Russia Wind Out.
At a final meeting of the peace
plenipotentiaries of Hus^ia, and
Japan at Portsmouth, N. H., the
.Japanese incontinently backed
?down form every important de
tnand made by them on Russia,
And agreed to what every fair
tminded man will say, an igno
minious peuO}. Tins event took
|>Iace on Tuesday, tlio 29th inst;,
.find the result was us great a
?surjlrise to the Russians as? it
twas to tlio whole Civilized world.
By the terms of $he treaty,
Japan waives her Claim for in
demnity for the cost of the war.
She passively cedes back to
ftiissia ohe half of the island of
.{Sakhalin which she had fairly
?Won by force of arms, and has
Relinquished all claims to Russian
tyar-ships that she had chased
?into neutral harbors and ports.
Still, wo have peace, a boon to
the world no doubt, but in our
eyes, a peace most ignominious
.lo Japan. Now Watch cotton.
A MAD PltKSlonNT.
*
President Roosevelt may not
be exactly mad, but his daring
Jn going down in a submarine
?fooat off Long Island on the 20th,
;aucl remain# under water lifty
Ininutes, gives one an idea that
there is a shingle loose some
?where. Doubtless, the Prose*
ident had Ins private reasons for|
this, to our mind, reckless ac
tion. Having, as he thinks, ob-;
.tained a turn grip 011 the earth,
Jie seeks tiloro worlds to con
.quor, and essays to measure
iSwords (or fins) with tltn min
now nnd the whale in their na
tive clement..
Personally, we have not the
-slightest objection to Mr. Roos
volt taking Ins life in his hands
^n this manner, looking at tlio
vtnattor from a purely personal
standpoint, but, as a citizen of
?this great American Union, and
?the Phillippiues, we most strenu
ously object to having our
nerves jarred so hard 111 this
Way. What would become of
.poor Russia, and little Japan if
President Roosevelt found a
lasting place of repose umong
the poll.y wogsT To what realm
of obscurity would bo consigned
.the, at present brilliant career*
<of Dr. Booker T- Washington* of
Tuskeegee, Ala., and ouV own
Dr. Crum, t.> say nothing of the
fate of future Washingtous ami
?Crums? The introspect is har
rowing. We dtdu't feel that
earthquake the other night, but
liave no doubt that it was caused
.by the rash act of one of the
earth's greatest ones in braving
for fifty minutes the brinny dcejn
leaving us of the upper shallow,
prepared to dissolve at any
moment in briney tears.
As the air ship has now been
?practically made a medium of

itDclei1 the above! hond add sut
bead, we announced last week
Jhat the mammoth excursion got
ten up by Mr. J. E. Creed to run
from Lancaster to Cnarleston,
liad been called off by the rail
road officials under orders of the
quarantine officers of Charleston.
We gave the information gratui
tously to the Camden public, us,
although The People is not sup
posed to be published until
Thursday, we usually circulate
the whole, or a part of the city
mail on Wednesday evening.
Imagine our surprise, and
chagrin, when on Thursday
morning wo picked up a flaming
hand bill which contained the
following among other matter
iu connection with the excursion:
Sonle person unknown
to me, has started a report
that this Excursion has been
called off, and will not run on
the 24th. Now, I wish to in
form the public that there is
net a shadow of truth in this
report. If such a thing had
b3en done, I would have in
formed you so.?CREED.
Now, as this report was pub
lished in The People although
at the eleventh hour, we con
sidered our authority for its pub
lication pretty reliable, wo want
to clear our skirts of giving
false information, by introduc
ing Mr. Creed to the party to
whom we were indebted for the
information. 'l*he gentleman's
tiaine is J. E. Creed, and our in
terview on the subject tooic place
in The People's Restaurant.

