An official ticket can be used for this purpose. Just write the number of votes each candidate received opposite his name and send it to us. p- Love Feast. A report reaches us over the ^ grape vine telephone that after the final campaign meeting at ChapiD . the other day, there was a grand f love feast among the candidates and ? ? VI a general jubilee ana nanasnaKing an around, during the progress of which tears flowed in copious showers down their rugged cheeks and little rivu^ lets of the briney liquid ran from their feet like waves of hope against * fear. They then joined in the sad refrain "When shall we meet agaiD, and all joined in the grand chorus, "At my office door, I hope." One was ?heard to say he was now in the wilderr ness of expectancy but would soon be in the green pastures of a fat office, to which they all lustily respond, "Amen." All along the road the u, welkin was made to ring with hosannas and that masterpiece in bymnology, "We are homeward bound" for each was confident, that he had made v his calling and election sure. But after the votes are counted many will w be found sadly contemplating the uncertainty of a primary election and the fickleness of the voter. Valuable to Women. TVnwiftl 1 v valuable to women is Browns' Iron Bitters. Backache vanishes, headache disappears, strength takes the place of weakness, and the glow of health readily comes to the pallid cheek when this wonderful remedy is taken. For sickly children or overworked men it has no equal. No home should be without this famous' remedy. Browns1 Iron Bitters is sold by all dculers. ? Joint Council Meeting. The regular annual meeting of the Joint Council of the Lexington Pastorate will meet at Providence church on Saturday, the 10th day of Sepv fcember, at 10 o'clock a. m.

On account of the general election coming during Fair week the time for holding the next State Fair has been changed to the week beginning November 14. It seems that all of our candidates are sanguine of success, but after the 30th, many of them will be wonderiug where their many friends were on election day. Rev. W. M. Harden is conducting a very successful and interesting re vival meeting at Hebion. He is being assisted by the lie v. J. N Wright, of Lewiedale.

Sheriff Caughmau went to Augusta last Wednesday f>r Wui% Thomas, but when he arrived there he found that it was not our chain gang bird that soared to worlds unknown. All communications advocating the claims of candidates for political office will be charge for the same as regular adveit:sements. Some of our correspondents seem to have forgotten this fact. The Misses Rawl, who have been spending sometime with relatives aDvl friends in this county, returned to tlnir borne in Richland to day. We are perspiring under the ravages of another hot wave. The weather is oppressively hot during the day: but the nights are cool and n freshing. Col. John Jacob Astor is credited with having asked that his taxep, which are now $300,000, be raised by a higher assessment of his immense holdings of property. It is unlawful to kill partridges until the 1st of November. We believe that several gun clubs have a standing reward for proof to convict any persons who violates this law. Life is like a pack of cards. Childhood's best cards are hearts, youth is won by diamonds, middle age is conquered with a club, while old age is raked in by a spade. Voters should remember that the voting places for the primary are not where the general election is held. See the places where you must vote in the primary on the outside of this issue. Dr. C. E.

"Can't do without them" R. P. Smith, Chilesburg, Ya. writes I don't know how I could do without them. I have had Liver disease for over twenty years. Am now entirely cured. Tutt's Liver Pills Barbecues. We presume there willbe grunts of delight and baas of pleasure all over ! the county from the hog and sheep family when the barbecue season shall have passed. If it were not for the hot weather and the never ceasing tongue of the festive and sprightly candidate, Mr. hog would imagine that it was hog killing time in January, but everything must have an ending and so will these families be given a brief respite from worry. The first barbecue since our last report was that given by the Ladies' Aid Society of Mt. Tabor Lutheran church atBrookland, last Wednesday. Unfortunately the rain descended that day and prevented many from enj jyiug the nicely cooked dinner, prepared to feed the hungry multi tude which was expected to gather on that occasion who would have otherwise patronized this cue. At Irmo an excellently prepared dinner was served by Mr. H. U. Bickley, which was enjoyed by all who partook. Another barbecue at Chapiu's campaign day has been pronounced by one in whose gastronomic abilities we have the utmost confidence, -to have been supurb, grand and sublime. The barbecue at D. Lee & H. H. Harman was well attended. Many candidates coming from Chapin in double quick time to button hole the voter and enj )y the savory meats and coudoments. The rain some what dampened the ardor of the occasion, but notwithstanding all ' * i 1 - i x: report naving nau a goou uuir. With a view of haviqg one glorious dinner, cooked in the old fashion style when a cue was a 'cue, we held up on our rations and went to Lew iedale as hungry as a bear and jast in prime coi.dition to make a vigorous attack upon hash and libs and mutton, and we did ample justice. The meats were cooked to a brown, juicy and savory, the seasoning was just light and it was by far the best 'cue that we have attended in many a year. Hall & B$lman has our undivided thanks and the large crowd of people who were present went away singing their praises. There were a number of candidates present who told the people their views on the public questions. The music furnished by the Hall Brothers, who are natural born musicians, was sweet and entrancing, excelling that of many traveling minstrel troupes. Attend Then All. The barbecue of E. H. Addy & Co., near Brook post office, will be largely attended tomorrow by the people of that vicinity. Hons. George D. Tillman and E. B. Watson, and many county candidates, will be present end will make speeches. The whole country should turn out on that occasion. Extensive preparations have been made by Messrs. Corley k Harman to feed the people who will attend the campaign meeting at this place Friday. The meats will be excellently cooked by one of the best 'cuist in the county. No pains will be spared to accommodate all who patronize this cue. Ou Saturday the ladies of White Rock will serve a No. 1 barbecue, the proceeds of which are to be given to Mt. Vernon church. This cue should be liberally patronized as the cause is a woithy one. The strictest order will be maintained. Quarterly Conference. The Third Quartetly Conference for Lexington Circuit will embrace next Sunday and Monday, *28 '20, and will meet at Iforeb church. Dr. Johu 0. WillsoD, Presiding Elder, will preach on Sunday at 4 p. in. and on Monday at 11 a. in. and hold the business session of the conference. Let us have a full attendance on both days of officials and also of the general community. W. M. Harden, P. C. Look! A Stitch in Time Saves nine.

