i
Columbia.?At tor a day marked by ^
three clashes, union and street railway
officials got down to work last week
on a plan to bring about a settlement
of the differences. The union carmen 1
placed their interests in the matter of
a method of inspection in the hands |
of Gov. Manning. The inspection j
?. method caused all of the trouble.
Late in the afternoon there was a
near-riot on Main Street, when sympathizers
attempted to pull a motorman
from a car. Gov. Manning addressed
the crovd and assured the
strikers that they would get a square
deal but that he would not stand for
violence in any form.
This irmdent came directly after a
car was stopped on Main street just
in front of the News & Courier Bu- ;
reau, anu a. W. Oxner, who was running
as motorman, was taken from i
the car. When this car turned from
Gervais street into Main, in front of
the State House, several strikers tried
to induce the motorman to quit his
place. Just what followed is not known
>but some remark was made and a big
crowd followed the street car for two
blocks and caught it in front of the
National Loan and Exchange. i
Mr. Wallace and policeman came to
the scene and after some time Mr.
Oxner was escorted to the sidewalk.
Run Over by Automobile.
A lane wide enough for automobiles ^jto
pass through was kept open with
difficulty, and finally an automobile '
ran over G. O. Warner, manager of
the Ideal Theatre, who was in the
crowd. He was removed to the hospi- j
tal and given attention. ]
After some time Mr. Oxner, accom- :
panied by Mr. Wallace, came back to ,
the car and getting on took it up the 1
^ street, while some in the crowd chetr j
<ed and others jeered. Policemen fin- ,
ally got the crowd to disperse. ,
Charges were entered by General
Manager Wallace against John Gold- ,
man, S. C. McKissick and J. W. j
Brunswick, who are said to be among j
'the strikers and who are charged with (
being the ones who attempted to take ^
41 otorman Oxner off the car. ]
This car had barely gotten a block \
up street when a big crowd was seen
two blocks down the street. at the ]
transfer station which is just in front j
of the City Hall and the State House (
Jt Strikers were trying to get the motor-1 j
f men and conductors of two cars, which ^
were just turning into Main street, ^
1 IV to get off and quit. A tremendous
J\ crowd, which had gathered, were ^
pressing close and Policeman Stack,
who was in plain clothes, it is claim- (
ed was trying to keep the crowd back
by urging them to desist. General ^
Manager Wallace arrived on the scene y
in an automobile nnd sit nnr?o wnnf tr?
? W , t
the assistance of the men on the cars.1
He told the crowd to stand back and it j
^is said, that several threats were
made against him some persons in
the crowd. On account of the threatening
attitude and the menacing way
at which they were trying.to climb on
the car he thought they were going t
to attack him. Ho defended himself c
with a heavy iron rod, and Struck Policeman
Stack over the head, the blow
ftaking blood flow freely. It is sai l ^
that Mr. Stack, being in citizen's j?
clothes. Mr. Wallace took him tor j c
one of the strikers and hit in self-de- r
fence. t
The incident added more excitement s
and Mr. Wallace was promptly placed f
under arrest. When the patrol wagon c
^arrived and Mr. Wallace was put in ^
and driven off the strikers and their r
sympathizers sent up a big cheer. Mr. a
Wallace was released under bond v
which was promptly furnished. | m

RUSSIANS ADMIT
FURTHER RETREAT
Dccupation of Pinsk Will
Facilitate German
Advance.
Lqndon.?Petrograd admits the
Russians are falling back in the direction
of Pinsk, capture of which
rvas announced by the Germans. Occupation
of this town may be expect;d
to facilitate gicatlj the progress of
^on Mackcnsen's forces through the
Pripct marshes.
Owing to the prorogation of the
Duma, domstic affairs are occupying
.ho attention of the Russians. The effect
of this incident on the military
situation is feared as is indicated hvl
Ihe proclamation of General Ruzsky,
Russian commander in :ho north, calling
upon workmen not to slacken their
forts to keep the army supplied with
munitions.

