VOL. XXVI MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1912 NO. 43 SOME QUICK WORK A rHURGH BUILDING ERECTED IN A SINGOE DAY MANY WITNESS THE FEAT With .411 the Material Ready and on the Ground, Large Number of Worklers Ply Their Trales Speedi ly and the Building is Fnished When Evening Came. A new Methodist church was built in Spartanburg Wednesday be tween sunrise and dusk. A dispatch to The State says in a handsome building at the corner of South Church street and Crescent Avenue, not a stick of which had been stand ing 14 hours before, 800 people wor shipped toninght, while three times that many stood outside ,vainly seek ing to enter. Although built in a single day, El Bethel church is as substantial a structure, the carpenters agreed, as it six months had been aevoted to the job. It is a far handsomer building, according to Major Augustas H Kir-. by, 83 years old, than the first Metho dist cnurch erected in this city, which was dedicated in 1836 and took a year to build. With carpeted isles, mission style pews, an altar decorated with flow ers, a piano in the choir loft and all the requisites in placi, the interior of the church last night presented as 'fnished an appearance as the exter Ior, which was neatly painted in white, with green trimmings. Estimates of the number of peo ple who watched the building of the church vary, but it is believed by some that as many as 18,000 persons visited the place during the day. Many people came from the country in buggies and wagons to see the un usual spectacle. Moving picture men reeled of many thousand feet of lm. System carefully prearranged, en abled the 150 carpenters, mechanics, painters, paper hangers. plumbers. electrical workers and other artisans to perform the feat. Every man to know exactly where to get the ma terial needed and where to put It. The Rev. J. M. Shell, who formerly was in charge of the work of the Methodist church in the section where El-Bethel stands and who was one of the prime movers in the project, was the first man on the scene this morn ing. He reached the lot at 5:15 o'clock. Five minutes later the Rev. John W. Speake, pastor of the Bethel church, the mother of El-Bethel: C. P. Hammond, chairman of the build ing committee, and J. M. Crawford of the Magness Trust company, general superintendent of the enterprise, reached the scene. Maj. Kirby, patriarch of local Methodism, who was to drive the first nail, arrived with a number of car penters, about 5:30 o'clock. The brick foundation was already in place having been completed Tuesday even ing. The building material had also been assembled on the lot, every piece was numbered and laid where the workmen knew they would find it. At 6 o'clock Mr. Shell invoked the divine blessing on the undertaking and prayed that there would be no accident. Five minutes later the car penters raised the first corner post and Maj. -Kirby drove the first nail. He used an ancient hammer which, he said, had been lost 1S45 and1 not found again until 1865. Maj. Kirby made one or two false strokes and his grandson, A. M. Chreltzberg,I offered to - hold the nail for him. Maj. Kirby declined assistance, however, and proceeded to drive, the nail without further trouble. At noon all the rough work except the raising of the roof had been fin ished. At this point the bugle sound ed for lunch and 150 workmen filed to two long tables, spread on the lot by the ladies of Bethel church. The Rev. D. S. T. Hallman, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran church, said grace, after which the men fell to the bountiful dinner with keen appetites. While the workmen's heads bowed the camera men took motion picturs of them. Mr. Swain's Baraca band had mnarched to the scene at 9:30 o'clock, playing "Onward Christian Soldier." It took a stand on the piazza of Jesse Mdahaffey's house, opposite the church1 and played lively airs all day. At 5 o'clock the pews were brought Irn and the work on the drop ceiling completed. The standing of the doors and windows and the in stallation of the molding was finished by 7 o'clock The carpet was then laid in. the aisl es, the pulpit furniture installed ap ano was carried to the choir lot and carnations and lilies placed around the altar. The trash was carried out and the house was ready for worship. The artisans were given their supper on the ground and at 8 o' cloc'k, still clad in their workingI clothes, they assembled for worship. The lights were turned on and they were given their first opportunity; for an in~spection of their work. The church looked as If it might have have been used for several weeks so thoroughly had all the details been Mr'. Shell presided at the meeting.

