will inconvenience him for several

WON'T GET NEAR.BEER BACK.
Governor BleaSe Refuses Demand of
NeWberry Man for Return OF Stun
Recently Seized Here.

Columbia, July 21.-Gov. Blease re-
ceived today a request almost de-
mand from J. T. Lawson, of Newberry,
that the barrels of near-beer seized
recently by constable be returned to
him, and the governor not only declin-
ed TO return the stuff but told his cor
respondent that the authorities would
continue to make such seizures. Gov
ernor B1ease wrote to lawson:
"The constable did right in taking
the near-beer and I have Instructed
him to keep on taking it and have
you put in Jail if you keep on violating
the law. 1 do not propose to allow
it. A copy of this letter has been for
warded to the constable to act ac-
cordingly." Commenting on the Sit
uation, the governor said: II am not
a prohibitionist in principle or in prac-
tice, although so far as the practice
is concerned the doctors wont let me
indulge now, but propose to do all
in my power to enforce the liquor
laws"
Lawson argues that he ought not
to be molested because he hears that
near-beer is being sold openly in other
South Carolina towns. He said also
that an analysis which he had made
showed that his beer contained moth
ing at all that was intoxicating"

TWICE A WEEK, S1.50 A YEAR.

Metho6ists own and run Baldwin,
the Presbyterians have slight toe
hold in one of the suburbs and the
Catholics have a church with a dozen
OF so members over near the railroad.
But it is hard shedding for both anti
Methodist institutions. Some years
ago a Topeka Presbyterian opened a
bank there, but he sold out later. He
said that Baldwin was no place for a;
Presbyterian to- try to do business IN.
Perhaps more superannuated preach
ers live in Baldwin than in any other
city of it's size in the world. They
flock there to spend their last days, as
the spirit of the town just suits them
1t is also a great place for retired
farmers with religious tendencies
Parents move there from all sections
of the country in order to get the ef-
feet of the spirit upon their children

AVERAGE YIELD OF CORN.
There viii be Plenty of HOminy to 10
Il With the Hog in South Carolina
This Year.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
In spite Of discouraging reports
that have come from several countess
the indications at this time are that
the States corr. crop this year will be
very little if at all below the average
yield taking the State as whole.
While the most distressing cond1-
tons are reported from a few coun-
ties, among them Cherokee, Barnwell
and Calhoun, and shortage indicated
in many others, most Of the larger
and the corn-growing counties report
that larger. yields are expected, in
some counties larger than in many
years past.
AS with cotton: the effect Of i'm
proved methods of corn cultivation is
being felt this year, as is also the in
fuence of the boys corn clubs and
the offer Of prizes for large yields.
The upland corn, due to the long
drought, is not good anywhere, but
the young corn and the bottom land
crop, which has had plenty of mois-
ture and at times when it needed it,
is as a rule in splendid condition.
While the older crop is now maturing,
and has done only fairly well, the
young corn is promising, and with a
very few exceptions, is getting all the
rain necessary.
With good seasons from now on,
the indications at present are that
there will be plenty of hominy TO go
with the hog in South Carolina this
year, and in some sections very little
western corn will be bought.
Reports indicate especially good
corn crops in Dorchester, Colleton,
"Saluda, Berkeley, Pickens, Darling
ton, Dillon, Florence, Charleston,

Editor of The State Painfully Injured
by Automobile Machin;
Turns Turtle.

Greenville, July 21.-Capt- W. e.
Gonzales, editor of The State, who was
injured in an automobile wreck near
Fountain Inn this morning, was
brought to the city about noon and is
lat the Greenville infirmary, where his
physician, DR.. C. B. Earle, said to-
night, after thorough examination,
that there are no injuries besides a
confusion on the back Of the head and
q .bruise on the back just above the
thigh. DR.. Earle says Mr.. Gonzales
will probably be out within the next
two or three days.
The State correspondent saw Capt
Gonzales at 7 o'clock tonight, and he
had sufficiently recovered from the
shock of the accident to be able to
give a connected account of the wreck.
Capt. Gonzales, with his negro chauf-
feur, left Columbia early this morning
in a touring car for Asheville, and at
10 o'clock reached Fountain Inn
without n1ishap. Just north of Foun-
tain Inn on the direct road to Green
vile a party of telephone linemen
were at work and had lowered three
or four wires across the road. Going
at rate Of about 20 miles per hour
the automobile was within a few
yards of the suspended wires before
the lineman stationed to warn pas
sengers Of the danger was seen, and
On seeing the wires before him the
driver mistook them for live wires
and veered to the roadside in order to
avoid them. At the same tfSe he ap-
piled the emergency brake. One Of
the tires Of the machine exploded,
causing the machine to rush with ter
rife force into an embankment along
side the road. The automobile turned
completely over, pinning under it Mr..
Gonzales and the driver, the only two
passengers. Fortunately deep ditch
held the machine off them in part, and
probably saved both Capt. Gonzales
and his driver from serious injury.
Capt. Gonzales was brought to Green
Vile in an automobile and given i'm
mediate attention by Dr.. Earle The
negro driver was given attention at
Fountain Inn. He is not badly hurt.
Mrs. Gonzales, who was at Ashe-
vile, was notified Of the accident and
is expected to reach Greenville before
midnight.
Capt. Gonzales, in telling Of the ac
cident tonight, said the car is almost
complete wreck. When the news Of

QUICK WORK.
Constables Cannon G.. Blease ano
ThOs. P. Adams Cover Four Miles
in Nine Minutes.

