Thursday, October 1, 1908 When are we going to get to work and build that cotton warehouse? ra i. The Republicans are on the run, and the chances ror uemocrauc success get brighter every day. Bryan is making a winning campaign this year. We trust city council will soon pass V' an ordinance prohibiting dogs from runing at large on the streets. They have gotten to be very much of a nuisance. !The working man in the North and East ought to vote the Democratic ticket this year. The Republican . paTty has shown him what it will do for him in the way of prosperity. The odor of fried fish on lower Main street is something fearful these days. We would appreciate it very much if city council would make these negio restaurants move to side | Btreets. Bamberg is not going out trying to induce people in other counties to \ vote themselves into this county, but if they come they will be heartily welcome, and we can offer superior ad g g vantages. If Bryan is elected we believe the price of farm products will go up. The farmer and laboring man of evlyvl ,ery section of the country have nothing to hope for from the Republican 5/ party. We want Congressman Patterson .to see if he cannot get a postoffice 1 building for Bamberg during the next two years. We made no kick on Aiken's public building, as it is the largest town in the district, but it is |?- Bamberg's turn next. 1^' If the C. C. & O. Railroad is built from Columbia to Charleston, we !% Bamberg folks must wake up and in-4 duce it to touch this town. We need better railroad facilities, and we must take the initiative in order to better our condition. This newspaper will take the matter up in earnest at I'; the proper time. We understand that the people of Warren and Broxton townships in WC Colleton county are agitating the matVr ter of voting themselves into Bamberg county. While we do not care to ,be put in the position of trying to trying to make people in other counties dissatisfied, still if they want to come with us they will be welcomed. / V : We understand there is a movement on foot for Blackville township, in Bajnwell county, to come into Bamberg also. Bamberg county will be glad to have all these people should they care to come, and we believe it I will be to their interest to do so. . Cuts His Throat in Jail. Branchville, September 23.?Michael Grimes, husband of Lizzie Grimes, who stabbed Gene Smith to death Monday, was arrested early this morning as an accessory to the deed. About 3 o'clock this afternoon he tried to commit suicide in the guard house by cutting his throat. He cut his windpipe, just missing the jugular vein and artery. The weapon used is supposed to be a knife, but no weapon was found in his cell. It is not known how he procured the weapon. He is still in a critical condition. m Marshal at North Killed. Gov. Ansel received a telegram last night about 10:30 o'clock from North, a small town on the S. A. L. south of Columbia, to the effect that the town marshal had been shot and killed by some unknown party. He was asked to dispatch bloodhounds if possible. Gov. Ansel immediately got into communication with the penitentiary authorities and Mr. John C. Robbins left here on the 11:45 train last night with four of the penitentiary bloodhounds for the scene of the crime. There had be%n a light downpour of rain for several hours and Mr. Robbins said this might interfere with the dogs in tracking the perpetrator of this crime.?The State, Monday, Sept. 28. SULLY HAS QUIT GAME. Declares He Has Forever Abandoned Speculation. New York, September 23.?Daniel J. Sully,who twice won and lost the crown of "Cotton King in. Wall street," has resigned the presidency of the Cerro-Colorado Mining pompanv and gone to work as a clerk for Harden, Stone & Co., to give their clients the benefit of his experience. Mr. Sully's new office is at No. 25 Broad street, just across the narrow exchange place from the dismantled offices of the Cerro-Colorado Mining company. "I am through with speculation forever. I know that the new life is directly opposite to that opinion of me which the general public formed from following my past operations. I know that I was the pioneer of advertisiing my operations in direct appeals to the people. But I know that I never did an act that was not honorable, "" T ?511 ?~ +V? aw o ana 1 Will I1UW SIIUW luciu men, ?, speculator can quit." In 1904, before his fortune came tumbling about his ears in the great cotton crash, he ranked among the very rich men of the country. It was i hard to estimate his wealth, but he certainly was worth at least $5,000,000 and perhaps $10,000,000. He made hundreds of thousands a day when he was the cotton king, and the world of finance bowed to him, as one of its foremost leaders. Sully's salary in his new office has not been announced, but perhaps $10,000 a year would be a nearly correct guess at it. Cures Skin Diseases. The combined medicinal, antiseptic and emollient properties of tetterine, purify and preserve the skin; and will permanently cure longstanding cases of Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, Chaps, Chafes, Ground Itch, etc. Endorsed by leading physicians and druggists. 