The organization meeting was held under the exclusive direction of Joh G. Capers, national committeeman from this State. and a well known fgure in Republican politics.

This was thc entire platform of the conventiozn so far as was announced by Mr. Capi er. That the convention of the whltt RepublicanLs In South Carolina is ftov orable to the present national admin istration and Especially so to Pres dent Taft was stated by Mr. Capen~ 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. Mr. Capers made it very plain or all occasions to express that the coo vention was absolutely devoid of fed eral office holders and that Lhere we not one of those present as a dele gate. 'To attend the convention requre. a ticket wIth the name of John G Capers affixed. There was a door keeper and unless the ticket was presented there was no admission The object of this was to preven: the entrance of any negro. The form ator of a white Republican part.y under the leadership of Capers meaor that the negro has been read out o the party In South Carolina. The question now that presents z' self most prominently before the Re publcan situation In this St ate : which delegation, the white or th black. will be seated at the next Re publican convention? The negr. convention will send a delegation t' the next national meeting and a will the white. John G. Capers claims that the ne gro convention was not legal. an c ording to the laws of the party and that there were not ".0 register td negro voters out of 66 who at tended the convention. In one of his speeches at thc con vention Mr. Capers stressed the point that all of the 113 delegate had paid their own expenses. The following is a partiol list of the delegates to attend the conv~n tion. Capt.

The Objeet of the Attack i, Suppocr ed to be Robbery and Nothing I1se A dispatch froan Gaffney -says that plac was agog with excitement Thursday night over a bold attemp, to rob and possibly murder Will J. Francis. superintendent of the public schools of that city. It sems fro what can be learned of the situation that Professor Francis was sitting 'u his room at his home alone count Ing over a big roll of Confederate money. The blinds In the room were turn ed. affording a clear view to any one who might be passing. It is evident that some perosn or persons were outside the window and saw the money. They went to tne back of the house and knocked on the door. -Prof. Francis. with his pistol in his band. walked to tbe rear azd opened the door, stepping out on the steps. When he did so some one h!t him on the head. knocking him to the ground. He was knocked unconadous and then an attempt was evidently made to cut him. as his belt and suspenders are cut in two places. He soon regained consciousness and he heard the party climbing ov er a back fence. He shot at them three times and then arose. going ocer to the residence of Mr. R. A. Jones. next door. and when the door was opened fell into the house. He has now a.most recovered and is abie to walk. although his head is badly lacerated and bruised. Officers were summoned from town and bloodhounds were secured and now a strenuous search is being made by the officers and a posse of citizens. Mr. Francis is unable to state whether there was more than one assailant or not. He cannot say what he was struck with. The blood ounds have caught the trail and the miscreatus may be captured.

That the dele :ates return to their homes and or :anize the party in the counties and pngressional districts based upo.n the organization perfected today ooing to active effort in 191? by the nomination of a candidate for ongress in each of the seven con ressonal districts of the State." This resolution means that tne hite Republicans will not put out andidates this year. The negroes are already nominated catndidates for two congressional districts the rst and the Seventh. There were a number of resolui tions embraced in the report of the ommittee on organizatIon. Amon.g the things favored by the convention -re a more rigid immigration law. thIld labor law prohibiting tiue work ing of children under certain ages that have been passed by the State egislature. a standard eight-bour work day for the laboring men andi omen of the country, a continue.a adjustment of the tariff according to the Republican wzy.

