Thursday, Oct. 24, 1912.
South Carolina may need a newparty,
*but it does not need one headed
by Theodore Roosevelt.
Every Democrat should go to the
polls and vote on Tuesday, November
5th. ^Be sure to vote for the
congressman, as there may be a con- ,
test against Congressman Byrnes. ,
At the general election the propo- !
sition to issue a million dollars in
bonds to complete the asylum plant '
will be voted on by the people. We '
are against bond issues as a rule, and 1
we advise the taxpayers to vote '
against the proposed bond issue for 1
the State. 1
And our good old friend. Col. E.
H. Aull, was defeated for county su- <
perintendent of education in the pri- 1
mary held last week. He was ap- ]
pointed to this office some time ago 1
on the death of the incumbent and :
bad made a good official. We regret
that he was not elected. ;
W. P. Beard says he is supporting :
Blease for the United States Senate.
As Mr. Beard is secretary of
the new Progressive Party, it might
be pertinent to inquire how he expects
to go about draping the toga :
around the form of his "friend" the ;
i
governor, as Blease is still in the :
Democratic ranks and will be voted
for as the Democratic nominee for
governor at the approaching election.
Is it not about time the governor- was
repudiating Mr. Beard?
The Progressive party, headed by
Rnnspvplt. is organizing in
i U^VUVl V . V7 - ? w _
this State, and the white men in ,
t ' '
charge of its organization are working
hard to make a showing in the
coming general election. How any ,
South Carolina white man can vote
for Roosevelt, in the face of his past
record on the race question, is a
mystery to us, but there are numbers
of white men in South Carolina
who are going to vote for him. Let
us not be indifferent. It is the duty
of every Democrat to go to the polls
and vote. It is not only a duty you
owe to your State and cofffitry but
it is a sacred duty you owe to yourselves
and your children. Let it not
be said of us that we. through carelessness
and indifference, forgot the
trying times of reconstruction and
negro domination in South Carolina. ,
A glance at some of the leaders
of the Progressive Party in this
State should be sufficient for those
. of us who love South Carolina. Mr.
Sherwood Dunn, the organizer and
main guy, is a New Yorker who has
been living in. Aiken for only a
few years; W. P. Beard, the secretary,
was lately editor of the NewsScimitar,
a Blease newspaper published
at Greenwood, and a bodyguard
to Governor Blease during the
recent campaign; Albert Orth, one
of the Charleston leaders, is editor
of a German newspaper in that
city and was a strong supporter of
the governor during the campaign;
W. Boyd Evans, of Columbia, was
secretary to Governor Ellerbe and a
man who has run for office repeatedly
since that time, always being repudiated
by South Carolina Democrats.
Can a man who has the best inter
ests of the state at heart follow
such men? We do not see how he
can. We only mention the support
of Governor Blease by Beard and
Orth because they were such loudmouthed
partisans and because they
voted for Blease in the primary and
took an oath to support the nominees
of the Democratic party. Are they
doing it?
1
Charleston does not want hors<
racing in that city interfered with
and that county went for Peeples fo
attorney general. Is Charleston t
openly override the law of the State
We hardly think such a course wil
be allowed, and we have a bette
opinion of the attorney general-elec
than to think he will sit quiet and le
Charleston do as she pleases when i
comes to a violation of the ac
against race track gambling. How
ever, the future will show.
We are very much pleased that th
governor has put a stop to the prac
tice of many sheriffs rushing prison
ers to the penitentiary. In the firs
place it creates a needless expense i:
many instances when there is littl
or no danger of violence to the pris
oners, and then it creates a sensation
for the papers, of course, print ac
counts of the transfer of prisoner
and allude to the danger of lynching

not perform their duty they shouh

will.
" Wofford College Notes.
Spartanburg, Oct. 21.?Mr. Editor
if you will give me a little space ii
your paper I wiir try and give yoi
an idea of what we are doing at dea
old Wofford. As there has been s<
mflch in the papers this fall abou
hazing at the various colleges am
of incidents where many boys wer<
unmercifully treated and even a fev
killed, it has become a serious mat
ter with parents as to which colleg<
they shall send their sons to. Wof
ford has never had the name of be
ing a college for hazing. Some hav*
heretofore attributed this to the faci
that Wofford did not have a dormitory
and consequently the boys coulc
not get into such groups, while others,
who know the institution better
said that it was because Wofford hac
such gentlemanly young students
that they would not lend themselves
to such ungentlemanly conduct
\*ow since this year Wofford has z
dormitory?and let me say that il
stands second to none in the State
or even in the South?Wofford students
have proved that the latter interpretation
was right. And ever
though there are four hundred anc
Bighty-two students on the campus
and over one hundred of these art
new ones, there has been practical^
no hazing done this year. The firsl
night that we collected in this hal!
which bears the name of that greai
and good man, Dr. James H. Carlisle,
Dr. Snyder made a very force
ful talk to the old students and urgec
us to adopt the "student govern
ment" plan. He then made a shor
talk on hazing, and pointed out the
utter follies of the Sophomores taking
the advantage of the new mer
and subjecting them to cruel treat
ment. At the conclusion of his tall
we unanimously adopted the plan o:
"student government," and- since
then have proved to the State thai
there is at least one college where
parents can send their sons withoui
having any fear of them being mis
treated.
The class baseball games have jus1
come to a close, and all the classes
had very good teams. For a lonj
time it was difficult to say whicl
class would win the trophy cup, bu
the Seniors finally came out victori
ous. All the classes are now bus:
practicing for the football ' games
Although Wofford is not allowed tc
have a varsity football team there is
much effort put forth in the class
games, a fact which shows that Wof
ford could have a strong footbal
team if she was allowed to.
All the students are now looking
forward to the Spartanburg count:
fair, which commences October 29th
Although many of us are denied th(
pleasure of attending the State fair
we enjoy this county fair to the full
est extent.

JAIL DELIVERY IN COLLETON.

jail, escaped some time in the earl:
night, leaving behind them no tract
to indicate where or by what mean:
they went.
The manner in which this jail de
livery was effected is shrouded ii
mystery. The prisoners in the jai
were all fed as usual by Sheriff Fo:
Sunday evening about 7 o'clock ant
carefully locked up for the night
About midnight the sheriff wa
aroused by a call from th<
jail and on investigation hi
was informed by the other pris
oners that the above mentionet
could not be found. Deputy Sherif
Benton was telephoned for, and to
gether they went through the jail
and everything was found as it ha(
been left. The only theory as to thei:
escape is that they were assisted b:
their friends and were provided witl
duplicate keys. All the doors wer<
found securely locked. No trace cai
be found as to their whereabouts.

Washington, Oct. 21.?Nearly de1
capitated as the result of an automobile
accident, Alexander O'Shea, ?
I civil engineer, lies to-day at o loca'
r hospital near death. Mr. O'Shea
. who is connected with the governi
ment gun proving grounds at Indiar
, Head, was driving his car rapidlj
- through the navy yard last night
when he dashed into a rope stretchec
across the road. The rope caughl
him beneath the chin.
That his head was not torn fron
his shoulders was due to the slackness
of the rope and to the quick action
of a friend in the tonneau whc
f sprang forward and reversed the en
gine. O'Shea was hurried to the hos7
pital where 17 stitches were taken ir
his throat. Later he recovered con3
sciousness but his vocal chords ap3
peared paralyzed.
His Wasn't the Only One.
