CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, Aug. 1.-THE 25th of
August will soon be here and every
one who has qualified can have their
say as to who will be governor of
South Carolina and who shall repre-
sent us in the United States senate. l
do not know who will be the success
full ones, but I sincerely trust the
voters of Union county will conside,
qualifications. 1t looks to me that
choosing men to fill the various offices
from standpoint of fitness is al
most a thing of the past. We are
drawing factional lines too strong
for our own welfare. To say that a
man shall not receive our support be-
cause he belongs to the other faction
when he is the best man in the race
is wrong spirit and one that will
cause us to have regrets in the future.
In this township people are giving
the political situation more thought
than they are their souls. I think
that after the elections are over we
will be able to look over our past
lives and make some changes for the
better
There is some kind of disease going
the rounds that is playing havoc with
the chickens. A man in this COM

own accord or because he could not
live any longer. 1t was the exper-
ience of the writer this morning to
find more than a dozen of our flock
of fowls had died in less than twenty
four hours, when two days ago they
were apparently we'll and were eating
heartily.
Mrs. Lula Craig died last Friday

week in August every year and give
the operatives this much needed rest.
