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.

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. A run down
system, or despondency invariably precede
suicide and something has been
found that will prevent that condition
which makes suicide likely. At the first

Trying to Settle Strike.
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;

First Bale.
Augusta's first bale of Dew cotton
was auctioned off August 4th for 13f
cents at the Cotton Exchange.
Mr. W. E. Mikell had been asked
to officiate as auctioneer and at 12
o'clock took bis stand on the steps of
the exchange. Mr. Mikell made a
few remarks about future first bales
in Augusta and quoted the figures
on these sales for several years back,
making particular comment on that
of last year, in which the firet bale
went to A B. Baxter & Company for
20 cents.

Philadelphia Press.
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. For sale

Laying "by Crops.
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.