A Visit to Sumter.
Ou Monday morning, we took
the Wilson flyer, and in due time
reached our point of destination*
Sumter. It was our tirst visit
to our new suberb, and we may
say tnat we were pleased with
the evident fact that her people
are "catching on." On every
hand We notdd evidence of solid
progress. New stores, new
residences and other buildings
are spriugiug up on every liaud,
and land down there isn't jirst
common laud, especially on
Main street. Think of property
bringing >^300 a foot front, that
ten years ago would not have
brought a tenth of that sum, and
you can form a faint idea of the
rise in values. Naturally, with
any city of such .rapid growth)
the population is variously com
posed. We struck up with a
lot of people down there who
rcinindctl us forcibly of George
Crosby's ice house, and It tlill.
On the other hand wo met with
as clever a s?t of people as you
can tind in Camden even. Promi
nent among these, we may men
tion Mayor George Dick. He is
as pleasant a gentleman as one
would wish to m3et, and Sumtea
should be proud of him. We re
gret his misfortune iu having his
cow bite a rattlesnake, or a
snake bit his cow a few days
previous to our visit. lie says
that from eitlier the one cause
or the other, the cow has no
horns. Among others to whom
we are indebted for kindly at
tentions, are Messrs. Miller and
Moses of The Freeman and
livening News, Col. T. V. Walsh,
the venerable Judge of Probate,
Mr. Parrott, the genial Clerk of
the Court, and Messrs. Guthrie
and Hammond of the Singer
Machine Company. We must
not neglect to mention the little
lady in the singer oflice. She is
bonmo, and altogether chwminfc.
In our stroll urouud tho city, we
became more and more impress
ed with the fact that Camden
can give Sumter points on hand
some residences and grounds,
while in stores and public build
ings, Camden is far and away
ahead. There is 110 question 111
our mind that a good, hot fire
sweeping along a considerable
portion of the business ?ectiou
of Sumter's main street, would
do a world of good
Sumter has good water, but
strange to say, we found veiy
few people who drank it. Tea,
coffee, milk, or something else
soo 111 s to be preferred. In our
personal column, we will make
mention of others Who leut their
aid to make our visit pleasant.

He stated that he had received

''Did you pay anything on Gov.
Heyward's campaign expen

"Yes. quite a lot."
"How much does that mean?"!
Witness replied after succes-!
sive questions that it meant
about $700. Ho coutinued that
tlieso were authorised expenses
and then proceeded to explain
that when Capt. Hey ward came
to Spartanburg in the campaign
Dillingham was called over to
the Americau bank by the
cashier, Mr. Jno. A. Law, who
introduced him to Capt. Hey
ward. They authorized him to
make expenses in Hey ward's be
half and to make check on Mr.
Law for the amount. He gave
the checks and Mr. Law paid
them.

Extract from Col. Mixon*s Toflti
mony
?There was other spicy
stuff in Col: Mixson's evidence.
He testified to having turned
down while dispeusary cotnmis
siouef an attempt at bribe from
Sam Lanaham, at ihat time a
member of the firm of William
Lauaham & Sou and now a di
rector of the Richland distillery.
He swore that I*auaham had of
fered him ?10,000 a ydar to di
vert an account of $400,000 which
had been given to another dis
tiller in Baltimore. Further
more that Setli Scruggs, his
bookkeeper had been offered
$5,0?0 by L?analiam to get Mix
soil to accept the bribe.
KAM LAN All AM IN REPLY.
I never offered Mixson #.'10,000
nor any other amount. The con
versation which he is reported
as testifying to never took place
aud the incident ho speaks of
never happened. It is a fabri

If an individual can be :t mem
ber of the dispensary investiga
tion committee and represent
a manufacturer of beer at the
same time, why could not the
(iovernor be at the head of the
dispensary and represent the
liquor trust at the same time?
The latter would not be any
more inconsistent than the for
mer.?Edgefield Advertiser.
Well reasoned, Bro. Minis.
The one position U evidently as
inconsistent as the other.
If the dispensary continues
much longer, with its debauch
ing and corrupting influence not
only the office of liquor and beer
dispensers will be bought and
sold but every other ottico in the
State from (iovernor down. Ks

as the handwriting of the boy,
he was agreeably surprised to
tind that the card had caugnt, I
aud that Sam was here. For
that matter, Sam was counug
anyhow. He had heard dark
rumors of that tigning business
and wanted to resolve himself
into a committee of Dispensary
Investigation.
Meeting Jake just in .front of
Smilli & Lewis, he said, "Well,

The programme, as outlined,
was carried out with the* result
that both Sam and Jnko became
gloriously drunk along towards
the time for closing the (J. M. I.
Both were out of liquor, but
having signed once, they had to
pick upa stray nigger who hadn't
and seud him for a supply. The
after result, was that both
worthies went to the lookup.
On Monday the mayor slapped a

the price, but Jake being on a
lien, had to get Mass Charlie to
put up for him. They limn
weuded their way homeward,
poorer and sadder, but not wiser

rations that Jake's old woman,

Rock Hill, .Aug.2l.?A great
deal of indignation was express
ed linre this morning when it
was ascertained that between i?0
and 40 dogs had been poisoned
last night. Some of the animals
killed were valuable as pets and
in the field, sonln of them being
registered and others that would
have been registered later. It
has not beeu determined whether
the poison was placed about in
the yards where the dogs could
get it or whether it was placed
at somo one point and was taken
by the animals while rambling
at night.
??A similar case occurred here
several years ago which aroused
equal indignation. Any man
who woulddeliborately set poison
which may kill a line dog, is
