my desire to announce to my friends
throughout the state that I have withdrawn
from the race for the office of
state superintendent of education.
My reason for go doing is?I believe
Mr. Swearingen to be an able and
faithful public servant. I have no desire
to win at his expense. My only
object to offer for this place was to
render a needed service to the state. I
I am grateful for the many pledgee j
of support."

A GENUINE CELEBRATION
OF THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Who wants a sure enough good
time with plenty of fun and peppery
music? Everybody in Newberry!
When? On July 4th, 1922!
All right, let's go!
The Retail Merchants aissociation
of the chamber of cmmerce has great
things in store for Newberry and
Newbery county on that day. It will
be a jolly hoilday for everybody, on
which day all stores are expected to
close.
Watch the papers for the day's j
program in detail. Some interesting1
features of the jubilee will be oldtime
sports, such as a greasy pig
chase, the climbing of the greasy
pole, enthusiastic races and hurdles,
two regular baseball games. Spicy
music will -be furnished by our three
celebrated bands.
But the best is yet to be told. A
rousing contest will be held among j
the sure enough fiddlers throughout'
the county. This guarantees to'EeTtfrg' j
real thing. Then will put the finishing j
touches to .the red letter day with an :
old-fashioned square dance for all? |
and that means you!
We can make this the grandest old J
lourtn our town nas ever Known.;
Are you with us?' Well, I guess! A
grand old fourth, yes, yes.

Mr. PetextiOn was a familiar figure
in Newberry, well known throughout

him; among other things they respected
him for his walk in two ways
?his walk was upright and ne walked
with a limp. The people in a very

walk, because they knew it was caused
by wounds on the bloody fields of

himself a valiant soldier. After the

about 16 years he served as one of the

at 3:45 o'clock this afternoon.
Judge Mclver had come to Darlington
for the summer term of court
which he opened this morning. iHe
had not been well, but his condition
was such that he opened the court
and continued busiess until 12 o'clock
when he was forced to adjourn because
of his illness.
He was accompanied to the hotel
by J. P. Kilgo, court stenographer.
Dr. J. B. Edwards was summoned,
and after an examination Dr. Edwards
called Dr. S. H. Barnwell from
Florence for a consultation. Judge
Mclver showed signs of improvement,
and the ill man advised against calling
his family. He had suffered simfflv
jitiafks rireviouslv. and he
thought it unnecessary to alarm his
family. Within a short time he became
worse and died at 3:45 o'clock.
The body will be taken to Cheraw tonight
for interment tomorrow.
The news of the death of .Judge
Mclver caused much sorrow in Darlington,

Cheraw, June 19.?Cheraw was
saddened today by the death of Judge
Edward Mclver in Darlington, the
news of his death coming as a shock
to the entire community. Judge Mclver
left Cheraw for Darlington this
morning, apparently in good health.
Judge Mclver was the son of the
late Chief Justice Henry Mclver and
would have been 64 years old nexl
October. He was born in Cheraw and
had Jived here practically his entire
life, his early* education being received
in the Cheraw schools. He received-the
degr-ee.of bachelor of-laws
from the University of Marylkmk-and
in 1878 was admitted to the practice
of law. Mr. Mclver served as secretary
to Representative Hemphill in
Wellington and then returning to
Cheraw took up the practice of his
profession. For years he was a leader
r of the Cheraw bar, his knowledge-of
i the law being given official recognition
in 1918 when he was named
judge of the Fourth judicial circuit.
I His first term expired in 1922 and at
the last session of the general assembly
he was again elected to the bench.
As an attorny' Judge Mclver had
handled some of the largest cases in
1 the county. Before his election to
the bench he had represented both
the Seaboard Air Line railway and
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. He
nrociHpnt and a director of
V> a? V1V.V pi VW.MW... ? ?
i the First National Bank of Cheraw
. and was also a director of the Bank
. of Cheraw. Judge Mclver had also
I played an important role in the social
and religious life of Cheraw and was
. an active member of St. David's Epis.
copal church. A public spirited citizen
he was content, fyowever, to ren.
der what service Be had to offer his
? istate in the capacity of a private citizen
and as a jurist, never having offered
for any political office.
He was the last of the immediate
family of Chief Justice Henyy Mclver
and is survived by only the folp

ISSUE OF BONUS
CAUSES CONCERN
McCUMBER THREATENS TO
SIDETRACK TARIFF
Action May Embarrass President and
Put Party Solidarity in
Jeopardy
1 Hugh W. Roberts in The State.
Washington, June 16.?If the -tar
iff bill is sidetracked in lavor 01 tne
bonus bill Tuesday, according to the
plans of Senator Porter J. McCumber,
the president will suffer the embarrassment
of hio executive exisI
ence. The passage of the bonus bill,
its rejection by the president and its A
passage despite the veto of the president
will make public a split between
congress and the executive which, the
president knows, will give reason for
additional disgust to the people and
provide the Democrats with another
excellent campaign issue.
There is no necessity for immediate
action on the bonus bill which '
can not be effective before January
1, 1923. But McCumber is apparently
anxious that action be taken at
Viis instance nrior to June 28. the
? r
date of a primary in which his constituents
will pass on his record. The
bulk of the Republican membership
would prefer to follow the president;
but if McCumber requires them to
vote, it is believed that they will follow
McCumber, for many of them,
'
like McCumber, have elections in
their districts. The wrestle of McCumber
and the president is no less
strenuous than that of Jacob and the
angel.
1 Acting on instructions irom Harding,
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
has caHed a-caucus for Monday. --'J
In the caucus Lodge will endeavor
to dissuade McCumber on the pies
: that party solidarity *58 be jeopar
dized. He will promise, it is under.
stood, to put the bonus over after the
elections and in plenty of time for it
1 to be operative the first of the year.
i But after the elections McCumber
: will probably b? a dead cock in the
pit. It is. known that he will argue
that the party will be more criticized
for wiggling and wobbliag respect
ing the bpnus than for any action
f- which mi^ht result in an open rup
tu?e between, the legislati/e and .sdi
ministrative branches. The indications
are that the caucus will take
stand against .ailing up the bonus
i and that McCumber will decline to be
bound by that action.
The North Dakota senator is severely
criticised by his colleagues on
the ground that he would jeopardize
the whole party in the hope ?.f saving
his own skin and for the same pur:
pose would sidetrack the ranflf bill,

distinct shock to the many friends '
here of the Cheraw jurist. Although
it was generally known that Judge
Mclver was in failing health, his
death was altogether unexpected. The
Cheraw man wTas one of the most
popular judges ever to hold court in
Marlboro county. Regarded by local
attorneys as a most able and accompuished
jurist, he was respected very
h.'ghly by the entire bar. Judge McIver's
passing is a great less to the
judiciary of South Carolina. Judge
Mclver received the solid support of
