also an affidavit from w. r. Richey,

THE HAIL DAMAGE.

Commissioner of Agriculture Watson

and Groeschel to Rock Hill, on the
early morning train, Monday, July 20,
to offer our services in assisting the
hail stricken farmers Of York county,
this hail storm having occurred July 6.
"As soon as we arrived at Rock Hill,
we reported to c. L. Cobb, who is a
member Of the relief fund committee
appointed by Governor Blease, and also
a member Of the committee from the
Rock Hill Chamber Of Commerce. Mr..
Cobb called in John T. Roddey. the
chairman Of the Chamber Of Com
merce. and his secretary, Farm Dem
onstration Agent MCGOWAN. After
consultation it was found that there
had been about $4,000 subscribed to
this relief fund. and out Of this little
over 50 900 had already been eXpend-
ed in seed and distributed to the
farmers of that section. They reported

Farm after farm and mile upon mile

The state campaianers are to be in
Yorkville. next Thursday week.
Next Monday, August 8, at twelve
o'clock is the final limit for the en-
trance Of county candidates for pub
| lie office.
The Tirzah people will have their
annual picnic on the occasion Of the
county campaign meeting on August
Il. In addition to the campaigners
they announce as speakers Messrs
| Finley and Stevenson, Hon. John l..
McLaurin and Hon. J. K. Henry. The
Tirzah picnic is always largely attend
ed and it is expected that the occa-
sion this year will be no exception to
the general rule.
In the report Of the congressional
campaign meeting in Yorkville, last
Thursday, Mr.. Stevenson was quoted
as saying that the state convention of
two years ago would neither instruct
Cor nor endorse Mr.. Wilson for the
presidency. What he said was that
the convention would not instruct for
this candidate, but did endorse him.
The outlook is that there will be a
tremendous crowd at the annual PICNIC
at Filbert, next Friday. All the candr-
dates for state offices, United States
senate and congress, have been invit-
ed, and the understanding is that most
Of them have accepted the invitation.
We have not been advised as to the
programme; but if all the candidates
are expected to appear on the speak
ers' stand, there will not be much
more than time enough to say: Il am
glad to have the opportunity Of speak
ing to this splendid gathering Of York
county people, and l hope to be re-
membered by you on the 25th Of Au-
gust" There is much interest in the
motorcycle races, and there will be
many people who do not care much
about politics who will go to the pic
mic on account of this unusual special
attraction.
AS will be seen by the card in an
other column, the mill workers and
other laboring people Of Rock Hill, are
asking the election Of q candidate to
the general assembly. They have put
in nomination Mr.. +. Gettys Num-. a
weaver, employed in the Victoria cot
ton mill. Mr.. Num- is a young man,
without any personal political aspira-
| tions, and is really not anxious to en-
ter the list; but his fellow workers,
having selected him as their candidate,
and promised to back him to the limit,
he has decided to make the race. Dis
cussing his candidacy last night, he
| said that since he is in it, he hopes to
be elected, and if so he will do the best
he can to creditably represent not only
his fellow workers in the mills and
shops and on the farms; but the peo-
pie Of the county generally. But wheth-
er he is elected or not, he says he is
assured in advance of the accomplish
ment of the main object Of his candi-
dacy, that is, to afford his fellow work.
ers an opportunity to give full express
sion to their sentiments.

A gentleman by the name of Childs
I. D. Childs-of Chester. one of
those important kind Of fellows who IS
continually trying to get into the lime
light through the papers during cam
paigns, sent The Enquirer some polit-
ical dope recently in connection with
the asylum investigation. His osten-
sible excuse for claiming admission TO
The Enquirer was an editorial that
had appeared in this paper under the
heading of the plan Of Battle" and
he claimed that his dope" should nave
a right Of way because Of certain facts
that the public should have. We could
not see the slightest relation in any
thing that Mr. Childs had to say with
our plan Of Battle" editorial, and al
though we suspected that his main
purpose in sending his production to
us was his hope that it would get some
real importance through being refus-
ed, we returned the copy together with
a polite note to the effect that there
was no information in the communica-
ton that had not already been pub
lished in The Enquirer fully and COM
prehensively, not as political dope;
but as legitimate news Of which our
readers had a right to be informed.
The Enquirer does not stoop to the
use of garbled one-sided statements as
to anything for the purpose Of trying
to influence sentiment, much less in
matters of this kind, and it does not
propose to allow any one else to use
its columns for such a purpose-no
matter how righteous the alleged ul-
innate end may be.

