sidered his "desertion" by advocat-
ing the election of Jones in the first
primary, by his letter to John Gary
Evans demanding instant action on
the part Of the executive committee
and favoring the declaring of Blease
the nominee, is evidenced by this
statement: "It should not be forgot
ten that Senator Tillman ESQ re-
ceived the nomination, on the face OF
the returns, and should, and undoubt-
edly will be, considered the actual
nominee by the regular democracy
and supported accordingly IN the

man scenes to be solid once more
with the Blease faction.
One is struck by the fact that the
scmi-official def" has gone forth IN
this announcement that, If necessary,
the Bleaseites will make an onslaught
on the whole of the State House Off
cials the next time they get a shot
and in the general election if it goes
that far. Only two Of the accredited
nominees, John G. Richards, for rail-
road commissioner, and ]. E. Swear
ingen, superintendent Of education,
escaped and are acceptable to the
Bleaseites. The fact that Mr.. Swear
ingen, nephew OF Senator Tlllman,
Is acceptable is significant.
The State House officials running
without opposition in the primary

State; A. W. Jones, comptroller-gen-
eral; E. J. Watson, commissioner OF
agriculture; ". NJ. Moore, adjutant
general; Chas. Smith, lieutenant gov
ernor. None of these are acceptable
to the Bleaseites for they are all con-
sidered as unfriendly to the governor
and will be marked for slaughter II
an appeal is made to the general cleo
tion.
The Bleaseites, from this suggested
ticket, would take Oscar ". Babb, at
present assistant adjutant general,
and make him adjutant general over
W. M. Moore, incumbent, and run

primary. The letter goes into detail
and is considered in Columbia as be-

poses to do If the State committee re-

DEMAND FROM 8LEASE
THE GOVEENOR TELLS COMMIT
TEE IT MUST ACT.
Says He is Ready OF Lead His Fol-
lowers in the Protection Of His and
Their Rights.

Gov. Cole l.. Blease issued a
lengthy statement Thursday "to the
voters of South Carolina" in which
he dtmanded of the State executive
committee that it declare him the
nominee Of the Democratic party. He
declared himself to be the represen-
tative OF $4,000 voters in the State,
a majority o fthe whole, and speaks
for them in demanding action.
He charges that the machinery OF
the recent primary was in the hands
Of his political enemies and that II
fraud were practiced, it was perpe-
trated by voters who were not his
friends. In view Of recent editorial
expressions b ythe few papers sup
porting tho Governor that civil war
will break out if Blease is not declar-
ed the nominee the concluding
words Of Gov. Blease's statement
may be significant. They are:
81 rejoice that l have the courage,
the loyalty and devotion to the DEM
ocratis of the State, who have fought
for me, to lead them in whatever di-
rection and course that they shall de-
wise or wish in the protection OF their
right to vote for the candidates OF
their choice and have such vote de-
clared in accordance with the consti-
tuition and the rules of the party, and
with the true result Of the vote, and
to resent any wrongs which may be
attempted to be done by them"
There looks before them, he says,
the black cloud of negro parhcipa-
ton in our politics and Of negro
balance Of power and the action OF
the committee and its continued de-
lay is placing in jeopardy the De-
mocracy Of South Carolina. He says
it may be the purpose or the desire Of
the majority Of the committee to at
tempt to taint his title as the Demo-
cratic candidate, but If such be Its
purpose it must be carried out
against the expressed wishes Of over
seventy-two thousand white voters.

TWO SHOT AT SAW MILL
Father and Son Are Wounded by
the Same Man.

]. L. McLucas Of Floydale in Dillon
county shot W. G. Hyatt and his son
today about noon in an alteration
at McLucas' saw mill, which Is locat-
ed near Floydale. They were both
shot in the stomach, and it is thought
that the wound of W. G. Hyatt viii
prove fatal. From the evidence Of
spectators it is said tnat Hyatt's son
struck McLucas with hammer in the
back Of the head, and as he did so
the old gentleman grabbed a piece
of scantling and hit McLucas in the
abdomen, knocking him almost down.
At this time both Of the HyatS
jumped on McLucas and had MIN
down when he managed to draw his

language was used.
Monday night Norman Odom went
to the home Of Dorst English, called
English out and asked him about q
debt which Odom claimed English
owed him. There was dispute
about it, some hot words and then
an exchange Of pistol shots. A BAN
from Odom's pistol struck English In
the left leg, indicting painful
wound. Odom then went homt to
his fathers, VIM. 3. odom's.
A little later several unknown per-
sons started out on the war path with
shotguns. They passed Justices saw

shot struck one or two Of the me-
goes, but did not seriously wound
them.

shot from the bombarding guns
struck Norman's clothes, but did him

After Norman went back into the

mills Will consume, prOVlQeo tney
can get cotton at reasonable prices,
say anywhere under IA cents. At
present the mills in this country are
making more money on the average
than at any time since the boom OF
1907. The situation is much more
sound than it was then because job
bers and wholesalers have Kept
stocks of goods down to hand to
mouth basis. There is a theoretical
profit Of s12 to SIS bale in cotton
now used in print cloth manufactur-
ed on the basis of 12-cent cotton. AS
there no very large supply OF goods
it would be comparatively easy to ad-
vance prices in case the raw mater
ia: market justified it.
Aside from the increase in the ac-
tiyity of spindles and looms, which
is pushing manufacturers to the
limit in order to find adequate labor
supply, there has been comfortable
addition to the mill equipment of the
country, with about a million spin
dies added to the Southern mill list
durng the last year, according to the
Southern Textile Bulletin. 1t is es-
timated that this additional spindle
age calls for an increase in the use
of cotton amounting to 100000
bales. It is not unreasonable there
fore to estimate United States ana
Canadian consumption Of American
cotton during the present season at
approximately 5,750,0OO bales, pro-
yided. of course, prices stay within
reasonable limits.
with expert requirements on a
basis OF s,500,00o and American mill
requirements approximately $780,
