General Sakharoff today reports a minor Russian success during last night. Tbe contending forces in the fight were not large. The Japanese after a fight were driven from the town of Erthaitzi. London, Nov. 12.- The possibility of immediate peace in the far East, which has been reported in all parts of the world, is not optimistically receiv? ed in diplomatic circles. It is consid? ered unlikely that either of the bel? ligerents is d?sirions of quitting the conflict. This is thought to be espec? ially true in the case of the Japanese, who are naturally anxious to secure Port Arthur before considering peace. It would cause great surprise in offi? cial circles if an offer of mediation should be accepted before the end of the winter, when it is expected the re? lative gains and losses of each will be clearly defined and a good basis for a peace settlement would be obtainable. On the ocher hand, as diplomats pointed out to your corespondent this morning, there is always the possibil tyi of unexpected happenings. Home, Nov. 12.-A telegram from Crete states that a battleship, two cruisers and several torpedo boats of the Baltic fleet have but in there in need of repairs. This will probably further delay the departure of the fleet. The telegram adds that offi? cers of the fleet state that they have been informed that the Japanese have arranged to attack the fleet in the Red Sea. BLOW A? THE RUM MACHINE. Cherokee Couted the Cost Before She Struck. Colombia, Nev. 10.-The voters of Cherokee County, when they voted the dispensary ont, were fully advised of the mopey cost and what jnoney they would have to raise by taxation to meet the money lesses. In the settle I ment just had the ?county received $10,658.41 in profits. Of this amount $5,11917 went to the cities and an equal amount to the county, and there is a balance unexpended amounting to $420. In addition to this Cherokee County has received during the year $3,170 92 from the dispensary funds for school purposes, and it will get its share of the undivided fund in the State treasury. ?he levy for ordinary county pur? poses in Cherokee County is the low? est in the State,one mill, and this will have to be at least duobled, it is figured by Comptroller . General Jones, to meet the losses from the dis? pensary payments. The people of Cherokee, however, have figured that for every dollar they get through the dispensary they spend ten dollars with the dispensary, and that with the dispensaries closed there will be but little money spent for liquor, and that the difference that will be saved will result in a great net economy to the county. There is a clause in the Brice bill the " cracker7 that was put no it by the dispensary advocates which says that any county voting out dispensa? ries shall not participate in the sur? plus from the dispensary profits go? ing to the schools. The statute allows the deficiency fund, that is fully cov? ered by the constitution, to be paid, bat states that, after the deficiency is made ap, the surplus fund shall not be divided among counties that have voted dispensaries out. Tfcere are some people, however, who hold that under the provisions of the Constitution the non-dispensary coanties cannot be deprived of this surplus, and there is likely to be an issue made on this point in tho courts. At all events it is claimed that Chero? kee County cannot be kept out of the profits that have been accumulated for the schools while Cherokee County .had its dispensaries and ' much of which is still unpaid to the schools, and is largely represented by stock in the State and county dispensaries. The vote in Cherokee County-five to ,one-against the dispensary bas proven an utter surprise to people here who are interested in the dispen? sary situation. The advocates and frieuds of the system are very much worried by this marked verdict of the voters of Cherokee, and dc not quite understand what it may lend to. The action in Cherokee may lead to a State contest and utterly shatter the hopes o? the advocates of prohibition. County action is the strong card for the prohibitionists to play for a good while yet. Gaffney, Nov. S.-In Cherokee the first (:lecton under the Brice law has resulted in nu overwhelming defeat for the dispensary. By a vote of six to one the county has voted to close the dispensaries. Fourteen out of 2i boxes reported give dispensary l???aud no dispensary 1,032. In this county Senator Tillman j made a speech urging the dispensary's retention. --mum?- . ? -tam A Heavy Load.

Another Feud Has Broken Out in Fayette County-Jackson Clan Kill Two Officers. Huntington, W. Va., Nov. ll. What promises to be one of the hard? est fought battles in the history of fend -ridden Fayette county is imminent in the mountains south of Montgom? ery, where an armed posse of two hnndred men are believed to have sur? rounded Harvey Jackson and two brothers, who are wanted for the mur? der of Sheriff Daniels, and John Kol? on Thursday.

Two Constables Kill Each Other Near Eastover in a Drunken Fight Over an Overcoat. Columbia, Nov. 9.-News was re? ceived here tonight of a double kill? ing at Eastover, in the lower part of this country, the participants being Dispensary Constables R. L. Irby and S. A. Phillips. According to the re? port received here rhe two men quar? relled over an overcoat and both pro? duced pistolls, firing together. Phil? lips was instantly killed and Irby liv? ed for about an hour. Both were be? lieved to be under the inflnence of whiskey. As soon as Chief Constable Hammet heard of the killing he notified Coro? ner Green, who directed that the bod? ies be taken charge of by Magistrate Wertz, who lives in the neighbor? hood. The men had gone down to Eastover on their regular round of inspection of the district, and their quarrel was purely a personal one, in which the dispensary played no part. The tragic part or the whole matter is that"Su A. Phillis came from East? on and was killed within a few rods of tho home where he was born, and dies leaving a wife and two children. He balbeen on the force about eigh? teen months and was appointed by the Governor after being highly recom ! mended by leading citizens of Rich? land County. R.'L. Irby wa3 from Laurens county and was a nephew of the late Senator Irby. He had bean on the constabul? ary force about seven years. Chief Hammet said tonight that he was one of the best dispensary constables in the State, and the best in this dis? trict. He was married and leaves a wife and one child. Chief Hammet regrets the tragedy very much, and said tonight that if the men were drinking it was in direct violation of the orders issued the force. WILL BAISE KEE CATTLE.

H.-At the regular monthly meeting of the board of re? gents of the State Hospital for the In? sane yesterday it was decided to raise for consnmption as many beef cattle and hogs as is consistent with the needs of the institution.

Indigestion Causes Cat arr H of tKe Stomach* For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re? peated attacks of indigestion inflames th? mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus? ing the glands to secrete muc?n ir?;?ad of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
