PUBLISNED EVERY WEDNESDAY WBVAT EIND OF OFFICERS BE THESES There is another sensation in Greenville,- caused by the arrest of ex- Sheriff Gireath. now po lice inspector, ex-j'aior Phillips, now a policeman, and Reuben Gosnell, a Magistrate's consta ble, the three are charged with aiding Bev. T. U. Vaughn to es cape from the county jail. The irrest was caused by Governor Blesse who based it upon the confession of the convicted man. The arrest caused excitement, and many of the most prominent men in the city rushed to the jail to go on the bond of the arrested men. From what we can gather *from the press reports there will be an effort made to shield the men from punishment by drag ging political prejudices into the *case. Vaughn claims that ex sheriff Gmreath came to tis win -dow in the jail and sawed away the bars, then handed him the saw to fmnish the job, that he paid Jailor Phillips $10 to transfer him to a cell used for women which opened on the jail yard, and that Gosnell came to the window for the purpose of saw ing the bars but conditions were unfavorable that night and he went away. The warrants were sworn out by Dr. W. L. Mauldin one of the most prominent phy sicians in Greenville. The crime of Vaughn was the most atroc ious ever committed in the State, but if his confession with regard to the conduct of theflofficers if true, their punishment should be as severe as the law can make it. Ex-sheriff Gilreath is a popular man, he was recently defeated by a very narrow margin, and then resigned to accept an ap pointment from the city, Vaughn also stood in high esteem until be provedhimself a degenerate but if Giilreath did do what Vaughn says he did, his conduct was shocking and politics should not be allowed to favor or prejudice the charge against him and his alleged fel low conspirators. According to Commissioner of Internal Revenue Cabell the con sumption of intoxicants and cig areetes for the year 1912 has been the heaviest in the history of the country. The nation con sumed from July to September 33,150,000 gallons of whiskey and 19.800,000 barels of beer. and from July to October about 3,800,000 cigaretts. The revenue *has increased more than $2,000, 000 over last year for the same month&t :pect to vote ft ure; and you'r intry. man may wni ways one wix wvhen you vott H f i good clothes vay, you win, men, first vol -ill make no m hie best qualit: w Stand, No. This S The strike situation in Colum bia has been relieved, upon what basis is not known to the public, but both the street car company and the employjees say they are satisfied. Vice President James School craft Sherman is desperately ill at his home in Utica, N. Y. His death is daily expected. It is the opinion that Mr. Sherman will withdraw from the Republican ticket and the name of another will be placed in its stead.

The concentration of troops by the ITurks indicate that the Sultan is preparing to make the comn m ig fight a decisive one before Ithe other powers intervene. If Ihe is defeated we look for inter vention which may involve the whole of Euirope. The cry continues for money to aid the Democratic campaign fund. South Carolina has con tributed a considerable sum. but it looks as if The State never tires in its efforts for the nation al ticket. Woodrow Wilson can not lose for winning, so what's the use of taking all of the mon ey from the people, let them ha.ve a little for Christmas which will soon be here. The Mexican outlook was for a continuation of the revolution under General Felix D i a z. nephew of the deposed President General Portfiro Diaz. but since his capture anotber leader will carry on the revolt. The ceni ter of the fighting is about Vera Cruz, and nearly every day there are accessions from the r-anks of t lie government to that of! the revolutionists. We expect the Diaz followers to restore t he old order of things in! Mexico, and drive the Mad-I eroites from power. unless the United States intervenes, but with trouble brewing in Nica rauga, and a presidential cam paign here, the Washington authorities have about as much excitement as it would 1 i k e for the present-it is Uncle Sam's busy day, but if tLese outlying neighbors provoke him he is liable to ~order out his police and have the greasers and the other trouble IU >r somebody -e going to ce 1, or he maa mner; and all Son clothes TS( ~as many m4 and we win :ers, any of 3 istake in vot 7r and tailorir: ['S $18 and u: I.

Main S itore is the h( That story of the Spartanburg Herald about so many Bull Mvooses in that county cannot be depended upon, because it was the Herald that published the figures that was to elect John Gary Evans to the Unitedi States Senate. and it also gave Judge Jones about 30,000 majority over Blease, but then, the Herald cannot help having visions. Roosevelt will not carry a single precinct in Spartanburg, neither will Tait, and both of them put together will uot get enough yotes in the entire State if voted in one county the size of "Snort ing burg" to have a majority in it. If the people of this State are ready to sacrifice the magnifi cient asylum property for the benefit of a few land speculators in Columbia let them vote YES on the bond issue proposition. We have been urging those in authority and who favor the bond issue to give to the voters of the State a plain straight for wrd reason why this bond issue should be made but there has been.nothing forthcoming from them. Why do they decline to take the public into their confi dence? Do they expect the voters to vote upon themselves a $1,000,000 bond issue for them selves and their children to be taxed to pay without being con vinced of the necessity? Vote NO. The crime of Vaughn recently convicted at Greenville was the most horrible ever committed in this State, it was worse than murder. The jury did right in bringing in a verdict without the usual recommendation of mercy, and wve sincerely hope the Chief Executive will not permit the culprit to escape his just punish. mient. Vaughn's appeal to the jury to save his life was indeed eloquent, and we doubt not that it was from his heart, but he should have thought of his fu ture and the future of the young and innocent lives he ruined be fore. Tue whole State has sym pthy for the wan's innolcent fmly. but for the man himself there is a demand that Justice shall punish him. Governor Blease issues a call to the people urging them to turn out to the election on next Tuesday and vote the full Dem ocratic ticket. This was ex pected of him by his friends, notwithstanding the intimations of his enemies that he was in sympathy with the Bull Moose. because one of his lieutenants has become identified with that movement. Governor Blease is a Democrat and if the party is to be saved in this State it is the friends of the Governor who will have to remember the attempt to disrupt the nparty after the for President Lst your ballo r lose; there's the rest are it's different; HAF]I n as choose ; and nobody rou young fell ing for Hart g; the best fit, p to $30; OVE ALER treet, - >me of Hart Si primary this year, and to not lose sight of those who were parties to the conspiracy. or who were in sympathy with it.
