The Lie Passed Between Jones and Summersett,?No Blows, However. Walterboro, July 23.?Stirring references to tlio shooting of Dr. James H. Mcintosh, in Columbia, and a denunciation of his assailant by several of the candidates were the only feature of the quiet campaign here todav. The crowd was undemonstrative, though attentive, and seemed only mildly curious about the Mcintosh incident. All the candidates wore present except James Cansler of Tirzah, Thomas H. Peeples and J. A. B. Mullally, who are all sick in Columbia. Mr! Witherspoon's plea for the erasure of factional lines brought the first applause. Andrew J. Bethea, first candidate for lieutenant governor, denounced the assailant of Dr. James H. Mcintosh, the Columbia physician who was attacked and wounded last night and paid a brief tribute to Dr. Mcintosh. Mr. Bethea was presented with two bouquets of flowers amid hand claps from the crowd. J. A. Hunter made his usual recital of his legislative record. The aspirants to the lieutenant governorship introduced nothing new ex cept reference to the ancient glories of colleton county. A. G. Brice, candidate for attorney general, said that Thomas H. Peoples the present incumbent was unfaithful to his office in the C. P. Sims disbarment proceedings. Mr. Peoples, he declared, was a mere tool of the present governor.

Mr. Summer sett de clared that Mr. Jones had admitted to him that he had voted 75 per cent of stock of a large bonding company. Mr. Jones stepped from the crowd and in a loud voice flatly called Mr. Summersett a liar. Mr. Summcrsett returned the charge and a brief spirited exchange followed, cut short, however by the expiration of Mr Summersctt's j speaking time. Gen. W. W. Moore, who was on his native heath, was the subject of considerable sarcasm by his opponent M. C. Willis, for his neglect of the local military company, which is now dis- , organized. Gen. Moore in answer i said that the condition of this company and of other companies in the : State was the result of Governor ^lease's action in regard to his de- ! partment. W. C. Irby warned the voters against the brand of Blcaseism exhibited by John G. Richards, now the most prominent i'leasc candidate for i governor. Richard I. Manning was enthusias! tieally received and his usual plea for order and good government was roundly applauded. He received j flowers. SEVERE STORM OF HAIL VISITS FLOYDS SECTION One Half of the Tobacco Crop of I). M. Causey Lost Thereby. A severe storm of wind and hail visited a fertile section of Floyds township on Sunday, July 19th, but which fortunately did not extend over a very wide area. The worst sufferer was Mr. D. M. Causey, who lost fully one half of his tobacco crop. The nail stones beat up the leaves and drove some of them into the sand. He lightened his loss the best he could by gathering up the loose leaves on the next day. The tobacco crops of Messrs. Alva Philips and W. P. Lewis were also injured but the extent of their damage was not like that of Mr. Causey's. P. TT. Wesley during the last few weeks has spent the sum of $78.20 for oil cloth which ho has used in printing; signs for the tobacco warehouses at Conway, Aynor and Johnsonville. These signs are ordered by the merchants and business men who display them in the tobacco houses. Miss Kate Oliver spent last Sunday with relatives at Greenwood. J.
