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

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

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. For the last several ?

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

Patronize Home Enterprise.
Isn't it awful. 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. ? Tift on (Ga) Gazette, via
