* l Entered at the Po-toffice at Xewhtrry, S. C.. as 2nd ela>> matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. ! Tuesday,'July 28, 1914. ===^ i It "will be noied that Mr. J. \Y. Nor-: wood does not offer liis reward oi I $5,000 for the apprehension and eon-1 eviction of the party who assaulted; Dr. Mcintosh but for the party who j instigated the deed. u A meeting was held in Columbia the other day to ask that some of the can- j didates for governor who are against the administration get out or that some arrangement be made w hereby i the opposition could centre on one; man. The candidates didn't bite at i the bait a: all. In fact net sufficiently j to attei.-l the meeting In fact would j not such a proceeding be in violation j of the constitution of the party? If i a caucus should decile on a certain , candidate and he should accept would mrvt hp thp candidate of a faction? It is all very funny. 'Want to get rid of factionalism and yet trying to centre / on a candidate for a faction to support. What's the matter with Simms and Richards and Irhy? Aren't they pretty good men? Wouldn't any one of them make a good conservative gov~ ?x n? - i j -i.:? ^ c pernor.' we oeweve mat tue oia siny ui State would be safe by the election of any one of the candidates who has any cliance of election of whatever faction. They are all good men and patriots who would serve their State faithfully and well. Dr. Cromer issues a statement that a committtee of three has been appointed to take up the matter of plimination or of centreing on I some one. What will the others say? -offia There has never toeen any difference between Gov. Blease and Dr. Mcintosh as to the statement made "by Drs. Knowlton and Mcintosh. The statement read by Gov. Blease at the Abbeville meeting is the statement filed in his office and has the signature of Drs. Knowlton and Mcintosh. We do not suppose it ever for one moment entered the mind of Gov. Blease that the signatures would be questioned. If the signature is not genuine both Dr. Mcintosh and the governor have been imposed upon in a most outrageous manner. We have known Dr. Mcintosh for many years and we know him to be an honorable and an upright citizen and one who speaks the truth and in this case there could be no motive for sneakine anvthinsr else. He is not in politics and we ftnow him wel enough to believe that he would not make a false statement to help or hurt any one. He is not that type of man. Might it not be possible that the statement which he says was written ai the penitentiary in pen and ink was written and signed and then another one was written, which was signed by Dr. Knowlton which Mr. Earle says is the genuine signiture of Dr. Knojvlton? In any event ther eis no issue between Gov. Blease and Dr. 'Mcintosh this matter whether the signature is genuine or a forgery. In reading the statement at Abbeville the only comment made by Gov. Blease at Ab/bevillle was to speak in the most complimentary terms of Drs. Mcintosh k'unwltnn O* r-niir?p if mnlrAc a difference to Dr. Mcintosh whether or not his name has been forged, but that raises a question with some one else. As to the intimation that Dr. Mcintosh shot himself, $f it were not such a serious matter it would be too ridiculous to mention or notice. "Why s: aid tie shoot himself? The very thought is absurd. Afraid to meet Gov. Blease, [ why? Nothing to be afraid c? and besides that he nor his father before him is not built in that mould that they would be afraid to meet any one. . t only illustrates to what depths some will descend in politics when they think it will help or hurt the cause they represent. The shooting of Dr. IVIelntosh was a j very um rtunate taing ana we arc '.".ad ihat the wound is not a serious ne and hope th.it he will soon be c it again. It is sincerely to be hoped that the coward who did ii may b" ! \: apprehended and given t'.ie punishment : >ijcii a dastardly act deserves. We cannot sec w :ere it can or will i have anv effect one wav or the otn<ir . i on the senat rial race. | t ? I - : tj ( HA1UEST0> TO GET i i. SOITHKKN COAL PIEKj.. Thorn Says Kail way Plans lc?

The Southern railway has acquired i c 4.000 feet of waterfront in the Mag- J ? nolia cemetery site and will imme-1 s diately work cn the construction of j the first unit of a coal pier. Daniel j r B. Wentz and other coal operators in j ^ the Virginia fields attending the in- i ^ vestigation the senate is conducting of j ^ coal races to the Southeastern Atlantic ports say t'liey expect to avail themselves of this new outlet for their coal. Will Hasten Work. 4*I can not say just when the pier will be ready for coal," Mr. Thorn said. "However, the money for the development has been arranged for and the company will proceed with a the work as rapidly as possible. It intends to afford every facility to the | coal producers along its various lines." , As to whether the new pier would be open to coal hauled to Charleston \ on railways other than the Southern Mr. Thom said he was not fully advised, but he felt sure the Southern c would offer operators on other rail- c ways an outlet for their product. The rate from Black Mountain arid 1 adjoining Virginia fields to Charles- ^ ton is $1.40 for export coal, the same E as charged to Norfolk and other r - -si-* Ir "Kiif fho 1 Q^ poiii'.s iiuriii vl j-vixv, uui> tuvu ***. facilities lor transshipping coal at 1 Charleston have made the rate prac- ? tically useless. 1 Mr. Tnom said the late President W.
