There is an ominousSlull in
State politics just now. Not a
whisper is aAoat as to the intentions
of.the leaders in regard to the plan
of campaign for next year. Itseems
that the old factional lines are fast
being wiped out and much Of the bit
terness that marked politics in re-
cent years is being relegated to the
rear and "peace and unity" has atlast
been realized. A Conservative Pri-
vate Secretary to Reform Governor,
a Conservative Lieutenant Governor
and Conservative State Superinten-
dent of Education are some of the
fruits Of this changed condition of
public sentiment, but whether this
state of affairs will continue, or
whether factional lines will again be
tightly drawn remains to be seen.
We know not whether the present
calm is but the forerunner of the
coming storm Or that the clouds have
rolled by and permanent peace and
prosperity are returning. Let US
take it as the harbinger of better
times.

The Kentucky State Democratic
Nominating Convention, which is
now in session at Louisville, is dead
locked. There are three candidates
for Governor neither of whom can be
nominated without one of the other
two Withdrawing. This not one of
the three is willing to do, pre-
ferring rather to go down in defeat
than either of the others should re-
ceiye the nomination, and hence there
is no probability that the deadlock
will be broken soon. If the Ken
tucky Democrats would adopt the
primary, plan of making nominations
they would find it more satisfactory
and there would be no such thing as
deadlocks. The nominations would
be taken from the control sf few
moss back politicians, who generally
pull the wires for their own prefer
ment, and placed in the hands of the
people, where they rightly belong,
and where every one can have an
open field and fair race.
Goebel has since been nominated
by vote of $50 to 53l.

The Killing at 8atesbarg.
Coroner's JurJ Finds Verdict
son Had Escaped from Chaingapg.

Coroner's JrrJ Finds Verdict-John-
son Had Escaped from Chaingang.
The following account Of the kill
ing of ". Fl johnson at BAtesburg
on Tuesday evening, Jure 20, by
Clyde Whittle, Deputy Sheriff of
Saluda county and Will Berry, Mar
shal Of the tow nof Saluda, is taken
from the Columbia State:
"Batesburg, June 81 The Core
ner's inquest over the remains Of W.
H. johnson, who was killed there yes
terday afternoon, was held here this
morning. 1t seems that some time
ago Johnson became involved in
some difficulty in Georgia and was
sentenced to tie chaingang. While
serving out his sentence, he managed
in some way to escape and return to
his home at this place. Since that
time he has been working at tur-
pentine distillery at this place. A
warrant for his arrest was placed in
hands of the Sheriff Of SAluda
county. Yesterday afternoon the
Deputy Sheriff Of Saluda, Clyde
Whittle, accompanied by the Town
Marshal of Saluda, Will Berry, at
tempted to make the arrest.
The sff.ir occurred at the distiilery
on the outskirts of town, and there
was only one eye witness to it.
At the inquest this morning all the
testimony went to prove that John
son resisted arrest and was shot by
the above mentioned officers. The
verdict Of the jury was, "That W.
H. johnson, while resisting arrest,
came to his death at the hands Of
Clyde Whittle and Will Berry"
The affair is very much regretted
by the entire town. This is the first
time in the history of the town that
a white man has been killed in the
incorporate limits.
Messrs. Wbittle and Berry came
down last Friday and surrendered to
Sheriff Caughman. On their persons
were cuts and bruises indicating that
they had rough experience in try
ing to arrest johnson.
Saturday Mr. Cole L. Blease, who
has been retained by the defence,
came over and had a consultation
with his clients in reference to bail
As result, Mr.. Blease appeared be.
fore Judge Buchanan an applied for
bail which the Judge granted in the
sum of $4,000 each. They gave bond
\ yesterday and were released from
Jail.

Likes the American Company's
Press.

An Arkansas Firm Used it Last Sea
son With Great Satisfaction.
The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn.
A. J. Clements, of the firm of
Clements & Daniel, cotton ginners
of Lonoke, Ark, was in the city yes
terday. Mr.. Clements was seen by
a Commercial Appeal representative
in the cfice Of the American C,tton
Company, in the Continental builc-
ing, and be talked very enthusias
tically Of that company's Roundlap
bale press, which he has been operat-
ing at his gin the past season. He
compressed about 4,0CO bales on his
R undlsp bale press, and the cotton
was sold at the press at Memphis
prices. Mr.. Clements says that
Roundlap bale from the American
Company's press will net from 50 so
to $500 more than from the old
press. In fact, a farmer a few
months ago, made test of the mat
ter, bringing the exact number of
pounds of the same quality to Mr..
Clements that he did to a square
bale press, without letting either gin
know he was making the test, ard
the Roundlap bale netted just So IS
more than the square bale.
Mr.. Clements says that one season
has satisfied bin of the merits of
the American C.mpany's Roundlap
bale press. I: is good thing be
says, both for the ginner and the
farmer, and bis firm will continue it's
use and abandon its other press er-
tirely.

A negro editor in Tampa, Fla, ard
Officer Woodward, whom he had Sc
verely criticized for arresting negro
woman who had refused 70 be vacci-
mated, met in a negro restaurant by
agreement to fight it out. At the
appearance of the officer the negro
pulled his pepper box, took aim ct
the officer, pulled the trigger and
fired, but in some way the ball en-
tered the negro's abdomen and lodged
in his spinal column, from the effects
of which he shortly afterwards died.
The affair came near precipitating a
race riot similar to that witnessed in
Wilmington, n. c., last year, but for
tunately, for the lack of a leader, the
negroes weakened and quietly dis
persed.

Revolving Crime in Lexington CO.
Warrants Issued for James Attaway
and Edward McCloud.

Charged With Criminal Assault
Drove Husbands of Women From
House and Ra7ished Their Wives
One Woman Was Dangerously
Wounded.
Special to The State.
Batesburg, June 26.-James Alta
way, white, was arrested here this
afternoon by Sheriff Caughman Of
Lexington on the charge of rape
The Sheriff is looking for Ed. Nc
Cloud on the same charge.
The affidavit in the warrant is
made by L. H. Leitch and David
Meetze, charging the assault on the
persons Of their wives, Mary Ann
Leitch and Laura Ellen Meetze.
It seems that the women have not
borne the best of regulations and
that the defendants have been in the
habit of visiting them as loverc
Recently the women were married to
the above named men and it is pre-
sumed that the husbands objected
to the continuance OF their past lives.
On May Is the parties visited the
house where the parties were living,
but the husbands objected to their
presence. Attaway ard McCltu !
are said to be pretty bad men, and
it is said that at the point of the
pistol they made the husbands leave
the house. In some way Attaway's
pistol was discharged and the ball
took effect in the groin of one the
women. DR.. Crosson of Leesville,
probed for the ball but was unable
to find it, as it had lodged in the
pelvic cavity. The woman is not yet
out of danger. She claims that At
tawsy deliberately shot her, but he
claims that the shooting was acci
dental.
The prisoner had pistol and a
pair of knucks on his person when
arrested today, so be will have to
answer to the charge of carrying
concealed weapons.
The scene of the alleged crime is
in the northern part Of Lexington
county, near the Saluda river.