JOINS MILL CLUB REMBERT LEAVES HIS OLD WARD CLUB FOR CAUSE. Recognized Blease Advocate, Being Defeated in Bome Club, Joins An other. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says George R. Rembert, who was on lats Satur day night left off the list of delegates to the Richland County Convention from Ward 1, in which he is a resi dent and in which club he was en rolled, is now enrolled in Ward 5 Club, his name having been put on that club roll since the action of Ward 1 Club in leaving him out of the list of delegates. While no statement has been Is sued along this line, It is presumed that Mr. Rembert will be In the Coun ty Convention as a delegate from Ward 5, and this action foreshadows a fight in the Richland County Con vention between tlie friends and op ponents of Governor Blease, for Mr. Rembert Is the recognized Blease leader in this county, and the action f the Ward 1 Club in leaving him ut of the list of delegates Is con ceded to have been the work of the >pponents of the Governor. S The action of Mr. Rembert In mov ing his name to Ward 5, which Is r known as the mill ward, following e he action of his home club In leav- c ng out his name from the list of del s gates to the County Convention is imilar to the action of Governor Blease at Newberry. the Governor be ing chosen a delegate to the New- c berry County Convention from an >ther club following the action of his ome club in turning him down as a telegate. a Everyone looks for Mr. Rembert In a he County Convention and also looks t or a big fight between the Blease nd Anti-Blease forces. They con ider the action gf Mr. Rembert to nean that he will car-y the fight to :he floor of the County Convention ind endeavor to go to the State Con- r 0 -ention, and it has been rumored hat Mr. Rembert is looking to one >f the places on this district's delega 1 h ion to Baltimore. That Mr. Rembert h x-ill lead the fight for a Biease dele ;ation to the State Convention is a hat everyone expects, and tMe meet ng of the Richland Convention ror ext Monday is looked forward to vith much interest. a HOAX CATCHES A MAN. windled Out of Twenty Thousand Dollars by Slick Rascal. 0 The Atlanta Journal says In an ap- a eal to the police to help the story of a ow he had been caught him locate a cl nan named J.

Barry, Sup rintendent of West Point), told a orrespondent for The World that al hough fighting might be the profes ion of Cadet Littlejohn, it wasn't is, the doctor's. Major-Gen. Barry would not dis ss the affair and Senior Cadet Lit lejohn is standing severely on his ignity with perhaps a twitter of ap rehension over what may be the of cial outcome of Dr. MdVenamin's ction in placing his letter of chal mnge in his superior's hands. Lit Lejohn is due to be graduated this une. It isn't likely, however, that 2e invocation of the code duello by e Southern cadet will come to a rious turn. Dr. 'McMenamin Is not iclined to take the affair very seri usly. He said to the reporter for he World: "Major-General Barry sent one of is aides this morning to talk over e matter with me.

Mexican Regulars Fought Fiere and Showed Consummate Skill Taking Advantage of Opportunit A dispatch from Epic, Mexico, a with 2220 dead, and more than t number wounded, many of wh were unable to crawl from the fi of battle, 2,000 rebels, under co mand of Manuel Guerrero, have bE completely routed by the garrison that city, aided by the police of t local commandery. The attack began April 24, t rebels operating in the Hill si rounding Tepic on the day previc and demanding the surrender of t garrison commanded by Col. Mari Espinonsa. Wednesday afterno Col. Espinosa replied to the mess( ger from the rebel chief with a es non hall which, landing on a f topped hill on which a number of t rebels had gathered, killed three them and wounded two others. At three o'clock in the afterno the r'ebels, leaving their horses. the hills and crawling the sevei hundred yards across the plain, i tacked Tepic from the north, es and west. In the garrison were 3 cavalrymen, all dismounted, a smi body of State police, mounted, a: 110 from the city's force, a total 475 loyal federals. Col. Esponisa sent a part of t State police mounted on the bE horses in town to each of the thr main roads to receive and retu the first fire of the rebels. Behi them were placed sir squads of reg lars, 50 men in each squad, o body just behind each part of cav ry. On the roof of the cuartel thr men were operating the three poun er, throwing solid shots into the re els as they were approaching whi in each of the three main entran ways a rapid fire gun was planted reinforce the cavalry and the to soldiers. The steady fire of the thr pounder did much- effective work the ranks of the approaching robE and they were delayed until the ga rison had transported abundant ai munition to all the outposts ai completed all necessary preparatlo: for the battle. Then at five o'clock the bugles the cathedral tower sounded the cz of battle. The young gunners of the feder army had the range and the elevatic rebels began to fall by ones and twc here and there, then by squads the assailants rose from the furroN of the fallow field to run forward : yards and then to drop again in the sheltering earth. Despite the hail of destructi ranging through the ranks the rebe rushed on until they were within 2( yards of the stone wall which hid tl federals' three guns and the waitir cavalry. Then for one instant the song the rapid fire ceased. The cavair men, sabres and carbines sheathe Ibut revolvers in hand and brid reins hung over their necks, leap4 to meet the foe. It was a short sally but it took ti rebels by surprise, and many of the fell. Then the sabres were dray and the mounted police quickly c their way to the second line of rebe where they turned and amid a he of bullets galloped to the cover the walls. The rebels, thinking the force the garrison had retreated into tl cuartel, followed in a headlon charg Then from machine guns and rifl well concealed behind thick stol wall same a leaden rain that mow< dow the rebels. But on they came. Fresh bana of attackers poured out of the hil and were led by Guerrerro himse: This seemed to inspire the rebels at they gainet almost the entrance the town before the hail of bulle forced them to drop to their faces. Then under cover of heavy firii by the infantry, the calvalry madei way to the cuartel, gathering up as went the foot police in the vario1 plazas.

