Thursday, Oct. 24, 1912. South Carolina may need a newparty, *but it does not need one headed by Theodore Roosevelt. Every Democrat should go to the polls and vote on Tuesday, November 5th. ^Be sure to vote for the congressman, as there may be a con- , test against Congressman Byrnes. , At the general election the propo- ! sition to issue a million dollars in bonds to complete the asylum plant ' will be voted on by the people. We ' are against bond issues as a rule, and 1 we advise the taxpayers to vote ' against the proposed bond issue for 1 the State. 1 And our good old friend. Col. E. H. Aull, was defeated for county su- < perintendent of education in the pri- 1 mary held last week. He was ap- ] pointed to this office some time ago 1 on the death of the incumbent and : bad made a good official. We regret that he was not elected. ; W. P. Beard says he is supporting : Blease for the United States Senate. As Mr. Beard is secretary of the new Progressive Party, it might be pertinent to inquire how he expects to go about draping the toga : around the form of his "friend" the ; i governor, as Blease is still in the : Democratic ranks and will be voted for as the Democratic nominee for governor at the approaching election. Is it not about time the governor- was repudiating Mr. Beard? The Progressive party, headed by Rnnspvplt. is organizing in i U^VUVl V . V7 - ? w _ this State, and the white men in , t ' ' charge of its organization are working hard to make a showing in the coming general election. How any , South Carolina white man can vote for Roosevelt, in the face of his past record on the race question, is a mystery to us, but there are numbers of white men in South Carolina who are going to vote for him. Let us not be indifferent. It is the duty of every Democrat to go to the polls and vote. It is not only a duty you owe to your State and cofffitry but it is a sacred duty you owe to yourselves and your children. Let it not be said of us that we. through carelessness and indifference, forgot the trying times of reconstruction and negro domination in South Carolina. , A glance at some of the leaders of the Progressive Party in this State should be sufficient for those . of us who love South Carolina. Mr. Sherwood Dunn, the organizer and main guy, is a New Yorker who has been living in. Aiken for only a few years; W. P. Beard, the secretary, was lately editor of the NewsScimitar, a Blease newspaper published at Greenwood, and a bodyguard to Governor Blease during the recent campaign; Albert Orth, one of the Charleston leaders, is editor of a German newspaper in that city and was a strong supporter of the governor during the campaign; W. Boyd Evans, of Columbia, was secretary to Governor Ellerbe and a man who has run for office repeatedly since that time, always being repudiated by South Carolina Democrats. Can a man who has the best inter ests of the state at heart follow such men? We do not see how he can. We only mention the support of Governor Blease by Beard and Orth because they were such loudmouthed partisans and because they voted for Blease in the primary and took an oath to support the nominees of the Democratic party. Are they doing it? 1 Charleston does not want hors< racing in that city interfered with and that county went for Peeples fo attorney general. Is Charleston t openly override the law of the State We hardly think such a course wil be allowed, and we have a bette opinion of the attorney general-elec than to think he will sit quiet and le Charleston do as she pleases when i comes to a violation of the ac against race track gambling. How ever, the future will show. We are very much pleased that th governor has put a stop to the prac tice of many sheriffs rushing prison ers to the penitentiary. In the firs place it creates a needless expense i: many instances when there is littl or no danger of violence to the pris oners, and then it creates a sensation for the papers, of course, print ac counts of the transfer of prisoner and allude to the danger of lynching Ko mnflp tn r>rotec OUC1 1UO CUVUIU wv Jf. their, prisoners, as it is their, ^wori duty to do, and if they cannot or wil not perform their duty they shouh resign and give way to those whu will. " Wofford College Notes. Spartanburg, Oct. 21.?Mr. Editor if you will give me a little space ii your paper I wiir try and give yoi an idea of what we are doing at dea old Wofford. As there has been s< mflch in the papers this fall abou hazing at the various colleges am of incidents where many boys wer< unmercifully treated and even a fev killed, it has become a serious mat ter with parents as to which colleg< they shall send their sons to. Wof ford has never had the name of be ing a college for hazing. Some hav* heretofore attributed this to the faci that Wofford did not have a dormitory and consequently the boys coulc not get into such groups, while others, who know the institution better said that it was because Wofford hac such gentlemanly young students that they would not lend themselves to such ungentlemanly conduct \*ow since this year Wofford has z dormitory?and let me say that il stands second to none in the State or even in the South?Wofford students have proved that the latter interpretation