LYNCHING IN PICKENS COUNTY. Negro Put to Death for Crime ^ Against Farmer's Wife. Greenville, July 1:?Charged with having attempted to ravish the wife of a farmer of Pickens countv. and with shooting her twice in the back with a single barreled shotgun,as she xan through the field to hex husband Brooks Gordon, a young negro, was taken from the custody of the Sheriff by a determined mob late Saturday afternoon and lynched. According to reports from Easley ^ Gordon attacked the woman as she was at work in the field at 10 o'clock Saturday. She broke loose from him and ran through the fields toward her husbund, who was about a half mile away. The negro carried a single barrelled shotgun and demanded to know of the woman if she intended to reN port the matter to her husband. She replied as she ran that she would rtell her husband, and then the negro leveled the gun at her and fired. The wound did not deter the woman in her purpose. The woman is expected to recover: ?.... ? Uraent to Corn Club Boys. To the members of the Boys' Corn Club of Williamsburg county: Dear Boys: ?

Andrews.July 1:?Your scribe at ] tended the campaign meeting of th< j State candidates at Georgetowr ! Saturday, June 29. The candidate: for Railroad Commissioner spok< first, each presenting his claims foi the office, especially old Mr Canslei of Tirzah. If it's to be given to th< I longest winded man Mr Cansler wil 1 win this time. He has been in th< race since Wade Hampton's time. TVio oan/^iHotoc fr>r Attnrnev Gen eral spoke next?Lyon, Earl, Evani and Peeples. Mr B B Evans accusec the State of great graft in the old dispensary. He said her officers hac stolen hundreds of thousands o1 dollars.lt seems that to put an hon est man's hands on dispensary monej starts him to stealing at ence. A1 four candidates for Attorney Gen eral made strong pleas for the office The next candidates in order wen McLaurin and Carter for State Treasurer. Mr Carter is a bright ane ambitious young man and made i strong plea to the 1,500 voters pres ent and was given great applause a the end of his speech. Mr McLaurir also made a good speech. The unopposed candidates wen not present. Hon J E Ellerbe, Con gressman from the Sixth district was present but did not speak. Gov Cole L Blease was the nex 1 TT. 1 speaKer. ne arose unuer a uiuuuei of applause and handclaps. Th< Governor made his usual fiery speed and told his hearers that his oppo nent.Ira B Jones, voted with the ne gro Anderson, then in the Legisla ture from Georgetown, and a negrc from Beaufort, five different time; against the Jim Crow law, and saic to the Georgetown people: "He triec by this act to make your wives anc daughters ride in the same seat wit! the big buck negro men and negn wenches." He also said MrJonei voted for a divorce law.' Some on? said he (Jones) wanted two wives. Gov Blease then referred to some ol the people in Georgetown not beinj satisfied with his appointment of Mi J B Johnson and Mr Munnerlyn ai Road Engineer and Mr J Waltei Doar as Superintendent of Educa tion, but he said if they did not like it,to help themselves. He was glac to have a chance to ram it dowr their throats. He said his opponent had got mad in the House and re signed as Speaker. He also got mac with him (Blease) because he woulc not appoint a special Judge to hole court at Columbia and resigned his office as Chief Justice. He has now become an honorary ex-Chief Justice and has lost his calling. The Gov ernor was presented by the ladies of Georgetown with a box of flow ers as large as he could carry, and was met at West Andrews on the afternoon train and given flowers and loudly cheered by the ladies anc little girls. Hon Ira B Jones also attemptec to have his say but was howled dowr by the yells for Blease. Judge Jones referred to the Blease badges thai J i TU. ene truwu wuic txa guauu . xnt crowd was fully marked with Blease badges. Mr Jones was not giver fair play. While the report of this meeting in the Sunday News was misleading and untrue, there wen about 1,500 voters present, about 75"o of whom were Blease men. After all had their say, Mr Duncan made a very creditable speech, but only a small number of voters stayed to hear him. On the train from Georgetown tc Andrews in the afternoon there were several fights, and a Mr Cannon oi Andrews was badly cut with a knife and some other men otherwise hurt, all over the rolitics of the day.

Baltimore, July 3:?For President . ?Governor Woodrow Wilson of ^ New Jersey. j For Vice President ? Governor 3 Thos R Marshall of Indiana. | This was the ticket completed by; the Democratic National Convention l i at 1:56 a. m. today, j The nomination of Governor Mar[ shall, for Vice President, came as j! something of a surprise, for, when f the night's balloting for Vice Pres- ? ident began it seemed that the tl J1 Bryan-Wilson contingent in the Con- j j vention had definitely settled uoon tl Governor John E Burke, of North ? Dakota. > There was not much of a fight , however, and when two ballots disj I closed Marshall easily in the lead, 1 l Governor Burke's name was with- c drawn and Marshall was proclaimed * t the nominee by acclamation. A * . minute later the Convention had ad- . journed sine die. i r* nm : ??4 governor wnson was iiunmm-eu i i at the afternoon session on the for1 ty-sixth ballot, and his nomination, : like that of Governor Marshall tot! night, was quickly made unanimous. 1 The best of feeling pervaded both a I sessions. 11 Mr Bryan had announced his intention of introducing a resolution in effect discharging the national _' committee from the conduct of the coming campaign and allow Governor Wilson to appoint his own camj paign committee. He was dissuadj' ed from this course, and, instead of j making a move that might have j stirred up strife, he made a little j speech which he termed his "vale3 dictory" and in happy mood turned , over the mantle of his former leadership as a presidential candidate to F Governor Wilson. * Notice of Election?Trustees School v . | District No 27.

This statement may be correct, jut the good Governor did say he d 'avored letting them have all their J .ax money for their schools. p Furthermore he advised the ne- tl froes not to be cowards and if a 6 vhite man comes to his house and icts somewhat indecorous,shoot hell >ut of him, and if the courts send rou to the penitentiary, I will par- 0 Ion every one.
