WYATT AIKEN IN WASHINGTON j The South CarolitiiaiiB In Washing- j ton last week wen; Bhown many utten- j lions by Wyatt Aiken, tlie nig blonde ' congressman from the Third District, j In the campaign there has been crlti- : clsm of Mr. Aiken for not having been In his office at all time? when vlsi-1 tors called. Mr. Lever on u recent visit to Anderson volunteered an ex- ; plunatlon, to the effect that Mr. Aiken j is always looking out for the comfort ; and the busln??? of visitors from ' this district and that this is a consul- j erahle Job in Itself. ThoBe who declaim that Mr. Aiken is not an influential factor in Washing- J ton evidently have never been there to j see for themselves. Mr. Aiken ls not i a conspicuous floor legislator, al- ! j though he hus made some good speech. j !?8. especially one recently upon his | hilt for farm banks or rural credits, ; hut his worth to his constituents is in j the fact that he knows more people in ' Washington than any other congress- : : man and la on frYndly terms with them. 1 One evidence of his personality ls tho way in which he secured for the An- ! demon county delegation a hearing on j a petition for the recognition of this j city as one of the places where the I government funds are deposited to fl- j nance tho cotton crop as cheaply as possible. John Skelton Williams, the! \ Prince Rupert of the administration, ? hurried from a conference at the j white house to keep the appointment | and took personal charge of the dele-: gatlon. The courtesy and frank j kindliness and the respect shown by Mr. Williams, who ls the comptroller; of the currency, in nn absolute negn lion of any accusal ion that Mr Aiken I by;.ii vote of lils has put himself out uf touch with the While lloiiso. THK KN ll Ol' AUT0CBAC1! The United States has offered its good services to bring about peace in Europe. Up to this time the proffer has been received as information. But j we look for the appearance of an other mediator unless the war ls con cluded within a fow weeks. It is a possibility that socialism will uauert itself and that monarchies will topple and that there will be a great many new republics iii Europe. It ls one possibility that after this war will come a worldwide peace. Socialists abhor war. Socialists in Europe are not the nihilists or athe ists or destructlonlst8 that we hear of, but'are peace loving, labor loving people. It ls they who suffer In war and profit not in war's fictitious out come. Most of the monarchies in Europe are really democracies. England ls ! considered by some more democratic, more of a government by the people, than is the United States. The most . nearly perfect form of government ever written waa tho constitution of the Confederate States of America, and lt is stated that it adopted many of the ideas of the English govern ment. . i Socialism, or a wish of tho people to participate in governing, may sooner or later end this war in Eu rope. This is a war of conquest, of selfishness, ot greed, snd is not1 a righteous war in which Justice, and justice alone is involved. There are now mutterings within thc body poil lie of some of triode countries, and it may be that yet the mass of people will arlee In indignation, demand that there be made an end of the butchery of human beings merely to gratify a few rulers, mad with the lust of ac quisition, erased with the greed for Individual renown. Surely a merciful Ood will show ? annie ray out of thia appalling abomi. 11. at ion. and this may be God's way to humble dynasties and to take the eeptre out ot '-he hands of princes whose blood is fevered with genera tions of degeneracy, and to placo government in the hands of the peo ple j HAS MORE THAN ONE IDEA j It was not unUl this summer that (we ever board that Dr. John Q. Minuscules had a monooly on the sentiment Ol compulsory attendance upon schools. The writer has watch f? with Interest the- patient light Thai has been waged for 10 years to gel this bill through to re lieve the poor children of poor pa rents. But while we have seen Rich > ard I. Manning and others working ' for this measure It was not until re-, cen liv that we heard ot Dr. Cllnk senies aa Its sole exponent. Some ot ' the newsapere which are supporting 1 this gentleman are rather caustic in ! their references. For Instance the Goff ney saya: - I 'li la passing strange that some . newspapers In South Carolina j should bawl compulsory edeca- . ' lion will they become sed in the face and when the oportunity presents itself to support a mun on that platform they arc? as quiet us a church mouse." And thc Spartanburg Journal says something to a like effect. in lils speech here Hr. Clilikscales had the peuple listening to au ar raignment of conditions, und lils campaign is worth a great deal to South Carolina even if lie should fail of election, for lie has donc a great amount of goud in making Hie people1 think. Hut- he rather spoiled it all ' hy stating at Lue conclusion of his ' address that thu governor could do1 nothing but recommend, ile udmit- ? ted his own estimate of his lack of < ability to get the legislature to co operate with him in the only thing ; that he presented to the people as1 tho reason why they should make1 him governor. We believe that with his tact, his ! business capacity, his training in the j handling of men and in other qualifi cations, that Richard I. Manning would do inore for promoting the1 enacting of a compulsory education1 law than Dr. Clinkscales would do. ! And Mr. Manning having