Chairman: and ?Oomrnitteemen Were Named from Each Congressional District. A new Republican party was or ganized in South Carolina on Thurs day. Eliminating the negro entirely and asking nothing of the Pederai office-holders, none of whom was present ax the Convention, about 113 of those who believe in the- Repub lican doctrines met at noon in the 'Columbia* Theatre,-in ?Columbia,- and inaugurated a branch of the nation al organization for this State, which the leaders'think will be fruitful of much good. The organization meeting was.held lander the exclusive direction-of John G. Capers, national committee man Srom this State, and a well known figure in Republican politics. The convention was pulled off without a hitch for everything had been pre-i pared by Mr. Capers and it was not necessary to debate any question. 'Following the appointment of tne several committees to mechanically assist in perfecting the organization, - -the -noinl?aiT?nNsbmmittee/m?de report and the following are the officers of the party: Organization Effected. . !L- W. ?; Blalock, of Goldville, Xaurens County, chairman of the Republican State executive commit tee. t.

Cain, of St Matthews. tBy a resolution the convention af firmed its loyalty to the principles of ?the Republican party as adopted at ''the last national Republican conven tion held in the city of. Chicago. Tl^la resolution was recommended ?by the committee on platform and "unanimously adopted. 'This was the -entire platform of the convention ?o far as was announced by Mr. Cap ?ers. --; Thaf the'convention^ of<~the wblte Republicans In South Carolina is fnv orable to the present national admin istration and especially so to Presi dent Taft was stated by Mr. Capers ?and later embraced in a resolution which was adopted without murmur of dissent; in fact, there was not a murmur of dissent on any question ! that was put before the delegates, j Mr. Capers made'it very plain on all occasions to express that the con vention was absolutely devoid of fed oral office holders and that there was not one of those present as a dele gate. fTo attend the convention required a ticket with the name of John G. -Capers affixed.. Ther?? was a door keeper and unless the ticket was presented there was no admission. The object of this was to prevent the entrance of any negro. The form ation of a white Republican party under the leadership of Capers means j that the nogio has been read out of the party In South Carolina. " The question now that presents it-' ?elf most prominently before the Re publican situation in this Stnte is which delegation, the white or the black, will be seated at the next Re publican convention? The negro ?Convention will send a delegation to She next national meeting and so will the white". John G. Capers claims that the ne gro convention was not legal, an cordlng to the laws of the party, and that there were not 20 register v*d negro voters out of 66 who at tended the convention. ?In one of his speeches at the con vention Mr. Capers stressed the point that, all of the 113 delegates had paid their own expenses. The Known Delegates. The following is a partiol list of the delegates to' artend the conven tion, Capt. Capers thinking that it would not be expedient to announce the names of others attending with the exception of the members of the various committees: Ricbland?O. E. Hutchison. L. D. Melton, T. F.

I 'At the roll call there were no delegates to answer from Char leston, Colleton, Dorchester. Edge field,' ? Georgetown,-'Hampton, ? Lee, Marlboro and Saluda. That candidates for congressional honors will be placed in the filled in 1912 is shown by the following reso lution, which -was adopted without dissent, as were all other resolutions: "Resolved further, That the dele gates return to their homes and or ganize the party in the counties and Congressional districts based upon tbe' organization perfected toda'y Jooking to active effort in 1912 by the noarination 'of-' a candidate-'for congress in each of; the seven con gressional districts of- the State." This resolution means that tne white Republicans will not put out candidates this year: The negroes have already nominated candidates for two congressional districts the First and the Seventh. .There were a number of resolu tions embraced in the report of the committee on organization. Among the things favored by tbe convention were a more rigid immigration law, child labor law prohibiting the work ing of children under certain ages that. have been passed ,by the State legislature, a standard eight-hour work day for the laboring men and | women of the country, a continued adjustment of the tariff according to the Republican way. D. H. Wallace of Union was elect ed secretary and treasurer of the permanent white Republican organi zation in this State. He is a son of the late Judge W. Hi Wallace, well known as the speaker and or ganizer of the "Wallace House which was organized during the days of Radical regime in Colombia." The occupation of the secretary and treasurer is given as that uf mer chant and planter. Another delegate to the conven tion was C. E. Grey, who comes from Westminster and represent the on ly majority in the general election for this State. The negro has been kicked out of South Carolina politics and the dele gates to The State, convention of white Republicans were open in their expressions that they had thrown off the "mill-stone.'' This was the char acterization of the negro in Republi can politics by several of the dele gates. As enumerated by John G. Capers, there were 113 .delegates at the con vention from practically every coun ty in the State. The names of many of the delegates were withheld by John G. Capers. :he following are the members of the several committees that were ap pointed by Mr. Capers as temporary chairmen: Credentials?L. W. C. Blalock, Laurens county; A. G.

