of the Massachusetts regiments that

Had Eaten the Details.

The editor of q country newspaper
is often his own reportorial staff as
we'll, aud some of his experiences
when out after news would make in
teresting reading. The editor OF q
fourishing journal in northern Cali
fornia town recently called at the
"home Of the brides parents" the
day after the wedding. He was de-
sirous of telling his readers all about
the event and wished to give the
young couple good send off as well.
The brides mother met him.
Good morning. Mrs. JONES'" said
the editor. I've called to get some
of the details of the wedding"
Goodness, - replied Mrs. Jones, in
dismay. They're all gone. You
ought to have come last night. They
ate every scrap."-San Francisco

Bill Arp's Ideal Girl.

Here is Bill Arp's bit OF wisdom
that fits every cline, every race,
every nation and all time: "Once l
was young, but now I am old, and I
never have seen a girl who went back
on her mother who ever came to be
worth one-eyed button to her hus-
band. It is the law of God. It is
not exactly in the Bible, but it is
written large and lawful on the lives
of many misfit homes. If one of you
chaps ever run across a girl with a
face full of roses, who says to you
when you come to the door: I can
not go for thirty minutes, for the
dishes are not wiped you wait for
that girl. Sit right down on the
doorstep and wait for her, because
some other fellow will come along
and marry her of, and then you lose
an angel. Wait for her, and stick to
her like burr on mules tail"

Port Arthur an Inferno.

London, Aug. 3 dispatches from
Chez Foo received today report the
arrival of refugees from Port Arthur
with stories of the situation there.
They describe the place as an inferno
due to the terrible gun fire of the
Japanese. The Japanese attacking
force is said to number more than
100000 mep, and in three days, on
July 26th to 2Sh inclusive, poured
125,000 rounds of sbrapuel into the
belesguered city. The fighting, when
the refugees left, lad been chiefly di.
rected against the remaining outer
defense works. A truce wss declared
on the night of July 20th for the pur-
pose of burying the dead. The jap
anese ave captured all the centre
works except those on Christ Hill.
A Port Arthur newspaper estimated
the Russian loss as 1000 killed and
wounded. and the japanese at II, 600
killed and wounded. When the re-
fugees left the main force of Russian
defenders were inside the permanent
forts constituting the fortress. They
have 1000 guns so place d as 10 sweep
the plain across which the Japanese
must pass to make main assault,
which is expected to occur August Il.

a Republican Out.
Lever Opposed in this District for Con-
qress.

Lever Opposed in this District for Con-
gress.
Both the State and Record have
come out in strong editorials urging
the Democrats to vote in the general
election, the necessity for so doing
bring the announcement of Dsntz'er
for Congress. The Record says:
Urgent request, to the Democratic
voters to register and vote IN the gen.
eral election are being made by Con-
gresham Lever of this district. Mr.
Lever has just received word from
Orangeburg that the Republicans
have again put out an opponent, the
negro DantzIer being the dummy this
time, as before. It is clear case OF
attempting to unseat the Democrat
and il is evident that it is not the
contest money that DAIMLER is after
this time. Everywhere that MIR.
Lever speaks he urges this registra-
ton and voting in the general elec-
ton, and so far the results have been
good.
Mr.. Lever said that from his
knowledge of the working of the ma
iority in Washington. he would say
that they would not hesitate to turn
ont every South Carolina congress
man where there was contest, should
their majority this year be too small
for effective work. For this reason
he wanted to go there with as. large
q vote in the general election as pos
sible. Last time he could only show
I'D a vote of about $500 for the en-
tire district, and he should have
shown up at least 10000 or l2,0oO
votes.
Some time ago Gen. Jones, the
state chairman, issued q circular to
the people warning them to be on
their guard against this very thing,
and it seems that the Republicans in
this state are determined to force the
issue. The registration books for
those not registered will be open only
three times more between now and
the second week in November, being
the fret Monday in each month, and
it is the purpose of several public
spirited citizens of Columbia to take
the matter up with these and urge
them to register. Those that are
already registered will be urged to
turn out on the day of the general
election SO that large vote will be
polled and the district will continue
to be represented by Democrat.

What The c. A. n. Has Done.

70 a symposium in recent issue OF the
Boston Sunday Globe on the subject,
ssWhat Service Has the G.. A. X. Rendered
to the Republic the following was con-
tributed by Geo. W. Flagg OF Braintree, in
behalf of Capt. J. Il. Eldredge, commander
Of the Vermont department.
1.-The q. A. X. has been in existence
nearly 40 years. During that time il has
been ever active for patriotic duty. II has
caused the flag to be hoisted over every
schoolhouse in this broad land. Ii has
caused a day to be set apart to decorate
the graves OF the dead soldiers, and the
citizens OF all classes have followed the ex-
ample OF the G.. A. X. and now decorate
the graves OF their loved ones as never be-
fore. Memorial day services are full Of
patriotic speeches and the singing OF pat
riotic songs. from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, the people of all ages taking part in
the exercises. never to be forgotten.
1.-THE children are reminded of patri )tism
by the presence OF the g. A. X. as each
year rolls around and the members OF the
organization as delegates from the q. A.
X. posts visit the schools.
1.-THE G.. A. II. has had cannons placed IN
nearly sll the parks in this country, keep
ing the people alive to the principles OF
patriotic devotion.
tThrough the help and fostering care of
the q. A. r., a band OF loyal women, the
W. r.. c., have organized and are ever
ready for patriotic duty. They appear on
HOLIDAYS with the stars and stripes waving
in the air, their banners are emblems OF
LOYALTY to the United States, to the @. A.
z. and to their God. They cultivate loyal
ty among themselves, their children and
the people at large. Without the g. A. X.
no such organization would exist.
1As e. ch year rolls az oun 4 some patriotic
city is asked TO welcome the q. A. X. IN a
grand reunion, striving to Guido some
other city, which with outstretched arms
has welcomed the q. A. X. again and again,
thereby bringing to life dormant spirit
OF devotion to the old flag and resolve
that this union of states Will never be dis
solved.
WWithout the GA. r. to refresh the
memory Of the people of this county, they
would be apt TO forget the great sacrifice
this nation suffered that this union should
not be dissolved.
1Again there is another wing to the GA.
r.. the Sons OF Veterans, organized to go
hand in hand with the q. A. X. TO perpet-
uate their memory for generations to
come, to keep alive the love for the old
flag, as the strength of the nation depends
on the love Of its people to defend 1t IN
time OF danger"
