OVATION GIVEN SENATOR SMITH AT CITY PARK ----------o---------- BALE OF COTTON AND SILVER PLATTER ARE GIVEN TO SENATOR SMITH. ----------o---------- ENORMOUS CROWD GIVES CANDIDATES A HEARING ----------o---------- Mr. Mooney Opens Meeting After Impressing Upon the People the Fact That Officers of the Law Are Present to Enforce Order- Senator Smith First Speaker Defends His Record in the Senate - Tells What He Has Done for the Farmers. People Cheer Him. ----------o---------- The voters of Greenville county [torn]rd the aspirants for senatorial [torn]ers here today. The meeting was [torn] to order at one o'clock this af[ter]noon by W. Mills Mooney, county [torn], who admonished the crowd [torn] each speaker a respectful hear[ing?] and warned them that he had po[torn] at hand to enforce order.

E. D. Smith, senator, offering for selection, was received with a tremendous ovation when he commenced to speak.

The senator challenged any man to improve his record in the senate, saying that, "I have improved the great superstructure of our civilization and I think I have improved the condition of the farmer."

He said he had been critisized for his seeming dereliction in not forcing the passage of the immigration bill. Senator Smith claims he is opposed to unrestricted importation of aliens into America. He believes in America for the Americans. In answer to several hecklers, Senator Smith said, "You cotton mill boys don't know Ed Smith intimately, but by the eternal God, you can't keep him from working for you."

"Why don't you raise our wages?" cried a new voice.

"I propose to keep the foreigner from coming into America and cutting your wages in two. The manufacturer will then have to raise your wages or close down this plant," was Senator Smith's answer.

Senator Smith then eloquently and elaborately explained his record in the senate and he noted of his [feat?] for the cotton interest of the South.

There was more noise by Blease hecklers, but their cries were drowned in the crashing cheers of the element in the audience opposed to the chief executives.

Senator Smith concluded his speech by predicting his reelection to the senate and crashing applause greeted his declaration.

He received a miniature cotton bale and a silver tray, the latter bearing the inscription:

"Greenville county will give you 3,000 lead over all competitors."

"You are a damn liar and a — — —." with this epithet and an unprintable oath, James W. Norwood, president of the Norwood National bank, broke into the stage during Governor Blease's speech at the city park this afternoon, put his right hand over his left breast under his coat and tried to get to the chief executive.

The incident, which looked like it would result in nothing short of a killing, was brought about from a question asked the governor by Mr. Norwood. The chief executive was well into his speech when the bank president asked him to explain the statement of Dr. James H. McIntosh, printed Thursday in the Columbia Record.

Governor Blease made the following reply to Mr. Norwood.

"When I talk about a man it is in his own town. When I get to Columbia I expect to request Dr. McIntosh to take a seat on the stand and answer him like one gentlemen another; not as a coward like you."

When the chief executive had completed his answer, Mr. Norwood broke through the gate at the head of the steps and made toward Governor Blease. Hendrix Rector, sheriff of Greenville county, several deputies and policemen rushed to Mr. Norwood and held him. It took the united efforts of seven or eight men to keep the angry man from reaching the governor, who was standing about 30 feet away on the extreme end of the stand. As soon as there looked like there would be trouble State Detective Hammond and several men got around the chief executive, to protect him if necessary.

Mr. Norwood continued to struggle at the head of the steps leading up to the stand, which was 10 or 12 feet from the ground, and it seemed for a time that he would break away from the grasp of his captors. In the meantime the mill people crowded around the stand, and, with angry shouts, tried to get to Mr. Norwood.

