CLOSE FRIEND OF 00V. BLEASE TALKS OUT. NEGRO or Font YEARS KILLS SISTER WITH GI N Says Ha U Ready ot Lead Hl» Fol lower* In th* Protection of Hi* and Their Rights. Gov. Cole L. Blease Issued a lengthy statement Thursday “to the voters of South Carolina,” in which he dtmanded of the State executive committee that it declare him the nominee of the Democratic party. He declared himself to he the represen tative of 72,000 voters in the State, a majority o fthe whole, and speaks for them in demanding action. He charges that the machinery of the recent primary was in the hands of his political enemies and that if fraud were practiced, it waa perpe trated by voters who were not his friends. In view of recent editorial expressions b ythe few papers sup porting the Governor that civil war will break out if Blease is not declar ed the nominee ,the concluding words of Gov. Blease's statement WRITES AN OPEN LETTER AFTER HE HAD FATALLY SHOT CONSTABLE BATES In Which He Says the Governor Does Not Propose to Enter a Second Pri mary, but Would Go in the Gener al Election With Nearly a New Ticket. “In case action of this executive cominlttte makdE it necessary for Gov ernor Blease «s the nominee of the democratic primary, to contest In the general election against Ira B. Jones or some other Independent candidate for governor, we have from various men of more or less prominence In politics the following state ticket sug gested to us for the Bleasltes or re gular democrats to put out. “For governor, €ole L.

A Special dispatch from Spartan burg to the State tells of a most re markable killing with a gun of one negro child by another. Tho dispatch Is as folows: Not quite four years of age and weighing only 25 pounds, Willie Lee Lindsay, son of Henry Lln^gay, a tift** gro, managed some rfiaiiner to discharge a shotgun and killed his S year old half sister, Marian Lind say, at their home on J. L. Maxwell's place at east Spartanburg, about JL.m o'clock Thursday. Willi© then sought his parents, who were away from home at the time, and inform ed them that a mad dog had killed Marian. Lindsay and his wife said the shot gun had laid under the bed unloaded and that the cartridges werq In the bureau drawer. It Is supivosed that the children took the gun from Its hiding place and loaded it. It is thought unlikely that the boy would have been able to do so alone. When found after th© tragedy the gun was unbreeched and looked as If an effort had been made to extract the empty shell Coroner John S.

A dispatch from Alke ntells of a fatal shooting at Ellenton on Wed nesday morning. Resisting arrest at tho hands of an officer, who carried a warrant for his apprehension, Adolphus Jackson, a negro, of Ellen- ten, lies dead, while the constable, Mr. Hughlet Bates, is seriously, may bo fatally, wounded. The affair oc curred at Ellenton Wednesday morn ing. It appears that the homicide arose as the sequel to an Incident some two or three days prior to the shoot ing. On Monday an officer or offic ers had gone to the home of Andy and Adolphus Jackson with a view to ar resting the former, who was charged with some minor offence ci nsiderahle difficulty was experlem - 1 in ..c''ompllshlng this end.

Last season the consumption of American coHon was 1 4,500,000 bales. This was a r-scord There is reason, however, to believe that pjractlcally as much will be used ■luting the coming season notwith standing the fact that InMa andEqypt both have larger crops than last year.

At present the mills in this country are making more money on the average tl an at any time sine© the boom of 1997. The situation is much more sound than it was then because job- oors and wholesalers have ke stocks of goods down to a handj&o mouth basis There is a theoretftal profit of $12 to $15 a bale in ootton now used in print cloth manufactur ed on the basis of 12-cent co^fon. As there s no very large suppl/^of gpods if would be comparatively easy to ad- vane© prices in case the raw mater- jai market justified it. Aside from the increase in the ac tivity of spindles and looms, which is pushing manufacturers to the limit in order to find adequate labor supply, there has been a com/ortable addition to the mill equipment of the country, with about a million spln^ dies added to the Southern mill list durng the last year, according to the Southern Textile Bulletin.
