THE ELECTION NEWS
' ?
VrAS SECURED BY THE TIMES
AN? DEMOCRAT
l\vshs.siveiy From ..the' Western Union
' ^elejgrai)b*Comp?nyvand Given to
' ?n*s Public Entirely Free;
The Times arid Democrat ,went to
considerable expense tp; get the news
ot the election for the benefit ol
the pubjlc: *?The Beil f Telephone
Corapany very kindly furnished bui
te&as free, and we could have used
thin service without paying one cent
for it.' but .it was not as ? full as we
.wanted to give the public, so we
made arrangements with Mr. W. K.
Sease, th?e> courteous and efficient
manager of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, for the1 full elec
tion news bulletins sent out by this
company all over the United States
on the. night of the election.
The bulletins were received and
rcai in the court house to those
prba had assembled there to hear
how the election had gone." The
Sine service we gave cost The Times
and Democrat considerable money,
feat we do not think anything is too
algh or too good for our patrons
i hat we can afford to buy. It En
abled us to give in this issue a full
report of the election, which will be
ihe first definite news of the great
rroa that many people will get.
The news began to arrive about eight
o'clock and continued to come in for
several hours. ..
The Times and Democrat proposes
to stay in the forefront of enterprise,
and our readers can always depend
?n getting the very be3t service th.it
jitb can get on these occasions.. The
entire expense of the service is
ijonrne by The Times and Democrat
alone, and we had the exclusive use
of the bulletins In this city. They
are recognized as the best and most
accurate short reports of the ^Nat
ional elections, and are read with
interest by all who have access to
them. Mr. L. H. Wannamaker, Jr ,
kindly asisted us in presenting th_*
news as it came In to the crowd at
?ha court house
Town Busters.
The men who do a town more
harm than good may be classed as
follows: First, those who oppose
improvement Second, those' who
run It down to strangers. Third,
those who never advertise their bus
aaess. Fourth, those who distrust
public-spirited men. Fifth, those
who show no hospitality to any one.
Sixth, those who hate to see others
make money. Seventh, those who
oppose every movement that doesn't
originate with themselves. Eigh'h,
those who put on long faces wheu a
stranger speaks of locating in their
town. Ninth, those who oppose ev
ery public enterprise, which does not
appear of personal benefit to them
selves.
Hens Gone Dry.
The Emporia Gazette says all the
iown hens have gone dry, and are
laying no eggs, now that eggs are
worth monej. It is always the way
with town hens. They are ahsurdly
industrious, and go around laying
all sorts of plain and fancy eggs,
when hen fruit is so plentiful tnat
you can't give it away to a charity
organization, but when the price
goes up and eggs would be worth
while, the fool critters spend their
time shedding their feathers. Ono
net of feathers ought to last a hen
B lifetime; just think of the time
wasted every fall getting rid of old
leathers and growing new ones, and
nothing doing in the egg depart
ment! There ought to bo a law. *
Said to Be Crazy.
Garfield Summers, who a short
time ago attempted to kill his wife
in the Fork, is said to he crazy.
It will be remembered that several
months ago Summers was chopped
in the head with au axe by his wife
while ho slept. This wound affected
his' brain, and it is said he is cow
irresponsible and will be taken to
the asylum. . If this i& a. trim state
of affairs Summers should be looked
after,".of ho may do injury to other
people.
An Eloquent Preacher.
The Rev. George E. Davis, of Clif
ton Forgo. Va., occupied the pulpit

eity and officiate at the services in
the same church on next Sunday.
The Baptist congregation has not
yet called a minister to succeed the
Rev. E. M. Llghtfoot, who has gone
to North Augusta.

GIVE THIS A TRIAL.
Hon. Sarai. Dibble Tells of a Remedy
for Diptheria.
The Hon. Saml. Dibble writes
this to the Southern Christian Advo
cat-e:
"I visited Dorchester county last
week and in the section where I
happened to be I foutfd some anxi
ety about the prevalence of dipthe
rla. I mentioned a sure and true
preventive of this dreadful disease,
arid wish to give it to your readers,
in the interest of humanity. It L
simply old fashioned black gunpow
der placed cn the tongue daily ?
about as much as the blade of a
penknife or the handle of a teaspoon
will hold.. About fifty or sixty years
ago, in my youth, Rev. J. T. Wight
man was pastor of Trinity Methodist
;Church in Charleston, of which I was
a member. The diptheria was epi
demic in the city and in the resi
dences on both sides of the parson
age there were cases in the two
families. Rev.^Johu T. Wightraan
every morning assenibled his wife
and children, gave them the gun
powder on the tongue, and took it
himself. In discha- ,e of his pasto
ral' duties he visited daily members
of his congregation stricken with
diptheria in all stages of the dis
ease. He did not take it, nor did anv
member of his family. In the winter
of 1901, seven years ago, I was in
a hospital in Baltimore, where the
venerable Rev. Dr. Wightman resid
ed after long service (in the ministry,
and learning of my being in the citv,
visited me frequently. One day in
conversation I spoke of the circum
stances mentioned above ,and he not
only confirmed my statement, but
remarked that In his pastoral career,
he had tested the value of his pre
ventive . frequently and had given
the information to others, and in
no instance had he ever known i?
to fail. It is perfectly harmless,
being a simple mixture of sulphur,
willow charcoal and saltpeter. It
is worth the trial. *

