Good news comes from all over the
Third Congressional district as to the
Hon. Fred H. Dominick. Informa-
ton now is that he will have safe
majority in every county except pos
sibly Abbeville and in that county
the race will be close. The voters OF
the district could scarcely do better
than send him to congress. We were
in Greenwood the other day and eV-
erything looks mighty fine up there.
The same news comes from Ander-
son, Pickens, and Oconee. Of course,
he would not think Of carrying the
home county of Mr.. Aiken, but he is
g;ing to make it mighty interesting
up there for the gentleman.-Ne
berry Herald and News.
There is an old legand that the
swan, ordinarily mere gabbler, like
other water fowl, in the throes OF
death, sings his own funeral hymn.
How swan-like, and how hymn-llke
the quoted lines from Tle Herald and
News, whose editor ever has been,
and even now is in the same boat
with Mr. Dominick, while the SAID
boat is drawing nearer and nearer
the rapids.
The said boat has had pretty
heavy jolts before, lor instance wien
the Hon. Frederick Dominick was
overwhelmingl defeated for the legls-
l.ture tie last time he offered; w-en
this same Editor Aull last election
was defeated for school commissioner
by vote of something like two to
Ole and when the Hon. Frederick
few months ago received seventeen
votes in his home club out of the hum
dred o. more voting for 'egates TO
the State convention.
Coming down to the facts, is Editor
Aull SINGING or whistling? Whistllng,
] trow. The little boas surely must be
approaching a graveyard.
And Editor Aull really does think
Wyatt Aiken may carry Abbevllle, or
perhaps tais was just thrown in TO
keep from breaking the congressman S
hea1t all in one smash. Col. Aull has
ALWAYS been thoughtful Of other peo-
ples feelings, and mindful Of their
kindnesses. and doubtless this little
outburst of generosity sprung from
these known characteristics.
Of course Colonel Aull believes that
Hon. Fred. Dominick will carry every
county in the district. Did say all?
Well all save Abbeville, so gracious
" excepted by the Colonel. And why
is it so certain tat he believes II!
WAY, because the Colonel s1lemnly
says so in the columns OF his paper
and. the Colonel would not solemnly
saw anythin., favorable to himself or
MS political friends in the columns OF
his paper he did not believe to be true.
It is eyen ncised about that CO.. Aull
is to take a little trip through the
district in behalf of Mr.. Domlnlck,
but let no man INFER from this that
Col. Aull would be partial to Mr.. Dom
mick in tie columns of his paper!
Perish the thought!
Now coming back to Col. AuIIs ana
Hon. Fred. Dcminick's home county
OF course the Colonel is good cnurch
member as is this editor, and good
church members can't bet, but this
editor has friend wno will even brave
the vengeance of the State constaoies
for whom the Charleston race track
gamblers seem to stand in such dread
to bet a. good round sum that Mr.
Aiken will get more votes in New
berry county than will Mr.. Domlnlck.
The Colonel's claim that Mr.. Doml-
nick will carry every county in the
Third district, always saving Aboe-
Vile, is like the claim of the little
fisherman, WAC said when ne got the
