DETAILS OF ATTACK fl? IN TI. Narrow Escape From W?at Seomefl TerriMe Disaster. COLONEL MUM'S LAST WORDS. "Don't Retreat Boys, Keep on Firing" - Allies Amazed at the Ac curacy of Chi nese Fire. New York, July 21-The Even-j ing World publishes the following: from its Tien Tsin correspondent tinder date of Chefoo, July 19, via Shanghai, July 21 : "The attack on the native city of Tien Tsin on July 13 resulted in the narrowest escape from what seemed up to midnight would be a terrible disaster for the allies. "The Russians swinging north and the other allies south, at day break the Russians were to take the forts near the native city wall and the other allies the city itself. "Gen. Fuku8hma, the Japanese commander, promised that the Japanese engineers, after three hours shell fire from all guns, would cross the bridge over the moat before the wall and blow up the great south gate, making a breach for the infantry to enter. "Upon this depended every thing. Gen. Fukushima had not scouted the bridge and in 24 hours had not scouted the ground over which the charge on the bridge had to be made. "The Chinese destroyed the bridge and flooded the land around it. The allies' shell fire in nowise subdued the Chinese rifle fire, from the loopholes in the wall, which wasJJO feet high, with a moat 20 feet in .depth aronnd it. "The outer waU of mud made it 'impossible for the infantry and marines coming on the field to re ply to the Chinese fire. They lost 50 men in 10 minutes, then rushed back from the mud wall, which they had reached. "Gen Dorward, the British com mander, hastened forward with a fragmentary instead of an integral skirmish line. "The American marines and the Welsh Fusilers together, under the command of Waller, were on the extreme ' left. Then the British marines and the French advanced with the Japanese along the road toward tho gate in the mud wall. "Dorward's plan for the Ameri cans to support the Japanese was not made clear to Col Liscum of the Ninth United States infantry. "Dorward lays the blame for the blunder and sacrifice of life on Liscum, but Dorward's chief of stan! was heard to say when Lis cum moved : "'Get in down the road any where, quickly.' "Col Liscum hurriedly led his men through the gate in as open order as possible. "They were immediately under fire. The staff saw them pass over the bridge leading to a field, which proved to be a cul de sac. "Before the two battalions of Americans, numbering 426 men, could extend themselves they were subjected, besides the fire from the loopholes in the fort, to a fierce fire from the embrasures in a line of fortified mud houses on their flank. "Three thousand rifles probably were turned on them with an ac curacy that amazed every officer among the allies. "The blue shirts of the Ameri can troops made tharn distinct marks where the khaki uniforms of the other allies could not be seen. "Col Liscum, guiding his men, walked up and down the line, not even ducking his head wh'le the bullets fell around. "The Americans charged into the flank fire with rushes. The ground over which they charged .. was marshy and lined with ditches. "Itwa8 evidently Col Liscum's intention to rush the houses from which the flank fire was coming and thus get a position for flank ing the wall. "At 12:30 th? line had just reached the short of the canal and 30 ?ards separated them from (he *>>*VietSf V*sv.V%* ?minium IM nra ii iiiniimMmm IIIIIIHIIMB-a-l horses when the color bearer re] "Col Liscum picked up the colo: and stood looking around, appa ently for a ford. "'Bettor get down or they wi hil you,' rihouted Maj Regan. "'I guess not,- wasLis?um's n ply?. "The next instant a sharpshoo er's bullet went through the br&\ colonel's abdomen. " 'I've got-,' he said, as he fel "'Get at them if you can,' tl dying officer said, aud.added as h: last words : '"Don't retreat, boys; keep o firing.' "Ragin was hit immediatel afterward.

