Mr Kvunn stood calmly to one side,
the crowd effecting a separation be?
tween him and Sheriff Sample in but
a moment or so after the sheriff arose.
Officers were on band and it was prac?
tically Impossible fi r Mr. Evans and
Sheriff Sample to get together. This
made It posslh'e for the little side
fight that caused such a stir.
If heat be a feature, the meetign to?
day was a corker. In the hottest lit?
tle hollow that could be found in ten
States, in a grove through which the
eun Altered by the gallons, 2,000 per?
sons, possibly one-third of whom were
ladies, and a Urge representation of
squalling nablet, sweltered in the
terrific heat, swallowed oceans of
dust, fanned themselves, gBJOffj with
vehemence. --one of them. a?<a won?
dered why they were hcie.
Possibly the most noticeable occur?
rence of the day was the collupse oi
almost every seat and stand on the
grounds e\?.pt the speakers' stand,
and even some portions of that gave
signs of weakening when human im?
position became too great.

A breath of air .va.s occasionally
gained by lighting one's way to his
feet and stretching a neck upwards as
far gbe/Vi the throng as possible.
New Ipe pei reporters had a lively

Following the line of defence of his

S!orifY Bag f. Sample, who occu

Come to :ne afterwards."
Mr. glmog Coatee, who had some
moments before come upon the stand
bringing with him Mr. Bvang1 *uit
case, staggered toward Sheriff Sample,
who thrust him aside. Mr. Sample,
however, was separated from Mr.
Evans by many others. In fact, Mr,
Sample's advance was the signal for
the onrush of a great crowd. Depu?
ties were soon on hand, but nothing
was done. Attention was rivited up?
on Messrs. Evans and Sample; moan
while the near-annihlllatlon of Mr.
C'oates took place.
There werg some pistols on the
stand but none was brought Into
view. Neither Mr. Evans nor Mr.
Sample was seen to make a motion as
if to draw. Indeed, a moment later.
Mr. Evans declared that he carried
no pistol. Mr. Coats was carried off
by two men, whether officers or not
I* not known, and. although quiet was
not fully restored, and the s'and was
still thronged. Mr. Evans proceeded
with his speech.

When Mr. Evans was about to
leave the stand, former County Treas?
urer Walter Satcher asked what was
I n the letter addressed to him In re?
ference to the tax executions Sheriff
Sample had been connected With and
which Evans had quoted.
I "You received a letter," said Mr.

