Thursday, July 3, 1913 South Carolina is certainly rich in her crop of June brides. Never were they more numerous and beautiful. They do say the reason the lid was on so tight during the press meeting at the Isle of Palms last week was because Bill Banks and Joe Sparks sat on the lid all the time. There was less politics talked at the recent press meeting than any we have known of for years. The news- I paper men evidently do not find it an interesting subject any more. 1 Well, we went to the press meeting but we didn't say a word about free passes. We nominated the "Rev." ( Joe Sparks for chaplain, ,but the steam roller squelched us so completely that we did not have the nerve to "move another motion." It certainly was a great pleasure * to meet our newspaper friends again at the meeting of the State Press Association last week. These gath- j erings mean a great deal to us social- J ly, and we feel that the friendships . formed at these meetings will endure for all time. 1 Editor W. H. Wallace, of the New- berry Observer, states that he has decided to cut out the press associa- ] mootincrc Wo v rPSTP.t hifi * ViVU ?? V w decision. Mr. Wallace issues a mag- 5 nificent paper, and his presence at the meetings is always an inspiration 5 to the brethren. He was missed at the meeting last week. Let us hope 1 he will reconsider his decision. ' Very few newspaper men, especial- 1 ly editors of weekly papers, can af- < ford a trip to Europe, so the next i best thing is to read August Kohn's 1 diary of a trip he and Mrs. Kohn took < through Europe last year. He has ] had these bound in book form, and 1 his many friends appreciated the < copies which he gave them at the i press meeting last week. i c The South Carolina Press Associa- ] tion may have some of these days a 1 handsomer president than Harry j Watson, but it will never get a more \ p-olripn-hearted srentleman nor one i who will be more faithful and earnest j in his work or who will be more atten- < tive and courteous to the members, j < His term of service ends with his j; being more universally beloved by j 1 the brethren than ever before. J j i. The Press Association of South Carolina could <and no doubt would ( greatly enlarge its sphere of usefulness to the members of the profession if the editors of weekly newspapers would take as much interest in the organization as the editors of the : dailies. At the meeting last week every daily paper in the State but one was represented, while numbers of the editors of weeklies were absent. With free transportation and board at $2.00 a day there was no excuse for their staying away. Speaking of a State ticket for next year, an ideal one to our mind would be composed of newspaper men, say something like this: For governor, Harry L. Watson; lieutenant gover nor, Ed. H. DeCamp: secretary of State, William Banks: comptroller general, Mason C. Bruson: superintendent of education, E. H. Aull; State treasurer, August Kohn. Under present conditions it would be a mighty fine thing to eliminate all factions in South Carolina and put in a set of newspaper men all round. They'd certainly make a record for the old State, too. Down in Charleston now they are closing up the blind tigers (or rather open bar rooms) at twelve o'clock at night and on Sundays. If they can close them at these times, why not all the time? Our good friend, Grist, of the Yorkville Enquirer, takes us mildly to task about the little paragraph in last week's issue in reference to the solicitation of Mr. Beard to Senator T ? - *?- - * V, .vicjuaunn 10 uecome a ccniuiuatc iui governor. Of course, as the Enquirer aptly remarks, if Senator McLaurin is nominated for governor he must receive a majority of Democratic votes, and if there is any considerable call or demand for him to become a candidate (and we do not believe he will be unless there is) it should and will come from Democrats and not from those who openly advocated the election of another than the Democratic nominee for president. That is all there is to it. That was a fine tribute paid Col. E. H. Aull. editor of the Newberry Herald & News, by Mr. Greneker last week, written and printed during Col. Aull's absence at the press association meeting. But it was deserved. Mr. Greneker wonders at the defeat of Col. Aull as county superintendent of education, and it is to be wondered at. We may be pardoned for saying that we brought up the same subject with our friend last week and we said to him that Newberry county and the cause of education were the losers, not him, for we imagine that it cost him consid 1? /MI 4- A f if erauiy xinjie man 11c svji, uui \jl h.. By the way, Col. Aull would make a fine State superintendent of education. CHILD DIES OF CRAYON POISON. Atlanta Girl was Seen Eating Colored Chalk on Friday, the 13th. Atlanta, Ga., June 25.?Mary Tribble aged seven, of Atlanta, to-day lost her long fight for life, physicians believing that her death was caused by eating tinted crayon at school. On June 13 she was taken violently ill and since that time had remained on a state of partial paralysis, with occasional feeble rallies. The case completely puzzled local physicians. The child's schoolmates said that they had seen her eat colored crayon. Anent the Gubernatorial Race. "We have great respect for Senator John L. McLaurin of Bennettsville, and we do not believe he will not listen to the siren voice of "Bull Moose" Beard and become a candidate for governor."