adgmeat ON the result with something
mere than talk.
You are mistaken about our desire
to mortgage the third district TO MI
Dominick. but really since YOU men,
ton it hasn't the congressman been
long enough in the Aik.n family?
There is no more reason for Mr..
Peoples and Mr.. Dominick to resign,
SO ar as we can see. than there is for
Mr.. Aiken to resign and Tor Mr.. Brad
ley to get off the government pay roll
while the campaign : going on,
neitaer one of which we suggested.
We were under the impression that
a congressman had a secretary just
like the senator. But that it not ma
terial. The congressman has the
same allowance to pay for clerk hire.
Personally we think Mr. Aiken evil
denced mighty good judgment in the
selection of clerk, if that is what you
call it, and really it makes no differ
cnce whether ae remains in Washing
ton or at come. But none Of this has
anything to do With the fitness of a
man TO represent the third district.

fair. saying he had been to the
Knowlton hospital and was returning
home, walking on Marion street be-
tween Washington and Lady. In
fror+ OF the First Presbyterian
church. his statement continued, a
man with leveled revolver sprang
from the shadow OF a large tree and
called on him to hold up his hands.
He grappled with mis- assailant and
struggled for the possession OF the
weapon. which was discharged, the
bullet entering the abdomen on tle
right side four inches above the navel
and forcing an exit On the left side.
Dr.. Mcintosh .ell but drew his own
revolver and fired a number of shots,
the unknown man disappearing over
the churcnyard wall and crying with
an oath, "Now, you won't bother Collie
tomorrow.
TO tae first pers1n on the scene DR..
Mcintosh described his assailant as a
man of small plysique, weighing prob
aoly 125 pounds, wearing cloth cap
and dark shirt and evidently wearing
shoes with soft soles or rubber heels
as his footsteps were hardly audible
as he ran.
DR. Mcintosh was Immediately TAX
en- to Knowltons hospital. He de-
scribed the location of his wound as
he was taken away but did not at that
time know how many times he had
been struck A crowd had collected
in the meantime and a score o. men
took stand at the spot guarding
against trespass into tne churchyard
through which the man had fled. The
dogs had been summoned and through
the foretlought of the early arrivals
found an untramped area to explore
when they reached the scene.
The tree from behind which the
man stepped is between two lights,
one at the corner of Lady and Marion
streets and the other in front OF the
Sunday school building of the First
Presbyterian church. The physician
il returning from the hospital and
approaching the tree had to pass dl-
rectly under the light in front OF the
Sunday school building
To DR.. Lancaster DR.. Mcintosh said
that he thought ne had been followed
or shadowed recently and since he
mad been impressed with this con-
viction mad been accustomed to carry
revolver when away from his home
after midnight.
The little group of men assembled
at tae tree and the churchyard last
right remained until tidings had been
received from the hospital and then

In view of the fact that DR.. Nc
Intoshs assailant had mentioned
"Cclie," The State offered the gov
arnor, through his private secretary,
John K. Aull, the opportunity to make
a statement.
Mr.. Aull, speaking for the governor,
said:
= Gov. Blease regrets the occurrence
very much. as l do, | have very high
personal regard for Dr. Mcintosh and
know that tie governor has also. The
governors Office Will lend all possible
aid for the apprehension of the party
or parties guilty of the assault .

time, Mr. Jennings added, would soon
come when the South could look to
these to help nulli:y these amend
ments, but this could not be hoped
for if men are sent to Washington

tional administration and at logger

In concluding, Mr. Jennings said
that ii the governor should go to the
United States senate, the first resolu-
ton he would introduce would be a
measure to compel the president to
release all negroes from the federal
prisons.

Mr.. Pollock threw down tie gaunt-
let to the administration forces from
the opening sentence of his speeca.

an "E. D. Smith prolific" stalk tnat
mad been seen brought to the stand
for the senator, he said that he pre-
ferred the white bloom, the emblem
o. purity and of the Soutn's pros
perity, to the red badges This
brought NJ nrous retorts from the
audience, to which the speaker re-
piled:
1T is better than to be tagged like
you to keep from getting lost"
In the. course of his speech the gov
ernor said that $500 Blease badges
mad been distributed, while his fol-
lowers were begging for more. Mr..
Pollock predicted that there wouldn't I
be 800 on the coats, if the audience
would listen TO him.
At Greenville last Saturday, the
red-typed spread-eagled Union Re-
publican ticket of 1880, on which the
name of J. P. Gibson appeared as d
candidate for the legislature from
Marlboro county, was torn into shreds
by some political enemy. Today, when
the Cneraw candidate held up the
fragments to the crowd, one in the
audience branded the charge against
Mr.. Gibsn as "a lie"
This was the only time during the
day that there was any semblance OF
disorder beyond that of persistent
heckling of Mr.. Pollock throughout
his speech, and for a brief interval
directed against Senator Smith.
