APRIL 18. 1912. 1 .. -=y ^ Some of the Woodrow Wilson j newspapers in this section are in < great glee over the result of the i i Pennsylvania primaries, in which 1 the New Jersey Governor secured ( practically all of the delegates to ' the Baltimore convention. One ] of his loudest shouters thought ^ it smart to observe a day or two ] ago that they certainly kicked \ the hound around in Pennsyl- j i vania Saturday, meaning, of 1 B.. * course, that Mr. Clark had been * disastrously defeated. We ques- * tion the accuracy of the state- ( ment. Mr. Clark had no organi- j zation in Pennsylvania. Governor , Wilson, on the other hand, had ( friends at work for him all over j the State. He therefore got the i ] delegates, who will represent aj State in the national convention! ] that is more certainly Republican 1 than North Carolina is Demo- ] cratic. It is worth while, speak- 5 ing of the candidates for the j Democratic nomination for the j presidency, to observe just now j that the people of South Caro- , lina are being deceived by cer- j tain newspapers which are tell- \ ing them that Governor Wilson I will assuredly be the party nomi- < nee. At thi3 time there isn't { a newspaper in America which ' can sav with any degree of j [ accuracy who will be nominated, j Governor Wilson may be nomi- j nated ?and if he is, we hope he ; a w ili be elected?but the quality ? p of some of the support he is ( receiving in this State is con- a temptible in the estimation of r those who believe that all the ? Democratic candidates are en- * titled to a fair hearing and do t not deserve to be lied about. e * ? A Rights of the Autoist t With a view to preventing, if > possible, collisions between auto- ? tomobiles, buggies and other ve- ( hides in this community, the (( owner of a Fort Mill automobile 15 has handed The Times the fol- 1 lowing clipping, from an Ander- i1 son paper, with the request that ( it be printed in this paper: J "While I am well aware of the J fact that a lot of careless and reckless driving has been in- J | dulged in on the part of numbers 1 J of autoists, they are not always j 1 at fault. There is a very mani- 1 1 esi UISpUMUUU I'll Llic (mm l? VI many to keep the middle of the 1 street or road when being ap- 1 proached or overtaken by an s auto. In fact some are extreme- * )y discourteous in their manner1 of treatment to autoists, and to such warning should be given j that half of any public driveway J belongs to the vehicle approach- 1 ing or overtaking them, and at ? all times when meeting vehicles J or turning.corners, their proper place is on the right side of such ' road or street, and likewise when J being overtaken the law and " common courtesy demands that they give half the right of way by driving to the left if it appears that such party wishes to pass. All of our streets and public ; roads are amply wide enough j for any two vehicles to pass each j other in perfect safety. "New York city, the metropolis j of the United States, has no T speed limit, but no driver of any t vehicle dares to trespass upon , the rights of others by taking ( the left of any driveway, as the law is rigidly enforced, and as j evidence of the wisdom of such , law accidents by automobiles, ( buggies, vragons, etc., are very ( few even along the most con- . gested streets of the city." { 1 About Cotton. 1 There are two things about * cotton that have been demon- ! strated to a finish: First, that ! the cotton crop of 1912 was above the average; and, second, that every possible combination has;1 been formed to keep the price ( depressed until every bale has j [ passed out of the hands ot those j1 who raised the cotton. j We all understand that the world needs more and more cot- \ ton every year. It is a gradual but ever increasing demand. It |' is one of the prime necessities of {' the world and the great bulk of; the staple is produced in the; J Southern States. Nevertheless,'' we are all convinced that every j \ ear there is an organized etfort; to beat down the coiton farmer ' and prop up the cotton specula- ( tor. The cotton farmer is * ' obliged to accept the price the : traders offer or make no sale at j nil. Perhaps this situation will j | continue every, year until many , of us are turning to dust in the Iovmetery, but that there is injustice to the cotton farmer and 1 a depression of the price of cotton until the producer gets away from the market goes without I saying.?Exchange. Emphatic Language in the Senate. Tort Mill Times Correspondence. Washington, April 15.?A sensational incident which occurred >n the floor of the United States Senate 24 years ago was recalled ;his afternoon by an old Capitol tlerk who had dropped into a eminiscent mood while discussng with The Times correspondent >n a stroll through Statuary Hall the public services of some of the country's great and near-great statesmen whose memory their respective States have undertaken to perpetuate with statues in the National Hall of Fame. Conspicuous among the statues for its towerin ? height is that of John J. Ingalls, formerly a Senator from Kansas, who was lost in the political whirl-i-gig some year? ago, and who did not long survive the shock of defeat. Ingalls was a fiery, brilliant orator whose speeches were always interesting, though frequently inaccurate. He was at his best when he deemed the occasion opportune for lambasting the South for what seemed to him a political sin of either amission or commission. His hatred for the Confederacy and those of the North whom he suspected of being friendly to it was as deep as perdition and as alack as the inside of a wolf's * * * * "wt* i i- m i I throat. LiKe tne iNigni iempiar n Scott's Ivanhoe, however, he finally met his master and was so completely discredited by showing a lack of one ot the first jssentials of greatness, courage, :hat many have since wondered low he could afterwards hold! lis head up or how his State | :ould deceive herself into beieving that he was worthy of epresentation in Statuary Hall. Twenty-four years ago, on May 1, next, the Senate of the United States was considering a resolution to investigate a Louisiina election in which the Republicans claimed that all manner )f fraud had been practiced by :he Democrats. Ingalls got the floor, and, being an intense Republican, he quickly proceeded ;o pour out the vials of his wrath ipon the people of Louisiana lecause they had refused to ?lect a scalawag-negro State fovernment. In the course of lis remarks he did not fail to >verlook the friendship of SenaiorDan