Mrs. Harriet Pee Lynch, president of the South Carolina Equal Suffrage League, was one of the speakers at the opening session of the State Federation of Labor in Greenville last Monday. The Greenville Daily News in its account of the meeting said: "Mrs. Harriet P. Lynch, of Cheraw, president of the State Equal Suffrage League, was interesting and instructive in her discussion of the changes of economical conditions brought about by the massing of capital and the agge^ation of labor, and impressed the part oragnized labor had done to improve conditions. She pleaded for woman's ballot, asking that they be allowed as good conditions in the workshop as men, and that this was a necessary factor to obtain this coming reality." iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit iiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiig r\ QC = Lt E ally's | Always Fresh | eld Drug Go. | iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiff think it by Trading Store itter for you or any money on your pur3e accomplished, howfirst-class store that prices.

Judge M. J. Hough presided, introducing the speakers in his usual dignified manner. I When the speaking was only fairly begun it looked as though the crowd was in to witness* some pretty "rough stuff." ( Dr. E. C. L. Adams, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, had followed Mr. Bethea, his opponent, on the , stand, and at the conclusion of his speech, was attacked by Mr. A. A. Wilkes, of Darlington, a former school mate of Mr. Bethea. , The concluding portion of Dr. Adam's speech was a joke about a negro's pig in a bag becoming a . puppy at the other enrl i: ? In applying this to the conduct of Mr. Bethea, Dr. Adams said he didn't , "care to have anything to do with ; any man who was a Christian at one end of the line and a crook at the , other." Dr. Adams was walking to ( the door at the back of the stage with these as his concluding words when he was intercepted by Mr. Bethea ( who asked what was that he had said. "I said it," Dr. Adams replied. In- , stantly Mr. Wilkes flashed through < the doorway and landed a heavy blow on Dr. Adan^'s chin. The two men clinched and fell to the floor , before others could interfere, where , they struggled and writhed until they were drugged apart. ( Fined Ten Dollars < In .the afternoon Mr. Wilkes was fined $10. The Darlington county man said he had known Mr. Bethea j a number of years ago, when the two j were small boys in school, but that they had not been together since. He said he had champipned the cause j of Mr. Bethea voluntarily. a Barring this incident the day passed off with no nudue excitement. Captain W. T. Thrower, of Che- 1 raw, running for Railroad Commissioner, seemed to inspire some enthusiasm. c Perhaps the most finished address *u.. ? * - -- v.! me uctastion was thai of Mr. John J Madison Des Champs, for Governor. I v lie began his speech with a warm v tribute to Lord Chesterfield, heartily commending his principles of conduct to the State of South Carolina, i deploring the fact that in politics es- v pecially, we seem to have lost the j finer sensibilities of which this man was the most noteworthy exponent. He believes that South Carolina r has the climate and geographical t location to make it the most desirable v spot on the globe. He deplored the r presnt chaotic conditon of our politics and blamed much of our lack of progress to this cause. f, In his eloquent appeal for no north, no south, no east, no west, but one united country he reminded one of the great speech of the immortal ( Henry W. Grady at the close of the r Civil War. Whether Mr. Des Champs j< gets many votes or not, we are sure c he has won many admirers who will f never miss an opportunity to hear ,3 him speak. t, John T. Duncan said he had made f one vote for Governor Manning by p ? -- * - - - ><v i.ik ii abatement made bjT Cole ^ L. Blease on practically every stump \ that George Younginer, of Laurens t\ County, who was killed by a negro, t was a Confederate soldier. R. A. p Cooper, candidate for Govern' r and solicitor of the Sth Judical Circuit, prosecuted the case referred to and 0 the sentence of death was imposed, a On this ocasion Mr. Blease told how s Younginer, a Confederate veteran, "was shot down and his body burned, and how Manning had commuted his n sentence. He then referred the p crowd to R. A. Cooper. "If the facts are not as I have stated, I'll withdraw from the race fi and disgrace myself for life by vot- c ing for Dick Manning for Governor." a Later on when Mr. Cooper was <| speuking, Mr. Duncan interrupted him long enough to ask him if Yonginer was a Confederate veteran, p "lie was not a Confederate veteran," n Mr. Cooper promptly replied. Mr. Duncan thanked Mr. Cooper and re piled mat ne had made at least one t vote for Mr. ManningMr. Blouse told the crowd that the brains that managed the State As- J ylum were applied by a yankee sub- y ordinate and not by the superinten- , dent at all. That Mr. Mailing's par- t don record was about as bad as his 1 and that law and order do not exist j to-day, not even in Chesterfield c county, citing the Pageland riots as proof of his assertions. He predicted that this election would be stolen and calld upon his friends to watch i the polls. Governor Manning made a vigorous speech, defending his adminis- > tration and reminded that the issues 5 were the same as those of two yars agoe. The Chief Executive disclaimed support from the iiquor in- 1 tereats. "They are not supporting < me," Mr. Manning said. 'They know what I have done for them and they have got it in for me. They know I'll nevpr compromise with their crime and that I will continue relentlessly in hunting them down." He made an eloquent plea in behalf of his management of the State Hospital. Mr. Cooper spoke at a disadvantage. The people wer tired after standing in the heat and when Manning and Blease had finished many began to leave.

The Chesterfield ball team covered itself with glory last Thursday when it won two Kames from the fast Wadesboro aggregation. Several hundred Wadesboro and Anson county | people came along to attend the campaign and root for Wadesboro. And | they did cheer for their team, which was a good one. But the home boys had the best of both games because Chesterfield had the better ball team. Mr. Dunlap, of Wadesboro, and Dr. Iteece Funderburk, of Dudley, umpired both games, alternating each inning from base umpire to ball and ctriUoc RnlU ? a?-** ..? uum unijiiica j^ave satisiaction to both teams. The morning game was won by Chesterfield getting onto the slants of Morrow's (Wadesboro's pitcher) curves and the score was 5 to 2 in Chesterfield's favor. Stanley, pitching for Chesterfield, was steady throughout and had Wadesboro at his mercy all the time. The afternoon game developed into a pitcher's duel between Patchell for Chesterfield and Effird.a leaguer, pitching for Wadesboro, with Patchell getting the best of the argument, no less than fifteen Wadesboro men fanning. Chesterfield won this game by the score of 3 to 2, which was the best game played on the local diamond this year. The main feature of the game was the heavy hitting of our own Emsley Armfield. Mr. Armfield was some years ago the crack first baseman of the star Trinity College team in the days when Brudsher, of Trinity, was the best college pitcher in the South. Though out of the game for several years, Mr. Armfield has not lost his batting eye, as proved by his two three-base hits, his two two-baggers three singles. Hardison. for Wades boro, played good b?'" and hit well. The Chesterfield team was composed of Stanley, of Chesterfield, and Patchell, of Cheraw, pitchers; Rivers, of Mt. Croghan, catcher; Van Mungo, of Pageland, first baseman; LeRoy McCall, of Pageland, second baseman; Emsley Armtield, of Chesterfield, shortstop; Captain Henry Douglass, of Chesterfield, third baseman; the old reliable, Jule McGregor, of Ruby, John Lee, of Angelus, Gene l.owery, of Morven; King Moore and P.illie Gulledge, of Chesterfield, alter nating in the outfield. All the boys played well and everyone is congratulating them. Manager Pat Murray and ('apt. llenry Douglass are to be congratulated on assembling such a strong bunch of ball players. The only regret is that "Red" White could not play and "Bunk" Myres could not root. These two gentlemen were detained at their place of business in the Chesterfield Drug store. PROGRAM Annual W. M.
