experienced, as he has a corps
OF teachers which he has the greatest
confidence in.
The superintendent will be in his
office Thursday and Friday of this
week from until IL o'clock to give
promotion cards to those pupils who
may have lost theirs during the sum-
mer. He will also give examinations
to those pupils who have been study
ing during the summer months.
He also desires to see at the same
time all new pupils for classification
and proper assignment No pupil will
be permitted to enter a grade on Mon
day without a certificate from the
all these this week.
Parents who desire to consult the
superintendent on any matters con-
corning their children at the opening
of school are urged to see him this
week. 1t is simply impossible for the
superintendent to give intelligent
thought to the numerous requests and
suggestions that usually come to him
on the opening day. Hence the re-
quest for these to be made before
Monday if possible to do So
Printed lists of the text books may
be secured at the Palmetto Drug
Store the last of the week, and pupils
can safely buy the books listed for
their grades and are urged to do so
before Monday and thus avoid the
rush.
Parents are asked to cooperate with
each other in breaking up the prac-
tice among the children of trading
in books and, where possible to do
so, secure for their children all new
books. Remember that germs Of dis
ease may be lurking among the pages
of old second hand books.
On account of the illness of Miss
Meng, pupils for the first grade need
not come to school on Monday. Time
ly notice will be given when the first
grade will begin.

Almost Doubles Bolt i'm Sc.
COnd Primary.
BLACKWELL LEADS
BROWNING NEXT
! With Six More Small Boxes to Hear
From 1t Seems that About Four
Hundred Fewer Votes will be Cast
This Time than Last. About $500
SO far.

The second primary for county Of
hces is over with. The "big race" of
the day, that of clerk of court. was
decidedly decisive in favor of c.. A.
POWER. Mr.. Power almost doubled his
opponent, Mr. j. f. Bolt who has held
the office for sixteen years. The vote
OF II boxes gives Power 2,136 and
Bolt Lib About three hundred more
votes are to be heard from but they
VIII not affect the standing of these
candidates.
For the house of representatives
Mr.. H. S. Blackwell is certain of cleo
tion and in all probability, DIR. j. H.
Miller has failed of reelection. Mr..
Geo. A. Browning, Jr., will probably
be the other legislator. DIR. Miller has
been serving the county for six years.
For county commissioner, it seems
that Austin Abercrombie and j. b.
Hit are to be the lucky candidates,
both old commissioners having been
defeated. Mr.. Bailey was put out in
the first primary and Mr.. Roper in
this one.
Mr.. w. T. Crews was elected mag
istrate in this township and Mr.. Full
Ter in Waterloo township. Mr.. Hanna
was elected cotton weigher at Cross
Hill.
The table Of all the boxes heard
from is found on another part of the
paper.

Cotton Coming In.

During the past few days it has come
to be familiar sight to see the cot
ton wagons again. The staple is open
Ing right along now and great deal
OF it is being gotten out. Judging from
the opinion of farmers and observers
the crop this year will be the smallest
in many years In this vicinity. The
long drought played havoc with a
crop that at one time seemed to be very
promising. The price ON the local
market varies around IL cents.

majority Of the committee being
present. A general discussion of the
coming fair was gone into and several
definite plans decided upon. Mr. Byrd
was empowered to appoint several
committees who will direct the or
ganization Of the fair and put the
wheels in motion. 1t was decided,
among other things, to add depart
ment for the pets and a department
for dogs for the next fair. While a
large number Of exhibits of this char
acter were shown last year, it is
thought that by providing special
department for them that the own
ers Of such will be greatly encourage
ed to send them in the future.
Instead Of publishing the premium
list booklet like the one last year, by
which considerable able money was
secured, it was thought best not to
get up such an elaborate book this
time. Instead of doing this, a sub
scription list will be gotten up to pro
vide the money raised by the adver-
tisements last year and then the pre-
MUM list will be published on sin
gle sheet of paper, circular-like. 1t
is thought that this VIII save consid-
cradle expense and at the same time
be almost as convenient.
The fair this year will be held Fri
day, October 18th. The people of the
county are requested to bear this date
in mind and to begin making prepar-
ations for 1t.
