1t was my good fortune re-
Gently to visit Liberty and talk
with some of the leading b ISL
ness men Of that town. [ was
pleased and very much impress
ed with the way they talked.
They believe in Liberty. They
think it is the best town in the
county, and one of the very
best in existence. They are
looking forward very hopefully
to the fall trade In my iudg-
ment that is the way to build a
town-talk it up, not down.
Liberty is without doubt one
Of our coming towns Already
she has her streets paved all
over the city and many hand
some brick buildings and stocks
Of goods that would do credit to
a very much larger town.
The Presbytcrians and Bap.
lists Of Liberty are getting
ready to erect expensive church
houses, one to spend about
$4,000, and the other $4,000.
They have electric lights, and
they are talking about a system
Of water works some time in
the future. The enlarging of
the cotton mill has helped busi-
ness.
How about another cotton
mill for Pickens2 II.

IHON, FRED WILLIAMS
COMMITS SUICIDE
Mr.. Williams Successor

The people of the county
will be interested in know.
ing how and when a repre-
: sentative is to be chosen to
fill the vacancy caused by
the death Of Hon. Fred
Williams. For the infor-
nation of all on this ques-
ton the law is here given.
Section 25 of Article III of
the constitution Of 1896 is
as follows:
IF any election district
shall neglect to choose a
member or members on the
day of election, or if any
person chosen a member of
either house shall refuse to
qualify and take his seat,
or shall resign, die, depart
the. state, accept any dis
qualifying office or posi-
tion, or become otherwise
disqualified to hold his seat,
a writ of election shall be
issued by the President of
the Senate or Speaker of
the House Of Representa-
tives, as the case may be,
for the purpose of filling
the vacancy thereby occa-
stoned for the remainder of
the term for which the per-
son so refusing to qualify,
resigning. dying, departing
the state, or becoming dis
qualified, was elected to
serve, or t h e defaulting
election district ought to
have chosen a member or
members"
So it will be seen that the
governor cannot fill this
vacancy by appointment,
but the speaker of the house
of representatives will or
der all election. How soon
this will be done is not
known at present, but due
notice will be given.

ness.
You have such tonic in

antec it to take the place of dan
gerous calomel and agree to

Midsummer Madness.

The driver of the taxicab proved
to be sound sport.
Five minutes Of luck, aided by
nerve, brought the two machines
somewhat nearer together. The mo-

taxicab caught up when it came to
weaving it's way in and out and dodg-

ments when he appeared to be losing
the car, Hambleton reflected that he
had it's number, which might lead to
some thing. At the Waldorf the car
slowed up, and the cab came within a
few yards. Hambleton made up his
mind at that instant that he had been
mistaken in his supposition of trouble
threatening the lady, and looked mo-
mently to see her step from the car
into the custody of those starched and
lacquered menials who guard the por-
tails of fashionable hotels.
But it was so. A signal was inter
changed between the occupants of the
car and some watcher in the door

written on that countenance and the
cry for help.

squeezing past curbs where dirty
children sat playing within a few
inches of death-dealing wheels. Ham

being killed by hundreds daily, but
the wonder was Immediately forgot

cab had stopped, although several
yards of clear road lay ahead of it.