S CENE OF WILD PANIC .N THE GREAT FLOOD PROVES TOO MUCH FOR THE LEVEE. ely The Water is Now Rapidly Rushing in Through the Inundated Country. ies Near Torras, La. Lys Rushing about the streets of Tor bls ras, La., like persons left bereft of >m their reasons, women screaming and )ld men yelling as they hurried into their m- homes and grabbed their children, en and the stampeding of animals, were of some of cbaotic conditions that pre he vailed in Torras Tuesday night when the alarm was sounded that the levee he at the junction of the Old and Missi r- ssippi rivers had given away. us Although it had been known that he several weak spots had developed in where the break occurred, little at on tention had been paid to this by the mn citizens of Torras and they were .n- caught unprepared. Within a few at minutes after the break had become he known, the townspeople were thrown of into a panic, which continued for two hours before any semblance of quiet on was restored. in Few thought of going toward the -al crevasse and making an effort to t- stop it, safety apparently being the st only thought in their minds. Be 15 fore the streets were entirely sub all merged a majority of the inhabitants d had sufficient time to reach places of of safety. Three hundred women and children were placed aboard a-' he freight train which had just arrived st in Torras. These were taken to a' ee point below there. r Practically the remainder of the id population spent the night on the u- levee along the embantment of the nelTexas & Pacifle railroad and in the) a- railroad station, which were out of reach of the flood, being built on high e piling. No loss of life. has been re d- ported, but it is feared that some b- fatalities may occur in the interior as le the water is rushing through the ce country so rapidly that sufficient to warning may not have reached those t living in districts remote from wire se communication. In N. P. Phillips, head of the levee Is board at this place, was on the levee ,r- when it began to crumble. He gave - the alarm and called for aid but there id was no material available. Finding Is himself powerless, he ran to his own home to save what he could of his t in property. Mr. Phillips' place is in 11 the path of the crevasse waters and he saved practically nothing. Many al of his horses, mules and-cattle were n drowned. The breach this morning is about i 140 feet across. An army of men f Vs was rushed there last night and he .o roic efforts are being made to check t the flow of water, but apparently there is little hope of a suecessful rn fight, at least :until an enormous Is damage has been done to the sugar 0 cane fields which lie directly in the i le path of the flood. If these efforts i fall millions of dollars of loss will 2 be caused by the devastation of somet yf of the most valuable farms and plan- a ytations in the state. d.Eleven parishes with a total popu- I le lation of a quarter of a million will Seventually be partly inundated by c the new break.

