THE STATE CAMPAIGN
MEETING IN NEWBERRY
CAMPAIGN PARTY REACHES NEW
BERRY NEXT TUESDAY.
Meeting to Be Held on Lewis Property'
Part of Old Jones Place, Front
ing Fair Grounds.

Official announcement was made on
Monday that the State campaign meet
ing in Newberry on next Tuesday, Au-
gust 13, will be held on the Lewis
property, across the road from the old
fair grounds, out on east Main street,
about a mile from the court house.
The Lewis property, which has been
selected as the place of meeting, is a
part of the old Jones property.
Efforts were made to secure place
for an open-air meeting nearer the
centre of the city, but the efforts were
unsuccessful.
The meeting will be called to order
by County Chairman Fred. H. Domin-
ick promptly at 1880 o'clock, and the
candidates will be introduced accord
ing to the official program as arranged
by the candidates.
There has been intense interest in
the State campaign, and there Will De
a big crowd at the Newberry meeting.
Newberry is the home of Governor
Blease, and is the native county OF all
three of the candidates for governor.
In the second primary of two years
ago Governor Blease received 1892
votes and his opponent, Mr.. c. c.
Featherstone, received 963.
The Newberry meeting is the first
meeting on the program for next week.
The party goes from here to LaureRs'
and the candidates will probably leave
Newberry for Laurens on the evening
train on the c., n. & l.. road.

CLOVER is HARD HIT
BY VERY FIERCE STORM
Cotton Mill is Completely Destroyed
One Woman is Injured.

Glover, Aug. 3-A West Indian hur-
ricane struck this community about 3
O'Clock this afternoon. The wind at
tanned velocity of between Is and 100
miles an hour and hail fell to the depth
of an inch or more. The storm cut
through a space about four miles in
width, totally destroying the growing
crops and damaging many buildings.
The Glover cotton mills were de-
stroyed, being razed to the ground, the
loss will probably reach 100000. A
number of dwellings were blown down
and nearly every dwelling and busi-
ness house in the town were damaged.
Electric wires and uprooted trees COM
pletely blocked traffic.
Many of the mill operatives lost all
their effects and many narrow escapes
are reported AS far as can be ascer-
tanned only one person, woman, was
seriously injured, although at the time
there were nine people in the house
and the house was virtually reduced
to kindling wood.
AS far as can be learned the dam
age will reach over half million dol

REFUSED EXTRA BALLOTS.
Executive Committee Chairman j. G
Evans Turns Governor Down.

Spartanburg, August g. Special:
Chairman John Gary Evans, Of the
State executive committee, received
this morning the letter of Governor
Cole L. Blease, concerning the addi-
tional ballots. The letter appeals to
Mr. Evans for $4,000 additional ballots
for the use of Governor Blease on cleo
ton day, August 81. Under recent
ruling of this committee, no ballot will
be counted unless it is the official bal
lot furnished by the committee. While
Ex-Governor Evans has not answered
the letter yet, he stated that the re-
quest of the governor would be re-
fused by the committee. Mr. Evans
feels that if he has right to grant
such a request to Governor Blease,
every other candidate for every office
would be in a position to make the
same demands, and there is no telling
where the matter may end, Thus, said
Mr. Evans, no ballots will be furnished
any candidate. He added, however,
that the committee would provide an
ample number of ballots for use on
election day and that no voter would
experience any trouble in getting
tickets.

GREAT REUNION CROWD
AT LITTLE MOUNTAIN
FINE GATHERING IN INTEREST OF
NEWBERRY COLLEGE.
One of the Biggest Crowds in History
OF These Gatherings-Several
Addresses.

