tory - Meeting at GrcenvilIc on
Thursday Expected to he Stormy.

Columbia, Aug. 1S.-With the pri-
mary election only eight days off, the
people are patiently awaiting the
end of the present strained political
condition, and when GreenvilIe is
reached on next Thursday and the
fOi lal campaign comes to close,
the people will settle down and be
prepared to cast their ballots on the
9th for their candidates for Cover
nor and for the other offices. With
only three more scheduled meetings
| until the close, interest will shift to
Columbia, where the centre Of activity
will be transferred after the closing
OF the stump-speaking which has
been going around the State ever since
the middle of June.
Greenville on Thursday is expected
to be stormy climax to what has
been the most spectacular and bit
ter campaign ever seen in South Caro-
lima, for Greenville is the home Of
]. y. King and o. NJ. Watson, the
two men who were ordered out of the
governors mansion one Sunday few
weeks ago. when they came asking
for Communication Of a sentence i'm
posed on a negro. The Governor says
the two men were drunk and that If
they ever come back to his house in
similar condition somebody would
have to come and carry them out
Not only that. b,, he stated in his
! speech from the State House steps
and from other stumps that if these
men went to anyOnes house in a con-
dition and acting like they did when
they were in his house and were shot
| he would pardon the slayer. He fur
| ther denounced them bitterly, and
said: If they are gentlemen, then
God pity the hOboes Of South Caro-
lima"
Both Messrs King and Watson have
denounced the Governor as a liar, and
| said they were nc. drunk as charged,
and they have further stated that
Blease will not come to Greenville to
their face and say such things about
| them as he said on the State House
steps here. They have been fighting
Blease for all they are worth and it
Is said that they have changed more
than a thousand votes in Greenville
alone from Blease to Jones, not to
mention the hundreds Of others in
the adjoining counties. This much
is evident, il any reference is made
to this incident In Greenville there
will likely be trouble. Both sides will
be present in force and therefore the
ending of the formal campaign may
yet prove more exciting and spectac-
ular than any meeting heretocor wit
messed.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
Again I ask you to publish my
opinion In your valuable paper.
I see the fight between a Frank
Avchen and Oflcer Jensen Is not end
ed. Again / want to make a few
statements, which will interest the
people downtown, who don't see and
hear everything going on in the
woods"
Now some people when they come
over here from the old country have
nothing except a little clothes and
sometimes are chased away from
their country to escape army duty.
Many of them are unable to read
right or do anything else, and after
they are here a few years become
citizens.
Now is it right to call a man, a
good, faithful, respectable business
man and citizen, when such a man
goes into a courtroom and insults the
Judge and the officers? And now
such a party goes into other towns,
hold meetings and wants our police
department to be run as they feel
like having 1t.
Why do they want officer Jensen
off duty at once? Because they
want to do business on Sunday and
l hope that our officer will strictly
enforce the law and take everyone
down the cooler who doesn't uphold
the law. I will have my eyes wide

and engineers.
The first thing that the committee
will do Is to select an architect.
This you will readily understand is
very important. A building adapted
for Y. M. G.. A. purposes Is a build
ing that is very intricate in its con-
struction and Is in a class wholly by
itself. There are architects through
out the country who have made a spe-

|SAYS HIS BOY
is |NCORR|GIBLE

Declaring his son.. Antoine Teriolo,
thirteen years old, to be incorrigible
and himself unable to cope with
him. Rocco Teriolo, Of S96 Washing
ton street, appealed to the police
last night. He wanted the boy ar
rested and sent to some institution,
claiming he would not go to school,
refused to work and was generally a
young vagrant. He wanted him sent
to an institution where he would be
confined and might thereby learn
something.
Patrolman Hartung was detailed
on the a and made an tnvest1ga-
ton. He refused to arrest the boy
without q warrant and advised the
father to confer with Recorder
Kehoe, which he said he would do.

BILLS
MUST BE PAID

II there is one debt a person must
pay above all others. 1t Is a liquor
bill, according to the statements OF
Recorder Kehoe last night in passing
jud gment in a case of Clement EURO,
of 459 Mechanic street, against Frank
Magyar, a saloonkeeper OF Buck1ng-
ham avenue and High street. EURO
charged that Magyar had taken a
$40 bill from him and given but 81
in change because he owned the sal
oonkeeper about 81.
Magyar said EURO owed him ~
and not alone refused to pay, but
would not enter his place and bought
his drinks from a saloon on the oppo-
site corner. The defendant denied
taking Zuro's money, and said EURO
had paid 1t voluntarily. The judge
said it made little difference II Mag
var had taken the money after EURO
laid 1t down, or EURO gave 1t up vol
unfairly. He said he had no sym
patty to offer for a a who would
run up a liquor bill and refuse to
pay it. With that the recorder pro-
lceeded to admonish EURO and de-
clared the complaint dismissed.

PROGRESS OF

find a clean, delightful and conven-
lent home.
Few cities have grown more rap
idly than Perth Amboy has during
the past ten years.. and the promise
OF the future ia very great. There
fore, 1t seems wise that the commit
tee should provide amply for the
present and future needs.
To this end they. have in mind, and
are planning for the construction of
a building that will not only have
the ordinary departments. such as I
have mentioned, but will also pro-
vide for at least forty or fifty rooms
at the outset where young men can
live. It would seem wise also If the
building could be constructed 30 that
another story for dormatories can be
added in the future as occasion de-
mands.
A cut is presented herewith of q
building in another city, and upon
the order of which 1t is desired that
our building shall be constructed,
This is simply given as an illustra-
ton Of the general character of the
modern building now being erected
for such purposes. 1t may be changed
In detail, but is presented In order
that you may know about what the
committee have In mind.
A progressive city like our own
Will not be satisfied with anythine
below u standard. A building
such as we have shown is ACCORDING
to the standard of other cities of ouI
wealth and population. Other cities
can build and support such buildings
Why cannot we!

as pleased with its workings.
Members of the Board of Aldermen
have in mind the purchase OF auto
apparatus, especially.h hose and chemi-
cal vehicles. After seeing them thor
oughly demonstrated they have prac-
tically decided that the next piece of
apparatus will be motor driven in
preference to horse hitch, and II It
comes up to expectations other appa-
ratus to be purchased will be motor
driven. Thus, motors may be substi-
tuted for horses in every part of the
fire department within the next few
years.

ratus viewed last night was being
