That Is the Meaning ?f the Landslide and

ROOSEVELT A HUMBUG
Of (be First Water Is the General
Opinion ot Republicans and Democrats,
Hut Many Democratic
Ideas Which lie Stole and Frotended
to Stand for Are Good.
i'.acfa McCJhee, the accomplished
Washington correspondent af The
State, who made an extertalve tour
of the country Just before the election
and rhvo hla impression of
things political in letters to The
State, is back on Ills job at Washington.
aud is now writing once
more his interesting letters from the
capital of the nation to The State.
Ho says of course the one topic
of discussion In Washington is the
Democratic programme. But, coupled
wr.;h this equally, of course, is
? a consideration of tho the meaning
of the Democratic landslide. As already
noted iu this correspondence,
certain influences uro being brought
to bear to persuade or to scare the
Democratic house into making a fool
of itsolf.
This influence will be exerted with
unremitting endeaxor from now on,
and it will require no HtUe norve
and strength of character on the part
of therjoraocrata who have been elected.
to the Slxty-secoud congress to
resist it.
No effort will be spared by the
Now York proas to domiuate the situation.
And tbo New York yapers
are particularly influential In the
South, whore, unfortunately, many
people. Including not a few newspaper
editors, take their cues from
what those Now York papers say.
These New York papers, it should
be bourne In mind, really know lean
about tbo real sentiment in '.he country
as well as about the conditions
west of the Hudson river than perhaps
any other newspapers in the
whole United States. Hut Just because
Now York is big and the news
papers thore are big. the people, espoclally.
I say. In the- South, and
more espeelallythoae in newspaper
offices, read them and are Influenced
by them.
Furthermore, most of these New
York newspapers get their own prevailing
sentiment, honestly in most
cares, 1 believe, but surely, front the
financial districts of the great metropHls.
rather than from the rank
and tile, the ordinary, every-day citizen.
These papers have set out now.
and honestly again. I am willing to
concede, but mlp.tHkenly, to make
the whole country believe that the
recent Democratic landslide is u triumph
for what they term "conservatism."
for the "safe and sane Democracy."
which ought to be termed the
"inane Democracy.". ' This means
nothing, while the trusts, the flnanelal
sharks and other marauders loot
the people. This !*> the meaning ol

.... . u uitrpmg on squelching
of Roosevelt.
Now there lire those hereabouts
and they are among the keenest observers
of pontics In the country,
who think that this Democratic victory
moans nothing of the sort,
moans not a repudiation of Roosevelt
at all, hut a repudiation of the dominance
of the Republican party by
those who are supposed to be the
enemlist of Roosevelt. Note, pleajo,
fhe word "supposed". Roosevelt Is
a humbuit of the first water, and that
fact la practically admitted by everybody
hereabouts, Democrats and
Republicans of all shades.
It baa been so recognized herea' outs
Tor a Ions time. Rut at the
same time the things which Roosevelt
has been saying ho is in favor
of are generally all right. The country
wants theui. The leaders of the
Democratic party wants them, so far
n? they can he brought aliout within
the constitution. Roosevelt has
failed to get them. lie only keeps
on blustering about them. Thus he
is a humbug.
The one towering Jeader. to whom
the Democrats In these parts are
turning now is VVoodfow Wilson, just
elected governor of New Jersey by
a tremendous majority after conducting
a campaign of leadership which
really led somewhere. Prominent
Democrats here who are trying to
influence the Democratic programme
tuIlK - -
- .v.. . iu tun measures wnich
have boon l?ofor<; th country the past
year, especially the tariff, are considering
the desirability of calling Into
thotr conferences the Now Jersey .
governor-elect.
Now I can say of my own knowl- j
edge th tt l?f. Wilson, is, not In any
-onso wont has beeu termed a "reactionary."
He does not favor and
does not have any tolerance for the
methods of Roosevelt, having more
respect for the law and the constitution
and a tlrct regard for the truth.
Itut at the same time he does favor
n very decided and a very deflnlto
programme of governmental reform
including most of the measures that
Roosevelt himself has pretended to
l>e friendly to.

November ZHUi.
There ma/ bo a wholesale hanging
over in Lexington County |
before many mouths. The Jury com- (
tulssioncrs of that county have drswa
the jury for the special term of court
to commence on Nov. 28, to try tho i
18 men now confined In the Lexlng- I

