TWICE A WEEK, %1M A TEAS. iheTolitTcians meet AT FILBERT IN YORK I>LEASE SAYS HE IS HANDS OFF IN GOYEltfOK'S K.Ufc. 3IcLaurin, Kemfoert, Richard, C. A. Smith and 31. L. Smith Among (iuberiiatorial Candidates. Filbert, August 1.?The annual Fil~ bert picnic today, which was attended by fully 7,500 people, was a big success. The meeting was featured by rno Ho^iaratinn nf fi-overnor Blease that he is ''hands off" in the gubernatorial race; an attack on the State senate by Representative Geo. R. Rembert and his charge that Tillman "deserted" when he made his famous address to the people last summer, in which he repudiated Governor Blease; a slap at the State senate by Railroad Commissioner Richards for failure to pass the flat two-cent mileage bill, and an ovation given the governor. The crowd .present was, representative not only of York, but of adjoining counties and some came from North Carolina. In spite of the intense heat the great company of men and women listened patiently while the candi- ; dates for governor held their preliminary skirmish. The absence of United States Senator E. D. Smith was regretted. Hp sent a letter to the chairman stating that important measures, the tariff and currency legislation, held him in Washington. Letters of regret were also read from R. I. Manning, of Sumter, and John G. Clikscales, of Spartanburg, both of whom are candidates for governor and who were among those invited. Each j of the speakers was given the best of attention and accorded a complimentary reception. Blease is *Hands Off." Governor Blease appeared to be the favorite. His speech came last in the afternoon, a threatening rain storm cutting it short. He told the crowd that he was "hands off" in the race for governor. He stated that he did not think John L. McLaurin had been treated right in politics in the State, that George R. Rembert al - ? - ^ . I . ways naa Deen ana sun is ms uieuu, that John G. Richards had been absolutely so in last summer's campaign; that C. A. Smith was, too, and the people ought to treat him right; that the record of M. L. Smith was shown in tie legislature journals; complimented Charles Carroll Sims, of Barnwell, and declared he was hands off in the gubernatorial race. The governor told the people that if "his successor was not one who would carry out the policies of the people that from the time of the primary until he gave up office to take his seat in the United States senate, "he would turn them loose so fast that there would be devilish few left," referring to the matter of granting pardons. All of these statements brought yells from the crowd. rnnoTMsmAn FfnlAV Sneaks. The meeting was held In the grove at Filihert and was under the auspices of the local camp, Woodmen of tie World. County Supervisor John E. Carroll, presiding. The band from Tirzah furnished music. It was 11 o'clock when Chairman Carroll called the meeting to order and introduced State Senator J. E. Beamguard, fw&o made tne aaaress 01 w^tuuic. He was followed by Congressman D. E. Finley, who made a short talk on national issues, predicting great good to the people from the passage of the tariff bill. Mr. Finley said he believed currency lgislation would go N through. He lauded the democratic party and rapped republican senators for trying to call down Postmaster General Burleson in carrying out the ^extension in the parcel post. McLaurin Leads Off. Senator John L. McLaurin led off the gubernatorial speakers, talking f for the greater part on his cotton warehouse scheme. He rapped what lie said is the present method of referring to any public office-holder or seeker as a politician in a sneerinr manner and defined the true meaning of the term, saying that from the present use of this term "there are no statesman except dead politicians." He referred to political policies of 20 years a4go and of the leaders as ft men with great vision and claimed F that politics of the present democratic administration were but embodying many of those ideas which he lauded. The senators gave a full exposition of his views of State-owned and operated warehouses for agricultural products. In the course of his remarks he referred with approval to an L edition in the News and Courier on the subject of the proposed tax on contracts for future delivery, saving, if it was paid, it would come out of the cotton grower, as every expense, from gin house to the factory, was deducted from the price paid the planter. The way to do, ne saia, was to give cotton a stable price like the coffee growers of Brazil get, then there would be no bulls and bears, and the exchanges would serve their legitimate purpose as the coffee exchanges were now doing all over the world. If you get a doctor, he said, who can't diagnose the case, he is apt to give you the wrong medicine and kill you. Renibert Appears Confident. ? * ^ t-* ^ Representative ueorge rv. xvemue.n announced that he was going to succeed Cole. L. Blease as governor of South Carolina. He attacked the newspapers bitterly; denounced the corporations, especially the Southern Power company; charged the State senate witia killing his water-power tax bill by listening to corporation lawvers; retiterated 'his intention of reintroducing it and his newspaper bill; charged the corporations with being great tax dodgers: sad the senate was not serving the people. He declare! anfw his fr t for Governor Blease, but said he did not ask for his endorsement in,his race for governor for two reasons. First, because the governor had his own fight to make for the senate, and second, because he wanted the office on his own merits. He denounced tne attempt which he said is being made to bring about a break between him and the governor; ridiculed any "peace and unity" candidates, and, said he, gloried in being a factional fighter. .Mr. Rembert declared that the Southern, Power Company had tried to threaten Senator Hough, of Kershaw, by saying if the bill was passed they would not develop a certain water-power site near his county. He said he was going to introduce a recnlntinn in the next lezislature. ffiv ing them one year to develop this site or revoke all their charters and rights to every site in the State. He rapped the investigation into the primary last summer and declared his intentions of introducing a bill to make it a penalty of one year imprisonment and a fine of $500 to try and buy a voter, half of the fine to go to the informer, declaring this would get the rich man, whom he charged with being guilty of most of such offenses. Richards on Mileage Fierlit. After an intermission of one hour for dinner. Railroad Commissioner John G. Richards, Jr., announced his candidacy for governor. He discussed the mileage fight; told of his efforts for a flat 2-cent passenger rate, the work of the railroad commission in Piving lower freight and exnress rates than ever before and of his indignation when he discovered a negro man on a rnuman car ai nous mu, and of his efforts to get the federal authorities to put a stop to this. Hr mentioned that he introduced a bill calling for separate Pullman coaches for the races when in the legislature some ten years ago but said the railroad lawyers convinced the committee this was a matter of interstate regu!ation and it was killed.

