Cheraw, Aug. 13.?All indications point to a victory for the anti-dispensaryites in the election held in Chesterfield today on the question of dis pensary or no dispensary. There are twenty boxes in the county and out of these seventeen have been heard from, with the following votes reported: 180 against and 188 for, a total of 669. Three small boxes have not been heard from, but they will not materially :hange the result. The dispensary people will at once serve notice of a contest. Hon. W. P. Pollock, formerly a strong dispensary leader in the BLouse of Representatives, has been employed by the dispensary faction o take charge of the contest, and he vill leave Cheraw tonight for Colum>ia where he will file his protest. The ride he represents claim that the elec;ion was illegal in every particular? ;hat the boxes - were not properly abelled, that citizens not qualified electors were allowed to vote; that lome registered voters were not iliOWea to vote anu some non-regiaored voters were allowed to vote. Between 10 and 11 o'clock this mornng the church bells in Cheraw and lome through the county were tolled o signify the passing of the dispeniary. We Guarantee Satisfaction. J. A.

"Girls is a queer kind of varmint," svrofce the little boy at school who had seen ordered to write an essay on prls. "Girls is the only thing that las their own way every time. Girls s of several thousand kinds, and sometimes one girl can be like several thousand otner gins, 11 sne wants you X) do anything. "Girls Is all alike one way?they ire all like cats. If you rub 'em the ight way of the hair they'll purr ind look sweet at you, but if you rub em the wrong way they'll claw you. 3'long as you let a girl have her own vay she's nice and sweet; but just iross her, and she'll spit at you vorse than a cat. "Girls is also like mules?they'rs leadstrong. If a girl doesn't want to >elieve anything, you can't make her. If ahe knows it's so she won't say so. Girls is little women, if they're good; and if they ain't good then nor when they get big, they're vixens?that's what father said mama was once, when she chased him round the kitchen with a red-hot poker, 'cause she was mad at him. "Brother Joe says be doesn't like big girls, but he does like little ones; and when I saw him kissing Jennie Jones last Sunday, and told him what he'd said he said he was biting her, 'cause he didn't like her. I think he hurt her, for she hollered and run, and there was a big red spot over both of her cheeks. "This is all I know about girls, and father says the less I know about 'em the better off I am." Sat on Tack and Spoke. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 15.?That a man may quickly recover his lost speech by sitting on a tack was illustrated last night in the case of Edward Cox, of Williamstown, who found the painful experience a blessing in disguise. Months ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis that left him speechless. The doctors thought a blood clot had formed near the brain and they said that Mr. Cox would never recover the use of his speech. A carpet tack did what medical science failed to do? brought back the lost voice of Mr. Cox and gave him speech as fluent as in the days before he was stricken dumb. The tack was on a chair, point upwards, and Mr. Cox sat upon it last night with such force that the surprise and pain brought to his lips a fnrcefnl exclamation. A moment af terwards his wrath changed to joy when he discovered he had regained the power of speech. The doctors say it is a permanent cure. The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical pcicntists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of human life is many years below the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines its duration, seems to i>e between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body during this decad - caunot be too strongly urged; carelessness the being fatal to longevity. Nature's best helper after 50 is Electric Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that revitalizes every organ of the body. Guaranteed by the; Kanfmann Drug Co., uod Derrick's Drug Store. 50c. Labor Problem Serious Hatter is Chester. Chester, Aug. 15.?The matter of locating immigrants in the county has not been given up. All here do not believe in immigration; in fact, some of onr leading and best citizens are opposed to this, bnt, on the other hand, there are many who believe that in immigration lies the salvation of the labor question. Farmers who have been questioned about the subject assert that the matter of labor to work the farms is becoming a serious one.

He stated that he had been in the farming business for years and that the labor situation was worse now than it had ever been in his experience. He remarked that he had visited several of the towns lately and that he had noticed many idle negroes loafing about. He commented on the fact that there appeared to be few idle persons about Chester and was told that the vagrant law was strictly enforced here and that persons without visible means of support were given work on the county roads.?