"Avoirdupois Party."
An exchange says they have in
vented a new kind of social amuse
ment. It is called an "avoirdupois
party." All the girls are weighed,
and the weight of each is written on
a piece of paper and put into a hat
and the young men must draw. The.
young man must go to supper with
the girl whose weight he draws, and
must pay for her supper at one-half
cent per pound, it is very exciting,
so far as the young men are con
cerned.

SENATOR TILLMAN IN COLUMBIA
I -
He Is Looking Well and Is Greeted
by Friends.
In the best of health, after several
months' tour of England and Europe
accompanied by Mrs. Tillman and Dr.
Babcock, Senator Tillman is a visitor
to Columbia enjoying the reception
accorded him by friends on every
side. Always interesting, both in
manner and conversation, the senior
senator Is considered a valuable
"find" by newspaper men the coun
try over, and when he visits the
capital city of this State, he is sought
after with no little pleasure and an
ticipation of something worth print
ing. Senator Tillman was "at
home" to two local newspaper men
at the residence of his friend, Dr.
Babcock, at the State Hospital for
the Insane.
In the parlor, with its furnishings
of antique design, the senator seated
himself in the inviting depths of u
massive couch and related many Inci
dents of his tour abroad. He dis
cussed neither the politics or policies
of foreign governments, which show
ed that he kept inviolate his decision
made prior to his departure that he
would let severely alone all matters
of national or international moment,
and devote his time to recuperation
and taking advantage of foreign
sights and scenes. He traveled as
any other citizen, laying aside his
senatorial toga, and spent the months
in enjoying whatever came his way.
"Yes. my health was pretty bad
after that strenuous period of con
gressional activities." he said, "and
my nerves Were almost a wreck.
Crossed wires, one nlight say. But
thanks to the care of Mrs. Tillman
and Dr. Babcock, I am myself again.
"I never noticed any Intoxicated
citizens while abroad, even in those
countries where beer and wines are
the national beverages. The people
seem to drink in a rational sort of
way and over indulgence seems to he
an exception."
This was about as near as the sen
ator would commit himself to a dis
cusion of prohibition, though he did
venture an opinion that he believed
that if the sale of beer in a State
were given over to one large brewery
under a high license, it might prove
an ideal method for a State to settle
that feature of the problem of the
sale of one of the alcoholic bever
ages.
MILLS OF THE "WORLD
Would Cease Running Wore it Not
For Our Cotton.
During the twelve months ending
September 30, 1908, there was con
sumed by the mills of the world 14,
309,000 bales of cotton, each weigh
ing 500 pounds. Tills year prior
or rather for the year ending Sep
tember 1, 1907, the world's con
sumption of lint cotton was 19,500,
000 bales. This shows a startling
difference in the two years' con
sumption and the difference is ac
centuated when.'tis remembered the
United States census bureau esti
mated, August 31, 1907, that the de
mand for cotton during the year fol
lowing would be 20,000 bales. In
deed the increase in spindles sug
gests the consumption of 500,OOu
bales additional cotton annually.
The panic would have caused a
curtailment of consumption had
tncre been no other reason for re
ducing the output of mills at home
and abroad, but in this case curtail
ing was inevitable because there was
produced within the world 15,500,
000 bales only, nearly 11,000,000
bales having been grown in the
United States. Of the 14,307,000
bales consumed during the year end
ing September 30, 12,117,000 bales
was American cotton. These few
facts constantly homo in mind will
aid the Southern man to understand
the absolute need of American cotton
by the mills of America, England
and the continent of Europe; in fact,
without the cotton of Dixie the millo
/must close down and in Lancashire
hundreds of thousands of innocnet
people would be compelled to accept
the kind offering of charity. During
the civil war 250,000 people in that
great spinning center were fed bv
the spoon of charity because the
Southern planter could not fight and
grow cotton at the same time and
because the ports of the South were
pretty effectually blocked. What
happened then was a mere bagatelle
in comparison to that which would
take place should cotton from Geor
gia and her sister States be denied
these British spinners some of our
poorly informed people think Eng
land will go elsewhere for cotton
should the people in the South be
too exacting in their demands. Such
fears are groundless. The South is
the ONLY PLACE FOR OBTAINING
THESE MILL SUPPLIES. Should
these supplies be cut off for any rea
son the mills would cease running
for want of raw material.
While the ginnings to October
iSih seem large and are largo, yet
they do not necessarily mean a large
crop. Hut, should the crop be ever
so large the world needs it. In
1 904 we had ginned C.417.894 bales
to October 18th and the total crop
that years was something less than
13.500,000 bales; In 1902 the gin
ning to October 18th was 5,683.006
bales and the total crop was 10,588,