The senator answered with oldj time warmth, and then gave the correspondence to the press. The letters are as follows: "Brooklyn, X. Y., Aug. 1, 1913. "The Hon. B. R. Tillinan?De?r Sir: If you would only get some information, as to t'ae condition of the money markets of the world, which almost iiiiv nffipo hrtv in ??nv hankircr hnnsP in Washington can give you, you vvould never make the remarks you are credited as having made against the banks of New York city. It only hurts the Democratic party and makes the average voter ashamed to see those in the senate so little informed.

Tillman's Reply. "Charles Hart, Esq., 90S Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, X. Y.?My Dear Sir: I have your letter of August 1, and I am really surprised that you should he so insolent to a stranger. I am not the crass ignoramus you think me to be. You New Yorkers are the most egotistical asses I have ever seen or heard of. You think the sun, moon and stars revolve around New York and you alone are entitled to any consideration. You forget that the farmers of the United States grow the great crops which have produced the commerce which makes New York the imperial city it is. You also know, you can nna out 11 you uo liu ivultw, that the Republican party, ever since the war, has systematically robbed the people to enrich the favored classes; and that New York city itself through Wall street manipulations and favoritism to national banks has grown fat and wealthy at the expense of the South and West.

The stroke, it is supposed, , was very hard as the negro's feet were still in the stirrups and the mule which was killed, too, had its head on the negro's leg, showing that neither of them moved after falling to the ground. Some think that the lightning jumped from a telephone pole which was in about six feet ot the place where they were found and was struck during the same storm. There was a very pretty game of ball here last Friday between Chapin and Pomaria which resulted in a score of four to one in favor of Pomaria. Hatton and Sheely for Pomaria did fine work and Matthews and Sheely for Chapin did some fine work and have no errors marked to them. You can always count on .

Zachry from Augusta, Ga., into this State, with her twc children, the olJest of which is three years of age, in order to keep from surrendering her children to her husband, a lawyer, of Augusta, under a decision of a Georgia court. The* judge who rendered the decision VUctXilCLtl'lieU LUC law UUUC1 v?uivu he acted as "barb<barous." Zachry came to Columbia on Friday, and in habeas corpus proceedings bet fore Judge Ernest Gary, in Columbia, was awarded the elder child. Mrs. Zachry refused to surrender the child, and it was taken from her in the court room by Sheriff McCain, with the assistance of deputies. The chiM was rushed by the father into a waiting automobile and taken to Georgia?to the home of Zachvy's mother, at Harlem, in Columbia countv, it is reported. | Governor Blease had told Mrs. Zachry he would not honor a requisii tion for her return to Georgia without giving her a full and complete t hearing. The governor was out of the city at Filbert, in York county, on the day of the habeas corpus hear ing oerore judge liary. After his return to the city, Governor Blease on Saturday night wired Governor Slaton, of Georgia, .asking him to hold Zachry as a fugitive from the justice of this State, and Governor Slaton replied that he had directed the Georgia sheriffs to hold Zachry, pending requisition from Governor Blease. Statement by Blease. Governor Blease this mornihg made the following statement in regard to the matter: "On yesterday, when I returned to I the city, application was made to me for requisition for Julian Zachry charged with violatng Section 167, 01 the criminal code, of this State, which prescribes a punishment not exceedj ing imprisonment for thirty days or o fino nM ?100! also with a liXiv UVt VAVVVU1M0 Y"v v I _____ ; violating section 166. of said code, which prescribes a punishment of not loss than $200 nor more thai. $1,000, or imprisonment not exceeding two years, or both, at the discretion of the court; also with violating Section 697 of said code, which prescribes a punishment for a term not exceeding one year or a fine not exceeding $200; also with the crime of kidnapping, under the common law, for which there is provided a very severe punishment. "After investigating the matter I became thoroughly convinced that Julian Zacliry was guilty of each of the offences charged, as sworn to by his wife, Mary W. Zachry> and I am satisfied that if he is brought back to South Carolina and carried before a fair and impartial judge, whose mind has not been clouded from whiskey drinking, and an impartial jury of ?his State, that he will spend many of his days to come where he ought to be?in the South Carodlina State penitentiary. "After receiving the affidavits and making the investigation, 1 W u cu Governor Slaton, of Georgia, as follows: " 'Please have sheriff of Richmond or Columbia county, in one of whicn party may be located, arrest and hold Julian Zachry, who is charged with several violations of the criminal code of this State, and has fled from justice.