Eventually Mr. Norwood was shoved down into the crowd, still fighting. The howling crowd closed around him and it was difficult to ascertain what was happening the melee. However, many of the crowd pummelled Mr. Norwood over the head, and it seemed for a time that the speaking would end in a general riot. When the struggling mass had fought its [cut off]

The incident almost broke up the meeting. However, Governor Blease, after the noise had somewhat subsided, continued his speech for [the?] now characteristic remarks. Hundreds of his followers left the park with him and the speaches of L. D. Jennings and W. P. Pollack were begun. [cut off]

DEPARTMENT ACTS AGAINST ADULTERATION ----------o---------- SEVERAL OFFENDERS DETECTED, CONVICTED AND GIVEN PUNISHMENT. ----------o---------- HAVE YOU PAID FOR ANY OF THESE BEERS ----------o---------- Misbranding Seems to be a Rather Common Trick—Cheap Ingredients Not Mentioned on the Labels. ----------o---------- Washington D. C., July 18—The United States department of agriculture has just issued a number of notices of judgment against shippers of adulterated or misbranded beer, tonics and liquors in violation of the food and drugs act.

The S. Hirsch Distilling Co., doing business under the name of [Mooner?] Cordial Co., Kansas City, Mo., was charged with the inter-state shipment of a quality of so-called extra-fine Jamaica rum, described on the label as Jamaica rum. It was proved to be a mixture of Jamaica rum and neutral spirits. The court imposed a fine of $100 and costs upon the company.

An interstate shipment of beer by the Evansville Brewing association, Evansville, Ind., was alleged to be adulterated for the reason that it was brewed from barley, malt and other cereal products and not from "finest barley, malt and choicest hops," only as printed on the labels. The company pleaded guilty and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.

The Independent Brewing Co., Philadelphia, Pa., was fined $50 and costs for shipping in interstate commerce, a quantity of Majestic beer which was adulterated and misbranded. The label bore the statement, "Brewed from choice malt and hops." It was shown that in addition to malt and hops, the product contained corn flakes and was colored with caramel.

A fine of $50 was imposed upon the [Fang?] Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis. for the interstate shipment of adulturated and misbranded beer. The label indicated that the beer was brewed from "choice malt and hops," but the government showed that a cereal or cereal product had been substituted wholly or in part for malt.

M. J. Griel, a member of the firm of Griel Trading Co., Pensacola, Fla. was charged with the interstate shipment of a quantity of so-called cognac, which was labelled "Cognac [blurry] brandy proof 80 stamp E. 18184, Pensacola, Fla." Analysis showed that ti consisted in part of neutral spirits colored with caramel. A fine of $25 was imposed upon the defendent.

Other cases of fines imposed or decree of destruction entered for interstate shipment of adulterated or misbranded beverages are as follos, the product shipper, charge and sentence being named in order:

Medicinal beer, Durley Park Breery, Baltimore, Md., misbranding $10.

Malt and hop tonic, Popel-Giller Co., Warsaw, Ill., adultration and misbranding, $10.

Bohemian malt tonic, Western Brewery Co., Belleville, Ill., adulteration and misbranding and product ordered destroyed.

Ferro China antimalarico, American Union Codial Co., of Pennsylvania, Inc., Allentown, Pa., misbranding $25 and costs of $13.50.

["Sandersen" Pasaquale?] Gorguilo doing business under the name and style of P. Gorgiulo and Co., New York, N. Y., misbranding, $25. --------------------o---------------------- NEW HAVEN CASE TAKES NEW TURN ----------o---------- Washington, July 18—New Haven railroad case took a new turn today when it became known here that the state of Massachusetts may seek to intervene after government's Sherman law suit to dissolve system is brought and ask court to force the New Haven to make a conditional sale of it's Boston and Maine stock. Massachusetts in recent legislation reserved right to buy stock at any time, that gave New Haven permission to sell. New Haven directors refused to sell. Now Massachusetts fears if government wins case the court might merely order the sale of New Haven's Boston and Maine stock, without restrictions. If Massachusetts intervenes it will be merely to protect its right of purchase. Believed here today Attorney General McReynolds will not object.