50c at druggists, or by mail, postpaid, from J. T. Shuptrine, Savannah, Ga. Bathe with Tetterine Soap, 25c cake. NOTED FEUDS IN POLITICS. Personal Quarrels Which Have Affected the Election of Presidents. T 1 ?? '? noronn o 1 nilflr instances ill vvuivu (fi/iauuui v?v.v?. rels have affected the election of presidents are familiar to all. Mr. Cleveland himself had his encounters with ex-Senator D. B. Hill, and in 1888, when Hill was elected governor of New York and Cleveland was defeated for president, it was suspected by many that the differences between these two Democratic leaders had brought about this mixed result of t;he polling. Twenty years of bickering between Conkling and Blaine terminated in the latter's defeat for the presidency in 1884. In the meantime Conkling had been forced from public life, and he did not lift his voice against his old antagonist. He merely declined to speak in his favor, saying. "I am not in criminal practice." When election day came, however, it was found that Blaine had lost enough votes in Conkling's native county of Oneida to lose him the electoral vote of New York and the long-coveted presidential chair. Charles Sumner's quarrel with Grant did not cost the general his re election, but it contributed maienauy toward the development of the liberal Republican bolt in 1872 and the campaign of Greeley. Nothing in all Grant's career so disturbed his equanimity as the hostility toward him on the part of the Massachusetts senator. The very day after the rejection of the president's pet project for the annexation of Santo Domingo under Sumner's leadership, the latter's friend, John Lathrop Motley, was dismissed from his post as American minister in London, and Senator Hoar has described Grant as shaking his fist at the mute, unoffending walls of the house in which the senator lived. The angry estrangement drove Sumner from the Republican party, brought upon him again his old heart trouble and hastened his death, brought upon him again his old heart trouble and hastened his death. Van Buren's factious revolt from the Democratic party, when it failed to nominate him for a third time, was so destructive to party success that his followers were called "barn burners," and likened to the fabled farmer who burned his barn to rid it of rats. Another noted schism with farreaching influences was that which divided Jackson and Calhoun. Aris* ? X il _ 1 ing over a personal incident, it pmyed its part in the nullification plan which brought South Carolina on the verge of secession in the thirties, and cutting off Calhoun from the hope of the presidency, restricted his career to his state and did much to inspire and confirm his extreme dogma of state's rights. The acrimony between Hamilton and John Adams was involved in the downfall of the Federal party.. It disrupted Adams' cabinet and deprived his administration of the indispensable support of the great Federalist. ?Boston Globe. , Ah Attempt to Lynch. Saluda, Sept. 25.?The negro Will Herrin, who recently killed Mr. Emanuel Carver in this county and who has been in the hands of Sheriff Sample since the evening of the killing, barely escaped the hand of a mob here last night. A party of men. variously estimated at from 50 to 100, came to Saluda late last night with the evident purpose of getting Will Herrin and lynching him. A short while before the crowd reached Saluda Sheriff Sample received a hurried call over the long distance telephone and was informed that a crowd was coming for Will Herrin. He immediately took the negro from jail and hurried away with him. It is not known where he carried him last night, nor is it known to-day. The crowd drove within one mile or Saluda and in order to cut off communication from Johnston or Wards severed the telephone line, taking out some 50 feet of it and carrying it out ! in the woods. Then the representatives of the would-be lynchers came into town, found that the sheriff had already been informed of their movement and carried the negro Herrin to a place of safety. THE LIQUOR QUESTION. Different Proposition in Nearly Every State in the Union. Chicago, Sept. 22.?In one respect at least this year's national campaign is easier for the Prohibition party. It was declared at the national headquarters to-day, than for the Republican or Democratic. It doesn't have to change its face nearly every time it crosses a state boundary line, or open a fresh "can" of talk. Both; of the old line parties are up against | a hard proposition, say the Prohibi-j tionists, in that their campaign spell-1 binders have always to remember to hand out the right kind of mono-! logue in each state. This because in; different states each old party de-j clares for different things?has dif-i ferent stands on the liquor question?! prohibition here, local option there, i hip-h license, or something else else-! where. For example if a campaign orator for either old party were to cross the country from coast to coast, starting from California, he would have to bear the following in mind and blow his tune accordingly: In California both parties oppose prohibition, being afraid of alienating the wine growers, yet E. W. Chafin the Prohibition presidential candidate, is said by state party managers to have a chance of carrying the! state. ' In Nevada everything is wide! open. In Utah local option is the ruling sentiment. Colorado has a Methodist preacher as chief executive under Republican rule?Governor Buchtel. Part of the Kansas Republicans are for prohibition, which rules in the