Usual Contests Filed.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-March "a
is the day fixed for hearing the con-
tests filed for the seats of Messrs.
Legare, Patterson and Lever by the
three negroes, who claim to have
been elected to congress. Aaron P.
Prioleau, who has been figuring some
in the prints Of late, and who once
figured in Jail for robbing the mails,
is contesting the seat of Legare.
Isaac Myers, from somewhere about
Aiken, is contesting the seat of Pat
terson, while A. D. Dantzler contests
Levers seat. All three Of these ne
groeshave contested before, and. find
ing it profitable, have done it again.
They each get $4,000 allowed by con-
gress to any one who files a contest.
The wonder is that there are not a
dozen negroes every time instead of
one in each district. All they have to
do is to get up and run, then file a
notice that they were rightfully elect
ed and cheated out of it. It is not
necessary to get any votes at all. The
election committee of the house,
which will hear the contestants, will
have some fun out of the negroes
who appear before them and then
vote unanimously to throw their
cases away as being without any JUS
tifcation.

Opera Coming Soon.

Social interest in this city at the
present time seems to be centered in
the forthcoming visit of the noted
Beggar Prince Comic Opera Co.. who
will on Friday evening, March 13, at
the opera house present the most
successful comic opera Of a decade,
Fra Diavolo," and without a doubt
it will prove to be the most enjoyable
eventof the present theatrical season.
The opera, ERA Diavolo," contains
twenty popular song hits and the in:
terpreting company is one of unusual
strength and excellence, containing
players all very well known in the
comic opera world. The opera is put
on in gorgeous manner, and the
chorus of pretty girls who have been
attracting considerable attention by
their beauty and excellent voices, are
given ample opportunity to display
their. ability. Owing to the nature
of the offering we would suggest that
patrons make an effort to secure their
seats in advance at usual place. No
advances in prices.

Many rheumatic attacks are due to

Letter to J. A. Byrd, Bambers, S. c.

Dear Sir: How did you get your busi-
ness? we'll tell you how we got ours.
You sell shoes, we make paint; perhaps
we can do good turn to ourselves, you
and we, by swapping experiences.
We began 152 years ago in little
shop a few-minutes walk from where
we are now; a great many things have
happened, we don't remember them all:
We made as good paint as we could and
learned to make better. We are the
Oldest now; we don't know whether we
had any teacher or not; it's so long ago;
if we had, he's gone and forgotten. We
should have been forgotten, if we hadn't
made good paint and friends.
You buy your shoes; you have an
advantage in that; if you make mis-
take, you can stop it quick; if you make
a hit. YOU can push it quick. We've had
to 20 slow; it's hard to pick-out ones
own mistakes, and nothing but fun to
correct the mistakes of others.
You know where to 60 for leather that
keeps it's shape, feels good, looks new,
and wears a long time. What COM
fort it is to be comfortable from making
ones customers comfortable!
We also have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like it. We make a
strong paint that takes less gallons,
saves half the cost of painting your
house, and it's like that leather Of yours
for wear. It is all paint and the strong
est of paint. Paint is usually adulter-
ated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young
paint! one gallon is better than two, If
it has the stuff in it.
Yours truly
2 F. w. DEVOE & CO..,
New York.

Feared for Negro's Life.

LAURENs. March 6.-As a matter
of precaution Sheriff Duckett is to-
night on his way to the State peniten-
tiary with a negro prisoner, Fred Eld-
redge, who was lodged in Jail here
charged with criminally assaultlng
the 7-year-old. daughter of Mr.. Mac
Gambrell, of Princeton. The child is
reported to be in a serious condition
and much excitement prevails in the
Princeton section. When the matter
became known efforts were made by
large parties of citizens to run the al,
legged rapist down, but were thwarted
by the prompt action of Constable
Elledge, who arrested and brought
the negro to Jail, thus for the time
saving the boys neck. Late this at
ternoon, however, rumors reached
the sheriff that a crowd was being
organized to made a raid on the jail
tonight, hence the prisoners remov-
al.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Several Murder Cases Tried and De-
fendants Acquitted.

fendants Acquitted.
When The Herald went to press
last Wednesday afternoon the case of
Charlie Morris, charged with the
murder of his cousin, Levy Morris,
was being tried. The testimony de-
veloped that there was considerable
drinking going on when the killing
occurred, and that there was no bad
blood between the parties. The jury
remained in the room all night Wed
nesday night, and Thursday morning
rendered a verdict Of not guilty as
to murder but guilty as to carrying a
concealed weapon. He was fined
S100 or thirty days on the chain gang.
The fine was paid and he was releas-
ed from custody.
Thursday morning the case against
Joe. J. England, charged with the
murder of W. H. Garner, was taken
up. This case was bitterly contest
ed from start to finish and number
of witnesses were examined both for
the prosecution and defense. The
trial consumed all of Thursday and
Friday, the jury retiring about eight
o'clock Friday night. They remain
ed in the room only a short time and
returned a verdict of not guilty. No
new testimony was developed, the
stories of the witnesses being practi-
cally what has already been publish
ed in these columns.
In the Gutekunst case the solicitor
was assisted by Jno. R. Bellinger,
ESQ.,, while the defense was conduct
ed by J. F. Carter and H. M. Gra-
ham, Esqs.
Mayfeld & LaFitte conducted the
defense in the Morris case.
In the England case, Jno. R. BEL
linger, Esq, assisted in the prosecu.
ton, while Mayfeld & LaFitte and
J. F. Carter, Esqs., conducted the
defense.
The solicitor has mol pressed the
case against J. G. Gutekunst for
traficing in seed cotton, and the case
will not come to trial again. On the
first trial the jury stood eleven to one
for conviction, and at the trial last
week they stood ten to 2 for acquit-
tai. This is our information, but we
cannot vouch for its correctness.
The first week jurors were dis
charged last Friday night, and on
Saturday court was in session only a
part Of the day, the only business
transacted being the taking of orders,
etc.
Monday morning the trial of civil
cases was begun, and the following
have been disposed of up to the time
we went to press Wednesday:
Branchville Pole. Tie & Timber Co.
VS.. w. H. Harvelly. Verdict fof

months ago by Preston Brown, has
been on the streets during the past
week, although he is still very weak.
He desires through The Heraldto ex-
tend his thanks to all his white friends
who were so kind to him during his
illness. Especially is he grateful to
DIR. J. J. Cleckley, Revs. A. J. Foster,
and S. w. Danner, and others whom
he may have mentioned but whose
names we do not remember.
