AHB MtLLALLY FKATl'RK OF DAY. Factional Lines Sharply Drawn by Opposing Sides?Malining .\ttack? ed by Klnunx and Richards?Irby Kxcoriatc* Richard*?Smith and Browning Denounce Klimlnation Conference. Xewberry, Aug. 12.?There was a near tight on the stand at the State campaign meeting here today when Richard I. Manning Interrupted John B. Adger Mullally in the midst of his speech and said that all the personal remarks Mr. Mullally had made about him were "maliciously false." The crowd cheered and yelled, some for Mr. Manning and some for Gov. Blease. Mr. Manning also said: "I have only been restrained from noticing you on account of a piece I saw in a New York newspaper about your condition and I do not intend to notice you fur? ther." The crowd thronged around the stand, but no blows passed and the incident was closed except for the fac? tional feeling that had been awak? ened. That cropped out again during the speech of John Q. Richards. The attacks, which yesterday were intra-party, today covered more terri? tory and became inter-party. William C, Irby, Jr., and Charles Carroll Simms again attacked John Q. Rich? ards. The Newehrry people met the cam? paign party at the station with au? tomobiles and later took them to the, grounds. The newspaper men were entertained oy E. H. Aull, editor of The Herald and News. The meeting was called to order at 10.30 o'clock by Joseph L. Keltt. county chairman, in a grove on the edge of town. Richard I. Manning was the first candidate for governor to speak. He said that he was running in this cam? paign on principle, free from abuse of other candidates. He told of his life as a farmer and his aid to cot? ton growers several years ago in get? ting money for the handling of the crops. Mr. Manning denied fore-knowl? edge of the elimination conferences, repudiating the insinuations that have been given by some of his op? ponents.. He adovcated local option compulsory education, as each county should know best how It can stand and enfore such a law. Mr. Manning then went into the Importance of electing the next gov? ernor of the State. He repeated his wish for peace and harmony. "When we have a boil,' he asked, 'do wj not have to take out Its head? I tell you that the main issue is the perpetuation of the policies of the present administration.' He then* went on to score the pardon record of Oov. Blease, stating that there could be no reasonable explanation of laying aside the verdicts a*d sen? tences of more than 1,250 juries and judges. He stated that he would be the governor of all people and was cheered when he concluded. John B. Adger Mullally then spoke. "I say to you," said Mr. Manning, stepping up to Mr. Mullally, who had become personal in his attack, "that every statement you have said About me Is maliciously false." The crowd encouraged the belligerents. Mr. Manning went on to say: "I have only been restrained from noticing you on account of a piece I saw in a New York newspaper about your condition and I do not intend to notice you further." The disorder was smoothed over In a few minutes. John O. Richards said: "I believe that Richard I. Manning is responsi? ble for more factionalism than any other six men in the race.' He then went on to say that Mr. Manning had been Inconsistent, as he had bewailed factionalism and yet was the first to Inject the Issue In the campaign. He said that the "newspaper oli? garchy, the Columlha State and News and Courier leading," has been doing its best to do away with the county to-county campaign and restrict the ballot. Mr. Richards went on to say that 'u? knew that he was not swinging to any man's ?coattail and that he did not think aji.v of the six antl .ulministration candidates are swing? ing 10 Senator Smith's coattall, "I have SCOtcHed them all." he re? plied to a i|uestio>ji of an auditor. He was given a boiuffiet. Charles Carroll Bimms said that all the "shorthorns" Lowndes J. t Browning had ever raised on his farm 'were the other live antl-Hleass men 1 in the gubernatorial race. .Mr. Slintns then want on to ques? tion the elnoerlty of Mr. Manning In injecting the factional la-uio. Ho pro dieted that there wer?* going to be I two Blease men in the second race. Prom thiN point he dlrerged bin at? tack against John Q. Richards. He ridiculed his opponent on irjs claim of "farmer/1 saying that its had voted to repeal the lien law. He took Mr. Richards to task for his changing attitude on the liquor question. He presented for inspection the several political friendships of Mr. Richards. Charles A. Smith said that he was not one of those who changes with every shifting wind that blows, but! that he was making his race on the same platform he advocated four years ago. Mr. Simms favored a rural credits law which would make it possible for small farmers to own their homes and farms. He repeated his stand on the liquor question. Mendel L. Smith launched at once into an attack on the Aiken elimina? tion plan, saying that from three can? didates they had narrowed down to two, leaving out Mr. Clinkscales, and next week they will reduce It to ne Mr. Smith Bald that he had never voted for Blease in any of his races and that his anti-Hleaseism was well known. He said that he was not pleading for factionalism on one stump and for peace and