VOLUMEh ?e rerttser. VOLUMEII XXXV. LAURE3NS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDA N. OCTOBER 1, 1919.NUBR1 NEW POLITICAL 1 PREDICTED BY Speculation in Washington C of Next Year. No Intim Senator Smith. The Washington correspondent of the Greenville 'Daily News sent out an intdresting comment Monday on the political situation in South Caro lina as it 'appears from Washington. The correspondent hedged himself albout so as to make no definite pre diction, but managed 'to 'bring into the limelight -nany of the possible candi dates for senatorial'and ,congressional honors. The Advertiser reprints the story in full for the entertainment of its readers, as follows: Washington, Sept. 28.-Some new congressional timber is -to 'be added to the political woodpile in 'South Caro lina when the elections of next year come off, wise ones fresh from that section have reported in Washington recently and some that are 'barely con sidered now may come to the front be fore the race is ended. TVo rcent vaeancies in South Caro lina-those from the sixth and sev enth districts-with the incidental fed eral pafpnage and pie connected therewith, have apparently iwhetted the congressional appetites on .the Pal mtto State. No one hereabouts seems to be anx lous to even. hazard a guess as -to who is willing to take a good licking .by op posing Senator E. D. Smith on the hustings next summer. Since the time at Anderson, some -five years ago, when the senator had his picture tak en standing on top 6f a good five hun dred .pound bale of cotton he has ap parently put his competitors, out of the running. Of course no one here knows what is going to be done in this race, but it is much easier to enter and put up the necessary fees and make a cam paign through the forty-six counties of the state than it iy to get a decision at the hands of the people, and ap parently this will be the position of some of the candidates afiter they have mixed up with Senator Smith and his adherents for a month or more. But th field is big and free to those who wish to enter as the Sena torial. seat in 'Washington belongs, it must 'be remembered, to the man with the longest pole. Here are sonic predictions regard ing the lenso rituation, an'd thef" may come true or they may not, but at least they are worth watching. In the first disttiet the race will probably be between Richard S. Whaley and W Turner Logan, the laiter the law partner of John P. Grace. The second district will probably show James F. Byrnes and one of his opponents, George L. Toole, while the third dlistrict wil1libe flighting groun'd again. In this district it Is said that Representative Doiinmick will .have a very severIe test of his ab~ility to hold onl to his Was~hington job. Th'ie friends of former Congressman Wyatt Aiken, it is saidl, still dlesire to see him back in the H ouse andI wvill insist that he make the fight again in the 1920 prim aries, andl in adidition, it has been said here fot some time that Captain IHenry C. Tiliman, son of the late Senator 'Tillman, wvill take the stump and en deavor to break botninich'a, pold in Wash ington. There may be one or two others, 'but those are the most Tfhe fourth district wil tbe fighting - ground. igaiu'. With the ietitoinent of. Cougressman Sam 3, Nicolola, after seyeral years' service in the House as ~he successor to the late Judge . T. ~ohnson, the man who gets this place will know that he has 'boon in a light twheit it is over. Thie way the matter standls now, it is -this way, ,with the following probalblo line up: Captain J. J. aLeswain, soldier and lawvo', Greenville; David 11. Traxler, real estate man, Greenville; 11. Lj. loumar, lawyer, Spartanburg; Captain W. R. ltichey, .Jr., Laurens, soldier andl lawyer; Mfajor C. C. Wyche, Sp~artan burg, soldier and lawvyer. It will thus be seen that of the fouir c(ounit ies wvhich make uip the fourth dist rict, Spartanburg, Jlturens, Green ville and Union, all ivwill probably have candidates except Union and that -county may be heard from yct. The fifth district, now represented by w. V. .tevensn, is the onlyoane 'IMBER CORRESPONDENT ircles on Political Campaign ation as to Whio Will Oppose in the state about Which little is to be said at the present time. Unless former Senator Pollock should de termine to throw his hat in the con gressional ring it looks like Mr. Stev enson would -proba'bly -be .without op position, at least now. - The seventh district will probaby show E. 1C. Mann, of St. Matthews, Just elected -to succeed former Con gressman Lever. Mir. Mann has not yet taken his seat