The Attorney General made a very
effective speech, employing dignified
but strong language.
Governor Bleaae was given a roue
ng ovation upon his appearance. Af?
ter some personal reference he an
ticlpated Judge Jones' argument on
the separate coach matter by de?
claring that the solid Edgelield dele?
gation and the Solid Saluda delega?
tion had voted against Judge Jones
on that proposition, and that J. Wil?
liam Thurmond, his opponent's cam?
paign manager, fought In the legisla?
ture for the hills Judge Jones on
posed.
in reference to the pardons and pa
rola he had granted in Baluda coun?
ty, Governor Bleaae explained his rea?
sons in detail. W. L. Henderson, Al?
fred Free? Morgan ThXgUklll and Si?
mon Taylor were named and In each
Instance there were strong petitions
presented by reputable delegations. J
I William Thurmond, said the Govern?
or, had been instrumental in securing
some of them, especially the Thrall
kill parole.
Thurmond was the solicitor who
[prosecuted Thrallltlll and he recom
Imended the parole.
J The Governor declared that the
$900,000 improvements in the State
Capitol would not have been us heavy
a tux as the Supreme Court building
that "Jones and his aristocrats want?
ed."
Among other things tfle Governor
said: "I am so proud to know that I
have a cousin (Abney) who could
fool Jones out of so may decisions
while he was on the Supreme Bench."
Governor Blease ^read portions of
a circular letter written by J. William
Thurmond, asking that the recipient
"be active for Judge Jones and be at
the polls all day. If this letter should
I fall into the hands of a man not
j friendly to Judge Jones, please re?
turn it."
Governor Bleaae touched upon his
pardon record, his contention as U>
special Judges, the separate coach
I question, the Investigating committee
and the King and Watson incident in
Columbia.
The chairman by mistake notified
the Governor that his time wag out,
but, correcting his error in a mo?
ment, an admirer of the Governor
uttered a fervent "Thank God."
Judge Jones was warmly greeted
by his friends In the audience, and
after reference to the fact that he
had married in Saulda county, his
[wife being the daughter of Capt.
'Joseph Wise, and to the fact that he,
in the Constitutional Convention in
l^'.o.. helped make Saulda county,
launched at once Into discussion of
lovernor Blease'a policies in office.
He laid down the general proposi?
tion that the principles espoused by
Bleaae were diametrically opposed
to those he advocated, Mention of the
Governor*! name called further hur
.rahs for Bleaae, and the turbulence
continued for a time. There was no
concerted effort to howl down the
I Speaker, but the intermittent yells
I for the Governor made it difficult for
Judge Jones to speak connectedly,
j Tlie speaker won a big laugh on
j the Bleaaeltea, scored well and arous?
ed his somewhat doubting, certainly
Infra unenthuslastic friends, by his
tactics in explaining the separate
' coach question,
"Would Governor Blease stand for
social equality?" asked judge Jones.
"No," thundered some of the Gov
' emor'a admirers.
I "Would Governor lilease vote for
man who favored social equality?"
again asked the speaker,
j "No," came back from the audi?
ence,
I "Well. Governor lilease \ot,.,; for
me t o Speaker ul the Mouse, re
turned Judge Jones and the audience
broke into uproarlng applause.
j "Vol inen who accept Governor
!.i< ' i'- word as law and gospel,
what co you aay to that?" asked the
speako*. "You know it is mere poll
Mcal ' t to talk about my favoring
social equality, and l won't dwell fai
I th? r on it."
Judge Jones had previously stated
that tl ? lt< v, n, P. ?ooaer, of this

had heard the Governor's remark
about crumbs, said to her mother:
Why, mother, the hogs never leave
any crumbs."
As to why he wanted to be Gov?

Jones stated the policies he favored,

A CANNING FACTORY.
j i><> THE FARMERS <:l SL'MTER
( Ol .M Y WANT A LAXMX(i
FACTORY.
i If the Farmers Will Agree to Urow
i the Produce Necessary Such a
j Factory Will ix? Established.
The Sumter Chamber <?f Com?
merce has for some time been work?
ing on the problem of seeur.ng a
i canning factory for Sumter. And a
number one manager of this factory
has been secured and without doubt
the factory will be established, pro?
vided the farmers will agree to plant
sufheient acreage of the produce
needed at the prices prevalent
throughout the country. The total
capital needed to start such a fac?
tory is relatively small or about $1?'.
000. If the necessary acreage can be
secured steps will be taken to raise
the amount needed and the actual
building of the plant will be started
in the fall, so as to bo ready for next
year's crop.
The factory will furnish all seed
and plants needed at wholesale price?
to those who may enter Into the con?
tract.*? to grow the produce. The
manager of the factory will assist the
farmer in every way, both in plant?
ing and harvesting the crop, where
ever his advice is requested. The
main produce needed will be toma?
toes, sweet potatoes and green beans.
All other produce will be taken care
of without contract and at prevalent
wholesale prices. The factory will
also can fruit and berries. The far?
mer is now requested to signify to
the Secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce or to Mr. R. B. Heiser,
director of this department, how
many acres of each product he will
plant. The banks will also be fur?
nished with cards to be filled out 1
the farmers for the same purpose.
Those farmers who may think of
taking up this proposition should re?
member that under the contract that
they will be expected to sign later,
that the factory agrees to take every
bushel of produce grown upon the
acreage agreed upon and at the prices
named. The farmer at the same time
agrees to sell to the factory at the
prices, agreed Upon, every bushel of
produce that he may grow thereon.
It Should also be borne in mind that
while the prices named may seem low
for the early produce that it is de?
livered in wholesale lots ami no mat?
ter what the prevalent local market
may pay for the same produce the
factory Is obliged to pay the same
stable prices. In other words, when
the local market is paying ?">?> cents
I per bushel for tomatoes the factory
Will be paying but 30 cents, but later
i in the season w hen the local market
' is Hooded and they could not be sold
I at any price the factory w ill still be
paying 30 cents. At the same time
the trouble ami expense of peddling
! is done away with, cash is paid at a
time when cash is most needed, and
the farmer is always assured of his
[market. In the case of tomatoes and
green beans, it often possible to
I plant other crops upon the same
[ground after these crops have been
harvested.
The committee earnestly feels that
this factory will be of the greatest
benefit t<? the farmers of the county,
jit will aid in diversification and in
I tat Ion and l'ting that which has been
'sorely needed, a certain market at a
j set price. The crops determined up?
on ale such as ale perfectly familiar
to tin- farmers and need but little
more care than those now grown.
The tomatoes are of the buch va?
riety and need no greater care than
corn. As the factory grows and ex?
pands, other crops will be tried, such
as English peas. 1'or yean we have
been talking of the Southern farmer
Sending his raw material out of the
state and buying the finished product
when it can as well be manufactured
at home. Now is the opportunity of
growing, manufacturing and keep?
ing this money at home, it is a
chance to become Independent of the
northern manufactured product. It
i> possible that the farmers will want
to plant more than the factory can
catv for. If so it will be a case of
first come, tirst served and those far?
mers who make the Hrsl applications
for tins acreage will be given the first
? pportunlty,
Relow is given t table of the three
main producta needed, with prices
paid, average vi<M of same and