?Bamberg Herald So have we respect for Senator McLaurin, lots of it, and we are quite well aware that the Herald thinks as much of the senator as we do; but we io not see a great deal of logic in the above remark. So far as "Bull Moose" Beard is concerned, we do not >ee that he has a great deal to do svith it, except that he has as much right to his views as has the Herald or the Enquirer. Although Mr. Beard vas closely identified with Governor Blease's campaign especially by the apposition, it does not appear that he s now doing "the power behind the :hrone" act, or anything of that kind, ind if he wants to put in his time Maying politics we are unable to see :hat he is doing any differently from athers who are exercising the same right and privilege. As to whether Senator McLaurin is going to be a candidate for governor, we do not inow; but we have seen indications :hat there are a great many other people besides "Bull Moose" Beard vho would like to see him get into the running, and if he yields at all, it is :air to assume that it will be as much ar more on their account than on ac :ount of Mr. Beard. Those who object to Mr. McLaurin. should remember that he cannot possibly reach the governorship, no matter what "Bull Moose" Beard may do, unless he gets a majority of the Democratic votes of the state.?Yorkville Enquirer. Took John I)'s Advice. Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller attended the children's day exercises in the First Baptist Church yesterday, and he had the satisfaction of seeing his advice about saving pennies carried to a fruitful end. The little girls of the primary class earned and saved their pennies for the Baptist chapel car, and when the bank was opened by the pastor, the Rev. Arthur T. Brooks, 130 pennies were found. Mr. Rockefeller appeared much pleased at the little girls following his advice. Some of the children stammered and forgot their lines, and Mrs. Rockefeller remarked that she thought these little slips by children were always amusing. This was the second time Mrs. Rockefeller had been to Church this spring. Mr. Rockefeller sent a wagonload of daisies to decorate the church. Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller will go to their Cleveland home this week for the Summer.?The New York Tribune. PROMOTER LEAPS TO HIS END. George Townsend, Wealthy Promoter, Jumps into the Mississippi River. Kansas City, June 28.?George Townsend, the wealthy Chicago railway promoter and brother of Congressman Edward Townsend of New Jersev, committed suicide by throwl ine- himself into the Mississippi river 'at Kansas City, Kan. This informa- j tion was disclosed tonight by the j finding on the river bank of Townjsend's hat, his coat and a note book containing a letter in Townsend's handwriting saying he would kill himself because he "feared the mad j house." Mr. Townsend, 62 years old, disappeared from a local hotel early Tuesjday morning. The note named his ! various attorneys or brokers and endled: j "I fear the mad house again. My : estates should leave enough for my jwife and others." George Townsend came to Kansas I City last Monday and was to have held an important business conference here Tuesday afternoon. Since ihis disappearance the police, squads of boy scouts and the mail carriers of |both Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas | City, Kan., have been searching for ;him. Mr. Townsend's family consisted of his wife and two sons, George, ten j years old, and Edward, aged six. Besides Congressman Townsend he had another brother, W. R. Townsend of IVenice, Italy. The police announced |that a search would be begun tomorrow morning for the body. TAIL NO LONGER WAGS. I Canine's Nature Changed When Fed Salt instead of Sugar. | I Good-natured Jack is "everybody's dog" in Sayville, L. I. It was discovered long ago that he is very-fond of candy. Sugar is a pretty fair substitute. and in going around his neighborhood Jack gets that trust product at many houses. The granulated is given him on a plate. A couple of days ago somebody gave Jack a plate of salt. He took one vigorous lap at it. At once his tail ceased its graceful wagging. It dropped limp, and, in a fit of sneezing, Jack cut circles around the room as if mad. Repentant persons put several plates upon the floor, but the plan wa3 vain. Jack's heretofore automatic tail was paralyzed from stump to tip. A local veterinary says it will never wag again. "It's been salted down to stay," says this scientist.?New York World. Picks up $10,000 Check. Some of the friends of Frank Hennessy, a broker, were congratulating him yesterday afternoon