Shr \(orbviUc (fnquutr. Entered at the Postofflce in Yorkville as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE. S. 0.1 TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1914 The very best occupation for Sundays is attendance on public worship. There are only four more weeks for enrollment, and all the voters should get busy. It is well too for people to realize that conditions are very different from what they have been heretofore. Under old conditions voters did not have to worry: there was always somebody to do the enrolling for them. Now every man has to attend to the matter himself. It is hardly to be presumed that South Carolina polities had anything to do with the dropping of Wm. J. Burns from honorary membership in the National Association of Police Chiefs: but everybody now admits that it was a miserably shabby job that Burns pulled off in connection with the dispensary investigation at Augusta. A correspondent from the low country who is very much experienced in matters political, writes The Enquirer: "Of course, it is hard to tell Just yet with any degree of certainty: but it looks like Manning and Richards in the second race for governor." We felt quite sure some time back that it would be Manning and McLaurin. According to our way of figuring the candidacy of McLaurin would have forced things out that way: but now we are lost. Of course we still have a guess at the matter: but just at this moment we do not feel that we could guess with any degree of conviction. If there is any business that requires decision, it seems to us that that business is the military business. First the secretary of war was going to have the military encamped at Charleston. Then that was rescinded. Next the encampment would go to Augusta. The governor would not give permission for South Carolina troops to go unless assured that in the event of their being called for service in Mexico, they would be returned to this state for mobilization. That assurance was given. Then there was an order that the troops would encamp in this state, and that was turned down in favor of Augusta. Now, because of a condition that has been known to exist since last spring was a year ago, the invitation for the encampment of South Carolina troops has been withdrawn entirely. We have not kept up with the whole thing very closely; but somehow to us it looks like there has been not a little vaccilation in connection with it. Some of the candidates are making no hesitation in declaring themselves for or against Blease. Messrs. Jen nings and Pollock both say that as between Blease and Smith, they would not hesitate to vote for Smith: but Smith, we believe, has not yet seen proper to say that as between Blease and the other two, he would vote for one of the other two. Most of the candidates for state officers recognize that there is an issue, and some say without hesitation which side of it they are on. Some assume, as they have a right to do, that they have records of their own, and do not care to be voted for because of their attitude to the governor. If Senator Smith fails to assume the same attitude toward the governor as does Messrs. Jennings and Pollock, and the second race should happen to be between Governor Please and Senator Smith, it is quite probable that many supporters of Jennings and Pollock will vote for Please on the ground that Smith was against them on what they conceive to be the real issue. It gives The Enquirer pleasure to call special attention to the Conduct of Mr. K. A. Cooper, who is solicitor of his district in forcing the trial of J. G. Sullivan for the murder of Col. John M. Cannon, in Laurens. As everybody knows, the first play of the defense in a grave murder case is to try to secure a continuance. Tne advantage 01 tins is apparent. With the facts fresh in the mind of a generally honest public, there is usually a keen desire for just punishment of a guilty party. No matter how atrocious a crime may he, nor how indignant outraged justice might l>e at the time of its commission as time wears on the people forget and become indifferent. Then again, time favors the defendant because of the opportunity to soften witnesses, and for many other reasons. The usual effort was made to have the trial of Mr. Sullivan postponed. It happened that the trial came on just as the campaign opened, and as Mr. Cooper is a candidate for governor, there was great temptation for him to accede. It is always easy to justify a continuance of any kind of a trial much less a murder trial, and if Mr. Cooper had not desired to go into this case now, even the judge would have been unable to force him to do so. He could have simply stated that he was not ready, and that would have been suflicient; but there were other things to which he could have had recourse. Hut he declined to hear of a continuance. prefering to go right into the case, regardless of his political inter ests in Ijiurens or elsewhere, and as this way of doing things seems to be characteristic of the man. it is but fair that the facts be known. Gubernatorial Race. So far as the personality and records of the candidates are concerned, it has been many a day since the voters of South Carolina have had such a splendid range of choice in deciding upon a preference for governor, and we doubt as to whether there are , a great many individuals of reasonable intelligence in the state who are un- 1 able to pick from the list a candidate ! who will not suit exactly. More than once the list of candi- ' dates has been quite sorry. In the ! lirst place tlo-re were few aspirants ' out, and in the second place among those that were out, there were none who were satisfactory to any consid- ! erable number of people. The point was being reached where men began to say with pretty widespread appro- ' val that the primary system had served its day, that good men were no ' longer willing to go to the expense and endure the vindication and abuse for the slim chance of securing the ' governorship; but that argument no | longer holds. It would be a difficult 1 thing for anybody to deliberately se led as candidates for the governorship. a better average lot of men than 1 those now offering. 