COOi'LK LX;:L .i.N-S :;a ^Substaiiiiaiiv" Y-.hut II S;?M at liauibcitr ^U'c-tiiiu t.Iun t?isl U> L'rv>s. ColuiuLia. Aug. 3?Solicitor K. A. Cooper gave out the :'olow::ur state-; meut to the press: It has been stated in some 01 the: newspapers published in the State that I Siid at Bamberg that in case, I had been 'Governor "TT'ouId have: acted as the present Cov^nor has' with reference to tiie Questions which | lie propounded to me." The papers do; not undertake to publish just what I said. In oruer that tne puolis may j fliave an opportunity of judging lor themsehes us to the proper construction to put upon my remarks, the fol-j lowing is substantially what i said at the Bamberg meeting: "It has been my purpose to make1 this race without criticising the public i or private record of any competitor of j mine, because if I am elected to the . office I want to be able to say that I! did not try to win votes on account: of the mistakes or shortcomings of1 others. But Governor 'Manning has | sden fit to ask me certain specific i questions and insists that I shall j answer them. "His first -question is, 'why is 'Mr. j Cooper in this race trying to defeat me, -when lie made the race two years ago on practically the same platform that I did?' Now, my fellow-citizens, this is a free country, and any person who is -qualified, according to the rules of the Democratic party, bas the right to offer his services for any office. I might ask the same question j of any candidate in this campaign, j For instance* why is Mr. Dove run- j ning for .Secretary of State? Why's is Mr. Fant in the race for Railroad Commissioner? Why does Dr. J. 3.1 Black offer for the 'State Senate from > Bamberg county? Who gave them permission to run for these offices?; The question answers itself. When j <any man holding public office dares | to Question the right of another to offer against him. and thereby asserts j title to the office, it is time for some! on^ to oppose him. The office belongs j to the people, and it is for them to' 8iav who shall serve them. "The Governor asks again, what I; ("would have done with reference to: the enforcement of law in Charleston, j I am srprised that he should havej asked me this question. Two years ! ago I stated on every stump in South -Carolina, and have repeated agian this | year, that if elected Governor I will enforce the law in everv section of! South Carolina, from the mountain to! the sea. If a jury, after a fair and | impartial trial, finds that one of your j citizens has violated the law. I will never disturb that finding -unless I am ; convinced that the verdict is wrong.! The pardoning power was not given j to cue "U-ovenior to enable him to re-j ward bis friends or punish his en- j emies, but for the purpose of cor- j rectiag mistakes or preventing an in- j justice. "The Oovernor asks also if I favor j the Board of iCharities and Correc- j tions. I can see no special objection i to the Board of Charities land Correc- j irons, oui i >ao not see tne necessity | of having so many -boards as we no*>v ; have. We have the State Board Of j Charities and Corrections, the Boarv! i of Regents of the State Hospital for the Insane, Board *of "Visitors and Di-j recto srof the State Penitentiary. T have stated on former occasions that : T think one board should be clothed ! "with ample authority and charged | with the management of our jpenal ond charitable institutions, j ' The Beard of Charities rand Cor-! roctions, for instance, could do oil rtf T*- r\ vlr ?r?? 1 J un w biug nvj a, aiiu w C >VUUIU ; thereby not only save money to the taxpayers, but avoid a -conflict of authority between the different boards.: "I am next asked by the Governor if i I would have ordered out the militia at Anderson at the time of the Brogon Mills strike. How can 1 answer ( this question? I was not the Gover- ; nor, and have not the information which the Governor is supposed to ' have had, and do not know wh, : condition of affairs was presented to him. ; I will state, however, that if T am elected Governor, ] will maintain the ' supremacy of the law at all h zardi.i' and under all circumstances. x ( "The Governor asks again, if I vrou.ti !;ave acie; c ne has with reference to the A: .n If I were the : Governor of SoMth Carol in. j wen]1, do everything in civ power to alleviate the sufferings and is:]-rove the condition c'" these \v fortun; *e }n-' I rpcn whom the hand o: affliction has been laid, nnd who are recess ril" confined in the State I'o^r-^al ; Insane.

If I had been Governor I should have endeavored before the passage of the bill to show the Legislature thai some of its provisions were unwise. I do not think, however, that the veto power was given the Governor to be used in an arbitrary manner, and if the General Assembly, after a full and fair consideration, should pass a bill, I do not think the Governor should veto it unless he is convinced that it will work irreparoVvIrt iniimn s\y fViot it virvlutoc +Tl? 1UJU1 J VA tMU i.

