DEMOCRATS REGISTER.
I
An Urgent Appeal From State Chairman
Wllie Jones. Danger In Neglcet.
Gen. Wilie Jones, Democraitc State
Chairman, -Wednesday issued ithe
following address:
To the Democratic Voters of South
- Carolina:
Fellow Democrats: In view of the
groat indifference which seems to exist
among the Democrats of this
st...e as to registring under the new
law requiring all voters to register
this year, I feel it to be my duty as
your chairman to address you in this
public manner, and urge you to go
to your county seatB at once and reg'..ler.
There is no doubt about the
fret that the negroes are registering
In great numbers in some counties
and if the Democrats do not register
they cannot vote In the general election
in November next, and some of
our congressmen may be defeated.
The electoral ticket of this state may
also be endangered by the failure of
me Democrats to register. The
time expires September 1st, 1908, and
after that it will be impossible to be
registered. We have heard of late
various threats that our representation
In congress would be reduced
by a Republican congress on account
electoral ticket and also for our con-1
election. All indications now are
th.?t the next house of representatives
will be very close, and the past
history of the Republican party proves
that that party will stop at nothing
to count in a working majority.
Now, fellow Democrats, do not allow
this serious charge to be made
against you, but go immediately
and register, and be prepared to roll
up a big majority for the Democratic
electoral ticket and als ofor our congrecslonal
nominees. The Democratic
county chairman throughout the
state are urged to enrnestly request
the Democrats In their respective
counties to attend to this important
matter at once and to use their best
efforts to get them out Immediately,
a.? the time expires for registration
September 1, 1908.
Very respectfully.
Wille Jones, Chairman. *

Two deputy sheriffs were kidnapped
by strikers at Jett Mines and
tied to a tree. Another house was
dynamited at Wylam, the shock being
so severe as to throw the inmates

conference with Governor Comer,
Issued orders that no assemblies ol
men are to be allowed near the
mines; that marching groups are
not allowed to go along the highways
from mine to mine; that all meetings

speakers will be arrested
and that discharging of firearms will
not be permitted. Governor Comet

When Youth Approached Father <
Smoking Quarrel Followed.
The killing of James A Riddle by
his son, Thos. Riddle, which occurred
Sunday at Cotton, a cotton mill town
seven miles south of Fayetteville, hT
C., is said to have been the result of
a quarrel which the boy had with
hid father about smoking a cigarette.
Young Riddle approached his
father, in the presence of others,
smoking a cigarette, when the elder
remonstrated with him, bringing on
a quarrel.
The father attempted to strike him
with a board, when the young man
drew a revolver and fired four shots
into his father's body, the first causing
instant death.
Thomas Riddle immediately surrendered
to the police. Coroner J.
Vance McGougan ordered the murderer
held without bail. He was
taken to Fayetteville late Sunday
nleht and ulaced in lull.
He made a statement for publication
in which he claims that his father
was under the influence of an intoxicant
Sunday afternoon, and that,
according to a statement made to the
prisoner by his mother, a short while
before the tragedy, James A. Riddle
had left the home to secure a pistol
with the threat that he would kill
the family upon his return.
The young man came in contact
with his father before the latter's
return. The prisoner also says his
father had him hemmed in a jam
and was about to slay him with a
board.

BABY BOY A HEllO.
Saves His Companion From Deatli
| I'nder Auto.
' At Spartanburg a littlo child is the
. hero in an automobile story, which
has Just become known at that place.
Two little boys of about three
years of age. Gilliam Harris, son of
, John Harris, and Glenn, the son of
Mrs. J. E. Evlns, were playing 011
. the edge of the sidewm* on South
, Church street with their nurses.
Suddenly a large touring car came
down the street at a great speed and
j little Glllinm Harris ran out in front
. of it. Several ladies were sitting on
t the verandas and, seeing the child,
, ran out, as the nurses had not seen
tTie children. Of course they could
' not reach him in time. But just as
. the car was almost on the little fel!
low, Glenn ran out and catching him
1 around the neck fairly dragged him
, away. It was wonderful and the
little fellow was the object of much
praise from the ladies.
There is a funny side to everything.
After the danger was over Glenn
still kept his hold 011 Gilliam's neck
until he was fairly gasping for
brenth. There they stood. Glenn,
with a tight hold around Gilliam's
neck, and the latter with his dear
little mouth hanging wide open.

