[The State, 27th.] After a very full consideration of all matters relating in any way to the matter of the arrangement of the two series of campaign meetings to be held throughout the State this summer, giving due consideration to the tobacco harvest time, the con venience of candidates, the saving of mileage to the travelers, the sub committee of the State Democratic esentive commitwe, after a session aotinning for several hours last night-adopted the campaign sched ules for the two campaigns-the one or the party of senatorial and con gresional candidates and the other for the party of candidates for State The schedules as adopted provide or the starting of both campaigns e_mJune 17 andthe ending of both oi August 21, allowing certain off J.dz_ now and then for railroad oon seions and for candidates to go lUsie and lock after business.

THIS CHANGE NOT MADE. Finally Mr. Blease moved the adoption of the schedules proposed by Col. Jones. Before the vote was laken Senator Manning moved to iave the State schedule substituted lor the senatorial schedule, the effect )f this motion being to take the ini ;ial senatorial meeting to Sumter in tead of Columbia, though he did iot say so. He said he had no other lesire in the matter than that one of he senatorial candidates had told iim he would rather have the open ng meeting in Sumter than in Co umbia. Col. Jones stated that this change woul"a.ot do for the reason that the wo schedules had been arranged with a view to a large and a small )arty of candidates respectively, hough both allowed at least three weeks between the appearance of one arty at a given point and the ap earance of the other. Finally Senator Manning with Irew his motion to change the plans. hen slight amendments as to the ates for the meetings on both sides f the Conway meeting, so as to al w a boat ride on the Waccatuaw ere adopted and the schedules were dopted as a whole. ASKED TO ENTERTAIN CANDIDATES. On motion of Gov. McSweeney the hairman was instructed to notify the ounty chairmen in ample time of ates of the meetings and sugg"st to ach county chairman the propriety f assigning each of the candidates D homes of local people for enter ainment. The chairman then called for a ist of the county chairmen in the tate and it was made up. TO ASK iOR RATES. A special committee consisting of e chairman, Mr. Wilborn and Mr. 'ravler w,s appointed to watch the rogress of the campaigns and when was found necessary to arrange for pecial trains for the movementi of lie campaign parties to andertake a make such arrangements. The committee instructed the hairman to take up the matter of scuring cheap rates for the cam aigners from the railroads, asking yr half rates. AS TO TICKETS. There was some discussion of the arm of the tickets to be used in the oing primary election, but the uatter being plainly set forth in the arty rules no action was taken. he State committee prints all the ickets for United States senator, d State officers, and the several ounties look after the tickets for be-congressional candidates. PLEDGES AND ASSESSMENTS. The candidates are required to .le their pledges with the chairman f the committee at Columbia not ter than 12 o'clock noon on the ay before the campaign opens, and ssessment is payable upon the fil ag of the pledge. The assessments are as follows, eing left as they were two years go: United States senator and con ressman, $50; governor, $50; lieu* enant governor, $12.50; adjutant eneral, $25, and all other State ifices, $37.50.

Strike is Practically Ended-Effort to on tinue the Fight on King Mill appears to be a Failure, _ _ t [Special to The State.] Augusta, Ga., May 26.-On Mon day, April 7th, the strike went into effect in the King mill, and the day a following all the other mills in the district closed down under their t agreement with the manufacturers' t association. Thursday May 22, the 8 King mill started up without the strike being endedf according to the strike leaders, and has been running the fall number of hours every day t since, gathering a few more hands t every time the bell rang. Saturday the other mills of the t district concluded the strike near ti enough ended, from a standpoint of P the manufacturers' associ.tion, to open up the other mills, and this morning the bells of every mill in ti the district rang out for the first time since the first da) of the lock- t out. Sat-:.day there were a few over t 300 nds at work in the King mill, h while this morning there are more than 400 operatives at their ma- P chines, while in the other mills all t the bands that yet -remained in the city returned to their duty. About a week after the strike and m lockout started a number of the op. o eratives from all the mills left Au. T gosta to take positions in other mill st cities, and with the exception of h, these all the locked out operatives in are back at work. From the Sibley d< there are perhaps a little over 50 bi hands who have left Augusta, but in the depart- ents of this institution ni are pretty well filled up and the w mill is runniug on full time. In the in other mills there is little apparent h, loss of labor. f* FIRED THEIR LEADERS. si In the Sibley somewhat of a sur w prise was sprung on the leaders of g he strike