S. <♦ July I—During the second week of South Carolina s cam paign for governor which ended at Georgetown Saturday, the honor*. Judged by the demonstrations of the crowds, were fairly even between Gov. Cole L. Hl ease and Judge Ira B. Jones To predict how a county will vote from the cheering of the crowds which gather to hear the candidates at the county seat is too hazardous a thing to do with ac curacy. The demonstrations themselves, however, may be judged with a fair de gree of certainty. Ths Jones men contend that the Blease supporters are always more demontra tive and make more noise than the Jonesites though the Utter may be In the majority. On the other hand the Blease men claim that the Jones follow ers are equally as demonstrative when they have the number to be so. Judged then from the volume of the • demonstrations, the campaign meeting Ust week shou’d be set down as fol lows: Blease days at Florence and Con wav and Jones days at Dtlltan and Mar lon with an even break at Georgetown. When the candidates were ‘ ntrod “ < T d GeorgeV’n. Governor Blease h * d best of the demonstration. This differ however, seemed evened up by the ovation in honor of Judge Jones at the close of his speech following the tag to which he was subjected by a num ber of Blease ALMOST A FIGHT. The nolriesy and teansest situation was teveloned at Florence. It was here that Judge Jones, angered at the charges o Junge jww strike Governor social equality, rose to ehair .

Variations of these themes and sallies with members of the crowd with respect to them furnish the chief new incidents of their addresses. The race for attorney general took on 4 new angle during the week. J. Fra ser Lyon, the present attorney general, turned his guns away from Barney B. Evans, one of his opponents, and direct ed them upon J. R. Earle, another. He charged that Mr. Earle, while a member of the senate, had voted to retain the * old state dispensary, and against the county dispensaries; that he had voted to limit the scope of the investigation m the dispensary graft chargee, and , bad voted against appropriating a fund to prosecute the grafters. Mr. Earle replied that he was always a prohibitionist, and that his vote against the appropriation was in the interest of economy. He critcised the attorney gen eral for saying that certain papers ac cused of graft “had been convicted at the bar of public opinion.” and for ex pending large sums of money to em ploy attorneys outside of the state.

MACON CLUBS CLASH WITH MAYOR MOORE Claim That They Have a Right to Keep Places Open on Sundays (Special Dispatch to Tne Journal.) MACON, Ga.. July 3.—The reprimand , given Police Chief Chapman in open court recently by the mayor about al lowing club rooms to remain open on Sundays, is likely to bring on a fight be tween the city officers and club room I proprietors. The club operators claim that they have a perfect right to keep their places open on Sundays for the benefit of their members, although the city officers contend that such is a vio lation of the city law. The chief has sought the advice of the city attorneys on the question, but they have made no definite decision as yet. The club proprietors allege that the state law gives them the right to keep their places open at any time in order that members can visit their lockers and drink, regardless of wheth er it is Sunday or not So far, no orders c mcerning the time of closing club rooms has been given out by the chief, but he declares if it is the decision of the legal authorities of the city, such orders will be issued and enforced. Up until the*present all clubs, both white and black, have been allowed to remain open at all times. LITTLE CHILD KILLED BY RAGING STORM (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALTON, Ga..

