I Thursday, August 10, 1916.
A good deal is being said about the
execution of Sir Roger Casement in
London last week. A good many
harsh things are said about the Eng:
lish government; but we fail to see
that any blame attaches to Great
Britain. It has been the custom or
^ practice for time immemorial to mete
out the extreme penalty of the law to
traitors. We may sympathize with
& the condemned, but that does not alter
the seriousness of turning traitor
- to one's country. It is the irony of
fate that decrees that a citizen of a
country is a traitor if he fails in a
revolutionary attempt, and a hero if
U' he succeeds; but such is the case. As
it stands, Sir Roger will always be
termed a traitor to his codntry. Had
the uprising succeeded, he would
have been heralded in after yeays as
one of the world's greatest patriots.
The Herald wants a' live correspondent
in every section of Bam*
berg county. No news, if it is news,
is ,too unimportant to print. The
Herald is your county paper. If you
will cooperate with us, we will give
you the best county paper in the
South. Look on the front page and
read our notice to correspondents.
If you can act as our representative
vin your section, let us know and we
m\v; will send you stationery, stampea envelopes,
and some instructions, and
we will also be glad to furnish all
regular correspondents with a copy
J. of The Herald regularly. No paper
l|: other than your county paper will
|jP : give you the publicity your section
should have. We want to publish
| * every particle of news there is in
Bamberg county, and we can do tltfs
only by our friends sending it in.
? Not every person can write good lettere,
it is true, but don't let that
|||- hinder you. Do the best you can.
We will edit the copy and print any
[fey, news that is sent us. But be sure
fe: to sign your name, not for publicaj|*:"
tion, but for record in our office. We
intend to develop our country cor??;
Tespondence until we have a regular
s ?1 correspondent in every section. And,
jte maybe you know just the right pergte
son to send us the news, if you can't
do it. Let us have his or her name,
and we will take the matter up with
that person. If our friends will give
[4 us some help along this line, we will
J promise that The Herald will not
only appreciate it, but will give Bamberg
the best county newspaper that
is possible.
iv;- In a statement more than a column
in length, Candidate R. A. Cooper
explains in detail just what he said
in Bamberg in reply to the questions
propounded by Governor Manning,
rv Mr. Cooper intimates that the reports
published in the daily papers of the
uamoerg meeting aia mm an injustice.
The daily newspapers stated, in
effect, that Mr. Cooper admitted that
he would have acted in nearly every
instance the same as Governor Manning
did with regard to the leading
" issues. The 'only matter of any importance
that Mr. Cooper disagreed
~ with Mr. Manning on was that of supplementing
the salary of the superintendent
of the State Hospital for the
Insane. For the sake of argument
suppose that Mr. Manning erred. His
worst enemies could only say that ii
was an error of judgment, and an
error growing out of a zeal for the
welfare of the inmates of this institution,
who most certainly were in a
pitiable condition. We do not con
cede that it was an error on Governor
Manning's part at all; in fact we
think that it was the only possible
step for Mr. Manning to take to carry
into effect the reforms in the hospital
that he determined to carry out.
You can accept the fact or not,-just
I
J V _
as you like, but the statistics show
that the number of deaths in the institution
showed a large decrease during
Dr. Williams's first year. It is
also a fact that Mr. Manning's programme
of improvement at the hospital
could not have been carried forward
without increasing the salary
of the superintendent?that is, the
governor could not have secured the
services of the man he believed to be
the man for the place.But we do
not think the governor's course in
this respect needs any defense, and it
is not our purpose to defend it. The
simple statement of the accomplishments
of Dr. Williams are entirely
sufficient. But the main thing asked
by Governor Manning?why Mr.
Cooper is in the race?remains unanswered.
Mr. Cooper merely replies
that this is a free country and
anybody can offer for an office. Nobody
has disputed Mr. Cooper's right
to enter the race, but this gives the
voters no reason for his doing so. If
he has only the good of the State at
heart, it certainly seems proper for
him to state why the people should
not reelect Mr. Manning; for he and ,
Manning stood on the same platform
two years ago. If Mr. Manning made
good, and Mr. Cooper has not said
that he did not, what claims have Mr.
Cooper upon the office?
"I DIE FOR >IY COUNTRY."
Casement's Last Word as He Goes
to His Death.
London, August 3.?Roger Case^
ment, former British knight and consul,
was hanged at 9 o'clock this
morning in Pentonville jail for high
treason. He was convicted of conspiring
to cause an armed revolt in
t?i J ?j ?jal T?? . u A. n
lreianu aim wiui navmg suugm vtciman
aid to that end.
Before the execution a great crowd
of men, women and children gathered
before the prison gates. Twenty
minutes before Casement mounted
the scaffold the great prison bell
commenced to toll. The sound was
greeted with cheers from the crowd,
mingled with some groans. At one
minute after 9 o'clock a single stroke
of the big bell announced that the
trap had been sprung. It was the
signal for a mocking, jeering yeli
from the crowd which suddenly died
away into silence.
Casement met his death with calm
courage, according to eyewitnesses.
Early in the morning two priests of
the Roman Catholic Church administered
the last rites in the cell of the
condemned man and shortly afterward
a little procession headed by
the clergymen with Casement following,
a warden on either side, proceeded
to the execution shed, only
five yards away. . N
Litany of the Dying.
The priests recited the litany of
the dying, Casement responding in
low tones:
"Lord have mercy on my soul."
According to one of those present
Casement's last words were:
"I die for my country."
As the party reached the ?hed
where the gallows was erected the
special executioner, a hair dresser
named Ellis, approached Casement
and quickly pinioned him. The two
chaplains, the undersheriff of London
and the undersheriff of Middlesex
then took up their positions in front
of the scaffold. Casement mounted
the gallows steps firmly and commended
his spirit to God as he stepped
on the trap. A moment later
the lever was pulled.
Pronounced Dead.
Immediately after the trap was
sprung the prison engineer and physician
descended into the pit where,
after the application of the usual
tests, Casement was pronounced dead
at nine minutes after nine. According
to the custom in the case of prisoners
hanged for crimes similar to
that of Casement his body will be
buried in quick lime in the prison
yard, but probably no decision as to
the burial will be made until after'
the inquest.
An affecting incident took place
outside the prison wall as the execu*
tion was in progress. At the back ot
the prison, a little distance from the
jeering crowd about the gates, was a
group of about thirty Irish men and
women. When the dull clang of the'
prison bell announced that the doomed
man had paid the last penalty
this little group fell on their knees
and with bowed heads remained for
some moments silently praying for
the repose of the soul of their dead
fellow countryman.
Cotton Crop at 12,916,000 Bales.
Washington, August 1.?Heavy
damage to the growing cotton crop
between June 25 and July 25 has
causer! a rprlnntinn nf 1.350.000 bales
in the prospective production. The
August cotton report of the department
of agriculture, announced today,
indicated a production of 12,916,000
bales, equivalent 500-pound
bales, compared with 14,266,000
bales forecast from the condition of
the crop June 25. The condition
during the months dropped 8.8 per
cent, to 72.3 of a normal.

