ri V VOLUME LVI., NUMBER 51. NEWBERRY, S. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1920. TWICE A WEEK, $2-00 A YEA* i ?? ? PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS OF WHITMIRE TOWN ? Whitmire, June 23.?One of the most enjoyable affairs of this week was the big chicken and fish fry which took place last Thursday aft' ernoon at Boyds spring, some miles up Enoree river. You recall that this was one of those very hot afternoons of last week. When the men, about 100 in number, reaches the spring, they proceeded at once to the river and enjoyed a bath and a swimming and diving match. After this they could really enjoy the supper, which ^insisted of chickens and fish fried and stewed. The frying S1?C tuivu ens numbered 65. I don't know that they even attempted to count the fish, so you may just make this fish tale as big as you like. Then there was bread, pickles and everything else that it takes to make such a feast complete.

The attendance was small but f-hnco nrpsent were natient and at tentive listeners and there was no evidence of bitterness and good will and good feeling seemed to prevail among the candidates. Mr. Mower was not present being absent from the city and Mr. Boinest was also absent on account of the illness of his mother. The other legislative candidates were present and with the ! candidates for the senate and for ; superintendent of education and clerk of court and Mr. Rulf for coro! ner presented their claims to the vot\ ers for support.

Mitchell Palmer, attorney general, was one of a host of Democratic leaders that i passed through Chicago today en route to the national convention at San Francisco. Mr. Palmer was on a special train carrying a delegation j of 25 Pennsylvania Democrats to the convention. ; "There is no dissension in the Democratic party and none is expected," Mr. Palmer said. "Ail is ? ? , Harmony." j The attorney general refused to i discuss his own candidly, but Wari ren Van Dyke of Harrisburg, secrei tary of the Pennsylvania state com| mittee, said Mr. Palmer would enter the convention the strongest of all the candidates, with 74 of the state's 76 delegates pledged. He said Palmer would have 400 votes on the first roll call. The party included Roland S. Morris of Philadelphia, ambassador to Japan, who is on a vacation; Vance McCormick of Harisburg, national Democratic chairman in 1916; Joseph J. Guffey of Pittsburgh, national committeeman-elect, and Congressman Bruce F. Sterling of Uniontown, State chairman of the party. Tom Taggart, national committeeman from Indiana and chairman of the Indiana delegation, also was in Chicago today on his way west.