OKANGEBUBGr, CALLED JUDGE ANDERSON A CROOK AND A JACKASS. ?Because He Refused to Decide a Case the Way Roosevelt Want ed it Decided. It is reported from Indianapolis Ind.. that Roosevelt during a recep tion tendered him at the Columbia Club of that city of October 13th charged Judge A. B. Anderson, of the Federal Court, with being a "damned jackass and a crook'' and then a "crook and a damned jack ass." The language was used to Capt. Harry New, formerly chairman of the Republican national commiU tee who stood in the line in troducing Colonel Roosevelt to the vlub members. The Indianapolis News gives Roosevelt reason for thus speak of a judge, by saying Judge Anderson rendered * the famous 'decislob/'refus^ lng to send Delevan Smith and Charles R. Williams of the Indianap olis News to Washington for trial on a charge of criminal libel, on which Col. Roosevelt; "then President, had had them indicted. ' ' Some one introduced Judge Ander son to Roosevelt at the club. This introduction was acknowledged by Roosevelt, and Judge Anderson pass ed on. New opposed the appoint ment of Anderson as judge. When Capt. New saw Jhdge Anderson pre sented to Roosevelt he thought he saw a chance to disabuse Roosevelt'-, mindi. of. any rpreWdIc"e~rthat^might that might exist there on account of Mr. New's opposition to tue ap pointment. "Colonei," said Mr. New, 'you wiil remember that I opposed the ap pointment of Mt. Anderson to tbe United States bench." "Yes. yes. yes; I remember,' Roosevelt said hastily. "Well, I wish to say, Colonel," continued New, "that I was wrong in my opposition to Mr'. Anderson and you were- right in appointing him. He has proved that I' wa3 wrong." "Is Judge Anderson that man that decided that libel case out here?" Roosevelt asked sharply. "Yes. I believe he did decide a libel case," said New. "That was the decision of a damn ed jackass" and a crook," Roosevelt retorted. "Yes. he Is a 'crook and a jackass, snd I said it. This is not confiden tial." And with that Roosevelt moved along and New gave over the busi ness of introducing people to some one else. The matter has caused a sensa tion and much bitter feeling amoiu the. members of the,Columbia ClubA which is the oldest and most ex clusive Republican organization in Indiana. Judge Anderson is a mem ber of the club.' Efforts have bem made to prevent the' story getting out. but it is being discussed quiet ly by hundreds of public men. Judge Anderson is one of tue not ed lawyers of Indiana. He Is ah ai dent Republican but not a politician. His appointment was made largelj' on the recommendation of Senator Beveridge, in whose bf-half Col. Roosevelt came here to speak. Judge Anderson has presided ovsr thtf Pederal court of the Indiana dis trict for several years, during which time he has made a fine record. It fell to his lot to sit in Judg* t.andis court In Chicago at tbe peti tion tor a re-hearing of the famous !$29,000,000 fine icase against the Standard Oil Company. He threw it out of court. Later he presided during the trial of John R. Walsh, Chicago banker and railroad mag [nate. -He pre.Blded throughout the liti gation to remove the proprietors of the Indianapolis News to Washington for trial on the Indictment charg ing them with libeling some of Coi. Roosevelts Intimate associates in the Panama canal bond matter. After a thorough hearing Judge Anderson denied the authority of the government to remove the news paper men to Washington.