They were sent any where, without men to carry th litters. "The doctors were hit by th sharpshooters while trying to at tend the wounded of the Ninth They could dot attempt to carr off the wounded from the bloody field. "Maj Regan, Capt Bookmillei and Capt Noyes were all hit twice Noyes, who was adjutaut, was hi in the arm before going into thi field and then hit in the leg. Hi crawled back through the ditcl with the water to his neck to repor the situation to Col Dorward. "At 1 o'clock Gen Fukushimi roported in writing to Dorwarc that the Japanese were in the city 'I could-see the loopholes blazing bullets and lyddite shells. No in fan try could charge in the face ol this fire from 2 o'clock to 5.' "Though actiog conjointly, neither Dorward nor Fukushims knew each others' whereabouts. "Under cover of the darkness the men of the Ninth crept back from their dangerous position, bearing their wounded. They exe cuted this movement with a loss of one man killed. The casualties were 91 men and five officers out of 426. The marines lost 30, includ ing Capt Davis, who was shot through the heart while talking to Col Meade on the night of July 13. "It was decided to withdraw when news came that the Chinese were evacuating. "The Russians were not so suc cessful as hoped during the day, and the total loss of the allies was 700. The Japanese losses were se vere; they were the most. gallant in tho fight.. But for the Ameri cans stopping the flank fire the Japanese loss would. have been much heavier. "The French, Japanese, Ameri can, and British entered the city at 2 o'clock on the morning of July 14. Their entry was unop posed. The American flag at half mast was hoisted over the eon th gate. The walls were strewn with the corpses of Chinese soldiers killed by the shell fire, which caused the flight. None appar ently were hit by bullets, the dam age being done by lyddite shells. "There is a terrible row over the burning of the town. Several for eign officers are reported lost. The tired soldiers remained on the walls. The natives went looting through the Chinese town. The bank and the arsenai were heavy sufferers, "An advance movement on Pe kin is not contemptated soon. "The American wounded crowd ed the hospital, but all are doing well. The flags of the allied armies are all half masted. "Col LiBcum was buried at Tong Ku."

NOT ?TJCH ENTHUSIASM 18 SHOWN HEBE. Mcsweeney Reads Letters From His Constables by Which Ho Tries to Prove His Record. Cheraw, July 21.-There were about 600 of 800 . farmers at the I court house at Chesterfield today to hear the candidates for State offices.- Tho candidates spent last night at Cheraw, the railroad sta tion near Chesterfield, and a mass meoting of citizens was held in the opera house. Gary. Patterson and Whitman and other candi dates made five minute speeches. There is a strong prohibition sentiment in Chesterfield county and Col.. Hoyt will poll a large vote. McSweeney and Gary will divide the rest. This is W. D. Evans' native county. Mr. Berry married in this county and Pettigrew came from au adjoining county. Barney Evans sailed into W. D. very vigorously. Mayfield spoke as usual. Wharton was not here. The speeches for lieutenant governor were about the same as usual. Mr. Derham was quite unwell and remaiued at Cheraw. Mr. Brooker was not in good form either, today. McMahan rejoined the campaigu today and met ms opponent, Capers. Ca^t. Jennings was at the meeting, but Dr. Timmermau was njt. Solicitor Johnson and his oppoueiit, Senator Brown, spoke. For the first time in the camp aign national issues wore discussed, and then but briefly. Strait set the pace in the contest for his oki seat in congress, now occupied by D. E. Finie}', and the latter kept it up. Both advocate tho Kansas City platform. The race will be close. There was nothing new in Patterson's speech, except that Bennettsville, in a prcbition county kee^s up the dispensary at Churaw. McSweeney read letters from his constables, his own appointees, to prove his record. Patterson was very slightly applauded. Mc sweeney made a stioncjer speech than usual and was very well re ceived. He is runnit g on his record, and if it is not creditable he does not want to stand. He declared thal the mayor of Charleston and the police are trying to do their duty by the dispensary. There was not much enthusiasm in the meeting until Patterson inter rupted Co). Hoyt in his speech. The colonel replies spicily and the srowd cheered him. Col. Hoyt said Tillman had rebuked McSweeney at Bennetts rille. Tillman has the technical right to meddle in this race, but it LB not expedient. Ben had come into the campaign to single out ?ome candidate. Why not take Walt? He could make a new platform to suit Ben and "would raise hell on Chicco's street" to perfection. G. Walt gave a new iefinition of himself today. "I Mn a kind of business man and statesman combined." Gary was received with applause. Ee and McSweeney received 3owers. Gary made his same ?peech, except to allude to Robin son bill, the local option bill which 3ol Hoyt had charged him witn not jupporting. He showed a copy of ?he bill to Col. Hoyt today and ?ailed his attention to the fact