Mexico seems to have been
lost sight of since the big war
loomed up in the east.
Don't forget to keep all the
old cans and buckets turned up
to catch the rain; your supply of
mosquitoes might dwindle.
The men all need a month
off to rest up, but the ladies, oh,
no, they don't need any rcstf?)

Today is the time for the senatorial
candidates to cry themselves
hoarse at Chesterfield.
County Chairman Hough says
he has prepared for any disturbance
that might he started and
that any offenders will be
promptly lodged in the county
jail. Cood for Hough. We
hope he will stick to that.
Watermelons are down in
reach of the niggers and editors
now. Big, fine, juicy melons
have been selling for a nickle.
Just think of burying your beak
in the verv heart of a big melon,
with a feeling thai you can
afford it. No more gnawing
rinds and eating half green
melons. They must be fine, or
there is nothing doing.
The foundations of the
government of al1 Europe are
shaken by the war which has
nrtunllv
._ of the
guessed at this time. The assassination
not many days ago of
Arch Duke Ferdinand and his
duchess of Austria by conspira
tors of Servia gave rise to the
whole trouble. Austria demanded
an apology from Servia and
that the assassins be hunted out
and punished; not only this
but also that all secret organizations
in Servia be suppressed.
The requirements were so drastic
that Servia refused to comply,
and Austria declared war. Russia
hastened preparations to aid
her little Slavonic ally and
Germany entered the arena by
backing up Austria and declar
ing war on Russia. From the
dispatches at hand at the time
this is written we are led to
expect France to join in with
Servia and Russia, and because
of an alliance with the Rritisli
government, virtually force
England to lake an active part
in the war against her rival,
Germany. Italy will probably
. J *-1
siue wim uermany and Austria.
As we said at the outset, we
wouldn't hazard even a guess as
to the final outcome of such a
conflict as this bids fair to he.
A moment of contemplation
brings a shudder, for the loss in
human life and in property can
not be told. The suffering and
distress that a mighty struggle
will bring is beyond human conception.
Butchering humans in
hundreds and thousands is
bound to result if all the devilish
implements of modern warfare <
are brought into play by these '

war.
Of course, there is no cause
for alarm at home, for the broad
and friendly Atlantic lies
between us and the scenes of
war. There is absolutely no
probability that the United States
will take any part in the fight
but we may expect to suffer a
temporary decline in the prices
of cotton and some other products,
but a long war in Europe
would prove a financial and
commercial asset to this country
and we would probably be helped
in some instances by the misfortunes
of the people who put
their time and energy into a
foolish struggle and fight them:
selves to death like two cocks*m
a pen.
We hope that there may yet
be a settlement of the differences.
hut there is little grounds for1
such hope. A general war in
Europe has been teared for
twenty years and this expectation
seems about to be fulfilled.
Death of Maj. W. A. Evans.
Maj. William Augustus Evans
died at his home at Ilornsboro
about 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning.
He was about 82 years old
and had been in failing health
for several years, though he had
been confined to the house only
a few days.
In his death a life that has
been prominent in the affairs of
the county for a long time was
ended. lie was born and raised
near White Plains and made his
home there until a few years
after the war, when he moved
to I Iornsboro and there spent
uie remainder oi Ins lite.
Mr. Pvans served the full four
years in the Civil war. He was
first lieutenant in the Chesterlield
Light Artillery, known as
J. C. Coil's batter^'. He ably
represented Chesterfield county
in the South Carolina General
assembly back in the seventies^^
He was the last of the charter
members of the Mt. Moriali lodge
of Masons, and the sword he
carried during the war is still i.i
the possession of the lodge,
r vie. was twidK1" maifitti, -inc
first time to Miss Annie Hennagan,
of Marlboro county. No
children were born to this union.
The second marriage was to
Mrs. Willie Poole, of Newberry.
Mrs. M. j. Hough, of Chesterfield,
is the only surviving
daughter of this union.
His heart was uncilv tniirVio/l
_ - ,.,V.
b\ the call of need, and he could
hardly turn down a request for
help. He was a member of Mt.
Moriah Baptist church, and his
life bore him out in his profession.
The county, and especially
1 lornsboro community, has lost
one of the most active and in*
fluential men that ever resided
in it.
The body was laid to rest in
the cemetery at Chesterfield
Monday afternoon with Masonic
honors, after a short funeral
service had been conducted by
Rev. B. S. Funderburg.
Storm in Lancaster.
Lancaster, -Aug. 3?Yesterday
afternoon one of the most severe
electric rain and wind storms
seen here in a long time struck
Lancaster and the county generally,
doing considerable damaw
in a number of sections. At this
place the attractive new home
of John D. Caskey on Chesterfield
avenue was struct by lightning
and badly damaged, though |
the loss is covered, it is said, by
insurance. Several large trees
were uprooted, fences and outhouses
and other buildings
blown down. In the Antioch
section the barn and stable belonging
to the Rev. B. F. Carson
were carried awav by the wind.
In the same neighborhood
considerable hail fell, playing
havoc in some places with cot |
ton and corn. Probably the |
greatest damage throughout the j
L'ountv covered by the storm, j
however, was the disastrous |
c ashing of farm lands, the rain C

Psychical research makes nc

Perkins, the inventor of coal tai

jently. He confesses to believ

"Snooks, visiting a countjy
louse, was put in the haunted
chamber for the niaht. He said
hat he did not feel the slightesl
