The MAYOR Of SUMTER
IN RACE FOR the SENATE

Mayor L. D. Jennings, of Sum-
ter, Saturday announced his cam
didacy for United States senator.
Mayor Jennings friends have
urged him for some time to en-
ter the race. and now that he
has consented to do so. they feel
that he will make formidable
and aggressive opponent. Mr..
jennings gained considerable
prestige in the recent State con-
vention by an eloquent and fear
less speech advocating primary
reform.
AS mayor of Sumter under the
old political form of city govern
ment. as a leader in the fight
for the present combination of
the modified commission city
manager plan," and as the first
mayor under this new form of
city government. he has distin-
guished himself by his progress
i've leadership for municipal
progress and fearless enforce
ment of law.
Mr.: Jennings is prominently
identified with all movements
for the development and prog
ress of the city of Sumter and his
county, and was for two terms
president of the Sumter chamber
OF commerce. He is president of
the Peoples bank, a lifelong
farmer and is also identified with
general business interests. He
is a church, Y. M. C. A. and
Sunday school worker, and is
one of the leading and success
ful attorneys of the State. He
is forceful and tireless debater
with from Missouri" inuuisit-
lveness, and his opponents will
find themselves compelled to
prove everything they say upon
the hustings with Mayor Jen-
nings.

Commission Not to Blame.


your communication in the
the last issue of the York News,
and | must admit that you have
just ground for complaint for the
Fort Mill Times was the news
paper of all newspapers that de-
served to be placed in the corner
stone of the new court house
building. The Fort Mill Times
was the only York County news
paper that advocated in the
beginning the building Of a new
court house, and. has consistent
ly stood by the proposition all
through the agitation and ad-
vocated its construction on the
old site; and had it not been for
the work done by the Fort Mill
Times. and its irtellgently put
ting before the people the neces-
sity of a modern new court house
AMI taking the lead in the matter,
and doubtless inducing and in
fluencin" one of your citizens.
w. III. Windle, to strongly advo-
cate and work for the proposition
it is doubtful if we would have
had any new court house build
ing in Yorkvile, and | feel sure
that the omission of the Fort
Mill Times from the box of con-
tents in the corner stone was an
oversight on the part of the
committee that had charge of
this matter.
AS chairman of the court house
commission, | must say that
neither |, nor any member of
the commission, was consulted in
any manner or had any knowl-
edge Of what the contents of the
box were that went in the corner
stone. The matter was entirely
in the hands of the Masonic
brethren, and just as the exer-
cises commenced the Rev. DR..
Gillespie handed me copy of
the Christian Messenger. and
c. l.. Cobb handed me can
celled copy of the court house
bonds, requesting that they be
put in the cornerstone, but upon
delivering these two papers to
the grand secretary of the
Masonic order he informed me
the box was sealed containing
the other articles and could not
be opened, and so they had to be
| mt ont side of the bOX
| regret very much indeed that
The Times was not put in that
box and had | been consulted as
chairman of the court house COM
mission. | would have insisted
upon q copy of every paper in
the county, and especially the
Fort Mil Times, being placed in
the cornerstone, but speaking
in behalf Of the court house COM
mission. none of whom are
Masons. | wish to say that we
mad no knowledge or information
whatsoever of the contents of
the box the Masonic brethren
placed in the cornerstone.
But again. permit me to say
that feel sure the Masonic COM
mittee in charge of the matter
forgot the grand work of the
Fort Mil Times had done for the
new court house; and just as
Pharaoh's chief butler. when he
was released from prison did not
remember his good friend Joseph,
but forgot him. so these Masonic
brethren forgot the Fort Mill
Times. and. that committee
should now come forward as that
chief butler afterwards did and
declare Il do remember my
faults this day."

Ticket Collectors Taken off.

1t is reported that the Southern
Railway has decided to take off
its ticket collectors. Whether
this applies to all lines or not is
unknown but it is known pretty
positively that they have been
taken off for good from branch
lines and it is understood that
they have also been permanently
taken off the main line.
Some time back the collectors
were summoned to Atlanta but
it was not known at that time
that they were to be relieved
from duty permanently. 1t is
said now, however, that this
action has been determined upon
by the officials of the road.
