'"The man who held me up -was j rather small in size, will weigh from I < 125 to 135, slender build, medium J height, and, I think, was clean shav- ; enfi," said Dr. Mcintosh. "His features,! as well as I could see, were sharp.

"I was at home on Wednesday i night," said Dr. Mcintosh, "July 22, ' from about 9:30 p. m. to 1 a. m., companjy being there most of this ' time. I left my house at 1 a. m. expecting to go to the Knowlton hos- j pital. I crossed Bull street and as I did so I became aware that some one was breathing like a man does after an epileptic attack, somewhere along the west sidewalk of the 1300 block ' I of Bull street. 'I turned and walked ; {'own the sidewalk, and just at tse t gate i^iat goes into the Presbyterian churchyard I found a man in an un- | conscious condition on the sidewalk. I immediately returned to my office and phoned to McCormick's to send an ambulance at once to this point, and then returned to the unconscious man. When the ambulance came, we j 1 put tiie man in the am'buii'nce, i g.i ?;i wit'-i him and carried him to his home.

Davis sleeping quietly, n and aiter looking over his chart, I C * left the hospital on my way heme. "Just as I turned to leave the hos- 'V pital I remember taking out my watch e and looking at it and remarking to a the night nurse that it was 14 m?i- I utes to 2 and that I would gee to bed about 2 o'clock. On getting cut of )' doors I pulled off my ccar and was .2 carnying it throwr over my le't shoul- c der. 1 walked down the west side of O Marion street to the intersection of t Washington and crossed Washington ? street diagonally to the southeast cor- t ner and started down the east side of e Marion street, .lust as I almost got a to the driveway entrance of the Presbyterian churchyard a man stepped t out from behind a large tree with a , r pistol leveled full at me, and in a . t ' rather low voice said, 'Hands up!' t Instinctively I dropped my coat and r jumped for the man. My right hand caught t'be muzzle of the pistol and I a was trying to turn it to one side*and gradually force it down. TVe strug- | j' gled for some several seconds for the ? possession of the pistol and in the struggle tne man nnany gui i.ue muz,- i zle of the pistol resting against my |'p right side. He immediately pulled i I the trigger and the impact of the bill- t! let knocked me ofTmy feet. I fell on 'f; my left side with my left shoulder ,-h and head resting against the foot of ,:p the large tree just to the north of the ?v driveway. As I fell the man wrench- o T^vt^i inrvco (inH immediatelv ! CU UIO ivwwv wuv> ? j made to the church wall. He climbed , h this, I think, just at the juncture of i ?p the north side of the gate and the j tl brick wall. As he went over the fence j s . , he turned and said with an oath: ia 'Well, you won't worry Coley tomor- j r " ! >, row: I " Fired at Assailant. jfi "After I had fallen and the pistol j was twisted out of my hand, I im- e mediately tried to get my own pistol tb out of miy hip pocket. I succeeded in ! .'tting my pistol out just as the uk.ii jumped tr.e top 01 the fence and fired him, but i'eel sure 1 missed him. j I immediately lired twice more in j rapid succession, but it was more at 1 the point where he had been than j where hQ really was. As s on as ..e < hit t'.ie ground the end of the brick wall concealed him irom my view and I could hear no movement o:" his whatsoever. I then called for help 1 and far police, and then fired my pis- j tol and aft^r a pause, again calling ! between times. 1 had one extra sneii J i:i my pocket, and putting this into j tne pistol I fired one more snoi, agam calling for help. About this time peo- j pie in tlie neighborhood commenced j to rouse up. the first to arrive being Dr. R. A. Lancaster and Mr. B. F. i A:: man. "The man who held me up was j rather small in size, will weigh from j io slender build, medium! height, and. I think, was clean shaven. ; I His features as well as I c^iild see, were sharp. He was dressed in dark trousers, a dark shirt and had on a cap well pulled down over his face. The only words he spoke at all were j those related above. "I was carrying a pistol that night' because I had been conscious that for !1 ( two nig.its previous I tad been fol- I lowed while out making calls and not j knowing just what it meant I had armed myself before leaving home."

It is said that Mr. Aiken 1 :ever attends the meetings of the * mmirtee.

Mr. Dominick thought 1 hat the curse of the cotton mill own- s F rs and the operatives was tne sening .gent.

