This is not an advertisemeni

but let us suppose having your buggy
repaired and the workman
would make some spokes In the
wheels shorter than the rest, bore
the hole out of center and out of
plumb and have the axel crooked.
Do you think any workman could
alter such defects without a great
deal of expense, new wheels aud so
on? You know he can't, you can
see ibis. If on the other hand, you
have your watch repaired and It is
done In a similar way, and may
even be adjusted to positions with
paper wedges and the like; you
can't see It but the defects are there
and new parts will have to be substituted.
We have all the tools to
repair your watch In a workmanlike
manner, and having served a

Warrenton, S. C., June 8,1S%.
Well, another week gone by anil farmers
Bti 11 at work, and as Hill Arp says, "the sun Is
mighty hot too," and we agree with him for
we had the pleasure of driving the plow a
little during the past week.
More line rains since our last, though I
think no one can complain of too much, for
all the crops were in Hue condition and are
now looking flner.
Miss Zula Brock, our verv estimable and accomplished
IfatrhfT- him hp?n nn?.ni1lni? iho
week visiting friends in and around Warrenton.
Miss Brock will leave us this week for
her home in Due West. She has made many
friends during the past year and all bate to
see her leave.
Miss Rosa Wilson of Fondvllle has been
visiting friends in town during the past
week. Miss Wilson Is a favorite in our town
u.nd we *re always glad to welcome her.
Ml?s Kllle Wilson of Columbia Is In Fondvllle
for the summer. Miss Kllle has been
suffering a great deal with her eyes and we
understand has had bad health and Is visiting
this section hoping to recuperate. Fondvllle
being one of Warrenton's suburban
towns, she has made a fine selection as the record
shows our town to be the healthiest in
the state.
Miss Janle McNeil has been spending a
week or so in Sbaron neighborhood with relatives
and friends.
Miss Llla Wilson and Miss Jane Thomas
visited friends and relatives In Sharon last
Friday.
It was our pleasure to attend the ice cream
festival last Friday night at Mr. David Gilliam's
given for the benefit of the school
building, and from what we could see all
seemed to enjoy themselves. The Program
was carried out to the letter, and lor the
public, we thank the fair hostess. Miss
Bertha Gilliam for making It so pleasant for
all. A handsome profit was realized.
The game of ball announced for Saturday,
June 6, did not come, owing to some misunderstanding
among the players, but we hope
to entertain the public In the future.
There were quite a large congregation at
Warrenton Sunday, and were treated to a
flue sermon by the pastor, Iiev. H. C. Kennel.
His discourse, infused with some flue food
for the spiritual appetite.
The candidates; what has become of them,
we have heard comparatively little of them
and it seems thai none are coming out for the
Legislature, though we are glad to welcome
Messrs Gary and McQill and think they will
get our town's support, and by the way,
gentlemen what about the abolition of the
Citadel? From what we can learn there's
certainly something wrong with the management
of the finances and we hardly think it
will bear investigation.
It seems very strange, the board of visitors
Bbould allow each cadet ouly $32 per year and
require him to buy his books and bed-clothlug
when previous to the session of '94-95, the
cadet s were furnished with books and bedclothing
and allowes $72 each and then tbe
State only appropriated 518,000 lor the
Bchools support, while this year the Stale
gives it 821,000. There is certainly something
materially wrong and it should be investigated
as it is now, there is no inducement
for one to try for tbe appointment, and
less for one to pay hiB way through as he is
required to pay ?.100 to the treasurer and then
only get S32 back to pay for his books, for
clothing, and uniforms, sboes and to supply
his room which will cost him the flrst year,
at least 872 and if any one wish a statement
in details let it be known and we will take
pleasure in furnishing it and furthermore,
we will defy any one to deny it.
(iulte a large number from Lebanon worshipped
at Warrenton Sunday.
Mr. It. C. Wilson of Clinton has been in
town for a day or so attending the meeting
at the I'resByterian church which closes Sunday
night.
Several of the boys and girls from here at
College are expected home in a few days.
Mr. Jue. Gibert and Miss fiflle and Miss
Nannie Watson speutSuuday in Warrenton.
Mr. Jno. Wilson of Graicridge, another one
of Warrentou's suburban towns, was the

DUE WEST.
Ready Tor Commencement?Visitors?
Other XewN.
Due West. S. C., June 8, 1896.
Commencement preparations are now complete
lor the accommodation and comfort of
all comers. We expect the largest crowd that
has attended In years. They will be handsomely
entertained and comfortably seated.
Our new ball can seat all the candidates and
nil the voters necessary to elect, and the thermometer
never goes above 80, so yoa can keep
cool while here. Don't forget Sabbath day's
exercise. Dr. W. M. Grier will conduct them
In the morning and Dr. Hall in the evening.
A cordial invitation is extended to all.
The following persons from Due West attended
union meeting at Downdesvllle: T.
L. Haddon, Masters Earnest Clinkscales and
Charlie McKay, Rev. J. A. Brown, Miss Elner
Ciinkscales, Miss Alpha McGee, Miss Lulu
McGee, Mr. J. R. McUee and wile and Mrs. II.

