Anti-Administration Forces Try to Get Together for Common Good. ; Columbia, July 26.?About 25 South Carolinians yesterday attended an anti-administration conference in Columbia. After the meeting Dr. George B. Cromer, of Newberry, gave out the following statement, authorized, he said, by those present: "The meeting was held by men from different 'parts of the State, who see that there is danger that two of the candidates who are in favor of the present administration will be in a second primary, and the meet- : ing was called to see if some plan could be devised to avert that danger. "The six candidates for governor who are understood to be opposed to the administration .were invited to the conference. As stated in the call those who composed the conference knew that they had no power to eliminate any candidate. They hoped that in a conference with the candidates and in a spirit of cooperation, a plan could be devised that would enable the voters to concentrate on two men. The candidates seem to have misunderstood the purpose of the meeting and only Mr. Manning and Mr. Cooper were in the city. Some of them seem to have the mistaken idea that the conference was to be held in the interest of one or more of the candidates. In view of this misunderstanding, Mr. Manning and Mr. Cooper were not asked to be present at the meeting. "After deliberation a committee of three was appointed to have a conference with the six candidates for governor who are regarded as opposed to the present administration to ask them to cooperate with us in a spirit of patriotism and if practicable, by elimination or otherwise, reduce their number so as to enable the vote to be concentrated. "The members of this conference are not promoting the candidacy of any man. They see that the State is confronted with a real danger and they are anxious for the way to be opened so that the candidates and . the voters may cooperate to promote and maintain good government. "This statement is as definite a statement as we care to publish until after the conference between the committee and the candidates some time next week." Dr. Cromer said that it had been , decided not to give out the names of the committee of three. Aiken Calls for Conference. Aiken, July 24.?A call was sent out tonight by the Aiken county delegates to the South Carolina State i convention for an anti-Blease convention in Columbia. Friday, July 31. to concentrate on two or three anti- ; Blease gubernatorial candidates. The I call says it appears to be the undivid-1 oH nnininn nf thnsp oitizpnR nf South i Carolina who would redeem the State from Bleaseism that the present situation demands the elimination of at least three or more avowedly antiBlease candidates in order that the i anti-Blease vote of the State may not! be divided. The call declares that i Bleaseism "is dong more injury to ] ANOTHER WAR DECLARED (i AUSTRIA TAKKS OFFENSIVE H AGAINST SKRYIA. iE al Action of the Austrian Government ^ Threatens to Involve Many n< Many European Powers. London, July 2S.?The AustroHungarian government declared war against Servia today by a manifesto ec which is one of the briefest of his- "1 tory's momentous documents. R Germany paved the way for this th declaration by announcing her rejec- b) tion of the British proposal to bring m four powers together in conference ai for mediation. Germany explained C . - -11- vj U ? ~ ~ J U D tier any couia noi ue eApeuieu lu suu- ju mit her acts to an European council al as though she were one of the Bal- tl kan States. ai This announcement preceded the t declaration of war by only two hours hi and showed the harmonious working ti of the partnership between the two a nations which stood firmly together tl" through ;he Bosnian crisis of 1909. b< The centre of interest has shifted d< sharply to St. Petersburg, which w holds the decision whether an Euro- o! pean war. which probably al would shift the balance of s< power, if not rearrange the ss entire map of Europe, is to break ti out. Negotiations are afoot there a between the Russian foreign minis- bj ner and the Austrian ambassador, tf which are designed to "localize" the v< conflict. tl Occupation of Belgrade. st The next news expected is the oc- hi cupation of Belgrade, and that now o] may be an cccomplished fact. Re- w ports of encounters along the fron- ci tier have been permitted to pass the b( censor, but military experts believe n mobilization already has been effect- w ed and that a campaign is under way. sc There is no enthisiasm in England qi for war, yet there is a general be- ai lief that her obligations to the part- sc ners in the triple entente, and her in- ai terests as a great European power, ol will force her to support Russia and el France in any steps they may take, si The immediate effect of the war p: cloud is likely to be a compromise of tu home rule, since all parties feel that ei domestic dissensions must be settled si at all cost in the face of outside peril. ni The fierce demands of the conser- t vative papers for a general election r have been hushed.

