Up to this time less than a dozen of the forty-odd campaign meetings of the candidates for the Senate have been held, but if we may judge of the general i interest in the race from that so ! far displayed. South Carolina is not apt to stage as strenuous politics this year as was witnessed two years ago. The meetings have been attended by comparatively few voters and the efforts of Mayor Jennings and Mr. Pollock to "whoop up" the boys have fallen rather flat, i Hoth of these gentlemen have had a good deal to say about what they claim is the unenviable record of Governor Blease, with now and then a shot at Senator Smith. To them the response must have been somewhat dis-; appointing, though what they j have said and doubtless will con-! linue to say may have more < lfeet on the result of the election j f ban now seems probable. Mayor j Jennings even more than Mr. Pollock is "going after" the Governor, about whom he has said some things it would seem would put the voters to thinking. So far as the published reports of the speeches indicate, Senator Smith has had little to say of any of his opponents. He apparently i hinks it better to point to what he has done and has tried to do in the Senate than to devote his s-peechesto decrying the candi uaies wno woum suceeea mm. Governor Blease is making a campaign along lines similar to those he adopted two years ago. lie hasn't devoted any time to ; pologizing tor his acts as Gov< rnor and seems to think his < lection is certain. Meanwhile, however, some of his friends are not so optimistic. The opinion *f The Times is?take it for what it's worth?that if Governor (dense is elected it will be hv the skin of his teeth. We base ibis observation on the fact that he has undoubtedly lost some friends during (he last two years and upon the probability of the new party rules as to registration closing with many of his supporters being left without the light to vote. "Have You Gone to PreM?" That is a familiar question in a newspaper office and over the telephone to the editor. If answered in4 the negative, as sometimes it is about half past three o'clock on Monday or Thursday, then the next question is, "Can't you put this piece in?" "This piece" is often an <11 ill IV >1 Vt'UIIIIII I'I HVO IOUJJ, which could as easily have been handed in two days before. It is things like this that make the newspaper man's life n burden and turns Ins hair gray before its time. The average person seems to think that "pieces" are put into the paper with a coal shovel, and that it is no use handing them in until just before "going to press." In fact if they had a foiirth-of-.Iulv speech or a long ivjiort of a school closing to go in ihey^wouM think it ample lime if they got it to the office I A at 3:39 and would expect to see j it in the paper on the streets at1 precisely four o'clock. It takes time to set up things, even on the linotype, and if anybody has anvthincr to sro into the paper let him get it to the office just as soon as he can ?the sooner the better.?Newberry Observer. Sign Protocol for Peace. This morning's news from Niagara Falls said that terms for composing all internal difference between the United States and Mexico had been concluded. The conditions under which diplomatic relations will be resumed were embodied in a protocol signed Wednesday night by the Ambassador from Brazil, the ministers of Chile and Argentina and the American and Huerta delegates. Coincidental with this action it was announced that the actual selection of a provisional president and the organization of the new Government, will be left to an informal conference of representatives of the Constitutionalists?Luis Cabera, Rafael Zubaran and Jose Vasconcelos?and the Huerta delegates to the mediation conference. /] Wounded by Pistol Shot. Will Irvin, a colored laborer on the plantation of Mr. J. P. Stronn spvprjil milps north of Fort Mill, was taken to a Charlotte hospital Monday afternoon for trentment for injuries he received Sunday night in a difficulty with Walter Edwards, also colored. Edwards used a pistol on Irvin, whose injuries were considered by the attending physician as very dangerous. The cause of the difficulty between the negroes was not learned. A Young "Mother" Hen. It is something unusual for a young hen, a pullet in fact, which has never set and hatched, to assume the motherhood of a i brood of chicks, but such has been the case at the home of 1 Henry Brown, colored, accordI ing to a story told The Times by l Brown. The young pullet was | hatched out in March and is in ; fact not yet old enough to lay, ; but when the mother of a brood I of six chicks died some days ago the pullet took charge of the i biddies and has since hovered them and performed the other functions of a real mother hen. Expecting Big Fair. With the chartering of the York County Fair association and the actual work of constructing the buildings on the grounds the interest in the approaching fair is steadily increasing. Several committees are hard at work on details of the various flenartmpnts nnrl nv*?rv olVnrf will he made to make the fair next fall a big event., not only in York. ; but surrounding counties.
