I Spartanburg no doubt is the city of success, except when it comes to building an electric railway to Glenn Springs. - The governor is right in refusing to pardon John J. Jones who killed Abe Pearlstine at Branchville. However, he says he will reduce the sentence later, but he should not do this, for it is just, and Jones should congratulate himself that he got off sq light. In many States he would have been banged. Speaking of this matter reminds us that extensively signed petitions were presented asking for the pardon of Jones, yet he refused a pardon. Why does not the governor always act on his own responsibility in the matter of pardons, no matter how many petitions are presented? He did so in this ease, why not in others? ^ . A few weeks ago the editor of The Herald wrote President H. 1. Watson, of the S. C. Press Association, suggesting a mid-winter social and business meeting of the Association and a trip to Cuba afterwards. The x date should be along about the middle of February or the first of March when business is slack. The meeting might be held in Columbia or some central point from, which the start on the trip could be made, and our idea is that there need be no papers read and the session be only a day'or such matter, where the newspaper men and women could mingle in social intercourse and discuss informally matters of interest to the profession. Man}-' newspaper men, and women, too, have never been to Cuba, and we know of no more interesting trip. What say the brethren about it? Roosevelt Shot. Col. Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the breast by a fanatical would-be assassin in Milwaukee, Wis., Monday afternoon shortly after five o'clock. * The shooting occurred just after Colonel Roosevelt had left the Hotel Gilpatrick and stepped into an automobile to go to the auditorium in which he was to speak. There was a great crowd on the sidewalk and in the street waiting to catch a glimpse of him as he was leaving. As Colonel Roosevelt stepped into the car the crowd began to cheer, and while he was standing up waving his hat in acknowledgement, the would-be assassin wormed his way through the crowd up to within a few feet of the colonel and fired. Col. Roosevelt barely moved at the report of the pistol and did not change his attitude. -Mr. Martin, a stenographer with the Roosevelt party, captured and overpowered the man before he * could fire a second time,-and then Roosevelt protected the man from the crowd who wanted to lynch him. It has turned out that the name of the would-be assassin is John Schrenck, a New York laundryman. He told the police that he had been following Col. Roosevelt for' more than a month, and among other places had gone to Charleston, S. C., with the hope of catching his victim there. The man is evidently crazy on the subject of a third term for presidents, and is a Socialist as well. He was lodged in jail, and now says he ? is sorry he shot the ex-president. Votwitbstandinsr the wound. Air. Roosevelt went on to the auditorium and made his speech. Later he was carried to the hospital, and while the wound is somewhat serious, his condition is good and his recovery is expected. He never gave way any time, and laughed and talked with the physicians while they were examining him. The wound is in the breast, but the bullet did not touch the lungs or any other vital organ of the %ody. It's at Hunter's Hardware Store. MOTORCYCLE STRIKES CAR. J Rider is Thrown Through Wind Shield and Killed. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 13.?While speeding on his motorcycle at a rate of 50 miles an hour up the Atlantic boulevard late this afternoou, Frank J. Troncien, a barber and amateur motorcycle racer, crashed into an automobile driven by Thomas Palmer, the force of the compact throwing him through the windshield of the automobile causing almost instant death. Troncien had been spending the day at Pablo Beach and was en route to the city. The accident occurred as he swung around a car just ahead of him, evidently failing to see the car driven by Mr. Palmer bearing down on him. The automobile was filled with ladies, but none were injured. ?: Barnwell Baptist Association.

FoUowing a long distance telephone message received last night at 10:30 o'clock at the penitentiary, Guard J. C. ^tobbins left this morning with the blood hounds for Carlisle, S. C., where the hounds will be put on the trail of parties suspected of stealing cotton. No details of the cotton stealing could be learned today at the penitentiary. The mayor of Carlisle 'phoned the penitentiary officials, asking that the dogs be sent. J. C. Robbins, a penitentiary guard, who was sent to Carlisle, S C., early this morning with the penitentiarv dogs to put them on the trail of persons suspected of having stolen cotton, returned to the city this afternoon and stated that the dogs trailed a negro and that he was arrested in a corn field several miles from the town. The dogs trailed him for about three and a half miles. .... The negro is charged with having stolen cotton from the store house of Mr. W. H. Gist, mayor of Carlisle.? Columbia Record, October 12. 0 1 His Escape Was Timely. ? 1 When Frank King returned from the Spanish-American war he was asked to tell of some of his experiences, says the Kansas City Star. "How long were you in the hospital when you were shot?" he was asked. ' "Stayed just five days; couldn't stand it any longer." "Why so? Were you not well treated?" "Well, you see, when I went in there were six patients. The first day they buried one." "Well, what of that?" "Nothing; only the next day they buried another. I knew my turn would come in time. I went in on Monday, and I knew I would be carried out on Saturday. So I packed my knapsack and left on Friday. If I hadn't I'd surely have been buried on Sunday. Six days?one man each day. I couldn't stand that." BANDIT ROBS BANK. Lone Desperado Holds Up Cashier in Oklahoma. Prue, Okla., Oct. 12.?A lone bandit stepped , into the State Bank of Prue early to-day, held up Cashier J. H. Danner, stuffed into his pockets $2,000, all the money in'sight, seized a horse in a citizen's bam and fled. The owner of the animal, ";H. C. Burke, secured another horsfi, armed with a shotgun, started in pursuit. A few miles away he^sfaght the bandit, disarmed him and brought him back to Prue, where he was lodged in jail and the money recovered. The bandit refuses to give liis uauic.
