Wltherspoon's Plea for Blotting Out
Factional Lines Feature of Talk,?
The Lie Passed Between Jones and

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.
The storm that had been brewing
between A. W. Jones, candidate for
reelection as comptroller general, and
his opponent, James A. Summer sett,

broke today. 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

SATURDAY JULY 25, 1914.
The darkest war cloud which has
appeared on the European horizon
since Germany sent warships to Anadir
in 1911 has arisen within 48
hours. The Servian government has
refused to comply with Austria's demands,
the most humiliating ever asked
of any independent nation, for the
expiation of the Sarayevo murderers.
Not only government officials but
representatives at Washington of all
Mexican factions expressed Saturday
night more confidence than ever that
peace at last was in sight for Mexico.
Two men and a woman were shot on
a New York, New Haven & Hartford
express train from Boston within the
city limits of New York last Friday
night in a supposed attempt by youth
fill "bandits" to hold up the passengers.
Madame Hcnriette Caillaux, whose
trial for the hilling- of Faston Saimeite
has provided many thrills for Paris
fainted while her husband's love loiters,
written to her before his divorce
from Mme. Fueydan, was read n
court.
Sitting- in a rocking chair in his
own home, with blood flowing profusely
from his head which a few ?ninutes
before had been pierced by a 38calibre
rifle bullet, James Cash, a
prominent citizen of Knay of Reeds,
Granville county, N. C., was found
dead last Friday. He had that day
returned from a Durham hospital,
where he had been vndov treatment
for pellagara and was despondent on
a count of the condition of bis health.

Hast Saturday's developments appeared
to furnish new proof that Austria
is determined to make war on
Servia. The possibilities of a general
European war seem greater than

what is known as a "coach-whip."

Young Man I.nses His Mental Balance

One day last week Willie To'ld. a
son of Rev. H. P. M. Tocld of tlu> Co- M
flar Grove section of this county, %
came to Conway to acten 1 the opening
tobacco sales. He went to the
Conway Bargain House where he pur-j^
chased from D. F. Gregg, the heaa
an 1/vo^ ? 1
ou.couiun, goous amounting' to about
$00.00 telling the salesman to lay
them aside until the sales at the
warehouse came off and he would
| then call and pay for the goods. It
turned out that he had no tobacco, ^
| and the goods were never paid for
I and taken out. Later he tried to get
i different people to go with him to get
, out a marriage license. He returned
I to Conway on tlm following day and
! at times had been violent and showed
signs of becoming violent while here. ^
The unfortunate young man was final ^
ly found to be suffering from some
mental trouble and was lodged for
! safe keeping until he could he taken

It appears that he had been in the
asylum once before but about a year
ago he was discharged apparently
