Thursday, Nov. 7, 1912.
When the election of Woodrow
Wilson seemed practically certain
Tuesday night, President Taft sent
i Governor W'ilson a telegram congratulating
him on the result.
Tho ripmnprflts have won the
greatest victory ever known. It 4
seems that 397 electoral votes are c
safe for Woodrow Wilson and *
Marshall, and the total may go to *
over four hundred.
Bamberg is one of the smallest 1
counties in the State, yet there are
nine murder trials for the term of c
court next week. More than twelve c
mert have met violent deaths in this (
county during the year 1912. t
,
We were in Columbia last Thurs- i
day, and of course we heard a little t
political talk while there, as is cus- ^
i
tomary during Fai-r week, and we t
were indeed glad to learn that our i
old friend, Geo. W. Dick, of Sumter, f
will likely be appointed chairman of i
the ways and means committee of ?
the next legislature. Dr. Dick is the ?
ranking member of this committee (
and the appointment rightfully be- >
longs to him in the order of seniority, c
and of course M. L. Smith, who will t
no doubt be re-elected speaker of the 1
house, will follow the rule and ap- a
point Dr. Dick as chairman. He has
made a very useful member of the c
ways and means committee and will ?
no doubt sustain his good record as ?
chairman.
Women Join in Mob Violence.
c
W.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4.?For
the first time since the carmen vent
qn strike, just one week ago to-day,
the women have taken a hand in the 2
1 v mob violence. This afternoon a party i
of about one dozen women stopped a "v
Riverside car, at the corner of Date s
and May streets, evidently for the I
purpose of boarding it. When the c
car had made a full stop, the women
commenced throwing bricks, stones \
and glass bottles. A hurry call was 1
sent for militiamen, but the women s
made their escape. c
To-day the Jacksonville Traction r
Company announced that they were t
willing to recognize a local union, but
positively would not recognize the t
Amalgamated Association. s
One car crew was attacked at the I
corner of Main and 11th streets this
afternoon, the motorman and conductor
having been stoned by a small
mob. Three shots were fired into an Oakland
car during the forenoon at c
the corner of Union and Washington (
streets, the assailants having hidden c
in a new building being erected at 1
that corner. J
Of the fifteen men arrested yesterday
for mob violence only one was r
fined in the municipal court this I
morning. '
At 10:30 o'clock to-night police re- C
serves were rushed to the extreme r
end of Main street, where a mob of
strike sympathizers were engaged in
tearing up the street car tracks. Two
members of the gang were placed un- j
der arrest.

Vaughn oeeds His Property. 1
Greenville, Oct. 30.?The public ^
records in the office of the Register 1
of Mesne Conveyance shows that on a
the 17th day of this month T. U. a
Vaughn, for a consideration of $8,- t
000 conveyed to Mrs. Ella Neves c
Vaughn the former's home on the t
north side of Carrier street.
The witnesses to the transaction i
were J. R. Loftis and Esten C.
Vaughn. The deed was probated Oc- t
tober 23 rd before Notary Public Jo- i

FOl*M> A SACKED LAKE.
jlolden Ornaments Kecovered from
Guatavita Shown.
Scores of antiquarians and others
interested in the races that inhabited
:he American continent before the
coming of the white man visited the
issemblv room at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel to see the relics recently
caken from the sacred lake of Gua:avita,
near Bogota, Colombia, and
brought to New York by Mr. Hartley
Knowles, of London, the New York
tterald reports.
The story of the finding of the relics,
which consist of gold ornaments,
emeralds and pottery, reads like a
romance. Ever since the Spaniards
conquered the Indian race that inhabited
the fertile plateau in Colombia,
efforts have been made to recover
treasures sunk in the lake each
rear by the Indians as a religious
rite. Spaniards undertook the task,
but draining the lake was too difficult
for them. Another determined
ittempt was made in 1823 by Capt.
