Polite and Prompt Attention. * ' Of?r< hof Contest Papers Served on Lever Washington, Dec. 18.?Representative Lever w?i have a contest for his seat, or that which passes for a contest. And it will be an experienced contestee, Alexander D. Dantzler of Orangeburg. This morning Mr. Lever went to call on Representative Mann of Illinois, the chairman of the election committee which has had chargej of these contests and told him that the tame for filing contests having expired, he would have no contest for his seat m a li.ii. m me oixueui congress. "I congratulate you, Lever," said Mr. Mann. "I am glad of it on my own account, too, for the blamed fool niggers in my district tried to beat me this yesr because I didn't vote to turn you out. But a little later in the day Lever was forced to go again to^Mr. Maim and say that he had spokeg too soon. At>2:10 o'clock today a negro lawyer saw Mr. Lever in one of .the corridors of the capitol and served upon him a notice of contest by Dantzler. The 30 days for filing contests had expired and Mr. Lever would not receive,the notice except with the endorsement by Stewart of the day and hour of service, in the presence of a j witness, who was Representative Bartlett'of Georgia. There is only one thing new about the grounds of contest as stated in f.lvo nnHno TT>ia ia f-.Via.-fc t.V?P "allporpkfl present constitution of South Carolina vis in violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution in that it discriminates against colored citizens and Republican voters of the seventh congressional district of South Carolina by I requiring of them qualifications for voting not required of a certain class of citizens, commonly known as Confederate soldiers who voted for' 'you,'' the "you" meaning Representative Lever. Jacob Moorer, lawyer, and that sort of thing at Orangeburg, will represent Dantzler when the committee 1 takes up the case, and if nothing happens to prevent The State's representative will be on hand, for, if it is to be like the contest of last year, it will be a show.?The State, 19th Rots ef Gilbert.

His headquarters have been there so long that we would not know where to find him should he move. Say, don't rUn him off before we see him and don't let ! him carry off all the pretties! Will ; Santa have to quite you and the deer 1 when that trolly is built? Some think j he will go faster by electricity than j he does now. But you must interfere and hold your hold. New Church at Batesburg. Batesburg, Dec. 17.?Rev. S. D. Jones, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Aiken, occupied the pulpit at the Methodist church Sunday morning. In the afternoon, assisted ! by Dr. White of Columbia, he " organ- j ized the Presbyterian church of Bates- j bure, with a membership of 15. Tne*Presbyterians propose to erect a church building at once on a lot j near the center of the city. The citi- j zens of Batesburg, without respect to i denominational affiliations, are glad that the Presbyterians have organized a church at this place. It is not known who will be called as pastor.?