that in these days, when there is so little doing on the Stock Exchange and commissions are scarce and customers few, when temptation fell in his way he had the strength to resist it. Mr. Hennessy yesterday morning picked up a negotiable check for $10,000 in the lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria. Mr. Hennessy, whose office is in the hotel, had stopped at the marble water cooler, just to the right of the room clerk's desk, and taken from the rack one of the paper drinking cups which the hotel furnishes free. Often a person who has quenched his thirst neglects to throw his cup into the waste basket, so that when Mr. Hennessy saw something white on the floor just below the spigot, he thought at first it might be the remains of a sanitary cup. However, he stooped and picked it up, to find, to his amazement, that it was a check for $10,000 on the Bank of Montreal, signed by a man named Harvard. The draft was made payable to a person identified by three initials or "to bearer." The finder immediately sought Assistant Manager Stewart, who recognized the initials on the check as those of a Canadian stopping in the house. The latter was found sitting on a sofa reading his mail. He had not missed the check, though it had been at least ten minutes since he had taken a drink at the water cooler.? The New York Times. GIRL'S FIGHT WITH A SHARK. Played the 7 1-2-Foot Monster For Two Hours Before He Gave Up. Miss Ellen Knipe, of Philadelphia, a passenger, on the United Fruit liner Pastores, in yesterday, brought here and will take to Philadelphia with her a collection of lizards^, which she niftdp in the West Indies and Central America, says the New York Sun. Miss Knipe, didn't confine her attention exclusively to lizards. While the ship was in Port Limon she captured a shark that measured seven and a half feet. She declined all offers of assistance in handling the monster and she played the shark for two hours. She was nearly exhausted when the shark turned over and gave up the struggle. Then the sailors hauled him on board. SISSON STOPS CAR Demand for Transfer Ties Up Wash- C ington System. Washington. June 28.?Representative Sisson of Mississippi took a t< hand last night in the long fight capi- t< tal citizens have been making on the C street railway companies for univer- b sal transfers and tied up one of the L systems nearly an hour until a long a string of cars was stalled in front of 1( the White House. t1 The qonductor refused a transfer, V Sisson declined to pay another fare p -3 /vitA 1 V\\? f A V> anu liivneu lcuiuvai u* w After a long delay, which chafed G hundreds of home hurrying citizens, si the conductor announced the car a would stay there "until morning" unless Sisson paid.

Nashville, Tenn., June 27.?As a a result of a pistol battle between strik- p ing plumbers and strike breakers here J1 tonight Oily Riser of the strikers is 11 dead, with a bullet through his head, 0 while Clarence Kramer, a strike- c breaker, is suffering from a flesh ^ wound in the shoulder. The two fac- t tions clashed on Broadway and after a an exchance of rocks, pistols were Cl fired. When Riser had dropped at a the first volley, the two bodies broke j1 and ran in different directions. The 11 trouble is said to have grown more 0 pronounced as a result of the beating of Riser by strikebreakers Thursday ^ night. a D. T. Bensler and Clarence Kramer are under arrest, charged with murder, while Charles Miller is also being held in connection with the case. r Riser was instantly killed. The o suspects were arrested by detectives s; at their boarding house near the scene. g S "Movies" Search for Lost Girl. , h Boston. June 26.?A world-wide g search for Olga Ellis, six, of Revere, ' who was kidnapped last February by her father, John Ellis, has been insti- ^ tuted through the medium of moving . picture films, and whereever movies ^ are shown a striking likeness of the girl and her father will be thrown on the screen. ? The movement started in Cali- ^ fornia. With the pictures ore facsimiles of the police circulars containing descriptions of Olga and her father. Mrs. Ellis has arranged to have the pictures appear in the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands. F A Pitcher's Tragedy. A Connie Mack, who takes 'great pride in developingyoungpitchersand then prophesying how they will show f up in action, sent in one of his finds a in an exhibition game not long ago, f says The Popular Magazine. The C slaughter of the young slab artist was c pitiful to behold. At the end of the ^ second inning Connie was somewhat a peeved. ' e "What's the matter with you, l< son?" he asked the terrified young- f ster as kindly as he could?which was not remarkably kindly. b "I?I don't seem to be able to get c the ball over the plate," said the d pitoher, sadly. ti You're mighty right you can't get v it over the plate," observed Mack, g his peeved condition more aggravat- t! ed. "And I'll tell you why. Every ti time you start it over they knock it back at you." n Dod Not Take It.
