Lake City. August 20:?Two of the candidates for Congress. Hodges and Ellerbe.engsged in a fist fight at the meeting held here today and several blows passed before the combatants were separated. Ellerbe use.l the J word liar, and Mr Hodges resented it by landing a stiff blow on the face. Ellerbe was game and they went at it nip and tuck until separated by ; * bystanders. ? * ? > i l v... tJlerDe ckusea nis speecn u,y ia.fc.iu* i A !> from his pocket a slip of paper and reading therefrom the following: "Whoever says that I was the author of or wrote or dictated or had print-1 ed the circular against Mr Hodges referred to h\ his speech is an infamous liar." As he commenced to read Hodges | came out from the crowd and stood j afhis left side, paying close attea-; tfion, and when Ellerbe had finished, asked him if he meant to say that he, j ^^Hodges, was a liar. Whereupon Ei- j *"^^erbe repeated his statement and i Hodges promptly struck him a blow j in the face. Ellerbe went right at t him ami spvprfl] blows had been passed before they could be parted ! amid shouts of "Hurrah for Eller- i be! Hurrah for Hodges!" The meeting then closed without' further incident other than that El-' lerbe explained that Rogers. Senator i from Marlboro, had stated that he was the author of and had printed ' the paper ag linst Hodges and had j assumed all *esi*visibility therefor, J and that he. E ierbe. had onlv circu; lated about ">*> copies ot tnis circular; in his district. The four aspiiants for Congress-, ional honors from the Sixth district, Hodges. Seiit-i's. Rrown and Elierbe, spoke in the order named and were allowed d?? minutes each by Chairman A H Williams. Hodges and Sellers pitched into El'erbe's record; and criticised severely his demeanor while in Congress, branding him as a Republican, a: least in principle. i Hodges fixed or. Eller!>e there-, sponsibiiity f r the K??gers circulars' that had been circulated against him k i i two years act' <>n the eve ot the election, and said that he had at least fr ' dictated that letter. Sellers' tak was rather "n thehu-! r I morous order throughout, and while, talking he seemed to have the crowd pretty well with him. Brown made a very plain and pointed speech and gave a clear-cut statement of his views on the impo?j;tnt issues, and referred only in the latter part of his talkto Ellerbe's' record as t<> his vote to place a taritf on lumber. He said that for a long time he had not said one word , against Ellerbe or his record and - M not until Ellerbe had been given an opportunity to defend his posi-j tion in voting as he had on the lumber matter.but Ellerbe had failed to i explain it satisfastorily to his mind.'

He said he could not but be proud of his achievements during his six years in Congress. He had saved enough to the citizens of his district in having the tariff on potash reduced to al- f most pay his salary in Congress for the next thousand years.

On the same day 1 read a letter in The Record from a cotton buyer in Kingstree, and one in the News. and Courier from David R Coker, Hartsville, urging farmers not to put but six yards, anu assuring them of a reduction in price of such cotton as has more than six yards. Europe uses two-thirds of our cot"' ton, and in fixing the price an allowance of six per cent, or thirty pounds jvr hale is made for tare.' Our Legislature last war passed a bill allowing six per cent. tare. Now the question is what are ?the farmers going to do about it? Six yards of bagging and the usual six ties weigh twenty-two ixmnds. Eight additional pounds of bagging would cost thirty cents, and would sell on the cotton for It is said that the exporters add old bagging at the compresses sutlicient to make the thirty jvounds tare allowed in Euroj>e. From such information as I have the cotton grower is entitled to such profit as he can get out of the full, six iK-r cnt. tare, and 1 venture t?? say that if prompt, concerted action : is taken by a considerable number j of our farmers there will be n-> re- i duction in price of such c??tt n as: has the full thirty pounds Tare. i What say you. brother cotton gr< nver?
