Only FIfrht Beported From the Recent

Columbia, August 27.-The *nly dis
order during the ejection in this

bad man, assaulted J. B. Peulahd, a
grocer in the city, who had driven
ont to a suburban box with some can
didates to see how the returns wer?
going.
Peuland's noao was broken. His
statement la that he was talking with
some gentlemen when Waites came
up and after some casual conversation
Inquired: \
"Are you a Bleasite?" and I an
swered, 'I haven't said what I am.
Then he said, 'Over there ls the city
line and I ? advise you to get back
across it.' I smiled and said,.'I dont
see why I can't stay out here as long
aa I like.' He made PO answer? but
hit ino" one the nose, knocking mo
down, and he struck me while I waa
on the ground." '

POR CONGRESS
Il lina boen tt matter, of doubt as
to whether or ?ot Congressman Aiken
had been returned In tho first primary
or would have to run over. The of
flrinl wt urna ???nw tfc"t Mr. AikfS l
short of a majority by Just 321 votes.
The Intelligencer stated yesterday
that Mr. Aiken had motv than enough
to go in on tue first ballot, but tt ap
J?. u?c? hiLvr that there had been an
error In the count and Instead of Mr.
Aiken having 3.808 vote* In Anderson,
'AO had but 8.216. The reported vote
for Dominick in Abbeville was much
smaller thau the,official vate:

?RLD'S HISTORY
V IN PROGRESS
Two Hundred and Fifty Miles of Battle front Be
tween Millions of Men of Determination and
Unquestionable Courage, Armed With Deadly
j Weapons and Intent Purpose; When A?i3p?
Over Wilt Have Caused To Be Added to th?
Already Long List of Great Battles, the Blood
iest Page in the World's History.
---
The French and British armies cn a battle line 25o miles across
still are strenously opposing the advance of the German forces across "
trie French frontier. The British troops are reported to be qCCutfrNig
a strong position and are supported by the French on both flanks. .
While the Germans have occupied the French cities of Lille,
Valenciennes and Roubaix, the official report from the war office de*
j scribed hopefully, from the viewpoint of the allies, operations to the
I east. Apparently the French troops, in the Vosges district have re
sumed the offensive and have forced the German; to retire on the
St. Die side.
former ambassador at Berlin, Sir Willian Edward Goschen, in
an official report published by the government in the form of a white
paper, tells in an interesting way of his interviews with the German
minister for foreign affairs, Herr von Jagow and f|c Imperial Ger
man Chanc*ii?>r, L>. von Bethmann-Hollweg, at the time o^ the Brit
ish ultimatum, demanding that Germany should cease violation of
Belgian neutrality. According to the official report Herr von Jagow ?
deplored the step which Great Britain was about tc take as he saw
the end of his policy and that of the imperial chancellor, which had
been tc make friends with Great Britain and then through Great
Britain get closer to France.
Similarly the imperial chancellor was taken back. He declared
Great Britain's action was "terrible to a degree" and declared that
his policy, by this step, "was tumbled down like a house of cards."
He. held Great Britain responsible for all the terrible events that might
happen and asked if the British government had thought at what price
the compact to defend Belgium's neutrality would be kept.
The French commander-in chief, General Joffre, in a communi
cation tc Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British
forces, pays high tribute to valor of thei?ritsh anny, which, he says,
"did not hesitate, but threw its whole strength against forcea of neat
numerical superiority."
lt is reporte 1 that British marines h?ve occupied Ostend to pre
1 vent the Germans from getting ?t foothold on the English channel.
1 The German steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse has been sunk by a
British cruiser off the west coast of Africa.
The situation between Japan and Austria is described in Tokio
as "a rupture of diplomatic relations, not war."
