DISCUSSED THE CHINESE CRISIS.
Issue of Newspaper ut Pretoria Has
a Good Effect.

PRETORIA, June 27-(9:15 p. m.).-The
issue of newspaper yesterday afternoon,
the first since June IL, had a good effect
in giving the people chance TO discuss
the outside world. 1t also had the effect
of abating the feeling among groups OF
hundreds OF disarmed burghers in the
streets and squares, whose sole topic of
conversation heretofore has been the stu
alton in the Transvaal.
The state OF affairs has thereby changed
materially. The suggestion that Johan-
nesburg should become the capital OF the
TTansvaal is condemned by everyone ex-
cept those interested in the Rand mines.
The best English and American feeling
is that Pretoria is the only suitable capital.

Industries Being Taught mt the IL

At the workshops for the blind, at 915 E

industries of which they are found capable
in order that they may become self-sus-

Broom making, chair Gaming, and mat
tress- making are labors which they readily
learn. To these trades many OF the blind
inmates of the institution have devoted
their energies. and a large stock OF ex-
cellent brcoms OF all grades has been
manufactured. Some trouble in disposing
of this product is experienced because few
housekeepers are aware that brooms can
be bought at the home.
By application at the home persons who
need brooms will be supplied at a reason

well bestowed and kindly appreciated.

Newberry, Aug The State
campaign meeting here today was
tended by about 700 people, one
third of the county's voting
strength. Everything passed off
quietly and orderly. The speech>
es were generally the same as the
candidates made elsewhere IN the
campaign.
The most interest centered in
the governor race. Walt Whit
man made one of his characteris-
tic speeches and the crowd laugh
cd at his thrusts at the other can,
didates. He said his money had
now given out, and that unless he
employed personal locomotion in
getting to other meetings, this one
would be his last. Frank b Gary
made good, sensible speech and
explained his views on the liquor
question. He received great at :
tention. A III Patterson made his
old speech and charges against
Gov McSweeney and attacked Col
toyt and prohibition and SAID he
would enforce the dispensary to
the letter. Gov McSweeney' $
speech was creditable to his posi-
tion and his views also the defense
of his administration, which he
declared was now on business
principles. Col Hoyt made a
good speech, with no attack on
anybody's record. He said that
Cole l. Blease made the most
logical dispensary speech of the
six candidates, includiug Senator
Tillman, who were advocates of
the dispensary in this campaign.
Col Hoyt advised his friends not
to scratch Senator Tillman's name
on the primary election ballots.

Col Hoyt-"Now hurrah for
Hoyt."

Col Hoyt received more APP
plause than any of the guberna
t. rial candidates.
The interest of the voters was
divided among Hoyt, Gary and

women. They fought with des>
peration and determination until
Jim Tillman aud others separated

showed the same spirit there
would be many more fsticuffs

HOW IT STARTED.
From day to day Mr. Patterson

by reading extracts was to place
him in false position as to what
he had said and his announced at

persistently as Mr. Patterson
would make his statements lust SO
persistently wolld Mr. Gary insist
that his position in Charleston, as
elsewhere, was plain and un-
equivOcal and not intended to be

not "straddle," and that his posi-

PATTERSON WANTED TO EXPLAIN.
Mr. Patterson was sitting about
five feet behind where Mr. Gary
was speaking and got up and said
"Mr Gary, want to explain
something"
"Mr Gary turned squarely
around and said: "Now, Mr
Patterson, | want to ask YOU
plainly-is what | have said about
that Charleston matter true .''
Mr. Patterson said he would ex-
plain. Mr. Gary replied there
was no use to explain, but insist,
ed on knowing whether what he
had just said about the whole
matter was true or not.
DARED GARY TO PROVE STATEMENT.
Mr. Patterson went on to say
the candidates would not agree
with Mr. Gary, or something op
that line. Mr. Patterson said he