I Bright-eyed Susie, i i IABOUUT 50 PEOPLE HEAR CANDIDATES Few But Officers and Office Seekers Are Present?Chair Slips; Dove Falls. News and Courier. i Columbia, June 22.?The campaign for state offices opened here ! today under rather unfavorable auspices, the audience being composed of approximately 50 men, mostly officers and attaches of the state gov| ernment and local officeseekers. The 1 ?? ? ^1% a ma /v nrv n 4 /I _ speecues, uue tu liic uicagic aivsnu, ance, were not above the ordinary campaign dissertation, except in a | few instances. I One ripple which broke the placidity of the audience was when the chair on which was seated William j Banks Dove, secretary of state, slip: ped on the waxed floor of Craven ! hall where the meeting was^held, and J tossed him on the floor. Wilson G. Harvey of Charleston, candidate for lieutenant governor was speaking ; and Mr. Dove remarked that Mr. t Harvey generally "brought down the house." j As he left this morning for San Francisco to attend the National i Democratic convention as chairman of the South Carolina delegation, I Governor Cooper was unable to be present. Unopposed candidates who . spoke were Walter E. Duncan of Aik1 en, for comptroller general; John E. j Swearineen of Columbia, state sui perintendent of education, and B. Harris of Pendleton, commissioner I of agriculture, commerce and indusi tries. VIEWS OF BRYAN GIVEN IN ADVANCE ' Meredith and Owen Mentioned With Favor as Possible Candidates for Nomination. Lincoln, Neb., June 23.?Predicj tion that the Democratic national ; convention at San Francisco will witness fights over the peace treaty, the profiteer and the liquor issue is made in an article by ,W. J- Bryan in his newspaper, The Commoner. "The chances are in favor of ratification of the treaty with reserva\ tions and are against the profiteer ! and the saloon," Mr. Bryan declared. I "TVio nvorwlio]miner r?nnr?sitir>n f.n i,lv v. v? e -rr ? the policy of ratification without reservations is shown by the vote at the primaries," he asserted. The article also says the Democrat^ platform is certain to declare against universal compulsory military training, that the convention will have to deal with the subject of ."private monopoly," that the Democratic party will "insist upon the toilers right to equa* treatment" and that woman suffrage will be indorsed. Discussing possible Democratic candidates for the presidency, he declares that William G. McAdoo is handicapped as a candidate "by his close relationship with the president," while President Wilson himself, he says, "need not be considered." Asserting that Mr. McAdoo is also hflnHirnrmeH hv "his silence on the I..v...M.wwrr ? peace treaty," Mr. Bryan declares Mr. McAdoo is unable to call to his support "those to whom the president's candidacy appealed with special force," and he would "furnish an easy mark for all of the president's enemies." The article says, however, that Mr. McAdoo has considerable strength among wage earners. Referring to President Wilson, Mr. Bryan says that "while vague hints and suggestions have been throwfr out occasionally, no one claiming to speak for the president or near enough to him to be assumed to express his wishes has announced his candidacy." Herbert Hoover is eliminated from j the lis> c' candidates whom Mr. I Bryan considers "available," while Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Secj retary of Agriculture Meredith are i described as being "among the few I m -11- at -c? i.: j ? I eivaiiaoit: men liius iai aiciaiuucu. I To be available this year, Mr. ! Bryan asserts, a candidate must be ; known to be for woman suffrage, for prohibition and "against Wall : street." As to Attorney General Palmer, | Mr. Bryan says he entered the cam| paign in a position "to deal sternly l with the profiteer and an expectant | public stood ready to applaud, but | the profiteer seems to have things all | his own way and the attorney general is now suffering from the reac-' ! tion." ! [ He adds that the attorney general ' is unfortunate, too, "in having to i espouse the ratification of the treaty j without reservations." j Former Speaker Champ Clark is mentioned as having his own state behind him, while oDposition to Governor Edwards of New Jersey and Governor Cox of Ohio is reiterated. "Governor Cox's friends," the article declares, "will urge him as a - 1 . 1- J 1 H il compromise Detween tne wets oi ine ! Edwards type and the bone drys." I Vice President Marshall is accused of making a "feeble bid for the wet vote." ' "Judge Gerard's candidacy has South Dakota's support and he has many personal friends among other -delegates," \Mr. .Bryan says. ! RACE FOR SENATE OPENS AT SUMTER i Irby, Pollock and Warren Speak. Smith Out of State on Way to Democratic Convention. ! The State. Sumter, June 22.?Candidates for the United States senate made their initial appearance in the statewide campaign here today before an average sized crowd. Only three of the entrants w?re here, but these made ' ' fr i ... on/} + / >_ . tne nop on in swing, auu ?? night each is pleased with the gait sustained to the end of the first of the 46 laps to be run. Those who ! spoke here today were: W. C. Irby of Laurens, W. P. Pollock of Cheraw and George W. Warren of Hampton. Today's, program was augmented by speeches by the two contenders for supremacy in the Seventh congressional district, Congressman Ed C. Mann, incumbent, and H. P. Fulmer, both of Orangeburg. -..The crowd moves on tomorrow to Bishopville, the county seat of Lee.. : Senator Smith was absent, he now ' being en route to San Francisco in the capacity of delegate at large from South Carolina to the national j Democratic convention, which opens next Monday. He will be out of the j running for two weeks, this deter! mined by the duration of the conveni tion deliberations. However, SenaJ tor Smith sent a full review of his " ? upnnpress. 1 acts in tne upper uuuot which statement was read at the I opening meeting by State Senator J. C. Clifton, county chairman. No Sharp Issues. There are no sharp issues this year to chasten the soul or cause one to go out premeditatedly to whip his neighbors or refuse to speak to ! them at church because they failed to vote against some candidate. And because of this lack of partisan cleavage a somewhat general apathy prevails this summer in politics. However, speeches here today were prophetic of livelier debate than has been ^anticipated. While scarcity of building material had been most puzzling to jroung men who had visions 1 *'? MnonopfivP of providing snener xui piVQ^w?*>? June bricks, the candidates^ apparently have experienced^no "serious ha?dicap in assembling a generous array of planks of various grades of polish for their respective platforms, i Considerable debate today hinged on the alleged "wet plank" in Mr. Warren's platform, although the plank as the author proposes it can , scarcely be thought of as "damp/' I In keeping with his main contention ! that there is too much centralization of authority in Washington, so much that state rights function only in the pages of ancient history, Mr. Warren proposes to soften 1 federal restrictions in the Volstead act so as to aLlow each state to make its own regulations as to the use of liquors for medicinal purposes. .li-- fVio men in JNOW ine iictmco vx ?nv I South Carolina who are encumbered with an all consuming thirst are legion, and the thirst was not induced by the heat wave of the last few weeks. It's been gathering momentum since prohibition engulfed the many, and any man whd could give assurance that he could pry off the lid and allow "joy unrefined'* to flow once more free, might be credited with a sharp advantage, particularly when thousands cry out daily for a drink of anything that will leave its color in the cup, though it be only egg dye. But a degree of candor and the applause which followed Mr. Pollock's statement today that he would withdraw from the race if a plank to repeal the Volstead act were embodied in the national Democratic party platform force the admission that the people of South Carolina may well become reconciled to the slogan, "Raise more potatoes and less thirst." All the candidates have taken the pledge to stand on the Democratic platform and be guided by its provisions, if elected to the senate. But Mr. Pollock says he could not go against the amendment 'which has made the country .sober ' mA nrrmld tVinc crpf*. nilt of the tace. Ci 11 Vt V/UiU Vli V* h-f ^ V V V w V ?