this morning. Among the ti peratives reporting for du y was ti Mr. Clint McDaniel, secretary of the m~ local textile union, and Mr. Will GJ eels, who has been serving as a ommitteeman. They took their ac ustomed places in the mill and started their machines, as usual, but a few minutes after the wheels had ~ been put in motion the bosses of the al epartments in which they werea working notified them that they werea ot to go back to work in the mill. In this the disappointment to theh strikers goes further than the mereh ischarging of those two men. It is a] known that the purpose of the strik-w rs was to get the mills all over the8 istrict started so that the operatives a who had not returned to work in the ~ ing mill could get positions in ' them and continue the fight on the King. This move, however, puts ar amper on their intentions. None of the King mill workers have offered " for work in the other mills as yet, a~ and it remains a questions as tos whether they will be taken in when they make application. So far as an be learned these two are the ~ nly leaders who have been refused ~ work, but this may be from the factb that there were no others employed in the mills other than the King. Both the president and one of the foremost leaders are employes of the King mill and have not returned to work.$ The statement was made this morn ing by the secretary of the local tex tile union that the fight was not over on tbe King Mill; that the opera- s tives have returned to work in the * King, and were still determined to I carry the tight on against the mill. a From Carolina the information comes that all the idle operatives have returned to work and the Horse a. Cre'k Valley mills are running on A full time. Very few of the opera tives left the mills in which they were employed when the lock out went on aLd there will be no trouble at all for these mills to keep run nig. A MOVE THAT FAILED. The mill presidnts were told this a norning that it was the in ention of the union to make an ef ort when the mills started this aorning to get those who had gone iack in the King mill to come ont gain, that a committee of twelve iad been appointed by the union to o to work in the King mill, when he bell rang, and after being at 7ork a short time to walk out again nd get about as many of the others a the mill to come out with them s they could. Chief Norris told Oresident Thomas of this, but said bere was no such efforts made by be union people, they evidently' 9eing that such a move would be ruitless. Aside from the two leaders who rere refused v ork in the Sibley mill iis morning the information comes iat as fast as the other leaders of r themselves for work in any of 1e other mills they, too, will be irned down, the mills taking the osition that they cannot afford ) have them in the building for )ar that they will talk to and an igonize the other workers. Mr. Thomas stated this morning iat he had a few families coming > Augusta from the country to go > work in the mills. They should ave gotten here this morning but r some reason did not, and are ex Bted'tomorrow, or some time early is week. MUST LEAVE HOUSES. The strongest move that has been ade on the part of the King was that this moining, when President homas had papers derved on the sti 1 riking operatives to vacate the >uses owned by the King mill with three days. Mr. Thomas says he es not see why the mill should expected to let these people stay the houses when they will be seded for other operatives, who ill be coming in to take positions the mill. He said Saturday that wanted no mention made of this ,et, because it would appear in the iape of a threat, and this was not hat he wanted; that he wanted to e the strikers every opportunity; iat the King mill is not fighting em, but merely fighting the de and for a ten per cent. increase. ~ANITEvILLE MILLS HAVE ALL THEIR LABOR. [Special to The State.] Graniteville, May, 26 -All the ills in Agusta district started up s morning after a shut down of out seven week. There had been good deal of talk about a ten per mt. raise in wages~being demanded uroughout the district, and some ad expressed doubts as to whether 1 the hands would return to work ben he time came. Out ot the )0 employed in the Graniteville id Hickmsn mills, only seven ere lacking this morning. These ill be in place, it is said, just as >on as they learn that the mills are innig. The scales of wages at the King ill, where the trouble was inaug rated, remains practically the ime. It was found that this mill as paying one forth of a cent. less sr roll on some work, and one fourth ore on other work than some of the ills. These discrepancies have en adjusted in accordance with ue proposition of the president be re the strike took effect. The only appreciable difference, so r as the operatives are concerned aancially, iF' a complete loss of over 150,000 which would have been aid to them in wages for the time iey h ave been idle. Of course it ill take some time to recover f rom ih a loss as many have been forced >go in debt and it will be one Loath from today before any wages re received. outhern RailwRy Summer Resort Folder Much valuable information; mailed -e to any address upon application to .gents, Southern Railroad.

