In view of the fact that Dr. Mc Intosh's assailant had mentioned "Colle," The state offered the Gover nor, i brough his private secretary, John K. Aull, the opportunity to make a statement. Mr. Aull, speaking for the Gover nor, said: "Governor Blease regrets the oc currence verj much, as I do. I have a very high personal regard for Dr. McIntosh and know that the Gover nor has also. The Governor's ofllce will lend ?ill possible aid for the ap prehension of the party or parti*., guilty of the assault." I TAKING CALOMEL IS DANGEROUS. Calomel is a powerful chemical, made from mercury people should be careful about its use. The only -ure way to avoid the danger of cal omel is to take no calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone, a vegetable liquid of pleasant taste, more than takes its place. Where calomel shakes you up and shocks your liver and of ten makes you really sick, Dodson's Liver Tono, mild but effective, builds np and strengthens. It "liven? up the liver." You reel line after tak ing it. Dodson's may be taken without any restriction of diet .ir habits. You can give it to your chi'dren with fine results. Get a large bottle for r>0 cents nt H. M. Barton's or Norman Company's and if lt doesn't do all that you think it ought--if it doesn't make bilious spells mere trifles- if lt doesn't "liven up your liver," your money will be walting for you and bo re turned with a smile.-Adv. THE MEETING AT COLUMHIA. ll?titer Turbulent Crowd Greets All the Senatorial Candidates. Columbia. July 2:?.-With marked tenseness prevailing throughout the crowd ot" probably 2,000 persona pres ent. Mayor L. I). Jennings, of Sum ter, opened the campaign meeting here to-day l'or candidates fd.' United Stair, Senate. Considera hie annoyance was caus ed Jennings by a small crowd of persons continually addressing re marks to him. Alter a warning that he would de vote his speech principally to dis cussing records ol' his opponents, lie launched into a hitter criticism of Governor Blouse's record, which pro voked a continual uproar from the hecklers. "You had helter Iel tho other side speak if you want to hoar him (Gov ernor Blease)," Jennings warned. "I am going to tell you of the record which has eliminated practi cally all tin? prisoners from the peni tentiary. 1 am going to tell you of a man in Ande*\v.i who went into a man's home and slew that man." Jennings declare?: with emphasis. "We don't want to hear," ?he heikler- exclaimed, while Jennings with difficulty told ol' the parole of .1. Allan Emmerson, of Anderson Jennings charged that th.? "blind tigers" are supporting Blease. "How would you ?ike to hive tin se two letters written about them your wife, daughter or mother.''' Queried Jennings as he denounced the "trial" ol' Dr. Eleanora B. Saun ders. Mr Jennings severely arraigned the hecklers, saying that ho would rather have the "record of Huerta in Mexico than that m' Governor Bicase." Ile claimed that the ele ment of the State citizenship wit lt regard for the law are going to lake the reina of government In their hands and stamp out Bleaseism, Mr. Jennings said that the regard for the law in Sont lt Carolina is negligible, hm the conditions should he suth that a "citizen should he able o walk the streets both at night and in 'he day-time without being shot in the hack. I nder some of the grand old Governors who have ruled the State such things could not h.' possible." This precipitated a howl from the audience. "Oh. you Bleaseites can howl now!" exclaimed Mr. Jennings, "bu two years hence you ?viii he ashamed lo acknowledge tiiat'^on over knew Blease." Continuing his speech along the lines of the necessity of law en forcement, Mr. Jennings said: "In South Carolina a man's life is no more than his individual power to protect it." Mr. Jennings, predicting tho de feat of Governor Blease, concluded his speech amid the howls of tho hecklers and the cheers of the oilier element of the large audience. Pollock Second S|>eaker. Reiteration Of his intention to de mand obedience to law was made by W. I'. Pollock, of Cheraw, the sec ond speaker, after explaining his reasons for entering the Senatorial race. Paying a glowing tribute to the newspaper reporters and a free press, Mr. Pollock declared: "Yon people whose prejudices are st irre:! would he better citizens il you read more and howled less." Governor Please was criticised for the appointment on his staff of Ed win Hirsch, of Ktngstree, son of tho copartner of the publishing concern for which Janies L. Simms worked, of Janies Sot tile, of Charleston, and of J. Preston Gibson, of Bennetts ville, whose name, Pollock said, ap pears ott a Republican ticket of 1880 with the nantes of negroes. Tho first reference at the meeting to the shooting early to-day of Dr. las. H. McIntosh, whom Governor Please had asserted he would call np on the stand to explain certain statements, was made by Mr. Pol lock, who said, "after an unsuccess ful attempt was made to assassinate a good woman's character, a mid night assassin attempted to get rid of Dr. McIntosh." Tin; woman re ferred to was probably Dr. Saunders. Toward the latter part of his speech Mr. Pollock was forced to haitle against hisses, jeers and in terruptions. The record of Senator Smith was attacked as he close.1. Senator Smith. When Senator Smith began his speech he was greeted with a lopg continued ovation, ile told in elo quent language of his part in the fight lor recognition for thc fanners and of the Incorporation in tho new hanking and currency law of a clause which provided for a six-months' credit to the farmer.

Washington, July 2?.-Dispatches to-day from the headquarters of the rival Mexican factions indicated that lighting there ls almost over. Mans obstructions to bloch the way of peace still exist, bul it is believed they will be cleared away promptly. The most menacing feature, lt is reported, is Villa's attitude towards Carranza. United states Consular Agent Carothers lias declared, how ever, that the Northern leaders are working in more or less harmony. Carothers accompanied Villa to Western Chihuahua, where he is ex pected to try to convince the rebel general of the necessil\ for co-opera tion with Carranza. .lohn lt. Silli inan. President Wilson's personal agent, is with Carranza trying the same thing. Dispatches to United states olll < i lls from Mexico City this morning said that Cen.

Relative to his action in not press ing the passage of the ?inmigration bill through the Senate, Senator Smith declared lie had a letter from the United Order of American .Me chanics telling of theil satisfaction with his bourse Iliense K|K>aks I ?ist. A statement purporting to be signed by Ors. .lames McIntosh, who was wounded here early to-day, and by A. B. Knowlton, telling Governor Blense that II. C. Richey, whom the Governor liberated from prison, was suffering with "a marked neurosis, that the same closely simulates a true paralysis, and we do not believe this condition will be improved so long as Richey remains a prisoner in the penitentiary." was read by the Governor during his speech at the meeting here to-day. This statement is regarded as con tradicting partially the statement re cently issued by Dr. McIntosh, which flatly denied assertions made by Mr. D lease. The Chief Executive was greeted with an ovation from his followers and jeers from his opponents when ho began speaking, and only a flo I fifteen minutes of uproar was ho abk to make himself heard.
