To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The primary election passed off
quietly, the results of wh;cb, notwithstanding
any protests, bad to be
accepted both by the pleased and
unpleaeed alike
Congressman Lever made a most
excellent and timely address to a
very large audience on Friday evening.
Particular stress was placed
upon the importance of voters being
registered in order to be able to vote
in the nronorul MY. TjflVfir
is very popular with our people and
the "whole town1' did cot lose the
opportunity of bearing this worthy j
son of LexiDgtcn "spread himself."
This address was in every respect
timely and fitting to the occasion.
Already our people are awakened to
the importance of beiog registered
iu order thai they may be able to '
vote in the general election.
Following Mr. Lever, our honored
Mayor, Mr. Brice McCombs, presented
the names of Senator Sharpe and
Hon. D. F. Efird.
Both of these gentlemen have a
host of friends here, and much interest
is being manifested in their
behalf. Confronted with these facts,
it is quite natural for a speaker to
be up to the occasion, and true it can
be said that each speaker presented
his side with grace and dignity, addding
muoh amusement and interest
to the large audience which had
gathered for this occasion. Wild
applause was given each speaker.
Representative elect Etheredgs
being present was introduced and
in bis happy style thanked the dear
people for their kind remembrance
of him on election day.
There were several candidates
present, but owing to the lateness of
the hour the meeting was adjourned.
This ended one of the most delightful
and seasonable occasions that
Brookland has had for many a day.
The Brookland Light Infantry
left on Saturday afternoon to take
part in the battle of Manassas, which
will come off this week. Our soldiers
are the pride of the town and as
their quick steps were made while
marching through the old town, contentment
and happiness could be

their best, and make a gracetul and
handsome corps of officers.
A very painful accident happened
to Mrs. Harry Howell while visiting
her sister in the upper part of the
county a few days ago. It seems
that Mr. Howell, while on this visit
placed his pistol in a trunk not thinking
that aDy one would bother it,
and in his abseDca a boy of some 12
years of age got bold of the weapon,
and while projecting with it caused
it to fire, the ball striking Mrs.
Howell in the neck passing through.
Mr. and Mrs. Howell returned to
Brookland Saturday night and at
this writing, while the wound is very
painful, it is not considered by the
physician as serious.
R=v. E L. Lybrand came very
near losiDg his dwelling by fire Saturday
morning, caused from the explosion
of a lamp. Prompt and
thoughtful action on the part of Mr.
Lybrand saved his residence from
total loss. The furniture was insured
and the damage was email.
Rev. Hemtick has returned to
Brookland after a week's absence,
having been engaged in a series of
meetings being held in the Pelion
community.
Mrs. F. L. Sandel, one of our most
accomplished ladies, after a two
months' trip to the parental roof in
Marion, has returned to the delight
of her many friends.
Oar town has had several old forsaken
gr&68 widowers this summer.
Messrs. J. C. Kirby, Dr. F. L. Sandel,
and Murray Parnell have ceased
donning their new apparel and now
appear as days of "yore" on the re
turn of their respective families.
The Academy building is undergoing
some repairs, and when completed
will be a considerable improvement.
The Company school has
united with the public school and
in consideration of the great increase
of scholars it was necessary to have
additional rooms. Five lady teachers
have been employed and it is
sincerely hoped that our town will
have a school worthy of the community.
R. B. Riddle, one of our most
popular young men, has accepted a
position with the Factory Company
at Red Bank.
Mrs. W. D. Dent and children,

I alter a pleasant; trip to toe parental
roof at Irmo, have returned much
to the de light of another one of
those grass widowers.
M. H. Witt took in Charleston
Sunday. He reports a pleasant
time.
Mr. W. W. Tinsley, of Augusta,
Ga., has succeeded in getting a
sufficient number of "jiners" to or1
ganize a camp of the Woodmen of
the World. This organization will
take place Wednesday night and will
be the sixth secret organization in
our town. One a night, "hain't we
jiners here."
The Duck mill gave their help
holiday on Labor Day. Quite a
pleasant time was spent.
Mr. Drayton Jones and Miss Ella
Bloom were happily married Sunday
morning by the Rev. E. L. Lybrand.

Mr. John W. Earhardt, the eldest
Bon of the late Mr. Wolfe Earhardt,
of this place, has been elected a
member of the House of Representatives
from Newberry, going in on
the first election by a very flattering
vote. He is the mayor of that progressive
city. It 6eems that Newberry

Chasing1 Eniopatkin.
Mukden, Sept. 5.?Preparations for
tbe evacuation of Mukd n are pro- J
cee ding.
Toe Japanese advance is within 30 j
miles.
It is reported that Gen. Kuropatkin's
rear guard has been almost an- '
nihilated and that the main Russian
army is in imminent danger of being
surrounded.
Field Matshal Ojama's whole army
is across the Taitse river and is pursuing
Gen. Kuropatkin'a forces.
The forces of Kuropatkin and
n :?

much stands out iu the news of Monday
and is indicated in a report for
warded by Kuropaikin, who says
that his retreat i3 being conducted in
perfect order, though the Japanese
on Sunday repeatediy attacked his
rear and continued the attack until
Mondav. The result of the race is in
*
doubt.
The united Russian forces are now
north of Tentai, a .station on the railway
about ten miles northeuet of Liao
Yang. They are pushing on to Mukden,
to which the bulk of the Japan
ese forces is marching doect, after
having swarned across the Taitse
river. A strong Japanese flanking
column is about 30 miles northeast of
Liao Yang and is trying to get between
the Russian forces and Mukden.
With this race in progress there
come9 a brief dispatch from Mukden
saying that preparations for the
evacuation of that dace are proceed
A A
ing. This report, if well founded ai
is pointed out in the Associated Press
St. Petersburg dispatches, would
mean the abandonment of the whole
of southern Manchuria and the winding
up of the present campaign.
It was reported in St. Petersburg
at a late hour Monday night that
Kuropatkin's rear guard had been
almost annihilated and that the main
Russian army was in danger of being
surrounded.
Kuropatkin in his report makes no
mention of tbe abandonment of 200
guns at Liao Yang, a rumor to which
effect is in circulation.
Advices from Port Arthur by way
of Chefoo bring the fightiDg there up
to Sept. 2, and say the Japanese losses
were heavy.
A Card of Thaaks.
To the Democratic Voters of Lexington
County:
I take this opportunity to return
to you my thanks fur the magnificient
vote given me on the 30th of last
month. I assure you, my fellow
citizens, that my aim and intentions
are to represent the whole people cf
the county in a fair and honorable
[ way, that will reflect honor to myself
and credit to my county, and any
assistance and support that you can
give me to do so will be greatfully
appreciated and will not b9 forgotten.
I have no public record to defend
and the vote I received at Leesville,
where I was borne and raised, and at
ti _ r ? a.%
Swansea, wnere i cave uvea ior me
past ten years, proves my business
as well as private record.
I stand for better common schools
and better teachers, and for the little
boys and girls, for on them rest the
freedom ana future prosperity of our
country. I am against an unrestricted
immigration law; I am opposed to
extravagant appropriation? forschools
for higher education; I am in favor
of every old soldier having a pension,
who did duty, whether it be little or
much; Less and simpler laws?so the
common people can understand them.
I beg to remain yours respectfully.
