Thursday, Nov. 13, 1913. ? f- V 4 It is certainly a dull day these times when a new political rumor does not gain publicity. A physician in New York got drunk the other day as a scientific experiment. Its strange what sacrifices some men make for the cause . . of science. Of course it was very nice for a few politicians to meet in Columbia and parcel out the State offices for next year, but we rather think that the voters will have something to say about it in the primary next summer. Political slates have been 4^getting smashed in South Carolina recently, and the people are likely to do some smashing again next year. KX. ' The railroads won out in the mileage matter before the inter-state commerce commission, but this does not mean that the figh,t is ended by a long ways. If the next legislature will do its duty it will pass a flat two cents mileage rate, so that everybody can ride at the same price, no matter whether they are going ten or one hundred miles, his is the best solution of the matter after all. We are republishing in another column what we consider a spiteful paj-agraph from the Florence Times in reference to the candidacy of Hon. Chas. Carroll Simms, of Barnwell, who has announced his candidacy for governor. We regret that the Times saw fit ^o make such a comment. Mr. Simms is an able, clean man, whose ability as a lawyer and character as a higli-toned gentleman is not questioned wherever he is known. Such spiteful flings at gentlemen who enter politics do 110 good and give the public a poor conception of the ideas of fairness and justice of newspapers generally. Grooming Another Candidate. I Spartanburg, Nov. 9.?A canvass of the most prominent supporters of Gov. Cole L. Blease in Spartanburg, prompted by the published report . the the Governor's leading lieuten* ants here had asked former Senator McLaurin to reconsider his intention not to run for Governor, disclosed the^ fact that the principal Spartanburg Bleaseites are not entirely satisfied with any of the candidates in the field, but have another man in mind whom they believe would not only make an ideal Chief Executive, but would be acceptable to the opposing faction of the South Carolina Democracy. He is Associate Justice Rich* ard Cannon Watts of the Supreme Court, a resident of Laurens. The origin of the McLaurin story was found to be this: An enthusiastic admirer of Mr. McLaurin sent him a telegram, asking him to reconsider his withdrawal from the race, and signed it, "The people of Spartanburg." One of Blease's lieutenants here, who was not knowingly talking for publication and whose name is there lyre yy lumciu, oaiu no vu u uu0^ Watts was the one man who could heal the breach between the Bleaseites and their political foes. The man who was doing the talking would not ordinarily be suspected of desirs ing to heal the breach. Judge Watts, it is said, seriously considered, five months ago, entering the race for Governor, but is said to be reluctant now to do so. Next Thursday week is Thanksgiving Day. If there is any movement on foot to close the business houses for the day, we have not been advised of it. rXDKK UGLY CHARGE. Wealthy Oriental Accused of Violat- j ing; the Mr. 11 n Act. Seattle, Wash., Aov. 11.?Harry i'oy, a wealthy Americanized Chinanan, is under arrest on charges made ? by Special Agent William R. Bryon, of the department of justice. He is f accused of violating the Mann Act in making a slave or' Goddell, IS i years old, daughter of the Kev. T. G. v ? Goddell, a Portland, Ore., clergyman. , Toy today was arraigned before Uni- t ted States Commissioner W. D. Tot- a ten and remanded in default of $5.- s 000 bail. q Toy, prominent in Chinese-Ameri- c can activities here for many years, r created a sensation three years ago 11 when he married Christie Goddell, Q a worker in a Portland mission. Soon o after the marriage Toy's wife died o and her sister, Goldie, grieving over s Mrs. Toy's death, entered a convent. 