was right. And ever though there are four hundred anc Bighty-two students on the campus and over one hundred of these art new ones, there has been practical^ no hazing done this year. The firsl night that we collected in this hal! which bears the name of that greai and good man, Dr. James H. Carlisle, Dr. Snyder made a very force ful talk to the old students and urgec us to adopt the "student govern ment" plan. He then made a shor talk on hazing, and pointed out the utter follies of the Sophomores taking the advantage of the new mer and subjecting them to cruel treat ment. At the conclusion of his tall we unanimously adopted the plan o: "student government," and- since then have proved to the State thai there is at least one college where parents can send their sons withoui having any fear of them being mis treated. The class baseball games have jus1 come to a close, and all the classes had very good teams. For a lonj time it was difficult to say whicl class would win the trophy cup, bu the Seniors finally came out victori ous. All the classes are now bus: practicing for the football ' games Although Wofford is not allowed tc have a varsity football team there is much effort put forth in the class games, a fact which shows that Wof ford could have a strong footbal team if she was allowed to. All the students are now looking forward to the Spartanburg count: fair, which commences October 29th Although many of us are denied th( pleasure of attending the State fair we enjoy this county fair to the full est extent. A BAMBERG COUNTY STUDENT. JAIL DELIVERY IN COLLETON. Two Escape?All Doors Found Se curely Locked. Walterboro, October 22.?Sunda: night Fred Sanders and Levi Taylor * r ? G 3 : ? IWO pritsUUtJIS UUUUUtJU 111 tllC wuui; jail, escaped some time in the earl: night, leaving behind them no tract to indicate where or by what mean: they went. The manner in which this jail de livery was effected is shrouded ii mystery. The prisoners in the jai were all fed as usual by Sheriff Fo: Sunday evening about 7 o'clock ant carefully locked up for the night About midnight the sheriff wa aroused by a call from th< jail and on investigation hi was informed by the other pris oners that the above mentionet could not be found. Deputy Sherif Benton was telephoned for, and to gether they went through the jail and everything was found as it ha( been left. The only theory as to thei: escape is that they were assisted b: their friends and were provided witl duplicate keys. All the doors wer< found securely locked. No trace cai be found as to their whereabouts. 6 PEOPLE STILL WALK. 9 ??? r No Street Cars Moving in Columbia d on Account of Strike. 7 ______ 1 Columbia, Oct. 21.?The third da: r of the strike. of the motormen am t conductors of the Columbia stree I railway finds the situation unchange< t and with both sides standing firm t The striking carmen are holding ou _ for recognition by the company o the Amalgamated Association, whil< the street car company officials an e holding firmly to their refusal to rec ognize or deal with the Amalgamat L~ ed Association, while offering to dea with the local union.

Absolute quiet still prevails amone 3 the striking carmen and no disor. ders of any kind have been reported . 1 so far. The carmen have many sym3 pathizers among the people, as u t shown by many badges pinned to pe. destrians reading, "I Walk," and othi ers stating, "I Walk and Cook witl . Wood." It seems to be a waiting attitude I between the street car officials and ; the striking carmen. Both sides are ; standing firm and with no signs ol , yielding. 1 ^ Johnson Threatened Lawyer.

Mayor Harrison has taken the report of the police un} der consideration. 3 ?^ 5 Autoist's Head Nearly Cut Off. Washington, Oct. 21.?Nearly de1 capitated as the result of an automobile accident, Alexander O'Shea, ? I civil engineer, lies to-day at o loca' r hospital near death. Mr. O'Shea . who is connected with the governi ment gun proving grounds at Indiar , Head, was driving his car rapidlj - through the navy yard last night when he dashed into a rope stretchec across the road. The rope caughl him beneath the chin. That his head was not torn fron his shoulders was due to the slackness of the rope and to the quick action of a friend in the tonneau whc f sprang forward and reversed the en gine. O'Shea was hurried to the hos7 pital where 17 stitches were taken ir his throat. Later he recovered con3 sciousness but his vocal chords ap3 peared paralyzed. His Wasn't the Only One. i A candidate for congress had beer 1 making a speech in one of the towns of his district where he was not well i known personally, and in the evening ;. while waiting for a train he strayed s into a butcher's shop and, withoui e saying who he was, began to pumi 5 the butcher to find out how he stood "Did you hear that speech this af1 terncon?" he inquired, after some E genera! talk. "Yes," replied the butcher, "I was , there." i "What do you think of it?" r "Pshaw," said the honest butcher 7 "I've made a better speech than that l a hundred times, trying to sell fifteen z cents worth of soup bones." i The candidate concealed his identity. ^ fn the Bank 1 j Have you ever said, to yourself: "If I only had I A THOUSAND DOLLARS NOW."
