I have come t)o the conclusion hat )olitics is fattening. 0Iie Jancs. perm'arcnt chairman. is bnzzer than l'ueker Meluett and can go bear hunt n with his fist any day. Our own enator Smith has put on considerable lesh since his election. A betttr fed and better lookini erowd was never. asembl)eu and it seeiec] to me thatI !kearyiv un-half of the crowd were adie- and they were alright. in the firs:. place the majority of them were for Wilson and didn't. mind letting it be known. and then they were very -leasant to look at diring the long lours when roli-call fohlowed rolil-call with very little result. Bt thi tnoression of great size dia nt end with the phystcuica characteris ics: there was an imprl)ession also of a reat battle between great inen. The onvention would take the measure of _ man in the first half doren sentences nd if he did no muea-ure up they wonia have none of him There were I nmbereof men in the convention eu tttled to be called great. There were a number to whom the convention would listen-men wiho Iy sheer force ,f intelk-ct and persouaiity commanded mad secureat respect. But there w'as me ma~n in the conventionl who towerea above all1 o:hers, a dominant, powerful, ompel:ng personality: who never ilacatedl. asked ro favors. fought tooth nd nal against the bitterest opposition ad won after defeat. I refer, of course, o William Jenuings Bryan. The prevailing desire when the con ention o;-ened was ic peace and har' ony. Bryan mad-si the tight for the ecntlorar'y chairmanship1 and lost, and he mees of the convention looked t each other and wondered at what hey had done There was a very gen ral fear that Mr. B:-yan would bolt. here was also a very general fear that awould seek the rnomination for him elf. Andi I think a mfajor'ity of the cnvention thoulght tnat either course ould be fatal to the parts s success. And so Mr. Bryan was given a promi at nositton on the Platform Commit ee, 'harmony was restored and we :oved rneacefully along. Clark got a majotriz . of thie votes and his election wemed'assured and Mr. Bryan threw nother hi nb-shell in the shape of his .11-o a-Ra-Blmn Resolution u: the coinventionl fairly buzzed like a dir of au r bees. As far as I could uenmysection of the hall the nrotion wa condemneV' as uinspacriugly vx thie.Wil.on forces as by those of the x rea:iates, andI several of our iea .ion ..ould nave voted against, th uin asu uwise and a net dl'ess .lh hu. ior theC itct that we t'eceived1 * rd fon Virginia that they wished bre'uin catirried, as a helief of a i::ro of the pat tie-i by these forces woud be fatal1 to their- interests in Vir inia. This caused us to take notice. and when New York voted solidly for the resoluction wh Iilchendemnfed the Belmonts who wetre meombers of the Newy York delegation we began to see what Ryan on the :iour :as a mnember of the Virginia delegation ana Murplay, boss of the New York delegation, saw at once- and that was that neither the con venti on rnor any of the delegations couUd aford to pttthemeles'c (on rectorat aainnst the :.~olution Whnen c1r iBvan c:ane to the piatfornm tihe second time for tne purp'ose cit withdrawacg the latter piortioni of the resol utio, which was in e:Teet to eject IUyan ant Bemount as idelegates. there "was pro arb y the most dratite situat tionI duing 'he entire convetion.

