THE CAMPAIGNERS.
Grey and Thomas Talk Ugly to Each

Grey and Thomas Talk Ugly to Each
Other.
The most interesting incidents ot
the week in the state campaign oc'
Cured at Florence on Thursday
They are reported as follows:
Commissioner Thomas reiterated
that his opponents knew nothing about
the business. He offered his trained
services for the same price that these
greenhorns did for theirs. Laughter
In saying that he had voted against
the interests of the people, General
Gray either said what was absolutely
false, and knew it was false, or he did
not have the sense to comprehend the
matter.
General Gray came forward with a
pale face and fire in his eyes. IL will
say to this man." said he, glaring at
Mr.. Thomas, eff he will accuse me OF
making false accusations outside OF
this courthouse 1 will make him re-
gret it,"
Mr.. Thomas (smiling from his seaD :
II will do it,"
Mr.. Gray: "You dare not do it,"
Mr.. Thomas: eyes, and you will
apologize"
General Gray: "Gentlemen, this man
is beginning to play persecution and 1
shall not assist him. What / have to
say to him will be outside of this meet
ing. So help me God, the man never
lived who can accuse me of falsity.
am a gentleman and l will maintain
it, and that is all l have to say to you,
SIR" [Great applause
General Watts made statement
covering his tender of services to Gov
ernor Ellerbe, saying that he had made
an unconditional offer and that the
governor replied that he would make
him a major, but failed to do so, ex-
planning that he could be of more SER
vice to the state if he remained at
home to assist in organizing the troops.
He asked Governor Ellerbe if this was
correct and the governor replied in the
affirmative.
Colonel Floyd replied to this in a
burst of oratory that brought frequent
applause. He declared that if Watts
had been willing to tear from his COL
lar the stars and bars and enter the
ranks he would have found the chance
without having to apply to the COVER
nor. The militia needed a man at the
head in whom they had confidence
and who would teach them to obey.
Mr.. Blythe made digniied speech
illustrating his military training and
education.

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF WAR.
1t Is Terrible; but All the Same For Gods
Own Purposes.

1t Is Terrible; but All the Same For Gods
Own Purposes.
The following is from good old
Christian lady of Yorkville. She does
not desire her name used; but being
well-known for her deep piety, and
generally practical view of religious
matters, THE ENQUIRER does not hes
itate to give it space
Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipo-
tent reigneth! Rev. xix, g., God is
the Lord of hosts. He 10 the great
commander of heaven and earth. He
it is that directs all conflicts in war.
No field is pitched, no battle fought,
but by his SPECIAL order and commits
sion, and all for the accomplishment
of his own glory. Men who be-
hold the state of the world with the
eyes of flesh and blood, dim by rea-
son of the corruption of their judg-
ment and weakness of their affections,
think all things out of order. "They see
servants riding on horses, and princes
going on foot" n IF they would 60
into Gods sanctuary and judge of
occurrences by heavenly principles,
they would confess that no army on
earth can be better marshaled than
the great army of all creatures of
heaven and earth and hell too; and
that Notwithstanding all appearances
to the contrary, all is we'll and will end
we'll, especially to Gods people; and
the God of order will bring light out of
darkness and order out of confusion,
could they but have patience, and let
him alone with his own work.
"And rebels that fear not his word,
Are under his government still"
-Bogatzky's Golden Treasury.
Many doubt if the war is right.
This may help them to see if it is.
God says send war, pestilence and
famine. We acknowledge that pesti-
lence and famine are from him but
doubt about war. But God has his own
purposes to fulfill by war. Itsends hard
blows to open the doors for free gos.
pei but it has been accomplished in
many countries. India, China, Japan,
etc. But we all should pray that the
right may succeed, and above all that
the lives thus given to his service may
be preserved, and the dying be pre-
pared for death, that he may be a pill
lar of cloud by day and pillar of fire
by night, and enable US soon to "Con-
quer Peace" When Joshua fought,
Moses prayed.

lips, his picture before all eyes, praises
for his men in every conversation. 1t
was all the work of "the newspapers" "
The president, the navy department
and the board of naval strategy had
not a word about the battle except
what "the newspapers" told them.
Monday went by, and Tuesday and
Wednesday and Thursday, and at the
close of the working day there was
still no information except what "the
newspapers" gave. Congress was de-
lighted, and the plans of the war ad-
vanced, as the victory warranted.
Yet the United States government
would not have known there had been
battle but for "the newspapers.
Who is it, pray, that does not believe
a word he reads in the newspapers p

Rock Hill Buggy Company,
Rock Hill, S. c.:
GENTS My mare ran away with the
empty buggy, ran into another buggy
and smashed its wheels, turned my bug
gy clear over and it lit right side up on
its wheels. Not seam started, not 9
bolt broken, not clip out of place, and
the only damage was a bent dash and
the back jammed to one side and few
cracked spokes, say one or two in each
wheel. The dash and back were straight
ened in ten minutes and have used the
buggy daily since without any repair on
wheels. Am using it today. Very truly,

"THE NEWSPAPERS PART.-Nobody
believes a word that he reads in the
newspapers"
This is a remark which was made
by prominent Bostonian at a public
dinner few weeks ago. 1t is hardly
worth noticing, it so utterly lacks sense
and discrimination, but a striking
event has happened since it was spok-
en- which should check similar foolish
ish remarks from leaving the lips OF
those who attribute dishonest journal
ism to "the newspapers" without ex-
cepting the honest papers.
Commodore Dewey won brilliant
victory on the other side of the world
on Sunday morning, and on Monday
every home in America was told about
it. His name was upon everybody's

NoTICE.-A sign which was produc'
tive of much discussion, was read by the
patrons of a small laundry establish
ment in Massachusetts, town.
1t was printed in large letters on
piece of brown paper, and pinned to
the door of the shop. 1t ran thus:
"Closed on account of sickness till
next Monday, or possibly Wednesday
am not expected to live. Shall be
unable to deliver goods for at least 9
week, in any case"

We have Just received a letter
from the MONARCH CYCLE
COMPANY in which we are in
formed that they have on hand
a VERY LIMITED NUMBER
of 1897 500 and $500 wheels
which they expect to close out
by JULY 10, and have offered
to sell them to us subject to sup
ply on hand at a price which
puts us in a position to offer those
who want MONARCH wheels
and who does not-the greatest
opportunity in the history of the
wheel business. 1t is useless to
go into details as to the superior
ity of the MONARCH OVER
ALL OTHERS because every
body knows that.
The wheels will be fitted with
1903 tires and saddles and the
500 Wheel Will Go
For $41.75
And the
$75 Wheel at $3.50.
If you want a wheel under this
offer prompt action is necessary.
Don't wait until July 18th and
expect to get it. Now is your
chance to get the kind that keeps
in front and out of the repair
shop. GRIST COUSINS,
