Barnwell vol. xxv BARNWELL. S. CL, THURSDAY. MAY 30.1912 A QUEER CUSTOM ♦ BOYS AND GIRLS ARE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION LEASED FOR THE SUMMER The Animal “Market" Has Just Been Held.—The Austrian Steamer Mar ta Theresa Brought 12S Boys and SO Girls, Banging in Ages from 11 to 16 Yars„ Across the Sea. 'Til give 150 marks for him!” "I bid 175!” "Two hundred!” "Two hundred and ten!” "Two hundred and twenty-five!” The competition was keen, for the boy was a sturdy looking lad. De spite his poverty-stricken appearance, he seemed to be stronger and health ier than any of the other children. Around him swarmed a score of peas ant farmers, scanning the child as they would the points of a horse WHAT DOES HE WANT? DOES GRACE SEEK ASSURANCE OF WIDE OPEN TOWN. Blea.se Has Granted to Charleston a Local Freedom Not Enjoyed For Many Years. Mayor Grace, of Charleston, seems to feel hurt because the State Demo cratic Conventlomrefused, Jo help him rob the Democrats of Charleston of a free ballot and a fair count In the Charleston County Convention. The action of the State convention in seating the Barnwell delegation was the only fair thing It could do with the testimony submitted by both sides before It, and Mayor Grace knows It. In speaking of the action of the State Convention In siting the Barn- w'ell delegation “Common Sense,” Mayor Grace's personal organ, says: “When one has left the full impact of the steam roller It Is hard for the iqoment to be philosophical. We can speak with authority for the eighteen delegates regularly elected at our recent County Convention but un seated at Columbia, and we can say There was little sentiment in their, ^ or such Is their plight, demeanor. It was business. They 11 wa8 8 ' m Ply the machine at work were buying him, to be exact, “leas- f rom beginning to the end of the Ing” the boy. They expected to make a l onventlon.

Tom'a Cabtn,” but from the annual’ "children’s market,” "little white slave market,” some of the German radical papera term It. In the pretty town of Friederlchshaften In Bavaria. Here In this quaint little town, In sight of the Tyrolean Alps, made fam ous as the place where German's big Zeppelin airships are built, Is held the annual sale every spring o f the poor children of the Tyrolean peas ants. Orphans, half-orphans and children of poor peasants in the Aus- traln Tyrol region, who thereby prof- if a little, are turned over to the "Tyrolean Children'* Society," which In turn leases them out for the sum mer months on the German side of the border at whatever they will bring. The annual market haa Just been held. The Austrian steamer Marla Theresa brought 125 boys and thirty girls, ranging In ages from 11 to 16 years, across the Boden sea. They were quartered at the Golden Wheel Hotel, an appropriate place for this thildren s lottery. More than ouO peasant farmers from Wurtemburg, Baden, Hahenol- lern and the Bavarian region along the Boden sea were on hand to ''bid'' for these youthful wage slaves. Com-, petition was keen. The demand this year was greater than the supply and • prices considerably higher than last spring wore offered for the labor of Which Has Materially Strengthened His Chances for the Presidential Nomination. The Washington correspondent of The State says the splendid vote giv en Woodrow Wilson In Governor Har mon's home State was one of the big surprises of the pre-convention cam paign. 1 The result in Tuesday’s primary contest emphasizes the fact that Gov ernor Wilson is the only nation-wide candidate contending for the Demo cratic presidential nomination and makes more certain than ever his nomination at Baltimore. The contest In behalf of Governor Wilson in Ohio was made by his friends, who waged an uphBl fight without campaign funds. ^The re turns show that the New Jersey exe cutive carried the progressive dis tricts In the State and that while he failed of victory, he made a remark able showing as a vote getter in ev ery section of the State. To have made such a run In the home State of one of his strongest rivals for the presidential nomina tion was a remarkable achievement for Governor Wilson. Little else was discussed In Democratic circles at the capital Wednesday and on all sides it was admitted that Governor Wilson is piore strongly in the race as a re sult of Tuesday’s primary contest than at any time since the Inaugura tion of the presidential nomination campaign. Reports received at Wilson head quarters indicate that Governor Wil son has carried four congresslonial districts and he may win In three others. The Wilson campaign man agers had figured on but one dis trict. SPREAD OF REVOLT HAITIAN NEGROES INCITING CUB- .

A cablegram from Havana says while the situation arising from the racial revolutionary movement un questionably Is serious, and appar ently growing more dangerous, re ticence of the government renders Impossible a precise determination of Its gravity. The only thing abso- luely certain Is that a condition of Insurgency exists among the negroes of Mantanzac, Santa Clara, and Or- iente provinces, especially in the last named and that the government is straining every nerve to stamp out the rebellion, by the use of all the military foi.ts at it.- di-pos'il. Additional troops w ere rushed/by railroad to Oriente Thursday After noon and a force of 1,200 m^n was dispatched to that province Wednes day night.

Government Take Prompt Step* to Meet Any Uprising Among Blacks Disnatlfled With Political Status. A cablegram from Havana says there Is no room for doubt of the ex istence of a negro conspiracy extend ing to all the provinces of the island with the apparent Intention of taking up arms against the government on Tuesday last, which was the tenth an niversary of Cuban Independence. The negroes appear to have be come aroused to rebellion by the de nial of what seemk to them their just political rewards for services rendered in the %ar of Independence, in which they constituted a large part of the Cuban forces. The feel ing against the Government has been intensified by a law denying the ne groes tjie right to organize a politi cal patty. The principal trouble now is in the \i/inity of Sagua La Grajnde in Santa ^ y lara province and Cruese, where two nrmed parties are operating, and in Orlcnta province, where several bands in< eomergiDg on Guantanamo city with apparent purpose of making a display of force at that place. The rural guard dispersed one small par ty and captured two others. The situation Is considered suffi ciently grave for the government to dispatch a column of 1,200 men from Gamp Columbia, composed of cavalry and Infantry, with field and machine guns, bound for Santa Clara and Or- brnta provinces.

"Our opponents quote from a statement of mine, made In Cleve- Btiui, that the fight In Ohio, my home State, much to my gratification, would be the decisive one,” said the president In his statement, "&hd would settle the question of my nom ination. I shall have at least 17 votes from Ohio, including the dele gates at large, for we have every as surance that we shall control the State convention. This will constitute a clear ma jority In the national conventions.