MRS. CARMAN TELLS STORY FIRST TIME ----------o---------- SAYS NEWSPAPERS HAVE MISREPRESENTED HER. ----------o---------- CURIOSITY CAUSE OF TELEPHONIC DEVICE ----------o---------- Released on a Bond of Twenty Thousand Dollars She Refutes Her Story for the First Time—Newspapers Have Misrepresented—She Gives Her Movements Night of the Murder—Curiosity is the Cause of the Installation of the Telephonic Device. ----------o---------- Freeport, July 18.—Released yesterday from the county jail on a twenty thousand dollar bond, Mrs. Florence Carman, today told her story for the first time. She detailed her movements the night that Mrs. Louise Bailey was murdered in Dr. Carman's office, denounced the detective employed by the District Attorney and declare no fear of conviction, "Unless they frame me up." Mrs. Carman said it was not true that she was "insanely jealous" as the newspapers lead people to belive. She explained that she was merely curious, saying that the [blurry] of the matter was that she had been, on numerous occasions, with her husband at various affairs, and had many a good time with him. But on such occasions people would tout him about his many girls, and hint that the doctor was "a regular [illegible] il." I simply made up my mind to find out if the chat was the truth in these remarks. [faded out] to him in my presence, 'O, You have a cinch, doctor." You can go [faded out] all hours of the night or any time of the day. You have an office where no one can see what's going on, and what you are doing.' And so I put in a telephonic device." --------------------o---------------------- FALSE TEETH REVEAL SUICIDE.

Dover, Del., July 18.—Henry M. Dager, 64 years old, a farmer near here, commited suicide today. In order to make his end certain he drank the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid and then jumped into Moore's mill[yard?].

His false teeth which he had removed were found on the bank of the pond near the head gates. This was a clue to the location of the body. Dager had been melancholy [cut off] _________________________________ [column 4]

DONALDS MAY JOIN THE COUNTY OF GREENWOOD ----------o---------- People of That Section are Considering Annexing Themselves to That County—Meeting About Matter is Held at Greenwood. ----------o---------- Greenwood is surely going after the annexation of the Donalds section of Abbeville county. That would put Greenwood adjoining Anderson. The Greenwood Journal of yesterday says that necessary steps will be taken at once to call an election on the question of annexing the Donalds section of Abbeville county to Greenwood county. A committee of Donalds citizens, consisting of Messrs. W. R. Dunn, R. L. Barmore, B. W. Tribute, Brown and Killingsworth held a conference with the directors of the chamber of commerce Thursday morning with a view to working out the details of the proposition, says the Journal. A committee from the chamber of commerce consisting of president Unker and Messrs. J. H. Parks, and N. A. Craig, was appointed to cooperate with a Donalds committee and attorneys in the case.

Mr. Dunn, who was spokesman for the Donalds delegation, stated that on area of [17?] square miles he believes can be voted into Greenwood county since all the citizens in the territory named are anxious to become citizens of Greenwood. A petition, he said would be circulated at once and he felt sure that it would be signed by practically nearly every freeholder. The territory is bounded on the east by Saluda river, on the north by Anderson county line, within one half mile of Honea Path, on the west by a line about midway between Donalds and Due West and on the south by the Greenwood county line. The section is one of the best in Abbeville county and the country district is peopled almost entirely by white farmers.

The direction of the chamber of commerce endorsed the movement enthusiastically and assured the Donalds delegation that the city would render all the aid within its power. The local committee will represent Greenwood at other meetings when definite plans will made as to the survey, etc. --------------------o---------------------- LEAGUE LEADERS FOR PAST WEEK ----------o---------- Chicago, July 18.—Becker, Philadelphia, is leading the National league batters this week with an average of three forty.

PEACE BEING BROUGHT TO POOR MEXICO ----------o---------- PLANS FOR PEACE PROGRESS SMOOTHLY AND THINGS [Q?]GROW QUIET. ----------o---------- ZAPATA ASKED TO JOIN PEACE PLANS ----------o---------- President Wilson and His Advisers are Confident of Peace Now—Carbajal will Probably Resign in Favor of the Constitutionalists—Huerta has Left and the Hopes for the Settlement of all Difficulties is Strong. ----------o---------- Washington, July 18—United States officials today increased efforts to restore peace in Mexico. They were in direct communication with Carranza, urging him to proclaim a general amnesty for all political offenders. They are also in touch with Zapata, the southern rebel chief, who has been threatening Mexico City. It is hoped to bring Zapata into harmony with the peace program. This contemplates a quiet transfer of the power from Carbajal, Huerta's successor to the Constitutionalists. It was reported that Zapata demanded Carbajal's resignation in three days to prepare an advance on the capital. John R. Silliman, the president's personal envoy, is with Carranza, urging a temperate course. It is believed that Carbajal is ready to surrender the office at the earliest possible moment. It is believed he is willing to surrender unconditionally. It is declared that the commission of three to be sent to confer with the rebels, is friendly to the Constitutionalists. They will reach Guadalajara early next week.

