r. w. schumpert, the agent or the
Seaboard and B. and C. railroads at
Kollock, who disappeared on the night
of July 21, is now in jail here. He
was brought in this morning on the
B. and C. train by J. A. Jester, special
agent of the Seaboard at Hamlet.
Mr. Jester located and arrested

ever since they left Kollock, but it

they spent a short time in Atlanta.
When arretsed Mr. Schumpert willingly
consented t come back to South
Carolina without requisition papers
and stand tibial. Mr. Schumpert and
his wife disappeared from Kollock on
the night of July 21, leaving the de

carried away about $1,000, of which
about $900 belonged to the ~ Seaboard

WORK OF REFORMING PRIMARY.
Committee of Seven >Iay Have Been
>amed.
Columbia, September 30.?According
to the terms of a resolution passed
bv the State democratic executive
committee last summer, following the
investigation into the charges of irregularities
at the primary, a committee
of seven was to be named by State
Chairman John Garv Evans to sussest
needed changes in the primary rules i
and constitution of the party and to
report to the meeting of the entire
committee, to be called some time
prior to January 1, 1914. Whatever
A AM A AA +Alr/\n aw O Y"\ TT
tiuuuu cue uuiiiumicc uuvca, ui auj
modifications or amendments they
agree on looking to safeguarding the
primary, will be reported to the next
democratic State convention, which
will assemble in Columbia on the third
Wednesday in May, 1914.
While no announcement has been
made by Chairman Evans as to the ap
?)ointment of this sub-committee of seven,
there is every reason to believe
they have been selected and are at
work. It was not stipulatd that their
names should be made public and the
:'act that no announcement has been
nade does not mean that the resolu5rm
tn rlrnw nr> rhan?p<; thrnnsrh a
ub-committee has been ignored. Rather,
it is safe to presume that the re:olution
is being carried out and that
he sub-committee is now at work.
Obviously they could do better and
more effective working out of details
"nan werp their names to be made
public, for then they would be harrassed
and hampered by all kinds of suggestions
and opinions thrust upon
them. The proposed radical changes
:o be made to safe guard and perpetuate
the white primary is a herculean
task, requiring the undivided attention
and brain work of the ablest
nembers of the State executive committee.
It is confidently believed in
political circles that the sub-committee
will report to the full State
rommittee to be called together by
Chairman Evans some time before the
irst of the year, in pursuance of the
resolution.
Reform of the primary will be the
ssue before the democratic clubs, the
various county conventions and the
lext State convention. The clubs meet
3n the fourth Saturday in next April
o organize and elect delegates to the
ounty conventions and they in turn
rather the first Monday in May. It is
ipparent, therefore, that the winning
'i* the battle depends on the control
-1 - - v \
t i:it* tiuu meeuugb. Auvwaics ui
irimary reform will be bitterly fought,
or there are men who will bitterly oppose
any change in the present rules of
he party. The doctrine of letting
every man who has a white skin vote
has predominated in South Carolina
from tbe inception of the primary, plan
of selecting the candidates of the de
f mocratic party.
I Restriction of the right to partici'
pate in the democratic primaries to
. registered voters will have its back!
ers, but the main fight will be to adopt
1 j T-.
sume pi a 11 anu some mtuiuu wiiuju win
| put an end to irregularities and do
! away with the present wide-open system,
which is conducive to repeaters,
floaters, and other forms of irregularities
creeping in, not to mention the
opportunity of systematic working of
| such resources.
The next legislature will be given
the opportunity to pass on a bill re|
forming the primaries, but those in
touch with the situation look for litf
I tie from the lawmakers at the next,
! session along this line. The Nicholson j
bill tightening the primary could not
get through at the last session, and
as the coming meeting of the generalj
assembly will be the last of the present
body and on the eve of another
election, those advocating and wanting
- l.'i-il ~ "L ^
primary reform couni on very nuie ue- ,
ing done. Any reform will come, they
believe, from the next State convention,
or if it fails there then the present
wide-open system will remain as
I heretofore. The fight begins in the ]
club meetings next April and those '
wanting the reform may as well pre-J
pare for action then, or else give up
I the fight.
GOOD ROADS FOR FARMERS. I
Sect'y Agriculture Talks of Marketing

