Thursday, Sept. 28, 1916. i ?? i 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.
