The Forest Hill people will give their
usual picnic on the occasion OF the
county campaign meeting.
The canvas of the county by the
candidates for county officers begins at
Tirzah tomorrow. There will be pic
mic.
The general impression is that Mr..
Ansel will get the anti -dispensary vote
Of this county, and that the dispensary
vote will be divided between Manning
and Blease. Blease appears to have
gained strength with the dispensary
element since his recent visit.
Mr.. John J. McMahan made a bad
break when he described that attitude
Of the ministers Of the state on the
whisky question as pusillanimous. A
great many ministers may be like Mr.
McMahan, rather Impractical on this
question: but it is rare thing you
run across a preacher prohibitionist
who lacks the courage Of his convic-
tions. Some Of Mr.. McMahan's criti-
cisms may have been very well found
ed; but very few Of the preachers are
towards,

WITH THE FIRST REGIMENT.

The First South Carolina regiment
which went to Chickamauga in two
sections, one Of them leaving here In
a train Of ten cars last Friday after
noon, made a record breaking trip, and
arrived at their destination at about 10
o'clock last Friday morning.
The entire regiment got through In
good shape, the only disabled man
among them being Capt. Delhi of Rock
Hill. He fell against car seat In
some manner just before he reached
Chattanooga and was painfully though
not seriously injured. He was all
right yesterday.
Immediately after its arrival at the
camp that had just been vacated by
the Second regiment, the First regi-
ment was put to work cleaning things
up and getting in shape for the weeks
work. Referring to the situation as 1t
appeared to him on arrival, the regi-
mental correspondent Of the News and
Courier wrote as follows:
While frequent rains have made the
camp grounds wet and muddy the site
Is ideal and beautiful. Lookout Noun
tain Is only a few miles distant. The
South Carolina monument, splendid
granite pile on Snodgrass Hill, can De
seen from the parade grounds. The
regimental flag, a handsome state nag
painted in colors on blue silk with the
regimental insignia, Is flying from Col.
Lewis's headquarters. While the men
are national guardsmen and love the
Stars and Stripes that are floating over
the brigade headquarters, the men OF
the First feel g. far deeper interest IN
the piece Of blue silk emblazoned WIN
the seal of the Palmetto State. II
means home to them and marks the
spot when Kershaw and his South
Carolinians did battle forty years ago.
Capt. ]. R. Hart Of company L, was
the first officer to go on duty as officer
of the day and since then the service
has been performed in rotation.
A correspondent speaks Of a pleas
ant distinction that was won by Mr..
Robt Herndon of Yorkville. Observing
the men on parade, an officer OF the
regular army said that Sergeant Hern-
don was the only man in his sight VINO
held his gun just as 1t should be held.
The officer did not know Mr.. Herndon
and, of course, had no idea that ne
was from the Citadel.
In accordance with an arrangement
perfected before leaving, Lieutenant
w. 3. Williams left yesterday for home
to be at the opening Of the campaign
tomorrow. Lieutenant G. w. Bailey or
Columbia, will act as his substitute
first lieutenant of company L.
The hard work commenced yesterday
when the regiment was required to go
through an extended order drill In iml-
tation Of an example set for 1t by the
Seventeenth regular infantry.
The troops are all in good spirits and
they are counting on making a rec
ord for soldiership unexcelled by any
other regiment that has been or will
he on the grounds.

POLITICS IN GEORGIA.
eovernorship Fight Brings Out Bitter
Personalities.

