StPTEMBb-R 14. 1898 THE ELECTION. The primary election in Ibis State yesterday passed oft* with surprising quietness. The indications now are that there will be a gieat falling off from the number cf votes polled in 4V.O nrimftrv. The incomplete X j returns bhow that Ellerbe leads with [ 199 votes; but it must be remembered that a large majority cf the votes received so far are from the cities i. . and towns where the opposition to Elleibe is the most pronounced. When those from the rural precincts are received another tale will be told, as Featherstone's heaviest vote has been accounted for while that of Ellerbe is yet to be received. Up to going to press the total vote for State offices is as follows: Governor, Eilerbe 22,498 Fertherstone 22,299 S Ellerbe'e majority 199 Secretary of State, Cooper 21,919 Tompkins 18,783 ? Cooper's majority 2,836 Adjutant General. Floyd 25,933 t r i A * Blythe Floyd's majority 9,889 Superintendent of Education. McMahan 23,543 Brown 17,874 * McMahan's majority 5,667 Railroad Commissioner. Garris 28,198 Thomas 12,183 _ Garris's majority 16,183 Finley has probably defeatfd Barber for Congress in the Fifth District, his majority being 1,254, and the boxes yet to hear will increase rather thanteduce his majority. The returns from the county election are so incomplete and there is no probability of getting the official returns in time for us to hit the mails, so we have determined to go to'press at onr usual time. As we go to press 11 precincts nran?T7_oir rriTTQ fho I Ut U1 tncuiIJ-BUk g4iv ?uu VUUVUV....W the following vote: County Supervisor. Koon 539 LaDgford 728 r r ? Langford's majority 189 Co. Supt. of Education. Kyzer 643 Leaphart 520 Kyzer's majority 23 Treasurer. J. S. Derrick 723 E. L. Wingard ^ 538 ? Derrick's majority 187 Auditor. M. D. Harman 659 G. A. Derrick 601 pr- Harman's majority 58 The above does not include a single box from the Fork. Magistrate Chinquepin District. Crouch 165 Addy >. 88 Crouch's majority 77 . It is probably that Maj Koon has been re elected Magistrate for New Brooklaod. Governor. Ellerbe 713 Featherstone 543 A' Ellerbe's majority 170 Brook, Boylston Academy, Lewie\ dale, Kishton, Sandy Run have not been heard from. No boxes from from the Fork. From the present indications it appears that all of the old county officers have been defeated for reelection, although later returns may change the result. A Letter from One of Our Soldier Boys. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The 14,000 troop9 from Camp Alger have landed at Camp Meade, Pa., after a three week's loDg and wet march. They left Camp Alger the 3rd of August and took a fourteen mile march to Berk Station: * there we camped for one night and day; then we loaded ourselves with heavy knapsacks and marched to the old battle field at Bull Run, where we spent two pleasant days our fathers spent many unpleasant weeks. The boys went over the woods for many miles, looking for relics while others were locking for mischief and i % "? 'i L. i succeeded m nnaing it in uinereu* ways. My friend aDd I were out, and on our way back to camp we noticed some of the boys digging in the ground, we stopped to see what was goiDg on and found they weie d gging in a grave, but had not 1 >und sign of aDy bones, the grave was very deep, bo they continued to J dig and finally a joint of a back bone was discovered, so they kept digging and the Dext was a few rib?, next a shoulder blade, and the next was the skull. They finally got the entire skeleton and many buttons from the poor dead soldiers clothes. They buried the bones all back in the grave except the skull, which was cariied to quarters and bursted to pieces, each one taking a piece as a relic. Then they dug up another grave that was near by which had a tomb stone to it. The stone had the soldiers name, company and regiment on it. He was from Co. H , 12th Alabama BegimeLt. Mr. Humphry was his name. I noticed that the ring leader got five years imprisonment for rob bing the two graves. But the