Columbia. Sept. 12.-General inter.
est was manifested yesterday in the
possibility of President Wilson spend
ing day in Columbia during the
week of the state fair. No definite
assurance that the president would
accept was given Senator Smith and
r.. j. Watson when they called at the

son, however, to believe that he will
as the fair will be held just at the
time that President Wilson and a
party of senator's, congressman and
other federal officials will make Il
trip To Mobile to attend the sessions

the latter part of October.
ID. r.. Eiird. secretary of the State

Efird said: The officials of the State
Fair association wish 10 go ON record

TILLMAN NOT BACKING SIMS
Withdraws support From Orange
burg Man for Marshal.

Washington. Sept. 12.-Senator Till
man has notified the department. of
Justice that his official endorsement
of J. l.. Sims, of Orangeburg, as q
Adams as United States marshal for
South Carolina, has been withdrawn.
This information was given by the
senior Senator this evening I'm response
to a question from The News and
Courier's correspondent who has OBJ
served the activity of friends of Ex-
Sheriff Buford. of Newberry County,
and asked Senator Tillman If there
was any possibility OF his withdraw
Ing the Sims endorsement. In ex-
planation OF his course. Senator Till
man remarked that some people had
been saying that he was trying to hog
both Offices, that is the district at
torneyship and the marshalship, and
be felt constrained To take this ac
ton to clarity the situation.
Senator Smith, who had not ac-
tualy endorsed Mr.. Sims. but had
agreed to acquiesce i'm his nomina-
tion. was promptly asked what posi-
tion he would take with regard to
the marshalship I'm view of Senator
Tillman's latest move. The junior
Senator replied that he had nothing
whatever To say for publications.
The Indications are that Senator
Tillman is concentrating all his forces
behind the Thurmond candidacy for
district attorney. recognizing the cact
that during the past few days Weston
has gained grounds heavily. Whether
thei ast move of the senior senator
viii result In an understanding be-
tween him and his colleague Cr only

Local officials did not know that he
was suspected of any connection

came here with warrant for him.
The prisoner was turned over to
Sheriff Rector and kept in the

EYES FILLED WITH MOLTEN
METAL.
Mr.. George Bets Was Not Destroy
ed.

Mr. George Belts was the victim of
an. unusual >iand painful accident
Tuesday afternoon while at work at
Mr.. w. G.. Persons mill on the Man
city: He was babbitin the bearings
on piece of machinery and when
the molten metal was poured into a
bearing box there was an explosion,
caused by an accumulation in the
box of water or oil. The metal was
blown into his face and eyes, caus-
ing painful. but fortunately not Sc
rious injuries, The metal entered
both eyes, forming films Of metal be.
tween the eye lids and ball, COM
pletely covering the eyes and seal
ing them hard and fast, so that his
signt was entirely obscured. At first
1t was thought that his eyes were
burned and his sight destroyed, and
he was brought to the city for treat
ment with the utmost speed At the
hospital the metal was removed
from his eyes and it was then ascer-
tained that his sight had not been de-
stroyed and he will recover without
serious impairment of vision. The
eye balls, although they had been
completely encased in the metal
films, were not seriously burned, the
moisture that is always present hav-
in's served as a protection, the thin
film of metal that had been formed
between the lids and eyeballs having
cooled so quickly that the delicate
membranes were scarcely blstered. lie
is still suffering a great deal, and his
eyeballs and face are badly swollen,
but it is hoped that he will entirely
recover within Il few weeks.
