Hon. A. D. Dantzler, one of OIL
leading farmers and at one time the
largest negro landowner in Orangea
burg coui ~, was in the city a., few
days ago al. reported most thrillt
ing expefriA,ce which he and his
son, Dr.. jhehuel, had with his stock
bull. The bull, for some cause,
possibly best known to bullology,
became erraged and With
out notice undertook to put Mr.!
Dantzler out of commission. How
well the bull succeeded will be told
further oh. However, you'll res
member Mr.. A. D. Dantzler as hav7
ing several times rtn for Congress
from the seventh Congressional
District and was defeated as many
times as he ran, but not until afteI
he had made his contests. Now, iri
this bull contest Mr.. ,DantzleE
seemed to have been wholly unpres
pared and as a result soon found
on the ground, having beert
knocked, down by the infuriated
animal, which proceeded to paw and

Kfs SUI,
from this you will see that Mr..
Dantzler was not the aggressor, but
vas simply acting in self-defense,
because he did jump the fence,
eaving the situation with his son,
DR.. Lemuel, who has had no expert
ence i'll congressional contests and
very little in fighting an enraged
pull. Thus DR.. Lemuel soon found
himself on the ground with the bull
II charge, having no respect what
ever for pharmaceutical ability.
The doctor is now compelled to cali
lpon his rescued father to return
he kindness and the same is grant
,d, whereby father and son are
masters of the situation and except
or few scratches and lacerated
clothes they are Dantzlers just the
same. Now, Esquire Moorer has
heretofore had chragc of Mr..
0antzler's congressional contests,
md whether he has been consulted
'r retained in this case is among
ny unknown quantities. However,
lfter the fight Mr.. Dantzler held al
short consultation with his son, wl1oi
