Heavy Fighting.
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.
Tokio, Aug. 15.?1115 a. m.?A
dispatch to the admiralty from the
; naval establishment at Takeshiki says
| Admiral Kamimura met the Viadii
vostok squadron 20 miles from Lisas,
j Cores, at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. |

Mob Bums Convicts.
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.