MAD CAPTAIN A SUICIDE.
Schooner Beaches Savannah With
Tale of Tragedy.
With the steward in charge and
the crew of four men aboard the
Schooner Frank A. Williams was
towed into Savannah Wednesday
bringing the story of the suicide at
sea, and in a raging storm, of the
vessel's mad captain, A. M. Guthrie.
The steward, Bonis Inphen. told the
story. He said that Capt. Guthrie
wus on the deck when the schooner
was off Cape Lookout. He saw the
captain walk calmly to the rail,
stand 011 it and dive overboard.
Thqugh efforts at rescue seemed
foolish the steward threw a rope,
clenched his lists and held his head
The man in the water saw it, but
under water in an effort to drown
himself. The rope was thrown to
him twice, hut he refused it. and a
big wave soon swept ami from sight.
The story Is unusual and adds
another to the long list of tragedies
off Cape Lookout. "He was insane,"
declared the steward. His eyes
told it. We all knew it, and we
persuaded him to give me charge
of the vessel. We did not want to
sail seas unknown to us in the care
of a crazy man. I saw he was
crazy as we left New York, but we
came on and he seemed to go all
wrong when the storm got so bad
off Lookout light ship.
' We could not stop the captain
when he suddenly decided to leave
the ship. We were helpless without
him, as none of us knew the waterf
we were in."
The steamer City of Augusta, from
nutsum lur ouvuunuii, iuuuu nit
schooner off the light ship and towed
her to Savannah. The crew ol
the schooner watched the rescue ol
the crew of the schooner Schull,
which was abandoned off Cape Lookout.

11ROKK HIS SON'S HACK.
Report RenclioH Lake City of a Tragedy
in Florence County.
News reached Lake City Thursday
afternoon of a most, deplorable
tragedy, which occurred in the
Hyman section of Florence Co*int>
Wednesday afternoon late.
Details are meagre, but it seems
that Thomas Summerford, a white
man. living just a few miles from
Hyman. attended the campaign
meeting at Hyman on Tuesday, and
in the afternoon loaded up on booze
and went home and promptly raised
a row in his family. In the excitement
he picked up one of his little
boys and thrust him against the
banister with such force that it broke
the child's back, from which injury
lie died in a very few minutes. It
seems from all reports that Summerford
is a very quiet and peaceable
man when not under the influence of
whiskey, which makes the case all
the more sad. *

THE MALDEN'8 OAT.
Meowing of the Feline Sated Cap.
tain, Wife and Crew.
"There's*one thing In which cats
and rats agree," said Captain Charles
W. Bates, of the Boston Bchoouer
Maiden, as he wandered across the I
floor of the Maritime Exchange, "and ;
that is, that they both will leave a (
sinking ship. So It wasn't so much
of a surprise to me when the crew 1
of the Maiden grew a bit superstitious
when our tabby leaped over :
the rail with a piteous wall and sank '
In about forty fathoms off the the I
coast of Georgia. ;
"We'd been fifteen days out from (
San Juan, bound for a Florida port,
but a gale drove us several hundred
miles further north than we had Intended
going, and when the Mai- '
den's pussy leaped to her death we
all had been guessslng for fortyeight
hours what would happen to
our vessel.
"Lylg on her starboard beam
one moment and on her port the
next, with seas washing over us so
that we couldn't move across the
deck, the Maiden was acting crazy
enough for any shipload of deep sea
mariners. The night before the cat
went free of the Bchooner's rail It
had a dream, to which my wife and
1 can testify, for we were awakened
by the ghastly meowing of the re
JUMPED OVERVHE RAID,
line as she stood, with back up and
hair on end, at the foot end of our
bunk.
"What wan still more strange,
both ray wife and I had been dreaming
of a shipwreck when the cat
awakened us, and the ill omen was
so apparent that I told Mrs. Bates
to dress and I dressed myself. On
the watch 1 found Simpklns, the
mate, and five members of the crew,
all working desperately to save the
Maiden which was wallowing in a
sea such as I had never seen before.
"Matters kept growing worse
avery minute from the time I got on
deck, and it was shortly before dawn
that the cat went over the side. That
settled the crew and the men who
had been working at the pumps,
with the water gaining on us every
minute, decided that 1 should order
the boat lowered and cut away
from the Maiden. The schooner was
leaking like a sieve, and one might
as well have tried to pump the Atlantic
dry as to pump the Maiden
free of the briny.
"Well, what happened to the
scho >ner need not take long to tell.
She went down like a lump of lead
and wo had barely time to get the
boat away before the topmasts d'sappeared
under the water. My wife
i and 1 and the crew of six drifted for
a dozen hours before a Far East
, tramp bound for Savannah showed
her lights and stopped for us. We
were taken to Savannah where we
received every hospitality that could
be extended to as dreay a lot of
eight shipwrecked mariners, Including
one woman, as ever drifted
around the coast.
"Will my wife go to sea again?
Well, 1 reckon yes. Tho next time
I get a ship you'll see her shipmates
with me, and she has told me that
we won't go to sea without a cat
either, for the meowing of the Ma'den's
tabby undoubtedly saved our
lives."

