More than a score of middies are searching the waters of the Severn Kiver. near Annapolis. Md., for the bo.ieu of Mr6.

In it were portions ot the clothiug that had -been worn by. t . the members of the party. It Is believed that the mldsh'pmeu took Mrs. Bowyer to the bathing shore used by the Naval AcadIeiuy people, and attempted to teacn her to swim and, that she, getting beyond her depth, all three were drowned. All efforts to recover the bodies bad been fruitless up to a late hour. Mrs. Bowyer and her midshipmen missed the regular launch that goes to the bathing bench across the river from the Naval Academy, and Stook a half-rater sail boat instead. There they donned bathing suits and again taking to their boat, went to a beach nearer the mouth of the river, but within sight of the Naval Academy. W>hile this beach is good, tt has treacherous spots, where the depth of water increases suddenly. There 1 ? were no witnesses to what occurred, but the discovery of the boat 1 in which they had been and the fact [ 'W that 10 trace of any of the party hus keen found leada to t-he conviction that all three were drowned.

Mr. Frederick H. Hyatt la one of the candidates for Governor subject to the result of the Democratic primaries and inasmuch as this is his frrst entry into politics, a sketch concerning his public life will be of interest. His early life was passed upon the plantation where he was born. At the close of the civil war, his father's fortune having disappeared in the smoke of the conflict, Mr. Hyatt, a lad of sixteen went to work on his own account. By his own efforts lie received an education in the schools and colleges of his native State. In 1884 he began his career in the insurance world, filling various positions with distinction and in 1892 he was appointed manager for South Carolina for The Mutual Life, which position he now holds. Mi. Hyatt has lived in Columbia for more than 20 years and is recogniz- j ed as one of the business leader In addition to his insurance work he has made a success in handling real estate and other interests. Luring the administration of 't.? lato Governor Kllerbe. h vacancy arose on the Richland County hoard of commissionets. .Mr. H>?tt *a-> named to fill out the unexpired term ana as rhaii .nip was member of the board of equalization. He did not offer for election. It was during h:s term as commissioner that the erst steps were taken to impr >v? the county highways, which are nowpointed to with pride throughout the cot* try. Mr. Hyatt has received venous appointments of former Governors, being one of the State delegates accompanying the governatorial part:es to the Dewey celebration, the Nationi Good Roads congress at St. Louis and various other conventions. He has always taken a high stard for the moral uplift of his community. The erection of Columbia's Y. M. C. A. building was due to Mr. Hyatt's energy while serving as its president. When it was found necessary to enlarge Columbia College. Mr. Hyatt gave the necessary lands for the erection of new buildings and gave considerable financial aid. He is a Methodist, serving his church in various capacities, however when it was found that the Lutheran Theological Seminary, with proper financial aid, would be moved to Columbia, Mr. Hyatt was among the first to respond with such assistance. Upon the organization of the Southern Cotton Association he was elected State Treusurer and was subsequently named treasurer for the entire South. This association having fulfilled its mission to the farmers of the South, It was merged into the Farmer's Upion. Mr. Haytt first conceived the idea of a good roads association for South Carolina, its membership consisting of supervisors, county officials and others Interested in highway improvements. He has been the president of the association since its organization. Conventions are annually held for the exohanse of ideas aud discussions by men conversant with the needs of the State. Mr. Hyatt has visited every county and most towns of the State, on various missions and his knowledge of the tinaiulial, geograhpical and educational conditions make him pecullarily fitted for the position to which he aspires.?Adv.