C, SATURDAY, OCT HHS_AJNAG The RepobScaa Leaders io Ohio Are Greatly Warned About FORMER'S OUTBURSTS On the New Nationalism that Has Been Promulgated by Teddy Roosevelt .Has Created Constema- < tion Among the Republicans of the Buckeye State. The bitter attack on Rooseveit rtfade by Former Senator Foraker in Ohio on Saturday has created con sternation among the. Republicans of the 'Buckeye state. Senator For aker declared that it is no -wonder that William J. Bryan holds up his handB in horror at the Roosvelt doc 'trine,- 1 for ?* never 'in' "his " radicaf moments, did Bryan go so far as to advorate such a thing as the "new nationalism." He declar ed that it was not nationalism, new or old, hut; imperialism, pure and simple. The senator went, further into detail, and did not mince words in denouncing the overweening am bition of the ex-president, who would like the opportunity to run the whole country, in the executive, leg islative and judicial departments. Ohioans de^'.are that the net re sult of Foraker's attack on Roose velt will be to lose Harding, the Re publican-" candidate -for * governor, 'a' large number of votes. Harding has been doing great things in Ohio in the effort to bind up the Republi can party's wounds, and ha'd begun to hope for success in defeating Jud son Harmon for governor. But when the Foraker outburst came on, with all the bitterness and force which long ago earned the speaker the title of "Fire Alarm" Foraker, it was immediately recognized that the re sult was not ,good. Mr. Harding gave out the following statement in regard to the affair? "It was a typical Foraker speech. Perhaps his opposition to the new nationalism will not wholly please the more' devoted followers of Col. Roosevelt. But we have no. special need to agree upon that subject in this campaign. There is no censor ship on individual Republican ideas in Ohio either for or against new plans. The main thing this, year is to elect a Republican -congress, and in Ohio; to elect a--Republican admin istration in the State for which the party will assume the responsibili ty." The fear that besets the Buckeye Republicans is that Taft may lose hfis own State to the Democrats. They are particularly anxious to win because of the President's "being a citizen of Ohio, for there 1b every prospect that this is a "Democratic year" in that State. As a. result of the speech of Fora ker. it- is probable that the dates for other speeches which he had been scheduled to make in the cam paign will he cancelled. Already, one meeting, at which Foraker and Son-in-law Longsworth were to speak from the same platform, has been called off. and it is said that the Foraker stronghold, Onion County, will in all probability, be carried by the Democrats this year. " The Foraker attack on Roosevelt recalls the bitter enmity which grew up between the senator and the pres ident, while Roosevelt was the oc cupant -of the White House. The whole affair grew, largely, out of the Brownsville affair. It will be recalled th.it. while the; negroes com opsing the Twenty-Fifth In'.'au try were guilty of "shootiny U p" Brownsville. or a* louse some of them were guilty, the president discharged the whole bunch without allowing them tin- right, ot court-martial. It was lyncb-l::w !n a different form from that in whicu lynch law is usually aduiinisierei, according tc legal authorities?. ?>enator Foraker deprecated the action of the president in "firing ' the negroes without trial, and natui ally the negroes looked to him to de fend them in the senate. In the long struggle that took place over the affair, Senator Foraker was de termined in his efforts to see that the negro soldiers were given an opportunity to be henrd---a right which Ib supposed to be denied no man who is charged with crime ir. the civilized world. At a dinner of the famous Gridir on Club in Wa.5hin?:ion in February, 190S, President Roosvelt took occa sion to defeud his action in discharg ing the negroes, and to denounce the men who had opposed him in con gress. He was especially severe, and. In the course of his remarks, he took occasion to use a siring ex pression which was popular about that time?Roosevelt Ls both a mak er and user of slang, as everyone knows. He brought into his remarks the sentence. "All coons