tamMmmmameoBBBEmmmmwamaammmmKamemmm ? ? Tbe Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, August 10, 1904. A Republican Out. Lever Opposed in this District for Congress. Both the State and1 Record have come out in strong editorials urging the Democrats to vote in the general 0 election, the necessity for so doiDg , bring tbe announcement of Dantzler f for Congress. The Record says: Urgent request: to the Democratic 1 voters to register and vote in the genI eral election are being made by Coni gressman Lever of this district. Mr. * ; T.pvpr iiiRt received word from Orangeburg that the Republicans have again put out an opponent, the negro Dantzler being the dummy this time, as before. It is a clear case of attempting to unseat the Democrat, and it is evident that it is not the contest money that Dantzler is after this time. Everywhere that Mr. Lever epeaks he urges this registration and voting in the general election, and so far the resuitsiiave been good. Mr. Lsver said that from his knowledge of the working of the majority in Washington, he would say f that they would not hesitate to turn ont every South Carolina congressman where there was a contest,should I their majority this year be too small L for effective work. For this reason r he wanted to go there with as large a vote in the general election as possible. Last time he could only show up a vote of about 4,500 for the entire district, and he should have shown op at least 10,000 or 12,000 votes. Some time ago Gen. Jones, the state chairman, issued a circular to the people warning them to be on their guard against this very thing, and it seems that the Republicans in this state are determined to force the issue. The registration books for those not registered will be open only three times more between now and ^ the second week in November, being the first Monday in each month, and k - ~ it is the purpose of Beveral public spirited citizens of Columbia to take the mattef up with these and urge 4 them to register. Those that are already registered will be urged to turn out on the day of the general election so that a large vote will be polled and the district will continue to be represented by a Democrat. Early Sweet Potatoes. Oar tbank9 are due Mr. Willie Dooley, who resides about three miles south ot this place, for a mess of fine sweet potato. .. They are a new variety, the skin of which is white and having eyes and appearances of an Irish potato, and they were of good large size. Had Eaten the Details. r The editor of a country newspaper is often his own reportorial staff as well, and some of his experiences when oat after news would make interesting reading. The editor of a f flourishing journal in a northern Calij fornia town recently called at the > "home of the bride's parents," the day after the wedding. He was defKio ??oqo>?o oil aWrvnf ui v.i.ug "to ?tt the event and wished to give the young coaple a good send cff as well. The bride's mother met him. f "Good morning, Mrs. Jones!" said the editor. "I've called to get some of the details of the wedding." "Goodness," replied Mrs. Jones, in dismay. "They're all gone. You ought to have come last night. They ate every scrap."?San Francisco Bulletin. f Lutheran settlers xor tne soutn. Lutheran Visitor. A prediction made by The Visitor fifteen years ago is being fulfilled. Ik is the coming of Lutherans from the Northwest and from Europe to settle in the fertile fields of our Southland, and thu9 build homes for themselves and at the same time help to augment the strength and influence of the Lutheran Church in this part s of our country, where for a century and a half we have not been numeri\ cally strong. The announcement has just been made that the first colony to settle in South Carolina under the L direction of the newly-created State ? Department of Agriculture by Im migration Commissioner Watson will be a thousand Scandinavian families on a tract of 60,000-acres of land in Horry county, a section of the State where there are not probably twentyfive members of our Church. But the Scandinavians are all Lutherans. The introduction of such cu element I in the South means a great deal in a religious point of view as well as material consideration. The Scandi* 1 11 T 1 1. navians are Dot only readily an juulderane, but they are a most desirable class of peopb?honest, industrious and intelligent. It behooves Lutherans especially fco bid them Godspeed as they come among us and to render them any possible service. Married. "Lzz:e,'? the Leesville correspondent of Our News Letter, has the following to say concerning the marriage of Miss Sidella Watson: "Marriage bells did ring ! On last Wednesday eve at 8:30 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's mother. Prof. W. P Coker, of North Carolina, and Miss Sidella Watson were made man and wife by Rev. E. 0 Watson, of Spartanburg. This marriage was a surprise to many as it was a Deauuful quiet home wedding. No need to say who the contracting parties were, for they are so well known. Their many friends wish them a long and happy life with the choicest gifts from above." A Father's Worry.