that it proposed to abolish the State dispensary, and for that reason he had not supported it. Ee had thought that Col. Hoyt would have the fairness to make this statement, but ho had not done him the justice to do so. We meet at Camden Monday. William Banks. Don't Pull that fodder. We know the power of habit. You have always pulled fodder, therefore you wish to pull fodder again. You have always fed fod der therefore you wish to feed fodder a^ain. In fact you do not Bxactly see how you can get along without fodder. Well, what oth?r folks have done why with patience, ! may not you., Others have fed ! hors'esjand mules cn hayand fond i them to do just as well as when ! fed on fodder. i In fact, fodder is only one kind i of hay-a very convenient kind, i too, to handle to feed wilh. But : it is a very costly kind of hay. i It is the most costly kind of hay J you can find. The hay made from ! shredding the whole cornstalk is \ just as good as the fodder, aud J very much cheaper. Remember it costs money or hard labor or both to pull and cure and save fodder., It also injures the com to pull the fodder. The moment you strip off the fodder blades all foodmaking processes for finishing the grain stops. Hence the corn is made lighter. This is not true when you cut the stalk. The roots get through their work sooner than the bladers do. So when you wati eight or ten days later than you would pull fodder and then cut the whole stalk you do not injure or stop the rilling out of the grain. This can and does continue some days if the blades are on the stalks. Again, remember you do not lose the fodder by not pulling it. It is just as good for food cured on the stalk. You gain the stalk and and several blades of fodder and most of the shuck by cutting and shredding your corn. You save the expense of pulling the fodder and still get the fodder. You will have three or four times as much hay and just as good hay. You cannot afford to lose so much that you have already made. We continue to repeat this advice because we know many will hesitate to quite pulling fodder. Rf any will be . slow to change because they have no shredding machines. So we urge our farmer friends to begin in time to study over this question and make arrangements for shredding their corn. We again repeat, if you do not wish to buy a shredder foi your own use, then club with some of your neighbors and buy oue.' If you fail in this, get some one who has a shreder to shred your corn. There need be no hurry about this. Any time this fall or winter will do.-Southern Cultivator. ' Mr E. J. Norris, of Edgefield, is agent for this machinery. Campaign Calculations. Mr. Jos. Ohl in a communica tion to the Atlanta Constitution discusses tue probabilities and the possiblities of the national election this fall. He says that it is generally agreed among the politiciaus of both parties that there is the hardest Kind of a fight ahead, and that there will b'i no lack of effort to carry each one of the doubtful states. Mr. Obi makes some campaign predictions. It is pretty safe, he pays, fo pit the following states in the re publican column : "Maine, G; Iowa, 13; New Hampshire, 4; Ohio, 23; Ver mont, 4; Calif, ornia 9; Mas sachusetts, 15; Oregon, 4; Rhode Island. 4; Washington, .4; Con necticut, 6; North Dakota, 3; Pennsylvania, 32; Wyoming, 3 A total of 130 electoral voters. "In the same way you should put down as democratic certainties the following: "Alabama, ll; Arkausas, 8; Florida, 4; Georgia, 13 ; Kentucky, 13; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 9 ; Missouri, 17; North Carolina, ll; South Carolina, 9; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 15 ; Virginia, 12. A total total of 142 electoral voteB. "The republicans seem to have the better chance in New York. 26 ; New Jersey, 10; Minnestoa, 9; a total of 65. "The democratic advantage seems to be correspondingly be^er in Colorado, 4; Delaware, 3; Idaho, 3; Maryland, 3; Montana, 3; Nebraska, 8; Nevada, 3; South Dakota, 4; Utah, 3; a total of SO. "This carries the totals to : Re publican electoral votes, 195; de mocratic electoral votes, 181. "This would leave the deciding votes in the states of Illinois, 24; Indiana, 15; West Virginia, 6; Michigan, 14, and Wisconsin, 12." The first three the Democrats have as good chance of carrying as the Republicans ; in Michigan the probabilities are that the Hollanders, who are the balance of power will vote the democratic ticket, and iu Wisconsin the German vote is now against the preseut republican administration. While the republicans eeeri to have the inside track in ?2{ew York and Kansas, yet these may be found in the democratic column on election day ; and further Ohio because of the dissatisfaction in that state on account of Mark Hanna and his political methods, may also go democratic. The present governor of Ohio was elected onaminoiity vote of 58, 000. It will be remembered that McLean and Jones polled 58,000 more votes than did Judge Nash. The forces of McLean and Jones are now working harmony, and Mark'Hanna is justified in saying in his recent statement that, "it is not a question with the republi cans of holding Ohio, butof re deeming it."

