_ Tuesday morning, in u sail boat, and
this boat was found drifting that
afternoon. 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

FltKDKKICK H. HYATT.
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,

such laws that will protect capital in
all its lawful investments, and 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

and a business man's administration,

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.
