FROM OVER THE STATE
T T I ? < ? 1 V
joe jacKson, rignt-nanaer 01
the Cleveland Naps, has returned
to his home in Greenville.
A proposition looking 'to the
erection of a theater in Anderson
has been formulated by the
extension committee of the
Chamber of commerce.
The dispensary opened at
Saint George in Dorchester
county, and by sundown had
done such a rushing business
that over $200 was taken in.
The community welfare conference,
which is to be hold in
Orangeburg during the Orangeburg
County Fair, on November
12-13 has been placed in charge
of Dr. Watson B. Duncan, and
an excellent program arranged.
Spartanburg is to have an
orchestra, not merely a collection
ot' players, but a live organized
orchestra, directed by Professor
Ross, ot Converse College. There
are at present about 17 members,'
but Mr. Ross hopes to increase
the number to at least 35.

Though about half of a necessary
2,500 Columbia freeholders
have signed the petitions for the
$500,000 bond issue for water
and sewerage extensions, many
seem to be holding back through
indifference. Very few have expressed
themselves as opposed.
Aids to navigation in Charleston
harbor ur< soon to undergo
a decided improvement, according
to a statement by Inspector
H. 1). King of tlie sixth lighthouse
district, i ne changes will
be made in the main channel

The entering wedge for paving

owners between Market and
Werttworth streets asking for
modern pavement.

decision of the judges that the
award of fifty dollars in gold he
equally divided between them.
They are Mrs. J. R. Lawrence
and A. C. Hunt.
The evident need in Greenville
for a remedial loan bank of some
kind led the directors of the
Mechanics' Perpetual Building
and Loan Association some time
since to appoint a committee the
duty of which was to investigate
the field and also the types of
remedial loan banks. This committee
has completed its work.
It recommends that a Morris
plan bank be established.
A movement is now on foot in
South Carolina for the organization
of a baseball league with a
membership of Greenville, Anderson,
Spartanburg, Columbia,
Augusta and possibly Charleston,
or one of the other towns in the
State. A campaign will be
launched within the next few
days to arouse interest in the
proposed circuit and it is prohahle
that definite plans will take
on shape at an early date.
In granting a full pardon a
few days ago to J. R. Parris, of
Spartanburg, convicted in September,
1013, of assault and battery
with intent to kill and sen
tenced to $100 or three months.
Governor Blease is quoted as
having congratulated Parris upon
being man enough to protect
his sister from a drunken husband.
"In tact," said the governor,
"I think there should be
an appropri tion made by which
the governor could a.vard Parris
a gold medal of honor f r his
action." Parris whipped his
brother-ii .w for the abuse of
Par*is' sister, who was the wife
of the man whipped.

HE F
Politics in "The Fifth.
W. P. Beard, chief "Bullmoose"
of South Carolina, claims
fn VICVD o A.1-~
ww hut v uiauc a tii|j llllUU^U Kit!
Fifth district of the State recently
and writes in part as
follows of what he learned of
things political:
"Up in the Fifth district politics
are moving up a notch or
two. This is caused by the belief
that Mr. Finley will not be a
candidate for re-election next
year. Those mentioned to succeed
him are G. W. Ragsdale of
Winnsboro, T. B. Butler and
Senator Hall of Gaffney, W. F.
Stevenson and his perennial
opponent, VV. P. Pollock of Cheraw,
P. L. Hardin and A. L.
Gaston of Chester, T. F. McDow
and J. Steele Brice of Yorkville,
and M. L. Smith of Camden.
"Mr. Ragsdale is classed as a
Blease man. Messrs. Butler,
Stevenson, Hall, Hardin, Gaston,
Brice and McDow are antiBlease.
Mr. Pollock is neutral
and M. L. Smith is kind of
'speckled.'
"Rumor has it that Messrs.
Butler, Hall and McDow are
trying to form a kind of neutral
administration society to support
'Seaboard Bill' for the United
State.^ Senate in order to get him
out ot the congressional race as
he is thought to be the most
formidable candidate and looks
like a sure winner. Things
political up there are all mixed
up and it looks like a propitious
time for some good strong
Bleasite to break into Congress,
nut if 'Seaboard Bill' enters the
race there are rocks ahead for
somebody.
"1 have just completed an
extended tour of the Fifth district
and have hoard and seen
many things, among others a
tale to the elfect that John U.
Richards and M. L. Smith have
agreed that Mr. Snjith will withdraw
from the gubernatorial
race, and enter the congressional
race and that lie and Richards
will throw their support to each
other. That is only rumor and
1 do not vouch for its truthfulness,
but it is frequently heard
in the Fifth district nevertheless.
The Trust Caused It.
Higher prices for raw jute and
the reputed absolute control of
the . price of cotton bagging in
the United States by the American
Manufacturing company and
the Ludlow Manufacturing association
are the leading causes
assigned by Secretary Redfield
to the Senate at Washington
Saturday for the big increase in
the price of cotton bagging in
late years, particularly the last
year.
The secretary said that the two
companies opened the market at
about tho same day each year at
about the same figure and any advance
or decline in prices comes
at about the same time. Each
year the secretary reported,
these two companies have been
opening the market later. As a
result dealers stated they were
afraid to import because the
opening prices of the two American
manufacturers might occasion
them great loss?
No Election in Mexico.
At the close of the elections in
Mexico Sunday the indications
were that not sufficient votes
had been cast to make the
election for President legal. It
is estimated that less than 10,000
of the 80,000 legal voters in the
republic went to the polls. The
leaders of the Catholic party, of
which Frederico Gamboa is the
nominee for president, are claiming
the election.
Will Distribute Copies.
Senator Tillman says that he
has a number of copies of the
new tariff and income tax laws,
and that he will hp criad c#>nd
copies to corporations and individuals
who may desire them it'
they will write to him at once,
Ik lore the supply is exhausted.

POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE I
IS NOW IN A SWIRL M
The political atmosphere has
begun to swirl with the plans
of the Bleasites, the Prohibition- ; 3

will oppose the candidacy of
Governor Blease for the senate,
says Sunday's Columbia Record.
Conferences of a political nature
and of considerable importance
will be held by the vaiious factions
at times during the entire
week. Interesting developments
in the politics of South Carolina
are expected and quite a number
of candidacies for various State
ollices will probably be announced.
It is stated on good authority
that a number of c< ntemplating