considered was offensive to Turks,

and cassia. In the cave of AlKanuz
near Paradise. When they
quitted the place they were to convey
his body to the center of the

I/cad Wool.
Hitherto It has been customary to
make the joints for gas and water
pipes by first introducing strands of
hemp yarn Into the socket, then filling
the space left wKh molten lead
and afterwards caulking the latter.
A more modern way Is now provided
by means of what Is known as "lead
wool." The lead wool consists of
the threads of virgin lead, cut by
special machinery In such a manner

Kvery Democrat Should Help.
The ''American" workmgman has
had his eyes opened. He now sees
that protectionism and other Republican
policies are not panic proof.
He is still suffering from the high
prices of all he buys that his lords and
masters the Trusts and Corporation
can extort by virtue of the monopoly
the tariff policy of the Republican
party gives them. He dreads the
certain reduction of wages "after
election," if the Trusts and Corporations
achieve another lease of
power through Republican success.
The greatest fear of the American
workingman is that if the Republicans
are successful he can no
longer appeal to force of arms?the
strike, the boycott?and without
these he is helpless to protect himself
and therefore the modification
the right of a Court of Equity to issue
injunctions is the paramount issue
of the campaign.
How can the "American" workingman,
therefore resist the opportunity
to defeat his enemies and restore
his lost opportunities? From
present appearances at least twothirds
of organized Labor will vote
the Democratic ticket.
The great problem of the Democrrtic
leaders will be to prevent the
coertion of the workingmen who are
not "Americans," yet who are such
a large percentage of the voters in
every doubtful State. That requires
a compact organization and campaign
funds to make such possible.
Mr, Brysn has appealed to every
Democratic newspapers to open a
subscription list for campaign funds
and if, the editors will lay before
their readert the necessity of giving
what they can afford there it no
doubt tht?t all legitimate expenses
will be met. The legitimate expenses
of a presidential campaign
are enormous?the Republican
managers estimate it at $3,000,000
but they are naturally extravagant.
If half that sum is donated by Dem;

funds.
How much will Mr. Rockefeller
give to the Republican Campaign
fund now he has no fine to pay?
Under the Republican system of
trust busting it seems probable the
Standard Oil Trust will escape en
tirely.
Mr. John Claflin president of
the H. B. Clafiin Dry Goods Company,
favors higher railroad rates, but
then John does not pay the freight.
If Mr. Taft is elected President
we must all pray he will live long
and prosper for it makes patriots
shiver to think of Jim Sherman being
president.
President Roosevelt does not appear
to uphold the decision of the
Circuit Court in the Standard Oil
case, but regards it as a miscarriage
of justice. But then he is only bluffing.
The trusts understand him.

j Congres > ppropriated the enor1
mous sum of $1,008,397,543.56 for

1909. Trial would give our present
j Republi* an Congress the unique
record of :>cing a two billion dollar

member uidtthis year they will pay
a $12 in i: x s for each member of
their fam. les? a total tax of about
$60 for eh h average family of five
- persons.
e During he last four years of Republicn
? x ravagance there has been
? appropriated $3,428,000,000 or $33,>f
000,000 n.ore than the vast expending
tures during four years of civil war,
y so that during that period each head

ll^ taxes over $200 and what has he got
for it?
)f Under Republican policies the tax
paid bv tne poor man is as great
*" as the lax paid by the rich
^ man. In tact, in some cases the tax
9f oaid bv t ne poor man is greater,
in For instance, when Mr. Rockefeller
or any oilier rich man buys fiannel
h* for underwear valued above 70
CO
cents pi t pound, he pays a tariff
ce tax of S6.39 per cent, but when a
poor mi., buys a cheaper grade of
flannel lor his underwear, vBlued at m
? not more than 40 cents per pound,
I he pa> o tariff tax of 143.67 per
cent. These llgnres are the actual
3- duties p o.l on "flannel for under^
wear" a officially reported by the
ls" Goveri in nt for the year 1907. As
ls the prcn nt Congress refused to conits
sider am revision of this unequal
ilv tax, or the many other like cases
r, which th present tariff law imposes
the high rate of tariff taxes on flan
nels ano everything else that is in
or eluded in the tariff law still continc!ues
?1 Yet ni.my bnsiness men. farmers,
and those who have to rely upon
f wages s ill vote the Republican
na ticket, umch is virtually to endorse
se. the Republican policy of taxing
tcs those wi h small incomes more
than th >e with large incomes.
M Surelj it is time for Retrenchment
or reform, and experience
^ shows that neither can be expected
ok from Republican politicions.

one residing outside of the State of