joke falls on the Rhode Island boys while they were on this strole, they killed a cow and brought it to their quarters, and by some means they got caught and the beef was taken from them and at the same time they were on provost guard, and the next day as our boys would pass hv fhpv would veil, "who stole the "J * J w - - . cow" and some one would answer, "R L" and another would yell, "who ate the cow?" Someone would an swer "Tenn." This was kept up the | entire day's march. The R. I. boys would laugh at the joke. After a few days tiresome marchiog we landed at Thoroughfare Gap, where we camped for two and a half weeks. There we spent some very unpleasant hours, as it rained most of the time, water was unhandy, we could get no paper and envelops, no tobacco, . in fact every thing was unhandy. Our boys were on provost guard, and for that reason we failed to get our money when the other regiments were paid off. After our unpleasant stay here we took the train for Camp Meade, Pa., where we will be for an indefinite time. Camp Meade is a nice camp; everything is being arranged for the convenience of the ' i i? BOIUiera. ue Liave itruw mm ijwio which make them almost as comfortable as a house. The most important question now with the boys is when are they to be mustered out of service. T. A. H. Second Tennessee Band. Meeting of the Cotton Growers' Convention. To the Editor of the Dispatch: In pursuance of the call of the President of the Cotton Growers' Protective Association of South Carolina, a convention of the cotton growers of the State will assemble in the city of Columbia, Tuesday, Sept 20, at 8 p. m. On account of the busy season the President of the County Association deems it unadvisable to call a convention of the farmers of the county and requests that the delegates chosen at the last meeting of the association to attend a convention which for some reason was never called, represent the cotton farmers of the county at the approaching State Convention. The delegates are as follows: Dr. D. M. Crosson, Lees ville; N. B. WaDnamaker, Sandy Bur; Maj. J. H. Counts, Irmo; Col. J. B Wingard, Lexington; Simon I. Hook, Columbia; J. W. Dreher, Irmo. It is to be hoped that a full delegation will be present as matters of vital interest to every cotton grower in the State will be considered. Delegates who are unable to attend from any cause, will please see to it that their places are filled and their sections represented. N. B. Wannamaker, Sec. Lex. Co. C. G. P. A'ss'n. Grateful Thanks. I desire to return my grateful thanks to the people of this county for the uniform kindness with which I was treated by them during my recent canvass before the first primary. I met with nothing but unvarying kindness at their hands and I will ever pleasantly remember them through the years to come. To those who supported me in the race for County Supervisor I return my most sincere thanks. The vote which I received was a most flattering one when it is considered that I was comparatively unknown before the opening of the campaign in many sections of the county and I feel that those who supported me did so as a recognition of my fitness and ability to faithfully discharge the duties of the office to which I aspired. To those who did not vote for me I bear no ill feelings. They simply exercised their right and I have no complaint to make against them. Having been defeated I gracefully bow to the will of the majority as expressed through the ballot box. "With best wishes for all aLd with the hope tha* our county affairs will flourish and prosper under the administration of the successful candidate and that peace and prosperity may smile upon all our people. I remain the people's obedient servant. Marion Derrick. While in bathing at Camp Wikoff, Montauck Point, Long Island, Naval ^adet Thomas H. Wheeler, a son of Major General Joseph WTheeler and Second Lieutenant Newton D. Kirkland were drowned. Their bodies have been recovered. " Beauty and Power." The secret of a woman's c^if* 'Hrl.