Dorsey, Brewster e. Howell Of At
lanta, Ca, attorneys for the Southern
railway, acting for s. D. Demsey, have
brought suit against Hoke Smith,
former secretary Of the interior, and
candidate for governor, to recover
$1,000, out Of which 1t is alleged thar
Hoke Smith defrauded Demsey In
settling a case which the latter had
with the railroad.
Albert Howell Of Dorsey. Brewster
& Howell, had charged Hoke Smith
in a card with defrauding Dempsey.
Hoke Smith retorted that If Albert
Howell swore to the charge he
(Smith) would put Howell in the PEN
itentiary for perjury.
HowelPs answer is the suit.
In connection with the suit Albert
Howell, who is a brother Of Clark
Howell, editor Of the Constitution,
and also q candidate for governor,
publishes a card which contains vile
charge against Hoke Smith. Howell
says Of Smith in the card:
1.-The first time / ever heard Of him
his name was reeking with the slime
OF so foul Scandal that 10n0 mOLnerS
stopped their daughters ears when
his name was uttered, and idle school
boys, vying with one another In vul-
garity, wrote that name on back
fences and outbuildings.
From that to this his name has been
the synonym Of selfishness, duplicity,
hypocrisy and cowardice. Today he
stands branded in the columns Of the
public press and in private letters by
eminent citizens of Georgia, who have
exhausted the range Of English ad-
jectives from razorback to hypocrite
and from character assassin to COM
mon liar In their efforts to correctly
characterize this staggering swash-
buckler with whom no mans reputa-
ton Is considered sacred.
mo pen can paint the pitiful pic
ture of this captious charlatan, who
has never in his life been consistent,
save in the discord he has sown and
the ruin he has wrought.
IF these sworn statements are true,
as the affidavit of Mr.. Dempsey seem
to assure, then the apparition OF
shackles and stripes conjured up by
the scared conscience of Mr.. Smith
is easily TO be accounted for, and
there Is substance in the phantom
formed from his frantic fancy"
The first paragraph of Mr.. HowelPs
card Is said to refer to an alleged ep-
isode in Hoke Smiths early life. SO
far Hoke Smith has made no answer
to HowelPs card.

Such things occur sometimes; but as

ment in 1879 down to the year 1900
the constant increase in the stock OF
subsidiary coin required by the grow
ing population and trade of the coun-.
try was supplied by the recoinage OF
old and uncurrent subsidiary coins
which accumulated in the treasury
under the resumption act. In 1900
as this stock was running low, au-
thority was granted in the monetary
act of March IA to the secretary OF
the treasury to divert bullion pur-
chased under the act of July IA, 1890,
for the coinage of silver dollars to
the coinage of subsidiary pieces. I'm
der this authority about $4,000. 900
have been coined since 1900. The
stock of bullion in the treasury was
exhausted more than year ago and
since then no bullion has been avail
able for subsidiary use.

TUESDAY, AUGUST IA, 1906.

THE rebate question Is up again
with renewed interest. 1t won't down.
Some weeks ago, 1t will be remember
ed, Senator Tillman said some pretty
hard things about the Spartanburg
delegation for appointing a corrupt
board of control. Mr.. c. P. Sanders
who was a member of the accused
delegation, replied to Senator Tillman
in kind and among other things denied
responsibility for the board, showing
that it had been appointed before he
came into office. The controversy
drifted. of course, to personalities, ana
Mr.. Sanders, brought up the old re-
bate question again. He refused to be
satisfied with Senator Tillman's alles-
ed explanation. Senator Tillman went
back into the history Of the matter,
stated that Senator Butler had raised
the question at Union in 1894, and that
upon trial Of the issue before the
people of the state the senator had
been vindicated. The Columbia State
then came into the controversy, looked
UP the old record and found that when
Butler asked Tillman 'If you did get
rebates amounting to some $4,000,
what did you do with them, and If you
did not get them, why didn't you?"
Tillman replied that he had bought the
Mill Creek whisky fiat and that there
were no rebates. Then, when Applet
raised the question again some years
afterward and when Tillman testified
before the investigating committee this
year, he admitted that there had been
rebates. but claimed that he had given
them back to Hubbell Of the Mill Creek
distilling company in consideration OF
the credit that the company had ex-
tended to the state. Hubbell was still
alive in 1894 and in 1906 he was dead.
The Columbia State sees in the two
explanations a great deal that is not
satisfactory and there are others who
would like to have a somewhat better
showing.

CLouDBURsT AT MERIDIAN, MISS
The loss Of two lives has already
been reported as the result OF
storm which precipitated nearly four
inches of rain within an hour at
Meridian, Miss, yesterday afternoon,
and did thousands of dollars damage
to property. William Barton, six
year-old boy was struck by lightning
and killed, and a negro was caught
and drowned in the rise Of small
creek near the city. In outlying por-
tions of Meridian, scores of women
and children were driven from their
homes and in parts Of the business
section water rose to depth of more
than a foot on the floors Of stores.
The storm was apparently confined to
the immediate neighborhood OF
Meridian. Although streams about
the city are over their banks, no
washouts on railroad property have
been reported.

in the Colorado river, which started
from the torrential rains in the San
Angelo county a week ago. Is now
reaching the lower valleys and the
farmers are making endeavors to
save their crops. Despite every eff
fort the loss will be heavy, as there
are many farms i'm the bottom from
Austin to the rivers mouth. Addi-

certain that the flood period will last
at least two weeks and that the river
will leave it's banks at many points.
