Thursday, Nov. 11, 1915. *y^? ? ' ' fWe do not think that the moral, social and financial status of the city ^ ; y has been injured to any marked degree by the failure of the carnival to pitch its tents in Bamberg this ' week. We wrere not aware that >y there was a law placing a prohibitive |y license on carnival shows, but we congratulate the officers for finding it - out and for enforcing the law. We nonriAt nn/larcfonH h/\movor VirkTL* it ;> VHUUW!, .. ??, * |f; / ' *s that there are carnival shows all rjJ' * over the State at this time. They should not be allowed to exhibit any; . where, and if there is a law placing aft?. a license of $1.00 er day on such jkfp'J shows, it ought to be enforced everypp ^.where in the State. Recall elections are becoming popj|; P ular in this State. Attempts are now ? v being made to recall certain city of ficials of Columbia and Spartanburg. ^;v We suppose the recall is all right, but if the voters would use good com5 ". mon-'sense in electing officers, v. it Ip-v - would seem that the recall would be! B|:. / unnecessary. It is an easy matter to' pV : Investigate candidates and vote for ||a;- the best men. The trouble is about ^ nine voters out of every ten vote for K ; a certain candidate because he is a good friend, or a good friend to a friend of the voter, without regard |k to the qualifications for office hold-J - ing. The consequence frequently is that the voters are disappointed bef.-: cause of the inefficiency of the men g.they- elect. Why not vote for men P: > , * who are/known to be qualified .at the regular elections? The citizens of nil CnorfonViiiro" L'naw r?l" I WUUIUIO auu UJIOI vuuwutQ ivuv ? ) v? ?; . ought to have known, the character fei - of the men they elected to run the Bfor city government. /It is not at all y; likely that the characters of the two gtei'. mayors have changed materially ' p r. since they took the-oath of office. fc^:-',;orhis is not intended to reflect in any I . Xway upon either of ithe gentlemen, because we do not know anything about them; but we do not see much sense in electing7 them one year and jfe: stirring up personal feeling the next >^ear by^ a recall election?unless it * is shown that the voters were under ?0$ serious misapprehensions at the time J fey & they were elected. Hg? POLICE SEIZE NEWSPAPER, t London Globe Raised Ire of English Epl!'. ! U1DCUU?. I, London,v Nov. ,6.?The printing plant of the London Globe, together j| vwkh copies of the issues of yesterday ; and today, were seized by the police Sfar this afternoon. The Globe has been inviting trouble iot spme time, virtually daring the J -authorities to take officiah notice of H its disregard of some of the wishes of V; - the official press bureau and of its unrestrained denunciation of mem| bers of the cabinet who incurred its wrath. An attack yesterday by the Globe on certain ministers in connection with the administration of the Ip;, * war office and its positive reiteration K; * today that Secretary Kitchener had notwithstanding: official de nials, seem to have decided the authorities on the suppression of the paper. The Globe is controlled by Cecil Harmsworth, brother of Lord NorthpV ,'. cliffe, and is the oldest afternoon newspaper in London. ,Mr. Harmsworth's brother, Lord Northcliffe, has been one of the severest critics of the war office through his newspapers, the Times and the Mail. The Globe also has attacked mthe policy of the war office. "Quiet, children, quiet!" says the German mother in Fliegende Blatter. "Father is tired to death. He wrote X : ? a letter today that will go so very far?all the way to America." ||f. % , . , b x ESCAPE VILLA'S CLUTCHES. Men Four Times Condemned to Die, and Reported Dead, Reach Safety. Xaco, Arizona, Nov. 6.?Four Americans, .released at Villa Verde yesterday by Gen. Villa alter three times having been condemned to death, arrived here today and narrated their experiences as Red Cross workers among Villa's wounded on the battlefield of Ague Prieta. The party consisted of Dr. R. H. Thigpen. Dr. Charles H. Miller and two chauffeur's, A1 Wilson and J. D. Pylant. The two physicians took to their beds upon their arrival here as a result of their experiences after an all-night tramp through the mountains. Gen. Villa flew into a rage, Dr. Thigpen said, when he learned that the Americans could not guarantee the passage of his