3harles Stuart Cochrane, an Englishman,
but it ended in failure. In
1900 a British corporation was formed,
and it tunneled the mountains
ind drained the lake. It has now
aegun to mine the relics buried deep
in the mud.
Lake Guatavita is almost in the
center of the Great Andean plateau
:hat was the home of the Chibch
kingdom, composed of Indians who
ived by agriculture and who had a
civilized form of government. One
}f their cities, Usaquen, is said to
cave had more than a million inhabtants.
The Chibchas paid homage to two
?ods. The sun was the beneficent
ieity, and the antithesis of the sun
)r evil spirit they believed was a
luge serpent, which lived in the cen;er
of lake Guatavita and which when
mgered brought storms, drought
ind all the other evils which some
;imes afflict an agricultural popuia;ion.
Therefore, though they hated
:he serpent, they pretended to worship
him and sought to propitiate
lis wrath by gifts.
Four temples to the serpent stood
>n the bank of the lake, which was
inly a mile across, but very deep.
3nce a year a great feast was given
he-serpent devil. The chief cerenony
consisted of casting gold ornanents
and other precious objects in;o
the center of the lake, where the
jod could get them. The exact cen;er
was found by stretching two hide
opes in the form of a cross, from the
our temples. Rafts were then profiled
toward the center of the lake,
imid the din of musical instruments
md the cheering of the multitude.
Dne raft was occupied by the ruler,
vhose body was covered with gold
lust. When the precious objects
vere dumped overboard the ruler
limself jumped into the lake and
vashed off the gold.
The first Spaniards to visit the
country witnessed these ceremonies,
md the practice gave rise to the
Jnanich Ipjypnri El Dorado.
WIFE A SUFFREGETTE.
>he Insists on Working Instead of
Staying at Home.
Boston, Oct. 30.?Because she was
i suffragette and insisted on workng
for her living even after they
vere married, Edward H. Winter
:ought a divorce to-day from Maude
3. Winter, in the Suffolk county
:ourt.
"My wife 'could not be content
vith the home I provided for her,"
Winter told the judge, "and declared
he wasn't going to sit at home and
lo nothing. She said it was a wonan's
place to work as much as her
lusband did.
"In spite of my objections she obained
a position in a big department
tore. One day she disappeared and
have heard nothing of her since."
Winter obtained his decree.
t
To Lose Frank if She Weds?
Washington, Oct. 31.?A techniality
may deprive Mrs. Grover
Cleveland, widow of the ex-presilent,
of her franking privilege after
ler coming marriage to Prof. Thos.
i. ricsuuu.
The law which granted the same
ight to Mrs. Harrison, widow of ex3resident
Harrison, provides that the
'autograph signature of Frances F.
Cleveland or of Anna S. Harrison"
nust appear on all franked matter.
Too Much to Swallow.
Virginia, at five, was devoted to
3ible stories. She knew about Joeph,
and grandmother was preparng
her for the Exodus.
"You see Jacob, whose other name
vas Isarel, went down to Egypt with
lis children and his grandchildren,
md they married and had children,
ind they kept on increasing until
here were hundreds and hundreds
>f them. And they were all called
he 'children of Israel.' "
At this point Virginia interrupted
>olitely:
"Grandmother, if you say this is
rue I will believe it; but very few
>eople have hundreds of children."?

MORE TROOPS TO JACKSONVILLE
Governor's Orders Despite Protest
of Citizens?Strike Situation.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 31.?Despite
the fact that the city council
passed resolutions which were wired
to Gov. Gilchrist at Tallahassee, requesting
that troops be withdrawn
from Jacksonville, claiming that the
situation does not warrant their pres
ence here, the governor has ordered
more companies to proceed to this
city by first train, several of them being
scheduled to arrive to-morrovi
morning, including the companj
from the capital city.