[t. wa-. eburged then, and is stil. that .e. BIryan Was simiply eideavoring to ser've his own ends by tying up the con vention. This may be so, but I cer tainiv agree with Mr. Ciark. that Brv.an defeated him. I do not think that by his course he couvtrted inany men i'Om Clark to Wilson. but I do be ieve that he put strength in the back bont of .nant a man who was at heart for Wilsou but wn'i being led and voted for Ciark by the politicians in the resnective ieegations. For. !ook at th4:1gures as you may, if theprove anything they prove this fact. that. Cark's support was the SUP S po-iticians. Wilson's support w te support of individual men, the cornmou citizen. the non-politial mem bel of thle delegations who saw in him theIr opporttunit,y to vote for an ideal. The ouitook for. Wilson was desperate on mori titn one occasion. I will give yIou soiue gossi that I have not seen in the papers. A Wilson man who was al opeLrator was preparing to leave about, eleven o'e!ock Saturday night i for\ Washigton. He steppred into.a telgrah olice and heard a niessage I comIng o':er' the wires to the effeCt tha. Clark had left Washington for bdTth.te. This information he car id to '11'r. Bvau. and at the lirst poi1 W moment. Congressman Palmer of l'Lnylvania, iioor manuger of the Wi't foces, nioved to adjourn and tis a ried. It was claimed that I Lhe obj.et of Speaker Clark in coming U to Daitimore was to make a ringing i speeC'n hefore tne convention denoune in;.,r Bryan and defending himself from Grxan's attack in the hope of stmpi-, 1n the convention fur him. 1 Butt \Ir. Clark got to Baltimore a few I mfl' t':s after the convent-ion adjourned, ;o cou:d Jn.,. .ve out an interview to .he ).rs which appeared along with H :.e ftrom M:. Buya the next day and l w.t stampede Monday. As S thsw simpiy gossip, but It o *un:d like it might be true, and Ii fo:- oneO anm glid that the convention t adjourmed before Clark arrived. t It was a Lreat convention and there f as a confident feeling throuliout the convention tbat, its nominee would be president. and I do believe that this feeling was more pronounced after the 1 nomination of Wilson than before. e I nteeve we have an ideal candidate. I do not, vet believe that Mr. Roose velt will run, but whether he runs or ( not .e result will be the same-a Dem- E 'erade viewrv by a man who was nom- 1 iated without aid, dircct or indirect, u Wall Street influences and orer the appositiou of the politicians of his party. A man who has compelled the a conddence and respect of the average S voter. THE COMMITTEE'S JUNKET. South Carolina's dispensary I investigating committee was to have held its investigating ses- I sion in the city of Augusta, Geor ia, last Monday to receive the j statement of Col. Thomas B. Fel- j der, the man who has been fill ing up the newspapers for the past two years with all manner e of threats of exposure of Gover- c nor Blease, but who, up to date s has exhibited himself to be little t removed from a howlhng bluffer; t if Felder knows anything he has i kept in from the public, notwith s standing the fact Governor p Blease has constantly maintain- t ed that he has evidence which should conviet Felder of beimgt guilty of crime. The committee :ould not get Felder to come to i South Carolina with his story, so i it agreed to go to Felder's home State, they are anxious to hear from this man now-the cam- 1 paignl is on. CBut it did not suit the convenience of somebody to I have this muich advertised hear ing last Monday, and therefore some other day will have to bei arranged. We cannot see by whati authority the committee under-j takes to junket beyond tihe bor dr's of the State to take testi-i mony, and especially so, at the expense of the State, and we are ertain its trip to Charleston to look into the washing of the dirty 1 linern in that city. merely at th 1 suggestion of a person whose 1 disappointment has made him desperate to rule or ruin, was without legal right, and a misap popriation of the public funds. SUPPOSE STUBBS WAS PAID? The Sumter Item of yesterday 1 editorially says that the father I of Eugene Hogan claims that he 1 paid Col. W. G. Stubbs of Sum ter' S100 for his services in secur- 1 iug a parole for his son. If Col. i Stubbs r-equred pay for his ser- 1 vices it is no0 more than lawyers will require for a similar ser-vice. We do not k-now what there is mn the story, but assuming it to be true, we can see no high crime1 or' misdemeanor in Stubbs re quiring pay for his services in behalf of the young man under sentence. Stubbs is a member of 1 the Governor's staff, and n o) (oubt the representations h1 e< made for the parole of the young man was listened to by the Gov ernor but, if we rcmember- the case, the controlling intluence to scure the release of young Ho gan was the prosecutor's attempt to extort money .tromi the elder Hogan. Our recollection is that Zeigler the prosecutor, made a I written demand upon the father of Eugene Hogan for money, as a condition of his joining in an anneal to the Governor for a padon: this wiritten demand fr-om the'executiv~e oflice. Therefore the chtarge that Walter Stubbs received'pay fur hits service in the matter' amounts to nothing~ one way or another. Thler'e is no cha'ge that Stubbs div'ided this, money with the Governor, 0r that thte Glovernor had any know ledge of .Stubbs' financial interes~t i the transaction. There is muchi ado being made because the South Carolina del e!aton stood ont for Wilson t hroutghout the enitire 413 ballots The South Carolina delegationi wile not instructed fur Wilson by the