1 We have in the list, men who have come up from the ranks and made ? good with but few early educational * opportunities. We have men who i were born with silver spoons in 'heir 1 mouths, and who have had the In nelit ; >f all that could I?? secim-d from schools, colleges and universities. S? me of these have had wide legislative < xl>eri' nee and others have made 11 -ii~ way in business, professional and edit cational life, and generally speaking we would say that the reputations and characters of all are good. So fur as we know, there is no really serious and unquestionable reproach against any of them. Whoever of the entire bunch may be elected, it is safe to say that South Carolina will have a good governor. But we do not want anybody to think that the outlook is one for peace and satisfaction, no matter who is e'ected, and that it is all the same to the state for twist it and turn it as we will there are too pretty well defined factions in the Democratic party of South Carolina. In reality there are two parties instead of one party, and this party feeling is going to cut more or less figure all through the campaign. especially at the end of it. There is going to be an effort to concentrate party or faction behind a candidate of its own. and if in the end it shall turn out that both the highest candidates are of the same faction, then the other faction will do all it can to determine the issue in favor of its preference between the two. This has been the rule in every campaign since the state wide primary was inaugurated, and there will be no deviation from the rule in this campaign. MERE-MENTION.

Sumter, Manning, Monck's Corner and Georgetown Covered by State Party and St. Matthews, Orangeburg, St. George, Charleston and Walterboro Covered by Senatorial Party? No Meeting fcr the State Candidates Yesterday. The state campaign is now fairly open and the net results of the tirst week seem to show a general tendency to the same old ruts of previous years, although up to this time there have been fewer personalities and less villi tication and abuse. Generally speaking, there appears to be less feeling than two years ago; but evidences of partisanship are as clear and pronounced as heretofore, even if they are less demonstrative. The newspaper reports generally speaking, are about as full as could be expected under the circumstances, especially in view of the large number of candidates to be dealt with, and although none of the papers are pretending the impossible task of giving all that is said and done, they are measuring up to the usual standard. There is very little disposition on the part of any of the reporters to try to give a full and accurate conception of the temper of the crowds, indicated preferences and the like; but a careful reading of all the reports, regular and special, brings this information also to those who have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of the general situation. There is generally more interest in the senatorial candidates than there is in the state candidates, and the senatorial candidates are being met by larger crowds. The sentiment as to the senatorial campaign seems to be very much the same as in the campaign of two years ago, as against rsiease ana Jones. meases irjenus and adherents are out at every meeting, and they do not seem to care about anything else. If the other candidates speak first, the Blease people wait until Blease's time comes and then have but little further interest in the proceedings. When the governor gets through speaking he leaves the stand, and most of his friends go with him. Senator Smith is making very much the same speech at every meeting, devoting himself mainly to a review of his record in the senate and an explanation thereof, particularly claiming a large share of credit for all the advance there has been in the price of cotton during the past five years. Pollock is hammering mainly at Smith and Blease, denying that Smith has accomplished anything in the senate whatever, and claiming that he should be turned out on the theory of having been tried and found wanting. Jennings is devoting most of his attention to Blease. He agrees with Pollock that Smith has done nothing worth while, but he devotes his energies mainly to Governor Blease's pardon record, and the general conduct of his office. The antiBlease element that is not disposed to support Smith seems to be lining up behind Jennings; but some of it is going to Pollock. Governor Blease is in sisting that he is not after the antiBlease vote; he knows that is going to the other side. All that he wants, he says, is his own vote. In every speech Governor Blease is denouncing the recent state convention as unrepresentative. He says that in the first place the county conventions were packed mainly with town loafers, and that farmers, mill workers and others who earn their livings by honest labor were left out. Then he says that the delegates included mill presidents, bank presidents, hungry anti-politicians and the like, who sought to manipulate the rules so as to keep the poor white men and the plain people generally from voting; but he insists that the effort will fail. Jennings announces this with the boost that he was a member of that convention which did just what it went there to do. There is no desire, he says, to keep any white man from voting once; but he does not want anybody to vote more than once, and he says it will work