The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 10. 1904. An Apparent Danger. Columbia Evening Record. It cannot be too strongly urged upon the Democratic voters of the State the nec?ppity oi qualifying and voting in the gtotrim eitCtion. We have become eo accustomed to settling the candidacy of aspirants for office in the primary that the general election is wholly neglected, and the vote cast in it is as nothing compared with the voting population, even of the Democratic party. This may not make so much difference, under present circumstance*, in so far as local or state offices are concerned, " - ? bat even in this regard toe pracuuo of not voting in the general elections is a bad one. When it comes to Congressional candidates the duty of every Democrat in the State is more apparent, because Republicans of the North either cannot, or will not, understand conditions in the Sooth. They oannot, as they say, understand bow a Congressman can be elected with a few thousand votes which ate - greatly less than the rtquired number entitling any particular district to representation in the house of representatives. From a political standpoint it is no doubt a matter aboot which Republicans refuse to understand, but no excuse should be given them to have even a semblance of right m deciding in lavot u& ? contestant from this State. It is said tbat there will be a number of Republican candidates for Congress in ?bi3 State, among tbem J ' v. I the notoriously ignorant negro Dantzler, who is to oppose Congressman Lever. He made a contest before the last Congress, and perhaps, had be not been personally on the* ground so that the committee which had the contest in charge could see him, he would have been seated. As it was, Mr. Lever bad great difficulty in retaining bis seat in tbe national legislature, and it was owibg largely to biB personal popularity that an ' adverse report was not made in bis case. His experience will be tbat of others from this State if .the next '' . i bouse is Republican. It behooves all Democrats, therefore, to get rid ' of the idea tbat toe primary settles all things political. It does as to local affairs, but a Republican house 8bonld be given no reason whatever to unseat a member from this State. The Republicans will be disarmed if | the Democrats turn out and 'cast a fnll vote in the general election. i Taken with. Cramps. Wm. Kirmse, a member of the bridge gang working near Littleport, was taken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so severe that he. had to have the members of the crew to wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted. He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamberlain's Colic, Choii era and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would help him out and accordinly several doses were administered with the result that the fellow was able to be around next day. The incident speaks quite highly of Mr. Gifford's medicine.?Elkader, Iowa, Argus. This remedy never fails. Keep it in your home, it may save life. Few sale by The Kaufmann Dtug Co. Rounding Them Vp. St. Petersburg, Aug. 5.?General Kuropatkin's positioo, hemmed in as it is by three Japanese armies north of Hai Cheng, is causing the greatest anxiety in official circles. Lights burned the entire night at Jfeterfcor palace, where the czar is. There were frequent interchanges of mes- j sages between the palace and the ministers. Starr Signs. A Chicago dispatch to the Washington Post says: Prof. Frederick Starr, head of the anthropological department of the University of Cnicago gave his class in elementary anthropology a list cf the marks of degeneracy. Here they are: Bed hair, but not for the Irish. Blond hair in dark races, all right for Swedes. Bat ears. Ears with small lobes. Parting hair on right side, or in the middle. Gray hairs before age of forty-five. Crose eyes. Left-handnesa. Men wearing much jewelry. Tattooing. Snub Dose. Cowlicks in hair. Baldness. R-ceding chin. P.otiuding lips. Teeth eel wide spart. "A person may have twelve of these marks of the degenerate," said Prof. Starr, "and be ail right. If he has sixteen of them, pity him.v "You needn't look at me so close-* - - - * . "i J1 Ij," ho remarked as me stuaenc gazeu at him after the "teeth wide apart" rule. ''I know I have maDy of the marks. These marks are hereditary, and by them you can tell the tendency of a person toward degeneracy." Speaking of bat ears, he said: "It is strange that the oDiy two bat-eared students in this class are sitting together." Then he added: "I know a young man in ape of my clisses who wears four rings on bis fingers. Within ten years that young man will go to ruin." Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been discovered will interest many.

Chicago, August 5.?Federal interference in the stock yards strike was suggested today when International Secretary Call, of the Butcher's Workmen union, divulged the fact that he bad been in conference with representatives of the United States bureau of labor and commerce Who the agents are, or what their immediate plans, Mr. Call refused to say. If the stock yard strikers stand firm until next week their leaders believe tbey can secure a settlement. Every effort is being put forth to hold the men together. The strikers have arranged for a> big demonstration for tomorrow. Farmer's Alliance Meeting. In order to retain its charter the Farmer's Alliance held a meeting recently in Columbia at which dues were paid and officers were elected Practically no business was transacted but the Alliance has no idea whatever of dissolving but will endeavor in the near future to instill new life into the organization which it originally brought about for the mutual j protection and improvement of the agriculturist. The officers now are: D. F Efird, of Lexington, president; J.G Nesbit, of Lancaster, secretary and treasurer; Dr. J. L. Sbuler, of Lexington, W. "P Ooolfur r,f Tian/tABtpr Anil ,T. A.

A newsboy was strutting along Walnut street recently when dose to the curb he espied a bright 10 cent piece. A beuevoleut looking gentleman stood near. The honest boy, thinking the man Lad dropped the coin, picked it up and offered it to him. The gentleman turned kindly and not only allowed the youngster to retain the coin, but gave him a quarter, sayiDg: fam Kflinrr Knnflof ' Xicro IB U irwoi'J 1 VI UCIUJ^ uuuvui, my young man." The boy trotted off in high spirits. That night he slept,little, partly on account of thinking of his good fortune, and partly because of a scheme which his youthful brain had hatched. He would make money deliberately in the same way as he had accidentally made it on that day. It would be necessary to drop a coin near some one then the reward would come in the way of a present for honesty. The next morning he started off early, and seeing a well dressed gentleman standing at a corner, be softly approached. Deftly he dropped a 10 cent piece near the man, suddenly he said: "'Excuse me micter, did you drop this ?" The gentleman, a noted millionaire, glanced at the prrff^red coin. Then he took it, saying: "Ah! perhaps I did. I always have loose change about, but I must rpward you for Vour homstv." The boy's heart went pit-a-pat. 1 The millionaire fumbled in Lis pocket till a car was near. Then he quickly pressed a penny into the j anxious boy's hand and boaided the car. Cured "by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Hemedy 'A short time ago I was taken with a violent attack of diarrhoea and believe 1 would have died if I had not gotten relief," says John J. Patton, a leading citizen of Patton, Ala. "A friend recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I bought a twenty-five cent bottle and after taking three doses of it was entirely cured. I consider ;t. the best remedy in the world for bowel complaints.

Id one of the counties a few days ago we saw several fcundrei acres of cotton. About half of it seemed laid by. That is, it had not been plowed tince beating showers of rain fell about tbe last days of June. The ground was packed. While there was not much grass the cotton was sadly in need of proper cultivation at the right time. Tbe ground is now too hard for the cultivator and tbe cotton is not doing well. Up to the 20-h of June cotton can be neglected without any great injury, but after that date it Deeds constant attention. If you plow a lot one day and a beating, baking rain falls next, put the plow in again as soon as the soil is dry enough. In many sections of the State there is a lack of rain. The cultivators should never stop on that account. Late cotton should be cultivated up to the 10th of August. We are most favorably impressed with one horse harrows with 12 or 14 spike teeth for cultivating cotton the last few times. Each run cultivates a row. Better than that are the cultivators made after the style of the - mi l l flanet junior, iney ciean a row at a run and the wheel in the front guides the depth. The fine plows may be arranged so that dirt can be thrown to the cotton. The main thing iB to break the crust after every rain and keep cultivating until some time in August. J. M.