BLEASE'S OPENING SPEECH I)RLI\ KHED AT OPKX1XG STATK CAMPAIGN AT 8UMTEK. Hon. Colo L IUoiinc (Varly and Sucj cinctly Slates His Position on the i Issues. Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen, South Curollnlans: Two years ago, when I appeared ' | before you as a candidate for the office of governor, I was introduced ' to you as Senator Blease. This morn- \ ing your chairman introduced me as Mayor Blease, of Newberry. Two years heo 1 represented Newberry ; county in.the State senate. At the , close of that year I voluntarily re- ' tired from that position and last j Deceml?er I was elected mayor of the ( city of Newberry, where I was born and where I have lived all my lite. | So it is with pleasure that I can to- j | day repeat the boast which I made . ( in the last campaign, viz., that the ( people of my home town and couu- , ty have never refused to elect me to 1 any office that I have asked them ( for. I have been town attorney and l am now mayor, and have represented the county in the house of representatives and in the State Senate. , 1 have been elected to nearly every State convention since 18h0, when 1 , began my service in the house of representatives, and am now serving , my fourteenth year on the State Democratic executive committee. In the race for pnvpmnr tun voim I received a majority of the votes \ in the town of Newberry ami in ihei county of Newberry, and in the sur- ; rounding counties of I.aurens. Salu- j da and Union, and in that section of , Lexington adjacent to my home county. Where the people know nie best I received my largest vote, and of that I am proud. As to my success in my profession, the records in the office of the clerk of the court at Newberry will show that my name apj?ears as attorney in nearly all of the important criminal and civil cases of the county. I have served t.he State as speaker pro tern, of the house, and as president pro tern, of the senate as presidential elector twice, and as a member of the State board of canvassera for four years, ] and I hep to refer you to those with whom I have served and those whom 1 have served as to the manner in , which I filled these positions and j discharged the duties thereof. , We are told today that conditions | in South Carolina demand a sound and economical, but not penurious, t business administration, and it is true. The financial question Is the ( greatest issue whi'h confronts our ( people. And who was It that first j railed attention to our financial con- , dltion? Mease did it on the floor of I the senate, and worked for a more economical government, nnd begged t.he senators to reduce appropria- j tions. not to create useless offices , and to stop burdening the people with , taxation. In 190G and 1908 1 went on the stump all over this State and t>egged the people to pay more at- f tentlon to their financial affairs, and did all In my power to make the , financial condition of our State the j principal issue in both t.hose campnigns. Hut the politicians and cer- j tain newspaners wanted to keep con- s cealed the true conditions, so they , hollered "liquor, liquor." and hid | the facts, as far as possible, from the | voters. Now, since they can not keep ( these conditions hid any longer. ] some of them are yelling, "Let li- , quor alone, and let's have a business campaign." All right, that is what ] I have been begging for. for year. | and I am glad to sec that the peo- t people have at last waked up to find ( that I was rig.!tt. nnd that they are , now aemannmg wnat I have been trying to get for years-?a more econ- , oniical form of government. Two years ago I exposed the immigration law so completely that the legislature was forced to repeal the act and abolip.h the immigration i,,ireau. Had it not been for my figh. that abomination would still be wit!, i US. I fought for the inspection < f o.ir i mills as to health and as to wording children under the prohibited age and not within the legal hours and the legislature has made provision for this. i 1 fought for night se.hool for chi dren who could not atten 1 day schools, and succeeded in getting a J law passed upon teat subject. 1 fought the effort whi^'i : ma 'e to J-eep thousands of our v.bit people from voting in the p*.wi<ry, ' and in the St !e i .invention 1 s< o- 1 ceedcd in getting the committee to 1 report unfavorably upon the resolu- 1 tion. and on the floor of the conven 1 tion 1 again fought it, and the con- 1 vention refused to pass the resoiution ?ml all nhitn in O....... 1 Carolina are yet free. f My platform today is as follows: * 1. An honest administration of all * laws, fairly and impartially, to ail 1 citizens alike. J 2. Enforcing all laws upon all Jl subjects, and obedience to the consti- ' tution of the United States and of 1 South Carolina. 3. Trial by jury for aW persons c accused of crime and enforcing the * judgments of courts founded upon 1 the verdicts of the juries. 4. Keeping forever seperate the ' legislative, judicial and executive departments of the government, each f however, doing its duty and endeav- (; oring to uphold and support the oth- ;| er. Upon Uiis I respectfully present ' the following issues for the consid- ( eratIon of my fellow-Democrats to ( whom I address myself: (a) I am In favor of biennial ses- 1 sions of the general assembly. (b) I am in favor of liberal ap- ' propriations for our Confederate vet- ' erans. (c) I am In favor of liberal, but 1 not extravagant appropriation for * our State institutions of learning, so * tliat all of tho?n may be kept upon 1 a high stands-u. ' (d) I am in favor of building up ( * - - ?