Mr. Dominick in concluding said he 11 ad a message to give from the other j art of the district. It was that every- t hing looked mighty bright in those ( ft ections of Anderson and Abbeville , f\ nd Pickens and Oconee where he had ; v ecentlv been and he expected to . j ave no second race but to win on the t rst ballot. | 0 | When ho concluded he was present- t d with a Dominick rooster and a A ouquet and a basket of fruit. Mr. j liJominuk held up ..is r.o.-ur ami >a;d 21C i.S li pit CoC'lv. F. S. Evans. The next speaker was Mr. F. S. j of Greenwood. Mr. h'vans j said he had the pleasure of making ; ins maiden speech in Newberry two j years ago. He said ae was en. racier- j izeu then as a two by four politician, j : ..e saould be elected ae would do I his best to represent the ufo;de oi l district. He said Mr. Aiken and Mr. j .bcnuiiick had p litical records and j he iiad none. He would discuss the ! political record but would not be per- | sonal. He said he di ppose the J -parcels post bill two years ago but it ! was then a different bill fr in the one ; that was made law. The bill he opi 1 osed charged the /same on a package from Xewberry to Greenwood that .t did 011 the same package from Phil .:delp~ia to Greenwood. He also opposed t'.'.e Bristow amendment for the direct election v.f United States sena- i tors because that bill proposed to ; have the election under t.ie federal J government. j He was in favor o.' federal aid for roads under an expert engineer. The ; federal government had as muc;i right * to build roads in the Piedmont as it , had to spend money to dredge the creeks and rivers in the l:iw country. !1 was a fripnri nf thp railroads. ^ but he believed that they should be regulated. He did not understand why i it would cost more to bring a car load from Raleigh, X. C. to Greenville, than it would to haul the same car from Greenville to Raleigh. He didn't think Mr. Aiken was true to the Democratic party when the greatest president the world had ever seen went to congress and asked Ue < repeal of the tolls exemption and Mr. A.iken voted against the president. A.bout twelve persons own the coast wise vessels and they are tne same people who own the steel trust. The Democratic party has always been ! igainst ship stfbsidy. ' ; Mr. Aiken opposes civil service re- j :orm. Mr. Evans said lie believed that all the rural carriers should be under ite civil service, li they are n t linger civil service they will become political machines. He didn't ihink i congressman should build up a poli:ical machine. 1 .ur. rJvans said he was making this ace on the merits of F. S.

Mr. Aiken introduced a two cent I .ate bill and yet :or the nineteen years 1 h was c.ienograpaer he had his j ycckets'full of railroad passes. In concluding Mr. Hort 11 said you ! will always find me standing by the ^ interests of the people.

He can t * mend them. Mr. Aiken asked for brief reply,' P which was granted. He said he did 11< not take the chairmanship of the Dis- { 1 trict of Columbia committee because j h his then friend Mr. Johnson, of Ken- | o tucky, asked him to let him have it t as it would help him at home in his j ^ race for governor, but afterwards Mr. | n Johnson did not run for governor. Be- 1 i sides he did not care for it as it en- ; s tailed a lot of work. He said he knew n that Mr. Dominick got his inrorma- | u tion from one James M. Baker, the j c I grandest rascai m Ao-oeviue, ana a i man whom no one in his neghbor- ; P ho d would believe. As to the pure ? food bill, Mr. Horton was partly right i h and partly wrong. He did rote against i d it because it contained certain pro- i; vs:ons he could not endorse, but j when it came back from t:e senate ; with these cut out he voted for it. h Mr. Dominick in reply said that he ..L did n-t get t\ie information from Mr. ti Baker but from a newspaper clipping s from The State, written by P. H. McHowan. That he held no brie.' for Mr. s Baker, but he would say that for 20 a years he had been an assistant libra- b rian in Washington, and had been [ elected to the highest position in the f? : en ate, that of clerk, which he thought p was sufficient answer for anything n Mr. Aiken might say. i: i ?> <8>; o * BARBECUES tl ^ rci i We will furnish a first class barebe;ue at Jala pa in Sligh's pasture 011 p rhursday, August 6, campaign day.

Sitting n- a step of one of the stairways o:' he church, his hands folded in his ap, he gravely said that he had a lessage from the Lord to deliver. His fo/her never aids him with his ermons, he said, and he himself has o idea on what he is going to preach ntil he goes in the pulpit, faces the rowd and opens his Bible. Charlie is the youngest licensed reacher in the world and :he first bean to preach about 18 months ago, lis lather savs. when he was con acting a revival meeting in Louisma. Has Message for World.
