The remarkable success of the

wonderful merit contained IN their

that this company knows that homes

its way and surmount all difficulties,
and their record here and elsewhere
has proven it. Globe Tonic is posi-
tive cure for indigestion, constipa-
ton malaria, sick-headache and all

LETTER CAUSES TROUBLE.
Mr.. Frank DeMars Strikes Rev. E.
Nj. Lghtfoot With Whip.

Mr.. Frank DeMars accosted Rev.
E. NJ. Lightfoot while they were
both on train on the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway on Tuesday afternoon
and struck him twice with light
whip The trouble took place in
la Pullman car, on which Rev. Mr..
Lightfoot was riding on his way
North, and caused some excitement
among the other passengers. The
assault was made between this city
and Cameron while the train was
speeding on.
Mr.. DeMars says he approached
Mr.. Lightfoot to ask him about a
certain letter that Mr.. Lightfoot
wrote to Rev. ]. H. Sanford, in which
he had accused Mr.. DeMars of put
ting coffin on his piazza about a
year ago. He says Mr.. Lightfoot
said he declined to discuss the mat
ter with him. Then Mr.. DeMars drew
his whip and struck. Mr.. Lightfoot
two blows, one across the face and
the other across the shoulder. He
says Mr.. Lightfoot arose after being
struck the first blow and received
the second blow standing. Mt.
Lightfoot did not resent the blows,
but said he would settle with Mr..
DeMars when he came back to Or
angeburg. This is Mr.. DeMars ver-
sion of the difficulty. The letter that
caused the trouble was written some
time ago by Rev. Mr.. Lightfoot to
Rev. Mr.. Sandford in reference to
the race for sheriff, in which he took
strong ground against Mr.. Salley. 1t
will be remembered that both Sheriff
Dukes and Mr. w. Hampton Dukes
repudiated the letter in cards pub
lished in The Times and Democrat
last week. Mr. Lightfoot's letter was
also very severe on Mr.. DeMars, and
that is the reason he assigns for at
tacking Mr.. Lightfoot as he did. Af-
ter the trouble Mr.. Lightfoot con-
tinued on his journey. DR.. and Mrs.
w. r. Lowman were also on the train
and seated in the next seat to Mr..
| Lightfoot when he was struck by Mr..
DeMars. The matter caused consld-
cradle ak in the city Tuesday night.

The race for Sheriff Is very close
and it may take the official count to
settle it. The 2S boxes heard from
give Salley-a majority of only SO
votes. There are fourteen boxes yet
to be heard from and some of Salley's
friends claim that ehas majority
in them and that he will be elected
by about 200 majority. Sheriff
Dukes friends does not concede this
claim, and think that the boxes to
be heard from will re-e1ect the old
Sheriff So we will have to wait for
the full returns.
John S. Eowman, Jr., has been
nominated for the House. and the
boxes to be heard from will likely
elect A. j. Hydrjvk, Jr.. and B. A.
Shuier. ORiley and Horger may
have to run over for the fourth place.
There will be second race for
School Commissioner between Liv-
ingston and Houser.
Grambling and Kennerfey are
elected cotton weighers for the city
of Orangeburg.
There will be a record race for
Supervisor between Edwins and Fell
der or Edwins and Owens.
The above is the way it looks to
us, but the boxes yet to be heard
from may change things considerably.

OBJECTS TO

M. H. Jewell Tells How the Law Could be Remedied-
Many Faulty Features of the New Law
Should Be Changed

Bismarck, N. D. With reference
to the Objectionable features Of the
primary election law as tested by the
primaries, M. H. Jewell, secretary of
the state republican committee, says:
"The objections to the primary elec-
tion law are its cumbersomeness and
expense; the opportunity of the min
ority party to participate in the selec-
ton of candidates for the majority;
the tendency to disintegrate and de-
stroy party organizations; the impos-
sibility of necessarily expensive cam
paigning by a candidate Of moderate
means and the natural advantages OF
the candidate Of greater wealth;
the difficulty of getting accurate in
formation with regard to individual
candidates from one section Of the
state in another; the difficulties OF
marking the ballot and the number
less errors; the failure TO the voters
to cast complete ballot as indicated
by the spread OF 10000 votes between
candidates at the head and foot Of the

Kenmare Law Breaker
Caught In Act
Man Who Slaughtered Ducks Out Of Season Caught In
A Clever Manner---Birds Secured-.Game War
den Smith Is Travelling in Ward County

State Game Warden Smith Was in
the city Friday and he will spend
the next few weeks in the northwest
ern part of the state with his depu-
ties trying to land some Of the offend
ers of the law who are not satisfied
to let the young ducks grow little
larger, and little longer.
He made a nice catch at Kenmare
and secured the evidence, two large
ducks, which the offender shot Thurs
dav afternoon. The ducks were
found at a house of i'll fame near
Kenunare where the offender, mar
ried man, left them, after purchasing
bottle of beer. A search warrant
was gotten out and the place was
searched and the lady of the house
gave a sworn statement to the effect
that the man had presented her with
the ducks. An arrest will soon tol'
low, if it has not already been made
and an example will be made of this
fellow. He was arrested last year for
the same offense and fined $35. This
time, no doubt, he will get the limit

The game warden informs the Inde-
pendent that there is not much ille-
gal shooting in this vicinity, but he
intends to see that all of it is stopped.
There are a few pikers who are
shooting chickens on the sly, but not
many.
A report was received in this city
to the effect that the Greek Iaborers
on the G. N. West of here were
slaughtering the young ducks and
special wardens have been placed a.
long the line west.
MIR. Smith has arrested number
of offenders, some of whom live IN
McHenry county. He drove out IN
the fields of that county the other
day and caught a Russian farmer
shooting at prairie chickens while his
wife moved hay. The farmer had
rope 100 feet long tied to his dog
which attempted to flush the chick
ems. The warden drove UP behind
some hills and saw the fellow shoot
three times at the chickens, but ow-
ing to his poor craftsmanship he did
not kill any. This IS all that saved
him from arrest.