25 0 hales. The weather has been
exceptionally fine during the present
gathering season and help being
abundant, the early opening bolts
have been gathered and ginned wit li
on t any of the customary dolays
which so frequently retard the har
vesting of our cotton crop.
The Memphis convention called by
Harvie Jordan should have a ten
dency to place the price on a level
showing a profit to the planter. Our
cotton is needed, hence don't rush i:
on a glutted market. Let the sup
ply follow the demand made by
mills. * j
H. S. REED. ?
LtSi Wt FORGET
TWO HOOKS SOUTHERN BOYS
SHOULD ItEAD.
i So as They AVill Know What Our
People Endured for Ten Years
After the Close of the War.
The following letter was taken
from the Keowee Courier:
1 We were asked a short while ago
if we did not think that "The Leop
ard's Spots" was overdrawn? We
declare that it is not, while it may
be tinctured a little with fiction, but
even that is based upon solid facts.
Read, if you please, a history writ
ten by Dr. Leland, of Greenwood, S.
C, called "A Voice from' South Car
olina." This book was written in
about the years 1872. Then you
will agree that the Leopard's Spots"
is a true story.
"Rest on, embalmed and sainted
dead,
Dear as the blood ye gave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor sproudly sleeps."
This is one of the verses on a
beautiful monument we looked upon
with tearfuL revereTp wliile walking
through Rosemont cemetery, at New
berry. Such acts as the murder y
Crozier are some of the things that
keep a man from forgetting the war.
Does history record any nobier
sacrifice?. Damon was the friend of
Pythias, but this man Bowers was a
stranger to Crozier. Much more of
this pathetic story is recorded in the
"Annals of Newberry." Crozier
yielded up his life that another
might not suffer. The memory of
that day is of a tragedy never to ho
forgotten. The war had ended, and
the soldiers of the discharged Con
federate army and paroled prisoners
were passing through South Carolina
to their homes in the West. Among
them was Calvin Crozier, a Texan,
who arrived at Newberry on Septem
ber 7th, 1865, and was delayed there
over night. He nad some ladies
under his care, and. as hotel accom
modations were very meagre, they
decided it would be best to pass the
night in the car on which they had
traveled. Late in the night some n
gro soldiers, under the command of
Colonel Trowbridge, who had arriv
ed at Newberry that day entered th*1
car where Crozier and the ladies
under his care were qu'etly repos
ing, and made themselves very of
fensive to the ladies. Crozier re
quested them to leave, but they re
fused to do so, and a difficulty en
sued. In the scuffle which followed
one of the negroes was slightly cut
by Crozier with his knife. The reg
iment to which they belonged was
encamped in a graveyard near the
depot, and very soon after the dif
ficulty occurred a number of them
appeared at the depot bent on re
venging the one who had been dealt
with by Crozier. In their madnoss
they seized Jacob S. Bowers,'who was
then General Superintendent of the
Columbia and Greenville Railroad,
and were about to lynch him When
Crozier learned what they were
about, without a moment's hesita
tion, he presented himself and told
them that lie bad wounded the negro
soldier. He was -it once tied arc'
taken to the camp mentioned above
and was shotcto death by the fiends.
His body was thrown in a shallow
grave, and they danced in ghoulish
glee upon his new-made grave. The
officers of the negro regiment, prln
cipaly white, were appealed to in
bohalf of Crozier, but in vain.
Throwbridge, the colonel of this reg
iment, declared that he took upon
himself all the responsibility of the
act. /
Prince Riveris, a negro officr-r.
wishing to save the life of Crozier.
went to him and begged him to deny
the fact that he cut the negro, but
he refused. Siddom indeed do we
find such heroic, self-sacrifice as *s
embodied of this noble Texan, lie
might, have gone free to his far
Western, home had he permited an
innocent man to suffer. How fondly
he may have dreamed of his arnvai
at his Texas home, Galveston. and
the greeting of loved ones there!
He gave it all up and laid down bis
life that another might live. ?
No ignoble spirit could have acted
as he did, and where he now sleeps
must be holy ground. His body re
mained there where it was buried by
the negro soldiers until 1801, when
the people of Newberry had nis re
mains buried in Rosemont cemetery,
and erected an enduring monument
to his memory. Tn erecting this
monument they have honored them
selves.
These are stubborn facts know
to this writer, and are in keeping
with the "Leopard's Spots." Everv
Southern hoy (and girl as well)
should read a book written by Pr
Inland, id Greenwood, called a
"Voice from South Carolina," and
the "Leopard's. Spots." They will
then learn whal the Southern people
endured for ten years after 'he war
until they all rose up as one man in
lh'7(i, with the immortal Hampton as
their standard b-arer, and threw off
the iron heel of despotism.
As we have stated before, tit"
Southern people are the product of a
nation which could not wear a yok-\
The Anglo-Saxon was horn to gov
ern, to be free, to create, to build a
social and political structure, mighty
and masterful.

