A Fire Wednesday M.rning.

Fire destroyed the stable and barn
of Mr.. j. w. Meng and terant house
belonging to Mr.. j. H. Gault W. Wednes-
day morning about 2 o'clock. The
fire company got to the fire, in five
minutes from the time the alarm was
sounded, but the buildings burned
like tinder and were soon about de-
stroyed before anything could be
done. Mr.. Meng lost the contents of
his barn and horse and
wagon. But for the prompt work of
the fire company the fire would have
spread to nearby buildings.

QUITE A STIR HERE
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
AUCTIONEERS AND LAWYER
WERE ARRESTED.
Clash Between City Authorities and
Receivers of Kidd's Jewelry Store.
City Lost Case When Tried Last
Monday-Large Crowd Attended
the Trial.

Quite sensation was given the |
community here last Saturday night.
The conflict between the city authori-
ties and the auctioneers at Kidd's
jewelry sale waxed warmer and
warmer from about nine o'clock up to
1880. AS was reported last week,
w. T. Kidd was arrested and convicted
in the police court upon the charge Of
conducting an auction sale without
proper license from the city author
tiles. He was fined $50 and appealed
the case. Pending the appeal it was
agreed that he pay the $500 license
required Of the city and that 81 Of
each payment would be returned if the
higher court failed to sustain the
town. In the beginning Of the trouble
it seems that Mr.. Kidd was paying
81. day for license to sell. The
city authorities decided to raise the
license to SIS day. Mr.. Kidd, hear
ing Of this decision, it is alleged by the
town, went early in the morning to
Mr.. P. c. Whisonant, and before the
town clerk, Mr.. Arthur, got in, paid
$40 for license for 10 days. The
contention arose over this Today IL
cense. The city offered to refund the
money, but also demanded a fee of
$5 day for conducting the sale. Mr..
Kidd refused to surrender the license
or to pay the SIS day. All this was
in reference to the matter before and
up to the trial of Mr.. Kidd. Then the
agreement was entered into between
Mr.. Kidd and the city authorities that
the matter be adjusted in accordance
with the future decision of the higher
courts.
A day or two later the sale opened
up in a new phase. The jewelry con-
cern was placedk in .th9 hands of re-

First Meeting Of State Campaign
Held at Sumter Monday
Was Very Quiet.
BUT CAMPAIGN WAKES WARM
AT The SECOND MEETING
Gov. BleaSe Made Bitter Attack on
Judge Jones in Speech at Bishop
vile and Made Vehement Protest
Against Jones Exercising His Right
TO Make a Reply-Jones Foregoes
For Orders Sake.

Sumter, June 18.-Before thouS-
and voters the real campaign opened
here at II o'clock today. The crowd
assembled in front Of the court house
and all candidates were present and
the day was perfect.
Blease was the first speaker. He
read his speech, and touched on many
Of his oft-expressed policies. He
charged his opposition with buying
votes and in other ways referred to
the Jones campaign. He said the re-
cent state convention was controlled
by the corporation ring" and big
lawyers and that the farmers and
common people were not there
Newspapers and corporations were
the goats of Governor Blease and he
referred to them often. He opposed
the education of the negro and put
ting money in higher educational in
stitutions rather than in common
schools.
He claimed that he is the governor
of the people, for he was zone of the
people" and sat down amid cheers.
John T. Duncan was the next
speaker land he talked of many of his
old enemies, and hurled missiles at all
of his opponents. Duncan was hoot-
ed and greeted with cheers for Blease
and others. However, he spoke on.
tJudge Ssness f6ilQwsd Mr.. Duncan,
Eand he was likewise cKsered.. He de-
MED he Vas backed by*corporation
and said Blease was supported~by w.
H. Andrews, head of the powerful At
lantic Coast Lumber Company, and
Ben Abney, counsel for the Southern
who "lived in the white house."
Lets down with the demagogue"
cried Judge Jones in one of his
heights of oratory.
He told several jokes which brought
forth cheers, and at several times
cheers for Blease interrupted him.
"Those who cheer most have little
power with the ballot" and he said
the count of votes at the August pri-
mary would show him in the lead.
He assailed Blease's pardon record
and was frequently answered by
cheers from the Blease crowd.
Jones outlined his platform in
which he made it clear that his stand
of education his idea of the pardon
power and other policies outlined by
him.
Judge Jones assailed Governor
Blease's use of the pardon power
and mentioned several instances in
which he said it showed it had been
abused.
Judge Jones called on the people to
take stand for principles, not men,
and said he stood for good govern
ment.
For Attorney General.
Candidates for attorney general
came next, but the crowd thinned
greatly. Much interest was shown in
the speeches of the aspirants for the
governorship.
Hot Times Expected.
Attorney General Lyon assailed his
opponent, B. B. Evans, and said if
he did not stop his attacks on the
Ansel dispensary board he would pro-
duce the records to show that Evans
had dealt crookedly with the state.
Evans dared him to do this, and Lyon
said he would produce them tomor-
row at Bishopville.
"Ill be there" shouted one in the
audience, and hot times are expected.

Heney.
eve are obeying a better general
than you," shouted George L. Record,
of New Jersey. "He told US to leave
that room and we did it."
Hugh T. Halbert declared the break
came as the result Of the refusal Of
the majority in the committee to open
up all evidence In the cases. Mr.. Hal
bert presented resolutions asking that
the temporary roll Of the convention
be considered only as prima facie evil
dence Of the delegates to sit, and that
all evidence, testimony and the like
be gone into.
He declared the committee refused
to do this and attempted to "gag" the
minority by making rules that would
have left the action Of the national
committee as practically decisive in all
the contests.
Mr.. Heney later came back to the
lobby and urged the Roosevelt con-
testants to go to the florentine room
Of the Congress, where the Roosevelt
headquarters are located and be heard
by the members of the credentials
committee representing Roosevelt.
The majority of the boilers later
were induced to return to the commit
tee room, but the Roosevelt men made
it clear that they would leave in a
1 body unless they were conceded their
point.

Bishopville, June 19.-Some of
those who did not understand the sit

second meeting of the state political
campaign, held today in Bishopville,
was about to end in near-riot. Gov.

he sat down, Judge Jones, whom he
had been attacking, rose to make a
categorical denial, in accordance