out that way. tl- ct.i. r> 4.. I no oiciic r?i w/. So far there has been no mud-slinging or anything of the kind among the campaigners for the state offices. The most noticeable development in connection with the state campaigners is a general agreement to conduct the campaign on a high plane; but this does not prevent factional alignments which are rapidly becoming more reasonably clear and distinct. Some of the candidates have taken one side and some the other, while there are others who have not allowed themselves to be identified with either. The indications in the case of some are that they will keep the middle of the road all the way through, and in others they will finally Hop to one side or the other as circum-. ances seem to justify. Mr. Richard I. Manning has announced himself as opposed to the "policies of Governor Blease," and is coming to be regarded as distinctively the Conservative candidate. Mr. J. G. Clinkscales is running along non-facional lines, but does not want to be understood as approving the governor. 14^ in wmnhnuivintr ,m ttiilviiii'V Pfliirn tion and law enforcement. Messrs. Mendel L. Smith and Chas. A. Smith, Mr. I? J. Browning and R. A. Cooper ire running along non-factional lines; but do not care to be identified with Governor Blease, Messrs. John G. Richards, \\\ C. Irby, Jr., Chas. Carroll Simms and J. B. A. Mullaly are running as Reformers or Bleaseites. John Duncan, as heretofore is a free lance, pure and simple. Mr. Richards showns signs of impatience under the designation of "coat tail swinger," claiming that his opponents have no right to apply the phrase to him. Mr. I'has. Carroll Simms says that he has ilways been a friend of Blease because Blease has always stood for the interests of tlie people on education and other things. He says that In* endorses ?nd approves the governor's policies, nid if this be coat-tail swinging those who don't like it can make the most of it. J. A. Hunter for lieutenant govern>r, gets partisan cheers by declaring that he is swinging on no man's coat tails, and is his own man, and B. Krank Kelly, candidate for the same ifflce gets an equal amount of cheers by declaring that he has always been i friend of the governor and endorses he governor's policies. A. J. Bethea uid \V. M. Hamer are both anti-Blease candidates. J. A. Summersett its a Blease man is running for comptroller general (gainst A. W. Jones an anti-Blease nan.

Willis claims that Moore has almost destroyed the miliia lie trenerallv inefficient manage nent, and complains against. Moore ecause the latter refused to pay out ertain moneys in accordance with the ecommendations of the military ward.

Kortner is the acnowiedged administration candidate. < nd is for the 2 cent tlat rate as are all i the other candidates except Cansler, who says he is not so certain about that as he is not willing to reduce rates unless he is certain that he will not at the same time reduce the quality of the service. At Walterboro Yesterday. The senatorial candidates were at Walterboro yesterday, after having suffered a delay of several hours by a railroad wreck. There were close to 1.000 people in attendance, and it was mainly a Blease and Smith crowd, the applause being generally for these two candidates. Both the senator and the governor were the recipients of flowers and the governor said he would keep his for the senator's political funeral. Governor Blease spoke first and in the course of his speech said that he could beat all three of his opponents In the first primary by from 8,000 to 11,000 votes. He denounced as a falsehood a story that Is being circulated to the effect that he is being supported by L. W. Parker and the cotton mill trust. He said that Parker is one of his bitterest political enemies and is supporting Smith. He disclaimed any responsibility for the withdrawal of the invitation to the South Carolina troops for the militia encampment of Augusta, saying that it was because of a shortage of $100,000 worth of the government's military equipment; but he made no charge in connection with the matter. He denounced the new primary rules and enrollment regulations as the work of mill corporations and corporation attorneys who thus seek to control the electorate and run the state; but he predicted that the effort would fail. Mr. Jennings made about the same speech he has been making, attacking the governor's pardon record and defending the work of the recent state convention. Mr. Pollock characterized Senator Smith as a "whole lot of hot air," and said of Governor Blease: "A great big mouth, a great long tongue, a hell of a fuss and nothing done." Senator Smith made a speech in which he dealt with his record in the senate, told some funny jokes and received generous applause. Both Pollock and Jennings were asked pointed questions as to their connection with the recent state convention and the new primary rules, and were kept pretty busy making replies, which were gen erally ready and direct and sometimes more or less witty. MEXICO AND MEXICANS Miscellaneous Developments Bearing Upon Troubled Conditions. An extraordinary session of the Mexican congress was called to meet in Mexico City, yesterday. Parties arriving at Vera Cruz from Mexico City, state that Huerta is confident that he will be able to come with honor out of the situation, since he considers that even if mediation fails, President Wilson dares not declare war, since America let him have the cargoes of arms, as every Ameriican killed would die as a result of Huerta obtaining those arms. It is also stated that Huerta is confident he will be able to make considerable progress against the rebels in view of the present disorganization and friction in the north. General F^unston has reported to the war department that the Federal troops in the vicinity of