 Developments Soon

Several dates have been set by the city com missioners for hearing of arguments by counsel for the two companies on this question but the matter now appears to have been dropped.

The announcement that the National

 Turner, the well known electrical jobber,
 had secured the convention, was received
 with pleasure.
 John D. Turner. brother of Oscar Tur-

 that the meeting was to be held here.
 He said that there was no end of good in
 sight for this city by the convention.

 They were so charmed with the place that some of them sent for their people and stayed there about six weeks or longer. That is what we hope to do with some of the wealthiest men of the party which will come to out city-make 1t SC interesting and attractive for them that they will stay here several weeks. ''The convention will meet here in No vember. The electrical men have, l am lad tn d{ xftfh fhAiv meeting during the summer of a subordi- nate organization. which is entitled to 6 convention and concentrate all the ener- gies of the full membership on Birming- ham during the fall. That is a good in dication that the members of the organi. zation look with favor upon this city as a | meeting place, and that they intend to | make the meeting here during the fall 1 one of the most memorable that has evei been held. The wealth of the men who attend, their independence and their posi- tions in the electrical trade all are indi cvations that this city has won conven | tion which will be of considerable valu, | to this section.

 "I hope it is possible for us to make l 1t so attractive for the visitors that they will remain with us several days after the convention closes. This is possible for we have a decidedly more attrac- tive city than the California place where they fingered so long and where the visi- tors seemed to have such delightful time"

 John B. and S. Bethea, and will be here for several days.
 Mr. Bethea is Il prosperous farmer of
 Latta, and also owns one of the largest | stores in that place. He is familiar with | conditions in the state and believes he l speaks with authority. As basis of | his belief that Blease will be defeated MT. Bethea points to the fact that all
 the county delegations to the state con- vention, which governs the election, have l been anti Blease He says that Blease has steadily lost ground with his own l followers and continues
 When Blease ran against Ira B. Jones for governor in the last election he was | up against the poorest candidate that
 the opposition had. Jones is a mighty | poor politician and Is no match for Blease | on the stump. Even at that he only beat him by about 5000 votes out of 100000. Tn E. R.. smith, the junior senator

 T find that people outside of South Carolina arc puzzled to account for his
 strength. The fact of the matter is
 that Blease Is q demagogue of the worst type and appeals to the lowest
 class of people. He gets out on the
 stump and 'whoops 'em up and has
 won quite a following. Then, too there was crooked work done in the eIec- 1 tion.
 "A significant fact in this connection 1 is that all county delegations to the
