CONFERENCE FOR CANDIDATES.
Anti-Adninistration Forces Try to
Get Together for Common Good.

Columbia, July 26.-About 25
South Carolinians yesterday attended
an anti-administration conference in
Columbia.
After the meeting DR.. George B.
Cromer, of Newberry, gave out the
following statement, authorized, he
said, by those present:
"The meeting was held by men
from different parts of the State,
who see that there is danger that
two of the candidates who are in ia
vor of the present administration will
be in second primary, and the meet
ing was called to see If some plan
could be devised to avert that danger.
"The six candidates for governor
who are understood to be opposed to
the administration were invited to
the conference. AS stated in the call
those who composed the conference
knew that they had no power to elm
mate any candidate. They hoped
that in a conference with the candi-
dates and in a spirit of cooperation,
a plan could be devised that would
enable the voters to concentrate on
two men. The candidates seem to
have misunderstood the purpose of
the meeting and only Mr.. Manning
and Mr.. Cooper were in the city.
Some of them seem to have the mis-
taken idea that the conference was
to be held in the interest Of one or
more of the candidates. In view Of
this misunderstanding, Mr.. Manning
and Mr.. Cooper were not asked to be
present at the meeting.
after deliberation committee of
three was appointed to have con-
ference with the six candidates for
governor who are regarded as oppos-
ed to the present administration to
ask them to cooperate with us in a
spirit of patriotism and if practical
BILE, by elimination or otherwise, re-
duce their number so as to enable
the vote to be concentrated.
"The members of this conference
are not promoting the candidacy of
any man. They see that the State is
confronted with a real danger and
they are anxious for the way to be
opened so that the candidates and
the voters may cooperate to promote
and maintain good government.
This statement is as definite a
statement as we care to publish until
after the conference between the
committee and the candidates some
time next week."
DR.. Cromer said that it had been
decided not to give out the names of
the committee of three.

A VALUABLE HEN.
Was Hatched on January 18th and
Now Has Brood Of Her Own.

Ryal Bates, the colored lamplighter
has hen that is hard to beat. She
was hatched the 18th day of last jan
uary. She began laying in June and
kept on until she had laid 13 eggs,
and then wanted to set. Her owner
set her on 13 eggs-not her own, but
some he bought-and on July 23rd
she came off with II as fine chicks
as one could wish to see, and she
mothers them beautifully. Her own
er says she is large dark brown hen,
but he does not know what breed she
is. Has anybody a hen that can
beat that record?-Newberry Obser-
yer.

ANOTHER WAR DECLARED
AUSTRIA TAKES OFFENSIVE
AGAINST SERVIA.
Action of the Austrian Government
Threatens to Involve Many
Many European Powers.

London, July 2S.-The Austro-
Hungarian government declared war
against Servia today by manifesto
which is one of the briefest of his
tory's momentous documents.
Germany paved the way for this
declaration by announcing her rejec-
tion of the British proposal to bring
four powers together in conference
for mediation. Germany explained
her ally could not be expected to SUBJ
nit her acts to an European council
as though she were one of the Bal
kan States.
This announcement preceded the
declaration of war by only two hours
and showed the harmonious working
of the partnership between the two
nations which stood firmly together
through The Bosnian crisis of 1909.
The centre of interest has shifted
sharply to St. Petersburg, which
holds the decision whether an Euro
pean war. which probably
would shift the balance of
power, if not rearrange the
entire map of Europe, is to break
out. Negotiations are afoot there
between the Russian foreign minis
ner and the Austrian ambassador,
which are designed to "localize" the
conflict.
Occupation of Belgrade.
The next news expected is the oc-
cupation of Belgrade, and that now
may be an accomplished fact. Re-
ports of encounters along the from
tier have been permitted to pass the
censor, but military experts believe
mobilization already has been effect
ed and that a campaign is under way.
There is no enthusiasm in England
for war, yet there is a general be-
lief that her obligations to the part
ners in the triple entente, and her in
terests as a great European power,
will force her to support Russia and
France in any steps they may take.
The immediate effect of the war
cloud is likely to be compromise OF
home rule, since all parties feel that
domestic dissensions must be settled
at all cost in the face of outside peril.
The fierce demands Of the conser-
vative papers for a general election
have been hushed. The foreign Of
fee has become the most important
branch of the government and no one
wants to risk the possibility OF losing
Sir Edward Grey, with his exception
al influence in the councils of Europe.
The British warships everywhere
are taking on supplies. Soon after
it became known that Austria and
Servia were at war all the officers
and sailors ashore at Portland and
Weymouth were summoned to their
ships.

B. D. Carter, the next candidate
for the house, was received with
much applause, he being on his old
stamping ground. He told Of the
time spent in Olar and of his subse-
quent struggle, single-handed, for an
education, of the success he had met
with during his professional career
and Of his belief in his ability to
serve the people. He pitched his
battle on a high plane and was for
the elimination of factional differ
ences and strife. He told of the
great awakening on the eve of which
people stood and pointed out that
a hearty response was being made
to the demands for more progressive
ideas along all lines, particularly ed
ucation. He discussed in an able
manner the problems of taxation, the
regulation of corporations and ex-
pressed the conviction that railroads
did not appreciate the share which
they had had in the prosperity of
the country. He favors a two-cent
fiat passenger rate and better service

intensely offensive local fight on Bill Elem

Dan Fogarty was announced by HardwicI1
hlnSelf as his campaign manager, and all the
papers carried the news
Nobody denied it: everybody was Glad Of
Hardwiclzs "friends" were reioced. because
they knew he would get the Roman Catholic
vote of the big cities.
The balance of us were glad because we
saw that Hardwich was stumbling headfore-
most into hole
So it came to pass, quickly, that Hardwick
denied Dan, and Dan denied Hardwick
Dan even went SO far as to deny the Pope,
repudiate Mother Church, defy the Saints,
and spill the Holy Water.
Dams sad wag: he'll be denying that he's
an freshman next.
Perhaps he meant to support Bill Fleming,
after all.
Maybe he'll help me out, in that case where
the knights Of Columbus are after me.

living monument to the truth of what Hard
wick said about himself, as to passing breezes
and trimming sails.
Although Dan has been in Atlanta, man
aging Hardwlck's campaign he actually mails
out his denials Of that fact from Augusta
He's afraid to- mail em from Atlanta, lest
somebody should believe that his prolonged
stay at the Kimball House is in the interest

his sails, never catches any passing breeze,
and never wears anybodys collar.

Hardwicx has paid special court to Champ

Champ Clark gave him the very best of

years | tried to teach this collarless little man.
When the Democrats captured the House,
and Clark became Speaker, he opened wide
the door of opportunity to Hardwick
No Georgian ever had finer chance to
blaze his way to the front, lead CALAMITY for
the common people, and write his name high
on the walls of beneficial achievement
But Hardwick did not measure up. He did
not rise to the occasion.
Hardwick's habits were not those of
student.
Those habits do not lead to mental develop
ment, sustained intellectual effort, and eIe-
walton of character.
Those habits are described in the Scriptural
book of Proverbs, and the inevitable conse-
quences are there stated, in words that are ter
r1bly true.
Instead of measuring up to the splendid
opportunities which Speaker Clark gave him,
Hardwick became the Shoofy mana term
that Clark never would have used, amid the
uproarious merriment of the floor and the
galleries, If 1t did not fit.
The big hearted Speaker took pity on the
little migrate, aoho had gone to the Baltimore
Convention to knife him.; and he applied
balm to Hardwick's wounded vanity by writ
ing the note addressed to "My dear Tom"