Vera Cruz are acting suspiciously and has asked permission to extend his outposts and materially strengthen them. The Mexicans in the vicinity of the Mata woras ai iejar, are assuming a ratner menacing attitude. South Carolina Out of It.?The following was published in the daily papers Sunday morning as an Associated Press dispatch from Washington, dated Saturday: The invitation extended by the war department to Governor Blease of South Carolina to have the organized militia of that state participate in the maneuvers camp to be held in Augusta. Ga., next month, has been withdrawn because of the failure of the South Carolina militia to meet the requirements of the Dick militia law as constructed by the law officers of fhe department. The attention of Governor Blease some months ago was called by the wa r rlhrtarttnorit t r\ V*o 0V1 nt?f on m In mo of the South Carolina militia in the matter of missing equipment and shortage of men in the various grades The result was some spirited correspondence between the governor and > the secretary of war. Finally Governor Blease undertook to meet the ' requirements of the department. Trouble later arose between the , governor and the secretary of war > over the location of the proposed joint , encampment on the Isle of Palms. South Carolina. Secretary Garrison , Anally pre-emptorily transferred this camp to Augusta, Ga. S'n"e then reports from the inspection officers of . the war department have disclosed the fact that the South Carolina mi- , litia still is deficient in the various 1 matters complained of originally and Secretary Garrison therefore has felt ; obliged to withdraw the department's , invitation to participate in the man- : euver camp to be held in Augusta. So far. South Carolina is the only < southern state which will be excluded . from the maneuvers on this account. ! 1 " 1 i CHILDREN'S DAY AT HOODTOWN ] Correspondence The Torkvllle Enquirer nuuuwwn, juiit* ?6.? i litre was a . large crowd of people from the sur- . rounding neighborhood assembled at .

There seems to be a little interest on the part of the voters outside of the towns in the political situation; but that interest is not very great. People generally seem to be taking their own time to get their bearings. Let's have public cotton weighing platforms in this county and put the matter of buying and celling cotton on a. purely business basis. The present method existing all over York county except at Fort Mill, is unwholesome. The time was when sellers were made to feel that buyers were conferring special favors, and that ought not to be for there is nothing to it. Then again, the public platform method is the most pennnmicfll most pffipipnt and e-pnpr ally the most satisfactory. It has so proved everywhere; it has been tried and it has been tried almost everywhere except in York county. Let's have public platforms, and do business in a business way.

Hoffman Ebenezer CHILDREN'S DAY AT CHAPEL Children's day, the most talked of, tnd, to many the most interesting anlual event connected with Chapel Methodist church, four miles north of iforkville, and just off the King's Mountain road, was observed Sunday, he programme being one of the most daborate and the crowd among the ' argest which has assembled in the jretty grove surrounding the church juilding in quite a while. A conservative estimate would num >er the crowd at four hundred; they ;ould not all get into the church, and >wing to the exceedingly warm weath- j r many of those in attendance did not | ry to get in, but contented themselves vith sitting in the shade within hear ?K distance of the juvenile speakers. The rostrum of the church was aristically decorated for the occasion, , itreamers of ivy and ferns, bound by vhite crepe paper being suspended ibove, while the foot of the pulpit was 1 ilso covered with the same material. 1 'retty potted plants and a large ban- 1 ler of green and white which bore the vords "Children's Carols," also added ? o the attractiveness of the building. The exercises were begun about I leven o'clock, Mr. S. W. Thomas, su- i lerintendent of the Chapel Sunday ichool, which has an enrollment of j ibout seventy-live pupils, presiding. t The children, most of them little \ toys and girls between the ages of live } ind eight, marched in line from the ront of the yard into the church, and . iccupicd the lirst ten rows of seats, rhere were about sixty of them, their lumber including several larger boys ,nd girls whose presence indicated * hat although they were "grown up," hey were still greatly interested in 1 Sunday school work. A?good choir had been secured and * inder the leadership of .Mr. E. M. ' Mckson, the excellent singing proved * o be an enjoyable part of the exerises. I Numerous short recitations, tableux 1 nd pantomimes composed the pro- i rum me and the children showed by s heir delivery and actions that they 1 ad been well drilled. None of them v ppeared to be frightened; none for- t ot the part he or she was to perform. The exercises were concluded with % he hymn. "Nearer My God to Thee." . ting in sign language by Misses Her- ], lia Jane Smoak and Clem Parrott. f, oth of the young ladies being deaf ( ml dumb. The song was performed ? organ accompaniment, perfect iiythm being displayed. This song . liich had been reserved to the last, !' as easily the feature of a highly in^resting programme. J' Following this hymn, the audience _ as dismissed to the grove where a !' iiuntiful picnic dinner was spread. " here was plenty and to spare, the v inner consisting of all the good things " i be found only on a picnic occasion. All present were invited to partake of < the meal. None refused. 1 Since it was the regular day for I services at Chapel, most of the audi- < ence remained for the able address de- ! livered by the pastor. Rev. J. X.