enc, v A\ed its quota of men as
/stopped there and the Tim
/ie Guards were marched
abo./d while the train was at that
busy little town. The next stop was
Sumter where the local men joined
the other companies on the train
and the Orangeburg company also
got aboard here, being moved by
rail from Orangeburg to this place
to join the regiment here. The oth?
er companies from Edgefield, Co?
lumbia and Camden joined the regi?
ment at Columbia, where the regi
ment was divided into two parts and
moved over th^ Columbia, New
berry and I-aurens road as far as
Clinton. Here the trains were taken
in charge by the Seaboard which car?
ried the troops on to Atlanta. From
Atlanta the men of the second regi?
ment will be taken in charge by the
Southern, which runs them on into
Anniston to the encampment ground*.
The train when it left Hartsville
was under the command of Liuef.
Col. C. B. Yeadon, but Col. C. P.
Lipscomb assumed command at Co?
lumbia when the regiment assembled
'at that place. All arrangements for
transportation had been practically
completed previously and the sched?
ule for the special train on which
the Sumter company l>?ft was carried
out as arranged.
1 Each company is required to have
at least ^s men on the encampment.
The Sumter Light Infantry will havt
4 2 men from Sumter. The officers of
the company are: Captain Geo. C.
Warren; 1st. Lieut. P. M. Brown;
Second Lieut. Wayne Mellette; 1st.
Sergeant Ed Bradford. Former 1st
Sergeant B. O. Cantey stood the of?
ficer's examination last week and, af?
ter a successful examination, was ap?
pointed battalion quartermaster and
commissary. He will be missed from
the company of which he has been
first s-rgeant lor several years.
I Besides the company officers and
the members of the company who
have always taken an enthusiastic
part in the encampments and dis
'played much interest in the work on
'the national guard, Sumter has con?
tributed a number of the regimental
staff and line officers, furnishing sev
leral aide and successful oiiicers in
this regard. The line officers from
Sumter are Lieutenant Colonel C. B.
j Yeadon ami Major .1. YY. Bradford of
the third battalion; on the Staff are
I
Capt. Geo. W. Hutchcson, regimental
Quartermaster in charge of trans?
portation; H. P. Mii^, regimental
!Sergeant major; K. M. Hall, regiment?
al quartermaster sergeant.
The nu n expect to have a line time
on the encampment. Reports of the
men from other regiments who have
returned have reached them that
there will not be so much march?
ing, as the area for the manoeuvers
is not so extended as at Chicka?
mauga. and that the people of An?
