Our good friend, Editor Wallace, *
of the Newberry Observer, -who is a 1
stickler for accuracy, has a headline
about a "wife murderer" being ar- *
f . rested. As every person is consider- *
_ ed innocent until he is proven guilty, r
r y we should like to ask who convicted *
P' this man, as he has not yet been 1
trigd.
.- Col. W. J. Talbert, who admitted
that he charged a fee of 3500 to get
K Governor Blease to order the election
J for McCormick county, says in a
fC newspaper statement that he has aly
ways done to others as he would like
I to be done by. Wonder if the colonel
/ ' would like for somebody to charge
< kim $500 to get some official to put
his signature to a paper, when it is
the clear duty of the official to put his .
. signature without palrley or price? ^
g There is always a possibility of a
|p ; some defeated candidate in the Demei
ocratic primaries becoming disgrun- s
tied and running in the general elec- v
tion as an independent, Republican a
or Progressive. The Democrats ^
should always be prepared to give 0
, such a traitor to the party the overwhelming
defeat that he deserves. 0
I One defeated candidate in the last a
primary has already left the party. 0
Let every true Democrat see that he *
H'-;-. has his registration certificate on the J?
first Monday in October.
' If the editor of the Charleston i)
American voted in the Democratic o
primaries this year, his ears must e
$1 ,V" i have been closed when he took the t
oath and pledge at the ballot box. ^
The American a few days ago stated e
that Democratic voters were under
no obligations to vote for the Demo- *
. cratic nominee for president. The t
following is th4 oath and pledge each t
voter was required to take before e
placing his ballot in the box: "I do t
solemnly swear that I am a resident ?
of this club district, and am duly s
qualified to vote at this election ac- i
V; - cording to the rules of the Demo- ^
cratic party, and that I have not vot- 1
ed before at this election, and pledge
myself to support the nominees of the
party, State and national." Nothing
can be clearer than that. No man of ^
1 *
conscience can consider that he is g
not under obligation to vote for the r
Democratic presidential candidate if ^
he voted in the Democratic primary. ^
In fact, strictly construed, we believe that
every voter actually obligates |
v himself not to absent himself from
the polls at the general election, for
no one can support^the nominees of
the party by failing to register and
: K vote.
It is the duty of every Democrat
to register. No voter can cast his
ballot in the general election unless
he is registered. The registration
books will be open on the first Monday
in October, and this will be%the
last opportunity to register before
the general election in November.
The Progressives and we believe the
Republicans have full tickets out this
year for State offices and congress.
. There is, of course, no shadow of a
chance for the Republicans or Progressives
to elect their tickets, but
the Democrats should roll up a large
vote, so as to insure the State always
remaining in the right column. And, |
whether there is danger of ^another I
party or not, it is always the duty |
of good citizens to register and vote
in general elections. Since the Democrats
have secured control of the
national government there has been
no talk of cutting the Southern representation
in congress, but in the
event of a Republican success this
year, the talk will in all probability
be revived. The Republican cry has
\
v
>^ 1- ' - ' ' '
\
.V V . v
V ; . . ' v
ilways been that the South had more
representation in congress than the
general election vote indicated it was
entitled to. If every qualified Democrat
should register and vote in' the
general election all this talk would
:ease. I
It seems that the country has gone^
'strike" crazy. A big strike is now;
i
>n in New York, and a "sympathetic
strike," whatever chat is, has been
called to aid the street car strikers, i
A.bout 700,000 men will be idle, it is
said, because the labor leaders havej
leclared that union men of all descriptions
should walk out in svm-1
Dathy with the street car men. \vnen-| i
jver there is any issue involving al- j
eged personal liberty, the labor menj |
jan alway? be counted as being)
igainst anything that will infringe
lpon their personal rights. Yet they |
illow themselves to be called upon
;o strike simply because there is trou)le
between some other laborers, with
vhom they have no connection, and
:heir employers. And, further than
;hat, the labor union heads in New
Fork have sent out the word that no
mion men are to ride upon street
jars ,in New York operated by other
;han union men, which means that
;hey will not ride at all. In order
;o carry out this order, pickets have
)een stationed allv over the city to
see to it that no union men ride on
he cars. We have nothing in the
vorld against labor unions. Prop- jrly
conducted, we think they safeguard
the rights of the laboring peo>le;
but when it comes to dictating
o people as to whether they shall
ide or walk, we think it is about
ime to call a halt. The trouble is,
n our opinion, the unions have as
ligh officers a set of demagogues
ather than me^j whose purpose it is
0 safeguard to labor that which beongs
to labor.
WORLD'S LARGEST FISH.
Fhe Man-Eater of Centuries Ago
Was Some Big Creature.
Once upon a time, one million
ears ago, so the archaeologists say, ,
here lived in the ocean a family of
harks so gigantic that Jonah's
phale, by comparison, would be only
1 little larger than bait, declares
he American Boy. Their gaping
aws opened as wide as garage doors,
,nd were fully nine feet across, with
n opening of more than six feet in
leight. When this fish dined on his
ea food, his jaws crunched down
vith the force of a hydraulic press, _
,nd ground, with teeth one-half foot
ligh, th? hundreds of bony fishes upn
which he subsisted.
This leviathan, called the Carchardon
Megalodon, is one of the latest
dditions to the Hall of Fossil Fishes
f the American Museum of Natural
listory in New York. In the phoshate
deposits off the coast of South
Jarolina were found a number of ?
eeth ransrinep in size from two tn si*
aches, and sitnilar in shape to those
if the great white shark, or manater.
The Carcharodon, according
0 conclusions of the archaeologists,
ras simply a man-eater in a larger
sdition.
The teeth, of which a vast number
vrere found, have been arranged atj
he museum in the same manner as
hey are found in the present maniater.
Comparing the size of the
eeth of the restored Carcharodon
rith those of the largest living
iharks, whose length is forty feet, it
s estimated that the Carcharodon
vras at least eighty or nighty feet
ong.
