Explain Their Side.

Atthe opening Of the first meeting
called to order in the court house at
p M, attorneys for the governor,
chiefly through F. H. Dominick, ex-
planned at some length to the commit
tee the position taken by them. At the
afternoon session s. j. Nichols had
much to say At one time in the first
session cheers and yells of applause
for j. M. Greer by the spectators con-
sumed considerable time and at the af-
ternoon session the crowd cheered
Justify in appreciation of remarks by
Mr.. Greer and R. M. Jeffries. In the
crowd that filed the court room were
many supporters of the governor and
some of the Blease leaders of the
Piedmont as well as .Spartanburg
county. Visitors from several nearby
counties were in evidence, including
Cherokee, Union and Greenyille.
The most exciting incident Of the
day came shortly after the committee
met at $50 O'Clock after the dinner
recess. Just after the committee had
indorsed the action Of F. Stevenson,
chairman, in mapping the work OF
the committee from Cha. Dtte, j. M.
Greer demanded in loud toee. "your"
authority for meeting members of the
committee in Charlotte. This created a
demonstration that dsepenedin a mo-
nent into an uproar, Cries OF "Give it
to 'em, Greer" and go to Charlotte,
came from various parts of the room
and men in all parts of the hall rose
in their seats and pushed toward the
inclosure around the judges stand
where the chairman sat with the mem
bers of the committee grouped Just
just outside the railing.
Demands Order.
Mr.. Stevenson announced that un-
less there was order the committee
would adjourn to a room where the
audience would be so small it would
have to be orderly. Mr.. Greer shouted
''You can't do it," The cry was taken
up by many in the crowd. S. ]. Mich
oils made an appeal for order.
Mr. Stevenson reminded the crowd
that if any man is declared the nomi-
nee for governor it will be on the re-
port of this committee and if the COM
mittee could not proceed in the court
room the work would be continued
elsewhere.
In the midst of the uproar J. T. Dun
can, appearing as a contestant, spoke
at some length, and the yells of the
crowd turned to cheers for Duncan.
1--WE are glad to have an audience,
but l will ask that members of the
audience will not participate in the
procedure of the committee and will
refrain from voting On motions" cau-
toned Mr.. Stevenson after order was
restored.
Not long after the demonstrations
the roll Of counties was called, and

Slighs, Sept. 26.-Owing to the alb
sence of our pastor, Rev. P. E. Shealy,
who was granted vacation Of a few
weeks, DR.. ]. H. Harms, president OF
Newberry college, preached for US at
Colony on last Sunday morning.
DR.. Harms delivered an excellent
sermon. He is a deep thinker, being
brimful of thoughts that are enough
to arouse any one to thinking and
preparing for the great beyond and
not so much worldly honor, and lay
ing up treasures on earth alone. Where
our minds are there will our hearts be
also. DR.. Harms: intention was to
impress the Importance of "being just,
kind and humble" These three COM
mands being the "key note" of reli-
gion.
We are having plenty of rain these
days. Also cooler weather. The past
several weeks have been nice for pick
ing cotton which if it continues to
open as it has been opening the early
planting will soon be about all open.
The crop is fully one-third off, we
think, through this section. The pea
crop is also short.
We have been informed that Miss
Lizzie Neel, who was elected to teach
Union school, has resigned to teach
Johnstone school.

at 10 o'clock tonight indicated the re-
nomination of Gov. Eugene n. Foss by
the Democrats over Joseph C. Pelle-

A light vote was cast throughout the

and contests in both parties for the
head of the ticket. Even congression-

to arouse the voters.
Gov. Foss expressed himself as well
pleased with the returns. He said:

party. 1t spells victory in November.

DUTCH WEATHER PROPHET
PREDICTS EARLY FROST
Thinks That Winter Will be Early
and That There Will be Some
Snow.

Severe frost will ocurr in the period
of October rs. This will be quite ear
ly, but not altogether unusual, as kill
ing frost has occurred in the Piedmont
section of South Carolina as early as
September FL. The frost predicted by
the Dutch weather prophet for the first
week in October will not be killing
frost in the latitude of Columbia, but
it is more than probable that it will
kill vegetation in the Piedmont.
October 14-17 will also be another
period of low temperature.
The rainfall during the three months
ending with December will be above
the normal with east and northeast
winds largely prevailing during the fall
months.
The winter will not be without
snow. A heavy fall of snow is indicated
for the period of which the winter
solstice December 2D is the central
period.
There will be no general West In
dian storm this year. The influences
which produce these storms have not
been centralized this year, but they have
become separated, and thus are
producing phenomenal disturbances
throughout the world, such as cloud
bursts in the high attitudes in the
Rocky mountains and the Alleghanies
and water spouts in the oceans and
excessive rainfall on the coasts, while
the middle plateaus have experienced
severe electrical storms. All these
phenomena have been localized largely,
thus showing the separative effect of
the influences which usually produce
generally equinoctial disturbance. The
Mississippi overflow was the. result Of
the storm which centered around Nov
enber 18, 1911, and which was predicted
in these forecasts. Likewise this same
storm made it possible for the gulf
storm to enter the mainland at Mobile
several weeks ago, for the planetary
conditions which have been at work for
year had formed a fortification Of
air pressure which made it impossible
for tropical storm to break in at any
point on the coast except the north
central gulf coast.
A special forecast for temperature
of October 1 to December FL will be
made on the former date.

MAJOR CALDWELL'S VIEWS.
interviewed On the Interesting and
Important Question of the
Day.

A Herald and News man asked Ma
jor ]. F. ]. Caldwell two or three days
ago, what he thought Of the election
probe" He answered that there seem
ed to him to be little prospect of any
substantial result, and that great
many persons who voted for Judge
Jones were quite as tired of the mat
ter as were any of Gov. Blease's
friends. He said: "The thing has drag
ged too long. The primary election
was held four weeks ago, yet the In
vestigation is hardly more than begun.
If there be literal truth in Horace's
maxim 'Dimidiam facti qui coepit
habet' "a work once begun is already
half doneO, and we are halfway
through, we need not expect the COM
pletion before about the 25th of Oc-
tober, ten or eleven days before the
general ,election-leaving a perilously
narrow margin of time for action. The
unreasonable procastination is likely
to be followed by it's usual successor,
unwise precipitancy. In the circum-
stances, feel as the old Confederate
soldier did in regard to controversy
laid before him. The disagreement
had gradually involved several young
er men, and grew hotter the longer it
lasted. Finally, despairing of adjust
ment among themselves, they referred
the matter to their veteran senior.
He heard both sides, and then said:
"Now you all want me to decide con-
sarnin' of this here dispute?''
eyes, yes," they all answered.
well, then," said the old man,
"drap it."
Both parties demurred for a bit, but
before long they did 'drap it." And
the result was peace and amity in the
camp.

at Columbia Vaughn was securely
handcuffed to the sheriff, and they
were taken to the union station in the

tifcation for which the sheriff wired
yesterday afternoon arrived this
morning and the magistrate, after ask
ing Vaughn if he was willing to go
back without extradition papers, turn
ed him over to the sheriff
Vaughn appeared to be worried and
this afternoon stated that he was will
ing to take his medicine and only
asked the people of Greenville to give
him fair trial. "If ever a man has
repented for his SINS" he said, that
man is me. Every night since l re-
signed as superintendent of the or
phan asylum l have prayed to my
Maker to forgive me. My wife and
child are living near Greenville, and
it is breaking my heart to think what
my child will have to face when it
