HTA TE COMMITTEE'S WARNING. Critical Period in S. O. Democratic Party-Kult s Not Changed. Columbia, July 9.-Tho State Democratic Exocutive Cornmittco In session herc to-day issued a solemn warning to tho Democratic voters of South Carolina against insidious agencies that have boon working In the party during tho past few years, and told thom thal tho party is fac ing a crisis in South Carolina. Dur ing tho meeting of tho committee former Governor Moase, a candidate for the United States Senate, was most bitterly excoriated, as was .lohn L. McLuurin, and two resolu tions looking to their expulsion from the Democratic party were offered. Tho first resolution was by Yancy Williams, of Lancaster, former State Senator, who moved that Cole L. Mease and John L. 'MoLaurln be given live days in which to show cause boforo the committee why their names should not bo stricken from tho tickets. The second resolu tion was offered by Senator Kctchln. of Fairfield, and provided for the ap pointment of a committee of five to investigate the charges brought against Uloaso and McLaurin, and if found true, to expel them. Neither resolution was brought to a vote, the committee deciding after a lengthy discussion of tho matter to take no action savo tho issuance of a warn ing to tho votors, this warning being contained In tho speech dellvorred by Chairman John Gary Evans, which tho cornmittco ordered published. Illeaso was openly and bitterly de nounced on tho floor. Members of tho committee referred to him as a traitor and declared that ho had con nived with others to disrupt thc par ty in this State. Tho committee elected John Gary Evans as National Executive Com mitteeman to succeed thc late Sena tor Tillman and ordered a primary for tho unexpired term of United StateB Senator, to bo held tho samo day a? the primary for tho long term. Nothing was said about re-opening tho entries. Addrcas of Chairman Evans, which tho committee has requested the press of the Stato to publish as an official document from the com mittee, follows: "To tho Democracy of South Caro lina: A crisis confronts the Demo cratic party in this State heretofore unparalleled in its history. Your executive committee is powerless to deal with it, but as guardians of the party it ls our duty to call to your attention existing conditions. "At tho last Stato convention of (he party a rule was passed denying to any citizen who votod against the regular nominees of tho primary in 1916, as declared hy the State or tho county executive committee, the right to participate in Democratic, party elections subsequent thereto. At tho last general election an inde pendent movement was organized against the'nominees of your pat ty, over ?100 votes being polled at tho said election against them. These electors cannot participate in the coming primary election unless de liberately perjuring themselves. "A defeated candidato for the Uni ted States Senato, and a prominent candidate now for the same office in the approaching primary election, openly, by word of mouth, through the public press of the Stato and pri vately, advised his followers that they were not bound to support the nominees of the party in the gene ral election. The instigator of the crime, under tho written and moral law, is as guilty as tho real criminal, and his punishment should he as great. "A former office-holder in the party and now a candidate for tho highest oifice in tho gift of the peo ple, in the public press, over his own signature and on the stump, has openly charged a candidate for the '.'nitcd States Senato with conspiracy to organizo an independent move ment for the purpose of betraying, defeating and destroying the Demo cratic party of this State, and to I hat end funds to the amount of $45,000 were solicited from a for mer member of the National Repub lican committee from this State with which to accomplish their criminal purpose and to corrupt tho elector ate in this State. The sad experience of this white Republican with for mer efforts iii this line alone saved tho State from these conspirators. This candidato for the Senate admits over his own signature that the prop osition was made and considered, but denice that he was a party to a con ference with the Republican commit teemen, or that he agreed to be a party to tho conspiracy. The for mer private secretary of tho former Governor of this State now a candi date for the United States Senate, over bis own signatuer, in tho pub? ?lc press veri fl lea the essential facts, alleges the conspiracy, but claims that he declined to bo a party to it. Tho former frlond and close associ ate of this candidato, the publisher of a newspaper dovotcd to the polit ical interests of these conspirators, over his own signature, charge? that this candidate for the United States Senate was responsible for the Inde pendent movement organized by him and actually named the candidates on the ticket. "The high sheriff of the county of Greenville openly states In the pub lic press that a candidate for Gover nor in the approaching primary made a proposition to him that if he would become a candidate for Lieutenant (Jovemor at the approaching primary election and advocate the election of his candidate for (?overnor that he would furn isl) him tho sum of $2. 000, an automobile, etc. "All of these charges are support ed by the direct testimony of Indi viduals and the strongest circum stantial evidence. A candidate for tho United States Senate has openly refused to attend tho campaign meet ings in this State or to cake part therein for tne reason astsgned by him ti nt said campaign was ordered hy a partisan executive committee, refusing to recognize the authority of this new committee which has been duly elected b>\ the State and county conventions sinco his charge of fraud. This candidate still con tinues to assert and to charge that he was defeated in the election of 19 10, by fraud, although he bas never had the courage to contest or protost in thc courts or in any mannor that election. He continues his efforts to destroy the faith of tho people In thc organization of his party and to bring reproach thereon by proclaim ing himself to bo a Democrat. "Through tho unfortunate death of Senator Tillman a situation has arisen in the approaching primary election unforeseen and entirely un satisfactory to the rank and Hie of tho party In this State. "Your committee ls powerless to act in tho matter, except to refer the same to a convention of the party, to gether with tho chargos first men tioned, trusting that the people will treat the matter as lt deserves through their duly elected delegates as provided in the rules of the party, which reference the committee deems unadvisable at this time. "In this critical stage of tho af fairs of our State and nation, brought about by the war with Germany, in which the very life of our govern ment is at stake, a betrayal of tho Democratic party-the party entrust ed with the government of the State and nation-to its enemies, is treachery to tho President of the United States, who is responsible for the conduct of and the successful ter mination of the war. Such conduct is nothing short of treason to the State and nation and to our boys in France. No party can survive that quietly condones a crime on the part of its candidates, and if allowed to continue the party will soon become a stench in the nostrils of all honest citizens. You alone have the power to purge and save tho party and your remedy is nt the ballot box. "(Signed) John Gary Evans, "Chairman State Dem. Ex. Com.

