Duty of Democrats.
A Negro Will Run Against Lever,
Columbia, S C, Aug 4 ?(Special)
?Urgent reqoe-t* to ibn Democratic
voters to re^t-r ntd vote in the
general election being made by
Congressman Lev*r of this district.
Mr. Lever has jaefc received woid
from Orangeburg that the Republicans
have again put out an opponent,
the Degro Dantzler being the dummy
this time as before. It is a clear case
of unseat the Democrat and it is evident'that
it is not the contest money
that Dantzler is after this time.
Everywhere that Mr. Lever speaks
he urges this registration and voting
in the general election and so far the
results have been good.
Mr. Lever said today that from his
knowledge of the working of the
majority in Washington, he would
say that they would not hesitate to
turn out every South Carolina congressman
where there was a oontest
u moirtril-v fhifl VPftF bfi tOO
BOOU1U IUCU UiPjVXVJ j
email for effective work. For this
reason be wanted to go there with as
large a vote in ^the general election
as possible. List time be could only
show up a vote of about 4,500 for the
entire district and be should have
shown up at least 10,000 or 12,000
votes.
Somo time ago Geosral 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, beiDg
the first Monday in each mojt .. and
it i? the ourpose of several ; bliospirited
citizens of Columbia to take
the matter up with these and urge
th-m to register. Those that are
alreafy registered will be urged to
turn out on the day of the general
election so that a large vote will be
rolled and the district will continue
JT ~
to be represented by a Democrat.?
Exchange.
Taken with, Cramps.
Wm. Kirnise. 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. Gilford was called and consulted.
He told them he had a medicine in
the form of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
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 incideut
speaks quite highly of Mr. Gilford's
medicine.?Elkader, Iowa, Argus.

- A Family Reunion.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
DrigDC SOU eauy ISSC IIJUIOU aj
morning, the.4th of August, as God
was calling man to duty, we rose
from our slumbers and wa9 soon preparing
to go on a journey, and soon
we left our homes and were on the
rough road heading toward Saluda
river. After watching the wheels of
our vehicle make their revolutions for
about two hours (after crossing the
river,) we arrived at the home of
Mr. Daniel Shealy and wife, Sallie,
where a family reunion was to take
place.
Iq a short time after our arrival
>ery near all of the family had j
gathered; but ere long all who
were present was called in the house
where we bad the pleasure of heariog
the sweet music of a string
band, which revived our aged parents
very much. The band had
scarcely ended before some one was
seated at th& organ ready for all to j
mingle together in the sweet songs
'/:nn After eineing a short time,
Ui VM. ^
mid day was at hand, then we were
all called out in the yard to take a
march. First we passed a barrel of
lemonade and there we drank to our
satisfaction. But, ob! look down
there in the grove under those beautiful
shade trees is a table just loaded
down with the very best of eatables,
to which all were invited.
Thanks were returned to our Maker
I fcr these tifis, then my, tow we did
j eat and eijov ourselves at such a
table.
While we talked and greeted each
j other, the afternoon passed rapidly
! and, lo, socn the sun was einking to
| rest in the far west. Sad, indeed,
! we hsd to part and go to our homes.
; The grand parents, Mr. and Mrs.
i J)<j. id Snealy, both of whom are
| living, were blessed with six eons
j and one daughter. One son ba3
i gone to receive his reward. Of
grandchildren there are 47 living
and two in eternity. There are
twenty-four great grandchildren of
whom four have gone to receive
their goldeD crown. May we all be
permitted to meet again, if not on
eartb, may it be arouDd Jehovah's
great white throne, where parting is
unknown and sorrow cannot come
nor pain never suffered.
Their Grandchild.
Suicide Prsevated.
The startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide haJt 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
thought of self destruction take Electric
Bitters. It being a great tonic and nervine
will strengthen the nerves and
build up the system. It's also a great
Stomach, Liver and Kidney regulator.