The Concentration Movement

In view of the evidently pre-con-
certed editorial campaign of sent-
ment making in the daily papers inn
mediately preceding it, very few
newspaper readers probably were
surprised at the outbreak OF the
Aiken delegation calling for con-
ference of the chairmen of the anti
Rlease" delegations in the recent
state convention to meet next Friday,
for the purpose of eliminating sur
plus candidates; but just how the
thing is going to work, remains to be
seen.
II is quite possible that the recent
state convention was representative
of the majority sentiment of the
state: but any suggestion that it was
so representative in the proportion
that was indicated by the complexion
of the convention itself is simply alb
surd. The fact is that the party ma
chinery was already in the hands of
the Conservative or anti Blease fac
ton. and the other side having learn
ed by actual experience that control
of the machinery amounts to very lit
tie under a system that provides for
final expression of the will of the peo-
pie at the ballot box, did not consider
the matter worth exciting itself about.
1t is undoubtedly a fact that there
are two we'll defined parties in South
q hnt in
it's contemplated move. the Aiken del
egation loses sight of two very i'm
portant considerations. In the first
place the line Of division is not
Blease and anti-Blease, and in the
second place, probably less than IS per
cent of the people really recognize any
party alignment. OF course it is not
to be disputed that Governor Blease
is at the present time the recognized
flag bearer of one of the two parties;
but in the party he heads, there are
thousands and thousands of voters
who do not consider that either his
personality or policies so emphasized
by the Aiken delegation and opposition
candidate on the stump, have any rela-
ton whatever to the main questions
in which they are interested.
The Aiken delegation and the poll
ticians for whom it is speaking as
sumo that of the six so-called anti
Blease candidates for governor, name
" Messrs. Manning, NJ. L., and Chas.
A. Smith, Cooper Clinkscales, Brown
ing and Duncan, all are running as
party men to beat the Blease faction.
and therefore any four or five of them
whom some self-COnStituted Judge
might designate should get out of the
way To let the others win over the
opposition, and save the state" but
somehow we have very considerable
doubts about the correctness of this
view. There is hardly one man in
the whole bunch probably who wants
| to be classed with Blcase; but it is
a fact that at least two of them heSi
tated quite a while before they decid
ed that they would run as anti
BleaSiteS," instead of "Bleascites,"
and il is q fact also that at least Sev
eral of them would be very acceptable
second choices to thousands of voters
who expect to cast their ballots in tn"

PLAN OF CONCENTRATION
Anti -BIease Politicians Want to Elm
mate Surplus Candidates.


The editorial propaganda partici-
pated in by the daily papers looking
to the preparation Of the anti-admin-
istration people for an effort to con-
centrate on a single candidate against
the administration candidates has
been followed by the next step in the
programme, and it looks now as II
some definite action is to be taken In
regard to the matter.
The initiative in the new movement
comes from the Aiken county delega-
ton to the recent state convention. A
committee of that delegation has sent
out a notice to all the anti-Blease del
egations throughout the state calling
upon each Of them to select one OF
their number as chairman and send
him to a convention to be held IN CO.
lumbia on next Friday, July 81.
Following the issuance Of the Aiken
proposition. a meeting was held in CO.
lumbia last Saturday. Very few de-
tails were given out; but the Columbia
State is authority for the statement
that about twenty-five representative
South Carolinians were present The
only report Of the meeting is one CIV
en- out by DR.. George B. Cromer OF
Newberry, on the authority Of those
in attendance. This statement was
published in the Columbia State OF
Sunday morning and is as follows:
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 favor Of the
present administration will be in the
second primary, and the meeting was
called to see if some plan could be de-
vised 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 opposed the conference knew that
they had no power to eliminate any
candidate They hoped that in a con-
ference with the candidates and in q
spirit of cooperation, plan could be
devised that would enable the voters
to concentrate on two men. The can
didates 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 mistaken idea that the conference
was to be held in the interest of one OF
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 a committee OF
three was appointed to have a confer
ence with the six candidates for gov
ernOr who are regarded as opposed tC
the present administration to ask
them to cooperate with us in a spirit
of patriotism and if practicable by
elimination or otherwise. reduce their
number so as to enable the vote to De
concentrated.
The members of this conference are
not promoting the candidacy Of any
man. They see that the state is con-
fronted 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 main
tain good government
This statement is as definite a
statement as we care to publish until
after the conference between the COM
mittee and the candidates some time
next week"