Her brunette beauty was never shown to such ad vantage as In the gleaming bridal ; dress and under the fleecy veil which J fell in graceful lines to the end of j the court train. lt was a tableau wedding, arranged in front of the j dining room mantel, which seemed i to project especially for the arrange- j ment of a background for the little : rostrum upon which the couple stood. This decoration was in the hands of j Mrs. Chas. 'Minor and was composed entirely of feathery ferns, dotted j with tho dainty flower, "Queen I Anne's Lace." Included In tho tableau were "Ma tron of Honor," Mrs. Carrie McCully, j the aunt for whom the brido was j named, attired In pale gray, embroid- j ored crepe de chine; Mrs. Fretwell, j "Dame of Honor," In white crepe de chine; Miss Jesslo Browne, "Maid ? of Honor," In an exquisite creation of j pink georgette and chiffon, with hat j to match. Mr. Browne's best man j was Dillard Watson. Two sweet lit tle girls, Mary Breedln and Graco ; Phelps Sasseen, officiated as flower girl and ring bearer. Promptly at the appointed hour, 6 o'clock, the large doors between the dining room and tho tableau I were folded back, and Dr. John Foster took his place, to complete the scene, with one of the most beauti ful and impressive ceremonies ever listened to. After receiving congratulations, the bridal robes were changed to going- ' away togs. A "Kissel" (isn't .that al nice name for a honeymoon car?) ? was in walting to steal them away ! to a mountain resort. Mr. Browne is associated with his father, G. Pierce Browne, in the ' management of the Anderson Daily j Mail. Many and beautiful presents at- , tested to the popularity of this cou pie, who will be "at homo" to their friends in North Anderson after Au gust 1st.

July ll,-Threo per sons wore shot and the mall and ex press ears were looted by 13 bandits, who held up a''fast Missouri, Kansas . and Texas passenger nain early to day at Koch, a siding \ tiree miles east of this city. They compelled the engine crew to detach the mail and express cars and ran them away and then lied north In automobiles. Details of Robbery. Details of tho robbery tn which two ot' the train crew and a woman passenger wore wounded by bullets from the bandits' guns, as i-elatcd by railway employees, seem to indicate the robbers "shot up" tho train to terrorize the passengers and crew. No attempt was made to rob the passengers. The train was flagged hs it was backing from Koch siding, and the bandits swarmed about the engine, forcing tho engineer and fireman at tho point of revolvers back into the smoking car. The doors of the smoking and day coaches were locked and several of the robbers ran up and down the aisles shooting into the floor and through the roof, stray bullets from their guns striking Fireman R. E. Carter in the ankle and CT. Witcher, the train auditor, In the thigh. Oth ers of the bandits hoarded the mail and express car, uncoupled them for the rest of the train and with their own men at the engine throttle ran out to the main line and ' backed north. As they passed the standing coaches they fired into the windows and it was then that Mrs. L. D. Wil liams, of Achille, Okla., was slightly wounded. A mile north of the siding the mall and express cars were stopped and the robbers proceeded to rifle them, throwing the express safe from the car and breaking it open. They are said to have taken a quantity of reg istered mail. The sum of money taken fron, the mail bags could not be estimated. According to the ex press messenger and mall clerks, who also were forced into the smok ing car with the engine crew, there was not a large amount of money in either car. Fled in Automobiles. When the two cars had been stripped of valuables the bandits fled in motor cars, which had either been left nearby or brought up hy confed erates. Members of the train crew started for this place and found tho engine and two cars deserted. They ran back to tho coaches, coupled up the train and proceeded with the wounded to Parsons, Kans. Tho bandits are described as young men, although all wero masked. Their familiarity with the train schedule and their handling of the engine and detached cars was the feature that attracted the attention of railroad men, as it was taken to indicate at least some of them had had railroad experience.
