THE AFFAIR AT WHITMIRE.
BIease's Home Paper Censures
Governor for Personal Attack.

We were present at the Whitmlre
meeting on last Saturday when Gov
Blease spoke. We heard the tilt be-
tween Mr. William Coleman and the
Governor. We regret that it took
place. We are constrained to say
that we do not think the Governor
was justified in his attack on Mr.
Coleman. We have known MIR Cole
man for a good many years. We
know something of the work ne is
doing at Whitmire. While not a
political supporter of the Governor,
as a mark of respect to him, he
came down to the meeting to hear
him speak when he was a guest OF
the town. We do not think that a
candidate for office nor an office
seeker has right or is justified in
making personal attack on private
citizens who happen not to be po-
litical supporters of them. Mr. Cole
man is a private citizen and has a
right to his own opinions. The Gov
ernor produced no evidence that Mr.
Coleman had used any undue influ-
ence to prejudice the operatives in
his mill against the Governor. We
feel the incident was very unfor-
tunate.
From all that we have seen and
heard of Mr. Coleman and his mill he
has been kind to the employees of
the mill and has done what he could
for their comfort and betterment
and they all hold him in high esteem.
He has encouraged the building Of
a good school and the levying of
taxes to maintain it, the greater
part of which are paid by property
of the mill. He has built a fine Of
flee building and in it has provided
hall which is used by the opera
tives for lodge hall and any other
meeting which they may desire to
hold. We esteem Mr. Coleman as a
high-toned gentleman and do not
think that the Governor should have
made the attack on him which he
did, or that he was justified in do
ing it, and we regret that he did.
We can not see where it can &C.
complish any good.-Newberry Nems
and Herald.

G POPE IRBY A SUICIDE.
Was Som Of Former Senator !
M lrby Of Laurens County.

Charleston, June 4:-G Pope Irby,
son of former United States Sena.
tor John L M Irby of Laurens, COM
mitted suicide early this morning on
his farm near Mount Holly. 1S miles
from Charleston, according to the
coroner's verdict. Irby shot him.
self twice with buckshot after eat
ing breakfast and instructing his
farm hands. He is alleged to have
said the wounds were self-inhicted.
Friends are at a loss to discover a
motive and intend to investigate
further. Irby was 80 years of age
and had been at Mount Holly about
six months.
lrby managed farm one and one
half miles from Mount Holly, in
Berkeley county. He lived alone in
a house, his cooking and housekeep-
ing being done by Mary Hill, a
negro woman.
After he had eaten breakfast this
morning, he gave instructions to his
farm employees concerning some
work to be done during the day.
He is said to have retired to his
room and shot himself after closing
the door.
Hearing the shots Mary Hill ran
to the house of Lee Starnes, a neigh
Dor, and he hastened to the home.
Going into the bedroom of the house
he found Irby lying on the floor
with the lower part of his body
practically torn away. At the in
quest Starnes stated that Irby ad-
mitted to him that his wounds were
self-inhicted, but gave no reason
for his deed. He lived about ten
minutes.
1t is believed that Irby's suicide,
if it was such, might have been
prompted by financial difficulties,
although some of his friends persist
in the belief that the shooting was
accidental. For the last several

Items from SalterS.

Salters Depot, June 8:-The dry,
hot spell was broken by refreshing
showers which fell here on Satur-
day and Sunday, being of great
benefit to the crops. Oats have
about all been gathered, with pos
sibly few exceptions, and have been
good crop. Tobacco is a poor
stand and small. Cotton looks well.
The Harmony Presbyterial which
met with the ladies of Union Presby-
terian church May 29, 80 and 81, was
an occasion of great enjoyment,
very large number of delegates be-
ing in attendance from the various
churches in the Presbytery. The ad-
dresses were very fine and much en-
joyed by every one present. We had
with US DR. and Mrs Little, of our
mid-China mission, who made very
interesting addresses on our work in
China. The meeting was one OF
great importance, as was manifested
by the deep interest taken in every
session; as a result the ladies society
here has made several changes in it's
management which will be of much
benefit to the work. We all hope
that the Presbyterial will visit
Union church again before long.
The new Methodist parsonage
here is going up rapidly. and when
completed will be credit to our
town, and will be among the best in
the district.
