George R. Rembert, of Columbia, is
serving in the house as a member
from Richland county, having been
reelected last summer in the face Of
one of the hardest battles in the his
tory of this county. He is the titular
leader of the Blease forces in the low
er house.
Five of the candidates for governor:
viz: R. l. Manning, M. L. Smith, C. A.
Smith, R. A. Cooper and G. R. Rem
bert, are lawyers. John G. Richards
is farmer and John G. Clinkscales is
a professor.
Friends of Tillman.
Of the seven candidates two, John
G. Richards and R. l. Manning, are
warm friends of Senator Tillman. 1t
will be recalled that Mr.. Manning was
running for governor in 1906, the issue
that year being the abolishment of the
old State dispensary, and Mr. Manning
was advocating an amended State dis
pensary, that Senator Tillman endors-
ed him. He was in the second race, but
was defeated by NJ. F. Ansel, who ran
on the local option and anti-State dis
pensary platform. The present gov
ernor, Cole L. Blease, was also in that
race, running on the dispensary plat
form.
Mr.. Richards has long been warm
personal and political friend Of Sena-
tor Tillman and it is also recalled that
a letter printed from the senior SEN
ator after the 1910 campaign stated
that Mr.. Richards was his man.
Issues of Next Campaign.
Besides compulsory education, it ap-
pears at this rather far away time that
the issues next summer will have to
do with restricting the primary, and
whether the State legislature should
pass an act prohibiting the ordering
of whiskey for personal use under the
terms of the Webb act. The Inherit
ance tax, tax on water powers, elec-
ton of judges by the people, the ini-
tiative, referendum and recall, are all
likely to play part in the next cam
paign.
Many people expect to see John L.
McLaurin, of Bennettsville, former
United States senator and the present
member of the State senate from Marl-
boro county, in the race for governor
in 1914. This is the coming talk in
political circles and one hears it ex-
pressed every day.
1t was told to this correspondent in
the past few days that John Gary
Evans, of Spartanburg. may be in the
gubernatorial race in 1914, too. He
succeeded Senator Tillman in the gov
ernor's chair in 1895, and this political
observer suggested that for the very
reason that the mex; governor would
have good lead on any opponents for
Senator Tillman's seat just so former
Governor Evans, knowing this, might
be in the race next year.
While this is an "off' year, strictly
speaking, it is an active one for the

will do his full share. We hope that
you realize that it is not the direct
benefit that each individual receives
from the Festival that makes it a good
thing for the city, but that ii is the
one event which the entire city unites
in giving to attract the farmers and
people living in the small towns sur
rounding Richmond. No one knows
just how much of the present prosper
ity of the city is due to the previous
Festivals which have been held. but
We all know that a great amount OF
good has been done.
Think the matter over carefully and
when the committee calls on you next
Friday morning give them good lib
eral subscription. You may not get the
returns on October 1st, End and 3rd
but you will during the next year.
Remember that each member of the
committee is serving without compen-
sation and is taking his time from his
! work to call on you for your subscrip
| ton SO don't make the work any har
der for him than is absolutely neces
sary.

HERESY CHARGE IS
CAUSE OF CONTEST
Battle in the Presbyterian AS.
sembly At Atlanta Was
Resumed Today.
1National News Association)


ATLANTA, Ga, May 20.-The bat
tie over the heresy charges against
Union Theological seminary. which
was marked the first day by bitter on
slaughts upon the teachings of the
New York school as a species of Hin
doc philosophy, was on in full fury
again today at the Northern Presby-
terian assembly, and no limit was set
to the time through which it might be
waged. There was every indication
that the minority reports denouncing
the New York schools teachings
would be adopted.
As on Monday, every seat in the
main auditorium was filled and the
galleries were packed to witness the
struggle between the forces of the old
new, which was made a special order
for IL O'Clock in the forenoon.
Feeling was high. The commission
ers had been warned to conduct them
selves in a calm and prayerful spirit,
but the occasion was tense. The men
of the old school felt that the founda-
ton of the religion of their fathers
was being swept away by these new
doctrines. They were prepared TO
fight to the last ditch to prevent the
formal recognition Of union seminary
as a Presbyterian institution and the
re-establishing of close relations be-
tween the school and the church.