Regardless of whatev- fc er calls or meetings may be held the bt Aiken plan of concentration, which th is absolutely one of concentration of d( the anti-Blease vote of the State by vc obviating the division of that vote at among six men. The Aiken plan has ca no favorite candidate and will have m none. It will be just what the call to said it would be. a patriotic, bound Ai effort in the interest of South Caro- O lina." in WARM MEETING AT OLAK. Continued from page 4. colmun 6.) is record would show to right thinkig people, he said, that he had not [lowed factional differences to deter im when it came to working for the iterests of the people. He would Dt commit himself on the point of idorsement or opposition. Dr. S. I3. Rentz. Dr. S. P. Rentz was next introduc1 and was met with the question Is that Rentz?" and "Hurrah for entz." He immediately too-k up le question which had been asked * the voters of Olar as to endorseent of the present administration id said he was opposed to Blease. ~ iroice from the crowd: "Hurrah for m lease." which was met with sever- tc cries of "Hurrah for Smith.") He ei ten twitted his lawyer opponents in id dubbed them "briefless barris- m >rs" much to the amusement of ai is auditors. The matter of taxaon was then taken up and he advoited a reform of tax assessments so tr lat all classes of property would h( jar their just share of the tax bur- fil sn. Longer terms for supervisor di as also recommended as a means u; : obtaining better roads, which he p: Iso favors. Speaking of compul- ic >ry school attendance, Dr. Rentz e< lid that the constitutional conven- tl on of 1S95 had forced on the negro tl compulsory school attendance law tc p inserting a requirement therein ai lat no negro should be allowed to c? >te who could not read and explain ie constitution. They felt it necesirv to obtain education after this ,, ad been done and were losing no pportunity to gain it. He said that hite supremacy was endangered bemse of the fact that negroes were h; scorning educated at a more rapid w Tt-Viitoc onH that unlpss ? lie u hite children were forced into the ^ :hools that the negroes would be a] aalifying to vote in large numbers S( ad it would be an easy matter for S( >me demagogue to slip into the State s] ad entice the negroes to vote some a, :her ticket than the Democratic tick- jj. t. "Then where would your white e] apremacy be?" he asked. He de- & lored the fact that the last legisla- jS ire had appropriated $30,000 for the b, radication of the cattle tick, thus in- v, iring the future of cattle, but had at made provision for schoolchildren, here was another point which Dr. entz dealt with that has not been V >uched on before, and that is the ne- b ro is dying of the white man's dis- w ases at a much more rapid rate p tan the white man and this in it- n ;lf was an argument against the t1 y of the demagogue that they could ot support the compulsory attend- j( ace law for the reason that it would = >rce negroes into school. The pro- & 3ss of extinction would take care of Ti lat. Referring to Mr. Miley's op- p< osition to the Sanders bill, he charg3 that he had made his best fight gainst it when the existence of the jsorts, which this bill proposed to 2.1 B1 o away with, was the ruination of xi tany young men and a menace to = le womanhood of our country. This ( riticism of Mr. Miley's record was = ;ceived amid cheers. The Fortner _ ill was again touched on and characjrized as "Tom Miller's bill." Tom f< [iller, he said, "was a negro from eaufort county and a representa- m ve during radical days whose mouth tl as. as big as a pair of waffle irons = ud when he opened it he looked as _ ' he was raising off the top of his ead." Dr. Rentz was well received fc nd was frequently applauded dur- ^ ig his speech. CI B. I). Carter. ~ B. D. Carter, the next candidate ic )r the house, was received with luch applause, he being on his old :amping ground. He told of the ? me spent in Olar and of his subseC? uent struggle, single-handed, for an ta iucation, of the success he had met je ith during his professional career ** ad of his belief in his ability to __ ;rve the people. He pitched his attle on a high plane and was for C? le elimination of factional differ- ? ices and strife. He told of the ia reat awakening on the eve of which aople stood and pointed out that ? hearty response was being made da > the demands for more progressive fr teas along all lines, particularly ed- ru cation. He discussed in anJ able anner the problems of taxation, the ? igulation of corporations and ex- ^ :essed the conviction that railroads fr d not appreciate the share which ru ley had had in the prosperity of ai ie country. He favors a two-cent it passenger rate and better service ? 7 the railroads to the public. "Pub- = c office is a public trust," said Mr. arter, "and a man is not worthy of Qi ie confidence of the people who su eats it otherwise." He is asicing ?r nothing for private use or gain, it for the opportunity of serving pc te public. Mr. Carter wishes it un ;rstood that while he does not fa- CQ >r a State-wide compulsory school re tendance law, he would favor loil option self government in the ~~ atter after provision had been made di > care for the children out of school, vii s to the petition of the voters of lar, he said he would not now nor 0fl the future commit himself to any tic (7 THHUE'S MONEY FOH YOU to draw upon in time of need j whenever you want it when you have it safely invested in the j Bamberg Bankink Co's. bank. | You don't have to sacrifice it by j selling property stocks or bonds j on a pinch when you want it. j Ready cash that draws 4 per cent, interest is yours, and is J making money while you sleep, j when you have an account in ! 4 per cent.
