THE CAMPAIGN.
The candidates for State officers
are now before the peop'e seeking
their sufLag*, and have visited several
counties The campaign so far
h*s been remarkable for the ab
nee of that mudsliogicg for which
former campaigns are so noted and
for the quietness and peaceableness
of the audiences. There has
i?? ~ Co/^oVvlo <4icnAeitinn t.n aive
Utcu a UUliVCBUie u?r^vw...v.. -- D
fach candidate a fair showing. Harmless
witticisms have marked the proceedings
of some of the meetings,
but they were good humoredly giveD
and received in the same spirit.
The greatest interest centres, of
course, in the race for Governor and
it is manifestly evident that Governor
McSweeney, the encumbent,
is the object of attack from the candidates
who aspire to stand in his
shoes, but as the criticisms are, as a
rule, legitimate ones he is meeting
them in a fair and manly manner
which win him friends. So far reports
indicate that he is favorite, but
the other candidates also have their
friends to whoop them up whenever
it is needed.
All the campaigners seem determined
to conduct their canvass on a
high plane and to be elected, if
elected at all, on their merits and the
justness of the cause they advocate.
The leading issue in the present
?
campaign is nuuiuiuuu ??. i/icj/cusary,
with the chaoces for success
largely in favor of the latter.
From the teDor of the questions
asked at the meetings so far
held, it is apparent that the voters
do not believe that Col. Hoyt, the
Prohibition candidate, could satisfactorily
enforce a prohibitory law
8bonld be be elected.
If the campaign meetings yet to
be held show up as well as those already
held, we will have a clean and
high toned campaign.
China has begun the war with the
world. Actual hostilities were open
ed on the 16:b by Chinese forts firing
on the ships of all the great powers.
Toe forts were captured after a com
bined attack of foreign war ships
and the forts reduced to ruins. During
the engagement the British loss
in killed 1 and four wounded; Germ*Dv
3 killed and 7 wounded; Russia,
16 killed and 45 wounded, and
France 1 killed and 1 wounded. The
Chinese sustained heavy losses, about
600 of them beiDg killed outright
and as many more wounded. The
United States gunboat Yorktown is
said to have taken part in the action.
The war is now on and will soon be
in full blast and in dead earnest
which will end only at the dismemberment
of the "Flowery Kingdom."
The twelfth National Republican
Convention was called to order
promptly at 12 m. today in Philadelphia.
As the platform has practically
been adopted and the candidate for
President nominated, there remains
but little business of interest to be
done. Among the most important of
which is the selection of a candidate
for Vice President. It looks now
that the choice will fall either on
Secretary Long or Governor Roosevelt
with the latter in the lead. The
only feature of interest among the
incidents of the day was the ovation
given W. S. Taylor, who is accused
with beiog an accessory to the assassination
of Governor Gee be], of
Kentucky.
The returns from the Democratic
K'., ^
primaries show that Clark has swept
the State of Wyoming, carrying nineteen
counties and dividing the delegation
in one. Daily's forces carried
only one, and not a single State
officer who signed the protest against
Senator Clark in the United States
Senate, is sent to his Siate or county
conventions. The friends of Senator
Clark are jubilant over the result
and consider it a complete via
dication of the Senator.

editor of the Newberry Observer.

editorial control of tbe Greenville
Daily News Mr. Wallace has been
connected with the press of the
State off and on for the past twentyfive
or thirty years and his long ex
perience and marked ability makes
him a valuable addition to the membership
of the Fourth Estate.
Editor Verner's witnesses do not
sustain his blind tiger case against
Governor McSweeney. He should
n>w withdraw his charge as he can
not prove it by the men he cited as
witnesses.?Rocord.
This, like any ether charges against
Governor McSweeDey must fail. He
is a self made, honorable gentlemar,
ha9 made a good Governor and is
en itled to the ensuiDg term.
Fifteen hundred new recruits for
the Philippine* are now being en
listed in this country.
Senator Tillman ha? me S ?.e
campaign to help Senator Pettigrew
of South Dekota, who is in danger
of being buried out of eight under
an avalanche of Mark Hanna's gold
He carries with him the promise of the
one gallus wool hat boys to take care
of bis interests while be is away
on bis labor of love.
The first election held in Cuba under
American protectorate is said to
have been entirely satisfactory. It was
orderly and peaceful, which is more
than can be said of the elections held
in this country. The Kentucky Colonel
Bourbon could not have been
much in evidence there.
General Joe Wheeler has received his
commission as Brigadier General in
the regular army of the United States
aDd has been assigned to the command
of the department of the lakes
with headquarters at Chicago.
There was a sensational advance
in wheat in Chicago on June 18ih.
The cause of advance was from reports
that spring wheat in the Dekotas
and Minnesota was a total failure.
The government has ordered the
fast gunboat Yorktown to proceed at
once to communicate with Admiral
Kempff. who is now at the Taku
forts, at the mouth of Pei Ho river.
At the campaign meetings in one
of the counties, Senator Tillman said
that he was attending the meetings
only to show that he had not grown
too big for bis breeches.
Japan has sent 2,000 troops to
China. The Japanese government,
however, is inclined to confine its ac
tion in China to the protection ol
Japanese interests.
Senator A 0 Bacon, of Georgia,
is just recovering from a severe illness
caused from eating toadstools
which he mistook for mushrooms.
TheNintb United States regiment,
which is now doing service on Luzoo,
has been ordered to Manila from
whence it will proceed to China.
The gunboat Concord, with ma