^ti the free-school system so that every white child in South Carolina may be given a good, common school education in comfortable und convenient school houses, and in paving teachers sufficient salaries to secure the best. I am absolutely opposed to compulsory education,as my record in both the house and the senate iu the past will show. "In my opinion, compulsory education at the hands of the State means disrupting the home, for it dethrones the authority of the parents and places the paid agents of the State in control of the children, and destroys family government. Those agents stand between the child and parent. They represent the State. They are not responsible to the parents. They Impress upon the minds I at' the children the views of the State and virtually say, "We have taken you out of bondage and made you Tree, we are giving you what your unnatural parents would not give you?and no child on earth can be subject to such influences and teaching and escape imbibing the spirit j[ rebellion against parental authority. and eonseniiotit ami I ? - I ingratitude. Children are too easily infected with the idea that their parents owe tJiem everything, while they owe them nothing in return, and with the design and law of God set at defiance, w.ho can compass, by the widest stretches of the most gigantic mind, the condition that will follow? We desire to see the standard of education raised in South Carolina; we want every boy and girl in the State to have every possible opportunity to gain for themselves the very best and highest degree of equipment for life, but we do not want it at the cost of parental authority, and the peace of the home. Family government and parental responsibility antedate all others, and it is possible for wild, extravagant and madly enthusiastic men. who see theory and theory only to destroy family government, alienate children from their parents and force the home into a scene of strife, rebellion and wrechedtiess." The Bible says a great deal about obedience to parents and reverence for parents, and, believing in that Hook and its teachings as strongly as I do, I say to the parents, for the sake of their children, our country and for the future, keep within your own control the rearing and education of your own children, and strike down by your ballot every ofTort to deprive you of the same. Our people fight force bills in congress and they had better fight this one at home. (e) I am opposed to the higher education of the negro race, and in favor of the taxes paid by white people going to. and being used only Tor, the education of white children. (f) I am in favor of a strict enforcement of the vagrancy laws. (g) I am in favor of a law requiring either a marriage certificate :>r the registration of all marriages in the otfioe of the clerk of the court >f the county in which the marriage lakes place. (h) I am In favor of a flat rate ol i 1-2 cents per mile on railroads in kt. X...A mn oui am opposed 10 me ules now in force on the railroads is to mileage hooks and charging 15 cents excess. (i) I am in favor of good roads, yood morals and honest government. (j) As to the whiskey question, I im satisfied that the people of the State are tired of the agitation along his line. 1 favor local option, and, n order to be strictly Democratic md allow self-government and home-ule, I favor extending the present law so as to allow a county to have license, if the majority of her white litizenn wish it, as other counties have dispensary or prohibition. However. if license is voted. I favor the most rigorous enforcement of t.ho laws for the sale in this manner, prohibiting under any circumstances, any whiskey being sold in less quantities than one-half pint, or between sunset and sunup, and prohihH it from being drunk on the premises, or being sold, under any circumstances. to minors or inebriates, or behind closed doors or screens, prohibiting any obscene pictures on the premises, or any billiard or pool rooms connected therewith, and providing that any person holding a license who shall violate any provision of t.he law shall immediately noon conviction, forfeit his license and be forever thereafter barred from be life uifiinni, it nil III addition IIP 1111prisoned at hard labor in the State penitentiary without the ai?e.native of a title. 