Contract Out May.
II was generally understood that
the Thacker Shoe company, whose

bid at this time, as the firm is con-
structing big snoe factory on Frank :
lin street, which will soon be ready
for operation, but II they are sue
cessful bidders they will operate both
factories.
The members of the board de-
ciined to go into detail as TO the bids
for the lease or the conVtcts uutit
after the contract LIS formally let. The
present contractors pay the State AZ
cents day for male convicts and 70
cents per diem for the women.
Labor organizations throughout the
State have bitterly opposed the con

been runors that an Injunction would

Whether this will be done remains to
be seen. though the postponement Of

tleman, Of the highest type and that
means very, very much in South Caro-

The farm work is very quiet these
days, nothing doing in the way of
plowing. The farmers are not haul
ing fertilizer, for some don't say much
about fertilizer, and when they do
they say II am not hunting a Dig fer
tilizer bill this time" Our land must
do something. The fertilizer people
are getting very near all that is made,
and it is time that we were looking
after our interest more, prepare our
land, and rotate, make more Of the

amounting to 5,493 square miles have
already been released since last
spring, making total of 24,9S3 square

The total territory released from
quarantine since the work OF tick
eradication was begun in 1906 now
amounts to more than 1877 900 square

confined areas of South Carolina,

South Carolina, 1,615 square miles,
including Darlington and Marlboro

LISBON LOCALS.

Lisbon, March 3.-Everything is
very quiet at this place, yet the rural
police don't come around very often.
But they never know when to expect
them. For that reason it has the de-
sired effect for good order.
This place needs q good many
things that we are not able to reach,
but we could afford a telephone line
de we neighbors would combine and
make one, then we would feel like
we were near the city, one of the best
towns in the up country and the best
people. We go to other places and
can see more tigers before the sun
goes down, hear more rowdyism than
you would see and hear at Laurens
in six months. The reason Of that is,
our people are on good behavior most
all the time, but in case one don't do
the proper thing the officers at Lau-
rens are very apt to look after him.
We went to a town not far from Lau-
rens and saw more men under the in
ifluence of whiskey than you would
see at Laurens in IL months. The
dispensary was in evidence at that
place. We could not help but feel
sorry for some Of these poor fellows
who did not have decent suit Of
clothing, much less the necessities Of
life. Now isn't it time for Congress
TO act, change the constitution that no
whiskey could be shipped into dry
Fcounty or state? We would then have
a people who would be self-support-
ing and one Of the best countries in
the world.
We see from the newspapers that
we will not have to go out in the
highways and hedges to find mon to
fill the governors chair. There are
some good men that we know per-
sonally already announced. Our first
choice is the Hon. r. A. Cooper, a gen
