THURSDAY. JUNE 2.r>. 1914.
The Senatorial Campaign.
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.
