JREFl'SES TO INVITE ROOSEVELT.

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

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.

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

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-;

will understand it that way, certainly (

will understand it in that way. While

this portion of South Carolina are
evincing'the liveliest interest in the
plans for the celebration of the 132d
anniversary of the battle of King's
Mountain. 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: . ^ ?

Mountain," by Judge Jeter C. Pritchard;

will probably attend.
Itemes from Silversreet.
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