a legislativo training knows the needs of thc i state in other ways/ particularly In thc mutter of finances and taxa Hon. And if the legislature should pass a statewide compulsory education law, Mr. .Manning would not veto it. A RUSH OF IMMIGRATION Senator E. D. Smith is the chair-! man of the senate committee on immi- j gration, which we believe, will be ? among the most Important in congress ' for the next few years. Senator' Smith ha? already declared that he' believe? (II having a more restricted Immigration, ami lie has never varied nom his stand, although President Wilson ls not with the committee on that point, i At the conclusion of the war in Eu- j rope, there will be a great migration to] this country, fortune hunters from all ! sections of the war smitten nations of the world. Among them may come some desirable citizens, men of educa tion and character looking for a home. But there will also come a class that will .be a banality and perhaps a curse to this country. What the Uni ted States needs now ls more of hom ogeneity in its citizenship and less of the heterogenous. It is indeed time that congress should pass some more restricted leg islation along this Une . And lt had better be done now before the matter ! is made to appear too pointed. THE PEOPLE ABE THINKING The approaching election for state and county offices will In all probabil ity be settled quietly and soberly and properly.. Inquiries made of observing men from all parts ot the county elicit one answer, "the people are not talk ing much about politics." That is a hopeful sign that there! will be no excited, unnatural going to the polls, but that the election will be conducted in a quiet, orderly man ner. .We have one wish, that the man who claims to carry so many votes In hts veBt pocket will And that this is the year when vests are not stylish In ' politics, and the people will not be dictated to by henchmen and heelers, and the men to be voted for will be the best men for the position We have heard it stated frequently that mill people can be voted in blocks, SB sheep We believe this to be an unjust reflection upon a think ing people, a good class of citizens. The mil! people are observant and chinking and honest, and if a candi date falls to get their support, it ls only because he has not approached them In the proer manner. Our country neighbors as a rule are th* beut informed people In the land and they are doing some hard think ing and little triking this year. kwhoKQw BILLS BEFORE THE SENATE Washington, Aug. 19-Diversity of views as to the exemption of labor and agricultural organisations from the operations of anti-trust lawa blocked the progr?s* or the Clayton anti-trust I bill ?In the Senate today. Thc only I vote taken resulted lu striking out tho bili as it came from tue House, the provision exempting consumers' or guiiir.ations. Senator McCumber attacked the labor and agricultural exemptions as class legislation. Senators Hollis and Hughes replied, the latter asserting that the Republican party In ila pro tective tariffs had been noted for pass ing class legislation. Senator Borah urged the folly of limiting the power of the courts to grant Injunctions In labor disputes. He ?Red the attempts made In Wast Virginia and Colorado to settle labor disputes by bloodshed instead of by the courts.. . Senator Cummins . announced he woul?" offer a substitute for the para graph exempting labor and agricultur al organizations. ? :: v .. - .., Jurors Did JNT Petition J. Wade Drake Presents a Stron . Protested Against Pardon Whil It has been a. matter nf common re port In this county tor several years that the Jury which con vir ted Allen Emerson favored capital punish ment for hiin, but thal the accused was saved from execution hy a recommen dation to mercy, and that in signing this recommendation the jurors hound themselves hy a solemn oath never to sign a petition for a ardon or a reduc tion of sentence. J. Wade Drake, son of the much loved "Uncle Tommie" Drake who was killed hy Emerson, yesterday de clared this to be a fact, as he had learned from Jurors themselves. The Jurors even went further, and a petition protesting against thu peti tion of something like 1.000 persons, for the ardon of Emerson. The | counter petition was Biglied by 4,000 persons. Mr. Drake gave the Intelli gencer the following statement bear ing on thc case. j Editor The Intelligencer: I have just learned within the ast few days that many people are under a wrong iiiiuits.-'on in regard to the parole of Allen Emerson who killed my father. A gentleman from Pelze' sayB that he got In a "fuss" because he stated himself that 12 jurors who tried Emerson did not sign the p? tition for the pardon of Emerson. Thu; gentleman says that he also made the statement at Pelzer that the 12 j jurors not only did not sign such a petition, but that on the other hand every one of them signed a petition which was presented to Governor, Bleasc not to pardon or parole Emer-j son and that when he made this state ment it was denied by a number1 ot1! people who said that he made a mis take and that the 12 jurors signed the petition for the pardon and not against lit. ; :- : . . ; . : ,< J I find also that other people are un der this wrong impression that the 12 Jurorrs signed a petition for Emer son's pardon and I therefore think it is only right and fair that I correct this as quickly as possible after it had been called to my attention. I wish to say thaterery one of the 12 Jurors signed the