The Neely Cotton Mill baseball team got revenge on the Rock Hill mill team for the decisive defeat they gave the local team last Saturday week. The game Saturday was played on the Yorkville bo'-s' ground The score was: Neely Mill, 23, Rock Hill Mill Boys, 0. It was a slugfest all the way through, every member of the local team hitting the ball at will, as well as outclassing the visitors in iielding. The Neely mill boys have had a good season this year and have contldence in their ability to be more than a match for any local aggregation to be found in these parts. ? The Yorkville troop of Boy Scouts returned home Saturday, after their live day outing at all Healing Springs, Linwood, N. C. All the Scouts were in good health; it was evident that the trip had added a ruddy glow to the faces of many. The Scouts explored Crowder's Mountain thoroughly, and. in fact, the whole country surrounding. They did their own cooking and took care of themselves generally. Only one dose of medicine was given during the trip according to Scout Master Oates, and the boy to whom it was administered, could not be convinced that he needed it. The trip was very economical; scouts being charged $4 for railroad fare and other expenses and each will receive a refund of about $1.50. The Scouts walked to and from Gastonia to their camp?a distance of seven miles by a newly built highway. The hardest job for those in charge was to keep the boys from falling down some crevice in the mountain. In this they succeeded, and eacli Scout returned in better condition than when he left Yorkville. ? Mr. George H. O'Leary, who has the distinction of having been longer in active business than any other citizen of Yorkville, has sold out his furniture, harness and store business to the York Furniture company and retired from active commercial life. Mr. O'Leary is a native of Yorkville, havng been born in this place about seventy years ago. His early educational idvantages as well as his business opportunities were about as limited as it tvas possible for an American boy of nis day to be. At about 12 years of ige, he went to work in a marble yard i $5 a month. Laterwhen about fourteen, he worked at a brickyard, helpng to carry the brick out of which the present Church Home Orphanage was ;rected. Then in 1860, he began to earn the harness-making trade and vorked at that until 1864, when he volunteered for the Confederate service, going into the company that had fone out from Yorkville as the Jasper ~,ight Infantry. After the war he went :o the west on a prospecting trip; but eturned in about a year in the belief hat after all, this section was about is good as was to be found anywhere. 3e worked in Chester county for a rear or two, and went into the harnessnaking business for himself on June I'l. I8t>9. tie DPgan 10 aau me luriuure business in 1876. and has been at he same old stand ever since. His eputation as a reliable, successful nisiness man is too well known to reluire comment. His recent determinaion to quit active business gives him he distinction of being the only Yorkrille business man who has ever taken his step of his own voluntary motion, laving been careful, economical and rudent in his business affairs, the general understanding is that he is j veil provided for in the matter of this 1 vorld's goods.

The Democratic chairmen of the ounties of the Fifth congressional istrict have arranged a cumpaign ( inerary which provides for one j teeting day at the county seat of . aeh county as follows: Chesterfield, | uly 14; Camden, July 16; Lancaster, ? uly 18; Oaffney, July 21; Yorkville, . uly 22; Chester, July 25; Wlnnsboro, . uly 28.