but will do so soon and will be a member of the House until March 4, 1921. Rumor has It that he may be opposed next sum mer by William Banks, unless the lat ter Is appointed a member of the Fed eral Trade Commission at a salary of $10,000 a year, which, of course, he would not give up to fbe a congress man at $7,500 a year; 'George Dell Tiummerman, recently a candidate for the Lever seat; 1-. tP. Fulmer, of North and Joe Sparks of Columbia and Richmond. Ir. Sparks has told his friends that he would 'prolbably have made the race this year except .for certain mat ters which he could not dispose of at the -present time, but that he will clean up the field in 1921, if he be comes a candidate. This is a fine line up of candidates, certain and uncertain, and it is not so long off until you may have the op portunity of making your choice. Paste , this list in some convenient place and consideo1 it from thne to time as a convenient guide to what may happen in South Carolina next summer. ROCK HILL STRIKE1 SETTLED AT LAST Textile Operatives and Management Reach Agreement. Two Mills In volved. Rock Hill, Sept. 26,-Tho strike at the Arcade and Aragon mills, which has been in progress for five and a half weeks and seven and a half ,weeks, re spectively, was oflicially ended thi af trnoon, when an agreement was enter ed into by the nmanagemnent of the mills and the striking operatives and splin dies and looms 'which have been i(ile will be humming as usual tomorrow. H-. E. Thompson of the state board of conciliation and J. L. Davis, of Co lunibia, secretary-treasurer of the South Carolina Federation of Labor, who have been here for several days using their efforts to bring about a re conciliation of differences, returned home this afternoon, their labors here successfully: concluded. They have held numerous conferences with both strikers and mantigemnent in their work of bringing the two factions together. Under the terms of the agreement a local union of the textile workers wvili lie organized at the two villages, be ing complhosedl solely of the operatives of the tUwo mills. When the local is organizedh the management will meet with the duily constituted conjit~tee as often as desired to dliscuss matte'rs needing attention. The management of time mills have never opposed such an organization, the workers contend ing (r ;being a part of an organiza tien h ti which there were members of othd employment thart the two mills. Th principal issue, and the only olte. which there wvas any disagree mnen .was the refusal of the manage ment to sign a contract with the union as constituted in Rock 11111. Tile muan atgomnent was not twiliing to agree .to re fer matters ini dispute to a committee composed of people not in the employ of tly miii, but on the contrary has alwafs beenm willing anld has had an agreement with theor, people, signed July 19, 1919, to dilscusls all matetrs, with a committee of Arcade and Aa gon employees, President L~ong said1 t his afternoon. The agreement reach ed this afternoon, lie says, carries out ilhis principle and1( in thme future all mat ters can and wvillI be settled bo tween the mlanagement amnd the em ployees without outside interference. Tihere wouldi have been no strike at either of the mills, said1 Mr. Long, had tihe matter in question been referred tn the n~omain of the t wn miii cmimmit toes affected. The management of the mills has declined hitherto and will continue to decline to have any deal ings with outside unions, the agree ment is entirely with the union of the local mills and is so recognized by both sides. The minor details of the agreement, such as hours, wage fix ing, etc., had no great bearing on the matter, these having either been set tled prior to the strike or concurrent ly agreed upon. The nunagenient of the mills, said Mr. Long, has from organization in Rock Hill adopted the open shop pol icy, and this has not been an issue, the main issue being domination by out side influences. The settlement reach ed today, he says, is satisfactory to both the management and the opera tives. Nows that the strike had been ended was received with delight on all sides. Several hundred operatives have been idle for nearly two months, during wiiich the business interests of the city have lost thousands of dollars in trade, it being estimated that the loss in wages to the strikers will be ap proximately $60,000. Delayed shipment of Rugs and Art Squares arriving now. S. M. & E. H. WILIM.S & CO. MA.J. INT. O'IRYAN SPARTA N'S GE S' Cominiander of 27th Division Received Wari Welconie at Spartanburg Monday.