KILL THE GERMS.
That's the Only Way to Cure Dan
druff, and Parisian Sage Is the
Only Killer.
"Parisian Sage," said a New York
barber, "will kill the destructive and
persistent germs of dandruff, and
abolish the disease. There may be
other remedies that will do the same,
but I never heard of one."
And just read--what one of the
foremost barbers of Springfield,
Mass., says of Parisian Sage:
"Dear Sir: I used your Parisian
Sage and found it better than any
other. It Is the beet hair restorer T
ever used, and I have used them ali.
I find it a great dandruff remover
also. You should get it into all the
barber shops, and get the barbers
to use it, as is is great."?Geo. A.
Stiltz, 73% Main street, Springfield,
Mass.
Parisian Sage soaks into the scalp,
and when it reaches the roots of the
hair it not only kills every dandruff
germ, but it supplies the hair with
just the right kind of nourishment to
put vigor and strength into it and
make it grow.
Parisian Sage is the most delight
ful hair dressing in the world. Use
it one week and you will never give
it up.
Parisian Sage is guaranteed by J.
G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co. to stop
falling hair; to cure dandruff; to

A SWINDLER VICTIMIZED
Many Good People in Anderson Last
Month.
The Mail says another shrewd
swindler is abroad, in the land, and
the citizens of Anderson have in
nocently contributed about $100 to
bis maintenance. The man, who
gave his name as S. H. McColIough,
spent September 11 in this city of
fering a yoar's subscription to the
TIncle Remus Home Magazine and
I an accident policy for $1,000. paia
up for the same, length of time
in the North American Accident In
surance Company of Chicago, all for
$1.
The offer was an attractive one
and there were many who went In
to the scheme. The policies were 13
Bued on the spot and a receipt given
for the payment, of the subscription
to the magazine. The receipt blanks
were printed in regular form an
nouncing the combination offer,
A short time ago Mr. Charles Pre
vost, one of tb^ holders of the above
receipt, wrote the Uncle Remus Com

HYDROPHOBIA TREATED FREE
Georgie State Hoard of Health Cures
for Victims.
A dispatch from Atlanta says had
not the State board of health made
arrangements for treating free of
charge persons threatened with hy
drophobia, it is quite probable that
many deaths from this dread disease
would have rsulted during the past
summer and fall. The season just
passed was one most unusual in
this line. There seemed to have
been an epidemic of mad dogs.
Realizing that there were many
people in the State who might cbe
victims of rabid dogs and who did
not have the means to pay for this
treatment, the State board of health
made arrangements to treat patients
without charge if brought to Atlanta
or to send the treatment to the
physician of the patient with instruc
tions how to use. Since July 29.
when this plan was put into effect,
150 patients have been treated and
this work lias been demonstrated t)
have been one of the most Impo
tant branches of the State board
of health.
The last patients under treatment
are the wife, three children and the
niece of Sheriff George B. Robertson,
of Bibb county, who were bitten by
a mad dog on October 12. c

BITE OF MAD DOG
Proves Fatal to an Elberton, Ga.,
Detail Merchant.
A dispatch to the Atlanta Journal
from Elberton, Ga., says Matthew
Herman, the merchant who was bit
ten by a mad dog on the night, of
October 1st., died Thursday night at
11 o'clock, after an illness of twe
days from hrdrophobia.
Mr. Berman did not becomo vio
lent until two days before his death.
One great fear in his lucid moments
seemed to be that he would injure
somebody. About 6 o'clock he broke
j lo se from his attendants and jump
ed through the window. He wa*
brought back to the house, but later
broke away again, and running to tha
bath room drank water as if he comd
never get enough. He seemed tt>
be burning up with thirst. Later
he asked that he be strapped to his
bed, and this request was complied
with.
Just before he died, after one of
his paroxisms, he asked that everr
one leave his room. Though
strapped to the bed his fear that h*
would injure some one was so great
that he wanted to be alone. It wan
soon after this, while alone, that he
died. *