wounded over American territory to Juarez. ''Treat the Americans as they treat us," he is quoted as having said to his aid." Do as you please. Turn the artillery on Douglas and put these men in front of the infantry." Intercession by Gen. Rafael Naive, coupled with fear of retaliation upon families of Villa and his subordinates in the United States, was responsible for the safety of the Americans, Dr. Thigpen -said. When a subordinate reported to Villa that Carranza troops had been, permitted to cross American territory to aid in defending Augua Prieta Villa- again sought vengeance upon the Americans. In a rage he heaped excoriations upon their heads and finally ordered them killed, they said. Believing in the efficacy of prayer, the four Americans knelt among the wounded on the battlefield, while the riflemen waited. "The Mexicans^ about us were impressed," said Dr. Thigpen, "and the intercession once more of Gen. Naive, who suggested - j that the execution not be carried out until families of Villa and his officers could be recalled from the United States, spared us once more. "I asked Gen. Villa if I might talk to him," said Dr. Thigpen. "If you say a word to me I'll shoot you myself," he replied, according to Dr.' Thigpen. The four were marched to Villa Verde, where for the third time they were condemned to death. Gen. Naive, who followed them, again in- - terceded, this time with Gen. Rodriguez, who had arrived from Naco. Shortly afterward they were released, to make their way as best they could. Dr. Thigpen's home is in Sandersville, Ga., and Dr. Miller resides ai Hereford, Texas.. They left Naco Tuesday to render what aid they could to Villa wounded. DANIELS' PAPEJR AGAIN BURNED. Plant of News and Observer Destroyed by Fire Second Time. ^ Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 6.?For the second time since Josephus Daniels, became secretary of the navy in the Wilson cabinet the plant of his newspaper, the News and Observer, was destroyed by fire, which swept half a block, causing a property boss estimated at half a million dollars. The printing house of E. M. Uzzell. & Co.-, State printers, was destroyed. In the Uzzell plant was a warehouse containing many copies of supreme court reports and North Carolina laws, the property of the State. The loss to the State in papers, paper stock and printing supplies is estimated by Secretary of State J. r.. nnnvnvimaffilv 4 7fi _ JDrva.Il UI1U1CB at 1/Aiuiai.oi,; v i v, 000, about 30 per cent, covered by insurance. There are duplicates of all State records lost in the fire. The fire started in the plant of Uzzell & Co., and shortly afterward an explosion, which firemen attribute to gas, sent flames into the adjoining buildings. The editorial and mechanical forces of the News and Observer had left only a short, time before the fire was discovered. Practically nothing was saved from the News and Observer and Uzzell plants. The News and Observer saved only copies of the mailing lists, the galley proofs even being destroyed. Two firemen were injured slightly. Mr. Bagley was severely cut about the left arm and side by being caught in the door of the editorial rooms while attempting to leave the building with books. VILLA QUITS OFFENSIVE. Arrives at Naeo Accompanied by Artillery. Douglas, Arizona, Nov. 7.?Gen. Francisco Villa, accompanied by the larger part of his artillery and cavalry, arrived today at Naco, Sonora, twenty-five miles west of Agua Prieta, from which town he was beaten back. His retirement to Naco is taken in Mexican circles here to mean that Villa has abandoned the offensive for the time being., Gen. Alvaro Obregon, Carranza's chief military commander, remained in Agua Prieta today planning with Gen. Calles, commander of the garriI son, his future moves against Villa. Gen. Manuel Dieguez, Carranza's commander on the west coast, has occupied Hermosillo, and it is believed here that this has caused Villa to change his plan to harry the interior of Sonora for fear of being caught between Dieguez and Obregon. Villa passed through Cananea, a mining camp south of Xaco, today, The twenty-six Americans left there to operate the water and lighting plants were not molested. ATainr Den Frederick Funston. in command of the United States troops on the border, left today for Naco. Just the Right Present. Don't take changes in the matter of Christmas presents.