Horton and the probability is that the rabbit market will be flooded next year. G. T. Tate and E. H. Longshore bought 210 acres of land, known as the McCord place, from W. L. Peebles, last week. The. consideration; is said to have been $6,500. (| WET PLANK TO BE MAIN | ? SHOW IS OPINION Barleson Demands Repeal of "Dras- I tic and Absurd" Provisions of Volstead Act. San Francisco, June 22.?Postmaster General Burleson's statement to- c day at San Antonio regarding Dem- c j ocratic platform issues drew particu- j : lar attention among party leaders I here for the national convention next 1 < j? 1. weeK, oecause 01 its iran*. uccmxa-1 v tion for modification of the Volstead ^ prohibition enforcement act. t Mr. Burleson's demand for repeal c of "drastic and absurd" provisions of ? the act, expressed in more direct fashion views which some of the party leaders now here pseviously s had voiced privately. Coming from j a member of President Wilson's cab- i, inet, the statement1 was regarded as J a possible intimation of the administration's attitude on the prohibition / issue before the convention. . Senator Glass of Virginia, who is due here tomorrow, is understood to , have been entrusted with a formal expression of President Wilson's (5 views as to the platform. On other j . occasions, however, the postmaster c general has been the direct spokes-' man of the president on important15 issues and Democrats here were in-!1 clined to take his expression as to the J J prohibition plank as more than aj J statement of his own views. j May Outrival League. f The preliminary convention dis-! cussion in progress here, while j ' wholly informal in character, has ^ shown a striking unanimity of opin- j ? ion on two points thus far. The first; ? of these is that the platform strug- ( gle will be the real fight of the con- F ?fv?p second, that the prohibi-jfc yciibiuu, tion plank will be the chief issue in j i that fight, outrivaling the league ofj nations declaration in interest among d the delegates. | d In the league issue, W. J. Bryan i: already is standing directly opposed r to President Wilson's views as to the i s party attitude. That dates back to! r the Jackson Day dinner when Mr. r Wilson urged that the Democrats ;c enter the campaign on the issue of ratification of the league covenant I 'without- material reservations. The i former secretary 15f state stood-just f as strongly for acceptance of the f t Republican reservations as a basis of j j ratification and in order to keep the < league covenant out of the cam- I paign. I If Mr. Burleson^s statement is to be accepted as representing the j president's views on prohibition, del- c egates said, it now was evident that r Bryan and the administration forces t were to clash over that plank in the s party platform, Mr. Bryan's views, c 1 * ?inst ! f have been know to dc ngiu^ ?, v any weakening of the prohibition! laws. There is also, it was said, a i third point on which the president [J and his former secretary might lock r horns at the convention. It was re-1 ? called that >when the president ask- s ed congress for authority to accept a t mandate over Armenia under the t league of nations, Mr. Bryan prompt- ( ly issued a statement in flat opposi- f tion to such a program. It has bcten ^ regarded as possible that the presi- < micrht seek to have the conven- ( VLWAV *...0 tion endorse his course as to Armenia j and, if so, it was said, the Nebraska leader could be expected to exert his j influence against such action. ( No Conferences Yet. | Pending arrival of Senator Glass, i Mr. Burleson and Mr. Bryan, all of ^ whom will reach the convention city j during the week, the few party lead- f ers and delegates already on the j ground have been exchanging only T gossipy comment and expressions of j personal opinion on issues to come { up. There have been no conferences s I as yet, and there is still little activi- < j ty among workers for various candiJ dates for the presidential nomination ) to distract attention from the platform outlook. WoQ^nimrfcers for John W. Davis ( I , of West Virginia were opened today 1 and the first literature in behalf of c ; the claims of candidates was put out * by his supporters. Some poster work- * for Governor Edwards of New Jersey 8 also was done, supplementing that r for Attorney General Palmer, but v ; presidential row has not as yet be- s j come even a shadow of what it will * i be or what it was during the Repubf lican convention at Chicago. In any event there is little possi- v : bility that candidates headquarters c I will take as prominent a part in the San Francisco convention as was the c i case in Chicago. The Chicago con- a I vention was unique in that respect, ^ with Senator Johnson, Gen. Wood, i Gov. Lowden and others of the active ' I contenders for the nomination in per- / j sonal charge of their camps, while Senator Harding, the party nominee i also was on the scene and shared in g ! conferences which led to his selec- 0 i The Fiitt Cotton Bloom. 1 ! Mr. John-P. Long of Silverstreet brought to The Herald and News office the first cotton of the season that H we have seen.

He said ;he ^nancial and economic condition >f the country could not be better ;han now. He said that the unrest vhich is now in evidence all over the ;ountry is merely the seething of the rauldron out of which will come the jure metal in all its beauty. Charles E.