W. Voorhees, of Indiana, 'or the South. After reading a etter which Senator Voorhees vrote in December, 1860, to a southern friend introducing a Dapt. Shoup "whose sentiments ind my own are in close harnony" with the righteousness of he Southern siae 01 tne lmpenang struggle between the States, ngalls thought it wise to declare hat Federal soldiers had threatmed to hang Senator Voorhees vith a bell rope on an Indiana rain for making a speech in vhich he had called Northern i .oldiers hirelings and Lincoln' logs and said that the soldiers )ught to go to the nearest blacksmith shop and have a collar welded around their necks on which should be inscribed, "My log.?A. Lincoln." Senator Voorhees denied that nehad made any such statement. With reference to Ingalls'charge that soldiers had threatened to hang him, Senator Voorhees replied: "Mr. President, the Senator is a great liar when he intimates such a thing?a great liar ind a dirty dog. Such a thing never occurred in the world. 11 *ay he is an infamous liar and scoundrel who says I made the 'Lincoln dog' speech." Ingalls .'at in his seat as calm md unmoved as if he had been istening to a roll call of the I senate, and it was easy to understand why, though he was one >f the most persistent revilers of :he South who ever sat in the lalls of Congress, he never ex- j posed his body to the bullets of I southern soldiers. / j Men and Brutes. Sometimes when we see what masses for men handling what ire generally supposed to be jrutes, we have some difficulty n determining which is really J ;he man and which is really the i jrute. Contact with lower ani-1 rials reveals the gentleman or j he brute in man. and also re- j /ealsthe better and worse nature ' )f the brute. We have seen men who never lave a kind word for a horse, whose idea of handling: a colt is \ hat of breaking: rather than ;raining, and who constantly ounish horses for their own mis;akes. Whiie there are some torses which like some men, are laturally vicious, speaking generally the horse reveals the character of the man who drives t. If he is a kind man and indiligent, the bearing of the lorse will show it. If he is a ; tervous man, the horse, accustomed for ages to the guidance )f man, shows it. We once saw i farmer attempt to drive a load of corn up an incline to unload at the elevator. The horses evi-1 ientl.v had no confidence in the judgment of the man, and balked, j A. man who knew horses asked the owner to give him the lines. He spoke to them kindly and encouragingly, and they went up without hesitation or a break. Men do not make enough of their horses. The horse is really the partner of the man in farming operations; and will give his confidence and accept his guidance, if the man knows how to inspire confidence and how to guide. The horse is naturally a timid animal, and will flee rather j than fight. Its timidity should be supplemented by man's courage.?Selected. FOR SALE? One Mule, weight 1,300 pounds, nine years old. Cheap for cash or satisfactory papers. A. R. McELHANEY. Sidna Allen Hikes Out. "All the newspaper correspondents have left Hillsville," said E. K. Meade, the correspondent for the New York World, who stopped over in Spartanburg Friday. Mr. Meade made a seventy miles scout with a posse of detectives and was convinced later that there was no immediate chance of a dapture. He writes as follows for the Journal: Asa matter of fact Sidna Allen has succeeded in his attempt to leave Carroll County. There is every evidence to show that he broke through the lines of the detectives two days ago, escaped through Mount Airy, N. C., and from there went west. Detective spys are hot on his trail and it is only a matter of time before he is captured. Sidna deserted Wesley Edwards before he left the mountains and the capture of the latter is expected at any time. Beloved Yorkville Woman Dead. Mrs. Nannie E. Walker, wife of Dr. Miles J. Walker, died at her home in Yorkville Saturday I morning at about 2 o'clock, after j an illness of about a week, aged, about 52 years. She was a' J Li r iU? a n Wullr. aaugnier ui me mic n. v. er and Mary A. Walker, and was born in that part of old Union t county, subsequently cut off to help form Cherokee. Mrs. Walker is survived by four daughters, Mrs. R. E. Sharp, of Kershaw county; Mrs. Edward Nesbit, of Lancaster county; Mrs. John Porter Hollis, of Rock Hill, and Miss Olive Walker, and by two brothers, Messrs. James L. Walker, of Cherokee county, and Sidney 0. Walker, of Gaffney. Dispensary for Chester? Persons here the last few days from various sections of the county have made varying reports as to the strength of the movement to vote the dispensary back, although the petitions asking for an election on the subject are being freely signed in almost every section of the county. It has been stated that there are already as many as twelve hundred names on these petitions, although this number will be considerably pruned down when the tests prescribed are applied. * * * It appears that the first skirmish has resulted favorably to the forces seeking to re-establish the dispensary, and there will no doubt be an election. The real struggle, which will be hotly contested, will come in November on general election day, when the Presidential race will be purely a side issue in comparison with this issue of such strictly local import.?Chester Reporter. 1912 a Great Year. The year is still very young. Only 15 weeks of its 52 have passed. In the more important parts of the earth nature has not yet fairly awakened. Yet young as 1912 is, it is already assured of a notable place among the years when great changes come and great events take place. The record of the year is being written large for all future generations to see. The ancient empire has broken down in China and an infant republic is strugglingtherefor life. The news has just reached the world of the discovery of the South Pole, though the event took place last December. The German elections have brought the greatest industrial and military empire of Europe face to face with new conditions and a ; new balance of power in its gov ernment. Great Britain is shaken by a strike so far reaching and menacing that it threatens the i very life of British industry and commerce. Mexico staggers on the brink of another revolution and possible anarchy behind civil war. The greatest of the world's | republics is making history fast. rr?i-_ A ? ,} I lilt; American uciuuviatjr ia altering its own conception of the methods of government to be sought and cherished.