John Jacob Astor Being One. The cable ship Mackay-Bennett, which came with 190 of the White Star liner Titanic's dead into Halifax ruesday, first cast gloom over the :ity by her mere presence as a fun -ral ship, t1en sent a shock through hose waiting here for bodies with he announcement of her commander hat 57 of those reported by wireless is identified had of necessity been :ast again into the sea. Yet none, not even the few here ahose friends or relatives had thus >een recommitted to the Atlantic, ex 3ressed any criticism of Capt. Lard ier's action, believing him sincere in its explanation that lack of space on oard, shortage of embalming ma erials and the mutilation of bodies vere solely responsible for his course. That there was D favoritism 1own in the reburial, in that the odies of prominent persons were not ept aboard to the exclusion of the nore humble, is indicated by the hite Star line's announcement that Lmong those bodies sunk again was hat of George D. Widener, the Phil Adelphia capitalist. Although this ppears to be a mistake in that Mr. Videner's son, now here, believes rom Capt. Lardner's description that he body was that of his father's val rt, the name Widener stands on the ificial list of reburied as Issued by he White Star line late today. The one great hope held out to the ereaved tonight was the fact that here are stretched in the rough pine offins in the morge. 60 bodies for 7hich there was no claimant. By mrning all will have been prepared or close scrutiny and persons who ound only bitter disappointment in he death house today will go back omorrow prepared to exhaust every esource before turning homeward. A majority of those cast again Into he sea were members of the Titanic's rew and second and third class pas engers. Eliminating Mr. Widener's .ame from the list there remains, so ar as can be checked up from the ata here, the name of only one first lass passenger recommitted. He ,as Frederick Sutton of Philadel hia. Reginald Hale was among the econd cabin passengerb. Perhaps never was an ocean event o fraught with gruesome aspects zarking a closing chapter in the reatest sea disaster in history at ended with more respectful silence nd lack of morbid curiosity than ras the docking of the Mackay-Ben ett today. Not half dozen of those actually oncerned visited the pier proper and f the general public not more than 00. They stood in silence over aoking the terrace into the navy ock yard 30 yards sfway. They ould see nothing but the upper tructure of the Mackag-Bennett, ents housing the coffins and g can as lane in which the dead were be ag carried to the long file of under akers' wagons for transfer to the aorgue. It was nearly 4 o'clock when the laimants of bodies .began to arrive here by twos and threes. Nicholas iddle of Philadelphia, who accom aned Vincent Astor here in a pri ate car, went alone to identify the ody of Col. Astor, and it was the nst prepared for removal to New ork. The body of Isador Straus a few inutes later was turned over to aurice Rothschild o~f New York, nd in quick succession with little r no ceremony, the bodies of Frank ). 'Millet, the artist, H. J. Allison f Montreal, and others who were *iven In charge of friends. By to orrow all of those claimed will be n their way home for burial. The slight scrutiny of the uniden ified tonight led to what may mean he identification of two of the vic Ims. One of those whose name was ot learned, said he recognized one f the bodies as that of 3. F. P. Clark, ssistant purser of the Titanic, while etters found on another body bore he name of Arthbr White. The let ers had been mailed from Newark, There are only five women's bodies .mong the unidentified. As one of hem appears to be that of a Swedish roman and the other four those of talians, there is little hope appar *ntly of recovering the body of Mrs. tras. A baby girl of about two year lies mong the unclaimed and nameless. )f all the bodies picked up hers was he only one that the waves bore ritout aid of a life belt. Despite predictions to the contrary early all of the bodies bore indica ions that the victims had died swift y if not almost painlessly. In many ases their features were calm and eith the exception of those who had ieen severely injured they were me narkably free from the stamp of hor or or suffering. All were in a me narable state of preservation. Relics of the Titanic dotted the ea over an area of 30 miles square, apt. Larnder said. Door, windows tld chairs by the score were found oating, b'ut to none of them were odies lashed. In several instances there were roups of bodies numbering 50 or ore, but none was lashed together. 31.

Stars and Stripes Torn Down and Trampled Under Foot at Meeting of Socialists and Workers' Union. The Stars and Stripes were torn down and trampled under foot and a red flag substituted during a fierce fight at a May Day meeting of the Socialist party and affiliated unions in Union Square Park, New York, late Wednesday. That a serieus pan ic did not ensue Is believed to have been due to the fact that thousands of persons on the outekirts of the crowd did not know 'what the trouble was. Responsibility for the tearing down of the flag is disclaimed by the Socialists, who assert that members of the Industrial Workers of the World committed the act.- The So cialist representatives on the plat form appear to have done their best to protect the national colors. The trouble started at the conclu sion of a parade of 8,000 men and women, who gathered In the park for speech-making. Red banndrs, the emblems of Socialism, already adorn ed the speakers' platform and the band was playing the "Marseillaise" when the Stars and Stripes were car ried to the stand as the first speaker was about to be Introduced. Instantly there was the wildest ex citement. "Take that dirty rag down," went up a cry from the crowd. But those on the platform held their ground and some with cooler heads tried to quiet the tumult that had broken out. "We don't reedgnize that flag,' cried a man in front as he tried to reach the platform. That cry was taken up by others, a number of whom fought their way to the plat-. form. Those on the platform tried to protect the flag and a fist fight resulted, in which a lone policeman was the only officer who figured. His club knocked three men down. Sev eral men were tossed bodily over the platform rail into the crowd. Bloody a faces were numerous. The big American flag was finally t torn down and hurled to the ground. Miss Caroline Dester, a member of the Socialist party, a tall muscular woman, elbowed lier Way to where t the fallen banner lay. t "Men like you ought to be shot, b she cried as she gathere-d up the flag. She met no resistance ana carried the e flag home with her.

