here from Edgefeld county to take
charge of the mechanical work Of the
paper. When Mr.. Parks moved to Co.
lumbia about two years ago Mr.. CO.
var became interested in the business,
which was run in the ma me of Parks
g. Covar. Several cc--onths ago 1m-.
Parks sold his interest in The Patriot
and the printing outfit to Mr.. ]. H.
Funderburg and Mr.. Covar, and the
newspaper has since been published
by Funderburg & Covar as publishers
and proprietors.
1t is stated that since this transfer
there has not been pleasant feelings
between Mr.. Parks and Mr.. Covar. It
is reported that Mr.. Parks held a
mortgage over the newspaper plant
and that he was preparing to foreclose
and it is thought that he came down
from Columbia this morning for the
purpose of making some arrange
ments. Both parties were together in
conversation for some time this
morning and they separated. 1t was
only short time when they came to-
gether again, and the shooting took
place as above stated. 1t is reported
that a gentleman telephoned to Mr..
Parks at Columbia yesterday and ad-
vised him not to come to Orangeburg
today, asking him to have his business
transacted either through other par
ties or by correspondence, stating to
Mr.. Parks that Mr.. Covar had threat
ened to kill him if he foreclosed his
mortgage. 1t is also runored that
Mr.. Covar had been informed that Mr..
Parks intended to kill him on account
of some reports that he had heard.
The fact is that both parties were well
armed and prepared for shooting
without delay. The father OF Mr.. Covar
an old gentleman, who resides here'
with his son was armed. He did not
attempt to shoot and returned his pis-
tol to his pocket when the pistol was
taken away from his son, so your
correspondent hears from an eye wit
ness. After the fusilade when Mn.
covar was walking forward after Mr..
Parks, as stated above. the old gentle
man called to his son to stop.-The
State.

say against his opponents.
Take a Breathing Spell.

There will be a rest in the campaign
from now till July 9, when the meet
ing will be held in Columbia. The
weeks rest Of the campaigners gave
them notions. They have unanimous
ly asked the executive committee to
give the campaigners another weeks
rest They want week after the
Lancaster meeting, July %, and then
want to resume the campaign at
Winnsboro, August 6, and go to Chest
er, August Z, and then keep right on
from that point, only making each
date a week later than 1t is now ar
arranged. This will end the campaign
August %, instead Of August Is, as
now arranged. The campaigners
think this will be more satisfactory
all round. and Chairman Jones, who
was at the meeting today, thoorht
the committee would agree to 1t.
The expression today seemed to be
that Senator Tillman's recent letter
had been a solar plexus for State cam
paigRs in future years.

PICKS ANsEL TO WIN
With Blease as His Opponent in Sec
ond Prin,ary-The Hope OF Lau-
rens Paper.

The Laurens Advertiser, in guessing
mood, says:
When the primaries are over it may
be interesting to talk about the fol-
lowing predictions, based on study
OF the facts:
Mr.. Lumpkin will receive about 2o,-
O000 votes against Senator Tillman.
This leaves $4,000 for Tillman.
Mr.. Martin F. Ansel will lead in the
first primary by at least 10000 votes
over his nearest opponent and be-
elected overwhelmingly in the second
primary. Four years ago he carried
his old judicial circuit almost to man
and it gave him about $4,000 votes to
start with He got mighty few else
where Eeyward and Talbert were
known generally and he was not, Bar
ring accidents, he is as good as elect
ed. People who want band wagon
seats take due notice.
At present Mr.. Cole l.. Blease is
leading for second place. If Senator
Tillman joins in the campaign he wils
quietly undertake to put a stop to this
and throw his influence to Mr.. r. I.
Manning-not that he likes Manning
so much, but because he thinks Man
ming would prove a stronger man in
the final heat. Meanwhile, if Mr..
Blease continues to develop Strength
Senator Tillman will be scared of
from interfering.
Mr.. A. W. Jones will be elected
Comptroller General and ought to be.
The closest contest of all is be-
tween Col. Lewis W. Haskell and Col.
J. C. Boyd for adjutant and inspector
general. We can't predict the result
The race for railroad Commissioners

enough to take for granted that they
will elect him overwhelmingly He de-
| serves elec:!oa more thaa any man
that has run for Office in the State in

Judgment of The Advertiser may pos
sibly be biased by. its wisaes-we do

Jumped right on the State dispensary.
He said he did not think this popu-

ridiculed the chemically pure" ad-
vertisement Of whiskeys; insisted that

predicted that as soon as county dis
pensaries came those who SO strongly
advocate the dispensary will largely
change because Of the loss Of political
influence. He would Kill the State dis
pensary because he believed it COR

wanted chance to prosecute the vio-