look alike to me." to the amusement of all present, except, perhaps. Senator Foraker .ind a lew of nis Way ef thinking IVut the "tire-alarm" senato. ho who had waved the bloody ;,;.ir' in the fare of the South many n time, was not afraid to reply to tb* hero of the evening. He got the boor lat er on. and he indulged in s?nir re marks that were about as 'Vtter ns were those of the president In the rourse of his reply rn the President, Senator Foraker turned OBEB 29, 1910. THEY ARE SAFE THE CREW OF THE LAST BAL LOON ARE FOUND AT LAST. Both Hawley and Fost Report Un harmed, Alter Traveling. Approx imately 1,330 Miles in Balloon. Allan P. Hawley and Augustus Post, the aeronauts of the balloon America II, for whom search had .been prosecutedin the Canadian wilderness, are safe and have es tablished a new world's record for sustained flight. (They traveled approximately 350 miles and came to earth in Chi coutimi county, Quebec, on Wednes day, Oct. 19, but were not heard from until last Wednesday, when rel egrams sent from St. Ambroise, Que., reached New York. The balloonists started from Sr. Louis with nine other contentanta in the. international, race .Monday,.,Oc tober 17. All the other balloons have been reported. Two messages from Hawley auc Ppst were received in New Yort early Wednesday night. One was :o William Hawley, brother of the aer onaut; the other to Samuel F. Per kins, pilot of the balloon D?sseldorf III, which until Wednesday night had been considered the winner. The message to Mr. Hawley read: "Landed In wilderness week ago; 50 miles north of Chicoutiml. Both well. Allan." The Perkins message read: /'Landed . Parabonka. river,., north Lake Chilogan, 19th; all well. Re turning. . Hawley. "Post." With the reclpt of the news end ed a search, regarded by many a3 almost hopeless, in which the gov ernments of this country and Cana da were indirectly participating. For, in addition to emissaries sent by the Aero Club of St. Louis, the cutter service, the signal corps of the army, the Hudson Bay company and other agents were conducting the search, scouring the lakes: and making- pre parations for search. Lloyd Harmon, the wealthy ama teur aeronaut and aviator of New York, had offered $3,000 to any one finding Hawley and Post, dead or alive, and this sum had been in creased Wednesday night by sub scription to more than ?7,000. At the international aviation meet at Behnont park the aviators Wednes day afternoon, headed' - by $500 pledged by Gierin H. Curtlaa. fYoung Perkins, who accompanied Lieut. Hans Gericke in the D?ssel dorf, conceded iroonediately after tue receipt of the telegram that he and the German lost first place to the New Yorkers. Perkins had estimat ed the distance traveled by the D?s seldorf at 1,240 miles. .He was over joyed at hearing from hie "iong lost rivals and quickly dispatched a mes sage to St. Ambroise with instruc tions to forward a message of con gratulations to Messrs. Hawley and Post. William Hawley shouted withxela tion when he heard of his brother's success and safety. For the last week he had been under a constant strain and had been in hourly com munication with points in Canada from which he hoped to receive new3 of the landing. As the outlook grew less hopeful day by day "his ? anx iety became greater but through it all he did not lose faith in his broth er's ability to come -through alive. He had sent J. H. Pope and Ed mund Stratton to Ottawa to carry on the search but he notified them of the happy ending. The America II was last reported passing over Maple City, Mich. Sky gazers were able to read the name on the balloon but thereafter all trace of her was lost. Ignored Caper*. Charleston federal office holders ignored the call for the meeting for the organization of a Lilly White Republican partly and they were con spicious by their absence when the meeting was called to order at the capital Thursday. Hanged Himself. Mr. Modey Knight, of Society HIM, who was visiting his son In the Fork Hill section of Lexington county, hanged himself Wednesday after noon, while his son was at work some distance from the house. He was a sufferer from pellagra. lUt^s for Negro Fair. It is announced that the Atlantk Coast Line railway will grant reduc* ed rates for the South Carolina nt f.ro fair.

