Madlac n. Wla>, June 28.?Senator LaPollttte in a signed editorial in fell weekly paper today says in part: "Until Hoosevtlt came out into the open as a candidate there was a strong and rapidly growing progres? sive movement within the Republican party. It had assumed national pro? portion* and was united, into this movement Koosevelt projected his third term ambition. He spent weeks planning the so-called spontaneous c ill for hi 'if and responded with the announcement that he was a rveoptlve candidate. His candidacy began to drag and he and his friends In despair became desperate and then railed an enormous campaign fund. In the history of American politics there has never been a pri? mary campaign for president ap? proaching the extravagant expendi? tures made in his campaign. Men notoriously Identified with the steel and harvester trusts became Roose? velt's most active supporters and fi? nancial lackers. Fortunately Roose? velt did not secure the nomination which would have compromised the progressive movement and defeated real achievement for four years. Up? on Roosevelt and his blind followers rests the responsibility of having di? vided the progressives In the first na? tions! contest Stimulated by his over-mastering desire to win he de? nounced loyalty to conviction and principle as s'.ubborn selfishness. He substituted vulgar personalties and coarse epithets of the prize ring for the serlou* consideration of economic problems, and ail but destroyed the progressive movement within the party. itut the progressive move? ment does not consist ot a few self constituted leaders, but of millions of thoughtful and independent clti/en . N.r . g|g i ti.m of special Interests snd political expediency can secure control of the progressive cause which Is ultimately to redeem demo? cracy and r ?toic the control of the government to tho people."

Blouse Men Prevent Jones Reply? ing; to "Social liquidity" Charge? .louts Talks oil ruble Issues, Mak? ing Strong SiH'tH'ii. Marios, June 27.?In glorious mood today Governor Cole I* Blease laughed and talked wiih his audi SSOS at he Sta'.u campaign meeting to the 'Utire satisfaction Oj his friends, und again today Jud;;e Jones w s denied the right to reply. This time, however, Governor Blease did HOI setk to prevent it. Part of the crowd raised lusty yells every time the speaker attempted to explain his vote on the separate coach law. Governor Blease stood hard by, but not In the angry, detlant attitude that he displayed at Blshopvllle lest Wednesday. In fact, the Governor was In a very good humor. He doubtless did not make as strong a speech gg on former occasions, but he handled the crowd to his own lik? ing. That does not mean that it was a Blease crowd in Marlon today. In fact, som ? local connoisseurs claim that the majority present were Jone3 men. Be that a? it may, the Blease crowd made the most noise and they made It very effective in preventing Judge Jones' attempted reply on the social equality imputations. A few hisses for Blease were heard at one time. Aside from the fact that the melt? lng, attended by nearly 1,000 voters, broke up in good natured confusion, the features of the day were the per? sonal thrusts directed by Governor Blease toward Judire Jones. The Gov? ernor made flank attacks upon his opponent's legal action and his ability as a Judge; the Hist, by saying the reason no railroad had employed Judge Jones was that he did not have 3ense enough to represent them; the second. that Tillman couldn't get good lawyers over m his side and had to take the best he could secure. Perhaps the most severe trust, however,, was a comparison, by anal? ogy, of Judge Jones with Booker T. Washington. Said Governor Blease: 1 ihink if the President of the Unit? ed States could afford to entertain Booker T. Washington, I could afford to entertain Ira B. Jones." As before Intimated. Governor Blease was In a great humor, and it 13 safe to say that the keen edge of his thrusts was thereby dulled in a measure. At least they were not caustic and bitter, and the sting WOS not all there. Judge Jones today delivered a stronger address, from the view? point of constructivenesx, than he has yet presented. He devoted less tine to his opponent and urged matters for the sober, serious consideration of the people. Speaking prior to Governor Blease he did not even mention the seperate coach law. and It was to the Governor's repeated charge he wished to reply. Y. >i. o. A.

The Meting in Columbia to Organize state Commercial Body is Impor taut. gumter should be represented by large delegation at Columbia on July sth. Every <iiy in the stau? is to be there.

