[aOAINST BLKASK AND TILLMAN. >V<?uld Ke?ard KImUoa of Kl(ber a* "Stupondouii Blunder" ' Mouday's /Charlotte Observer.) ? Should I fro ou the stump this sum wor I shall unl>esltatLngly say that I rt'^tt rd the election of either ex -gover nor Itlease or Senator Tillman as u 'stupendous bluuder,.." declared former United States Senator John L. Me baurln, of South Carolina, who arriW *Kl in Chatlotte Sunday from his home at Bennettsville. Thin declaration wag made In a fdgned statement furnished The Observer by the former senator at ihi> M<cl:U>nburg hotel last night, out lining ids attitude toward the forth turning gnliemtttorial and peuatoriftl races in Si'UlU Carolina, ? ?? -r '*? ' , ? His (ihnient h> full follows : "I i:iko I UIk method of reaching tho vari- us ikoplo who by i>etltlon and 4ettrr< have requested me to become ft cwviHate for governor. I promised na answer during the present aomh. At tbi# tltno I feel that I .eon peri.rm a hotter service by announc ing v learly my political views than by becoming a candidate for governor. Jt is probable after I do that many who would have supported me will not do *0, and that conditions will make Jt best that I should not run for office. It is evident that factioual lines are to Ik- drawn in the senatorial race and, whllo f believe that I could be elected toy nvokittfFf this issue, J do not want office on these terms. I have given the matter careful thought aud I want of$ ery1>edy to know before hand just 1k>w I stand. "In order to get the ware house bill made a law I had to re?kon: with the veto power of the governor^ and without the assistance of the t'ac^ tion (hen in ' power I could not haVQ< moved a step. ' I haw always recog nized this obligation and do not in tend to forget it. I would like to be in a position while I yet have the mental niifl pBy Tur^ tiier develop the state warehouse Sys tem by establishing difdet sale. I would also like to organize the ma chinery for state Insurance, not only for rot ton but for other property. I would like to see a1 budget system for approptlatlons sd W'to fbt individual responsibility for the waste of tax mo ney, such as is now going on in Soutti Carolina. I have made up my mlna, however, that I am not going to keep my mouth shut nor compromise my convictions for the sake of any office on earth. "Should I go on the stump this summer I shall unhesitatingly say th/A^I regard the election ol either ex nor Bleaso or ilehator Tillman as a stupendous blunder. So far as the state is concerned it will establish more firmly than ever the present factional lines, ami whoever is eleeted governor will necessarily have to line up on one side or the othetv This I abso lutely refuse to do. "Outside of the local issue the con ^uences are more far reaching. The attitude of Oovernor Bleasc before the war has been bitterly hostile to the present federaj administration. Every body who knows him understands hi s attitude towards the questions relat es to the war, and that, he will gp any length, once he. has the power, to ob [ struct the policies of Wood row Wilson. He is bold and has great ability in cer tain lines. His advent into the senate would greatly strengthen LaFollette and a 'little grpvp of willfttl senators' who are doing all In their^power Uf hamper the conduct of^ a war upon whose result, depends the future not only of America, but of mankind every- j where. I could not make campaign; speeches and dodge this issue. I can not by silence make myself a party to a national calamity of this character. ?Senator Tillman is incapacitated by physical weakness for the strenous work now required. . I am glad to be able to nay that I am sincerely sorry for this, and in spite of the unjost treatment that I received at his hands,, wore ho physically At to perform the duties, I would rise above personal re nentmertt and say that he should be where he Is. This talk abont dy tag-ln harness Is. all rot. A broken down horse 'dying In. harness* Is cruel* fv to animals; it U more merciful to. looson the traces, knock off the shoes and turn him out In the pasture 'to ruminate on things that have been, and are to be. It takes a strong horse to tote his side of the singletree in these Perilous days. It Is unfair to the bal ance of the team when the load is heavy and the pace so fast, to be han dicapped by bog spavin and heaves in an old horse which won't work at all he is in the toad. The work is 100 heavy now for a spike team though i that is thaa a horse that won't DR. BRAS1NGTON FOR MAYOR \ Announce# That He Will Seek to Serve City Again as Mayor. i ? s . ? Dr. N. F. Hru Kington, one of the leading physicians and former mayor of the city, make* the announcement tliln week that ho will enter the race for mayor of Camdeu lit tho March etoctiou. J>r. llraslngton has served tho city two terms ah mayor, holding tho of Oco for four years, am! made one of the best ofUclals the city has over had. Hlnee Capt, Shannon made the state ment that be would ?iot be a candl Otto many friends have approae-hed I)r, llraslngton asking him to become a candidate ami he Is yielding to their w lubes, Hoveral names have been mentioned' as probable candidates during the past week? among them being W. Itobln Zemp and It. T. Ooodale. Neither of these gentlemen would state positively yesterday whether or not tl>ey would enter the race. It Is very likely that Mr. W. 11. lV*arce will be a candidate for alderman In Ward Two. FOR STEALING DRABS ? : ? ? V Ne?roes Robbed Southern Engines and Sold Spoils to Junk Dealer. > ?? ______ Bert WiHtams, Jim Ballard *Hid George Letter, all negroes, with ages ranging' frOtn flfteeai to nineteen years were arrested this week by Chief Wiilt akef ^und.. placed in the county jail on the charge of stealing and soiling brass. Q ' Williams and Jim Ballard for the ? pa#t three weeks had been visiting the Spi^tfy^n} railway engines at the coal ing station near the old depot and {faking the extra brass boxings carried on nearly all railway engines. ? They would take these