BALTIMORE. July 2.—What should have happened last night is confidently expected by the Wilson managers to occur on an early ballot today. Roger Sullivan is scheduled to deliver to Wil son the 58 votes of Illinois, and this break in the Clark alignment is expect ed to have a tremendous'moral effect on the entire situation besides running Wilson’s strength way up. The Illinois votes would have been cast for Wilson last night except for an unfortunate misunderstanding that resulted in ad journment. The Wilson forces divided on the vote to adjourn. Some of the uninform ed feared to continue the balloting be cause they believed that possibly Wil son would make no substantial gains and this they believed might prove se rious. These men voted for an adjourn ment The Wilson floor managers, how ever, understood that Sullivan was about to deliver Illinois and they fought an adjournment, believing that these 58 votes would have the desired effect on the situation. Notwithstanding the adjournment, the Wilson people are not discouraged this morning. The night brought thousands of telegrams to delegates who have been voting for the Jersey men and it is believed that these mes sages will have a tendency to cause a break today. The Arkansas delegation, headed by Gov.-elect Joe Robinson, re ceived a numerously signed telegram from Little Rock urging them to get behind Wilson. “The houn dog," has been caught sucking eggs and you bet ter can him,'* read the message which caused alarm and amusement among the Arkansas delegation. The Wilson people contend that the spirit of the times and the spirit of the people throughout the country make Wilson’s nomination inevitable. The people want Wilson and the delegates are beginning to realize this as they have never re alized it before. There are many Clark delegates who are red-hot for Clark, but one by one the Clark delegations are switching to Wilson, and when the time comes the Wilson people are confident that New York, with its 90 votes, will be over whelmed by the Wilson tide and the New Jersey governor will be nominated. A WILSON TIDE. With the gains which Wilson made yesterday, creating sentiment for him in addition to the natural inclination of the convention toward him, nothing ex cept poor generalship can hurt Wilson’s chances. * And so far there have been no mistakes made. Os the 445 votes which Clark had on the real test of his tentative strength yesterday, there are 161 of them which are said to favor Wilson as the nomi nee. They are recruiting from 11 states, where sentiment for Wilson has become so strong since the convention opened that telegrams in floods have been sent to the delegates. If this expected break should come, it will leave Clark with 294 votes, includ ing the 90 votes of New York. The Un derwood votes and the best part of the Harmon votes are said to be heading in the direction of Wilson, but allowing How Gov. Wilson Heard the News (By Associated ?re»s.) SEAGIRT, N. J„ July 2,—Governor Wilson was seated on the veranda of the "little white house” with Mrs. Wil son and his daughters when he received the news of his nomination from his managers. “The honor is as great as can come to any man by the nomination of a party,” he said, “especially in the circum stances. I hope I appreciate it at its true value; but just at this moment I feel the tremendous responsibility it in volves even more than I feel the honor. “I hope with all my heart that the party will never have reason to regret it” Governor Wilson was posing for a photographer with his wife and daugn ters when he was informed that Un derwood had withdrawn. "Well. I declare,” said the governor, "that will give me enough votes, if they all go to me." Mrs. Wilson, whose native state is Georgia, said: “The only thing I regret is that eGor gia did not vote for Mr. Wilson.” After the governor had finished his bath he came out to the newspaper tent on the lawn. “It has occurred to me,” he said, addressing the reporters, “that you may have wondered why I have not shown more emotion during the convention proceeding, that some of you must hive thought I felt so cocksure of the result that I took the details as a matter of fact. Nothing could be further from the truth. My emotion is so deep that it cannot effervesce; and I feel more solemn as the nomination draws closer. I feel that the delegates at Baltimore, in voting for me, are vot ing not for a man, but for a principle. I feel that they believe I represent them and not myself. Under a respon sibility so grave I could not find it in my heart to kick up my heels in ela tion." At this moment Joseph P. Tumulty, the governor’s secretary, announced the 43d ballot. “Six hundred and two for you, gov ernor,” he said. "It looks like busi ness.” The governor answered. Then he said, "Have you told Mrs. Wilson?" “No, sir; I oame first to you.” Teddy Silent (By Associated Press.) , NEWYORK, July 2.—When the news of the nomination of Governor Wilson was communicated to Theodore Roosevelt he declined to make any comment. He said, however, that he would have something to say later. NEW WATER RATES MADE FOR MACON MACON, Ga., July 3.—The question j of equalizing the water rates of Macon I has been settled. The water commis- 1 sioners at their last meeting agreed on placing the maximum rate at 20 cents per thousand gallons and the minimum ’ rate at 8 cents per thousand gallons. Several previous meetings have beei attended by numbers of the leading cit izens of the city, who demanded openly In each meeting that the rates be put on a more equal basis. When the meeting was called to order Mtrtiday night, the resolution of placing the rates according to the figures above was made, and after but little discus sion was adopted. R. S. Stevens Dead DAWSON, Ga., July 2.