This is about as near the truth as any news that has come from the scene of hostilities, and if the falling of Port Arthur will stop that little scramble between Japan and Russia, we say "let |;-V 'er fall." B' Mayfield should not dignify the foolish IBefo and malicious criticisms of L J Williams by a reply. These charges are absolutely worthless, and Mr Williams is only making a sorry spectacle of himself. He is beaten and he knows it and is striking blindly at the man whom he is sure is going to win. Mayfield should go ahead and make his speech and pay .no attention to Williams and his utterances. Leon J. Williams,* candidate for congress from the second district, has demonstrated his utter unfitness for the exalted position to which he aspires in his puny efforts to besmirch the record of Senator Mayfield. Senator Mayfield is able to meet any of the old statesmen in debate, and if he should be elected to con1 gress he will never be found napping, Leon J. Williams to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Mobley, the book-keeper in the "State dispensary who sent out letters to dispensers generally asking them to turn ; out at the polls on election day and work for his cousin for railroad commissioner, (( has not yet lost his position. If he has ever been reprimanded it was not done in a public manner. Is it to come to pass in South Carolina when the whiskey inter ests shall control political affairs abso\ / lutely? When every dispenser must be a "heeler" at the polls for a certain candidate in order to hold his job? Let us hope that this will not be so, and that the voters will rebuke such attempts. "THE MOBLEY AFFAIR." "We have unfortunately misplaced the copy of the Bamberg Herald containing an editorial comment on The State's attitude concerning a certain phase in the campaign for railroad commissioner. We intended to reproduce the comment, but the substance of it will answer the purpose Our contemporary paid tribute to The State's constant fight for good government and good morals in public office and then expressed deep regret at our silence on what it termed the Mobley affair. It apprehended grave danger and had hoped The State would have thrown itself in the breach and attacked the enemy. Instead it has marked with astonishment our sife'. lence. "The State does not feel consciencestricken. No duty has been neglected. j? " As we remember, one of the candidates for railroad commissioner intimated that - Mr. Mobley, another candidate for that r office, was receiving the support of the dispensary. This Mr. Mobley denied and ( - demanded the proof. A letter written to j ? omnlnro in ^Irppnvillp hr a 5TF> Ck uio^uoai v vui|.'ivjv ?m vj iv ' relative of Candidate Moblev who is an |f|- ^employe in the dispensary at Columbia jft?' was submitted. The latter was non-official 0" " and. had the appearance of being sent by sfc one friend to another. Candidate Mobley ^ stated publicly that the writer was a relative and was legitimately interesting himself in behalf of his kinsman. "That is all The State has heard of the :'v;. matter. There was nothing there to indicate the interference of the dispensary in politics. If The Herald has further inforjp* mation on this subject it should furnish it IT , t0 the public; if any candidate for railroad commissioner can show that the dispensary is being used in behalf of Mr. Mobley ||;4 auy one else, we will be found assist|p * ing the exposure and using what influence Ki: - we have against such species of corrup|T * tion. Neither personal preference nor |rj friendship would have influence with The State under such conditions."?Columbia Hp State. Our contemporary is rather obtuse. , Many persons who had no interest in the t. '' matter, other than that of good government, have, we think, rightly inferred y- from a reading of the Mobley circular letter that xit was an attempt to use the influence of dispensary officials in politics, for the reason that it was written by the head book-keeper in the State dispensary to a beer dispenser and asked him to take care of a candidate at the polls on jv . election day. This was certainly asking that a dispenser get out and be a political "heeler" at the polls, something which is forbidden by the State Commissioner and the law, too, we believe. However, this letter was not only sent to "one friend by another" but we know that these circulars have been sent to dispensers in other counties who are not personal friends of -keener Moblev. Possiblv thev have been sent to dispensary officials all over the State, and our information leads us to believe that such is the case. Certainly many dispensers in this section have received them, and if this is not using the dispensary influence in politics, then we confess we don't know what it is. Will The State still contend, in the face of these facts, that there "was nothing to in, - dicate the interference of the dispensary it'.* in politics?" We commend to its careful reading the last paragraph of the letter. * * Cy ;*>, V TO AVOID LYNCHING. Negro Charged with Murder is Arrested at Branchville and Sent to Charleston by the Governor's Order. Braxchville, August 3.?Pierce Middletou, a negro, who, it is claimed, shot at a white man at Cordova, S. C., a few days ago, and who escaped the officers there, was arrested here yesterday /by Constable Byrd after a very exciting ^4 "" 4- /I n r? K o f o caase. ll IS luuiuicu IV-ua^y mat cinuvuing party is being made up near the scene of the shooting and that it is said intended to lynch the negro to-night. Constable Byrd, acting under instructions from the Governor, through Magistrate Brunson, of Orangeburg, slipped the negro off this afternoon, and it is thought will take him to Charleston, as he could hardly be properly protected here. Santos-l)nmont's Lnnatic. Santos-Dumont was discussing with a reporter the charge that he had mutilated I his own airship at St Louis. "Why should I have done that!1' he said. "Either I was crazy to have done it, or they were crazv who charged me with doing it. The whole thing reminds me of j an episode that happened before a lunatic asylum. "A lunatic," continued the aeronaut, "leaned over the fence of the asylum grounds, watching a repair job that was going on Finally he took the pipe from his mouth, blew a fragrant cloud of smoke into the air, and said with languid interest to the middle-aged man who was diging a hole with a spade in the hard, stony soil: " 'What wages do you get, friend ?' "'Six dollars a week," said the laborer, i and he unknotted the red hankerchief J that encircled his neck, and wiped the | sweat trorn nis race. " 'Are you married ?" continued the lunatic. " 'I am,' said the laborer, 'and I am the father of 11 young children besides.' "The lunatic, puffing his pipe, mused a j little while. Then he said : "Tm thinking, friend, you're on the' wrong side of the fence."' Theodore. (With apologies to Edgar Allen Poe) It was in the Windy City, I was musing full of pity, on the party that witty, Wise and manly Abraham Lincoln led to victory of yore, When a journalistic Raven, in my chamber sought a haven, And I cried with spirit craven, "Tell the worst and get it o'er!" Quoth the Raven, "Theodore." "Prophet," cried I, thing of evil! Prophet still, if bird or devil! "By this roof that bends above us, by the chief we both adore! "Tell this soul with grief dejected, if he's going to be elected, "Will this country be projected to the dogs while we deplore? j "He has had three years already, will he have another lour?' Quoth the Raven, "Never-more!" "Be that word a happy token," I exclaimed in accents broken, "'Tis the kindest ever spoken to a fellow feeling sore; "To our ranks good men we'll muster, and we'll route this bronco-buster "And that cushioned chair whose lustre he is fondly gloating o'er, "Chair of Washington and Cleveland he is fondly gloating o'er, "He shall sit in nevermore." And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, I On a placid bust of Cleveland just above my chamber door; [ And his eyes hare all the seeming of a politician's dreaming, And the sunset, o'er him streaming, casts a shade from shore to shore; And Teddy's soul from out the shadow that extends from shore to shore, Shall be lifted nevermore. ?Town Topics.