to contemplate.
Sheriff on the Scene.
When Sheriff Rector arrived Leoi
was sitting by the wayside, with j
ragged bundle thrown over his lef

under a low, slanting forehead fron
which dripped beads of perspiration

hidden by fuzzy, reddish beard, wai

Hold Up Pay Car in Detroit and Gral
Over $30,000.
Detroit, August 4.?Five unmask
ed automobile bandits today held u]
an automobile in which $50,000 pa;
roll money was being taken to th<
plant of the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine company, and before astonishei
guards could offer resistance snatch
ed five bags of six in the car, sai<
to have contained between $33,00<
and $34,000, and escaped.
The hold-up took place on Bur
roughs avenue, between Woodwar<
and Cash avenues in view of hun
dreds of employees of nearby automo
bile factories and the usual afternooi
throngs on Woodward avenue.
Rudolph Copper, a Burrough
guard, who attempted to intercep
the speeding bandit car, was sho
through the thigh and struck on th<
head with the butt end of a pistol.
Witnesses declared that the fiv?
bandits apparently ranged in ag<
from 18 to 60 years. No one, how
ever, seemed able to give a good de
scription. They were armed wit]
rifles and automatic pistols. A sec
ond pay car, carrying $75,000, wa
not molested.
Eleven machines filled with officer
tonight were scouring the surround
ing country in every direction.
Early tonight the bandits wen
thought to have been cornered be
tween Noyi and South Lyon, abou
thirty miles northwest of the city, bu
when officers from Detroit and Soutl
Lyon closed in they found nothing.
Riding in a large motor car witl
part of the money for the week's pa;
roll in bags on the floor, Thoma
Sheehan, paymaster of the company
was within half a block of the plan
when a smaller car drovef alongside
and four men jumped out demanding
surrender of the money.
Within two minutes after the ban
dit car drew alongside the pay car th<
former was racing away with the fivi
cash bags.
Russia is said to be the only war
ring nation whose people are actual
ly growing more prosperous during
the conflict.

CARS CEASE TO RUN.
otham Faces Most Serious Transit
Tieup in All Its Troubled History.
New York, August 5.?Surface car
'affic ceased in the boroughs of Manattan,
the Bronx and Richmond at
o'clock tonight. At that hour the
ty was i nthe grip of the most serius
transit blockade in its history.
Brooklyn was the only borough in
le greater city not affected by the
:rike of motormen and conductors,
nly a fraction of the normal numer
of cars was in operation in the
rough of Queens although the railay
company that operates the lines
lere was more fortunate than the
ther public service corporations afscted
in retaining the services of a
irge number of loyal employes.
The menace of a general strike
ould include the elevated and subav
lines was growing more threatling
tonight. Union organizers deared
employes of the company were
sporting constantly'at headquarters

the general organizer, declared
lat by the middle of next week evry
employee of the Interborough
ould be a member of the union.
Locomotive Men to Join.
A new element of danger, so far as
le traveling public is concerned,
as injected into the situation toight
when William D. Mahon, presient
of the Amalgamated Association
f Street and Electric Railway Emloyees,
declared that a delegation of
ia Rrotherhond of Locomotive En
Ineers, representing the men workig
on the railroads running into the
ty, had called upon him and asked
>r a conference. They were invited
> confer tomorrow afternoon with
uion officials.
It was announced at headquarters
lat this probably meant the memsrs
of the brotherhood would walk
[it in sympathy with the carmen if
were found necessary and thus tie
p the steam and electric roads Tuning
into New York. Mahon and his
ssociates were much elated over the
ew development.
At 8 o'clock tonight orders had
/ .
sen issued by every street railroad
l Manhattan and the Bronx and on
taten island (Richmond) to disconnue
service for the night. An hour
iter not a surface car was moving
i the three boroughs. The man?ements