The Enquirer was incor- 8 'ct in the statement made some time v *o that Prof. T. W. Cooley had been ^ ected principal. The trustees tried b i engage Prof. Cooley, but he had alady made other arrangements. The Jthorities are at a loss as to where to it a good male teacher to take charge a ' the school. * eath of Mrs. R. A. Cooper. w News was received In Yorkville, c ?sterday of the unexpected death of a rs. Cooper, wife of Hon. R. A. Coop- ^ candidate for governor. Mrs. a aoper had been indisposed for sever- f) days: but there seemed to be no oc- \ ision for especial alarm at her con- jj tion. She took suddenly ill yester- u ly morning and died shortly before j. ! o'clock. The deceased was a c. tughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Ma- |j ten of Princeton, Greenville county, y le is survived by her father, her a jsband and one small child, and the q. Mowing brothers and sisters: E. B. a achen of Laurens: Mrs. A. J. Mon- b: e of Princeton; Mrs. O. B. Riddle of x reenville; Mr. John Machen of (j rinceton, and Rev. Jas. H. Machen st Yorkville. Mr. Cooper was at the idside of his wife when she died. sath of Mr. E. C. Caldwell. j Mr. Edward Clarence Caldwell, for- p] erly of King's Creek, but for the nasi tl s?ht years in the employ of the tuthern railway, died in a Salisbury al ispital about seven o'clock yesterday orning, after an illness of two days. ^ath resulted from stomach trouble. fr it the exact nature of the malady is dl it known. Mr. Caldwell was about 34 di ars of age, and at the time of his 0< ath was an engineer of the South- ci n. running between Greenville and ui >encer, N. C. He was stricken soon m ter reaching Spencer, Saturday night of s condition being regarded as criti- w 1 from the beginning. The deceased \V survived by the following brothers w d sisters: Hugh, James, T. M? W. bi Harry. Herbert, Mrs. Hi L. Wright, st Isses Lena and Margaret Caldwell, nr le funeral and interment was at cc ersheba at noon today, services be- bt r conducted by Rev. F. Ray Riddle, be me Fine Crops in Beth-Sbiloh. There are si>mo unusually line crops t in the direction of Reth-Shiloh. A sy mer from out that way told The tr iquirer last Saturday, that Mr. J. W. ar ve has the linest prospect for a ail ud corn crop that he has seen for di irs. The corn was planted in the It< ttoms about April 1, has been work- tei regularly and is now waist high, mi d as black as a rain cloud. Mr. J. eii Fewell, generally conceded to be to ;> of the best farmers In the neigh- Pj hood, has line crops of both cotton ch 1 corn, and Mr. M. L. Thomasson be * two or three of the best cotton le> crops on his plantation that ho has ever had. In some cases the stands are poor; but generally the crops are I good. There are other good crops and some poor ones; but generally where there is a bad showing, it seems to be more the fault of the season than of the farmer. Liquor Agent Arrested. F. M. Davis, publicity agent of the Hull Street L'quor Co., of Richmond, Va., was arrested at the old depot in t Yorkville, last Saturday and required to put up a $200 cash bond for his appearance at the July term of the court of general sessions. Davis was charged with distributing liquor circulars. It seems that he got on the C. & N.-W. at Gastonla, and was occupied in e throwing literature out of the car windows all the way to Clover. Some one happened to see the agent engaged in this work just after he left Clover and the Yorkville authorities were notitied to look out for him. When the train reached Yorkville, Deputy Sheriff Quinn got on board, and for a few moments was busily engaged in spotting his man. Soon he saw Davis throwing out his circulars, and arrested him. The train was stopped at the old depot and deputy and prisoner got * off. Davis claimed he was within his rights in distributing the printed matter. Sheriff Brown did not think so and asked J. S. Brice, Esq., for the law on the matter. The case of the State vs. Davis from Laurens county, which case was similar to the one at issue, was cited. Upon examination the agent admitted that he was the same Davis who was tried at Laurens. There being nothing else to do, the nun ai, lu. a ageni gave oona ror ?zuu and left for parts unknown. Moore and Willis. The Charleston Sunday News gives the following as to W. W. Moore and M. C. Willis, candidates for adjutant 4 general at Georgetown, last Saturday: "Adjt. Gen. W. W. Moore, for re-election, led off this morning. He defended the manner in which he had received the endorsement of the majority of the National Guard, which had been criticised by his opponent at Monck's A Corner yesterday, and read a circular letter sent out by Capt. Willis some time ago in support of his charge that Capt. Willis first started about finding out whom the National Guard wanted to endorse. He said his endorsements were voluntary. M. C. Willis, of Yorkville, candidate for adjutant general, presented his claims. Capt. Willis telling of unexpended