HER FATHER SILENT

The disappearance of Mrs. Maude
DeCamp. %, wife of Grover De Camp.
112 North Fourth street, has been re-
ported at police headquarters She
disappeared last Friday. the last seen
of her being at 3 o'clock in the after
noon when she went to the place OF
business OF her father, Seth Lucas, on
Ft. Wayne avenue. Mrs. DeCamp had
been engaged in a controversy with
her father over an estate amounting
to $1,640, left her by her mother. The
estate was in the hands of Lucas at
the time of her disappearance and she
was endeavoring to secure part of 1t
through legal process.
DeCamp is worried over the mys-
terious disappearance of his wife and
has been unable to get any trace of
her.
Two suit cases are missing from
the home, containing all of the wom-
ans clothing. AS she was in a weak
condition, DeCamp says that she could
not carry both suit cases and he
thinks some one accompanied her.
She was given $40 by her husband on
the morning of her disappearance.
but she refused to accept this at first,
her husband says, which leads him to
believe that she had no intention of
leaving home.
DeCamp, with the aid of the police,
who have the same opinions on the
matter, has made every effort TO find
her among relatives in Richmond and
other places. The young woman for.
merly lived near Williamsburg, where
her mother was burned to death last
fall when the Lucas home was de.
stroyed.

According to her husband, Mrs De

dent of the American Woolen COM

Caused Sensation.
The calling of Collins as witness
caused a sensation. Attorney Hurlbut
representing Mr.. Wood, the woolen
millionaire, objected strenuously. Col
Inns described in detail how he had
met Green the Lawrence undertaken
in a saloon on Court street, Boston. He
said Breen asked him to help him out
and Collins agreed. Then Breen gave
him $25. With Breen Collins said, he
met two men at Washington and
Franklin streets. The men gave Breer
a bundle. In Newspaper Row, Collins
said, Breen set the bundle down while

District Attorney Pelletier declared
that evidence would indicate that three
defendants conspired with John BreeI

nest r. Pitman, builder, of Andover
to plant" the dynamite for the pur
pose of prejudicing public opinion
against the striking textile workers. Il
would be shown, he said, that Atteau,

ton previous to the hiding of the ex
plosives and that they went from Bos
ton to Andover, near Lawrence, on the
night that Breen and Collins hid the
dynamite at their bidding.
He declared that the evidence would
show that in consideration of the ser
vices rendered during the strike, Woot
paid Atteaux $505 in March, 1912, ant

ised to introduce evidence indicating
that Atteaux gave money to Breen
and that Breen, in turn, gave it t.

of the annual salaries of the members
of the board. Mr.. Jessup stated that
after the election of member of the
school board in June, the treasurer of
the board would be required to pay
$275 for bond, while the other two
members would pay $91 TO" a bond
sufficient to meet the requirements of
law. The present salary of the mem
bers is 800 per year each.
Attorney Iessup stated that council
would no longer be able to secure
good business men fitted for positions
on the school board unless an increase
il salaries is granted He submitted
a bill for an ordinance increasing the
salaries and recommended that the
treasurer be paid $400 year, and the
president and secretary $500 each.
At present the treasurer of the board
is required to furnish personal bond
of $4,000, and each of the other
members provide bonds of $4,000. On

of
lion dollars for salary of S100 year.

"The salaries of these men, who
are giving their valuable time to de
wise means by which the schools of
the city may be made even better
than they are, should be sufficient to
allow them balance of 800 per year
over the cost of their bonds. What
ever arrangement may be made in
regard to salaries, the members will
still be required to advance for one
year the money required for bonds.
The bill for an ordinance which Mr.