0 Government agents alleged that s Toy induced Goldie Goddell to leave o the convent and come to Seattle to live with him. Soon afterward, it is said, he placed her in a resort. Special Agent Bryon said he had c evidence that Miss Goddell tried to ^ escape, but Toy caught her and brought her back, tellng her that if fi she ever left him he would notify ^ Chinese Tongs throughout the coun- ^ try and she would be sent back to p him or killed. YVofford Students Suspended. d f The incessant and pathetic appeal P of the students of YVofford college "to give up fraternities" received a sol- a emn and severe blow yesterday wnen Ralph Carson, Jr., Lemuel Grier, An- C! sel Calvert and Donald Sanders, well known young men of this city, and "Tursch" Gray, "Raz" Gray, Jim A Wharton, West Summers and Wallace Bethea, members of the Senior _ and Junior classes, were summarily suspended from the college, following a lengthy session of the faculty. It is alleged that the yming men in question were affiliated with the a. Kappa Alpha fraternity under the d charter enjoyed by the College of ^ Charleston; that the young men e; were initiated into full membership a of the "frat," greatly to the humili- ^ ation of the faculty, who have per- d sistently opposed every effort to re- ti establish fraternities at old Wofford. ii It was decreed that the young men *3 might reenter Wofford on January 19, rr provided they resigned their member- g ships; but it is understood that when K a member is taken into a secret fra- E ternity he is to stay until death j or disgrace takes a hand. There is q no such thing as resignation. R The friends of the boys feel that J the faculty has made a big-to-do over ^ a small matter, and efforts are being made to have the boys reinstated at ii once. Op the other hand, the faculty ^ stands firm in its opposition to se- ?' cret societies, and will do so until e the board of trustees gives its sanction otherwise.?Spartanburg Journal. JJ c; Pretty Girls Pick Cotton for Church. <3; s; Atlanta, Nov. 6.?How the pretty o girls of a suburban Atlanta church *1 went into the cotton fields and picked j cotton to lift the debt from this in- 0 stitution was learned with surprise ? this morning. Curious autoists ridimg through , Oakland City shortly after breakfast A happened to look toward the broad acres of Farmer A. P. Morgan, white ~ with the fleecy staple, and then they g j rubbed their eyes and looked again. P ! Instead of the ordinary negro field hands, the fields were swarming with o rosy-cheeked girls and buxom mat- o rons. working industriously, darting ~ hither and thither like experienced g cotton pickers. - & It turned out they were members "" of the Ladies' Aid society of the Oak- n land City church. It occurred to them C that at this season of the year they ~ could make more money for the ^ church debt by picking cotton thau V by holding "sociables" and sewing b circles, so they set to. Not many of them were accustomed to the hard e work, and some fell by the wayside ? as the day progressed, but for the _ most part they expressed a determination to stick it out through the day ^ and return tomorrow. In addition to the regular pay of 50 cents a hundred r, pounds given to all pickers, prizes were offered for the lady who picked t the most in a given time. d AN AMATEUR ROBBER CAUGHT, * Clerk Takes $100 to Pay Bet and Locks Himself in Trunk. b New York, November 6.?After ? i] losing an election bet of $100, and ^ finding himself unable to pay it, Jos- v eph Cohen, a fur importer's clerk, pil- " fered the amount from his firm's safe, according to his alleged confession to the police today, and then locked t himself in a trunk in an effort to v stage a robberv in which he was to play the role of victim. A member > of ithe firm, who rescued Cohen from c the trunk after the supposed robbery, f thought it strange that the "thieves" . left behind $75,000 worth of furs and had Cohen arrested. ACTS ON THE LIVER. >o(lson's Liver Tone Livens Up the I Liver?Is More Than a Mere Laxative. Calomel was for years the only j cnown medicine that would stimu-1 ate the liver. But calomel is ofteu i lan?prnns and nponle are not to be ! >lamed for being afraid of it. Within the last few years many nedicines have been put out to be tsed instead of calomel, but their iffect is on the bowels?not on the iver. Peoples Drug Store says that he only real liver medicine to actu.lly take the place of calomel is Dodon's Liver Tone, a mild, harmless, egetable liquid that Peoples Drug Itore recommended to take the place ?f calomel and which gives prompt elief in cases of constipation, bilDusness and sluggish liver. So confident are Peoples Drug Itore that they give their personal ;uarantee with every 50-cent bottle f Dodson's Liver Tone. You can be ure that you are getting Dodson's iy asking at this store if they are ;iving you the medicine they peronallv guarantee to refund money n if unsatisfactory. RESOLUTIONS.