A Good Substitute.
If elected to the legislature an
Anderson county man proposes to introduce
a bill providing that negro
and white convicts shall not be allowed
to work together. The State
offers as a substitute a bill prohibiting
white women and girls, who a: e
not convicts, from working in the
fields with negro men; also prohibiting
white women and girls, not corvicts,
from cooking for and serving
meals to negro farm laborers. Let
us consider the woman who should
be shielded but who are not shielded
by thei- meD, before we give a
thought to the sensitiveness of the
white criminal in stripes.
. Russian Boat Captured.
Chee Foo, Aug. 12 ?The Japanese
j cmsul here explains the action of the j
i Japanese destroyer Kechitenlni, inside
the harbor of Chee Foo yester*
i i *' it 1 i I T
day, oy staiiDg mat ice uapauefce
commanders were not aware that
the Russian vessel had been dismantled.
The seizure of the destroyer
was dramatic. The crew
Bang the national anthem, and the
captain wept as the Russian flag was
hauled down and that of the Japanese
hoisted. Previous to this there
had been a short but fierce fight between
the Russians and Japanese.
When the Japanese boarded the
Russian destroyer, the lather's captain
ordered his men to blow up the
ship. The captain himself sprang
upon the Japanese lieutenant and
the two went overboard. It is not
known whether the Russian was
saved, but the Japanese got away.
It is believed international complications
may result from the Japanese
alleged violation of neutrality at
Chee Foo.

Hearing the End.
Cheefoo, Aug. 9.?The firing at
Port Arthur which was heard here
from 10:30 last night continued at
most frequent intervals until 3:30 this
morning. The firing was heavy and
was heard here distinctly. A junk,
| .ich left Port Arthur Aug. 6, arrivI
ed today. Those aboard report that
; nothing has occurred except desultory
! exchanges of shots since July 28.
RUSSIANS ARE RETREATING.
! Tokio, Aug. y ?A report reached
! here today that the Russian force
j near Liao Yang is retreating to the
; north through Chang Tien on the
| road to Mukden, leaving the cavalry
alone to act as a rear guard. The report
is not confirmed.

Trouting? Grand Success.
i By rtquest, Mr. Editor, I wish to |
: tell you of a splendid success at a I
j pond drawing.
| On last Wednesday morning, Aug.
3rd, a fishing party (all stags, how- j
ever, no ladies) gathered at Mr. P.
L. Keisler's null pond. Twenty-one
j shares had previously been sold.
About 12 m. the first trout, which
weighed about 10 pounds, was
caught, of course, before this time
many smaller fish cf different species
had became victims. The attention
of the fishermen was undivided, and
enthusiastically engaged in k*troutiDg,"
which resulted in the capture
cf thirty odd trout, ten of which
were estimated to net 100 pounds,
the others ranging from two to seven
pounds. We caught several partly
filled sacks of suckers, mullets,
bream, etc, and I noticed in the lot
one like which an old gentleman
"way over in Alaska" compared our
Congressman Lever to when the
Congressman was over there once
speaking?a pike. Ask Mr. Lever
about that comparison.

Cured by Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea
< Eemedy.
'A short time ago I was taken with a
violent attack of diarrhoea and believe I
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 it the best remedy in the
world for bowel complaints. For sale

A New Potato Plant.
The State Department has received
a report from United States Consul
Haynee, at Rouen, France, upoa
a new white potato. Mr. Hayres
says this wild aquatic vegetable was
4 -3 ? ? ? >3 f ^ i U/V l*.r?r?l7Q f V|Q
luirouuceu IIULL1 luc uau&u vx tuo
river Mercedes, Uruguay, and was
distributed in Fracce by a French
professor. Ia its origiDial state the
tubercle is very bitter, but the professor
pronounces the results of four
years of experiments with it marvelous.
The consul says the leaves
are small and slender, some what like
a
those of the Irish potato, and the
flowers are abundant, of a pale violet
color, and very odorous, the perfume
j resembling that of jisamine. New
stems branch off in every direction
all the year, and after one planting
the plant perpetuates itself from
broken roots left in the soil.
The consul concludes his report
by stating that there are three varit
ties characterized by the color of the
skiD, the yellow, the rose and the
violet. The last, which is best for
human consumption, presents the
following characteristics: Enormous
anr? nninf.errnntftr! nrndilfthnn. ah
solute immunity from cryptogamic
maladies, delicious flavor (much appreciated
by animals,) adaptability
to moist soil and easy culture. The
vegetable proper (that is, the tubercle)
weighs from one to two and one
half pounds, aud has a yellowish,
wrinkled skin, covered with lenticels,
which disappear after culture. The
pulp, when cooked, has a slight
greenish color.
Sea Fight Reported.
Tokio, Aug. 11.?The Russian flee t
emerged from Port Arthur Wedre day

results of the engagements are unknown.
The Russian battleships Re'vizan
and Pobieda were seen outside

Admiral Sah of tbe Chinese imperial
navy arrived here tonight from
the Miaotao islands. He says the
firing of Monday night was at Port
Arthur and was heavy all night long. i
Further fiting, according to the ad- j
miral, was heard this afternoon.
