Thursday, July 14, 1910 = Unless more interest is taken ie politics in this county, there is no1 likely to be any campaign meetings asked for by the voters. The streets of the city have beer .washed considerably by the recenl heavy rains, and some work done oc them at the worst places would be appreciated. 4 The cotton mills not only in Soutb Carolina but .throughout the countrj are curtailing by shutting down foi two week? or more, and it is to be hoped that this action will result ir increased prices for goods. The mills ought to run only about three-fourths time when they do start up, and il this was followed generally the decreased production would soon create a better demand for goods and like wise higher prices. ; '$ The Spartanburg Herald is to Issue a special veterans edition on August 17th, and it expects to print a fac simile of the ordinance of secession with a sketch of each pf the signers The members of the secession convention from Barnwell county were: Lewis Malone Ayer, Jr., (father ol Hartwell M. Ayer, now of Florence) W. Perroneau Fin ley, Benj. W. Lawton, D. F. Jamison and J. J. Brab ham. Mr. Brabham was the father *. of Messrs. H. J., C. R. and W. M. I;' ' / Brabham, of this city. If any of our readers can furnish us with a sketch of either of these gentlemen for publication in this special : edition, we shall be glad to get it. |k;. Several daily newspapers of the State issued extra editions last Tuesday afternoon, giving an account of the prize fight, as well as base ball results in all the leagues. This was a fine manifestation of journalistic enterprise. Two of these extra editions came to our notice, those of the Daily Piedmont at Greenville and the I ^ -Record at Columbia. Both were issued a few minutes after the result was announced, but Rutledge McGhee says his extra was in the hands of h howling mob in front of his X office three minutes after the last news was wired in. That's going some, but those who know him expectecK nothing else, for he is a hustler all the while. He is maKing a great success of the Piedmont, and deservedly so. At our recent visit to Cedar Springs Institute, the State institution for the education of the deaf, * i ' dumb and blind, nothing impressed us more than the gymnasium exhibition. The exhibition given under / direction of the lady instructor in this department would have done credit to professional athletes, and we were greatly impressed with the physical development and healthy looks of the pupils. In his remarks Supt. Walker said that special attention was paid to the physical development of the children, as the infirmity of the body which caused deafness or blindness would assert itself if especial pains was not taken with the health of those affected. The thought came to us that physical 1 culture should be taught in every public school in South Carolina, for there is no question but that the v white race is getting smaller and weaker physically as a rule. We know of no more lmyunauL wum that the newspapers could take up just now than the agitation for physical culture being taught intelligently in every public school. The health and development of our children should be of great importance, and we trust that this idea will meet with the approval of the press and thai * agitation along this line will begin, , / i , i . . i In a letter sent out to the newspa' pers of this State, Rev. J. L. Harley, of the anti-saloon league, speaks of the "subsidized liquor papers." It is news to us to know that any newspaper in South Carolina is subsidized in the interest of liquor houses, and it is but simple justice to the craft that Mr. Harley should name the newspapers he refers to. It is not just or brave to make such a fling at the newspapers generally. Be man enough, Mr. Harley, to say exactly the paper or papers you mean, and when you do be sure you have the proof of the serious charge you make. Undertaker Guilty. t Columbia, July 7.?me special * committee of the South Carolina | Funeral Directors and Embalmers' Association, sitting yesterday found , D. F. Collicut, a local undertaker, guilty of violating the code of ethics of the association in advertising . prices in the newspapers and of "un professional conduct." He was- fined ? $10 on the first charge and the sec^ ond charge was held open. 5 . There is a section of the constituj tion which provides that a member * of the association cannot be expelled unless he be found guilty of three 1 charges. Should he ever be charged i and found guilty of the violation of > another rule of the association he will " be expelled, according to a member . of the association. The section yesterday was an ad. journed meeting of the Greenville L convention. The charges were made at the annual session of the associa5 tion in Greenville, and the committee was ordefed to make a further investigation. s i Under the charge of unprofessiont alism he was charged with burying i two bodies in one coffin and collect> ing the burial charges for two bodies from the county. There was much testimony presented at the meeting 1 in substantiation of the charges. Those Pies of Boyhood. How delicious were the pies of boyhood.

