LIVELY RACE LIKELY FOR CHARLES
TONS FATTEST OFFICE.

Charleston, May 80. Mr..
John P. Grace filed his pledge and
paid his assessment of $500 today,
entering the race for sheriff. Capt
j. Gilmore Martin, the incumbent,
has also fled his pledge and is a
candidate for reelection, and there
is likelihood of another candidate
coming out in few days. The
Office pays about $4,000 and Is,
therefore, we'll worth competing
for.
The campaign bids fair to be 6
very lively and possibly bitter one
as far as this Office is concerned.

St. Petersburg. July 20.-AH advices

that the japanese are pursuing their
favorite thanking tactics, working
around to the northeast as if to threat

and Lao Yang or to make a direct at
tack on the latter place
General Kuropatkin. having devel-
oped the great strength of the japanese
at Mo Tien pass by Lieutenant General
Count Keller's attack on July i. re-
ports this evening that a considerable
column Of Japanese is advancing along
the northern Saimatsze-LiaO Yang
road. This column came into touch
with General Rennenkampff's cavalry
near Sekheyan Monday last. The Rus
SLAMS fell back before the advancing
column Monday and Tuesday. some
thirteen miles to HOutsiatze, twenty
miles as the crow flies from Lao Yang.
General Kuropatkin gives no particu-
lars as to the character of the fighting.
The bulk of the armies are now with
in striking distance and only a single
days march separates them
The great importance Of the appear
ance of the japanese on the northern
road is that If the advance should be
pushed General KelleTs position in the
Lao valley would be outfianked. as
would later on the strong Russian DO
sition at Liandsiansian, which COM
mands the Feng Wang Chen Hi road
and two minor roads from Simoucheng
and Siuyen over which the japanese
would advance TO the north.
Once outflanked here. the road to Lao
Yang would be open.
On the other hand. an advance be
yond HOutsiatze would give General
Keller an opportunity by an energetic
movement to strike this column in the
rear.
From a strategic point of view the
situation is intensely interesting and
seemingly increases the probabilities of
a general engagement soon.
