STRIKERS DEFEAT GUARDS.
Pitched Battle Near Fort Smith, Ark.
Between Hundreds of Men.

6eC"een HunCTSCS OI mSH.
Fort Smith, Ark.-After pitched
battle between several hundred strik-
ing coal miners and their sympathiz-
ers and 100 guards stationed at the
Prairie Creek mines Of the Mammoth
Vein Coal Company near Fort Smith
which ended in the rout Of the
guards, tipples Of three mines were
destroyed by fire and dynamite. The
property damage is estimated at $780,.
900. So far as can be ascertained no
one was killed or seriously wounded
in the fighting, which began shortly
after day break and continued until
late in the day, when the mine guards
retreated after their ammunition was
exhausted.
Rioters held possession Of the mines
for several hours, wrecking the plants
with torch and explosives.
County officials went to the scene
late in the day, but before they ar.
rived the attacking party had dis
persed.
The rioting was a elimination OF
a series of disturbances which have
occurred at intervals since the con-
tract with the United Mine Workers
was abrogated last March and an.
nouncement made that the properties
owned by the Bache-Denman Coal
Company, but leased by the Mammoth
Vein Company would be operated on
an "open shop" basis.

GreenyiIle Man
Made For BleaSe

The tension which has held
the senatorial party all the way
in the tour through the Pied
mont broke at Greenville Satur-
day. and for a few moments at
least converted the political
camp into a surging, struggling.
bowling mob. One innocent
enough looking question was
the cause of the explosion,
which has been threatening
several days.
When the governorwas speak
ing, J. w. Norwood, president
of the Norwood National bank,
said to be the second wealthiest
bank in the State, asked the
chief xecutive:
How about DR.. McIntosh?"
The governors answer was:
When I get to Columbia [ ex
pect to request Dr. Mcintosh to
take a seat on the stand. I'll
answer that question then and
not behind his back as a coward
like YOU.
Calling the chief executive a
damned liar MIR. Norwood
swept aside the policemen stand
ing beside the little swinging
gates to the inclosed stand and
rushed toward the governor,
fighting his way against other
policemen and State detectives
who sprang between. It was
with difficulty that the infuriat-
ed man was forced backward
down the ten-foot steps, it re-
ouiring the combined efforts of
half a dozen stalwart men to
keephim from breaking through
and getting to the governor.
From all sides the audience
closed in and Mr., Norwood was
pressed back in a struggling
mass equally determined to get
into the melee. Nobody was
badly hurt, though many of
those in the miNup were struck
with fists about the face and
breast.

Gates for voting in the primary,
but he did not think it possible
for any one but Bleasite to be-
come Governor.
Another angle of attack was
+, taken on the primary rules
again today. The governor said
that in the general election the
governor appoints the commits
sioners and these in turn ap-
point the managers. According
to the new primary rules the
executive committee appoints
the managers of the primary
and the governor said that it
would b, seen to that it would
be seen to thas all these were
anti-Blease men.
Blease was given a great
broad-brimmed Panama hat,
and a wreath of beautiful flow
ers at the conclusion OF his
speech.
l.. D. Jennings was the last
speaker and devoted the major
portion of his time to a discus
sion of the governors record.
This speaker got one Of the
most attentive hearing given
during the campaign, because
of the tactful, broad minded
and reasonable manner in which
he appealed to his audience.
He told the Pickens voters
that he admired the governor
for his frankness.
You can always tell where
t h e governor stands t h e
speaker added, but [ don't
agree with him as to his ideas
of government. - In discussing
the governors pardon record,
Mr.. Jennings said that he be-,
lieved that the judge who heard
all the testimony knew more
about the justice of the sentence
imposed than the governor, GER
tainly more than those who
sign petitions promiscuousIy,
without any knowledge as to the
merits of the particular case.
''Tf Won believe that the time
has come when our jury system
has become antiQuated, then it
is YOUR duty to vote for the gov
ernor," the speaker added. !.
What will be the result of
this method. if continued four
more years2' the speaker asked.
rs a mans life safe now!
Is your property safe? Is a wo-
mans virtue protected under
the present system?'' These
were some of the questions
which the speaker put to his
hearers.
In defending the new primary
rules, Mr.. Jennings asked how
the governors friends We're to
be disfranchised, as the chief
executive had charged, if all his
friends had enrolled, as the gov.
ernor claimed.
Mr.. Jennings urged all the
citizens to get together for the
good of South Carolina, saying
| he wanted it understood that he
was on the side of law. order
and decency.