pieces of brass val ued at $12 to $20 and make sale of them to A. Karesh, a junk dealer on ton ytttfrrnr tt^anmu Karesh claims that he did not know the brass had becu stolen. The Chief of Police happened along soon after Karesh had weighed some of the pieces ami he told the names of the negroes and their arrest followed #oon. George Ivoster had robbed an alUtO* mobile belong to' Mr. Ernest Frietafe of its brass. The car was loedted In the Tvack of W. O. Hay's machine shop and the negro stripj>cd? it of all it contained. All throe negroes will be tried at the next session of court, In Honor of Young Soldiers. A dance in hon6r of the young men of West Wateree who have recently been drafted into the United State* army was given at the residence of Mr. C, B. Nettles, of Blaney', last Fri day night, the 25th. A large crowd was present and a. most delightful thaae was enjoyed by all present. WUl Preach at Concord. Iiro. W. O. Sttewart will preach at Concord Baptist Church next Sunday February^ 3rd at eleven o'clock A. M. and 7.30 P. M. try to pull, bite his mate and kick at everything in sight. "I am not going to help harness either team. What is the use? ? One-horse is not able and the other 'will not pull a load wfth Wood row Wilson as the driver, and wo can't get a new driver (even if we wanted to) for the next two years. It is a had plan anyway when you have to change drivers to suit a horse. My experience is that a horse more inter ested in kicking the driver oflLQie seat than in pulling the load won't work with any driver, and ?rfll make every horse in the team balky before be is through. 'Then, too, we now need gat* ling -guns instead of old rusty worn Hut pitchforks. X know this letter ..will of tpnd many of my friends and I regret it from the bottom of my heart but if they live long enopgb they will see that t am right, as they have found out be fore when they differed with me. I am gaylng what I feel to be my duty, and if every political friend I have turns against me, it win not be the 8 ret time that a sense of duty has left me alone without a party or political faction. I feel that I am capable of rendering good service to the people of South Carolina, but I am not going to dodge so impd \ant <*n issue in or der to obtain political support. I tfiu In the middle of the' road, unfettered by factional alignment of any kind. Those who desire to be of real service to South Carolina must be courageous and unselfish or our petty factional squabbles will continue to make us the laughing stock of the nation." Respectfully, John L BfcLsortak. IJPHKAVftL IN OBItMANY Half MUHsu Said To Bf On SWke Affecting r I ants. Transcend lug in interest oven the great victory vf live Italians over the Austrian* on the Northern Italian bat* tie front U the political and oconotnio situation in Germany, \ , y Here, apparently, a largo part of the couutry is in the throes of a great labor upheave!, due ?o dissatisfaction by the working classes over tho prog ress of the peace negotiation)* and in ternal political conditions generally. Throughout tin* country thousands upon thousands of the working classes, both men and women, huvc Ntrurk and "J$M* fftfeat manulacturies and industries Are affected. v Urn Ijh ^H>?c nearly huij' q n)U lion porsons are reported on strike and hourly those w1k> have quit work are receiving reinforcement^ Like wise in Kiel, the great ship yard ceu ter, at the Hamburg Iron Works and In the Rhenish West Phallan mine region workers have left their Jobs. Leaders, of the Socialists? both of the independent and the majority fac tions ? evidently are In oontrol of tho movement and for their pains a num ber of the independents have been or dered imprisoned. Hugo Ilaase, of the lndeiKMHlent*. and Phillip SChedemann, the Majority Socialist leader In the Rciehstag, are heading their respective j followers. . ? Advices received b.v way of Switzer land are to tKe effect that tho fcocial ists have delivered an ultimatum to the government demanding* the conclu sion o? a genera I ..peace without in demnities or annexations, participation by the workmen In peace discussions, amelioration of the food situation, tho right of public assembly, the release of all political prisoners and the In troduction of equal electoral suffrage by direct secret ballots. News concerning paternal trouble* in "Austria' is still scant owing to" the strict censorship. The latent informa tion received from Vienna is th's* there has been a great conflagration in the grain warehouses. In Finland, the trouble between the government forces and revolutionists continues to grow in extent. The revo lutionists is declared to have formed a government of their own. Ail South ern Finland is said to be in the hands of the Red Guard, while the govern ment forces in the north are asserted to have defeated and disarmed the rev olutionists at various places. The So cialist* have taken a hand in the trouble, having issued a manifesto de claring that the Finnish Government desires to rule the proletariat Although Finland has appealed to Sweden for military aid, such aid is no>t likely to t?e rendered. On the con trary Sweden apparently has shown its desire to keep atoof from the con troversy by closing the frontier. . The Italian success against the Aua trians in the mountain region of North ern Ptaly has been extended by the capture of Monte Di Val Bella, another dominating height on the Atdago plateau. An intensive artHlery duel is now hi progress along the entire front' Two Austrian divisions were almost completely wiped out during the fight ing for the height positions, and more than 2,600 prisoners, six guns and 100 machine guns fell ineo the ' hands of thq Italians. Mutual bombardments and small raiding encounters continue to feature the fighting on the other fronts, ?f f * To Be Here Next Week.

"No dollar can be too sacred ; no calling too high; and no 9acri0ce too great." The great cause of righteousness will triumph, he said, "and when the men return It will be the grandest welcome.
