The Press and Banner and The
Newberry Herald and News are in a
scrap as to the probable outcome Oh
the congressional race between Aiken
and D minick. The solution OF the
whole matter is vote for our good
cousin, John A. Horton, OF Belton.-
Abbeville Medium.
You are entirely mistaken. There
is no scrap. The Press and Banner
tried to make one, but we decline
e, ,erything is too lovely. The water
is fine and the prospect good. Why
should We scrap.
We must say, however, that your
good cousin" is a fine fellow, and nc
doubt makes a good banker. We met
him for the first time here on Mon
day, and we like him, but this time We
are going to elect Fred Dominick.

When Banker Norwood, OF Green
vile, took it upon himself to say that
any educated" man who is supporting
Blease is a liar and a skunk" he
made a serious tactical blunder to say
the least of it. If the bankers pru-
dence and judgment were equal to the
great material wealth that is imputed
to him, he would not have made sucn
a blunder. In the first place the state
ment is not true In the second place,
most men of sufficient reflection and
discernment to have made fair pro-
gress in moral philosophy, have
learned that the epithet is always a
dangerous weapon, for its incariable
tendency is to inf1ict more harm on the
user of it than on the individual
against whom it is directed. Then
again, the epithet is not argument
and it does not convince anybody. AS
to whether practically all Of the H.
900 people who supported Blease two
years ago are supporting him now we
dc not know; but if they are, We
dare say many of item are educated
men of character and we do not feel
that we would compliment them if we
Should say that most of them are about
as good men as is Mr.. Norwood. We
majority OF the people of South Car
olina are liars and skunks, and we
simply do not believe anything of the
kind. 1t is quite possible that this
majority is wrong in supporting the
present administration, as it may have
been supporting Tillman; but if it is
wrong it will never be convinced OF
the fact by such argument" as Mr..
Norwood is using --Yorkville En-
quirer.
That point is we'll taken. Abuse and
ugly peithets never yet convinced any
one of his error, even if he had made
an error. The people VINO are. voting
for Blease as a rule are just as true
and brave and patriotic as any citizens
who claim the name in South Carolina.
Some years ago when the call to pat
riotic service was made, they are the
people who stood behind the guns and
laid down their lives on the altar OF
their country. Without this service
the captc'rs and the colonels and the
generals could nave accomplished
nothing. Their names may never be
written high on the scroll of fame, but
the man behind the gun is really the
patriot who made tie history of this
country and will ever make it and it
is little unkind, to say the least
10 have these men denounced as
"skunks" and liars We are all
South .Carolinians and when the time

ton. Answer it honestly with your

Syracuse, N. Y, June 22.-An in

which resulted in the drowning of
twelve people in the Oswego canal last
night is being made under the direc-
ton of Coroner Moore.
There were twenty passengers on
the boat and it was reported to-day
that the craft was licensed to carry
not more than ten passengers. 1t was
raining at the time of the accident and
the canvas curtains had been pulled
down and buttoned securely, so that
the boat proved death trap for it's
passengers.
Seven children are numbered among
the victims. Three women and two
men were also drowned. Only one of
the children on the boat at the time
of the accident was saved.

Lewis Dainer, owner of the launch,
said to-day that he was not more than
fifteen feet from the bank, that there
were sufficient life preservers on the
boat to accommodate all aboard and
that all would have been saved but
the rain and the being so
dark made it impossible to see
the people struggling in the
water. Dainer said that his boat
struck some object in the water, caus-
ing the launch to overturn. He could
not say what the object was. Two of

Actual negotiations between represen-

have evolved for the solution of the

pressure had been brought to bear on

lean government. and that the media

The appeal which Is said to have

neither side will be asked to abandon

ALLEGED HARRISBURG
B|CAM|ST'S Z WIVES
MEET EACH OTHER
Mrs. R. A. Dunn No. | Once Promii-

Circles in This City
DESERTED In NEW HAVEN
Now Charges Spouse With Marry
ing Southern Woman With
out a Divorce
DESERTED in NEW HAVEN
Special to The Telegraph

Waycross, Ga, June 22.-Two wives
of r. A. Dunn, one of whom he mar
ried in Harrisburg twelve years ago.
met in the office of the sheriff here.
They had nothing to say to each other
of their marital troubles, each con-
tenting herself with a stony stare at
the other.
The prosecution was started by Mrs.
Dunn No. 1. who before her marriage
was Miss Notie Bena Leitzell, promi-
nent in Harrisburg church circles, be-
ing an active worker in Pine Street
Presbyterian Church. Her marriage
to Dunn, who at that time gave his
place of residence as Philadelphia, was
performed by the Rev. Isaac N. Bag
ley in Harrisburg, February 20, 1902.
After residing in Harrisburg for a
few months Dunn took his wife to
New Haven, Conn. About four years
later he came to Georgia, leaving his
wife behind. Mrs. Dunn asserts that
at first her husband intended her to
join him, but that later her clothes,
which she had sent to Savannah pre-
paratory to coming south, were re-
turned to New Haven with curt mes
sage that she should stay there.
Wife No. 2 before her marriage was
Miss Grace Kelly, of Savannah, where
she had lived with her husband since
their marriage.
No. Claims Love
The Savannah wife says Dunn loves
her and will return to her when he
is out of his present trouble.
II love him. too" she said, "and am
sorry he has made such a mistake. l
have no censure for him, however"
The first wife says she is afraid of
Dunn. She says she thinks if he should
meet her alone some Waycross under
taker would have to bury her.
1t is presumed that Dunn had met
and was wooing Miss Kelly at the
time he sent word to his first wife not
to come to Georgia. Their marriage,
however. was recent. Dunn recently
accepted a position with railroad at
Waycross. while his wife remained at
their Savannah home. She had no in
timation that he had ever been mar
ried before.
Dunn has refused consistently to
discuss the matter.
