*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

Bfor city government. /It is not at all

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

is shown that the voters were under

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."

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. You don't want
yours, like so many others, to be received
with indifference or worse, and
ten days after Christmas to be cast
aside and forgotten.
You take no such chance in giving
The Youth's Companion for a year.
Did you ever know of a home in
which it came amiss, or of one in
which it was not conspicuous on the
library table or in some one's hands
all through the year?
It is worth while to make a gift
of that sort, and it is worth while to
receive it, too, for The Companion
illustrates the best traits in American
life in its stories and sketches,
upholds the best standards in its articles
and other contributions, and
combines the practical and informing
with the entertaining and bloodstirring.
If you do not know The Companion
as it is today, let us send you one
or two current issues free, that you
may mrougniy test ine paper s quality.
We will send also the Forecast
for 1916. .
Every new subscriber who sends
^2.00 for the fifty-two weekly issues
of 1916 will receive free all the issues
for the rest of 1915 and The
Companion Home Calendar for 1916.