harmony on another. Mr. Smith then went on to speak of the work of the State board of health and favored its expansion. "I do not want the vote," said Mr. Smith, "and influence of such men as Chicco of Charleston and would, un? der no circumstances, encourage or accept it. I have given men in Char? leston written statements to this ef fet and have urged upon my friends not in any way to solicit it but to avoid it." He condemned the abuse of the pardoning power. Lowndea J. Browning scored the in? tentions of the elimination confer? ences, saying that any candidate who might have withdrawn from the race would have had "feathers on his legs down to his toes." Mr. Browning then discussed the "refunding bill" of 1912 and his work fn the legislature in connection with the finances of the State. He ex? plained in outline his plan of rural credits. He called attention to the fact that 21 per cent of the land? owners in the State are negroes and urged' this as one reason for getting more white farmers in the State. He condemned the inadequacy of the present personal property tax, advo? cating a graduated tax on inheritances and incomes. Mr. Browning was given a basket of fruit. John Q. Clinkscales repeated his stand on the liquor question, telling a joke at the expense of Charles A. Smith. He disclaimed any intent to criticise any of his competitors. He said that he "was in the running" and was far from being eliminated. Mr. Clinkscales then went into an explanation of his plan of compul? sory education. Robert A. Cooper repeated his plea that the people vote for the State on August 25. He explained hiB posi? tion .1 education and outlined his plan for advancing the farming in? terests of the State by establishing a farm demonstration school in each county as a part of the general edu action scheme. He told of his stand in favor of the strict enforcement of law. John T. Duncan discussed the "system." William C. Irby, Jr., excoriated the immigration bureau and the cotton mill trust. He advocated a commis? sion to investigate the condition and the finances of the mills. "Mr. Richards," said Mr. Irby. "at the Union meeting tried to explain why he is unwilling to tell how he voted two years ago, while so anxious to tell how he will vote on the 25th inst. He spoke as follows: 'At that time I was a candidate for an office that was administrative and I did not think that the question of how I was ?going to vote was pertinent to my candidacy. Why was it not just as pertinent then as now? Mr. Rich? ards class to be voting for Gov. Blease now because he is 'close to the masses of the people.' I ask him why Gov. Blease was not just as 'close to the masses of the people' when he was giving Judge Jones' record, which tended to show that Judge Jones had been too close ,to j the railroads and other big corpor? ations. Was it not more necessary then than now for him to declare himself in order to let the people judge as to whether he, Mr. Rich? ards, would be too close to the rail? roads In questions Involving the rights and welfare of the people? "Mr. Richards also stated that while he had told no one bow be would vote he might have been mis? understood. Mr. Mr. Richards made statements to men on both sides, which practically meant that he was ' with them, it was equivalent to say 1 ing he would vote with them. "Mr. Slmms," continued Mr. Irby, i "has charged that Mr. Richards voted I for Jones and he has not denied it. Prom all the facts in the case Mr. Richards must have thought the re? sult In doubl and have been afraid j to risk his chances of election hy ! Joining in the light and voting for Judge Jones, but now that Mr. Itlch srds has four more years as railroad commissioner and thinks Gov 1 Mease so strong us to used no defense, Mr. Richards rushes" into our ranks i<> try to get the spoils of victory. "1 would .suggest to Mr. Richards that instead of trying to explain wh> he is so anxious to tell what he Will do on the 25th inst., and why he will not tell how he voted two years ago. an honest confession would have been better for bis soul." The meeting adjourned at I.JO o'clock. The candidates will speak tomorrow at Laurens. NOTED INVENTOR DIES. Newark. N. J., Aug. 12.?John P. Holland, Inv ntor of the submarine that bears his name, died of pneu? monia here tonight. He was 72 years c Tho United Sttaes government took over his invention. Although a builder of war vesels.

Ill Mil MI TO PROTKCT TH A DK. London, Aug?. 11.?The admiralty has Rent out cruisers to ply the At? lanta and protect trade routes. The French government also has sent out warships to search for Orman cruis? ers. "The <-t emy's ships," says the offi? cial admiralty report, "will he hunted continually, and although some time may elapee before they are run down, they will be kept too busy to do much mischief. "A number of fast merchant ves? sels, fitted and armed at British arsenals, also arc patrolling the routes and keeping them clear of German commerce-raiders. With ev? ery day that passes their control of trade routes, especially those of the Atlantic, becomes stronger. In the North Sea. where the Hermans have scattered mines indiscriminately, und where the most formidable opera? tions 01 the naval war are proceed? ing, the admiralty can give no reas? surances."
