THE AFFAIR AT WHITMIRE. Blease's Home Paper Censures Governor lor Personal Attack. We were present at the Whitrr.ire meeting on last Saturday when Gov: Blease spoke. We heard the tilt be- i tween Mr William Coleman and the' Governor. We regret that it took place. We are constrained to saythat we do not think the Governor was justified in his attack on Mr Coleman. We have known Mr Coleman for a good many years. We know something of the work he is * ?- - TT 7 L: 1 * doing at wnumire. wnue uui ? political supporter of the Governor, as a mark of respect to him. he came down to the meeting to hear him speak when he was a guest of the town. We do not think that a candidate for office nor an office seeker has a right or is justified in making a personal attack on private citizens who happen not to be political supporters of them. Mr Coleman is a private citizen and has a right to his own opinions. The Governor produced no evidence that Mr Coleman had used any undue influence to prejudice the operatives in his mill against the Governor. We feel the incident was very unfortunate. From all that we have seen and heard of Mr Coleman and his mill he has been kind to the employes of the mill and has done what he could for their comfort and betterment and they all hold him in high esteem. He has encouraged the building of a good school and the levying of taxes to maintain :t, the greater part of which are paid by property of the mill. He has built a fine office building and in it has provided a hall which is used by the operatives for a lodge hall and any other meeting which they may desire to hold. We esteem Mr Coleman as a high-toned gentleman and do not think that the Governor should have made the attack on him which he did, or that he was justified in doing it, and we regret that he did. We can not see where it can accomplish any good.?Newberry New and Herald. G POPE IRBY A SUICIDE. Was Son of Former Senator J L M Irby of Laurens County. Charleston, June 4:?G Pope Irby, son of former United States Senator John L M Irby of Laurens, committed suicide early this morning on his farm near Mount Holly, 18 miles from Charleston, according to the coroner's verdict. Irby shot himself twice with buckshot after eating breakfast and instructing his , farm hands. He is alleged to have said the wounds were self-inflicted. Friends are at a loss to discover a motive and intend to investigate further. Irby was 32 years of age and had been at Mount Holly about six months. lrby managed a farm one and onehalf miles from Mount Holly, in Berkeley county. He lived alone in a house, his cooking and housekeeping being done by Mary Hill, a negro woman. After he had eaten breakfast this morning, he gave instructions to his farm employes concerning some work to be done during the day. He is said to have retired to his room and shot himself after closing the door. Hearing the shots Mary Hill ran to the house of Lee Starnes, a neighbor, and he hastened to the home. Going into the bedroom of the house he found lrby lying on the floor with the lower part of his body 1 practically torn away. At the inquest Starnes stated that lrby admitted to him that his wounds were self-inflicted, but gave no reason for his deed. He lived about ten 1 minute3. It is believed that Irby's suicide, if it was such, might have been prompted by financial difficulties, * although some of his friends persist * in the belief that the shooting was j accidental.

The Harmony Presbyterial which met with the ladies of Union Presbyterian church May 29, 30 and 31,was an occasion of great enjoyment, a very large number of delegates being in attendance from the various churches in the Presbytery. The addresses were very fine and much enjoyed by every one present. We had with us Dr and Mrs Little, of our mid-China mission, who made very interesting addresses on our work in China. The meeting was one of great importance, as was manifested by the deep interest taken in every session; as a result the ladies' society here has made several changes in its management which will be of much benefit to the work. We all hope that the Presbyterial will visit Union church again before long. The new Methodist parsonage here is going up rapidly, and when completed will be a credit to our town, and will be among the best in the district. Rev W T Bedenbaugh filled his appointment here Sunday. Rev W I Sirmott filled his appointment at Lake City Sunday morning and night.

Mabel,when a mercantile establishment located right in your home town sends you a bill itemized on a sheet printed in St Louis and mailed in a Government envelope? How is a printer going to live under such circumstances as this and,again, how can he pay that bill? We cannot imagine anything worse than owing a bill and being reminded of it on St Louis stationery in a Government envelope. Hush that gabble and quit buying from that guy. ?
