Japan's Reply to the President

Japaa's Reply to the President
Washington, June 16 The follow
ing is the text of the Japanese reply
to President Roosevelt's identic note
to Japan and Russia on the subject
of negotiations for peace:
"The imperial government has
given to the suggestions of the presi-
dent of the United States, embodied
in the note handed to minister for
foreign affairs by the United States
minister on the 9Th instant, very
serious consideration, to which, be-
cause of it's source and it's import,
it is justly entitled. Desiring in the
interest of the world as we'll as in the
interest of Japan, the reestablishment
of peace with Russia on terms that
will fully guarantee it's stability, the
imperial government, will, in response
to the suggestion of the president,
appoint plenipotentiaries Of Japan to
meet the plenipotentiaries of Russia
at such time and place as may be
found to be mutually agreeable and
convenient for the purpose Of negotiat-
ing and concluding terms of peace
directly and exclusively between the
two belligerent powers.

Death Of An Esteemed Friend

Death Of An Esteemed Friend.
We were shocked to learn of the
tragic death of our good old friend,
Capt. J. Dempsey Jones at North,
Orangeburg county, right at home,
on Tuesday, June 18th. We were
we'll acquainted with him and num-
bered him among our warmest
friends. He was we'll known in the
county, being at one time, perhaps,
the largest land owner and tax payer,
and was greatly esteemed by many
of our people for his noble traits OF
character, for his upright walk and
for kindness of heart. The news of
his sad death was great shock to US
as we'll as to his host of friends, and
We can trushfully and honestly say
that we mourn his departure to that
country from whose bourne no travel
or returns, and We will ever respect
and revere his memory as long as
life itself shall endure.

excluding all japanese, whether sail

Congaree Notes.

TO The Editor of toe Dispatch:
In looking over your valuable
paper I never see anything from this
section of the county. I acknowledge
We are few in number and of mot
much stature", but still We live and
move and have our being" just like
some other folks do.
The farmers have had quite fight
with Gen. Green, but after plowing
up some cotton and planting corn
instead, and spending all the money
they could get on the balance, they
are about to win the battle.
There are not many young folks
down this way, consequently things
are dull. I understand Miss Annie
Wolfe ard Miss Mary Geiger have
each an old chum visiting them and
I hope things will liven up some
what.
Miss Ella Moye has gone to Co.
lumbia for the summer, intending TO
take business course.
We've had little serious sickness
down here but am happy to say the
patients are convalescing.
