AT FEVER HEAT.
Reformers of South Carolina Up to
Their Eyes in Business.

Columbia, S c.. Aug 15.-Nearly all Of
the delegates to the reform state conyen-
ton, which meets here tomorrow, are in
the city, and work for the various candi-
dates is at fever heat. No candidate for
governor stands any chance before the
convention except John Gary Evans. He
will have a complete walk over, and while
there have been furtive suggestions Of
dark horse, there is no probability Of his
Undertaking.. DR.. Zimmerman will have
no opposition for the second place, and
the only other question at all moOted is
the nomination Of the full state ticket.
Nearly all. II not all, of the candidates
have signed a petition asking that a full
state ticket be nominated, and there is a
COnsidera bic sentiment among the dele
gates in favor of so doing; the tendency
is TO draw the lines closely and to fill the
ticket with candidates who have identi-
fed themselves with John Gary Evans
for governor.
Following this purpose, and because of
the fact that Spartanburg has had no
place on the state ticket for several years,
Len Hill of that county is leading for sec
rotary Of state. D. H. Tompkins is a
very strong and close second. J. r. Har-
rlsOn of Greenvllle is not in il at all. o.
W. Buchanan has no opposition for the
attorney generalship. and A. w. Jones is
way ahead for the controllers place. }.
f. Norton, who was an Ellerbe man, is
not heard of
The most interesting race is that for
the position of superintendent of educa-
ton. w. d. Mayfield, the present in
cumbent has made a good record and has
considerable strength, and under ordi-
nary circumstances would win. But the
argument is being used that unless
Thomas w. Keitt is given this place
there will be an Independent ticket for
all the state officers put in the field which
would give them trouble 10 defeat. Eli
son NJ. Keltt, the father of Thomas w.
Keitt, is the leader of the populists
in the state, and Joseph L., another
son, is one of the most influential
men among the aldermen, and
unless Thomas Keitt is made superin-
tendent of education, the two factions
represented by his father and brother
uniting with the conservatives of the
state would make most formidable OPP
position to the ticket put out by the re-
formers. G. Walt Whitman, the other
candidate for this position, has in himself
about his only supporter. John Gary
Watts will have a walk over for the posi-
ton of adjutant and inspector general.
Gen. RichbOurg will hardly carry his own
county.
The race for the three railroad commits
sionerships is an intricate one, and none
of the five candidates seem to have a
cinch. The probabilities are in favor of
w. H. Thomas, J. c. Wilborn and w H.
Gelldell, though many say that both Gen.
Gray and Rev. Sigh will find a place to
the exclusion of two of the first named.

DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF.
Charges and Counter Charges in the
Atlanta Police Department.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 15.-The city detec-
tive department in this city is in a state
of excitement, and the feeling of unrest
has extended to the police force. The
cause of this excitement is a series of
charges that have been made by men,
bers of both branches of the city's peace
guardians.
AS matter of fact, it is a case of a
house divided against itself. Several
weeks ago Patrolmau A. J. Lyle charged
Detectives Looney and Cason with visit
ing the home of a well-knOwn man-about-
town during his absence. He even
went further, and said they drank
intoxicating liquors while at the place
named. Chief Of Police Connolly investi-
gated the case and said he found nothing
to substantiate the charges made. Later
a reporter for local paper visited num-
Der of people living in the ueighborhood
where the patrolman said the detectives
had been. Nothing was published, and
then the two detectives came to the front
with charges against Lyle.
They claim that his witnesses failed to
sustain him and that he then tried to in
timidate them, and even went so far as
to tell some of them that they
must help him out of the
affair. The detectives then charged
him with conduct unbecoming an officer
claiming that he was prompted by malice
in making his charges. Now, Lyle says
he can prove his assertions, and renews
his charges as first made. A special
meeting Of the board of police commits
sioners has been called for Friday after
noon, when both sides of the case will be
heard.