balances revert- I ing to the war department because it was not spent in the year in which it was appropriated, said $3,770.05 had been turned back which was not spent on the naval militia, and he thought this showed incompetency on the part of Gen. Moore. He said he thought ^ the trouble with Gen. Moore was that ^ he tried to run the militia from Washington. Gen. Moore, rising to reply, said the naval militia fund which was not expended was appropriated for arms and equipment, and could not be spent for other purposes; that the naval militia was equipped. Applause greeted this and a cheer, Hurrah for Moore!' was heard from the audience." ? P. A. Nelson, of the Columbia bar, died in olumbia, last Saturday, aged 58 years. ? The arrangement whereby members of the state campaign party agreed that the gubernatorial candidates should speak last, has not been satisfactory. It develops that there Is t not enough sensational excitement in ^ the speaking of the governors to hold V the crowds, and now it is proposed to split the party into two divisions, allowing the respective divisons to open on alternate days. ? Governor Blease, with the governors of the other twelve original colonies, has been invited to Philadelphia, as a guest of the city, to participate In a great Fourth of July ^ celebration on July 3 and 4. President Wilson is to be the principal speaker of the occasion. In the event the governor cannot attend, he Is requested to appoint a personal reprelentative. 9 ? The senate Judiciary committee las decided to eliminate from the douse anti-trust bill words which lawyers say would legalize the blacklist. \lthough less than half the committee attended the session and action vas described as tentative, it was beieved generally that the entire comnittee will approve. The portions of % he bill acceptable to organized labor vere only slightly modified and their srincipal contention for the limiting >f injunctions in labor disputes was igreed to practically as written in the louse bill. The committee expected o finish its work next week and report t he bill to the senate. The committee itruck out language which . ould lave banned injunctions against dcketing or attendance at tne nome ir working places of any person "for he purpose of peacefully obtaining >r communicating information." ? Asheville special of June 19, to he Charlotte Observer: The Paul iurgeois Wild Animal Feature com>any, Inc., a moving picture firm fea- A uring wild animal productions, has ecured a lease on a large tract of and of several hundred acres near his city belonging to A. belong, and kill use the property for the producion of the features which will be hown throughout the country.

Six established steamship lines Iready have served notice upon the anama canal management of their itention to make regular use of the aterway. One vessel from the west ^ oast ports of South America will be W t the Pacific gates of the canal July , seeking to make her way to Liverool by that route and thus to initiate fortnightly service between Liverool and the west side of South merica. An American steamship ne now operating four steamers on ie Pacific side and six on the Atmtic are waiting the opening of the anul to merge all ten into a regular ne between San Francisco and New ork. Hawaiian sugar, which has Iready begun to come through the A inal on barges, being trans-shippea w t either end, will be carried in unroken cargoes from Honolulu to ew York just as soon as Governor oethals gives the word that regular eamships may use the waterway. # ? Treasury department officials tow only a passing interest in the henomenal exportation of gold irough New York. $70,000,000 since inuary 1. The gold reserve supply I the New York sub-treasury praccally was exported and over $40,000,)0 was sent to New York last week om other sub-treasuries. "What ifference does it make if Europe raws on us for $100,000,000 or $200,>0,000 worth?" John Burke, treasur of the United States, remarked Satrday, when asked about the moveent. "The United States has plenty ' gold We are not like countries hich have only a limited amount. 'e have more than a billion dollars' orth of gold in reserve. A slight ilance of trade against us can easily art the gold moving toward Europe id I understand that two railway irporations are about to retire some ?nds issued in Europe which must met with sold." George E. Robts, director of the mint, believes the w currency law will check the flow m gold to Europe. Under the new * stem, he says, there will be a cenalized control of the discount rate id a careful supervision of the credit tuation. By establishing a reliable scount rate in this country, Mr. oberts thinks the new banking sys- ^ m will put American rates on com ercial paper on a par with the for?n market and induce foreign banks buy American commercial paper. r effecting a more universal interange of investments, Mr. Roberts lieves the new banking system will tsen the transfer of gold.