A woman who i# afflicted with the mortifying: misfortune of a dull, sallow, pimplv complexion or that listless movement and attitude which provokes only disgust and revulsion in the opposite sex, ought to avail herself of the purifying, invigorating power of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which makes a strong, healthy stomach and digestive organism ; purifies the blood and imparts a natural stimulus to the excretory functions ; insures healthy weight, clear skin, bright eyes and the animated manner and bearing of perfect health. A lady living in West Virginia. Miss Anna fallow, of Kyger. Roane Co.. writes: " It is with pleasure I write you after using a few bottles of Dr. Pierce's ' Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and I think them valuable medicines for female troubles and weaknesses, p-could hardly go about my work I had such inward weakness and constant misery in the womb. It worried me so that I would give out in walking a short distance. I had a bad cough aud my lungs hurt me all the time. I got very thin, my complexion was bad, and ray eyes would get so heavy in the evening they seemed stiff in the lids. I could hardly move them. Many persons were alarmed about r lnnlced so had and had such a cough ; thev were afraid I would go into consumption. "I felt so badly every day that I had no life about me. I used'only five bottles in all. I shall ever spealc in praise of your grand medicines. They are blessings to suffering females." Another good thing to have in the house is a vial of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They cure biliousness and constipation and never gripe. LewiecUle News. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The first primary has passed, the second draws nigh and candidates still seek after votes. In the midst of the whirl and din of political, agiicultural, educational and other matters, our ministers find both time and occasion for protracted meetings. Rev. T. F. Rivers, assisted by Revs. Riddle and Jefcoat, conducted an interesting meeting at the Baptist church last week. Three were received into the fellowship of the church. Rev. J. N. Wright is also holding a series of meetings at the churches of bis charge. This week he is at Pond Branch. Prof. Sease re-opened his school here again Monday. We are glad to have Lawrence with us again. Miss Jessie Moak, an amiable daughter of Mr. L. W. Moak, now of Brookland, was buried at Mr. James Oswalt's,about two miles south of here, at 1 p. m. Monday. Among the number that attended the remains to this place from Brookland were her pall bearers, W. A. Oxner, D. K. Sox, Hart McGrady and W. A. Gaekill, Rights of Pythias; Samuel Doyle, Tillman Weed, C T Gadsden and John McGrady, of the I. 0. 0. j F. fraternity. She died of typhoid fever. The bereaved family have our sympathies. Mr. Editor, I feel like encroaching upon the modesty of some of our young friends by some personal notes and pleasantries, but knowing that . your time and space are fully occupied these busy election times, I for bear. When times become more quiet and news more scarce you may get more from Josiah. September 6, 1898. An Uncertain Disease. There is no disease more uncertain in its nature than dyspepsia.

Browns' Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. - Mr. Epton's Card. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Please allow me sufficient space in your valuable paper to thank the good people of Lexington county for the magnificient way that they sustained my appeal from the decision of the General Assembly in regard to th6 Governor's appointment of Comptroller General. The vote that I received was more than satisfactory, and I should be delighted to grasp the hand and thank each friend personally for so kindly, generously and fairly supporting me in my race for Comptroller General of South Carolina. It shall ever be my pleasure to serve the people of my State in any capacity that they may decide either rifi TTO f n puuiiv ui Again expressing my appreciation of the magnificient vote given me, and hoping to meet my many friends at some future date, I am. Very truly, L. P. Epton. Spartanburg, S. C , Sept. 10,1898. Items from Brcokland. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Onward and upward is still the watch word here and progress, materially, morally and intellectually the fixed purpose of the citizens of our town on the banks of the Congaree. Among the many new structures going up, we mention that of Prof. W. D. Dent. This is a beautiful two story dwelling of modem design, located at the academy. Mr. Geo. J. Sox has a similar oDe going up, and Mr. Joseph GuDter has nearly finished his two story dwelling. Mr. Gunter has done his work himself and this house is nicely and strongly built and is of tastily designs. Mr. Paul Wessingerof SeaysI ville, is building three houses here. Twnwwm?riBii ii i i ii uinmirrrn i iiiiitim* Mr Noah Room's residence is suing up.

On Friday and Saturday nights, 1(1 and 17 inst., there will be rendered at the Academy, "Ladies Dress Reform Convention," followed by the rendition of ''Ten Nights in a L>ar100m."

Good work is being done in all our churches here, and no more quiet and peaceable town can be found. The coming of the Dispatch is eagerly looked for every week. J ake. Brokland, Sept. 9th. 1898. 03ITUARY. Departed this life on August 25, 1898, at Brookland, Lena Geneva, little daughter of Mr. W. P and Mrs. M. A.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The election is over, and please allow me to return thanks to my many friends who supported me in the primary, and to all the people of the county. It is a pleasure to me to return thanks, as I was not known but very little, besides having three very popular gentlemen as opponents, either of whom I would be glad to see elected. Thanking you, one and all, for your liberal support, I beg to remain for the next two years. M. C. Hallman. Fredonia, S. C.