About - o'clock on Friday nlgnt'
Constable Blease got a phone mes
sage to come to Mr.. B. B. Leltzseys
house, that drunken negro was ours
ing around the house, there being no
male members of the family then pres
ent Mr.. Blease, who is as quick an
oficer as can be found in any city or
country, never did quicker work than
was done from the time he received
that message to the time OF finishing
the business in hand. He sought MS
partner in such work, Mr.. T. Z.
adams, who is a good match in cour-
age and efficiency, and the two reach
ed the Leitzsey residence, four miles
on route two, in nine minutes, travel
ing in the car of Mr.. Fred H. Dom
mick, who had kindly placed it at the
disposal Of the officers, and which
was driven by Mr. W. G.. Waldrop, who
is ever ready to accommodate MS
friends in such work at any time of
the day or night.
When they arrived at their destina-
ton they found the negro, Ben Gray
still cursing around The house. He
was 50 unruly, and resisted the OF
fcers to such an extent that in order
to subdue him Officer Blease had to
club him into submission. The party
brought the negro to town and got
DR.. W. G.. Houseal to attend to his
wounded head. DR.. Houseal seWed
four scalp wounds for him, t-t about l
o'clock in the morning. 1t was all
quick and effective work. At the ear
liest hour available Gary was tried
by Magistrate J. c. Sample, (Wno
knows what to do right away in such
cases,) and was sentenced to fine OF
$500 or to serve ninety days on
the road.
It just happened that there was no
male protector with Mrs. Leitzsey on
that night and Gray must have known
it, but he was not counting on Mrs.
Leitzseys GOODNESS and presence OF
mind in so promptly sunnnoning the
authorities of the law to her assist
ance. In the good work Of being on
hand with ability to do the job OF
bringing in violent offenders, Blease
and Adams are twin night hawks in
the department of justice and don't
get scared at shadows or substances.
This demonstrates the usefulness
of both the telephone and the automo-
bile.
At 1 o'clock a doctor is stitching
wounds in the scalp of negro who
about one hour before was four miles
in the country frightening lady by
his loud cursing around her house at
the midnight hour, the lady without
protection and the community asleep.
The telephone and the automobile
played their respective parts in this
instance, as they have in other in
stances in the welfare of the city and
county. And it would be well if the
authorities could be provided with
autos of their own, in cases of emer-
gency when private cars may not be
available.

GOOD KANSAS TOWN

school of the West, is in class by it.
self, says an exchange. There is NO
other town in the state like it.
Religion forms the warp and woot
not only of the college and its at
taches and students, but of the busi-
ness interests as well. Talk with the
Baldwin banker, barber, druggist or
~liveryman for five minutes and he will
say something about the religious spir-
it that pervades the townsite. And he
speaks of it in a friendly way, too. He
seems to take a great pride in it. The
spirit of the people is so entirely diff
ferent from that of the other towns
that it is very noticeable as well as re-
freshing.
Once upon time Baldwin had a
Commercial club, run on the same
lines as such clubs are run in other
towns. 1t failed of it's purpose. The
business men say it was due to. the
lack Of the true Baldwin spirit which
being interpreted means that 1t lack
ed the thread of religion in its fabric.
Another club has now arisen in the
ashes of the Continental club and it
is accomplishing all sorts Of things in
town development 1t is the Metho-
dist Brotherhood. When someone
thinks of a scheme that will help the
town he presents it to the Methodist
Brotherhood, which gives it consider
alton. If it is approved then the
brotherhood gets behind and pushes
with all the vim of the Kansas City
Commercial club. If the brotherhood
disapproves it the scheme is dropped.
Every busines man in the town
belongs to the brotherhood and all
take great interest in the club and its
work. The brotherhood meets once
month and all business houses close
except the drug store, so that the pro-
prietors and clerks can attend the
meeting. The brotherhood aroused in
terest in municipal Improvements un-
til the town now has complete sew
er system, electric lights and water
works.
1t is working on a farewell recep-
tion to DR.. Murlin, retiring president
of Baker. These things are cited SIM
ply to show the wide scope of its WORK
A stranger is soon impressed with
the seeming eccentricities of the town.
For instance, the hotel will not keep
cigars in stock for it's customers. Iae
proprietor doesn't believe in smoking.
One druggist keeps cigars, the only
ore in town. A stranger noticed stat
tho cigar case was rather empty and
asked aDo1t it.
"Oh, we had quite a run last week"
said the druggist, "and I haven't got
around tc ordering any mora" For
many years, it is said, it was lmpos-
5iole (" luy a cigar in the town.