Recently I stepped into a farmer's barn and looked about. The harness was thrown on the hall floor in a " promiscuous heap. The saddles were ' over in a corner, and I noticed the mice had been working on them. A curry-comb and brush and three horse blankets lay nearby. The hallL way seemed to be a general "catch " all." I even noticed a' hatchet and ! saw lying loose, and several halters were stretched across the floor. The owner of all this material was as slovenly with nis farming as with | his barn. There was no air of prosperity about his place. A short time afterward I was in the barn that belonged to this man's neighbor, and it showed a different triaTr Tho nn-npr sppmed to have a place for everything. In the hallway were the harness, but each hung on its own peg. A box near the stalls contained brush and curry-comb. At 1 one end of the hallway I found a minature workshop and bench, and every tool was in place. Horse-covers i and halters hupg on nails in their corners, and everything about had the appearance of neatness. Needless' to say, it was a prosperous, up-todate farmer who owned this barn. < Everything about the place showed the touch of his skilled hand. You shall know the farmer by his works. Order and system save him time and money. Everything about his barn should have its place, and whenever not in use there it ought to be found.?Exchange. Union Woman Killed. Union, July 9.?Mrs. Sallie B. Kelley, wife of T. Elize Kelley, was f killed at 2:15 this morning by the northbound passenger train No. 41 in front of her residence on East Main street. Mrs. Kelley had been in ill health for the past five years and her condition has been most critical for the past several days. It is thought that she was temporarily mentally unbalanced at the time of her death and that she wandered on the track as the train came. Mr. Kelley missed his wife about 2 o'clock and went in search for her through the house. 3h? 1 nrtt ha fminri? and he continued V/VU1U UW vv W? ! his search in the yard, but still could not find his wife and shortly after1 ward Mr. Smith, a near-by neighbor, ' discovered her body, which was bad' ly mangled, lying partly on the rail1 road track. t i I The Denmark Realty Company is i delivering the goods.

(Continued from first page.) made a rattling good speech, clearcut and definite, on the issues. Hyatl had taken his idea of having agriculture taught in the public schools. H< discussed equalization of taxation anc the tax dodger. Favored local option ana maae a siruug yiescuiauuu yi his position on this question. McLeod really made one of the besi speeches we have heard in a Ion? time, and no synopsis could dc it justice. He made a good impres sion and received applause. Jno. G. Richards, of Kershaw, alsc made a strong, sensible speech. He is a farmer, and could not cope, he said, on the stump with trained lawyers, but his hearers thought otherwise when he finished. He told ol his legislative record in an interesting way, discuBsed the equalization 01 taxation, and prohibition. Said he was the only original prohibitionisl candidate, as all others at some time had favored local option. It was the opinion of many that Richards would make a mighty fine governor, and although it was fearfully hot in the court house and the meeting had beer long and tiresome, many were sorrj when his time was up. He received applause. Cole L. Blease, now mayor of Newberry, is running for governor ai usual. He did not make a red-hoi speech like he usually does, but was quiet and not sensational in his remarks. He devoted most of his time to speaking of his ties to Bamberg by sorrow. Let well enough alone was his position on the whiskey question. Said a newspaper had stated that the question of taxation had nol been intelligently discussed, but this was false. He had discussed it, and any three men could judge as tc whether he had not discussed it as intelligently as any man in the State except A. W. Jones. He would qui! the race if any three men would nol say so. John T. Duncan, of Columbia, made a rambling speech, which we could never catch the drift of somehow. He said there was a system in Columbia headed by Gonzales which wanted tc rob the State of two millions of dollars on the asylum deal, but he blocked them. The burden of his speech was this "system," but he did not mention any other specific instance except the asylum matter. The candidates for congress were to speak next. J. F. Byrnes sent a letter saying he was detained at courj in Barnwell, and the letter from Congressman Patterson, published ir another ""column, was read. C.- W Garris, of Bamberg, who wants the senatorial toga, was introduced. He stated that he would not detain the crowd long, as the hour was so late and everybody tired, but in his -shorl address he gave the boys something to think about. He discussed the tariff, and said if the tariff was tanen off cotton manufacturing (whicfc was about forty-five per cent) everj spindle in this country would shul down and six million operatives would have to go back to the farm1? Would never vote to take off this tax unless the tax was taken off every article used by the farmer in making cotton. Wanted good roads built by the government instead ol public buildings, as they would do the people more good. He gave some interesting figures in regard to roads in this country and England and the comparative cost of hauling per ton. Mr. Garris discussed these questions in an interesting and intelligent way, and demonstrated his ability t'c worthily represent the second district. He was liberally applauded. The meeting then adjourned, after a session of about four hours. The crowd listened to the candidates attentively, and were liberal with applause to all of them. Mr. Richards made a good hit when Mr. B. F. Folk inquired if he was married, for he replied that