Dispensary Sales.
The sales at the Dispensary in
our town are very small, probably
not more than one-ffth the aggre-
gate sales per diem under the old
bar-room regime, and we haven't
seen anybody on tare since the
first of July, except one man, and
he was on tare because he
couldn't get enough liquor to get
on tare. This is how it stands
in Edgefeld. In Charleston the
Rev. Mr.. Ramsay, of the Citadel
Square Baptist Church, gave the
following figures in a sermon last
Sunday week:
"To show what the law has ac-
conplished in criminal circle, /

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Something About Gubernatorial Candi
dates Bracken, Neal and Mckinley.
Aside from the issues involved, the
Ohio gubernatorial campaign comes at an
opportune time to attract national atten-
ton. Only 10 of the states hold elections
this fall, and of these only five ballot for
new governors-Ohio, Virginia, Massa-
chusetts, Iowa and Wisconsin. These
five will all be closely watched by the
whole country, but the prominence given
to national questions in the Buckeye
fight has tendency to centralize inter
est upon it.
Edward J. Bracken, who is the nomi
nee of the Peoples Party for governor,
is veteran in the ranks of labor agita-
tors. He was formerly president OF the
Columbus Trades assembly and is man
of more than ordinary intellectual force
and intelligence. Recently he has been
the Columbus correspondent for several
journals devoted exclusively to labor's
interests, and in this capacity has assist
ed the passage of many of the bills de-
manded by workingmen.
Lawrence T. Neal, the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, is known the
country over as the author of the tariff
plank in the last Democratic national
platform. He is a lawyer and was city
solicitor of Chillicothe in 1867 and a
member of the legislature in the same
year. In 1870 he was prosecuting at

Wheat, the principal product and
the native coal and clay are well
shown in the exhibit hall. The re-
ception halls are beautifully decorated
with the artistic needleworls, china
and paintings made by the hands of
Dakota's women and after seeing
what can be produced by the state on
their first floor, on the second visitors
will find cool retreat in which to
gain rest and contemplate the mex
haustible resources of the broad
American commonwealth.
But South Dakota, the twin sister,
is not less favored in material re-
sources or in her state building at
jackson park.
Her location on the grounds is with
in few feet of the Fifty-seventh street
entrance on the south side of the ave-
nue., occupying corner lot. The style
is similar to the French Romanesque
architecture with it's round porches
and balconies giving it a peculiar and
home-like appearance.
The building itself is South Dakota
exhibit, built two stories high and
136x70 feet in dimensions. The exteri-
or is coated with Yankton cement fin
ished in imitation of cut stone.
The front steps are made of Portland
cement, found nowhere in the world
except in England and South Dakota.
Mines and mineral, grains and grass
es, fossils, pottery, clays, ETC., have
been given due attention and form a
large display showing the diversified
interests and resources of the state.
Its dairy, sheep and cattle products
have not been neglected.
Those who imagine that no fruits
are grown in South Dakota will be
surprised at the genealogical exhibit.
The educational department is also
very fine. Curious fossils from the
bed of Cheyenne river, immense blocks
of fine coal from her coal fields, and
Photographic views of her varied
scenery make up a grand display for
this young state. The women's de-
partment is equally well filed with
their handiwork and as whole the
building and exhibits therein are very
creditable not SO much for quantity as
in variety and quality, which convey
an impressive idea of undeveloped re-
sources of field and mine.

One of the survivors of the famous
Light Brigade, which made the memora-
BILE charge at Balaklava immortalized by

England. He is tall, broad-shouldered
man, who in spite of 70 years to his
credit, carries himself with military
greatness He wears full gray beard
and mustache, and was attired in loose
fitting suit Of gray tweed.

a sergeant major in the brigade OF the
Earl of Cardigan. The charge was made
during battle between the Russians
and English and their allies on October
rs. 1854. The charge was made in COM
pliance with mistaken order given by
Lord Lucan to capture battery OF Rus
sian guns under terrific cross-fire from
other Russian batteries. Out of 600 men
who charged less than $50 survived. L

Mr.. Holroyd was warm in his expressions
Of admiration for this country, an espec-
tally Philadelphia.
Besides the battle of Balaklava Mr..
Holroyd was at the battles of Inkerman
and Alma during the same campaign; To
the wounds and usual privations OF war
Mr.. Holroyd says were added hunger,
thirst and cold, caused by the delay of
provision ships through blunders OF the
government, causing great suffering and
no small loss of life.

Holroyd was decorated:is a.plain gold one

Ball river, a sparkling. pure water
stream which empties into the muddy
waters of the Missouri. Just before
the battle cry was sounded, a shower of
these powders came from heaven and
killed off many of the Sioux warriors,
and the survivors fed and left the
Crows in possession of the coveted ter
ritory.
This valley is looked upon by the
Indians as sacred ground. The cannon
balls are unstratifed clay formations
of the glacial or drift epoch. The
Cannon Ball valley contains thou
sands of them. Many have been hauled
away to ornament the lawns OF west