1 am absolutely opp.is ;1 to the old bar-room system, and would under no circumstanced si,;u a bill to reinstate that system. (k) 1 am opposed to any law restricting the rights of Aemocrats to rote in the primary elections, other thnn is provided for in the rules adopted by the State convention, which provides as follow: 'That no white man shall be excluded fiont ,>t tieipation in the Democra*. t. p: t nary who shall take the pled rr re idlred by the rules cf the Imi. ocr itr party, and whose name has been enrolled on the Democratic chn? lt-t lve days before the primary elej't ?n, ind who is otherwise qualified under he eoustitut ion and rules of t.he Democratic party to vote in the primiry election." The oath referred to s as follows: "I do solemnly swear hat I am duly qualified to vote at his election, according to the rules ?f the Democratic party, and that 1 lave not voted before at this elecion, and pledge myself to support he nominees of this primary," Rule ! provides that no person shall be lermitted to vote unless he has been nrolled on a club list at least live lays before the primary election, ind unless he has been a resident of he State one year, and of the couny in which he seeks enrollment HO lays preceeding the next genera) deetion. It is, therefore, seen that he claptrap, so-called argument that teople are allowed to vote in the >rimary elections who nave only been n t.he county for a few days or in he State for a short time is absontely unfounded and unwarranted. >ecaAise these provisions which I >ave cited make it absolutely imperitive that in order to vote in the >rimary one shall have been in the State one year and in the county 60 Jays proceeding the general election, 1 .... and this absolutely prevents any maa from voting in the primary election who is what is commonly called A floater. In my opinion, this is amply strong, and any law passed by the legislature further abri lging the right of suffrage in the primary would be vetoed by me immediately if I were governor. (1) I am in favor of running the government on a liberal, but uot extravagant basis, t as is now being done) and in making our tax levy, both county and State, as low as possible for a safe and ec.onmical management of our financial affairs; an?l of reducing expenses uselessm tcoof reducing expenses, abolishing useless positions, stopping extravagant appropriations for any purpose, stopping the useless expenditure of money by officials, stopping the creation of useless otlioes. anil all other methods of reckless, careless or useless expenditure of money that causes an increase in the tax levied upon our people for our taxes at e too -high, and our people are now too heavily burdened with taxation. I fully believe that the grandest most progressive, most perfect a nil most independent form of goveri - meat is u poor government and a rich people. When you make a rich government, and thereby impoverish the people, or make a i*>or people, you reverse Democracy and create dissatisfaction and discontent among the people, who are the masters and not the servants, as some woul-i have tts think. For me. give me a poor government and a rich people, in place of a rich government and a poor people for the more money that you give your legislature the control of. the more extravagant will he their appropriations and expenditures. Under our present management the idea seems to be to raise the tax levy higher, make assessments higher, make more extravagant appropriations. and spend the people's money uselessly, making both the people and the government poor, for the I benefit of a few who hold politic;'I positions and draw large salaries, and who are trying to c reate an aristocracy, not of blood, not of brains, hut of money. (ni) I am in favor of the constitutional amendment to be voted upon in the general election providing for la fifth justice of the supreme court, | and in favor of making the decision of the supreme court in any case the final dis|K>sition of that particular | case, in so far as the State courts are j concerned, unless that court itself shall for good and sufficient legal reasons afterwards brought to its attention change its decision. Triflling with the courts as is now being done, should lie stopped. And in order to bring this about 1 am in favor of such laws that will protect capital in all its lawful investments, and the good old Democratic doctrine, "Bqual rights to all and special privileges to none" in each branch of the gov- ? eminent and particularly in the enforcement of all laws. 1 have been advocating these principles for years in the house, in the senate and on t.he stump in my home county and throughout the State, and have stood squarely on them out in the open and never waited to see which would he the popular side tiefore taking a stand. Even when some of them were very unpopular and It seemed that any man who dared advocate them was doomed to political oblivion I stood by them and made the fight to keep them up and begged the people not to be deceived, but to hear me for my cause, and now we see some who did not stand for them, or who, If they did, were afraid to acknowledge it, endeavoring to push me off my platform and yelling to the people that they and Hetsv killed the bear and that they are the logical candidate. If therebe a logical candidate upon these principles or upon a financial platform for .1 more economical form of government. and for reduction in appropriation and a business man's administration, I submit to you, the people, that I am t.he man, standing upon my past record as candidate, legislator and citizen. I beg to call your attention to the fact that two years ago I received forty two thousand and one hundred votes for this position. Prom the information that 1 have received I am satisfied that 1 will lie elected and if so 1 promise you ,i fair and impartial administration of all the duties of the office and in so far as my power lies a reduction >>* expenses and an honest enforcement of whatever laws may now be upon your statute books, or may be placed there by the properly constituted authorities.?Adv.