MUCH MONEY
New York.?The propsed billion dollar
loan to Great Britain and France
shrunk in the gossip of Wall Street to
half that size.
Five hundred million dollars was
the sum set as the amount American
financers would lend. That figure
seemed uniform in a half dozen or
more reports current in the financial
section.

saving mexico
Washington.?Steps that may lead
soon to the recognition of a government
in Mexico in the hope that pacification
of the country may follow
was discussed at a conference in New
York of Pan-American diplomats over
which Secretary Lansing presided.
The secretary talked with President
Wilson on the sitaution and during the
past week exchanged views with the
Latin-American diplomats. Just what
procedure is to be followed has not
been decided, but the plan of recognizing
at a future date a faction not
Dnly that demonstrates military supremacy
but gives promise of stability
already has been accepted by the
conferees as the logical development
of future policy.
No decision as to which faction or
?roup is to receive recognition or
moral support has been made. The
intention is to hold a series of conferences
in which the conflicting terriritorial
claims and purposes of the
respective movements may be exhaustively
examine^ and studied.
Inasmuch as the Pan-American conference
originally suggested a moetng
between representatives of differ-!
?nt elements on Mexican soil and this
Dlan was rejected by the Carranza
.... -
.action, controlling a large territory,j
<he probability is that the conference
vill take the view that since the fac-'
ions are unable to agree, the question
)f military supremacy must be the (lending
factor. Accordingly, Gen. Car anza's
invitation to discuss internaianal
affairs with the conferees will
>e accepted, though instead of going j
o the border themselves or sending a
!ommittee to meet Carranza, the con'erees
will ask that Gen. Carranza ap>oint
delegates to meet them here.

In Court Next Week.
One of the cases to come up for
rial at the court next week is a
harge of obstructing a public road by j
5. C. Dunn and prosecutor against the
lefendant Charles N. Causey. Mr.
Causey is the owner of a large tract
f land on the eastern side of the Wacamaw
River at Cox's Ferry. On the

here is a turn along the bank to a
pot about thirty-five or forty yards
rom the ferry where Mr. Dunn
laims he has the right to stack cord
vood to be sold to the steamers on the

WILSON PRAISED
BY GERMAN PRESS
Berlin.?In the German governments
explanation of the Hesperian
case, Germania sees the way made
clear for "President Wilson's ultimate
position regarding the German note
concerning justification for the sinking
of the Arabic." The newspaper
declares that the Britsh press must
give up its hopes of differences between
Berlin and Washington. It
praises President Wilson for having
refused to be influenced by British reports
of a new menace to German
American relations which h&s just
been guided into a more peaceful

Gather your corn some dry clear
day between the 1st and 10th of October.

hand get some one who does to
fill out your annual report.
When you fill out your annual report,
write the name of guano used,
acre, Big O or Cooper, etc., and the
township in which you live. Remember
the Corn Club districts: District;

Drive on the Side.
My attention has been directed to
the mode of travel adopted by the 1
owners of automobiles in this town.
With the idea of helping out the
building of good roads they drive on
the sides of the street, and not in the
middle. Driving in the middle would
of course be doing a little toward the
injury of the streets, and they evi- *
dehtly want to help in the building of '
better streets by driving at the sides ^
and thus avoid the packing down of (
the clay that has been placed in the 1
middle. As a result of driving along
the edges, the clay in the middle re- 1
mains loose and the first rain washes c
it away. As one of the band I sug- 1
gest that we continue to help in the
cause of better streets by always (having
along the sides and never in the
middle. n

Greatest Fair in History

VALUABLE PRIZES

Large Carnival Company
to Furnish Shows.
The work of arranging for the coming
annual county fair on October
12th to loth, is going ahead. The secretary,
Mr. J. \V. Little is very active
and for several weeks past has attended
to very little business except
that pertaining to the fair.
i ? 1
/vn automobile will begiven away
on one of the days of the fair. It will
be exhibited o ntho fair grounds during
the fair and all persons holding
chances on this free automobile will
stand an equal show of winning the
machine. Those who are not informed
as to the particulars in regard to
giving away the automobile should
hunt up the advertising matter at
once and find out. It is as lucky for
one as another.
Another feature will be Aynor day
when the enterprising business men of
that town will give away in the fair
grounds anice range such as are
usually sold at from $75.00 to $100.00.
The person holding the lucky chance
on this range will get it free of cost.
Arrangements were in progress last
week with a large carnival company.
The fair would not be complete without
something of this kind. The management
intends to secure the best for
already been signed wifg n large coir;
this year, and if a contract has not

next few days.

Steps are being taken to make every

will be plenty of room for laying out