Detroit, September 29.?Secretary
Houston, of the United States department
of agriculture, in an address be!
fore the American Road congress here j
I :oday, expressed his approval of the j
1 J f* J v _ t ! J
enoris or tne organization ana ex- i
plained the interest of the Federal
government with reference to readbuilding.
He urged good roads for the
farmer in preference to great transcontinental
highways for automobilists,
and at the same time he said he
did not underestimate the valuable serj
vice rendered by automobilists in the

propaganda ior roaa-Dunaing.
"That the essential thing to he done
is the providing of good roads which
shall get products from the commuinity
farms to the nearest station and
[ make rural life more profitable, com|
fortable. pleasureable. T entertain no j
sort of doubt," said Secretary Houston,
"and it is obvious that the representatives
of the people in congress
j are like minded. For in making their i

j lars for good roads they stipulated that

proposals before the public mind which
would bankrupt the Federal treasury
and suggest possible abuses before
which those of the worst pork barrel
bills of the past would pale into insig

"The first practical essentials in the

seem to be to recognize the States as
' the smallest unit with which the Fedj

would give relief from the insistent demand
that would come from every
township and every district in the
Union for its share of State or Fed- j

that this should be afforded through
the requirement that the States and

Great Spectacle of "Cleopatra*5 Begins
Regular Performance.
The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth and newly added spectacle
of "Cleopatra" will exhibit in
| Columbia, October 17. The spectacle
i in itself is an attraction that should
fill the big tent at each performance
ana draw thousands ot visitors iroiii
!the surrounding districts. It is beyond
question the greatest production
of its kind ever seen in America,
j The world's most skillful scenic artists,
costumers, property builders,
chorus directors and stage managers
i
were engaged to mount the production.
A stage bigger than a hundred ordinary
theatres was built and made por
table so that it can be conveyed from
town to fown and erected each day in
the main tent. The circus proprietors,
have thus made it possible for those
who live in contributory towns, even j
farmers and tneir families, to see the
magnificent wordless play that is an
immense attraction in the largest cities.
It is pnaeted witn n pact nf 1 -
250 actors, a grand opera chorus, an
orchestra of 100 soloists, a ballet of
350 dancing girls, 650 horses, five
herds of elephants, caravans of
camels, and a trainload of special devices,
costumes, and scenery and electrical
mechanism for producing such
effects as lightning, thunder, sand
C?f Av? fVt A * ? ? ?
vu tiic ucscii) -vwiv;anv;es ill action,
sunrise, Hoods, and mirages.
The realism of the scenery is perfect.
It is as "hough the audience was
looking into t'ae streets of Alexandria
in the day of Ptolemys. The streets
throb with their strange cosmopolitan
life. In the middle distance flows the
Nile, the mighty pyramids and the
sphinx looking down from past ages.
Beyond them stretch endless wastes
of sand. The laureats of a dead race
speak from forgotten tombs. The
walls of Time fall down, ani we see
the court of Cleopatra during its years
of extravagance and revelry, and hear
the story of the betrayal of Rome and
the undoing of Marc Anton}', told in
a vividly realistic way. The incidental
music was arranged by Falti;; Effendi,
late bandmaster of ?the Khedive of
Egypt. The ballet is under the direction
of Ottokar Bartik, balletmaster of
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company.
The regular circus program is the
finest the Barnum and Bailey management
has ever offered. Thrilling acts
are presented by Katie Sandwina, the
strongest ana most ueauurui woman
before the public; Mae Wirth, the
greatest of all riders; a company of
Japanese wrestlers, athletes swordsmen
and jiu jitsu experts, Winston's
riding seals, and Victoria Codona,
queen of high wire performers. There
are 400 performers. In the menagerie
will be found the only baby giraffe on
exhibition in the world. There will
be a parade at 10 o'clock in the foreroon.?Adv.