Mrs. Pitts, mother of Mrs. P. H. Hai per. has
returned home.
Mrs. D. B. Ellis is Improving.
Muster Marlon Uiffen has returned home.
Miss Maggie Bonner has returned from Antrevllie.
Mr. W. R. Hunt, of the Southern, has been
here, arranging with the students as to transportation.
We will give a full account of our Commencement
with all programme's, etc., next
week:
A Confederate Veterans Camp was organized
Saturday at Donalds, with a membership ol
sixty or more. McUowan's Camp was the
name given the Camp.
Rev. 0. Y. Bonner preached at Kay's school
house Sabbath evening; Rev. S. A.Rogers,
Abbeville, Sabbath morning; J. B. Hood,
Bethlehem-; J. C. Douglas, Ebenezer.
The Presbyterian contained an article last
week on duns, which reminds us that most
people object to duns, when really it should
be the reverse. When a person duns you. of
course he thinks you have money. The idea
of any one thinking you had money when
you haven't, should put a smile upon your
countenance intend of a sneer.
We wrote the Due West dots at Abbeville
last week, and thought that as we. were having
much rain at Abbeville, we of course
wnnld hnvp anmo at Due Woct and nn nnnnppri
the drouth broken. Such in not the case, as
we still need rain, not having had a season
since April 1st.
Miss Mary Maddox will attend commencement
at Greenville this week.

II Ik understood that each Senator, whether
chairman of commltte or not, will have his
secretary and a messenger to assist him In the
transaction ot his business, and that he will
retain tils patronage whether his party be iu
the control of the Senate or not.
The Senate has what In known aH a permanent
roll, which is made up of men of experience,
ability and technical knowledge In their
respective duties, and who are kept without
reference to Individual Senatorial support.
Such retentions are made by the Democratic
and Republican steering committees jointly,
based upon merit and qualification. Places
such as the legislative clerk, journal clerk, financial
clerk and librarian have neen on the
list, and the present occupants of these places
have been in the service of the Senate lor
more than a score of years. Several places
have been added to 1 lie list, and among the
lucky otlicers is Mr. James M. Baker, the assistant
librarian, who Is from Abbeville County,

since the reorganization of the Senate in 1S'J3,

irn civilized world, there is no vo
which offers to those in it one
of the power and influence that
alism offers to a man of force,
y and conviction. Tne lawyer
istothe limited audience of the
room, and to win the particular
lpon which he is engaged is, as a
the goal of bis efforts. Even the
popular minister addresses his
rhts to a congregation that rarely
es a thousand. And the voice of
irator and politician dies out in
echoes from a very narrow borijnless
it is reverberated by the
papers. The audience addressed
e journalist is immeasurably wind
he has the advantage of reachday
after day and week by week,
the multiplied force and effect of
Shakspeare called "damnable it?n."
No sane man in our day

ione1but fools belittle it,

nfluence.and power, legitimately
command recognition, honor and

9sions of the church, medicine

journalism ? Why is it that
'eminent journalist" is rather
d down upon by the "eminent

We don't expect any man to buy here who '8

every talent, prom by experience, strive lor "
every perfection, and have got the art down Ji
to; a nicety. While some are shouting how |r
cheap they've got, we want to tell you how
fine we've got. Anybody can sell cheap ??
clothes?there's no knack about that. We've
got suits as low as $5, bi^t at $7.50, $10, $13 to $15. {?
and $20, Is where expertness counts, clever- H;
nesa is taxed, where competition Is declared "
out of the race, where its "neck and neck" Jr
with the best of custom tailoring. And Just r1'
think of what a saving it is. A little more
than Is asked for the cheap truck, but a great ,
deal lessthan the tailors demand?about half. ..
What wotth have words when everybody
claims the largest stock ? What weight have J"1"
published prices unless you can prove the
values? You've gof a standing invitation to
look us over and see if we are not showing ~l
three times the variety ol suits that Is to be
found anywhere else. You are assured sat
Isfaction in every purchase, not the "as good- y
as-kind," but a guarantee that there can be l"
no better made. There's no chance of our not 1
being able to suit you. Such an immense