conven'Ction, were prac-ti c0lly instructed by the r'esolu tin 'vttent through by the worki i J.lWard Ragsdale. of Flur 'nee an-'od whieb- he is work~in frllof his worth im his con he 6th disttrict against lHon. J. 1-: i-lere We have no doubt' satih un'' ruse had much to do *'t cig the dteetationl sol THE STATE CAMPAIGN MEETING There was a tremendous crowd biere last Wednesday, many com ng from long distances, some from the nearoy counties. It was in over enthusastic crowd but ts conduct is deplored sincerely. It would be unjust to place the blame upon either faction, for moth sides were wrought up to a igh pitch, and both sides acted >adly. The speakers for t h e ninor offices received a fair hear ng from their audience, b u t shiie they were addressing the people many were walking about .vaiting for t h e gubernatorial ;iants-the greatest interest was ii candidates Blease and Jones. Long before the meeting open m both of these gentlemen were urrounded by their admirers. nd each received flattering en :ouragement. County Chairman \. J. Richbourg presided, but he ost control of the crowd as soon s Judge Jones was introduced. 'here was cheering and counter heering,. and it was some time efore J udge Jones could begin is remarks; his f r ie n d s in at empting to drown t h e voices aised for Blease, only added to he tumult. Had the chairman aken a firm hold upon the loud anged element, and given it to ,nderstand that lie proposed to ave an orderly meeting or none .t all, perhaps conditions would ave been different. The noisy nes which was composed largely f boys, who were having "a big ime." would have subsided had he chairman gotten a tirm grip rom the beginning, but when he id not, the tumult grew from ad to worse until it was next to opossible for him or any one Ise to stop it. Judge Jones endeavored to uiet the crowd and, in this Gov rnor Blease endeavored to aid Lim by coming forward to ask or a respectfull hearing for his pponent, but neither could do nytbing, the Judge made his peech however, under the great st of difficulties, and while he vas speaking hurrahs for Jones, vould bring forth hurrabs for lease, until it became such a ivalry between the two, that b was almost impossible for udge Jones to be. heard many eet away from the stand. The udge finished his speech and vas applauded lustily. Governor Blease tried for sev ral minutes to address t h e rowd, every time he undertook to ay something there was a per ect bedlam of noises. He stood here awaiting for the subsid og of the terrific sounds until he aw that it would be almost mir ,culous for him to speak, so he ook a hand primarily of his sup )orters made his bow, and left he stage. In this we think he cted discreetly, for had he re aained standing much longer it s our opinion, he might have >recipitated trouble. His friends >revailed upon him to address e voters in the afternoon, and, ,fter dinner he went to the court iouse to be greeted by several tundred, but instead of making ,speech he merely announced hat he was informed the Mayor iad issued an order, and that he eared if he attempted to speak t might cause trouble, and be ng the Chief Executive of the tate he would not like to cause >r precipitate unpleasantness and nvolve his friends, he then re urned to the. hotel, and some ime later he accepted an invita ion to join some friends in an ~utomobile ride to Sumter. With regard to the Mayor's or [er Governor Blease had been isinformed. Mayor Bradham leplored the happenings of the lay, and had the Governor at empted to speak in the afternoon ie would have done his utmost o see that he had a respectful udience. We can understand iow the governor could have >een misinformed about this mat er, there were a number of ~reatly excited and wrought up eople, many of them making in liscreet remarks on the streets, Lud some in their anxiety, be. ieving the Mayor is not a sup orter of Governor Blease, jump id to the conciusion that lhe was n sympathy with the disturbers, >ut in this they were unjust to iin. Mayor Bradbam regardless >f his personal political 'prefer mncc would have esercised his >fice in an impartial manner. ome may ask why he did not ;top the disturbance in the morn ng"? We answer, that the coun v chairman of the meeting had &le charge, and did not call for ;he aid of the town authorities, 1ad he done so they would have issisted him, notwithstanding ,his, the Mayor and somec of the :ouncilmien were on the grounds, tnd together with the police did shat they could to~urge the peo >e to give speakers a respectful mearmng. Thre~ is nio imau in Ciareiidon ounty who feels more mortified it tihe turn out of things than les the Mayor of this town, and n this feeling lhe is joined by the nembers o f the counci K We make ;his statement because it is due bese gentleomen. and we feel sat stied that had the unfortunate t i a i r beea pr-operly h andled 'romi the beginning, Clarendon would not be forced t > suffer the lumiliation of having been dis :orteous to the Governor of Southu Carolina. and the other zentlemen of the camnpaign party. We have beeni living ini Man iig many years, in fact, the best ears of our life has been spent ~itch this people, it is the very irst time we have ever known' ;isitors to be mistreated. We reel humiliated, our sense of prpe conduct has been outrag .d. but we sincerely hope the de lorabe attTair will soon be for ottiIn, andi thiat our p-ole wvill Profit 1fromi the miser-able les-on. 