Thursday, Nov. 29th, 1906 Some Adventist preachers in Spartanburg county are to be prosecuted for working on Sunday. Some white people we know ought to be prosecuted for not working at all. The State newspaper jumps on us on*account of our paragraph as to the contests of the negro Dantzler and his negro lawyer of Orangeburg, who keep up the farce of contesting the seat of Mr. Lever in congress. The State intimates that the editor of .this paper is foolish, which is entirely gratuitous,, unkind and uncalled for. We believe we have the right to an opinion, the editor of The State to the contrary notwithstanding, and we have no quarrel with ^? ' prtw-nin uiose wnu uisagret; wiui us. vciuun it is that^we do not claim to know it all and put down all as fools who do not think our way. The State's remedy for stopping these contests is good, but it is about as hard to get water to run up hill as to get our . people to vote anything like our full strength at a general election. We think our remedy decidedly more jp; practical. POLICEMAN HAS CLOSE CALL ' / Negro Shoots at Orangeburg Officer While He is Out in a Boat With His Wife. Orangeburg, November 27.?Po.. lieceman W. L. Douglass had a close call on Saturday afternoon, which was not due to his hazardous duties as a policeman. He was out in his boat on the Edisto river, along with Mrs. Douglass, and had just reached the bridge crossing the river when he was shot at several times by a negro. It seems that several negroes were going over into the "Fork" in a wagon, and one of the negroes ~ v jj.w _ ? fired several times m tne direction 01 Mr. Douglass. One of the balls passed through the hat of Mr. Douglass. Naturally Mrs. Douglass was very much frightened, and Mr. Douglass'drew his gun and fired several times at the party of negroes. One of the negroes was slightly wounded, but he succeeded in getting away at j? . the time. It was ascertained that John Chisolm was the negro who had done the shooting, and he was arrested today in Orangeburg. He is now in the toils of the law. Adams to Hang. R. A. Adams, the Colleton man who has been twice convicted of the murder of W. C. Jacques and for whom at one time there was a reward of $1,000 after a sensational escape from the jail at Walterboro, has oeen taken back to be resentenced after a ruling by the supreme court, which refused to grant a -new trial. Adams, since awaiting a decision, has been confined in the State nnd <1 CM AAIII^ 1C1 T>rvtXX in , CU1U CIO V/uui v akj 4av t* a** session m Colleton he will be sentenced to hang by the presiding judge. ^ The complexion of congress, based on the recent election, will be altered somewhat in favor of the Democrats in the House of Representatives and to the advantage of the Republicans in the Senate. The House of Representatives in the sixtieth congress will comprise 223 Republicans and 163 Democrats, [as compared with 250 Republicans and 136 Democrats in the preceding house, a net Democratic gain of 28 members. This will give the Republicans a majority of 60 members as compared with 114 in the fifty-ninth congress. On the other hand, the Republicans will probably . gain three senators, and the align. ment of forces in the chamber will stand 61 Republicans to 29 Democrats. Republican leaders in congress profess to be entirely satisfied with the outcome, as it is certain that they will have a compact and workable margin of votes in both House and Senate under all conceivable circumstances. Lyceum Number. Ellsworth Plumstead is the second attraction of the season. He enter tains with medley programs 01 song, stories, costume selections'and character delineations from the poems and prose of today.

MADE HAPPY FOR LIFE. Great happiness came into the home of S. C. Blair, school superintendent, at St. Albans, W. Va., when his little daughter was restored from the dreadful complaint he names. He says: "My little daughter had St. Vitus dance, which yielded to no treatment but grew worse until we tried Electric Bitters; and I rejoice to say three bottles effected a complete cure." Quick, sure cure for nervous complaints, general debility, female weaknesses, impoverished blood and malaria. Guaranteed by J. B. Black, Hoover's Drug Store. Price 50c. FAMOUS STRIKE BREAKERS.
