moor, agent Of the York County Girls
Tomato club was In Yorkville last
Saturday soliciting subscriptions and

bers, the majority Of them in the east
ern part of the county but with others

she can to demonstrate picking, pre-
serving and canning Of tomatoes to
individuals and to clubs, and she
wants as many members to join the
county. club as she can get. She Will
be pleased to give any desired infor-
nation on application.

Charleston special of>August II ia
the Columbia State: A shooting affair
here this morning at the county jail
in which Assistant Jailer Clarence
Levy shot and wounded William E.
Wingate in the side, caused tremendous
excitement, because of the fact that the
two men are of warning political fac
tions, the Martin and Perry supporters
Wingate Is superintendent Of the city
chaingang guards, and Is the man who
procured for A. w. Perry the famous
bucket containing a sample Of chain
gang dinner. Mayor Grace declared to-
day that the shooting of Wingate was
a premeditated plot. Jailer Levy claims
that Wingate this morning, after an
alteration, advanced upon him with a
drawn pistol, and he shot In self-de-
fense. Wingate claims that he was
about to enter the Jail in performance
of his duties, and that he was fired
upon without notice from thejail. He
is not thought to be fatally wounded.
Sheriff Martin denies all knowledge OF
the affair beyond what Levy told him.
The assistant jailer was arrested after
the shooting and kept at the Jail un-
der guard Of policeman, since 1t was
not Practicable for him to leave at the
time. Later he was arrested on a war
rant of Magistrate Williams, charging
him with assault and battery, and held
at the Jail pending hearing. The two
men had a difficulty last night at the
campaign meeting and the shooting to-
day is believed to be the outcome.

The State has a number Of requests
for a comprehensive statement Of just
where Lieutenant Governor Chas. A.
Smith stands in the gubernatorial con-
test. 1t is said that his recent card
sheds little or no light. On the other
hand, there are those whose faith in Mr..
Smiths righteousness is great, and they
write that Smith is all right" Anoth-
er not being large ins faith, has init
mated that some time ago someone
took Mr.. Smith to the top Of a high
mountain and showed him much that
the heart of the ambitious man covets.
However that may be, very simple
solution Of all doubts would be Mr..
Smiths announcement of whom he
prefers in the gubernatorial race. When
the issues are so clearly defined there
are many thousands of persons who
believe that one occupying the position
of Mr.. Smith should be out in front,
and that not only his vote but the
weight of his influence should be cast
in the balance.-COlumbia State.
Considering the way in which Mr..
Smiths party got it into the neck from
the Columbia States party two years
ago, it looks like monumental cheek on
the part of the Columbia State to ask
Mr.. Smith to come to its assistance
now. But then nobody is going to ac-
cuse the State of lacking in cheek.

THAT ANDERSON MEETING.
Candidates for Minor Offices Spoke,
and Then a HoWIina Match.

There were between twenty-five
hundred and three thousand people at
Anderson last Saturday, and there was
lively but not very exciting time of
1t. There was no anger In the crowd.
1t was good natured rather than 9TH
erwise; but 1t was not looking for any
thing new from either Of the speak
ers, and 1t was just out for great big
time.
The meeting was held in Buena Wis.,
ia park, and all the candidates for the
minor offices were allowed to have
their say. There was nothing new.
Lyon and Evans had their usual did
and didn't over the claim of Evans
that Lyon allowed Ben Abney to take
a fee of $4,000 for merely signing a
receipt in the Richland Distilling case.
Evans cited Senator G. w. Sullivan Of
as a witness to prove his
assertion, and somebody shouted that
he would not believe Senator Sullivan.
Lyon explained that he had allowed
Jim Farnum to plead guilty and pay a
fine of $1,000 so as to give the lie to
the jury that had previously tried and
acquitted Farnum, and Evans quoted
Judge Prince Of Anderson, as having
said that If he had understood the
case better he would not have allowed
Farnum to get off so lightly.
John T. Duncan was the first speak
er and was allowed to say his say with
little interruption. He lambasted both
Jones and Blease with vigorous i'm
and charged that Jones
would assail Blease on the alleged
school book deal except for the fact
that 1t would involve Gonzales also,
and because Jones is the candidate Of
Of course his hands were tied
along that line. After Duncan sat
down Judge Jones was introduced and
then came the bowling.
The people from around the stand
and from all parts of the crowd set up
such noise that the speaker could
not to be heard. Chairman Pear
man tried to restore order; but
there was nothing doing. Mayor Hol-
leman made similar efforts with like
results. After while Governor Blease
got up and waved his hand time or
two with the result that the tumult
began to subside. Pointing to people