state, but part are for nullification, while the Democrats oppose prohibition and stand for resubmission. Just to the South if the speaker went out of his direct route, the Oklahoma Democrats, led by Governor, Haskell, are for prohibition, while the Republicans are against it. In Missouri, if the speaker were a Democrat and were to forget that Folk's term which has meant strict enforcement of local option and Sunday closing, was coming to an end, and that the new candidate of his irao Viq/iVoH hv thp P?rt.V V.'U*VIlClUt v* ao wuvi' y VA WJ vMw solid liquor interests of St. Louis. Kansas City, he might get himself into hot water by springing the wrong talk in the big cities. Or, he might get out in the country where the Democrats of seventy-seven counties favor prohibition. On the other hand Hadley is leading the Republicans for advanced county option. In Illinois both parties stand for the saloon. The Republicans are for county option in Indiana, while the Democratic candidate for governor has declared that if any man believes in prohibition he ought not to vote the Democratic ticket. Ohio Republicans are for county option, the Democrats for high license. Pennsylvania Republicans favor the license system as do the Democrats, only more strongly. It is the same in New York. Massachusetts Republicans are for high license and local option and the Democrats are for straight license. In New Hampshire the Democrats oppose prohibition, as does the Republican maoiiinp hnt nnt the Renublican ilVUU UIVtVJUAuv^ M V.V ? 1 voters, as shown by the steady decline of tne license vote in the last four years. While down in Maine the Republicans claim to favor prohibition, but during the campaign, little or nothing was said about it by their speakers while the Democrats attacked it. Thus it will be seen, say the Prohibitionists, that both parties' men would have to keep busy thinking where they "were at" while the "dry" candidate could travel through delivering the same speech in every state and offending no member of his party. A list showing how the tenets of the old ' party change their color chameleon-like in the different states follows: The Republican party stands straight for the license system in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin. The Republican party stands for prohibition in Maine, North Dakota, and Kansas. v The Republican party stands for local prohibition or county option ^n Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Washington. In West Virginia the Republican party pledges the people to submit a prohibition referendum. The Democratic party stands for prohibition in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Mississippi, and stands for the submission of prohibition in Texas, West Virginia, Washington and Arkansas. The Democratic party stands for high license in Maryland, Florida. It stands for high and low license in Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, California and Oregon, and strongly opposes prohibition in. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Kansas, Illinois, and Missouri. In Illinois the United Societies endorse both the Democratic* and Re publican party as friendly to personal liberty and the brewers' interests In Ohio Boss Cox controls the saloon vote of Cincinnati for the Republican ticket. ^ In New York Tammany votes regularly a big liquor strength for the Democratic ticket. In Pennsylvania Penrose has the backing of the dominant saloon interests of the state. In Tennessee the Democratic machine headed by the governor, is against prohibition, while almost half the party are heartily in favor of it. In Iowa Governor Cummings is considered "safe and sane" by %the Mulct law saloon keepers of the state. In Missouri, Governor Folk in the Democratic party, has enforced the Sunday closing law during his term, while the new Democratic candidate for governor is solidly backed by the saloon interests of St. Louis. In Kansas the Republican assistant attorney general of Kansas City is being persecuted by the Republican City Committee of that municipality. National Prohibition Chairman C. R. Jones to-day said that the personal canvasses being made by Mr. Chafin and Aaron B. Watkins, the vice presidential candidates, are winning votes for the party by the hundreds. Republicans and Democrats alike admit that great credit must be given these two standard bearers of the "dry" campaign as men of most unusual force, untiring energy and political fighting qualities unexcelled. Indeed it is said that in this pair of chieftains the Prohibitions have two men of the Rooseveltian type of forceful character and love for work. Chafin especially is an extraordinary campaigner, not only commanding respect everywhere through his terse, powerful presentation of his views, but gaining friends by his charm of manner and magnetic personality. The way in which he wins hundreds over and enrolls them under his banner may be likened to the way in which men volunteer for some great war leader and follow him gladly into the fray, unmindful of whether it is a glorious victory or a still more glorious defeat, caring only that the cause is right. This personal quality which has infused itself into the Prohibition campaign has no rimiht 2Teat.lv swelled the interest in the country and indeed, the world, already took in the war against the saloon.
