NEW SENATE ANTI-BLEASE.
-Four OF Governors Supporters Are
Hold-Ovcis But the Election Will
Not Give Him Majority i'm Senate.

Columbia, Aug. 29-It seems prac-
rically certain that the next State
senate will be anti-Blease OF the %
holdover senator's, four supported
nearly all Of Blease's vetoes in 1911,
but these four were the sum total of
the governors thick and thin SUD-
porters in the senate.
Four anti -Blease senator's have
been returned to the senate, accord
ing to the returns last night, and the
second primary will probably aug
ment this number considerably.
A careful consideration of the new
ly elected senators shows conclusive
ly that at least two-thirds Of them
are anti-Blease.

HOUSE BURNED SATURDAY.
Residence Of DIR. Il. Mood Smith De.
strOyed by Fire.
Cole. L. Blease.

Saturday afternoon the residence of
DR.. f. Mood Smith on West Calhoun
street between Washington and
Church streets was almost totally -
stroyed by fire. the origin of which
was unknown.
The fire caught in the rear portion
OF the house and that whole portion
Of the building was ablaze when It
was discovered. The hose wagons
turned out promptly but the fire had
already spread too much to be con-
quered before it had completed its
work and the residence was almost q
total loss.
The insurance on the building
amounted to $1,000 with $500 insur-
ance on the furniture, but the loss on
the residence and furniture will each
be much greater than the insurance
amounts to.
second alarm Of fire was sent in
from the same place about an hour
after the wagons had left. when tho
fire broke out again.

ROBERT f. COPES TO RE.
SIGN.
Successor to Late Charles G. Dantzler
to Quit Bench.

Orangeburg, Aug. 3O.-It was
with much surprise that this COM
m"nity received this morning confirm
alton OF the report Of the intended
resignation of Judge Robert E. Copes
as Judge of the 1st judicial circuit of
the State. The rumor having become
current, Judge Copes was interviewed
by the correspondent of The News
and Courier this morning. Judge
Copes stated that he had decided to
resign and would tender his resigna-
ton some time before the fall term
of Court.
Judge Copes was elected to the
Bench in January, 1911, to fill the un-
expired term of the late lamented
Charles G. Dantzler and soon after
qualified; he has since filled the high
Office with satisfaction to the State.
NO reason has been given by Judge
Copes for this decision on his part hut
IL IS understood that he will enter
upon the active practice of his pro-
lesSlon OF the law as soon as he is re-
lieVed of his official duties.
The Hon. John s. Bowman. an at
torney at this Bar and at present a
member Of the House of Representa-
ti'es. has been spoken Of as Il prob
able candidate for the office to be va
Gated by Judge Copes.

MANY GO TO FLORENCE.
LABOR DAY CELEBRATJON AT.
TRACTS CROWD FROM THIS
PLACE.
Racing Squad, Boy Scouts and Bowl
Ing Team to Represent Sumter at
Florence in Events at That Place.

Sumter was well represented at
the Labor Day celebration in Flor
ence Monday. for there were more
than fifty to leave here for that place
Monday morning. and others had al
ready gone over Saturday and Sunday
and still others will to tonight.
The chief attraction at Florence for
the Sumter people is the hose wagon
races in which the Sumter team will
participate.
The Sumter team left Saturday af-
ternoon In the best Of spirits and with
hopes of capturing some Of the prize
money and with the determination to
have a big time and to do their best
whether they win the money or not.
other members Of the fire department
left Sunday afternoon and Monday
morning, SO as to be there in time to
attend the races and see all of the at
fractions of the day.
Monday morning there were quite a
number of Boy Scouts Of Game Cock
Troop to go over on the train. They
will go up against the scouts Of Flor
ence Monday afternoon in a number
Of athletic contests in which they
hope to honor themselves and their
troop and reflect credit upon their in
strnctor, Mr. Thees who has had them
in charge for several days preparing
them for the contest. They were un-
der the management of Mr.. Thees.
Another feature Of the Florence
celebration in which Sumter will par
ticipate is the bowling match Mon
day night. There were some members
of the bowling team who went over
Monday morning and others will go
over Monday afternoon to be there
In time for the match. This will be
the third match between the two
cities, Sumter having won both OF the
former ones. The Florence team is in
high hopes Of winning the match,
Saturdays Florence Times has the
following to say concerning the teams
there for the races:
Another fire company is in the city
Tor the races Monday and Tuesday.
The Columbia department sent q
sturdy team here this morning and
the local company is taking care that
they enjoy their stay. Two more are
expected tonight, the Sumter and
Bishopville teams, and word is ex-
pected every minute from Chester and
Newberry.
The Marion boys have been enjoy
ing themselves, and they work early
and late, but rest in between times.
BY o'clock in the morning the
team and wagon are out on the
course with a whoop and a rush, and
they enjoy the early morning sprot.
The indications are for a large
crowd Of visitors on Monday, and the
people are going to expect a good
time a.

