COLLINS AND
HUDSON FIGHT
Hudson Resents Attempt
to Shake Hands and
Slurs General-EIect.

Il e
jackson, August 10.-The ugli-
est stage in the Attorney General-
ship campaign was reached at 2:20
O'Clock yesterday afternoons when
General Spencer S. Hudson, of
Vicksburg, slapped the face Of
Ross Collins, his political opponent.
In the Union Station in the pres.
lence of number of startled spec
tators. The men met by chance as
each was waiting to board trains to
go to his homes in opposite direc-
tion. Collins approached hudson
with hand extended.
Howdy. General" Collins is
said to have greeted Hudson.
Hudson turned his back upon bis
opponent and then wheeled sudden
| ly and dealt Collins a stunning
[blow on the left side of the face.
The force of the blow with open
hand dazed Collins, and as he drew
himself alert Hudson struck him
squarely on the jaw once and miss
ed the third blow.
Fight him, Collins" several
men in an excited group shouted.
The scuffie attracted G. j. BoIen,
travelling sergeant of the peniten-
tiary, who jumped in between the
men Just as Collins was gathering
himself together to ward off an
other attack. Collins was escorted
to a far end of the depot. and
Hudson was taken in charge by
friends and placed aboard the train
which pulled into the depot just
about the time the trouble started.
The assault was so sudden that
friends of Collins who were with
him did not have chance to in
terfere. Collins had reached the
depot several minutes after Hud-
son. He stood talking to Jewell
and Fred Collins. Jr., and then
walked over towards Hudson who
was standing talking to Carl Fox,
Assistant Attorney General. There
are several different interpretations
given to the words spoken by Col
Inns. but all the witnesses agree
that Collins had his hand extended
and was smiling when he approach
ed Hudson. A majority of those
who were standing near understood
Collins to say. 'sIIomsis General
others declare th his words were
How do you % Genazn
The first blow struck BIZ Hudson
was with his open hand. and The
other two were with clenched fists.
One blow grazed Collins Jaw. The
other two landed fairly but without
sufficient force to knock him down.
Collins staggered from the slap,
but regained himself in a hurry.
Il merely wanted to show Cen
eral Hudson that / had no hard
feelings in the matter, and was
willing to bury the hatchet,'' said
Collins. Il still have no >enmity
towards him. Had / known he

preached him. was prompted by
the kindliest feelings, only. The
incident is regretted"
General Hudson remarked in the
presence of bystanders that he did
not accept the hand of Collins be-
cause he was in the habit of asso-
ciating with gentlemen and that he
did not regard Collins in that class.
/ No arrests we're made. The men

AUTHOR AND PRODUCERS TO
SEE "REBECCA" AT ACADEMY
Mrs. Wiggin, Joseph Brooks and Abraham
Erlanger to Look Over Company Tonight
Which Goes to London.

The presentation OF "Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm" at the Academy
of Music tonight will be an event
of extraordinary interest in local the
atrical circles aside from the fact that
this wonderful attraction has never
been seen before In this town. AL
most everybody remembers Rebecca,
the little New England girl, with the
looks, tho manner and the prattle Of
& child, and yet with the heart and
head of u woman. Her creator Kate
Douglas Wiggin, sat in the theatre
yesterday and watched the perform
ance travel along toward perfection.
Joseph Brooks. who is responsible for
many of the present day successes,
sat nearby and directed the multitude
of people who convert staid old coun-
try scenes into magic array of
beauty. Tonight Abraham Erlanger,
whose master hand has brought the
stage up to its point of modern great
ness, will come here to look over the
production before 1t is sent TO Lon
don-scenery, equipment, players and
all.

lhese people have worked hard, they
know the lines they get the inspira-
ton, and they drop in as graciously
and as happy as II they were the real

Wiggin was delighted; Mr.. Brooks,
watching every twist and turn, giving
orders here and there rubbed his eyes
suspiciously now and then as tho

Anderson. s. c.. October 2s.-The

effect upon the cotton mill industry
OF the Southern States, according TO
James D. Hammett, president OF sew
eral of the largest mills in South Car

Manufacturers Association.
In a statement issued by Mr.. Ham

of the Southern mills manufacture
goods solely for export to China. and
scores OF orders already have been
Cancelled because OF the Chinese war.
He estimNtes that fully thirty mills in
South Carolina alone are dependent
upon the Chinese trade.
Unless a speedy settlement of the
revolution is reached" said Mr.. Ham
nett. SERIOUS consequences are feared
for both the Southern manufacturers
who supply the trade and the cotton
producters Of the South This fall in

China, but as a result of the revolu-
ton the demand for cloth has been
almost entirely cut off. with dispo-