About FIVE thousand people attended
the annual Newberry college reunion
at Little Mountain on Friday. 1t was
one of the biggest crowds ever pres
ent at these annual gatherings, and
those who have attended these reun-
ions know what that statement means.
The weather was warm, as was to be
expected of a day in August, but the
heat was notsso intense as during some
days preceding, and the day was not
uncomfortable.
The crowd came from all the sur
rounding counties, and included many
alumni and former students of the
college. Everybody there was friend
of the college, of course. Old acquain-
tances were renewed and new acquain-
tances formed, and the da, passed off
pleasantly and happily.
Several excellent addresses were
made in the interest Of the college and
in the interest of education generally.
Prof. S. ]. Derrick presided in his
usual happy manner. The address OF
welcome was made by Mr.. Hollie l..
Harmon, of Chaplin. Other addresses
along educational lines, and in the in
terest of the college, were made by
C. ]. Ramage, Esq, of Saluda; ]. b.
O'Neall Holloway, E. H. Aull, DR.. A. j..
Bowers, and President j. Henry
Harms.
Mr.. w. B. Shealy was elected presi-
dent and Mr. V. B. Sease secretary OF
the association for the ensuing year.
President Harms, of the college, said
On Monday that he was much gratified
in the great number of people who
have attended all the college reunions
this year, and in the enthusiasm for
the college which has been in evidence.

jewelry, silverware, bric-a-brac and
art treasures. There are diamonds,

"He has confessed to entering the
homes of score of wealthy persons. I
have no idea what percentage of the
stolen goods we have recovered. He
apparently kept all the things he stole

But he must have disposed of large

To the Editor of The State: AS a
citizen of South Carolina, I desire to
enter my protest against the publlca-
ton in a reputable journal of the State
Of such an item as that furnished by
the mayor of Charleston, which ap-
peared in the most conspicuous news
columns of your paper Wednesday.
This protest is not made because of
any political affiliations-(politics has
nothing whatever to do with it) but in
the name of decency!
1t is indeed surprising that any jour
nal, having respect for the womanhood
and children of South Carolina, would
permit the publication of such filthy
utterance as a certain portion of the
statement by the mayor of Charleston.
That article rendered The State unfit
to go into the homes of the thousands
of South Carolinians who are number
ed among its subscribers, and its pub
lication is deserving of the severest
condemnation.
Many citizens of Newberry, regard
less of their political affiliations, have
been heard to express themselves in
no uncertain terms in reference to this
phase of "the ethics of journalism,
and it nabe said without the slightest
fear of contradiction that if there is
one in this city in sympathy with this
type of Journalism he has not yet been
heard to express himself.
If the "ethics of Journalism" de-
mands-or permits-the publication
of such a news item as that mentioned
above, then God pity poor old South
Carolina" and the "ethics of journal

EDUCATED FOOL, KLEPTOMANIAC.
Alleged Chicago Society Burglar and
FOrger Arrested.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-After twenty-four
hours work the police today completed
an inventory of the art treasures, brio
a-brac, jewelry, silver plate and other
articles stolen by Jacob F. Guthrie, al
legged society burglar and forger, now
under arrest, and announced that the
goods recovered are estimated to be
worth s25O,OOO.
Last night, after a partial examina-
ton of the barn and the room in a
storage warehouse, which Guthrie used
to hide a portion of the articles stolen,
the police estimated the valve at $780,
600. This was nearly doubled when
half dozen additional trunks and
chests filled with jewelry, laces and
bric-a-brac were discovered. Much of
the stolen property was found in Guth-
rie's home, where he lived with his
mother, sister and brother, who is a
Chicago policeman.
Well Educated.
Further investigation of the young
mans history revealed that after
graduating in a course in electrical
engineering at a Chicago technical in
stitute he obtained employment with
an electric company. Later he was
employed in the municipal laboratory.
Subsequently he was appointed an in
structor in electrical engineering at
one of the public high schools.
Guthrie is 26 years Of age, six fe"
in height and weighs 200 pounds. He IS
poorly dressed, although at the time
he was arrested he had more than
100000 deposited to his credit in Chi
cago banks.
DR.. Leslie w. Schwab, who has been
physician for the Guthrie family for a
number of years, talked with the pris-
oner for an hour today and later con-
ferred with Capt. Halpin, of the detec-
tive bureau.
Peculiar Mental Condition.
DR.. Schwab said: Guthrie is an ed
ucated fool in my opinion. I have
known him since childhood. He has
always been a bookworm. He read de-
tective and problem novels incessant-
". The effect of this has been to ere
ate a peculiar mental condition. He
has all the characteristics of a. con-
armed kleptomaniac. I believe he has