PRESIDENT DECIDES ON MAN TO APPOINT TO THE VACANT JUDGESHIP IN THE COURT OF CLAIMS NcLaurin Considered a Winner-Has Been Sopporred by Political Opponente Who Were Personal Friends-Tillian Won't Interfere. [Special to The State.] Washington, D. C., May 28. President Roosavelt today announced that ho had determined on a man for I the vacant judgship in the court of t claims. Senator McLaurin is gen- i erally regarded as the wirner of this a juicy plum and his nomination may be sent to the senate any day. Mc Laurin's resignation from the senate will probably follow very shortly the annour -ement of his appointment. t There is a possibility that he will t then take occasion to review his E career in the senate and his reason C for resigning. The vote on the r Philippine government bill having C been set for next Tnesday, Senator e McLaurin will hardly resign from a senate before casting his vote in e support of that measure, thereby I coming to the aid of the administra- ( tion that has shown him so many favors. Shortly after Lhe death of Judge . Davis there was a great scrambling a among a number of senators to carry; off the Frize for some one of their C constituents. Senators Scott and Elkins, of West Virginia, have been 1 at the White House a number of t times to urge the name of Former e Gov. Atkinson. Senator Platt, of New York, presented the clAims of a Representative Alexander, of Baf- e falo, a personal friend of his and in t overy way a capable man for tbe place. In order to "cinch" matters for his candidate, it is said that Sen- t ator Platt introduced some New York politics into the game. At any rate President Roosevelt had a decided in favor of "Boss" Platt's t andidate and Col Alexander was re eiving the congratulations of his ore intimate friends when the pres dent's attention was called to the fact that New York already had a an on the court of claims bench. he president therefore realized that partiality would be charged if Col. Alexander, another New Yorker, were appointed, and he explained to Senator Platt that he would have to I ecall his discision. This left still a number of condidates in the field mnd ex-Gov. Atkinson apparently in; he lead. In the last few day though the list f possibilities dwindled down to one -the junmor senator from South arolina. President Roosevelt's riendship and regard for the sena ;r are known, and fathermore he would be but carrying out the wishes of President MclKinley in providing a comfortable berth for t Senator McLaurin. A juidgship on a he court of claims carries a salary of I $4,500 and a li' e tenure. Its social t advantages make the office much 1 ought after.t It has been suggested in case the ( senator was nominated for the office, I that his colleague would endeavor I to prevent his confirmation by the I senate. Friends of Senator Tillman ( :eclare that the suggestion is purely a gratuitous one and that in their I pinion he would do nothing of the I kind, either directly or indirectly ( through some of his friends in the the senate. Because for personal I reasons the senator has seen fit to hold up certain federal appointments made in South Carolina at the in stance of Senator McLaurin, is, they argue, no indication that he would do the same by his colleague's ap pointment. The reasons for which' Senator Tillman has been keepingt MLaurin appointtees on the "anx ous bench" are not, it is thought, Makesm the food moe deIL such as would cause him to hold up McLaurin's appointment to an office that is entirely remote from South Carolina politics. In this connection, it is known that a number of personal friends of Sen itor McLaurin in the senate, among :he Democrats, have been' exerting strong influence to have the senator ippointed to the court of claims. 'he Democratic senators who have >een advocating Senator McLaurin or the office happen to be among his r.ost pronounced opponents on cer ain political issues and are support ng him entirely because of their itrong personal friendship for him. But what is of more vital interest n South Carolina circles is not the 6ppointment of the senator so much a the consequences. It is believed hat Senator McLaurin will a ccept he judghip. His senatorial term xpires next March and as he is out if the race for re election there is eally very little that he could ae omplish between now and the end if his term. If he is tendered the ppointment aud accepts, he will of ourse resign his seat in the senate. Lod then what? It will be up to )ov. McSweeny. No one has sug rested that the governor will how any reluctance this time Lbout accepting resignatious from enators. Nor could he very well lecline to appoint a successor to fill iut the unexpired term of Senator dcLaurin as there will be any num >er of important qnestions comiDg ip next DeceDiber when congress onvenes. Friends of the governor leclare that he will meet the issue nd deal with it firmly when he is >ficially introduced to it, but fnrther han this they will not discuss his >ossible course. The report that the rovernor is himself harboring sena orial aspirations complicates the >ossible situation very greatly. The [uestion Palmetto politicians here ,re trying to decide is "Whom will he governor appoint ?" HARBIS AND SH AW APPOINTED, ostmafters at Charleston and sumter Re spectiveIy-Harris an Old Line Repub lcan. [Special to The State.] Washington, May 28.-President loosevelt today nominated W. L.

Wilie Jones, the State hairman, at the Carolina bank build. ng last evening there were present rom the committee Messrs. ManningC f Sumter, Griafith of Lexington, Wilborn of York, Blease of New erry, MeSweeney of Hampton, Trax Ler of Florence, Kitchen of Fairfield, ais of Clarendon and Crews of ~ aurens, and Secretary Parks. C ormer Secretary Gunter was also resent a short time. There was lo Comptroller General Derham nd State Superintendent of Educa- fi ion McMahan, who'having ideas to o resent to the committee had been 11 sked to attend. WANTED QUICK ACTION. Mr. Derham submitted a schedule e had gotton up calling for the rt meeting to be held in Orange urg on July 9 and the final meeting o be held in Greenwood on August 23. This provided~ for a continuous erformance of both parties from C start to finish, and the idea was to start one party out on the schedule hree weeks earlier tban the other, oth using the identical route. Mr. Derham claimed that it would save the candidates in hotel bills and time and be better in many otherC espects. Mr. McMahan spoke ear estly in advocacy of this quick mov ing campaign. He urged~that it was nch shorter in mileage than the chedule prepared, but did not have e figures as to mileage at hand. 1 THE PLAN. Col. Jones told with reference to what points the other campaign schedules had been prepared and held that it would be risky to change from the general arrangement. The scheule of the State meetings fort instance had been prepared with special reference to giving a large party of candidates ample time in ah plna visited, whereas the other1
