The following letter was sent us for publication last week but on account of the pressure on our columns we eenld not possibly publish it, but . as it is good reading matter and full of wholesome advice, we give it to oar readers now with the hope that each * individual voter will see the danger signals and do his fall duty on November 8. Remember that Mr.'Lever is not elected yet bat has only receive! the nomination as the Democratic candidate for Congress from the Seventh District. Be enre yea I vote in the general election.?Editor | Dispatch ]. Lexington, S. C., Aug. 29,1904. To the Editor of the Diepatcb: In the rash and harry of the campaign I have been making in the in- ' tercet of a more thorough registration of the Democratic voters, I inadvertently, in my statement to the ) press, said that the first Monday in September was the last day for registration. A more careful examine - -- 1- -? il_! v tion or toe law snows mat we nave | l two more days for registration, namep lj; the first Monday in September and the first Monday in October. The general election-this year comes on the Toesday after the first Monday in November, which is the 8ft day of the month. The law provides that the registration books shall be kept open every first Monday until 30 days immediately preced ing the general election, and, therefore, the registration books will have to be kept open for the registration of voters on the first Monday in October. My experience in handling the conteats that we have had to make in Congress, convinces me that we are very much weakened by the small vote in i?ie general election and my information is that in some connties of the District hardly one-third of iin onfa to ronieforad liliO X/OUiuvuamu tyvu <D *vg<u*vtvw and qualified to vote. This is an nnhealtby state of affairs. If the next bouse is Republican by a email majority, a contest from this District would be a most dangerous matter. There are many good men, Republicans, in Congress who sympathise with us in our effort to solve the Southern problem and if everything is favorable they are with us; but when I go to them with a vote of four or five thousand, they immediately begin to compare their vote of forty or fifty thousand with mine, and the comparison is not at all favorable to my cauBe. The Republican platform demands that Southern t representation be reduced in proportion to the disfranchisement of the ? ? -11 tr* t _ i. vote m toe oouioeru otu^B, ituu n from districts in which there is a K contest, a small vote is like a wet B blanket?almost smothering DemoI cratic home of saccess before a hostile committee. It is important, therefore, that every man sbonld get his registration certificate, and, not only that, but that he should vote in the general election on November 8th. The primary settles nothing. It is only a method of naming the standard bearears of the Democratic party in this State. To elect we must go one step farther and vote in the general election. In this campaign, although withL gf?a?BWB??MS?bbjb?an out opposition withiu the party, *1 have gone from place to place to urge upon the people the great impoitance of voting in the general election. I am much encouraged from the reports I have received from the Boards of Registration. The people must remember that in order to qualify themselves to vote they must not only have a registration certificate, but a tax receipt for the last fiscal vear. Get a certificate aDd pin it to your tax receipt aDd on November the8'b, be sure that you yourself not only go to the election, but that you take your frieDd wish you in order that the vote in this District may be as large as possible, j It is a most important matter and must not be forgotten.

Berlin, Sepfc. v2 ?Tbe Tageblatt learns from a high official puthority that a movement is on among the powers to terminate tbe far eastern war by mediation. America and England are most prominent in the movement, while France is supporting it. All are animated by the fear of the 60-called yellow peril, if Japanese success is carried too far. It is proposed, says the paper, to sssent to the Japanese annexation of Korea, but prevent her permanent occupa- j tion of Manchuria. % ^ Cause of Insomnia. Indigestion nearly always disturbs the sleep more or less and is often the cause of insomnia. Many cases have been permanently cured by Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

If every person knew that it is impossible to sink if one keeps bis arms under water and moves his lege as if be were going upstairs, and that one may keep this motion up for hours before fatigue ends, there would be few casualities. Such is the fact. Ex cept wnere cramp renders motion impossible, the man who gets an involuntary docking has small chance of drowning. He can generally keep afloat until rescurers appear. The people who drown are those who franctically wave their arms out of water and lose their self possession. At Brunson, Hampton coonty, recently J. B. Bennett shot and killed his wife. He was awakened by a noise and saw some one he supposed was a burglar. Drawing a pistol from under his pillow he shot his wife through the heart. Bennett was implicated in a murder in 1895, and was pardoned on condition that he never return to the State. His wife had been living near Brunson and Bennett bad been visiting her. Murdered Woman. Buried. The body of Maude Allen was buried yesterday. In addition to the amount furnished by the county. $5 or $6 was raised by subscription aod Undertaker Van Metre made no charges, so that a lot was purchased for the interment.

Rome, Aug. 30 ?A telegram from General Kuroki's headquarters states that the Japanese right wing has advanced toward Schilikio. The telegram adds: "If the Japanese are able to bold their position there, they will make it impossible for General Kuropatkin to retreat to Mukden." Some people never lend a hand unless its empty.