Ior the month, that is, from

ment on July rs, which was 1875.
Probably the consensus Of opinion is
"a. The more conservative element
in the market probably would place
the figure at 73 and there are some
bulls who look for nothing higher
than II or 72, just as there are many
bears who think the condition will
be 76, or even higher.
If the cercentage of condition LIZ
put above that of last year. as it
would be with loss of or points,
it will be followed by a crop of large
estimates Of the total yield. A year
ago the condition was 1872 and two
years ago it was 72.1. The argu-
ment will be, if figures no lower than
"a are issued. that the crop is ac-
tually better than it was a year ago
when a record-breaking yield was
coming to maturity. Such a hap
pening has not been expected by those
who have tried to apply logic to the
situation and have taken into account
the many reports Of damage that have
come in from various parts of the belt
as well as the drought in portions of
Texas and Oklahoma.
One argument that will. without
doubt, be advanced by the bulls is
that the crop is two, to three weeks
late this season, the belt over and
that therefore, the usual August de-
terioration has not yet set in, but
will be experienced in September and
will be all the more severe for having
been delayed.

WORK OF PLOTTERS SAYS RIVE
RO.
Cuban Minister'S Opinion of Assault
Americans.


Washington, Aug. 3O.-That En-
rique Maza, the reporter who attacked
Hugh Gibson, American charge OF
the legation in Havana, last Monday
night, was merely a tool in the hands
of Cuban plotters antagonistic to the
United States and who would like 10
get the Cuban Government into trou-
bic with the United States, was the
opinion expressed here today by Sem.
or Martin Revere, the Cuban minister
He was of the belief, he said. that.
Maza had not attacked Mr.. Gibson of
his own volition, but that he had been
urged on by others who had made
him think he had been insulted and
that he should seek revenge.
Under no circumstances. no matter
what his provocation may have been,
said the minister, was Maza justified
in the action he took That Justice
would be done in the case was the
declaration Of Senior Rivero.
The minister has notified his Gov
ernment of the demands Of the United
States that the assailant be punished.
AS soon as he had learned of the at
tack the minister had spontaneously
sent word to Cuba" he said. that
the United States had laws rendering
virtually immune from attack the per-
sons, of foreign representatives here
and that on account Of this reciproc-
it!' the full vigor of the Cuban law
could be applied
In case of a country which does not
protect Cuban representatives, said
the minister. no further rights are ex-
tended to its diplomats than to any
o'her foreigner. He Immediately call
ed attention, he said. to this clause in
their laws.

NO SUNDAY MAIL HEREAFTER
People Seem to Think Law Co
One Although Some Object to it. -

Carrying out instructions received
several days ago from the Post Master
Generals Office no mail will be given
out at the postoffice Sunday, and the
people Of the city will from now OH
have to go without getting their Sun
cay mails. However, the new law
will not affect transit mail, and all
postage mailed on Sunday will be de-
sratched as heretofore.
The law requires that all lock boxes
be closed, but as this is not practicable
here. Postmaster Shore stated Friday
that no mail would be worked and
put up in the lock boxes Sunday, as
has been done heretofore. rhe new
law was recently passed by congress
and while there are several points
which have arisen on which the
postmaster has given out information
through the press, he has not given
out these instructions to the local
postmaster and therefore Mr.. Shore
states that the letter Of the law will be
complied with as near as practicable.
The new law will go into effect on
Sunday next, and the people Of the
city who have been accustomed to get
ting their mail out OF their boxes on
Sunday will have to go mailless on
tnat day, although. as stated, as it Is
not practicable to lock the letter
boxes. they may get mail which was
put up the night before. A number
of the local patrons have expressed
themselves as very highly pleased
witt the new law, as it gives the post
office clerks the opportunity to get
Off from work on Sunday and they do
not think it right to keep the office
open on that day. Others, however.
have stated that they will suffer con-
siderable inconvenience, as they have
been accustomed to get their mails
and go over them on Sunday. Most Of
these, though, think the law itself is
a good thing. Others, who have not
been in the habit Of getting their
Sunday mails, say that it will not
affect them in any way and they too
regard the law as a good one.
In pssing the law the postoffice en-
ployees are very much pleased as it
relieves them of great deal of Sun
day work and gives them much great
er freedom on that day. The law also
states, it is understood, that employees
must not be engaged for more than
eight hours a day, another feature
which Is very pleasing to them, as
heretofore some Of them have been
accustomed to work longer than that
in order to complete their work.
But, perhaps. the feature most
pleasing to those clerks in the local
Office who were a'cected by it, is the
fact that five of them, four office
cl rks and one carrier clerk. were
given a promotion in salary beginning
from July first. Some Of them have
been expecting this promotion for a
couple Of years and they are very
glad that it has come to them now.

THE BIG FELLOW IS VERY SIGH

San Francisco, Cal, July 17.-Doctors
in attendance on Al Kaufman. whose
bout next Friday with Charlie Miller
was called off, said yesterday that the
big fellows condition is serious and
that his temperature is 1O4 degrees.
He is said to be suffering from pneu-
mQnia. It will be several days before
the crisis in his case is passed.
Eddie Graney, the promoter, has not
decided who AIiller's opponent will be.
If satisfactory terms can be arranged
it is possible that Chas. Horn will be
signed, but there is strong probability
that this match will fall through. In
this event Graney will hold out in
ducements to Rufe Cameron, the negro
fighter from Los Angeles, who has
been anxious to try his hand at the
local heavyweights.
