V., SEPT. 14. 1?11 The Raleigh Evening Times was i sold the other day for $25,000, and ; as the purchase price was paid in $20 gold pieces we conclude that hereafter the Evening Times will not be a very strenuous advocate j Of 16 to 1. I A Berlin inventor, after years of, effort, has perfected what- is the nearest approach to a mechanicalj1 uan me wona tias ever known. Itji can do everything except read news- j 1 papers and answer a wife's ques-1 tions at the same time. Chief Justice Ira B. Jones has serft ] his resignation to the governor, to take effect January 6th, and announces that he will be a candidate for governor next year. While it has been intimated that Chief Justice Jones would be a candidate for governor next year, this move 011 his part was altogether unexpected and the an^i^tsncement has created a furore in . political- circles. Chief Justice Jones is an able man and if he should be elected South Carolina would have a chief executive of whom she, would be justly proud, but lots of things can happen between now and next August to change the political situation and (he election is too j far oft to hazard any predictions. I However, there is no questioning the fact that the announcement of Mr. Jones' candidacy has set the politicians a-guessing and there will be some big things doing between now and the next August primaries. In the absence of any proof to the contrary The Herald claimed for Dillon the distinction of being the first town in the State to pay 15 cents per pound for the first bale of cotton. And now come the La'ta Observer and the Timmonsville Enterprise, each in the same breath, claiming for its town the distinction claimed by The Herald for Dillon, but explain tjj rway ui iituciiLiJtwifi Lnai mey j erred m failing to give the circuni- j stance the publicity it deserved. | The Herald regrets that its contem- ( porar.es slept on their rights, but ' in vUw of the circumstances it ' does not think it should surrender j this honor to eithe when It is | claimed by both Manifestly, the < Observer and the Enterprise are 1 wrong. Both towns could not be | the first to pay 15 cents for the first bale of -t'on, and until our ! friends unravel this tangle into which they have unwittingly got themselves we cannot recede from ctur position. The country feels a sense of relief at the close of the lieattie trial, with all its sordid! and sickening details of life in the' under-world. That Beattie is guilty of having murdered his wife cannot be questioned by those who kept up closely with the evidence, ant', the verdict that sends him to the electric chair appears to be so just and righteous that an appeal to a nigner court merely holds outj a vain and forlorn hope. Be&ttie'a case is not unlike hundreds of others that have blotted and seared the pages of history through tLme immemorial, but ou account of the prominence of his family and peculiar circumstances surrounding the tragedy it was given an undue amount of publicity. Beattie was imply a wayward youth with vicious tendencies, and having been boru to a life of idleness with a wealthy parent's purse to meet all his extravagant tastes and desires, he cowed as many others of his kijid have sown, and now he is' reaping?reaping not only the re-! morse which must come, upon spacer reflection, of a miss-spent and dissipated life, but the reward which scripture tells us comes as the wages of sin?death. There is a sermon in Beattie's life and its terrible ending. The country at large will be glad that Jchn .J. Actor and Miss Force are married, or at least have taken the vows which the State of Rhode Island says a man and woman must take before they can live together without being Molested by the law. However, the sense of pleasure one feels at the ending of this rather brutal and disgusting travesty en the sanctity of the marriage vow. does not come from the thought that at last "two souls beat as one," as is usual on such occasions, but from the fact that Astor and his "affinity" will cease to parade themselves before the public, or that the public will soon forget them and the disgusting spectacle they presented while they kept themselves in the lime light. Miss Force, the "affinity"?we can hardly persuade ourselves to call her a "bride"?is said to be at poor but popular member of New York society, and prior to her entanglem t with Astor that her heart an * hand were sought by many of the younger members of Uotl aiu society, but that she pre- j ferred tte aged Astor with his mil-| ions to life in a cottage with one! ivho could not provide her with the [ luxuries that Astor's money will1 i\uy. Such being the case the ' oung suitors whom she rejected lave good cause to congratulate .henitclves, and as for the luxuryoving Miss Force?why here's loping she "will be happy ever af-i or ward," even though she is redded to a rich old imbecile who s legally and morally the hus-t hand of another woman. ' DILLON HORSES WIN V Dillon Uoi-soh Carry off Laurels at Wilmington Races. With but one exception the Dillon and Marlboro horses captured all the prizes at the three day's meet of the Wilmington Driving Association last week. The one race lost to the home horses was the 2.22 trot or pace which was won by a Kaleigli horse. The Dillon horses at the meet were: Margaret, Montague, Dillon Gentry and the green sorrel horse Mr. Edwards has been training during the summer, owned by Mr. Cannon, of Williamsburg. The horses won in tiie following order: Free for all, Alfonso. 3 minute class, the green sorrel. 2.4 0 class, Dillon Gentry. 2.17 class, Montague. The Wilmington Star which speaks highly of the Dillon horses says of the races: Alfonso, the rangy looking bay horse, owned and driven by W. R. Drake, of Beiuiettsville, S. C., capLured the feature race of the meet, Lhe free-for-all, in three heats, first llu no in the tinn irninir t/1 Uan P., owned and driven by Bur- | lie Smith, of Marion. Dillon Gen- ' ;ry, a handsome little roan stallion, i iwned by J. B. Gibson, of Dillon, j ook first money in the other race, t 2.4 0 trot or pace. Both events vere hotly contested and the specators in the grand stand manifest5d maked enthusiasm over some of he close finishes. As on the two preceeding days, mother accident occurred yesterlay, but by good luck that has sharacterized all previous mishaps, neither the horse nor his driver luffered any injury though. the julky was damaged considerably and ?ut out of commission. In the fourth heat of the free-for-all, on die first lap on the turn just leyond the quarter. Miss Jarvis, iriven by P. S. McClellan, of Wilmington, lost her footing in some j manner and turned almost a com-1 [>lete somersault, throwing the j Jriver out of the cart. Mr. McClel- j lan arose at once but the horse was | entangled in the harness and could not get up. She was held quietly umtil the other horses had passed : an the second lap, and then was unhitched and allowed to get up. ; 3he did not enter the race again. With Dan P. and Alfonso fight ing for every inch of ground, the free for all race was probably the most spectacular harness event ever witnesser in this city,and the close finishes brought the spectators to their feet cheering in a frenzy. Up until the last heat was finished the race belonged to neither Dan P- or Alfonso. Dan took the first heat and seemed in a fair way of winning the second also, but Alfonso, by a wonderful burst of speed over-; took and passed him just at the i turn into the home stretch. On the third heat Dam P. came back strong and finished several lengths ahead of the Bennettsville horse, but Aufonso captured both the fourth and fifth, giving hi m the \ money. Dllloai Gentry, who won the 2.401 event, drew the pole in the first heat and held Lt throughout the whole race, practically never being headed. The little horse put up a wonderful exhibition and under the guiding hand of Don Edwards, of Dillon, seemed just a? fresh at the end of the third heat as before starting the first. Though 1 he did not Just walk away from the field he was always Just far enough ahead to prove tantilizlng to the other horses. Practically a green horse, having raced only a limited number of times the little > roan promises to make one of the best horses In North or So"+h Carolina. ? j School I I Supplies!