It is neces? sary that the replies should be mail? ed or telephoned to the secretary im? mediately. If the business men of Sumter do not show a sufficient in? terest In this State organization, it will be impossible to run the special train end to take the Sumter Band. The various cities Of tht State are bending every effort to make this meeting the great success it should be. They are certain to have a big bunch of boosters at Columbia. Will Sumter fall down? In the afternoon of the meeting, the permanent State Chamber of Commerce will be formed. Sumter should have one of the executive of? fices, and this will depend upon the size of her delegation.

All this and more can be undertaken by such an or? ganization SS the one proposed. The question for the Sumter busi? ness men to consider is, Is Sumter to have a part in this work? MBy all means," you say. It is very pleasant to hear you say so but grand eloquent speeches concerning Sumter's present and past greatness and our duty to our city won't do it. What we want is action. That speaks a Whole lot louder that hot air.

"Have any of the Scribes aud Phari? sees believed on Him?" Hence Jesus declared that these representatives of Divine things were doubly responsi? ble, for they would neither enter into discipleship themselves, nor would they permit the public to do so. That Jesus did many miracles could not be disputed, and that on many oc? casions He cast out demons could not a Am be denied. The ? Scribes explained fL this, however, by Baying that Jesus had collusion with Beelzebub (Satau), ^ and that by his -? power He was able casUAh to cast out demons Ua." But Jesus answered that if it was true that Satan had turned reformer aud was opposing bis own minious, the demons, then it proved that iis king? dom would soou fall. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit. The fact that today many religious systems practice faith-healing Is claim? ed to be a mark of Divine approval, on the strength of our Lord's words. Yet we have, in opposition to their asser? tions, to remember that those who claim to exercise this power very gen erally deny the existence of the (Jos pel of Christ. Some of them deny that man is a sinner, and declare that there is no such thing as sin. Prac? tically all of them deny the redemptive value of Christ's death, and that He will come again and establish His King? dom and through it bring to mankind the promised blessings of restitution to human perfect ion.?Acts iii, 19-21. There is only one answer to make to the claim that theas fa it h-hea liners prove the truth of these various an tagonistic doctrines, and that answer is the one which Jesus here states. If their faith-healing power be uot of God It must be of the Adversary; and if it be of the Adversary it proves that he is upholding false and contradictory doctrines, and that the collapse of his dominion is nigh This view is im pressing itself upon Bible students. Addressing the Pharisees, who charg ed Him with being Satan's prime min ister and agent. Jesus declared that all manner of sin and blasphemy which men commit are forgivable, excel'1 blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not say that the Scribe and Pharisees bad committed this stti: He did. however, give the warning i?? proof that those who could thus see the righteousness of His teachings, bow He glorified God In His words and ac? tions, and could then impute all of this to Satan, must be perverse In their hearts, and if so. they w.aild be in danger of eternal condemnation, the Second Death; they would be like "nat? ural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed."?11 Peter ii. 12; Acts iii. 23 "Hath Never Forgiveness." The Bible teaches that the penalty of Ad.im's siu was death, but that under Divine providence 2ssV^3*? the work cf Jesus is to release ttU mankind from that death sentence and give to ail an op ^JcJHk portuntty of return ing to harmony with God by bring Ing all to a clearer knowledge of the ?

Forbes, hydrantman; Ormsby Blandina*, driver; Al Keels, bnttman; Cliff Brown? breaker; Har? ry Weeks, nozzleman; Herman Phelphs and Ryan White, bosemen. All of the members of the team were very much pleased at their treatment in Rock Hill and stated that they had a most enjoyable trip. There was a very big cowd at the tournament and everything came off very pleasantl. Chief Wilder, in speaking of the work of the team, stated that it c ould not have been better, and the men were to be highly congratulated on their perfect work in making connections in the races. Ha stated that he thought the horse on the first day had become frightened at the crowd and that it was this which had prevented Sumter's team from win? ning. As it was the Sumter team made quicker connections from the hydrant than any other team which contested. The thing the boys were most jub liant over was the breaking of the I State record and the forming of a : new record, which other teams will have to hurry to break in the fu j ture.
