( WalteHbor , July 1'.J.?The shooting ' < 01 Dr. J. H. Mcintosh in Columbia; , this morning was used as a direct example of the disregard for law by several candidates for State otlices in I < i tae meeting held today. The speak-;> ers thrilled the audience wita state- j j ments in favor of strict law enforce- J < l ment and at :ew meetings have such , j declarations been more warmly re-! ! ceived. A respectful hearing was ; given all candidates by 40 citizens of < Clletou county, aiui only once did j < th?? audience become party to a dfts. j ] tussion. This was when A. W. Jones I and James A. Summersett, candidates j ; l'or comptroller general, engaged in; ( a contest o1.' sharp epigrams of a per- J) sonal nature. A hand primary was r taken in which Mr. Jones was winner. ! 1 From the point of view of applause j i Mendel L. Smith, candidate :or gov- ( ernor. wen the day. The audience, i on the whole, lowever. was undemon- t strative, but took interest in all 1 statements concerning the race for i the United States senate. On the vol- i rme of cheers the audience was anti- c administration. ^ The meeting was c illed to order at 10:30' o'clock bv D. L. gmith. acting'' j county chairman, under a large oak jJ tree in an open 1 t near the court c house. The Rev. J. \V. Wolling of- 1 fered prayer. ( Geo?rge W. Fairey, C. D. Fortner, ' Frank W.

James uansier uas nuu joined the party because of sickness. 6 Mr. Witherspocn came out in favor of the "Jim Crow" law in answer to 1 d challenge of one of bis opponents. 1 He stated that he was not going to J inject in his race the question as to * how he stood on the senatorial race. 1 hut that he would be gl/i to give the N f in.'forma:ion in personal conversation.

Bethea, candidate for ^ lieutenant governor, spoke feelingly ^ of the sj.oting :ray in Columbia in which Dr. Mcintosh was wounded. t From this he developed a strong at- . tack on the disregard for law. '.Mr. l Bethea was given two bouquets. William M. Hanier also spoke of , the s. ooting of Dr. Mcintosh, giving ? the information that the wound was s not serious. J. A. Hunrer called at- j tention to the necessity of educating r the white people in order to prepare them against tbe increasing competi- c tion of the negro. He was given a T bouquet. l B. Frank Ivelley said that he was in favor of liberal appropriation to tie ! country schools in prefereL.-e to col- ] leges. A. G. Brice, candidate for attorney * general, made his usual attacks on < the administration o\ Thomas H ( Peeples, who was absent because of c sickness. A. W. Jones, candidate l'or reelecti n as comptroller general, in reply 1 to the charge of "a1 voritism," said r Ur.4. tn rin with the L ma I 11U uau - ? .. _ _ collection of delinquent penalties, but c tbat it was in the hand of the county 1 auditor. He referred in this matter " to t'.e cases ih Saluda and Edgefield f counties. In answer to other charges 1 of James Summersett, he asked his opponent what he had to do with the c pardon board and the pardoning of ; more than "900 buck niggers." He took a hand primary and many hands ' went up in bis favor, as against only 1 a few for his oppcnentfl He was given a bouquet. James A. Summersett in rebuttal charged that Mr. Jones had held the j * office too long. He said that an'J equalization b-ard of five as recom- i mended by Mr. Jones would do a - ly 1 with local representation in the mat- * ter of taxation.^ At this point Mr. .Tones objected and the audience enjoyed the sharp answers and replies of the rival candidates. J M. C. Willis read an indorsement c from Col. Julius E. Cogswell of Charleston. The part of it follows: "In view oi the disastrous conditions now i obtaining in the National Guard un- , der its present management the ap- < palling shortage of serviceable equip- j ment amounting to over$10,000 and i the many other shortcomings report- 4 ed by the United States war depart- i ment, I feel that it is very necessary < that the people of the State should 1 tvIopo. into this imnortant office somen ? one who is competent to bring the j organized militia back to the stand- ] ard required by the war department " ; f H" then uv'iit ini;) ih'- conditions of j !