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Mr. Editor, the writer knows that you are especially fond of catching and eating of the finny tribe, and believes you can read with pleasure the catching of the champion red fox of Fairfield county. On the morning of the 15th inst., I sounded my horn, and my dear old dogs responded, harmonizing beautifully, giving all the notes in full, with many auxiliary quarters and halves, indicating to me, "Master, we are ever anxious for a chase. Get your "? 3 1 _ J-5 J J T-r.r.4- ?+ *-1.^ iK/rse, oii., aixu lei ? gu. ouot o.u lxic dawn of day his honor, Benjaman, assisted bv lady "Chic," gave the alarm, ana very soon had congregated the entire pack, and from a keen squall or two made by his beauty efface, Wash Kennerly, the ball was opened and seemingly a tune was being played upon "a harp of a thousand strings." The jump was very near Wallaceville, in Fairfield count}7, and the old Virginia reel, so to speak, was in order, and down Little river they went, crossing over on the public bridge into Richland county, and after a few square dances returned to Fairfield, and there it was that your humble servant partook of the good music rendered for an hour, and when the round dances took place, it seemed that my hair must be growingback on my head, as my hat raised. Thus we had it to the sound of 15 hounds until about 12 m., when he sung out and gave up the ghost. Jim Eleazer, a clever old nigger, being one of the party, was overjoyed at the catch, and said: "Boss, us de best fox hunters, and has de best dogs in dis county. When is we gwine agin?". Kennerly, well known by his good looks, showed his cunning on several cut-offs and assisted in catching. Brag, Tucker, Ben, Chick, Music, Willis, Kate, Dina and Parker deserve high merit. The first straight run must have embraced something like an eleven :i.. ..i i-.l- 3 X_ 1 .11 XT mut; sureucii, aau taiuug an tuu circutiouB routes, he must have run 50 miles at least. He . was a beautiful old red, very fat, and showed at least two inches of white on the end of his brush. His teeth indicates an old fox. To prove the capture in reality, I enclose one of his feet, which shows the kind and the size he was. From the ugly gash which Ben received at Mr. Reynard's capture, makes us think Ben caught. Much praise to Ben. John C. Swvgert. Peak, S. C., Dec. 17. , _ _ _ / F. E. Srehsr Declines Appointment of Magistrate. It is with regret that we have to announce that Mr. F. E. Dreher declines to accept the appointment of Magistrate at this place. The place was offered him time and time again with the hope that he would finally accept, but owing to the large increase in business of the law firm of Efird & Dreher, of which he is the junior member, it is impossible for him to attend to the duties of the office. That he would have made an ideal official, is not doubted. He is recognized by all who know him as one of the finest office lawyers in the State? just such a man as the office requires i ?and it is the regret of all that his j - business is so great that he could not accept the place. Louis Evans Returns. Lous Evans, a printer in the job deSartment of the Columbia State, who isappeared last week and who wrote a note to his wife saying that he intended drowning himself in the canal, returned to Columbia Monday at 2 o'clock. He appeared to be in a stupor and was carried to police headquarters. There he was examined by I physicians who pronounced him in- j sane ana ne was later carried to the I asylum. He was unable to give any j definite statement as to his move- ; ments and just where he spent the j time during his absence is not known, j 1 # * Something New.

The wish of every bride-to-be is that 9he shall become a model wife, and before the eventful day arrives when she gives herself to him, "for better or for worse," she should do all she can to prepare herself for her new position, so that, as far as she is concerned, the union shall prove "for better." When a girl promises to become a wife, the man nas every right to suppose that she is competent to fill such a position, and, no matter how old she is,iif she is not capable of managing a house she is not old enough to become a wife. One of the first things to learn to manage i9 the money, Many girls, who happen to be the eldest or the stay at home daughter of the family, have gained comfortable experience in nousekeeping and are quite capable in this respect, but there are others who have no idea of laying out money to the best advantage, it does not matter whether the home be poor or rich, in both economy should be practiced and waste avoided. The girl who is inexperienced in household matters will do well to gain an insight | into them before she takes the burden I of them on her own shoulders. She should learn to know a good piece of meat from a bad piece, and I not be content just to give the order and let the butcher send what he thinks he will, which often happens to be a joint that he has not been able to sell to the customer who chooses her meat for herself. True economy consists in buying small quantities of the best joints and using tJiem carefully, but even then there are pieces left, and these should be utilized in composing tasty little supper dishes. It is well known that to make a man happy one must "feed the bruie," but be careful how the food is prepared and cooked or the result may be far from happiness. - A thorough knowledge of cooking and preparing food should therefore be acquired, so that the bride to be is a capable cook. Although she may not actually have to do the housework, it is necessary for the future brida to know how to do it. The future housewife will not think that housework is beneath her, and if it is necessary for her to undertake it she will do it with a will, so that the little house is indeed a home to the husband when he arrives home tired after perhaps a worrying day. Zizth cf An infant. Rosa Frances, infant, daughter cf Mr. and Mrs. Newell Lee, of Tampa, Fla., died December 14, 1906, age 9 months. The interment took place in St. Stephen's cemetery, Lexington, S. C., on December 16, 1906. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. G. Graichen at the home of Col. M. D. and Mrs. Harman, the grandparents of the deceased child, in the presence of sorrowing relatives and friends. The grief stricken parents have the profound sympathy of the community in the loss of their dear little Rosa Frances. The blessed hope of the Christian cheers and comforts their bleeding hearts that their sweet little babe rests safely and joyfully on the bosom of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who, while on earth, took little children into his arms and blessed them, saying of them: "For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