M. C. A. RE-ORGANIZED. Thc Edgefield County Work Once More on a Live Basis-Inter esting County Convention. Communicated. . . For the first time in the history of the world the Young Men's Christian Association workers of a county were met together in their 10th annual convention. This is quite a distinction for the modest little convention that assembled in Edgefield on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday last. It is a well known fact that the Edgefield county work which grew out of the organization established here in 1886, and which was re-organized in 1888, is the oldest organization of the kind in all the world, and while a more elaborate and suc cessful work is now being done in wealthier counties in other states, North and South, the association workers still regard ours as the pioneer county work. For this reason largely, the In ternational committee sent among us for a month, at their own ex pense, Mr John Lake who was for merly the Edgefield county secre tary. Some of the other visitors to the convention were : Mr A G Knebel, State secretary of North and South Carolina; Mr A C Bridgman, General Secretary, Co lumbia, formerly County Secretary in Illinois; Mr WC Wbartou. of Waterloo, the College Deputation man for the State; Mr T B Lan ham, County Secretary elect of Mhlenberg county, Ky.; Mr P W Gibson, now of Atlanta, and dele gates from six or seven points in the county. Tne convention was opened Fri day night with a song service led by Mr J R Reece, of Ropers. Thp convention was called to order by Rev P B Lanham, pastor of Re publican church, who has entered the ministry sijice the last conven tion. The report of the county committee, through Mr. J D Kid son, of Johnston, was read by Mr Lake and brought out Hie lo!low ing pointp : 1st. That, while this convention will necessanh' be a small one bo cause the county work bas been without a secretary tor several months, it is certain tn mark an epoch in the history of the work in the county. This convention be ing the first convention of new Edgefield county was smaller be cause of the fact that Greenwood. Saluda, and Aiken counties will, it is hoped, form separate county organizations in the near future. The Committee reported that three of Edgefield's Couuiy Secre taries, the third one being Mr Howard Caldwell, had accepted positions with heaiquarters in Ky., and that it would be neces sary if this work is continued, to ?all a trained CouDty Secretary, jpecially fitted for this work, who mould give his entire time to the ivork in Edgefield County. Such a call will necessitate the raising at once in the various s?c hons in the County, of a sufficient imouut for the salary and expenses nvolved. This will require $1,000, )nly a comparatively sma'l por r?n of that amount being paid for lalaay, as the traveling expenses, ha printing, stationary, and miscellaneous expenses will count ip considerably if the work is ;arried on as it should be. The following gentlemen were dected as a County Executive Jommitte, and have this work in marge: Dr J W Hill, Mr A S Tompkins, and Col Jas T Bacon, >f Edsefield, and Rev P B Lanham, md Mr J D Timmerman, of Ropers. These are to serve until 1901. Mr I E Nicholson, Dr Gwaltuey, and )r F W P Butler, of EdSefieH md Mr L F Dom, of Parksville, o serve until 1902. Mess J D ?idson, D T Ouzts, and E M lix, and Capt T R Denny, of :ohuston, and Mr E J Mims of Ddgefield, to serve until 1903 The headquarters of the Committee MB moved back to Edgefield, and ?lr John Lake was authorized to ;o-operate with the County Com] uittee in raising the necessary unds, and securing a new County Secretary, and to assist in reviving he Associations in the county. Tor this purpose, Mr Lake will emain until about August 15th. The Convention was in every re pect a decided success. It was mt largely attended and could not lave been in th? nature of the cases, mt influences were set in motion hat will undoubtedly result in a ?reat and lasting work for the 'oung men of Edgefield County. Among the delegates and corres loudiug members of the Conven ion were Revs J P Mealing, of "urryton, Davis, and Latimer, of Cdgefield; and Mess J T Mims .nd A A Glover, of Antioch, who lave been members of the Associa ion for several years past. It is onfidently believed that the work ?mich came so near dying at one ime, is now about to begin with enewed life, and with far brighter ?rospects than ever. NOTICE. MR. P. C.