the killing of l'aul A. Williams, the ]
young Columbia freight clerk, on
tho Hagenbeck-Wallace circus train
on the night of October 2nd, last.
There have been uo recent new ,
developments in the case so fnr as
cau bo learned. ' Only oue of the ,
men In jail, and ho is a negro, has ,
been able to secure counsel. It fh i
said, and he is represented by E. L. ;
Asbill, of IoHJsville. his sis'.er having
<rome all tho way front Chicago to
look after his interest.
A close wj tch has been kept on
tho Jail ever since the men have i
been here, so that there would be
no possible means of escape. On ;
different occasions, it is said, some
of lite men on the outside who are
lteing held as witnesses have become
engaged in fights over disputes of
some character, and more than ouco
have the ofiicers reprimanded them.
So far no arrangement has been
made for a judge to try the ease,
but it Is assumed that Judge Gage
will preside.
ANOTHER FOOTBALL TBAGELY.
Causes Two Other Colleges to Withdraw
From Game.
At Wheeling, W. Va.. Lie coroner's
Jury Monday n'ght returned a
verdict of accidental death In the
case of lludolph Munk, the West Virginia
university player, who died
of injuries received in a football
game Saturday. This exonerates
young McCoy, right end of the Beth
any team who fell on Munk In the
scrimmage and was charge dwlt'u
m urder.
As a result of the tragedy the
university council of West Virginia
university canceled the remaining
football games scheduled because ot
the death Saturday of Capt. Rudolph
Munk. Charles K. Hogg, dean of the
university law school, was directed
to represent the university at the
funeral of the young man.
There will be no more football at
Rethany either tliia year as a result
of the tragedy at Wheeling Saturday
af.ornoon when Capt. Munk, o!
the West Virginia university was
fatally lujurcd in the game with
Rethany college. At a meeting of
the faculty and the student body it
was voted to abolish the remaining
scheduled games.
sey governor elect for the reason that
he is looked upon hereabouts, as I
have said above, as the most conspicious
Democratic leader In the
Hast, and I wanted to toll what 1
know at>out him, that if anybody
puts Woodrow Wilson down as a
tool of the so-called "Interests" or
as a man who is going to act in accord
with this programme, this socalled
"safe and sane" Democracy,
there will be some mightily disappointed
folks round about New York
and those places which take their
ones or what is "safe and sane" from
certain of the New York newspapers.
He knows, by the way as every oneelse
can seo, that as Roosevelt did
oot come nto New Jersey or refer
to the New Jersey campaign, the
not l>?- ascribed to the activities ot
Democratic victory in that 8tate can
the dethroned Oyster Bay boss.
Nevertheless etforts will be made
to show that Wilson's triumph in
New Jersey as well as the Democratic
victory every where does mean a
protest against Roosevelt and what
M>osevo!t is "supposed" to staud
for. And you may look out for St.
The oMcHtt of th?>?? efforts is to pre
vent the Democratic party from reducing
the tariff duties. regulatluK
the corporations and making primary
election laws aud adopting o.tier
so-called "radical" measuies.
The result lu Ohio would have
been the same had Roosevelt never
gone there. And so It would have
been in India. Roosevelt undoubtedly
won rotes for the Democratic
ticKct in .Now York, but the chances
are li?? also lost a goodly number for
the Democrats. He did this, too, by
'he most unscrupulous demagogy of
which he 1b capable, and that Is pulling
It pretty strong. Nevertheless,
demagogy dees work in New Yo*k,
and I know some very astute political
observers there who think that If
Roosevelt had not enterod the. C mpalgn
the Democrats would have piled
up a bigger majority than they
did.
Of course, there is rotten rejoicing
herenlmut that T. R. was defeated
In New York and that, in the language
of the street, he has go? his.
Rut then is no considerable deception
as to the real meaning of the
landslide, not at least among those
who caa keep their heads In aplte
of Mi* din uiade by money * tools.

SOUTH CAROLINA HAS BECOME
A CHEAT CORN STATE.
, 5
"
rho Groat Yields Per Acre in the
State Is Beiug Questioned by Some a
People.
South Carolina It coming to be 5
known throughout the United States
as a great corn producing state and ,
there are many who doubt the great
yields per acre that have been made 1
in this state. 5
I
Out In Memphis -the other day a (
well known minister who ouco lived ^
in this state was making an address t
before a large gathering of farmers. ,
He told them the story of how Jerry ^
Moore had produced over 228 bush- ^
els of corn on one acre of land and
as a result, the well known preacher
jittH been placed In -the Ananias ^
dub. The people don't believe that ,
bo much corn can be grown ou one J
acre. r
This minister reaMlng that he had j
ranch to do to prove his statment (
luinedlato'v addresses a latter to (
it 's state asking for the document- (
nvy evidence. The aOUlavlts have ^
been furnished to the minister with
a statement from the United States
government expert, substantiating
the large yield of Jerry Moore.
A .South Carolinian In Virginia also
has placed himself apparently In
the Ananias Club and he makes the
following appeal to the South Carolina
department of agriculture.
"A Virginia gentleman was recently
'nitrating* over a yield ot 100
b'l. of corn per acre, which was mnde
by a Virginia farmer. Under the
im<pulse of the moment (and which
I now realize consisted chiefly or
indiscretion) I remarked that that
yield had been exceeded in South
Carolina, where a yield of two hundred
and fifty bushels had been made
several years ago. i
"The Virginian?being a Virgin
ian?was too polite to speak his i
thoughts, hut the expression of his
face, indicated clearly that I filled
all the essential reijnireinents for '
eligibility in the Colonel's Ananias j
club. I now appeal to you in the
name of a badly mutilated reputation.
to furnish me with proof to
sustain my statement either in whole
or In part.
"I apprehend th*t nnthu. -,m

two members of the Senate and the
members of the supreme court, properly
certified by h notary for the
commonwealth of Virginia, with the
great seal of the commonwealth affix-1
ed. In at least two colors; but if you \
have not these on tap, I would be '
glad to have any secondary evidence
which you may have at hand.*
The yield referred to was that by
Capt. Drake of 255 bushels on one
arce of land. The information has ,
b?'en furnished.
One day Senator Smith was discussing
agruculture with tho members
of the agricultural committee
of the senate. He mentioned the j
Drake yield and was promptly doubt- !
ed by the other members of the
senate committee. They knowing
Senator Smith accepted his statement
finally when he had produced
the evidence.