In accordance with the will of the late Mrs. Nancy Corley her children have had a pretty monument erected to herself, her husband, Mr. Samuel Corley, and their daughter, Miss Tena, and the "square" has been enclosed by a neat iron fence.

Here is Bill Arp's bit or wisdom that fits every clime, every race, every nation and all time: "Once I was young, but now I am old, and I never have S3en a girl who went back on her mother who ever came to be worth a one-eyed button to her husband. It is the law of God. It is not exactly in tbe Bible, but if is written large and lawful on the lives of many misfit homes. If one of you chaps ever run across a girl with a face full of roses, who says to you when you come to tbe door: 'I cannot go for thirty minutes, for the dishes are not wiped,' you wait for that girl. Sit right down on the doorstep and wait for her, because some other fellow will come along and marry her off, and then you lo6e an angel. Wait for her, and stick to her like a burr on a mule's tail." *_ A j j A X AH waa woznpiimenx. Ail Irishman was in the company of a widow to whom he was paying his addresses, when on giving a shudder she made use of the common expression that some one was walking over her grave. Pat, anxious for every opportunity of showing his affection for the lady of his choice, exclaimed: . "By the powers, ma'am, but I wish I was the happy man." Will be Endorsed. Orangeburg Patriot. T _ ir i a i n in nis speeco nere last wees, uongresBman Lever g&ve utterance to a sentiment that will be indorsed by a vast majority of the people in bis district and throughout South Carolina, when he declared that he wished to get for his people and hi3 State everything that could be had by honest effort and honorable means; but that he didn't want adollar of Northern money that had to be purchased at the expense of principle and self-respect or by the abandonment of Southern ideals and sentiments. i BESEn n So Tired It may be from overwork, but the chances are its from an in- j active Livra ?, With a well conducted LIVER ; one can do mountains of labor : without fatigue. ft adds a hundred per cent to ones earning capacity. it can be kept in healthfti! action by, and only by ! TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE. Hutto will Stay In. The Governor h?s refused to pardon Piockoey W. Hutto, a white man convicted of manslaughter ir O-angeburg, and s^nt up for three years. Hutto sent a personal letter to the governor begging for the pardon, but the presiding judge could not see ary good reason for this beiDg doDe. Hutto is the man who voluntarily came to the penitentiary after the supreme court h?d decided bis case against bim and had difficulty in getting in because be did not bring commitment papers. Cholera Infantum. This disease has lost its terrors since Chamberlain !s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea came into general use.

LondoD, Aug. 5 ?The Peninsular and Oriental Steamship company has announced a discontinuance of the serivce to Japan owing to impossibility of determining what may be termed contraband. The Ocean and China Mutual company has issued a like notice. Port Arthur an Inferno. LondoD, Aug. 5 ?Dispatches from Chee Foo received todiy report the arrival of refugees from Port Arthur with stories of the situation there. HThnn /^AQ/ivika tVifl r>l ano o o on infornn X UUJ UUOUilVU bUC p!U\JV UO uu WV due to the terrible gun fire of the Japanese. The Japanese attacking force is said to number more than 100,000 meD, and in three days, on July 26th to 28 h inclusive, poured 125,000 rounds of shrapnel into the beleaguered city. The fighting, when the refugees left, had been chiefly directed against the remaining outer defense works. A truce was declared on the night of July 28th for the purpose of buryiDg the dead. The Japanese T ave captured all the centre works except those on Christ Hill. A Port Arthur newspaper estimated the Russian loss as 1,000 killed and wounded, and the Japanese at 17,000 killed and wounded. When the refugees left the main force of Russian defenders were inside the permaoect forts constituting the fortress. They have 2,000 guns so plactd as to sweep the plain across which the Japanese must pass to make a main assault, which is expected to occur August 15. Tickets Will Be Printed. The tickets for the constitutional amendment relating to biennial ses sioDS will be p ioted shortly. No provision for the work was made by the legislature, it will be remembered, but Attorney General Gunter and Chairman JoDes have consulted with the governor, and as a result the j tickets will be ordered printed.