Throughout the day petitions have
been circulated, which were signed
by hundreds, requesting that troops
be withdrawn. This movement on
the part of the city council and citizens
is a puzzling question, for or
Tuesday the police were unable tc
cope with the situation. Not a cai
was brought from the barns of the
Jacksonville Traction Company today,
and everything has been extremely
quiet about the city. Sol*
<l:2rs are guarding the company's
property, while hundreds of reserves
are held at the armory and in othei
buildings.
Four big army wagons reached
the city from the Black Point camp
grounds this afternoon, laden with
tents and cots for the soldiers. Nc
trouble is anticipated to-night, and
it is unofficially announced thai
street cars will be operated #in the
principal parts of the city to-morrow.
Briefs About Babies.
The peasantry of Greece firmly believe
that the future of every child is
determined by three fates, known as
the Moral. The trio is supposed to be
three old and wrinkled women who
dwell in a mountain cave, and who
come simultaneously to the house in
which a new baby has made its appearance,
says the New York Times.
In order that their aged and uncertain
feet may not be hindered, all
furniture is carefully set aside, and
honey, cakes, bread and wine arc
set out so that the important though
* motr rofroch thom.
ilivisxuie gucais may n-u von
selves. If the household is sufficiently
wealthy to possess a little real
money, this too, is placed on the
table with food.
All things, good and bad, are in the
hands of the three Fates. On no account
.must the child's beauty be alluded
to at the time when the visitor
might be present. To do sc
would cause its good looks to instantly
disappear. Nothing must be
said or done which might in any way
annoy or displease the Moral, and
this makes. the situation a bit difficult,
as no one is quite sure what
might or might not please them.
The idea that ill luck will be the
portion of the child who cuts its upper
teeth first, is found in several
lands. Among one or two African
tribes this superstition is so strong
that they regard it as a mercy to
? ? ~~~4-1.. Trill ornr /->Vii]rT TTTTTTPT
JJ1 Uiliy Li > rvni a.1?J .. uvuv ?X- i
teeth appear first and they do so.
Should a child grow up bad in China,
it is merely remarked that the
parents forgot to bind its wrists, alluding
to a very widespread superstition
that if a.red cord is tied about
an infant's wrist it cannot fail to
grow up quiet and obedient.
Spaniards lightly sweep the faces
of their children with pine boughs in
order to assure it a happy future. To
keep the Irish baby from harm a
belt of woman's hair is placed about
it, and with the same object the
Roumanian mother ties a red ribbon
around the ankles of her infant.
In Holland, garlic, salt bread and
steak are put in the cradle of a newly
born child, so that it may never
want for food during its lifetime,
and in order that the children of
Wales may always be protected, a
pair of tongs and a knife is placed in
each bed. In Iceland, the cutting of
the first tooth is celebrated by giving
to the child a tiny lamb.
Remarkable Meeting for Greenville.
Greenville, Oct. 30.?The most remarkable
gathering of a political nature
held in Greenville for many
years was the mass-meeting of the
citizens of Greenville county at the
Board of Trade rooms to-night, for
the purpose of formally and effectively
launching an independent candidate
for the office of sheriff of this
county.
The result of the gathering was a
unanimous indorsement of Mr. W. F.
Verdin, of Austin township, as the
indeDendent candidate to oppose Mr.
but will be announced later. Mrs.
utive office of the county. In the
meeting were men from all walks of
life. The mill operative, the farmer,
the clerk, the merchant, the mill superintendent,
the mill president, the
banker, the broker and the barber
were all represented. A more comprehensive
collection of men would
be very difficult to find.
The meeting was the culmination
of the opposition to Mr. Rector, because
of the part he took in the arrest
of Messrs. Gilreath, Gosnell, and
Phillips. The meeting was not extensively
advertised.
! THINKS IT IS VP TO ROOSEVELT.
Schrank Relieves that His Victim
Bears no Malice.
Milwaukee, Nov. 1.?Believing
1 that Theodore Roosevelt does not
I bear malice towards him, John
Schrank, would-be slayer of the
l colonel, expects to escape with a
s light sentence.
