REPUBLICAN CAPERS. , Effort to Form "Lily White" Party in This State. At the call of National Republican Committee-man John G Capers, erstwhile dispenser of Federal "pie" for this State, a meeting was held in Columbia Thursday.October 27, for the purpose of organizing a white Republican party in South Carolina. From a lengthy report of the meeting published in the Columbia Record we cull the following excerpts: Shortly after noon National Com! mitteeman Capers called the convention to order. Several hundred' persons.were present. Capt Capers read the call, issued by himself,upon which the body had met. He said in part: "It should be stated at the outset that this convention was not assembled at the suggestion of the administration in Washington. The fact i that we have as delegates very few, if any, Federal cffice-holders and that there will noi be an officer of this new organization from chairman down to doorkeeper who holds a Federal office,should be the t?est evidence of the fact the convention is here in answer to a call from the people of South Carolina to take advantage of the fact that there does not now exist a Republican organization in this State operating under either the State or the party law upon such matters. "This should not be taken to mean, however, that we entertain; any antagonism to our splendid national administration, or to our patriotic and wise President, but simply as an expression of our independence of Federal patronage in organizing a high class opposition party which we believe will develop so as to be representative of the: brains, culture and business inter-1 e'sts of our State." The total number of delegates present was 113.

Boys, remember we have al OMPAN -ej? tji (j< i|? r|? l|? l week. Messrs John Grant and Minton, both of whom hold responsible places with the ACL Corporation, were noted here last week. Mr Grant has taken quite a fancy to our neighborhood (?). We were delighted to see Mr Wm S Grayson from Stansbury, Va, here last week. Mr Grayson has been away for four years, but were it not for time's ruthless changing his hair to a silver gray, he looks today as young as when he was once "ye scribe" from this piace to The Record. . His home is in the Shenandoah Valley, where pellucid water percolates from the mountain top; where there is an abundance of fruit and vegetables and a salubrious climate: all of which add vieor to de clining age and conduces to longevity. Mr Pole Tyler lost a valuable little horse last week. It ate as usual the night before, but when led from the % j Star Brand r ShoesTfor ki. W * ? Laaies ana Children jrcantile Co. . J .

At last,as it appeared to get no better, Mr Tyler killed the animal to relieve its suffering. This is one of several horses dying recently that we have heard of. WES. HOMICIDE NEAR CADES. 1 \tt Negro Boy Stabs Another with Fatal Effect. Last Friday a warrant was placed in Sheriff Graham's hands for the arrest of Charlie Grant, charged with the murder of Henry or Warren Cuttino. The homicide occurred at the camp of the Atlantic Coast Corporation near Cades, on or about Friday, October 21, but no steps were taken looking to the arrest of the slayer until last Friday, when the parents of the dead boy swore' out a warrent against Charlie Grant, i Cuttino was about twelve years old, it is said, and his slaver is about, the same age. The two boys while playing began fighting, when Grant drew his knife and stabbed Cuttino to death. The youthful murderer is thought to be hiding somewhere in } Georgetown county. 0?r<c?' ? .?7 <>?< ? ?i-.n?.| C?.CH. | ^ October 27, 1910 Dear Friend: We like molasses so well at our house that Mama sent me downtown to get a jug full so big that I could hardly carry it home. . * I made an ugly face while I was carrying the molasses home, but when I had som? on my cakes for for breakfast this morning you ought to have seen me smile.