He was convicted of conspiracy to cause an armed revolt in Ireland and with having sought <Jern:a2i aid to that end. k-lore the execution a great crowd of men. women and children gathered before the prison gates. Twenty minutes before .Casement mounted the s arioii the great prison bell com menced to toil. The soun i was greeted with cheers from the crowd, mingled with some groans. 'At one minute after 9 o'clock a single stroke of the big bell announced that the trap ?<ad been sprung. Jt was the signal for a mocking, jerring yell from the crowd which suddenly died away into silence. Casement met his death with calm courage, according to eye witnesses. Early in the morning two priests of the Roman Catholic church administered the last rites in the cell of the ni\-n H amn oH man iinri cTinrtlv aftpr VVUUV/iXiAlVU XO.4fcA.AX V* J M>*-VV* ward a little procession headed by the clergymen with Casement following, a warden on either side, proceeded to the execution shed, only five yards away. The ;riests recited the litany of tlie dying, Casement responding in low tones: "Lord have mercy on my soul.'' According to one of those present Casement's last words were: "I die for my country." The Last Moments. As the party reached the shed where the gallows were erected, the special excutioner, a hair dresser named Ellis approached Casement and quickly pinioned him. The two chaplains, the undersheric of London and the undersheriff of Middlesex then took their positions in front of the scaffold. Casement mounted the gallows steps firmly and commended 'his spirit to God as he stepped on the trap. A moment later the lever was pulled. Immediately after the trap was sprung the prison engineer and physician decende I into the pit, wiiere after the application of. the usual tests Casement was pronounced dead at nine minutes after nine. According to the custom in the case of prisoners hanged for crimes similar to that of Casement his body will be buried in quicklime in the prison yard, but pro bajjy ^.o decision will be made unt.'l the inquest. An effecting incident took place outside the prison wall as the execution 'was in progress At the back of the prison a little distance from the jeering crowd about the gates,was a group of about thirty Irish, men and women. When the dul clang of the prison bell pronounced that the doomed man had paid the last penalty this little group fell on teir knees and with bowed heads remained for some moments silently praying for the repose of the soul of their dead fellow countryman. Immediately after after the execution three notices were uosted oh the pris op. door. The first signed by the undersheriff of London, the governor of the prison and Fater James McCarrell, Casement's confessor read: "Judgment of death wis this uay executed on Roger David Casement in his majesty's prison of rentonvi'.le in our presence.'' A similar notice was signed by the underspent! of .Middlesex county. The third bore the name of P. R. Mander. the j.ri.soa surgeon, who certified that he had examined | the bodv and found Casement dead, i l Casement Was Calm. . ; Casement showed not tlie slighest j i concern over his fate. He ate well j 5 nH r.?i'J rto.'l frooK* i i!v wifV) lwo wardens in "his condemned cell. After a hearty late supper lie divested himself for the iast time of his convict clothes and went to oed.

He also called attestion to its splendid railway facilities and the fact that Columbia made a bid for one of the federal reserve banks. mi\ jucvei saiu vuiujxiuid. is growing rapidly and pointed to the. increased postal receipts of the city in substantiation. Speaking of his conference tonight, Mr. Lever said: "You am say for me emphatically that Columbia is going to make a strong bid for one of these land banks, and that there shall be nc let up in the fight in her behalf until final selections have been made by the boards. I believe Columbia is | justly entitled to the most serious consideration of the bor.rd in its selection of the federal land banks. She has . a great many points of advantage and superiority, and it is my hope that the chambers of commerce of various towns and cities may join j strongly in this effort to land this en-1 terprise for the cupital city of the!

"Biii" is a Maxwell touring car with a hue appetite for the open road, but J a very moderate thirst. J Residents of her home town are all ?! wrought up over Mrs. C'Bannon's long tour. She says the folks are betting against her making a finished job of it. The men folks are particularly step- 1 tical, merely because she set out to show the tour could be made without a man along. So Men ?n Trip. Besides Mrs. O'Bannon, there is her neighbor, Mrs. R. E. Minshew, and her a three children: Allan, aged 13; Frank, nine; and LVlary Grace, four. Then W ther-3 is a lot of baggage, bedding, cooking utensils, etc., for the O'Bannon party is doing a lot of camping I out along the trail. Altogether, the Maxwell is loaded dnwn with I.Oftft pounds avoirdupois. Since he hit the trail at Dallas, "Bill" has passed through Texas, Ok- J lahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, In diana, Ohio, and Michigan. Before he M takes his precious party back home, he's going back to Ohio, thence to 1 New York and, finally he will take in Washington. D. C., because the children want to see where the president I of the United States lives. A Matter of Geography. v It's all a matter of geography. O'Banon says her -children have learned more about their country this summer than thpv rmilri "havp ahs/vrh ed in five years at school. "The old-fashioned wsy of learning geography was through books," she ^ sajs. "But there's no use doing that -*hen we have Maxwells. 'Bill' takes us wherever we want to go. (We've fl had no trouble.