Rice, Denmark, An Unexpected Retort. A country newspaper man, who is very fond of honey, visited a neighboring city recently, and at one of the hotels he was served with some delicious honey. He enjoyed it so much that he told his wife all about it when he returned home. On his next trip to the city she accompanied him. They visited the same hotel, and when the noon meal was being served he said to his wife that he hoped they had some more of that honey. It did not ap?

The wife received a handsome new dress before they returned home, after making a solemn promise notto tell the story. SICK HEADACHE. "For years my wife was troubled with what physicians called sick headache of a severe character. She doctored with several eminent physicians and at a great expense, only to grow worse until she was unable to do any kind of work.

New Baptist Minister Gives Great Satisfaction in Beaufort, Beaufokt, Aug 8.?All the pews were; filled yesterday morning at the Baptist church, the congregation being composed of members of various other churches. It was the second Sunday service held by Rev M L Lawson, the new pastor from Rnmhprcr "Rev W S Stokes of theiletho dist church (whose church is closed this month on account of his vacation) was present with his family, and, in response to an invitation from Mr Lawson, delivered an impressive prayer for Divine guidance and welfare of the members of the Baptist church and members of other denominations. Rev Mr Lawson then selected his test from the 11th chapter of St Matthew and 28th verse: "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." These proudly effective words of the Savior were impressively illustrated by the pastor. His deep earnestness, stirring words and delivery appeared to greatly please his hearers. His future church work is likely to result in the conversion of many souls He urged all to accept the invitation of Christ and seek rest and peace in his merciful love. EASTERN SEASHORE EXCURSIONS.

Illegible copy has caused innumerable amusing and not a few serious blunders in print. A speaker quoted these lines: 0 come, thou goddess fair and free, In heaven yclept Euphrosyne. They were printed as written: O come, thou goddess fair and free, i In heaven she crept and froze her knee. The reporter was following sound. Here is another illustration : Those lovely eyes bedimmed. Those lovely eyes be damned. A congressman advocated grants of public lands to "actual settlers." It g;ot into the paper as "cattle stealers." A reporter tried to write "the jury disagreed and were discharged," but the compositor set it up "the jury disappeared and was disgraced." The last words in a poorly written sentence, "Alone and isolated, man would become impotent and perish," were set up as "impatient and peevish."? New York Press.
