Z. u. Henderson Calls Down Barney
Evans, Whereupon Latter Utters
Strong Language-Referenc to ID:
S. Henderson, of Aiken.

WATERFORD, July ia mild sem
sation in the meeting Of the State
campaign, at Walterboro today. was
the spat between Barney B. Evans
and Mr.. c. G. Henderson. Master of
Colleton County, when thef former
made reference to the Hon. D. S.
Hender MS connection with the Pink
Franklin case, recently heard In
ans charged incompetency on the
Washington, and in which Mr.. Ey-
part of Attorney General Lyon to
compete with a negro lawyer, Of Or
angeburg. Mr.. c. G. Henderson is a
brother Of D. s. Henderson, of Aiken,
and he endeavored to set Mr.. Evans
right on the matter Of the State be-
ing put to expense by reason of d.
.Henderson's assistance to the at
torney general.
When Mr.. Evans stated that Mr..
Lyon was unable to cope with a mig
gar lawyer" on little constitutional
question and had to hire Dan Hend-
erson to assist him, Mr.. Henderson
arose and said: Didn't nv brother
settle that matter at Aiken the other
day? The State did not pay him one
cent to assist in this case. He was
paid by the congressman from this
State.
Answering with considerable en-
phasis, Mr.. Evans said: well, Jim
Patterson told me at Barnwell that
he didn't pay him; so then who did ?"
to which Mr.. Henderson did not re-
ply.
Looking straight at Mr.. Henderson,
the speaker forcefully and unequivo-
cally denounced d. s. Henderson for
his unfairness in making a speech at
the Aiken meeting, in connection with
this affair, and not giving him an op-
portunity to reply. 1t seems that d.
S. Henderson acted as county chair,
man at the Aiken meeting and when
Mr.. Evans made reference to the
Franklin case stated his position and
connection in the case, especially as
regards the fes paid This act ont he
part Of a chairman, Mr.. Evans de-
nounced as cowardly in the extreme.
Another matter Of some little in
terest was the statement by Mr.. Ev-
ans that he intended to make the
newspapers publish his statements or
make them go down as defamers."
However, Mr.. Evans had consider
ably less to say today about the news
papers than at Beaufort yesterday
His address, devoted almost entirely
to an exposure" of Mr.. Lyons rec
ord, was received with loud applause

RAILWAY STRIKE IMPENDING.
PENNSYLVANIA OFFICIALS AND
MEN TO CONFER.
Both Sides Appear Hopeful That Con-
ference Will Avert Strike, But
Maintains That Respective Atti-
tudes Will Remain Unchanged
Railroad Continues Preparations to
Cope With Situation Should Strike
Be Ordered.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 17.-Iope
that the conference tomorrow be-
tween the members of their commit
Zee and General Manager Meyers. of
the Pennsylvania Railroad COMPANY.
would result in a clearer understand
Ing of their demands by the railroad
officers and that the necessity for a
strike would be averted, was express-
ed today by A. B. Garrettson, presi-
dent of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, and w. G. Lee, the head of
the Brotherhood Of Railroad Train
men. Mr.. Lee declared his belief
that the hour standard that the men
asked for could be put in effect by
by the company without making any
financial sacrifice.
Many Of the delegates from the va
rious unions left the city last night
and conferred with the membership
of their organizations today, but all
will be present at the confer ence to-
morrow in the office Of the general
manager, which is called for 12
o'clock
While there Is a feeling that peace
may be arranged at this conference,
both sides declare that they will not
recede from the position they have
already taken. The labor leaders
will continue to hold out for the ten
hour day and the railroad officers,
while willing to grant this, are un-
willing to INCREASE the expenses Of
their road. The question Of over
time may be the subject of a COM
promise proposition, it is said.
Since the last conference of the
leaders OF the men on the lines East
with General Manager Meyes the men
on the lines West have reached bet
ter understanding with General Man
ager Peck, in Pittsburg. where an
other conference is to be held tomor-
row at about the same time the meet
ing here is in progress. The good
feeling in the West may have its in.
f1uence on the meeting here.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officers
had no statement to give out today.
They appear hopeful tnat tomorrow $
conference may end in an under
standing that will avert the threaten
ed strike, but nevertheless they are
continuing their preparations to cope
with the emergency Of a walk-out.
Elaborate plans for the housing of
men to take the place of the strik-
ers are being put into effect and 9TH
er employees of the company are be-
Ing prepared to take the place of
those who would heed the call in the
event Of the strike order issuing. The
problem of police protection along
the lines Of the company is already
being carefully worked out.

