- Columbia special Of August 5, to
the Spartanburg Herald: There was
considerable excitement at the cam
paign meeting Of state officers at New
berry today. NewbeTy is the home OF
State Senator Cole L. Blease, and II
was expected that something out of
the ordinary would occur when he
arose today to face the statement Of
his home ministers that they would not
endorse his candidacy. But the candi-
dates for railroad commissioner spoke
first and Mr.. Caughman and Mr.. Fish
burne started tie fireworks. In deny
ing a statement by Fishburne, Caugh-
man said You are a liar and you
know It, and the truth Is not In you."
The two men advanced toward each
other, but were separated before any
harm was done. Both afterwards
apologized. When Blease arose to
speak Ue IIlduc d CIlLlClSul VI IIlC "CCh-
ly Press, declaring that Editor W. II.
Wallace, Of the NewberTy Observer,
who was on the stand, did not have
manhood enough to defend his minis
ter from attacks occasioned by Blease's
candidacy. At this time, Wallace
arose from the press table, and walked
toward Blease presumably to ask him
question, but the response was lost
In the noise which followed. Wallace
took his seat, and Blease resumed his
speaking. Referring to Rev. g. A.
fused to endorse him, Blease said that
Mr. Wright had stabbed him in the
back "as Judas betrayed Christ"

- Columbia special Of August 4, to
Anderson Daily Mail: The members
of the First regiment, who got to their
respective homes throughout the Pied
mont counties Sunday morning, after
pleasant and profitable ten days en-
campment at Chickamauga, had dis
agreeable wrangle with the passenger
officials Of the Southern over bringing
the fifty-one cooks and walters back
home, which resulted in the trains be-
| ing held up In the Chattanooga yards
| from 10 q. m. to p. m. Saturday until
| the officers and men Of the regiment
| "forked over about $500 in cash to
pay for the negroes transportation
| back home. According to the officers
there was a verbal understanding on
| the side when the Southern was given
the fat contract to carry the regiment
at an outlay Of over $4,000 for the trip,
that the cooks and walters would be
Transported free, as usual, and the ne
groes were landed In camp without
charge, and the officers and men or the
regiment generally are much wrought
up against the railroad officials for the
| treatment they received In the Chatta-
nooga yards. The railroad people took
| the position that the new rate law Tor
bade carrying these men free and re-
fused to move the train unless the
cash was forthcoming. Finally the
cash was fished out, most Of 1t COM
| ing from staff officers, and the train
proceeded. The charge for the trip was
| from 80 to $3.50 for each negro. In
the general scramble few Of the ne
groes got left in Chattanooga. The
| trouble began by the. Central OF Geor-
gia agent at Lytle, Ga. near the camp
and some ten miles from the Soutn-
ern's connection at Chattanooga, de-
mandine % cents each for the ne
groes for their trip from Lytle to Chat-
| tanooga. This was paid and when the
train was made up another demand
was made for % cents more each, the
agent claiming that the other was for
the trip to camp. This was also pald.
Then the Southern officials got busy on
arrival of the trains at Chattanooga. In
a measure the officials OF the regiment
| "eot even" by demanding separate
| coach for the negroes and additional
coaches for the men, but they do not
consider that they have yet paid on
the entire score and swear they VIII
get even in other ways.

ty Chairman P. H. Nelson introduced
as the first speaker Col. Henry L.
| THOMPSON, candidate for adjutant and

viewed his thirty years Of service IN
the militia and said that he now asked
promotion Of one more grade. he

nettsville company, that Gen. Boyd
himself recommended this dissolution
of the company, but in the face OF the
