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.
