REPUBLICAN, ROW ON.

Spnrtanburg Reports Fight on Chair
man TOlbcrt Has Started.
The folloing dispatch from Spar
tanburg will be road with interest:
A Republican,, convention was held
mere today, attended by thirty-five
or forty more or less prominent lead
crs OF the party from various sections
of the state. The meeting was called
by j. ID. Adams, it was said at the re-
quest Of the national committee, for
the purpose Of discussing the condi-
don Of the party in this State. Chas
\. Harmon, State chairman for Vir-
ginia, and G. w. Bean, member of the
national committee from Florida,
were present and made speeches. They
said the national leaders were sick
Of the party organization in this
State and wanted an organization
that could command respect. l.. w.
Blalock OF Grcenvillc, was present
and made Il talk saying the curse of
the party In South Carolina in recent
years had been one-man rule, and
blamed j. w. Tolbert and his adhcr-
ents for the present condition of
things. Another meeting will be held
in Columbia on Monday, it was an
nounced, and similar meetings will be
held in the near future in other SEX
tions Of the State. 1t was announced
that the national committee had ap-
pointed j. ID. Adams as financial agent
in South Carolina, and that he alone
will be authorized to collect and dis
burSc funds during the coming cam
paiGn. There seems to be well de-
fined movement on foot, with tn
backing Of the NATIONAL committee, to
oust j. w. Tolbert. Of Greenwood
county from the State leadership.

February at Poplar Springs.

Mr. j. w. Henderson of Laurens tells
The Advertiser that February Of this
year will have i've Sundays and that
no other February since 1876 has had
so many. He relates that an evange-
list, preaching at Poplar Springs
church in that year. called attention
to the circumstance OF five Sundays
In the month and requested the men
OF the congregation to pledge them
selves not to take another drink OF
whiskey until another such February
arrived, that three men STOOD up
and that, to the best OF his knowledge
they kept the pledge. While three Is
not large number, we think II was
large enough for the Laurcns congre-
cation OF those days.
The signs arc that a great many
men will wait for another February OF
five Sundays before taking toddy
whether they stand up or not
In passing, 1t may be observed that
tho Five Sunday February Is not peou-
liar to Isaurens, however Mr.. Hcnder-
sons seems to be entitled to the credit
OF discovering, or at least, of adver-
tising 1.-THE state.

Gas Wagon Driver Mashed,

Mr.. Alscy Madden, driver of a gaso-
line wagon for the Standard Oil Com
pany, was painfully injured about the
waistinc Of the body Saturday after
noon By being crushed against his
wagon by an automobile. Mr.. Madden
was standing beside his wagon in
front OF Mr.. w. p. Hudgens shop
when q negro boy lost control OF the
automobile he was driving and drove
into him. The impact Of the blow was
so great that the wagon itself was
pushed sidewisc along tho street with
Mr.. Maddcn's body hanging between.
He was rescued by bystandcrs and
given immediate medical attention. Al
though his injuries were not fatal IL
Is thought that he will be affected by
them for some time even after he is
able to return to work.
