JREFl'SES TO INVITE ROOSEVELT. Mayor (iibbes Says He Does Not Be- 1 lieve in Ciivlngr Hull Moose a Boost Over Wilson and Taft. Columbia, Sept. 2S.?A complete statement concerning the invitation , L which it had been proposed to extend r to Theodore Roosevelt to speak in Co lumbia during the 5th National Corn | Exposition next .January has been is- ( sued by the exposition management. This statement is made consequent , j upon a statement which appeared this afternoon from Mayor Gibbes and A. McP. Hamby as secretary of the Co lumbia chamber of commerce, in "which they gave their reasons for deI ? dining to endorse the invitation, [ "which the exposition management was considering extending to Mr. Roose-: velt. In their statements. Mayor Gibbes and Secretary Hamby made the point that they feared that this invitation extended at this time would give one candidate an undue advantage over his two opponents in the heated presidential campaign now on. In view of the fact that these state1J f V> a mativP menis ClIU uui uicxivc piaiu tuv .UVI...V * of the exposition management in sucn an invitation to Col. Roosevelt, the following statement has been made by the management: Tempest iii a Teapot "The stir that has been raised about the proposed invitation to Col. Roose| velt is a tempest in a tea-pot, very much to do about nothing. The facts are as follows: 'It has been the plan ? of the National Corn exposition management to invite all three of the lead-! ing candidates for presidents to attend the exposition on different occa* sions. As president, incumbent during ttie exposition, Mr. Taft would naturally be invited. He attended the exposition lasi held in Columbus, Ohio, two yecrs ago, as president-elect, after ' November's election, Governor Woodrow Wilson would be invited, and it | was the confident expectation that he ' would bfi glad to accept such an invitation for such an occasion in his old " * liome town. Was a Friend to Gov. Thompson. "The invitation to Col Roosevelt was to be extended in a significant way. For some time it has been planned to hold in Columbia a reunion of the former Dupils of the late Governor Hugh S. Thompson, the beloved teacher and distinguished statesman whose memory is cherished in his native State. + 1 ; ki t-ar-cko r.or? in t'nic reunion vo w vi *** v ?? ?- ? ? proposed to the management of the corn exposition that it be held during the exposition in order that, primarily, the former pupils of the Thompson school now living in distant States, might take advantage of the low rates granted for the corn exposition. "The exposition management agreed to the proposition that then was suggested that it would be extremely appropriate to invite Col Roosevelt to attend and make an address, since he J T*U/vyy%r.firvn fArVArl + CTOt Vl ofc ATI UI1U V,U1. 1 liuiupauu oci icu the civil service commission and were w.irui friends during Governor Thompson's life time. ' "It has been suggested that the city of Columbia and the chamber of commerce be asked to join in this invitation. That is all there is to it. lias Been Entertained Before. "Col. Roosevelt was entertained in i South Carolina 011 a similar occasion when he presented the sword, the gift of South Carolina, to Major Micah Jenkins, during the Charleston exposition. President Taft has been enter- | tained in the State capitol at Colum-j bia and in Charleston. Governor Wil-! Viae Koon rhp cmpst South Paro- ! OV/il HUC VVVil v**v , linia. There is nothing new in inviting any or all of these distinguished political leaders, and there is no politics in any of the invitations so far as ! the National Corn exposition is con-; ' cerned." Any fair-minded individual | will understand it that way, certainly ( ^Messrs. Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt i will understand it in that way. While in order to secure their acceptance it is necessary to extend the invitations [ 'in advance, the corn exposition will be held two months after the election, onr? thoro r-nn ha nn nf!_e<;iblp DOlitical - I * significance in their coining ,o ColumS bia at that time."

This was one of the most decisive battles of the Revolutionary War and that fact has never grown dim in the minds of the people who live in this particular portion of the two Carolinas. Forefathers of people of this section fought and died in the memorable battle, and for that reason the date carries with it recollections which can never be forgotten. Each year plans are made for the celebration of the day ana this year will rnnri- one of '_he most brilliant events that ever occurred. The cele- j bration will be held ihis year on Oc-) tober 7, at King s Mountain, and the following very interesting programme will be rendered: . ^ ? 10 a. m.?Parade. 11a. m.?Address, "Battle of King's Mountain," by Judge Jeter C.

Silverstreet, Sept 30.?The incle- ' ment weather for the past week has j . . i kept the farmers from gathering tfteir j crops as progressively as hereto-fore; but regardless of the bad v ather the Silverstret gin has been kept very busy with the fleecy locks.