They Operated; in Rock Hill, West ville, Btanchville and Charlotte Before They Were Caught. A dispatch from Charlotte, N. C, eays a unique swindling game, far reaching in operation and involving prominent diamond-, importers was laid bare there on Wednesday, when J. W. Napier and W. P. Duke, from nobody knows where, were arrested on warrants sworn out by United States Postal Office Inspector Bulla of Washington, and bound over by United States Commissioner Cobb of the federal court. One of the -swindlers, Duke, col lapsed, following the arrest, turned state's evidence and unfolded the operations of the gang, to the com missioner without restraint. Briefly. ? the "'6fchemevvwas to order dia monds from a responsible concern c. o. d.. subject to examination, .sub stitute imitations for the real dia mond and return the shipments to the importers with flimsy excuse as to flaws in the stones. The gang operated successfully in Rock Hill, Branchville. Westville, Charlotte and other neighboring towns and cities, using James Par rls, an unsophisticated country boy, as a decoy. Asking examination of the gems the importers were led to ship the precious stones to Parris. When they arrived at the express office, Duke,.,who professed to be a jeweler, would show up, with pro fessional care examine them, and j with some flimsy excuse turn them) back on the express company to be returned, taking care during the ex-j amination to substitute the false' gems for the originals. The imita tion stones were supplied by a house in Terre Haute, Ind. Parris, whom the swindlers used as a tool, is an ignorant country boy, who can neither read nor write. He was discharged by Commissioner Cobb, while D?ke and Napier were held in bonds, of $2,500 each. Duke made a full confession of the affair. The only victim of the pair disclos ed during the preliminary examina tion was that of Daniel Lowe and Co., Salem, Mass. A GUNBOAT SINKS.

In Atlanta one white man and one negro were seriously injured and. three other negroes instantly killed Thursday morning, about 8 o'eioea,. when a large wall of dirt gave wagr and caved in upon them at the cor ner of Pryor and Houston streets^ ? where a deep excavation is betas made preparatory to putting up an. eight story hotel. The men had just gone to work anu several wagons were used for the purpose of hauling the clay out of the big excavation. One of thai wagons was right under the wall be ing loaded with the clay, when sud denly and without the slightest warn ing or noise the large moss, of dirt probably 12 feet high, broke loose and fell upon them with a heavy thud. ' \ - . ... Their fellow workmen and many bystanders rushed to the pile througn which only a wheel of the wagen and the face of the white man was visible and the work of digging the victims out was immediately began. O. C. Upchurch, the .white ma?, who lives at 630 DeKalb avenue, was the least injured, as his headt was partially out of the dirt. and. while the pressure of the dirt was great on his body, he was able to receive a small amount of air which sustained him until he could be got ten out. Two of the dead negroes were bad ly mashed and the thrid had nearly every bone In his body broken and: his head was entirely torn from his body and gotten out of the heap several minutes after the trunk. One of . the most remarkable es capes of any of those who were not killed. 'was-.that of Will Owens, a ne gro, whose home is in Macon, bat who has been living at Atlanta for some time. The rescuers were fully fifteen minutes in reaching his bead, which.. was ' completely buried and he was totally unable to get his. breath during the time, but he re gained consciousness before beinc carrried to the Qrady hospital and told his name and residence. BOTH WERE LOST. Tried to Save His Brother aud Both* of Them Perish. 1 How W. P. and J. M. Taylor, bro thers, of Columbus, Ohio, perished is. the recent hurricane on the Gulf ofr Mexico, one dying in a vain attempt to save the other, is told in a news paper dispatch. The men were en route to the Isle of Pines, where they had business interests in addition to il wholesale establishment at Colum bus. When the storm struck the vessel on which they were voyaging, one* of the brothers tied himself to a. mast. The other, after trying in vain to keep a foothold on the deck, fell exhausted and was washed over board. None of the crew could aid him in that terrific tempest, but the remaining brother Is said to have loosened the bonds that held him to the mast and dropped Into the sea. The act in the face of the conditions was little short of suicide, according to the survivors of the storm. Crary Woman's Work. At Keokuk, Iowa, emptying a two gallon can of gasoline over herself, and her husband and son, while they slept, Mrs. Rena Stutterman then set fire to the trio. The woman who. it is supposed was mentally unbalanced died next day, and her son a few hours later. The husband la in a. critical condition. Was an Old Friend.