Schrank confided these expectat
tions to Bernard H. Gottschalk, who
i occupied a cell near that of the no
torious prisoner. Gottschalk is a
r former resident of New York.
' "Theodore Roosevelt is only human^
after all," Schrank said, accordj
ing to Gottschalk.
I "He was shot and has recovered.
> Now, that it is all over and he has
t had time for reflection, his better self
surely has concluded that I should
l be pitied and not condemned. When
? McKinley was shot he showed for'
giveness.
i "The entire case rests with Roose
velt. I know if he will come here
and speak for me and adopt a broad
view of the matter I will get a light
J sentence. His word will settle the
5 whole matter. I should think he
' would come here when the case is
tried."

Pastor Spends Night in Jail.
Patterson, N. J., Oct. 29.?The
I members of the Cedar Cliff Methodist
1 Episcopal church, Halodon, learned
> with astonishment that their belovi
ed pastor, Rev. Warren P. Coon, had
spent a night in the Passaic county
jail, at Patterson in order to obtain
1 material for his sermon, "The Man
i Behind the Bars."
Tlie church people were thrilled
with the talk of their pastor as he related
his incidents wlyle mingling
with the jailbirds.
"I went to the jail," said the
preacher in his sermon, "in order to
get a psychological aspect of prisoners.
It was a senastion that I did
not relish, and all during the night I
I lay awake? tossing restlessly on my
cot in the cell. Several times I had
'> the sensation of a man cautiously
creeping up to the bars and peering
' in. It was the trusty. Twice he re
peated the performance, and on the
. third visit he asked me:
t "Where did you come from? How
; long have you to stay old pal?"
? "The next morning I had him as a
' companion gt breakfast, and I tell
you I was hungry and relished the
not oversumptuous fare.
s "The jail is clean, but there is poor
light and in case of fire, what would
the poor locked-in people do? I
: dread such a calamity. I want to
? say at this time that there is need for
better institutions to take care of
i these unfortunates. We have fine li.
braries and fine schools; why not
? penitentiaries that should be moral
. hospitals? Men are not sent so much
: to the place for punishment as a pro
tection to society. The prisoners
should be given work to do and not
permitted to lounge around idly."
PLURAL AND SINGULAR.
We'll begin with box, and the plural
is boxes,
But the plural of ox should be oxen,
not oxes,
Then one fowl is goose, but two are
called geese;
You may find a lone mouse or a
whole lot of mice,
But the plural of house is houses,
not hice,
If the plural of man is always called
men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The cow in the plural way may be
cows or kine,
' But a bow if repeated is never called
bine.
And the plural of vow is vows, not
vine,
And if I speak of a foot and you
show me your feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair
be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are
teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
called beeth?
If the singular is this and the plural
these
Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed
keese?
Then one may be that, and three
would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose,
' - J ? ??i ? ? ? i /-wf not io nnta Tint.
ZiLlU Lilt? piuiai ul k/UI, vmvw,
cose,
We speak of a brother and also of
brethren,
But though we say mother, we never
say methren.
The masculine pronouns are he, his,
and him,
But imagine the feminine, she, shis,
and shim.
So the English, I think, you will all
agree,
Is the most wonderful language you
ever did see.

Travels of Two Casks of Wine.
If wine could- talk there are tw
casks of it which passed throug
Houston recently which would te
an interesting story.
This wine, consigned to a firm i
Baltimore, was aboard the El Sii
when that boat sank just out of Ga
veston sometime ago. Three days ag
the .casks were picked up by lifesa'1
ers of the United States lifesavin
station at Point Isabel near Brown:
ville.
They were brought to Brownsvil]
and turned over to the St. Loui
Brownsville and Mexico Railroad. .
A. Brown, general freight agent (
the line, ordered the goods shipped o
to the firm to whom they were ori*
inally consigned. The address of th:
firm was still visible on the cast
and there was no mistaking to whoi
they should be sent.
There is some doubt existing 1
the minds of railroad officials as t
whom the liquor should be checkec
It is the first case on record of good