'n tis connection we wish to thank the correspondent of the News and Courier, Mr. S. E. Boney, who realized the condi tions, and who appreciated the feeling of the vast majority of Clarendon's fair minded people for his very fair and impartial account as it appeared in Thurs day's issue of his newspaper. We shall also state that had we been present when the Governor told the crowd of the information he received with regard to Mayor Bradham we would have been only too glad to disabuse. his mind of it, because we know of our own knowledge that his sense of fair play would have re volted at conniving at such an outrage, and too, his conduct upon the grounds contradicted such information. The first inti. mation of what the Governor said with regard to the Mayor reached us tLrough the columns of the News and Courier. Under excitement people will do and say things they would not do, and say ordinarily: the Gov ernor regarded himself harshly treated, he no doubt was not in an amiable frame of. mind, be sides, as is frequently the case, friends become apprehensive, and under the excitement ran to him and told him much which bad its foundation in imagina tion, but he knew some of these men, they are his friends, and he had reason to believe what they told him, hence there is to be consideration for an indiscreet remark, or a sharp answer from a man in these circumstances. He s of flesh and blood as we are. The supporters of either of the -andidates are enthusiastic, and aften are indiscreet in their re marks to one another, there is no need, it is absolutely senseless for neighbors to fall out about ither of the candidates. our ad vice is for every man to make up bis mind as to his choice and act pon it. and when approached in on offensive manner to decline to be dragged into an argument. GONZALES DESERVES RECOGNITION. If any single individual is en itled credit for the Wilson nom ination it should be given to Captain W. E. Gonzales, editor f the Columbia State. In and out of season he kept the fires of Wilson enthusiasm at a glow, when the cause seemedgone Gon 6ales fougbt the harder, and al bhough he was not chosen a del egate to the convention he went to Baltimore, counselled with the leaders, and was one of Gover nor Wilson's most trusted friends. [f South Carolina is to be recog nized at all, and President Wilson aoes not invite Gonzales to a place in his cabinet we shall al ways think he should. Roosevelt's convention h a s been called to meet in Chic'ago August 5th. The call is signed by a number of Republicans, and three Democrats, among whom are Julian Harris, of Atlanta, a son of Joel Chandler Harris. There are also among the sign ers a number of prominent news paper editors and owrners. Roosevelt's new party ought to be welcomed by the managers of the Democratic party, it can only draw from the Republican ranks, which should make the success of Wilson and Marshall the more certain. Teacher's Scholarship. Your attention is hereby directed to fact that there is a vacant Teacher's Scholarship in the South Carolina Un iversity. Examination will be held at the court house on July 12th, to deter mine the winner. The total money value of the scholarship is $158 a year. This is an excellent chance for some young man who desires aid in obtaining an educatson. The winner of the scholarship will he expected to teach a certain length of time after graduation. The time is now short and every young who has any am'bition in this direction should make the effort. Every reader of this article should see that some young man of your acquaintance has his attention called to it. E. J. BROwNE, County Supt. Ed. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Clarendon.

C Woodrow Wilson has been Nominated for President of the United States. on a progressive democratic platform with the chances for his election more favorable than any democratic nom inee in the past fifty years. It is needless to say that this house is a believer in the progressive idea. for that has been our platform for more than A uarterofaCentury and to that probably, more than anything else, is attri butable the success which we have achieved. We are al ways looking ahead in the interest of our patrons, and have been fortunate in saving them many dollars by the exercise of judgment. We were fortunate in contracting for our Bagging this year as soon as the market opened and already have saved many dollars by the transaction which our friends will share the benefit of, and all our . information is to the effect, that the market is going higher. We have arranged our contracts so that we can ship Bagging and Ties in Small Lots; not less than 5 rolls bagging or 5 bundles of ties, direct from the factory at the same rate that we would have to pay for car lots and thereby save our customers the 16ca1 freight from Sumter to their nearest station,'and we are now prepared to make contracts for shipment the latter part of this month, sooner if necessary, payable October first, where our offerings consist of New Jute Bagging all weights. Secondhand Jute Bagging, 2-lb. opily. Sugar Sack Bagging, 2 and 3-lb. Nw andard New Arrow Ties. New Jute Bagging is put up in 50 yard rolls. Second hand Jute Bagging in 30 yard rolls. Sugar Back Bagging is put up in 30 yard rolls, 10 rolls to the bale, but we cannot ship less than a bale from *he factory. Where a bale of Sugar Sack is too much for one party two or three sould buy it together. we would consign it to one of them, and divide the charge as desired. Don't send us orders for Secondhand ties, we do not handle them. Prices furnished on application. Do not delay plac. ing your orders, there is nothing to be gained by waiting. 3 8SUMTER, S.