he was and believed he had done more for his country than his questioner, for he had eigni daughters and one son. Of course this article cannot begin to be a synopsis of the speeches. It does not claim to be, but we want to say in all candor that as a whole we were well pleased with the candidates and their speeches. There was less appeal to passion and prejudice, issues were discussed, and there seemed to be better feeling among the candidates than any campaign we have noted since 1890. May it continue this way until the end of ths campaign. Of course a few of them belittled their opponents and talked a lot of rot, but the number was few. A Case of Necessity. A weary guest at a small and not very clean country inn was repeatedly called, the morning after his arrival, by the colored man o' all work. "See here!" he finally burst forth, "how many times have I told you I don't want to De canea: i warn lu deep!" "I know, suh, but dey've got to hab de sheets, anyhow. It's almost eight o'clock an' dey's waitin' fo' de tableclof."?Harper's Magazine. v'.. -.V . ' J _ . LYON ROASTS OPPONENT. Attorney General Takes Up One by One Charges Made by Evans. Aiken, July 9.?Chairman D. S. t Henderson called the meeting to or der at 10:15 to-day. Dr. J. B. Tray; wick offered prayer. The weather is I fair and warm, but it is pleasant in , tne court nouse, tnrougn wnicn a L* mild breeze is blowing. Mr. Blease and Attorney General t Lyon joined the party to-day. The ; candidates for attorney general were > given 30 minutes each. About 300 persons, including a score of ladies, are in attendance. ) Recess will be taken at 2 o'clock for i dinner. i A sensation was sprung when - Chairman Henderson, following the speech of Mr. B. B. Evans, arose and I declared that Attorney General Lyon - did not employ him to appear oet fore the United States supreme court, ; the South Carolina congressmen eml ploying an attorney. Mr. Henderson J said Mr. Lyon's argument before this > high court was good and that he was I an able lawyer. Mr. Evans then rose and attempted i to speak. He was cheered and hissed, i "Let him speak," requested Mr. Lyon, ' but Mr. Evans sat down. "If there is I any person in this audience," said Mr. Lyon, "who is so simple and foolish as to believe a single thing Barney 5 tells you he will go off and laugh at ; you.'" > Mr. Lyon received an ovation as he told the large audience that Mr. >-? j i. l- 4^1^ f ill vans dues llul ubiibvc mo ianj mics ; himself. With the brief time allowi ed to him, Mr. Lyon took up one by one the charges made by Mr. Evans. 1 He proved by the State treasurer, the : clerk of Richland county court, the i comptroller general, the chairman 1 of the dispensary winding-up commis? sion and others the falsity of the s charges. "And yet," declared Mr. Lyon. : "Barney has the gall to stand up : and tell you that Lyon misused your money." The merger case is on the i Richland county docket set for trial I this fall. Mr. Lyon said he employ? ed a detective to root out a crowd l of grafters. ) "And he came near getting Bar ney's cousin, Hub Evans. Would j Barney prosecute his cousin Hub? I 5 don't think so." 1 Here Mr. Lyon took up his oppo nent's record and declared that his most important case in the supreme ? co .rt was concerning a pointer pup, i "and he lost that." He has had nine t cases in all and has lost seven, los ing several of these because he did i not know how to draw his plead. ings. Mr. Lyon declared amid great j applause that "Mr. Evans could not ? Drove a single charge that he has ? made.'" i Mr. Evans made practically the t same charges of incompetency and ex; travagance that he has made hereto> fore. A few persons in the audience . shouted encouragement as he spoke. l "Give it to him, Evans," they cried, r When Mr. Evans concluded a part : of the crowd* cheered and a few hiss? ed. Mr. Lyon had a bundle of af. fidavits, which he referred to briefly, ; proving by them that every state; ment by his opponent was false. . Another mild sensation was sprung i when Capt. W. W. Moore candidate ' for adjutant general, replied to ali leged insinuations made by his jpi ponent, Capt. J. M. Richardson, of i Aiken. He drew on the report to the . adjutant general to show that Richardson's men had been guilty of in( subordination. Capt. Richardson had , taken him to task in regard to his , stay at the Citadel, alleging that his opponent had left the impression that he was a graduate. This is Capt. Richardson's home town and he re. ceived much applause. White Troops Stormed Jail. ; Washington, July 8.?juetermineu to avenge the probably fatal injury to one of their fellow soldiers?Pri! vate Scott, of Battery D., third artillery, U. S. A.?between forty and ; fifty United States white troopers and artillerymen from Fort MyerC Va., . early to-day made an attempt to ; storm the Alexandria county jail on i Fort Myer heights ,to lynch Robert > Jackson, a negro. A clever subterfuge of Jailer Har; ry Crack, in inducing the soldiers , to believe that Jackson was not with. in the jail, was the only thing that ; saved the negro from lynching. Private Scott was slashed across . the abdomen with a razor during a t fight between a crowd of negroes and a number of soldiers on a trolley car , bound for Fort Myer the night of the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight. The soldiers learned that Scott, who had been removed to a hospital, had de veloped peritonitis and that death might be expected at any hour. Col. Gerrard, commanding the garrison at Fort Myer, has ordered an investigation into what he termed "ar. incident savoring too strongly of the j Brownville affair." Now is the time to buy real estate. It is going at a price that will not grow less. We have some attractive bargains. C. H. MILHOUS, Manager Denmark Realty Co. * ? ' I ? ^ N -v?' BANK STATEMENT.
