glad to spend even short time among
his many friends here, who are al

The people seem to be talking more
politics this spring than fertilizers.
Well, I guess it is a good thing to get
their minds off of the fertilizer ques-
ton as most of our farmers went to

The writer heard very prominent
man, who had until quite recently
been citizen of NeWberry and a
very active man in all business af-
fairs. make the statement that the
coming campaign would be the hottest
campaign we have had in number
of years regardless Of how cool the
summer might be. On being asked
as to what he thought in regard to
the governors race, made the follow
ing statement: "In my opinion Blease's
friends. who are the majority OF the
people of the State of South Carolina,
and would be an overwhelming ma
jority in the approaching primary
would stand by him to the finish" The
people of this section most heartily
agree with this statement, though
Judging from Candidate Jones speech
es. he seems to think that he can be
of great benefit to the people by re-
deeming them from Bleaseism. He
said that if he were elected governor
of South Carolina, that he you'd be
governor of all the people, but ne
would not go to hell with his friends
like Governor Blease, but would go
to the brink to pull them back. Though
it is the opinion of g great many peo-
ple that there will be such a few to
pull back that it wont be any honor
to Candidate Jones, and again We be-
lieve that we are just as far from hell
as Candidate Jones is from the gov
ernor's Office.
The grain crop is looking very SICK
in this section and it seems at pres
ent that there will not be very much
made.
We are listening at an early date
to hear the sound of that solemn bell
that will unite two hearts that beat
as one.
Owing to the severe winter, the
girls may not have done so much
courting as they had planned to do
this leap year, yet some Of them in
their lonely homes have composed
some of the most beautiful songs re-
lating to the good-looking young men
of the lower section Of the county.
