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

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." {

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.

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

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.