We have received from.- Senator. B. R. Tillman an address to the peo ?le of South Carolina askcing theitr upport in his race for re-election to :he United States Senate. Sens :or Tillman has been advised by ,is medical advisors not to -take the tump, as he would like tb do, and dopts this method of reaching the Democratic voters of the State. The enator's address to the people is s follows: o the People of South Carolinat Twenty-two years ago I asked you o elect me to the office of governor. ou did it, after -a very hot bam aign in which I spoke in every ounty in the State. Two years later asked for reelection. You gave me he office a second time by an gver helming majority. - After tour ears of service in the governor's o1 ice, I asked you to elect me to the enate, and again, afer a heated anvass, you place.d me in the office now hold. I have held this offlee for neirly ighten years, and I am asking you o relecet me to it, although my .ealth is broken and I am no longer e strong and vigorous man I once ,as. I have a ripe experience anAI orough knowledge of the working f the government, and have iny rarm personal friends in the de artments and in both branches of ongress. I came to the senate in a cloud of bloquy on account of newspaper buse at home. I have fought My ,ay in spite of it and have lived to ae most of the newspaper men in ie press gallery my friends. By long service and hard work, I ave won an enviable positn In ashington, and the State Is entitled ) whatever benefit I have In places n the committees which pan only e obtained by such service. I haVe flattered no man aud fear d no -man in debate, and I have a trang desire to "die in harness," yr sentimental reasons only. I have no words that can express iy appreciation and gratitude -for ie confidence and love you have giv a me in all these- years. If I did ot feel that my experience and inti ate acquaintance with public afairs 111 enable me to give acceptable ser ice in the future, I would not ask,. election at your hands, but con mnt myself with the full measure f the homors you have given me al eady. Wen I first came into public life met a storm of opposition, which -as very bitter and intense. It re uired intense and aggressive action >overcome it; and beIng combative y nature, I fought with all my might r those things I thought were right, nd I won because you approyed m-y olicies, my utterances and my ac ens. Amid this exciting c~ntest, many ings were said and done on both des that, perhaps, had better been ft unsaid and undone. Men are ut human, and when fired by strong nvictions, they speak and do things -hich they afterward regret. .As God my judge, I never said anything ut truth, or did anything as govern r or as senator, I did not believe to e of the public welfare. As I loek ack over my career, I can see mis rkes and blunders, plenty of theni, ut they were honest blunders, and have never permitted selfish ambi on or petty revenge to control my ctions. I have tried to be senator f all the people, as I was governor f the whole State and my ambition as been, in the senate, to give the ople the best service of which 1 -as capable. Owing to my poor health and In ccordance with the advice of my ysici:a. I shall not make any eehes during the canvas this tum ier. All of the old men in tby tate have already heard me 90eak, ad if there are any young ones who re not and desire it, I shall take leasure in mailing such pamphlet >pies of some of my best speeches hich I have yet on hand., Notbhingl -ould delgiht me more than to be ble .once again to see ray old friends ice to face. and it saddens zue to >ink that I shall never have this leasure again. I shall hope that the pe'ple of outh Carolina will not displace me y voting me out. but that in some v vou will indicate a wish for e to retire from this position be ause of your belief that I am no mger physically~ capable of perform gthe duties of the office. The sen tciShip) has always been regarded v me as a sacred trust, and I 1tnew u wanted mue to surrender it, I .ould gladly lay it down, conscious aar I have dcne my duty always to re best of my ability.
