Rkvikw : A souse of gratitude prompt ino to write a ihort card to thank my friends for the very warm support aud itrong vote they gave me in the recent primary election. I am in no way a sorehead, believing that a candidate can make uothing by casting any reflection on auy one after the people have, as we believe, spoken in a delib- j erate and decisive manner. I , made the canvass of the county, J met the people of the various i precinct9 and gave to them mv ideas of the wants of the people in a legislative way, and a majority of them endorsed me and my platform,but the indorsement wa9 not quite strong enough to elect. Yet, with a'l my heart, ' I am thankful to the people for their support, and shall in the future try so to conduct myself as to merit their coutinued esteem and support. I shall not say farewell to politics, for having boeu defeated by so small a vote I am encouraged to believe that my chances are flattoring, land I shall live in the hope that j I shall attain to the height of mv OWn and mv friflnrln1 rl?air? There are many thiugs that are | now bearing down heavily on J the people that I believe can and know should be adjusted so that I every class of our people may ! have a fair start and an even race for a livelihood. I do not believe in throwing stumbling blocks in any one's way, and I shall, so far as in my power, give aid to good county government, always trusting to the honor aud good sense of our people for the proper adjustment of ail conditions as they present therasolvos. I have no ill-will toward any one who may have voted against me in the primary. It is the privilege/of every voter to cast bia ballot as bis own coucience may direct, without fear or hindrance, and I am a9 strong an advocate of that principle as any man, and cannot, cn that account, feel in any way aggrieved at a citizen for exercising this God given right. 4 1 _ -11 ? iigaiu anow me \io tnank ray friends for their very liberal vote. And I trunt. in the future to be able to serve them in such way as to return at least in a small way their favors to ma. Very respectfully, GEO. W. JONES. The Fertilizer Tax.

A Japanese column, numbering approximately 700 men, while marching along at night on a road iu the valley between Long ILill and Division Hill met a frightful disinter through the explosion of an electric land mine, Sept. 1. The mine was carefully laid by the Russians three weeks age. It covered uearly nearly a mile of available marching space. Tbo explosive was placed at the bottom. Rocks were placed next, and ou top of these clay was packed oo carefully that the ground gave the impression of not* having been rliof nrKnrl TKo 5 | vtiovui uvui a uu 1UU 1W/[I UUU*3 U1 Japanese activity in this vicnitiy put the Russians on guard. Near midnight the outposts rushed in and reported that the Japanese were approaching. The Russians withheld their fire for some time. Suddenly tLey threw a searchlight up the valley. The Japanese opened with a riHo fire. The Russians waited until apparently the whole Japanese column was in the danger zone. Then the mine was exploded. The force of the explosion knocked a number of Russians down, and the sight o' Japanese rifles, water bottles, legs and arms hurling through the lighted space made by the searchlight was an awful spectacle. Some rocks landed ineide the Russian lines. There was one appalling moment, during which the garrison itself was stunned, then adeathlike silence The searchlight coldly lighted up the road and hillsides strewn with dead. Letter to Hon. T. Y. Williams. Lancaster, S C. Dear Sir : Lead-and-oil is not good paiut; don't wear ; tbe rule is, as everyone knows, repaint in three years. Devoe lasts six, in the same way?allow wide margin in all such statements. What does it mean, to last? It means the same with both. As to covering that's another. Here's an instance. Mr. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa., painted two houses, lead-and-oil; took 40 gallons. Lastsummer bought40 gallons Devoe for the same two houses ; returned 10 gallons. The paint that covers, lasts; it's all paint, true pair.t, and full measure. Lead-and-oil is all paint but uot good paint; the lead wants zinc. Better pAint Devoo. Yours truly, F. W.