All the foreign governments arc

The grain crop is yielding well aDd
our threshers and flour mills are now (
haviDg their day. ,
Punl E Hntto has moved his saw <

where he and his brother, Jno. Hutto, (
have gone into the lumber business.
Elbert. Hallman, the son of D. J. (
Hallman, one of Lexington's worthy j
Christian citizens, was superintend- j
ing the removal. (
Oae of our citizens is trying three acres
of broom corn this year by way j
cf a small change and variety. So
far you can't detect it from a patch
of sorghum millet.
Another little citizen has been '
added to our census and another life
has been given to the American Republic.
He is a member of the (
household of F. M. Hodge, the agent
of the railroad here. It is said by .
the owners of the adjoiniug house- j
holds to be a matter of great doubt ,
as to whether the child or the father j
can cry the loudest, the longest and j
hardest. The neighbors are respon- ^
sible people and I doubt not the j
accuracy of the statement. j
TII T ? T a.ti. ??;??
JLqe cenbur ouu. ju. urjubb, is guiug
1 his rounds and inquiring about our
families and desires to know all about (
our private business. He has the
appearance of beiDg a man of great
curiosity and I have no doubt many
wonder why he is so interested in
the public's business. The othtr
night he went into the work train
1 while the inmates were all at supper
and began by placing his manuscript
on his lap and asking one of those who
' sat at supper of his life and where
' from and bow old and who was his
1 father and mother and how long employed
by the tailroad, and how
many days he worked in the year and
if his mother and father were full
blooded, of what color and if married
or unmarried, &c, &e., and before
he had finished with him the other
Wc-nty five had fled to parts unknown
k tnd Jim got scant answers cut of
bis customers, and the boss of the
train got mad because bis crowd
, was so scattered by the impudent
and curious intruder and used words
to Jim that had a strong sulphur
i smell. But Jim finally reconciled
i things with him and made another
engagement by as&uriDg him that bin
family were in no danger for he was
not Sheriff Caughmtn nor any one
sent by him with authority.
Silas Hutto attended the Leeeville
commencement exercises and has
returned home.
The sister of Joseph Nunamaker
, paid him a visit and has returned to
her home at Irmo.

to visit her friends and relatives in

reflect credit on our community.
Miss Bell Brooker is spending
some days with her uncle, N. W. '

By invitation from principal, Spec ]
tator, on Monday the 11th last, visited
the school of Mr. W. D. Hill. Mr.
Hill is teaching a pay school during (
the summer and is building up a ,
promising outlook for the academy ]
at Swansea. He has taught only (
two months and is meeting with en- |
couragement from the patrons who ,
express themselves as satisfied with ]
the advancement of their children (
Spectator found that Mr. Hill was (
grounding his pupils well in the
fundamental principals of mathe
matn.cs, grammar and geography. 1
Tne foundation for the futu.e is being
well laid and none of the useless
"trash" so frequent in schools find a
place in his teaching. The map 5
drawing by the class was a beautiful t
feature of the occasion. The map of t
i the State was drawn entirely from r
| memory by each, and the shape and r
: position of each county given cor J
! rectly and the lines marking longi r
j tude and latitude properly shown.
; Mr. Hill has taught school for thirty- t
I five years almost consecutively and t
j is well qualified to uudeitake a task o
of such vast importance. n

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Orangeburg, S. C,
June 18, 1909.
In the interest of better mail
facilities for rural districts, will you
not once more call the attention ol
your people who live along Star
Routes to the importance of putting
their mail boxes up?
The new service will go into effect
July first and that is only about ten
days off.
They ought to put up neat boxes
on the roadside so the carrier can
reach it without leaving his 6eat and
then direct the postmaster where
they are now getting their mail to
send it out by the carrier. There
ought to be at least fifty thousand
boxes ready by the first of July, and
it would give a grand impulse to the
cause of rural delivery.
Very truly,
J. Wm. Stckes.