—The remains of Mr. Robert L. Stevens were laid to rest here today, funeral services being conducted from the Methodist church. Rev. E. F. Morgan officiating. Mr. Stevens formerly resided here, recent ly moving to Atlanta with his father. Han. O. B. Stevens. for shrinkage, it is estimated that only about 17 votes will stay with the con servatives. This will give the Ryan-Belmont- Murphy crowd 311 votes, when they need 368 to prevent Wilson from being nominated. Those in this crowd have immeasurably more resources than have the Wilson forces, but they have not popular feeling on their side. It can be seen, however, that they are too near to the 368 votes for the Wilson people to feel exactly safe. What is operating in >,ilson’s favor is the conviction which nearly every delegates is now ready to vote that the Democratic party can certainly win with Wilson es the candidate, while with another, victory is at best doubt ful. STILL UNCERTAIN. Whatever the outcome of the day’s balloting, the events yesterday served to again impress the uncertainty of the whole situation upon observers. Reli ance is not to be placed in anything that is stated as a fact, regardless of Its source. Many of the most reliable and conscientious men in the country con fidently believed that last night would tell the tale and they planned accord ingly. Today these men are not one whit less confident of the ultimate re sult of the convention, but they will not hazard a guess as to when the inevit able will occur. The Ryan-Belmont- Murphy combination was working like a band of coolies this morning to build a dam across the Democratic nomination which would stop the tidal wave to Woodrow Wilson. When this combina tion came to the convention its leaders wanted to build that dam so that Champ Clark could get through and Wilson would be jammed. Now they have de serted Clark and are Intent only on stopping Wilson. The real question upon which every one observer was digging was whether Wilson could be stopped. The opinion of a majority of those who carefully canvassed the situation was that tne New Jersey man's impetus was great, but there was a chance of Murphy's crowd being able to block him. What Ryan-Belmont-Murphy crowd was doing yesterday was to try to rally around it 368 votes, which would hold out against Wilson "until hades froze over.” These votes, which must be thrown into the breach if Wilson is ever to be stopped. The chances of Ryan-Belmont-Murphy getting these 368 are about even. It is possible, but it is not probable with the situation in its present condition. New York has its 90 votes to count on, but other members of the combine have either gone to Wilson or about to go. Wilson Is regarded as the only man who can emerge from the battle of the convention with a record which will be made stronger by his actions and by the way his forces voted on every question before the convention. It is reported that Virginia has de cided to “give Wilson its solid vote. The report is predicated upon a telegram re ceived by the delegation this morning. It was signed by (onq thousand men), and demanded that the delegation vote for the “Greatest Virginian Since Robert E. ■ Lee.” W. J. Bryan Wants Nominee Empowered To Name Committee (By Associated Frees.) BALTIMORE. July 2.—-William J. Bryan's labors at the Democratic na tional convention are near an end. The Nebraskan said this forenoon that he had no further program on the nomina tion, and beyond the submission of a proposal that the presidential nominee be permitted to appoint a campaign committee, his work was done. Mr. Bryan talked like a man who was quite satisfied with what he accomplished at the convention.* "I don’t know what they are going to do,” said Mr. Bryan. “So far as I am concerned, I have no program on the nomination, but expect to submit a resolution that the candidate name his own campaign committee. I had this in mind when 1 came here, for during my own campaigns I was continually em barrassed by having men behind me who were more interested in what was going on in the Republican party and they were in the Democratic party. “To save the embarrassment of the nominee of this convention of naming his own campaign committee by taking the matter in his own hands, I am thinking of making a proposition. PRINCIPLES FIRST. “I have said things in this convention that may have hurt, but I have felt that, no matter who a man’s personal and political friends are, the principles and honor come first. Senate Sends Its Congratulations (By Aitoclated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 2.—A1l the Dem ocratic senators on the floor, upon the receipt of the news of Woodrow Wil son's nominatlori, joined in a congratu latory message to him. The message read: "We congratulate you and the coun try upon your nomination. We are con fident of your overwhelming victory.” GIRL WAS UNMINDFUL OF PARENTS’ ANXIETY -- - V (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., July 3. —Miss Hattie Belle Speer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles O.

COLUMBUS JOYRIDERS ARE BROUGHT TO GRIEF (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

Two other machines were badly torn up in accidents, all of which seems to have been due to speeding out beyond the city limits.
