CAPITAL NEVI (By John Columbia, May 30.?With the nea: approach of the opening of the State campaign, interest in politics doe not seem to be very much on the in crease. It appears nbw that then will be opposition in only four races Senator E. D. Smith will be oppose* by Solicitor George Warren, o: Hampton, according to an announce ment by Mr. Warren some time ago and former Attorney General Peeple: has stated in the newspapers that h< is considering making the race, hi final decision to be announced later j The present lieutenant governor !Mr. Junius T. Liles, of Orangeburg | is not a candidate for reelection, an< J it is probable that there wm be sev {eral entries in this race. Mr. Wilsoi | G. Harvey, of Charleston; Captaii Oscar K. Mauldin, of Greenville, an< Mr. Octavus Cohen, of .Charleston are announced candidates, and Mr Walter T. Duncan, of Aiken, edito of an Aiken paper and associate edi tor of the Columbia Record, ha been mentioned in newspaper dis patches. Adjutant General Moor will be opposed by Capt. A. H. Mar r?V?ant nf Orane-ebure. Commissione | of Agriculture B. Harris will b< I opposed by Mr. Jack Smith, of Col leton, now connected with, the stat department of agriculture, accordini to an announcement by Mr. Smitl some time ago. It is understood that all the stat officials, with the exception of Lieu tenant Governor Liles, will be candi dates for reelection. Under the rules of the Democrati party, it will be necessary to hav< two campaigns, one for the Unite* States senate, and the other for Stat offices. With- so few candidates ii i A- 1 i. the race, it seems a pity xo nave ja run two campaign parties throug] the state this year, and an agitatio: has been begun to have a meeting o the state committee to coiiibine th campaign. This would seem to b the part of wisdom, and, in fact, no body seems much to care. Politic I in South Carolina, so far as Stati races are concerned, is at a low ebb Of course the race for the Unite* States senate,' and the races in th various Congressional districts, ar going to excite interest. The cam paign opens on June 22, and the las day for filing pledges is on June 21 at noon. South Carolina seems about t< | secede again?and, again, with righ and justice on her side. Tha Ameri i can Legion of South Carolina re ' i i>? i.u. - -j.:? 4-U, J luses to stana ior tne acuuu ux un | national executive committee of th j legion in urging the bonus bill upoi I congress, holding that "its actioi tarnishes the honor and glory whic] the American soldier and sailor woi on the field of battle, and its action if ratified by the next national con vention, renders the further affilia tion of the South Carolina depart ment with the national organizatioi harmful to the future of thfc sail department." With this in mind, th State convention of the legion, to bi held in Spartanburg, has been speed ed up to June 15. The South Caro lina branch also holds that the mor than 600,000 men discharged fror the army with disabilities, of whou more than a quarter of a millio] were seriously disabled, and of whon only five per cent, have been care< for by the federal board for voca tional education, should receive sue] consideration as their needs demand and that the able-bodied should no demand a bonus. The national hous< of representatives yesterday passe* the bonus measure by a vote of 28! to 82, and sent it over to the senate Congressman Dominick and all th< other South Carolina representative who voted were recorded against tti< bill. Nobody.-wants to take away fron any soldier in the great world wa anything that is his due?and th< American nation today basks in th sunshine of the glory which th American soldier shed upon a storm tossed world?but the harmful effect of the bonus bill are realized am convincingly called attention to b; the South Carolina branch of th legion. Interest in Columbia now is center ing mainly in the national conven tions, the first of which, the Repub licans, meets in Chicago next weei South Carolina has a number of con tests, as usual. A prominent Repub 1" +VIA nfVior r}a T7 fVlU I Iica.il SLai-eu ilCitr one vwivi the South Carolina votes would go t Governor Lowden?but where Southern delegation vote in a nation al convention will go is about a problematical as the verdict of , petit jury, whom a woman will marrj or whether a cloud presages rain. , Everybody seems to be agreec however, that, no matter whom th Republicanes nominate, the Demo crats have got to get together an< quit reading each other out of th party, if they expect to win. Th Republicans have a normal majorit; in the United States, and the Heme crats have got to stand united t beat them. - That'Was