Berlin, Aug. 15?A dispatch to The Lokal Aozieger from Tokio, received today, confirms the reports that heavy fighting has occurred at Port Arthur daring the past few days. The Japanese captured three Russian batteries and secured positions close to the inner fortifications. Both sides lo9t heavily. The Japanese have commenced a bombardment from Lang mountain on the harbor and inner defenses.

Judge Lynch Holds Court at Statssfroro. Ga. At Stateeboro, Ga, yesterday a mob overpowered the military guard: and, taking Will Cato and Paul Reed, negroes, already convicted of the murder and burning of Henry 1 I Hodg6S, Lis wife and three children, | burned them at the ataka. The Hodges family are said to have been the victims of a negro organization called the "Beforeday" aocse:y having for its objects kiiling and robbing white people. The militia on duty at the court house had no loads in their guns, and their resistance eeeos i to have been on that account feeble. Vote for the free bridge. Campaign Meetings. We resume our account of the campaign meetings by taking up that one at Edmund. There was a large crowd present who came from far and near, among whom were a number of ladies. This is the home of Senator Sharpe and by virtue of being president of the local Democratic club, it was in his line of duty to preside over the meeting, which he did in his usual fairness and impartiality. In a pleasant little address of welcome he introduced the candi dates, commencing at those for County Commissioners and going up to the head of the ticket, with the exception of George B Timmerman, candidate for Solicitor, who was granted the privilege to apeak out of his time in order to take she train to meet an important appointment. The 'cue of Reeder Bros., was an up-to-date affair. The (service was excellent and the meats deliciously cooked by that "Prince of Cueist," Mr. Eli L. Corley, who was assisted by Addison Suber. Everything pissed off pleasantly and everybody nad a good time. The campaign meeting at Efird's Mill was largely attended by the people of that vicinity, but not so largely as it would have been had the river not been so swollen as to prevent the people from the Fork from crossing. This is the home of candidate Ui&rd and Deing m ms own baliwick, he was all smhes and as polite and attentive as a dancing master, but then Frank Efird is always that way when it comes to entertaining guests. E A. Kleckley furnished the 'cue in admiral style and thus the campaign meeting cf '04 at that place came to a close. The barbecue of Sox & Kaminer, Saturday, is said to have been the largest ever held there, and this is saying a great deal, as this is an annual barbecue and nearly everybody in that and this vicinity attends them. This was a regular campaign meeting and the candidates were on their good behavior and all made excellent speeches. After they got through entertaining the crowd the young folks took charge and dancing, music and "courting" were the en-C s\-wr w? ha T w r\t fVlO of tor. j \j J tii3U.'.0 1U1 UUC iCOV Ui IUE Wlkl2200II. The candidates took advantage of the :.ce cream festival at Irene, given for the benefit of the local lodge of Odd Fellows, Saturday night. They met a large crowd and were well repaid for the trouble they took to shake hands with the Irene voters. Murdarsd in Columbia. A young white woman going under the 6isaumed name of Maude Allen, who has been in Columbia for some little while, was found ic a dyiDg condition at her home, 514 Plain St. Thursday. When found she was gasping her last Her body was terrii blyrnangled and biocd wae oziDgfrom numerous gaping wounds. She was between 25 and 30 years cf age. She claimed to have came from a village from near Durham, N. C. v f _ j5 1 l j JL'ne tragecy is snrcuaeu m mystery and the solution baffles the skill of the local detectives. ; Kemember that there will be no ' bond issue to build the bridge. The proposition is simply this. That the bridge will coat not less than $12,000 cor more than $13,500, a levy of one mill for three years will raise enough funds to pay for the bridge and that will be the end of it except that we will have a good steel bridge and the people will never miss the money they pay for it. /' # ^VVVV^-VVVVVVV&VVVVWVWVVVIi surocs^ ^ $ At Cost!