lieve the people Of South Carolina could
shut their eyes to such q distressing
situation; but we know Of no way to
bring the matter to their attention un-
less the newspapers Of the state see
proper to give 1t such publicity as seems
proper under the circumstances.
Cash money Is scarce at this season
Of the year. Many people who would
like to help have but little to help with;
but still number of volunteers have
come forward with liberal contributions
and we are inclined to believe that
when the people Of York county fully
grasp the situation, they are going to
make a showing in their contributions
that will do them the fullest credit.
The relief committee appointed by
Governor Blease to receive and distri-
butte contributions has been organized
as follows: G. w. Knox, chairman; A.
j. Quinn, vice-chairman, ]. A. Page,
secretary and treasurer; J. B. Robin
son, John Bank Jackson, Jas. A. Clin-
ton, w. D. Grist, all but the last named
Of Glover. Contributions may be sent
to Mr.. James A. Page. or any member
Of the committee, and all such contri-
buttons will be acknowledged through

tions received up to this time are as

STORM RELIEF FUND.

So far as The Enquirer has informa-
ton, there is nothing but the deepest
sympathy for the people who live in
the storm swept area east and west and
north and south Of Glover. Most people
know what a calamity of this kind
means to the people on which this ca
lamity has fallen and many Of them
realize too that the occasion is one that
calls for practical as well as sentiment
al sympathy.
1t is very easy to understand that the
people in the stricken territory are bad
ly in need of help. In many cases the
crops have been completely destroyed
and in not a few cases houses and barns
have been blown away. Gardens were
included in the general destruction and
even such wild fruit as there was, per-
simmons, locusts and the like were
beaten off the trees onto the ground.
There are no crops that can be planted
which will mature before winter, and
but scant employment for wage labor
Some Of the people, wage hands and
renters, have moved away and others
are moving, the reason being that both
they and their neighbors having lost
everything, they see that they cannot
hope to remain where they are without
the probability of still greater hard
ship. There are some who still intend
to stick it out, however, and others who
are practically ruined who could not go
away If they would. There are cases
for instance of widows who have small
holdings of lands, which lands are be-
inp rented. and the crODS having been
destroyed, they find themselves In debt
for fertilizers, supplies, etc, and no
prospect of having anything with which
to pay.
Some volunteer subscriptions have
been coming in from people who find
and realize the terrible distress that Is
confronting these people, and who de-
sire to give such help as they can. AL
though the aggregate loss easily runs
up into hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars, it Is probable that if the people
Of the state could be made to fully
comprehend the situation, all the loss
would be made good We do not be-

Chester, August 6: An audience of
about 125 people gathered in the audi
torium of the city hall this morning to
hear the candidates for the United
States senate, national house of repre-
sentatives and solicitor. County Chair
man John McLure Hemphill presided.
The meeting was devoid of special in
terest, except that Glenn w. Ragsdale,
candidate for congress, opened the
meeting with a prediction that a wire
would come in probably some time dur
ing the morning-which did not-from
Congressman ID. f. Finley telling how
business was OBTAINING him at Wash
ingtOn. The real reason, Mr.. Ragsdale
said lis that the music was a little too
lively for the congressman's step" He
also said something that made his au-
dience wake up little when, in refer
ring to his work in the legislature he
asserted that many of Gov. Blease's We
toes had been in good faith and for the
interest of the people. w. P. Pollock.
also candidate for congress, was the
next speaker. He was followed by W..
j. Talbert. who Is running for the sem
ate n. b. Dial, who is also out for the
senate, spoke. ]. K. Henry was the only
candidate present for the office of So
licitor, ]. Harry Foster being absent.
The meeting was indeed quiet affair,
however the candidates should feel sat-
isfied in that Chester gave them twice
the usual number they have been
speaking to.

THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

There were nearly 200 people at the
Fort Mill meeting last Saturday, and
they gave good attention to the speak
ers; but there were no developments
out of the rdinary-nothing that ap-

Today's meeting Is to be held at
Bethany; the campaigners will go to
Smyrna tomorrow, from there to Hick-
ory Grove on Thursday, to Blairsville

next Tuesday-this day week.

We are not very much impressed
with the idea Of praying for the cleo
ton of Governor Blease or Judge
Jones. 1t looks too much like asking
the Lord to take partisan hand in a
purely political fight. But against the
of praying for wisdom,
strength and grace for whoever may
be elected, we offer no objection. On
the contrary we think such prayers
are eminentlS proper.

intelligence or righteousness is not on
one side The principal difference be-

than moral and the great issue at