been more selling of cotton goods
during the last week. but at a sacri-
flee of values. The trading has been
controlled by a spirit of conserva-
ton emanating from financial circles
in the trade and doubtless reflected
from outside. The curtailment of
production has grown steadily and
will continue until the demand for
goods forces values to profitable
level
Denims, tickings and some other
coarse colored cottons are not in ab-
undant supply in first hands. The
printed goods market on the staple

active for spring delivery There has
been an active call for job lots OF

very bearish on cotton and talk of
getting goods on n basis of 1Oc.
Many lines of spring cottons are

Grounds of Friendship.
Dallas, Texas, July 17.-State-wide
prohibition is the leading issue in a
campaign now on in the Democratic
party of Texas to select nominees for
all State offices from Governor down
to constable. Primaries will be held
on July 23 with about $50 candidates
TO be voted on, a number unusually
large in the big Lone Star State. In
addition instructions will be given
for United States senator for the term
beginning March 4, 1911, and Sena
tor Charels A. Culberson is without
opposition for reelection to this Of
flee.
Nomination will be equivalent to
election, except in two or three legis
lative districts, and the candidate re-
ceiving the highest number Of votes
becomes the nominee.
The activities of certain men of
high political standing have added to
the campaign important fea tures 9TH
er than prohibition. The attitude of
United States Senator Joseph w.
Bailey is being generally watched, be-
cause of the influence it may have on
his fortunes when he becomes a cam
didate for reelection, two years from
now.
About two years ago Mr.. Bailey
announced that he favored the exist
ing local option system. In speeches
since congress adjourned, Senator
Bailey has given his support to Judge
William Poindexter, for Governor, on
the grounds Of friendship. Judge
Poindexter favors amending the con-
stitution to prohibit liquor traffic, but
opposes statutory Statewide prohi-
bition act as being unconstitutional.
There are four candidates for Gov
ernor. the others besides Judge Poin-
dexter being Cone Johnson, Oscar p.
Colquitt and r. v. Davidson.
Mr.. Johnson favors Statewide pro-
hibition. He has announced that ;f
the next Legislature refuses to SUBJ
NIT prohibition constitutional
amendment for popular decision he
will attempt to have the legislature
pass Statewide prohibition statute.
Mr.. Colquitt opposes Statewide
prohibition and also Is against sub
mission of the amendment, unless
two-thirds of the districts shall in
struct for it in the primaries. He is
a member of the State railroad COM
mission.
Mr.. Davidson resigned the office of
Attorney General to make the race.
He opposes prohibition, but favors
submitting the amendment because
of the demands for it which Demo-
cratic voters made two years ago.
Governor Campbell has added a
dash of excitement to the campaign
by calling a special session of the
legislature, to meet four days before
the primaries, and letting it be known
that, in the event Of Mr. Colquitt's
nomination, he will ask the legisla-
ture to call a constitutional conven-
ton, the significance OF this move
being that the convention can be call
ed by simple majority vote of the
legislature, whereas a constitutional
amendment requires two-thirds
vote for submission. The Governor
is understood to favor any of the can
didates except Mr.. Colquitt, who has
bitterly assailed the present admins
tration.
The other parties will hold precinct
conventions on July %, the Demo-
cratic party being the only one re-
Quired to hold primaries The Re-
publican party's probable nominee
for Governor is j. O. Terrell, OF San
Antonio, Well-known Democrat.

Methodist church were services were
in progress. He entered the church
armed with a shotgun. He shouted
that he was preparing to send all sim

Rev. Avery, a load of shot entering
Avery's breast. Clark was sitting at
the organ at the time and the second
shot tore hole in his back, several
shot penetrating his heart and caus-
ing instant death.
After firing another shot Ellison
hurried from the church and went to
the home Of his wife's mother, Celia

he fired on them, the sister-in-law
being fatally injured.

crime, and made ready for his es-
cape, as he had horse tethered near

Hayman returned the fire and the
negro darted down a dark alley. The
place where he was supposed to be
in hiding was surrounded and after a
careful search the negro was found
just inside a white residents yard in
a sitting posture. His gun was be-