a very unfortunate afrai v IS AND GOSSIP K. AuII.) ! I v just across the river in Lexington i county on Friday night, when Feds eral officers and Lexington county - officers, both hunting blockade liquor, j 21 fired into each other, and four were J . i wounded. One of the men was in; i i precarious condition at an early hour' f: this morning. J. W. Ott, depart-1 -| ment of justice agent; W. N. Brown, I ; railroad employee, and Willis Neeley,' s transfer driver, had gone over rep-'; J L 4. e resenting me revenue uepai uncut tu; s look after a liquor seizure. L. L. Crout, special deputy sheriff; W. F. j : Mitchell, special deputy sheriff, and ,! Alvey Drew, magistrate's deputy,1 i j were the Lexington officials bent on: -1 the same mission. Each party coni j tends that it was fired on first, and i j returned the fire. J. W. Ott, Willis i Neeley and W. F. Mitchell were shot,' i,, but none of them fatally injured, j '. Neeley was shot twice in the legs, r; but has recovered sufficiently to be - { out.' Mr. Ott had his left leg broken s; by a bullet. Mr. Brown received -1 three bullet holes in his body. His e 1 condition is still uncertain at this 1 writing. Mitchell, of the Lexington r I party, received a bullet in the right e! thigh. j -i It is a veryunfortunate occurrence, ej that two cars containing officers of ? the law, should fire into each other, ti It is evident that somebody acted too quickly?and too quick action of e this kind is liable to bring reproach r upon the administration of the law. Policeman H. N. Boykkin of the Columbia force, Tas acquitted yesc terday in the court of general sese i sions here, of murder in the killing d of a soldier in the Seaboard passenb ger station in January of this year, n Boykin'found two soldiers asleep in o; the station at 9 o'clock in the mornh. ing, and awakened them, and a diffin | culty ensued, in which Boqkin shot f, one of the soldiers and killed him. eThe case created considerable intere | est throughout the state. .The killing ? of Mr. Chaplin by a soldier while s! Mr^Chaplin was returning to his e home in Columbia along the road be| tween this city and the camp, follovtfi: ed shortly after the killing of the e! soldier by Boykin, and there was econsiderable controversy as to -1 whether the soldier, Sanders, who t killed Chaplin, should be tried in the ? State or the federal courts. The sec,i retary of war held that the soldier 5 | should be tried by court martial and t this was done. The verdict in the| - Sanders case has not yet been an-i - nouflted.

Newberry has outgrown its water supply. We saw more than a year ago that this condition was coming and tried to start in time to avoid it. In March, 1919, a contract was made with the Virginia Well and H JT _ V i? n 1* -LViacmnery company ior tne digging of another deep well. This company went to work very soon thereafter but had machinery, labor and other troubles and were unable to get the well completed" in the time contract- . ed. Lately the company has gone to work vigorously and the well is progressing right along. But it will be some time before the well can be put to service, even if everything goes well. Our people are using more water than ever before. This increased use, with the present dry weather, makes us feel that it is our duty to put our patrons on notice and to ask their cooperation. We must have water for drinking and domestic purposes. A sufficient supply must be reserved to protect our homes and property from fire. If we do not reserve for fire purposes much property might be lost that would otherwise be savecl, and in addition to this insurance rates might be increased, for the supply of water for fighting fire is one of the matters considered by the insurance companies in making their rates. At this writing the water in the stand pipe is lower than it has ever been heretofore. Your commissioners of public works are, therefore, requesting the people to aid us in conserving' the water suddIv. You can do^this by reft i fraining from watering your gardens and the. .streets* hr front of your homes, discontinuing the washing of automobiles, and in other ways. A little water saved by each home and place of business in Newberry each' day will amount to considerable and may save much annoyance in the early future. Much water is just wasted and leaking pipes cause considerable loss. We earnestly ask our people to follow the suggestions made as to saving water. Just as soon as the situation improves we shall give notice. Thanking our patrons for their assistance and cooperation, we are, Respectfully, M. L. Spearman, C. E. Summer, Harry W. Dominick, Commissioners of Public Works. ??