A dispatch from Bridgeport, Conn., dited August 2*2, says that Admiral Schley, the real naval hero of Santiago, is confined to his summer home in Westport by illness and no one except bis attendants are allowed to see him or have any couversatu n with him. The illness is pronounced a fever, the character of which is not y?t known. End cf the Ccnnty Campaign. We left tie snhation t-rmy a' Brookland Tuesday night of last week addressing the mill operatives. The regular campaign day at that place was the following clay. On accouut of the down pour of rain and the bad condition o:f the roads, not. many electors turned out to hear the speakers and be converted. From this place the army took up its march to the ricL^fields and fertile valleys of Irmo to victory or defeat. Thurs diy between 100 and 12 > voters and a number of ladies gathered to greet t je army and listen to the doctrine of vote catching. The meeting was ai orderly and a model one and the c icdidates were given an attentive and respectful hearing. Maj. J. K. Counts presided at this meeting. The Catdidatas spoke along the lines already given iu these columns. Nothing new was brought out except by Dr. Stokes, who, iu referring to the tariff plank iu Mr. Brantley's platform, said that this issue had, by agreement of the national Democratic party, been settled for the next two years, and that the financial question was the only live issue. From this place the army took up * ' . - i 1 its marcn to storm ana capture toe people of Cbapir. and on arriving there they were met by the next largest gathering of the campaign. They had close attention from the people, and thus ended the canvass of 1808 Hen. C. M. Efird, County Chairman, acted as the master of ceremonies. At the beginning he remarked that this meeting ended the most decent and orderly campaign the county ever had and thanked the people in advance for their good conduct. In this connection it may not be amiss to warn our people to pay no attention to rumors which may be sprung prior to the election. You have heard the candidates, and you are competent to judge of their merits. Let competency and fitnee9 be the standard and vote for the man who in your judgment measures up to this standard regardless of all the CJ campaign thunder that may be distributed. Premier Sagasta's claim, as set forth in Madrid dispatches, that Spain will expect indemnity for all government property, buildings, barracks, foitifications, etc, in Cuba, Porto Rico and elsewhere, has ex cited much comment as showing the difficult questions to be treated by the military and peace commissions. In official quarters here there is no disposition to make a counter claim to Sagasta's proposition, for this will be done in time before the coramis sion, and there is no purpose to outline the government's policy in advance. At the same time leading officials express their individual opinion that Premier Sagasta's claim is very far fetched, as it is said to be the established rule of internal lsw that all public property of a general government passes to the conqueror when a change of territory occurs. The rule is equally well established that private property undergoes no change. The question is somewhat complicated in the present case by the fact that Cuba and Porto Rico are not acquired strictly by conquest, but rather by mutual agreement. Iu the case of Cuba, the question is further complicated by the fact that the United States has not asserted a purpose to acquire or annex the territory, but merely to free it from Spanish domination. Merritt has prepared a proclamation to the natives, which provides a scheme of government for Manila, anrrrmndinr* territory and the other islands in our possession, its chief being: A rigid protection to all in personal religion, municipal laws, tribunal and local institutions for the punishment of crime. It is to remain in force until further notice, except where it is incomparable with military rule. Everything is subject to the supervision of the American general. Provost marshal, and sub provosts are to be appointed with power to arrest civil as well as military often ders. Open trade is proclaimed for all neutral nations and all public property is to be vigorously protected. No inteiference with the people as long as they preserve the peace will be tolerated. Merritt occupies the government's headquaitern. Out of 1,021 enlibted men in the First South Carolina regiment 080 have signed a petition asking to be mustered out of the services of Uncle Sam and he permitted to return to their homes. The oftieers, of course, object to this and have tndeavored to persuade the men to withdraw the petition. The Southern Railway company I has announced an increase of fue I nn<1 ton nor font, in the wntres of all it# employees. This looks as if the sun of prosperity hail come from behind the daik clou J of business depression and is beginning to shine upon our people once more. L-1 i every branch of busiuess take courage and press on. It is reported that there is much sickness among our troops on Porto Rico. J ALWAYS KEEP OH HAND T UOStt']ii//6f\ ?
