All you have to do is to cut out the free voting certif[11 icates from each issue and solicit it subscriptions from your friends and |r, turn them all over to the Contest e, Manager. The value of each free e certificate is indicated on it. Votes subscriptions will be governed by s the following table: Subscription 1 year, 1,000 votes 8 Subscription 2 years 2,500 votes 4 Subscription 3 years 4,000 votes !?

To the winner in any s' I fair rivalry where wit is pitted ' against wit, effort against effort, c endurance against endurance, there is a satisfaction not' to be found in c I any other pleasure. The sense of superiority thus acquired is the only sense of superiority that is laudable and bears no resemblance to vanity which is engendered bv wealth or 8! mere success of physical strength ' or charm. The loser in a fair contest is yet winner by the mental development acquired through contesting gallantly against keen oppo( sitlon. To the winners in this popularity contest the pleasure of the strife will be equal to the magnificence of the prizes.

Adams, corpB of en pincers, stationed at Charleston i in Marion tnH?v nibst ?humv.u of Commerce. Capt. Adams was in vited here to iimpect what is local ly known as the Gibson dam, uea where the Atlantic Coast Line rail road crosses the great Pee Dee riv er. It is claimed that about 30,00 acreB of land are made practicall valueless by the overflow of the Pe Dee, whereas if the Gibson dai was restored this rich section, one cultivated with little or no chanc of loss by flood, could be reclaim ed and would prove to be some o the most productive soil in thi very fertile county. The dam was built before th war between the states and in Jan uary, 1865, was destroyed by th Sherman freshet, since which tim the section has gradually become d? populated due to floods and the un liealthfulness caused thereby. j committee representing the cham ber of commerce took Capt. Adam over a jart of the affected area to day and later laid their argumen before him. It is the belief of th Marion people that if this dam i restored and certain bends in th river removed by making "cut-offs not only will the usefulness o the lands and the health of the con munity be restored but navigatio on the river will be favorably al I fected, the dam serving to kee the water in the channel and th straightening of the bends servin to remove the sluggish eddies wher sand shoals form a serious menac j to navigation. It is estimuted that If thes ; things are done it will result in a i increase of land values of this cour j ty of from $500,000 to $650,000 an the work will probably cost not moi it/an $15,000 to $20,000. If Car tain Adams recommends the restc ration of the dyke and improvemen of the channel the money will b available from the appropriations t $30,000 for Pee Dee river. Whet! er Capt.

Respectfully yours, CONTEST MANAGEMENT"t&j# ' - ' > PISTOL DRAWN AT LAURENS MEETING. II ! Attorney (ieneral Lyun is Attack< <1 by Newspaper Man and His Con federates. j I Laurins, August 26.?.Special: Tol" day's meeting witnessed the most ex 1 8 citing incident of the State campaigi r thus far, when Attorney General Lyon was the object of threats and 1 | an extremely hostile demonstration I rj on the part ol J. T. Crews, Henry. Wright and others, following a de- ' 1 nunciation by Lyon of W. T. Crews, whom Lyon charged with responsiy bility for an editorial in the Laue rensville Herald reflecting on his n | Lyon's, honesty. Lyon began his e speech by stating that his princie pal object in coming to Laurens to. day was to reply to the editorial at* tack which he would prove mali-, 8 ciously false, and calling the name j of W. T. Crews in connection with e I its authorship. l" Spectatoi-s Mount (stand. e A f^w minutes after beginning his e speech, and while on the subject of the editorial, W. T. Crews, his brothI er, or some one near the stand, call^ ed '-ut, "read those other letters," l~ Lyon replying with emphasis, "I'm K going to read all about you." J. T. Crews, a brother of \V. T. Crews, 1 then mounted the stand, jumping e over the side rail and attempting to s strike Lyon, but was prevented from doing so by by-standers, Lyon hav- ' ing assumed a defensive attitude and ; awaiting the attack. Henry Wright, 1_ leaning over the railing in an effort " to get on the stand, cursed the At- ; lorney General, who struck at him, , 5) but missed; then Lyon kicked him e in the side through the space between e the rail and floor. By this time j e I those near the stand were in a state e bordering on frenzv. the entire audi euee being utterly confused. The ? j stand was crowded with people, som< n contiuueing to make threats against ^ Lyon and others assuring him of their friendship. For nearly five re miliums pui.dcmonium reigned, the situation being so tense as to make the spectators shudder as to the possible outcome. ^ Fistula Half Drawn. All this time, County Chairman R. ^ A. Cooper, Clerk of Court John F. Holt, and several policemen were making strenuous efforts to restore order and quiet, finally succeeding , in doing so. Acceding to the earnest entreaties of Mr. Holt, Attorney c. General Lyon agreed in order to e avoid further disturbance to refrain ,f from again mentioning the name of : \V. T. Crev/s. i Thus ended peacefully an affair, which, for a while, portended seriiOUs results, as during the exciten rnent several pistols partially drawn 1 were seen in the crowd. During the remainder of the j 1 uitAttpnoa rtf tho nu nrllflntoQ fVir At* torncy Generul, a policeman sat on the steps of the stand, keeping his _ hand on a revolver in his hip pocket, but its use was rendered unnecessary. Lyon Warmly Applauded. I_ Resuming his speech, Lyon said j. he was standing for his personal j. honor when it was assailed and j. would continue to do so. (Applause) He expected the honest eole of Luuie rens to hear him. (Applause) He H had been their Attorney General foi ;e four years, and will be for two yean longer, he said. 3 "Not if you had any one running i0 against you," came a voice from the I crowd in reply, e j He closed by referring to his ser- j :1 vice to the State, and said he expert ed the best p-ople of Laurens to ). i vote for him Ho made no reference i- to-day to his opponent. Ho was wa-mly applauded when he closed. ' r- and he Wi.s exceptionally cool uurlnf >r the pertod of excitement, d Charlnian Calls Down' ftvans. 't B. B. Evans began by repeating h charges against Lyon and using expressiens in reference to his oppoaei; 8 that probobly were not used before j y when Lyon was present. When he ? said Lyon was an "infamous liar," | the Attorney General Immediately re! I- turned to the str.nd and told Chair-^ ?t man Cooper that ha would not stanJ d for such language and" Intended t(L J resent it. Mr. Cooper, begging him d he must conform to parliamentary j >t usages, which was done. More ex- j ?. I cttemeut was manifested at this tinu, ' hisses aud cheers of the audience >h commingling, and it seemed for a > i while that Evans would not be al-. t lowed to conclude his speech, but' 11 order was finally restored, and > j Evans received some applause when he closed.
