Barbecues Defended.
The Edgefield Advertiser is of the
opinion that it would not be a bad
idea for the candidates in 8nme counties
of this State to strike for lower
campaign assessments and fewer
barbecues. Lexington county leads
off with twenty-seven barbecues.
Poor candidates!?Orangeburg Times
and Democrat.
These very barbecues are the most
inexpensive way that the candidates
have of electioneering. A dinner
costs him exactly 35 cents, that is if
he wants to eat, if not then nothing.
From time immemorial, particularly
' in campaign years, it has been tbe
oustom of our people to "give" barbecues
as a means of drawing a
crowd. There is generally speaking,
music, dancing and other amusements
provided at them, which
usually draws a large crowd residing
in the community in which the barbecue
is held, to spend a pleasant
?
day sociably, politically and religiously.
The candidates for county
offices take advantage of these gatherings,
attend them because they like
to mingle with their friends and ac
quaintances as well as in the interest
of their candidacy. It is no burden
upon them. They may go or stay
away just as they like. They are
not assessed one cent to pay the cost
of them, no not even required to eat
dinner. They are purely and solely
private affairs, in which the proprietor
is the sole gainer or loser as the
oase may be. - Alas, poor candidates,
The Times and Democrat would take
away from you your cheapest way of
making the canvass.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Plenty of rain has fallen in this
community for the last couple of
weeks. l*he crops have revived
and are looking splendid.
The name of the new side track at
Mr. H. Steel's is Ethan. Mr. Steele
does all his transportation from there
now. He is doing a thriving business
with the naval stores.
The boys of this vicinity are speaking
of organizing a base ball team.
Campaign on the 26 th at Mr. H.
Steele's.
Wishing the Editor and the candidates
a happy time at all the cam
paign meetings, I am,
Tommie Humpback.

Evidently the war in the Far East
has resolved itself into one on paper
only, in which both contending
armies are making noble and heroic
efforts to out lie the other.

This is certainly a day of strikes.
We have the "coal strike," "the meat
Btrike," "the textile strike," "the Alabama
mine strike," "the building
trade strike" and many more that we
cannot at this moment recall. Evidently
there is a great conflict going
on between capital and labor and
thfl fnll dinner Dail will not figure
much in the presidential campaign.

The "Gold Bags" are in the saddle
once more and the silver men have
aooepted the situation with splendid
resignation and have gone to work
in earnest to effect the success ot the
Demorcratic party. This is as it
should be and what is only to be expected
from patriotic men. But how
wide the contrast in the action of
the two wings of the party. In the
two last national campainge, when
J'
*
the silver element ruled tbe destinies
of the party, the "Gold Bugs" bolted
and by their desertioD, made success
impossible. Peace cow reigns in
Warsaw and all's well the ends weil.

The South opposes the election of
Mr. .Roosevelt to the Presidency of
these United Statee, not only because
jr Rermhlioan in Dolitice. but on
the higher ground that, because, in
every instance, even going out of his
way to make one, he has shown himself
to be an enemy of the South
and is opposed to its progress, its
civilization and its institution?.
Were he given the power he would
thro ile white supremacy and make
ignorance and vice to rule over intelligence
and virtue. This is Mr.
Roosevelt's record, and by it he must
stand or fall.

Japanese Were Too Slow.
Again the chance of a decisive battle
between Gen. Kuropatkin and the
commander of the Japanese armies
to be disappearing. According to a
statement issued by the general staff
tonight, rains are again falling over
a wide area in Manchuria, with the
prospect of impeding operations, but
even more important is the information
reaching the Associated Press
tonight from an exceptional source
that the Japanese once more have delayed
too long. Gen. Kuropatkiu has
now withdrawn the bulk of his army
safely north of Liao Yang leaving
amI S. WAAM 1l?\ A A All t V*
uuiy a euuug tctti ^uaiu i:uc ouuiueast
of Liao Yang to contest the advance
when it comes. \
According to this information the
Japanese have about 300,000 men in
the armies operating against Gen.
Kuropatkin, rendering it too hazardous
for him to risk a general engagement.
The general staff has no information
bearing on the reported presence
of a large force of Japanese at paiibu
ho, a place that cannot be located on
available maps. The report agrees,
however, with the general tenor of
the information received by the Associated
Press and here given that
Gen. Kuropatkin is already retreating
north of Liao Yang.

Congressman Lever will be opposed
in the general election by the
negro Dantzler who has been a
chronic candidate for some years
past, always with the idea of a contest.
It is the duty cf every Democrat
to register and go tc the polls in
November and thus make it impossible
for Dantzler to have the shadow
of justification for a contest, which
would furnish the Republican party
with additional reasons for cutting
down our representation in Congress.

South, Carolina Facts.
The following figures from Commissioner
Watson's report will prove
interesting to our people whether
farmers or not. They tell many
things about South Carolina that are
worth knowing:

These figures show that there has
been less than an aversge natural
increase in agriculture in twenty
years and show that there are 5,323,786
acres of virgin land in the state
not even used as unimproved lands.
Add this to the unimproved acreage
and you have 13,533,059 acres of
land in South Carolina not included
in water area that are lying idle and
are producing nothing. Surely we ;
have room for desirable white agriculturalists
from other portions if
the country and the world to engage
in agricultural pursuits, even though
all our mill noDulation return tn the
fields and carry thousands of others j
now engaged in the trades with j
them.
End of Bitter Fight.
' Two physicians had a long and stub- j
born fight with an abcess on my right j
lung" writes J. F. Hugher,.of DuPont, j
Ga., "and gave me up. Everybody !
thought mv time had come. As a last J
resort I tried Dr. King's New Discovery j
for Consumption. The benefit I receiv- J
ed was striking and I was oil my feet in !
a few days. Now I've entirely regained
my health." It conquers all Coughs,
Colds and Throat and Lung troubles.
