Th<v State. Greenville, July 2?>.?J. W. Norwood, president o:" the Norwood National bank of this city, today announced that he would give a reward of 000 for tiie arrest and conviction of ii;e party or parties who assailed Dr. K. Mcintosh in Columbia early Tuesday morning. Mr. Norwood in making this announcement states t'.iat his reward is ? in addition to any which .h.ave or may be offered. Ii was .Mr. Norwood who had the altercation with the governor at the campaign meeting here Saturday. At a late h ur last night the man I who shot Dr. James H. Mcintosh early yesterday morning in front of the iWoodrow Memorial chapel of the First Presbyterian church on Marion street had not been traced beyond the corner of Bull and Pendleton street, at which point the dogs from the penitentiary lost he scent. Here, it is believed, the assailant entered a waiting automobile and was whisked away in the darkness. Mrs. C. Y. Reamer, whose home, 1507 Pendleton street, is just two doors from the corner of Rull and Pendleton, said yesterday that she hapened to be awake at the time of the shooting. A few minutes before she heard the first shot, Mrs. Reamer said, a machine drew ud at the corner. The en Sine continued to run, she said, making considerable noise as if in had condition. A man laughed. This was the only voice she heard, she said. Then she heard tie shot. A few more minutes passed; and the machine left the corner just before the city hall clock struck 2 o'clock. A dispatch 'from Greenville said that J. W. Norwood, president ?of the Nor wood National bank of tnat cit>y, tne man who engaged ia a verbal clash with the governor at the campaign meeting there last week, had offered a reward cf $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of the attack upon Dr. Mcintosh. Joseph Norwood, president of the Union National bank of Colum bia, yesterday offered $10 as the nucleus of a sum to be subscribed and offered as a reward for tte capture of the guilty party or parlies. Wound >'ot Serions. The surgeon attending Dr. iMcIntosh said yesterday that lie did not consider the wound serious. Accord ing to the surgeon Dr. Mcintosn win be able to leave the infirmary in a day or so. Tlie pistol ball, fired at close range, entered the doctor's right side just below the ribs, furrowed through the abdominal wall for about seven inches and came out. v It was said at the hospital yesterIi day that the injured man was restW ing well. He slept yesterday afternoon. He will probably receive the newspaper men today, it was saia, auu make a statement. W. C. Cathcart, chief of the police k department had a brief talk with Dr, Mcintosh during the morning. The m latter could give little or no additional V information, it was learned, as to w'ac +V10 man was that made the attack W Dr. Mcintosh had already described W his assailant as a man of small physique, weighing about 125 pounds, wearing a cloth cap and dark shirt and evidently wearing soft soled ox rub-ber heeled shoes inasmuch as li made no noise when he ran.

The -chief says that his men were at wori on tie case, however, though there was no clue to follow as yet. Alex Hcise. deputy sheriff, said yesterday that t':e sheriff's office hac not been notified cf the shooting Sheriff McCain was in Charleston yesterday. He is expected to returr today. The deputy sheriff said thai there was nothing that could be don* until more information could be ob' tained. Dr. Robert A. Lancaster and J. R Shepnerd, who with B. F. Auman were the first to reach Dr. Mclntosl after the shooting, said yesterday thai there was nothing material that the] could add to the story in The Statf yesterday morning. Mr. Shepherd anc Mr. Auman have rooms at the hom( of Dr. Lancaster, 1328 Lady street which is opposite the scene of th< shooting. The three men were awak ened by the first shot fired.

"This is Dr. Mcintosh," came mo: ! the wounded man, wao was lying c I the ground. "Why, docfc-r! \\*l:at does thi i mean?" aswed L)r. Lancaster, runnii: i up. Some time before the shooting D !