They will probably see General Obregon first. President Wilson and cabinet members would not discuss Huerta's safe arrival at Puerto Mexico. They are confident the Mexican factions will soon reach an agreement and establish a government that will attract general recognition. --------------------o---------------------- GOVERNOR AND J. W.

PEST OF ARMY WORMS DOING MUCH DAMAGE ----------o---------- GREAT OUTBREAK THROUGHOUT THE NORTH EAST OF THE ROCKIES.. ----------o---------- FULL INFORMATION BEING DISTRIBUTED ----------o---------- Department of Agriculture Tells how to Fight this Pest—Remedies Must Be Handled With Care, as Most of Them are Poisons. ----------o---------- Washington, D. C., July 18.—Letters, telephone messages, and individual callers have been soliciting aid from the United States Department of Agriculture to stop the advance of the hordes of army worms that threaten their fields of wheat, oats, corn, timothy, blue grass, and other grasses. There seems to be a general outbreak of this pest throughout the North, east of the Rocky Mountains. These worms are emerging from eggs laid by moths that apparently swarmed up from the Southwest. Great numbers of these moths have been noticed in the vicinity of Washington during the past month, hundreds of their broken wings having been seen near the Union Station. Lawns in the capital are being overrun by this pest.

The army worm is a smooth, striped caterpillar about an inch and a quarter long and a quarter of an inch in diameter. It is rather dark in appearance. While normally it feeds by night and hides by day. The moth from which this worm hatches is brown with a white spot on the center of each fore wing. It measures about an inch and one-half from wing to wing.

If the worms have not yet attacked a field the most practical way to keep them out is to plow the [faded out] in front of them, [faded out] row in the direction toward where they are traveling. The worm will fall into the furrow and when this is full they may be killed either by [blotted] back and forth in the furrow or by destroying the worms in holes previously dug at intervals of 20 feet in the bottom of the furrow. Kerosene poured on them in the holes will destroy them.

If the worms are already in the field the following mixture which will attract the worms and destroy them should be spread about:

1 pound of Paris green (poisonous). 50 pounds of wheat bran. Juice of one-half dozen oranges. Bring this mixture to a stiff dough by the use of diluted molasses and scatter it amongst the worms. Care should be taken to keep this dough from the children or domestic animals.

Prompt action to prevent the worms from infesting a field is much better than later efforts to attempt to kill them in the grain. Once the caterpillars have infested a field, the measures necessary to destroy them may actually hurt or even destroy the crop.

The worms at first are almost always localized in some definite breeding place in the field and immediate efforts should be taken to eradicate them in these small areas before they have time to spread. The normal breeding place of the army worm is found along the edges of swamps or in spots of pasture land that has been over-fertilized. They are practically never found in swamps, because the worm needs a reasonably dry place in which to breed.

Clean cultivation, rotation of crops, cleaning up of fence corners, close pasturage, and the burning over of waste grass land in the spring or fall are good measures to prevent a recurrance of the army worm.

For small areas like lawns and private grounds, the poison bait mentioned above may be used. Equally efficient is the application of a spray of one pound arsenate of lead dissolved in 25 gallons of water. It the powdered arsenate of lead is more eaily obtainable, one pound of this may be mixed with 8 pounds of flour and dusted on the grass where the worms are feeding. It must be remembered that arsenate of lead is a deadly poison to men and animals, as well as to army worms. --------------------o---------------------- MORE ARMED TO ARKANSAS MINE ----------o---------- Fort Smith, Ark., July 18.—Preparations were made today to send more armed forces to the Prairie Creek Mines, where several hundred striking miners and mine guards fought yesterday, when the guards were routed and valuable property was destroyed. Parties were also organized to hunt the missing guards. --------------------o---------------------- OFFICAL JUDGES FOR SPANIEL