petition asking Gov. Blease not to pardon or parole Emerson and not a single juror signed the other petitions asking Governor Blease to pardon or parole Emerson. The petitions presented to Governor Bleaar. asking him not to interfere j with the'punishment of the man who shot down my father in his home con tained more than 4,000 names, for I counted them myself and these petit Sketch of Li (By Associated Press.) Giuseppe Melchlorre Sarto, known to the world as Pope Pius X., was elect to the Pontificate on August 4, 1903, and during his occupancy of his exalt ed office as head of the Roman Cath olic church be was confronted with some of the most momentous prob lems, religious and jovernmental, with which the Holy See hos had tu deal with In modern times Pope Plus was born on June 2, 1836 at Riese, in the Venetian prov nco, the first child of Gian-Rattlsta Sarto, a postman, and his wife Mar. gherlta. Giuseppe's early career was influenced by the village priest who took a liking for the boy, taught him to read and write and drummed into tho youthful head the rudiments of Latin. At the age of eleven years ho j entered the seminary at Caatelfrancb, tot far from his birthplace, and for four years every day. he tramped to school, usually barefooted, until he reached the outskirts of the village v/here he would slip on his shoes.to keep up appearance. From Castelfranco he. passed in 1850 to the seminary at Padua, and In 1868, at the age of 25, was ordain ed priest and took up his studies at Tombolo. In 1867 he had his first parish of importance, that of Salsano, where he remained for, .eleven years. In addition to his ecclelastical duties Father Sar ton contributed largely to the support of his mother and sisters who found life n hard struggle, es pecially In the winter. His eloquence led to bis being call ed at the age of 40 years to Tr ey is o as chancellor of the diocese, . and shortly after he was appointed profes sor of theology in the. seminary Nine yesrs of strenous work ..followed, crowned In. 1884, by his assuming the mitre as Bishop of Mantua.

"i coun ty was canvassed as were lu a bur ! ry. fcuring that the governor might j tah? action before he could see by these petitions what the people gen erally ot Anderson feuounty thought I about the justice of the sentence given the man who slew my father. The name of every Juror who tried Emerson, was on the petitions asking the governor not to interfere, for I saw them with my own eyes and K. 1*. Smith, KM|;, recently appointed solici tor of the Tenth Judicial circuit by Gov. Blease also saw them and will state to anybody who asks him. But aB conclusive that I am telling the truth. I ask every fair minded cit izen who would like to clear up this matter, to ask the Jurors themselves who tried Emerson if they did not sign the petitions against his pardon and if even one man signed the other petitions for the pardon. The names of the jurors are as follows and doubt less many of them can be reached hy telephone: i ?. E. Seybt, Anderson, S. C., fore I man. B. C. Maxwell, Anderson. Oliver Bolt, Anderson, S. C., R.

O. Pepper, Brushy Creek. S. C. Major, Anderson, S. C., R. F. D. I believe that every fair minded man in Anderson county will understand whether he be for or against Gov. Blease, that it 1B my duty in Justice to my father's memory to do all in my power to see that tho people of his na tive county know the troth and the whole truth about the killing *of my father and the paroling of his slayer and that the facts are not misunder stood by anybody. This is why here I have tried to correct the wrong im pression that the Jurors who tried Em erson favored the paroling of him by Gov. Blease. j All I ask is that anyone who doubt? my state aent be fair enough to me and my uead father to go to the trou ble of asking the Jurors themselves if I have not here given the public the exact truth. Respectfully, J. Wade Drake. fe of Pius X Leo XIIII 'conferred' upon. Bishop Sarto the title of "Roman Count", and in the consistory of June, 1893, creat ed bim cardinal, giving hun the Rom an church at San Bernado from which to take hlB title. He was so poor that he was. unable to "pay the fees connected with the acceptance of the new dignity, but some of his admirers came forward and provided him with the necessary funds. He was the.candidate of Leo XIII.as his successor, but he so little realized the future that when he left Venice, in July, '1903. for the concluve in Rome, he bought a return ticket. In the conclave the struggle was for and against Cardinal Rampoll, Leo XIII's secretary ot state, whose chances were lost when Cardinal ?Pusyy pronounced the veto of Austria against him, which veto was supposed to represent the Triple Alliance. I Then, needing a "compromise" Pope, all eyes turned to Cardinal Sarto, who at first refused, but' was after ward Induced to accept the high posi tion, being elected almost unanimous, ly on August 4. The Pontificate ' or Pope Plus X. was characterized by that spirit of modesty which never abandoned him and by that strong rellglUB feeling 'which made him choose as a motto: To restore everything to Christ." The day after bia coronation he was asked to give orders for his private apartment. He was an admirer of America and Americans and a South Carolinian, D. J. O'Connell of Fort Mill waa created I by him a bishop. The Pope instituted a number of reforms and democratic I changes In the affairs of the.church j and has been regarded as a thoroughly [ religious pontiff.