VIVID STORY Young Lad Trs of His Shipwreck and Frc Batde for lie AMI RAGING WATERS Pred. the Twelve Year Old Son of the Late Capt. E. G. Miller. of the Wrecked schooner (bnvere. TeLl of His GallAnt Father's Death and Hi Own F:cape. The Augusta Chronicle says the body of Capt. E. G. Miller. of Heph zibah. Ga.. commander of the three masted schooner William W. Con verse. which wa. wrecked !n the re cent hurricane. 30 mile below St. Augustine. Fla.. has never been re covered. Shortly after the vessel went to pieces a body drifted ashore that was thought to be that of Cap:. Miller. but inter the body was f oun to be that of another victnm of the great storm. The late Capt. Miller was a prom inent citizen of Hephzibah. His shore-leaves were all spent at his home in Rochmond county. He was a prominent Mason and his fellow members of the order were active in the efforts to find his body aftar the wreck. But all hope Is now aban doned that the sea will ever give up the body of this man who had spent his life in its service. On his last trip Capt. Miller waq accompanied by his son. Fred Miller. 12 years old. The boy had a terri ble experience in the storm 'n which his father. the mate and a seaman lost their lives. Fred Miller was brought to his home in Hephzibab last Friday night a week ago. His story of his experience is a thrilling tale of the sea. The vessel ran Into the hurricane off Savannah early Tuesday morn ing last week. The Converse was i staunch schooner and Capt. Miller held te his course. believing, no doubt. tnat this boat could weather it as she had weathered many be ivre'. He had a cargo of cop] aboard and was bound for Cuba. The hur ricane increased In fury -and when about 30 miles below St. Augustine the vessel was blown upon the rocks about a m:le and a half off the Flor ida coast. The waves were rolling mountain-high and the boa: began to break up almost immediately. Capt. Miller ordered all hand. to don life-preservers and take to the wate:. as no boat could be launched in such a sei. Captain Miller himself prepared hi eon for the terrible journey ard !,ter telling the boy to keep his ey -s on the shore and not look behind him the captain saw that be waxs safely started upon his trip and th 'u stood back untIl every one of his men had left. Then the captain iband an ed the doomed ship. -Fred Miller says he will rememn ber that short but awful journey until his dying day.- The boy Is an ecllent swimmer, but no man' s strength could buffet those wav.es ud live. It was every man for him self. The life-preserver kept tia. boy's he'ad above~ water and then h. had all he could do to keep his breath tromn being literally pound4-c out of hi~ by the raging. ronring seas. Though his rather had ordered him not to look behind him the boi ould not resist the i-npulse to look back lust once. He saw his father battling with the waves a short d.s tance behind. Captain Miller wav-d his hand encouragingly to his so-' and that was the lar. the boy ev-r saw of his father. for just then a :onster w ave came over and engulf ed the: all. !rei .Miller felt himssei goinOz do:. down, down.

XD D.1LO A CLIOK AND A JACK1SS. Uecau.w He Reu.wd to Oecide a Case the Way ooosevels Want ed it Decided. It is reported from Indianapoli% Ind.. that Roosevelt during a recep tion tendered him at the C(olumbia Club of that city of October 13Lh charged Judge A. B. Anderson. o. the Federal Court. with being a "damned jackass and a crook* and then a "crook and a damned Jack ass." The language was used tc Capt. Harry New. formerly chairman of the Republican national commit tee who stood in the l:ne in troducing Colonel Roosevelt to the club members. The Indianapolis News gives Roosevelt reason for thus speak of a judge. by saying Judge Anderson rendered the famous decision refus Ing to send Delevan Smith an.! 1 Charle's R. Williams of the Indi:nap olls News to Washington for trial on a charge of criminal libel. nn which Col. Rooserelt. then President. h.d had them indicted. Some one introduced Judge Andcr son to Roosevelt at the club. This introduction was acknowledged by Roosevelt, and Judge Anderson pass ed on. New opposed the appoiat ment of Anderson as judge. When Capt. New saw Jhdge Anderon pre sented to Roosevelt he tbught he saw a chance to disabuse Roosevelt's mind of any prejudice that might that might exist there on accounat of 0Mr. New's opposition to the ap-l pointment. "Colonel." said Mr. sew. *you will remember that I oppo.,eo the ap pointment of Mr. Anderson to the United States bench."* "Yes. yes. yes: I remember. Roosevelt said hastily. "Well. I wish to sat. 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 wa.3 wrong." "Is Judge Anderson that man that decided that libel ease 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. and I said it. This is not confiden Lal." And with that Roosevelt moved long and New gave over the busi ness of introducing people to some one else. 'he matter has caused a senas tion and much bitter feeling amon: the members of the Columbia Club. which is the oldest and most ex clusive Republican organization in Indiana. Judge Anderson is a mem ber of the club. Elforts have be *n madec to prevent the story getting out. but it is being discussed quiet ly by hundreds of public men. Judge And.erson is one of the not ,d lawyers of Indiana. He is an as dent Repu'.lican but not a politician. His appointment was made iargel I on the recommendation of Senator everidge, in whose behalf CoL. Roosevel: came here to speaa. Judge Anderson has presided ov 2r the Federal court of the Inciana dia trict for several years, during whic'a time he nas made a fine record. It fe'll to his lot to sit in Judge Landis court in Chicago at the peti tion for a re-bearing of the famous 29.000.00) fine case against the Standard Oil Company. He threw it out of court. Later he presIded during the trial of John R. Walah. Chicago banker and railroad mag nae'. He presided throughout the liti gation .o remove the proprietors of te Indianapolis News to Washington for trial on the indictment charg ing them with libeling some of Ca.

