The Size of Scrvia.

An Atlanta, Ga, man with a
taste for geography and figures,
got busy and figured out the size Of
the little Scrvia, which Just now is
looming so large beneath the dark
clouds of war.
''Three Servias could be fitted
into the state of Georgia and still
leave enough oYcr for good. sized
front yard. Nou could PIT all of
Emperor Franz ,Iosepl's possessions
in one corner of Texas, Servia in
another, ard then have 5000 miles
of frontier between them" he
said.
But the population is something
else. Servia, a third the area OF
Georgia, has population of 5000,
600, or nearly 100000 more thar

PREDICTS VICTORY

He said his side had "em beat by
from $4,000 70 10000 votes" and
predicted his election as Senator and
Of a Blease man for Governor.
The Governor said he could tell
by tomorrow what each side had
enro!l.d.
His attack on Senator Smith for
leading Mr.. Weston as district at
torney, and his statement that Sen
ator Tillman should have had the
patronage and praise of J. William
rhurmond, whom Mr.. Tulman rec
commended, was another feature of
the Governors speech. He denied
that he was losing ground in An
lerson County and read a letter
from Josh" Ashley saying he was
stronger than ever.
Citing the Coleman incident at
Whitmire, tile Fowler incident at
Anderson and the Norwood incident
ut Greenville the Governor denoun-
ced what he said was the situation
which made it so ladies did not
want to attend some meetings for
fear of disorder. He devoted some
time to this subject and charged
that it was the work of anti-Blease
men and that no Blease men were
guilty of bringing about such con-
litions. He urged the building of
4 monument on the State House
grounds to Gen. Mart Gary and
closed by saying he was a happy
man because of the honors which
come to him. He was presented
with flowers and drew applause
from the followers.

while previous to lis death he made
his trip there, to view old scenes
and to see the few old ex-slaves ye;

He said the Governor absolutely has
no chance of election and is dead
politically, saying that in recent
meeting of some 1900 voters IN
Anderson the ''Blease men were as
scarce as they are in Edgefeld."
He was warmly applauded and
given flowers.
POLLOCK CHEERED.

an outburst of cheering and imme-
diately lit into" the Governor,
saying of him. "Ie is feather

The stand since l opened on bis
damnable record, bat is ashamed of
it and runs away" He arraigned
the Governor for his remarks about
the elimination conference to be
held Friday, saying it was Blease
who had preached factionalism
from every stump, boasted of his
political machine and held caucuses
IN the Supreme Court room and the
Governors office to which only
Blease men were admitted"
He charged the Governor with
frying to swing to the coat-tails of
J. w. Thurmond, whom he called

of attempting to get some votes by
hattering Senator Tillman, and
added, Anderson County, which
disgraced itself by giving Cole
Blease over 1000 majority two
years ago, is going with the rest Of

and the whole Ashley clan from the
face of the earth on August 25,"
which drew tremendous applause.

How Gov. Blease Treats Farm:
e-c = s.
Seneca Se5t, Farm and Factory.

~ l-s.. 4k5 (. - y: ~ .t--sE H.
Seneca Farm and Factory.
Several different reports of the
vehement conversation between Gov.
Blease and John II. Dyar at Wal
halla last week have been heard
here. A representative of this paper
was not present at the Walhalla
meeting, and Farm and Factory
carried no report of this feature of
the campaign meeting. 1t is said by
some that Gov. Blease's bitter words
to MIR. Dyar were uncalled for,
while others approve of Blease's at
tack.
The Keowee Courier of this week,
has a lengthy write-up of the Blease-
Dyar spat and that paper has the
following to say:
BIEAsE ASKS QUESTION.
''How many of you farmers got
any advance in price for your cot
ton by holding it on E. D. Smiths
advice?:" asked the governor.
II did," sal John T. Dyar, one
of the most prosperous farmers of
Oconee, wno resides in the Seneca
Newry section.
"Yes, your clothes look like you
have gotten whole lot for your
cotton" came back from the gov,
ernor.
81 got more by holding on his
advice. "
You're a nice looking something
to come up here and interrupt a
gentleman when he is speaking,
aren't you? What you want to do
is to 90 back home ard learn some
manners. You look like you need to
stand there and hold to the back of
that chair. You ought to get be-
hind it for shame at ir rtcrrupting a
gentleman. p"
Commenting edltorially on the
incident, the Courier says further:
John T. Dyar, who lives near
Seneca, is one of the best farmers
in Oconee. He has made a success
of his business; he has worked foI
and earned every dollar he owns.
He is what is known as self-made
man, and he has every reason to be
proud of the job. Gov. Blease'S
taunts and iabs at him last Thurs
dav at Walhalla were unjust ano
rncalled for. The governor asked :
simple question and Mr. Dyar gaze
a civil reply. What more could
gentleman want? Yet Mr.. Dyar go
uniind iabs and taunts that were
unjust to him and TO an Oconec au
dience. There are hundreds o
farmers in Cconee deserving th'
highest praise for their attainments
but we doubt if there is any NOR
deserving than Mr.. Dyar.

REFERENDUM VERY
 LIMITED IN CITIES
MAY BE USED ONLY IN CASES OF FRANCHISES GRANTED
 BY COUNCIL.

Little Rock, July 30.-The muni- cipal referendum act passed by the last legislature is proving to be very limited in it's powers. By strict interpretation of the laws, it appears that scarcely anything besides fran chises are referrable, and only kinds of franchises are included.
 The people of Glenwood sought to have referred an ordinance prohibit ing the erection of wooden buildings in limited district of the town, thereby establishing fire district. Attorney General Moose held that such an ordinance is not referrable, as it comes within the police power of the city. The act says:
 No order of referendum shall be allowed upon any ordinance that is for the support and maintenance of the municipal government in any of it's branches; for deficiencies in former appropriations; for the exer- else of police power; or for the i'm mediate relief of persons in distress"

CIRCUIT COURT
 COST WAS S2,000

The cost of the July term of the Faulkner circuit court was only about 2,OOO and was probably the smallest of any term ever held in the county, according to Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartje. Even this amount, he states, would have been considerably less but for the recent increase in the pay of jurors from $2 to $3 per day and the allowance of mileage to jurors.
 Mir. Hartje today filed in county court itemized lists of the circuit court expenses, amounting to total of Sl,- 83O.7O. This does not include the sheriff's costs which will bring the total to about S2,000. The compensa- tion for petit jurers was the largest item. amounting to S513SO. The grand jury cost $357.60 and witnesses before the grand jury were allowed S249.2O. The remainder was costs m criminal cases taxed against the coun- ty, the largest item being the case ot the state against George MeDanel. which was dismissed after being on the docket for several years.

D0NACHfY LAND
 NOW ON MARKET
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
 Former Governor George w. Dona- ghey is spending today in the city at tending to business matters, and while here stated that the completion of the drainage and reclamation of the large tracts of land owned by him in the Tupelo district, about 10 miles south west of Conway, is at last in sight, after being in progress for number of years. This land is regarded as being as fertile as any in the world, the soil extending to a depth which has never been ascertained and the entire tract being made" land from the sediment deposited by Tupelo bayou and overflows of the Arkansas river. MT. Donaghey, as well as other property owners in this district, has spent vast sum of money excavating drainage dit@es and clearing the land, and the work is now practically completed The proposed cOnstruc- tion of new lock by Levee District No. l at Mill Bayou will also be a great advantage to the Tupelo lands in providing an ample outlet for head waters. MT. Donaghey is now placing his lands on the market and is offering to sell it on liberal terms and in small tracts.