Wade Wylie. 2(0 years o: -as :t'''m ':m Me renahtne an HITS A SNAG The Republican Leaders in Ohio Ar Gready Worried Abeat FORAKER'S OUTBURSTS - On thw New NationaiLtN that Hau 15e-n Pr omulgated by Tedd) RUooevelt Has Cre-ated Constera S tion Among the Ikpublian. oI the Buckeye State. The bitter attack on Roo'vi msde by Former Senator Foraker a Ohio on Saturday has created con -zernation among the Republicana. I of the Buckeye state. Senator For e aker declared that it is no wunder that William J. Bryan holds up liai hands in horror at the Roosvelt doc trine. for never in his radical M | oments. did Bryan- -o so fr - as to advcorate such a thing a - the "new nk:ionalism. -lie arelar D ed that it was not nationalism. new tsor old. but imperialism, pure and simple. The aenator wvnt further I 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 declare that the net re sult of Foraker's attack on Roose I relt will be to lose Harding. the Re k publican candidate for governor, a large number of votes. Harding has been doing great things in Ohio in the effort to bind up the Republil can party's wounds, and had begun to hope for success in defeating Jud son Harmon for governor. But when the For-ker outbt'rst cams ^r. 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. RoosevelL 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 arainst new plans. The main th!ng this year is to elect a Republican ongress. andi in Ohio to elect a Republican admin istration in the State for wbch the party will assume the respensibili ty." The fear that besets the Buckey" Repul!!cans is that Taft nay los.. his own State ?o the Democr'ats. They are particularly anxious to win because of the President's being a citizen of Ohio. for there ir. ever:: prospect that this !s a "Democrat:.: year" in that State. As a result of the speech of F'ora ker, it ts probable that the dates for other apeeches which he had be-en scheduled to make in the cam naign will be cancelled. Already one meeting, at which Foraker and Son-in-law Longsworth were to spea, from the same pl::tfvrm, has beci. called off, and it is said that :he Foraker stronghold. U.nion County. will in all probability he carried b: the Democrats this year. The Foraker attack on RooseveaL recalls the bitter enmity which grew' up between the senator and the pree ident, while Roosevelt was the oc cupant of the White House. Tne whole affair grew. !ar-cely. out o" the Brownsville affair. It will be recalled thait. while the negroes con. opsing the Twenty-F~fth Infan try were guilty of "'shooting u p"' Brownsville. o r at leas. some of themn were guilty. the president discharged the whole hunch without a!lowing them the right o: court-martial. It was lynch-law ~n a different form from that in whici: lynch law is usually administre: A. according to legal authorities. Senator Foraker deprecated the' act~on of the president in "'firing ' the negroes without trial. and natu; ally the negroes looked to him to de' fend ther:. In the senate. In the long strug.-.le that took place over he affair.
