BOAT DRIFTING j Drtwaiog ii River Heir Nmi Academy Tuesday. , 1 # INMATES MISSING ! Hforts Being Made to Recover Bod* tea of Young Woman and Two ' yAMAshipmen.?Lust Seen in Frail Oraft4 which is Later Discovered Dcii'ting on Water. More than a score of middies are searching the waters of the Severn River, near Annapolis, Md., for the bodies of Mrs. Nellie B. Howyer, wiii- I w of Joseph Aowyer, and daughteriu-luw of Superintendent John M. Bowyer, of the Naval Academy, anu Midshipmen Grisbie Thomas, of Union Point, Ga., and Sherman M. N*son,* of Newport, R. I. The three left r* the Naval Academy about 11 o'clock ' Tuesday morning, in a sail boat, and this boat was found drifting that afternoon. In it were portions oi the clothing that had been worn by the members of the party. It is believed that the midsh'pmen took Mrs. Bowyer to the bathing shore used by the Naval Academy people, and attempted to teach her to swim and, that she, getting beyoud her depth, all throe were drowned. All efforts to recover the bodies had been fruitless up to a late hour. Mrs. Bowyer and her midshipmen missed the regular launch that goes to the bathing beach across the river from the Naval Academy, and took a half-rater sail boat instead. There they donned bathing suits and again taking to their boat, went to a beach nearer the mouth of the river, bat within sight of the Naval Academy. . While this beach Is good, K has J treacherous spots, where the depth of *water increases suddenly. There I were no witnesses to what occur- I red, but the discovery of tho boat in which they had been and the fact that no trace of any of the party has I been found leads to the conviction I that all throe were drowned. I mUDKH ONLY FEW HOURS. Married Two Prisoners That Had Received Death Sentences.

HYATT. |j Mr. Frederick H. Hyatt is one of the candidates for Governor subject to the result of the Democratic prim- j aries and inasmuch as this is his first entry into politics, a sketch concerning his public life will be of interest. His early life was passed upon the plantation where he was born. ' At the close of the civil war, his father's fortune having disappeared in the smoke of the conflict, Mr. Hyatt, a lad of sixteen went to work on his own account. By his own efforts he received an education in t the schools and colleges of his native State. In 1884 he began his career in t the insurance world, filling various | f positions with distinction and in t 1892 he was appointed manager for j i TVin Ul.tnal T ifo I 1 ui/uui vn i vi ma &W4 a iuutum a^mvi 4i which position he now holds. Mi. \ Hyatt has lived in Columbia for c more than 2 0 years and is recognlz- c ed as one of the business leader In t addition to his insuranco work, he r has made a success in handling real c. estate and other interests. a During :he administration of q.e g late Governor Ellerbe, a vacancy (] arose on the Richland County hoard j of commissioners. Mr. Hyatt was j named to frJl out the unexpired term t ana as chair .inn was member of the a board of equalization. He did not f offer for election. It was during a his term as commissioner that the t erst steps were taken to imprrve the a county highways, which are now j pointed to with pride throughout the g col? try. I Mr. Hyatt has received various ap- r pointments of former Governors, be- t ing one of the State delegates accom- j panylng the governatorial part-es to ^ the Dewey celebration, the Narionr j Good Roads congress at St. Louis j, and various other conventions. c He has always taken a high stai d r for the moral uplift of his convmnn- ^ ity. The erection of Columbia's Y. j M. C. A. building was due to Mr. ^ Hyatt's energy while serving as its j president. When It was found nec- t essary to enlarge Columbia College, j Mr. Hyatt gave the necessary lands c for the erection of new buildings and j gave considerable financial aid. He a is a Methodist, serving his church in t various capacities, however when it c. was found that the Lutheran Theological Seminary, with proper ftnan- ^ ciail aid, would be moved to Colum- j bia, Mr. Hyatt was among the first to t respond with such assistance. h Upon the organization of the Sou- a thern Cotton Association he was v elected State Treasurer and was sub- j sequently named treasurer for the v ontlro rP>?l<j aao/u>iaHnn V?av- j ^111 J I KJ * *1 ?

He has been the presi- ^ dent of the association since its or- ^ ganization. Conventions are annual- e ly held for the exchange of ideas ^ and discussions by men conversant ^ wit.h the needs of the State.

LEASE'S OPENING SPEECH i [>KLIVKHKI> AT OPKNING STATU CAMPAIGN AT SUMTKH. ? Hon. Cole L BJease Clearly and Sue* ' cinctly StatoH Hi* Position on the Issues. ' Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Genlemen, South Carolinians: Two years ago, when I appeared >efore you as a candidate for the ofice of governor, I was introduced o you as Senator Hlease. This mornng your chairman introduced me as if f> ?r^ m I) 1 av?* M/^uf Kntf TurA ri aj'Ui i > icnou, ui iic n uci i j . a nv? 'ears ano 1 represented Newberry, ounty in the State senate. At the lose of that year I voluntarily re- , ired from that position and last December I was elected mayor of the :, ity of Newberry, where I was born 1 uid where I have lived all my life. >o it is with pleasure that I can tolay repeat the boast which 1 made n the last campaign, viz., that the >eople of my home town and coun- , y have never refused to elect me to , my office that I have asked them or. I have been town attorney and tin now mayor, and have represented he county in the house of representatives and in the State Senate. have been elected to nearly every Jta/te convention since 1890, when I , >egan my service in the house of epresentatives, and am now serving ny fourteenth year on (the State democratic executive committee. In .he race for governor two years ago received a majority of the votes ; n the town of Newberry and in the j ounty of Newberry, and in the sur- ; ounding counties of Laurens, Salu-{ la and Union, and in that section of Lexington adjacent to my home couny. Where the people know me best received my largest vote, and of hat I am proud. As to my success n my profession, the records in the ifflce of the cJerk of the court at dewberry will show that my name ippears as attorney in nearly all of he important criminal and civil aseR of the county. I have served he State as speaker pro tem. of the louse, and as president pro tem. of , he senate as presidential elector wice, and as a member of the State , oard of canvassers for four years, j nd I beg to refer you to those with j /hom I have served and those whom have served as to the manner in , ^hioh I filled these positions and j ischarged the duties thereof. ( We are told today that conditions | n South Carolina demand a sound nd economical, but not penurious, f usiness administration, and it is rue. The financial question is the reatest issue which confronts oip* eople. And who was it that first ailed attention to our financial conition? Mease did it on the floor of he senate, and worked for a more conomical government, and begged he senators to reduce approprialons, not to create useless offices nd to stop burdening the people with axation. In 1906 and 1908 I went n the stump all over this State and egged the people to pay more atsntion to their financial affairs, and id all in my power to make the nancial condition of our State the rincipal issue in both those camaigns. Hut the politicians and cerlin newspapers wanted to keep conealed the true conditions, so they oHered "liquor, liquor," and hid lie facts, as far as possible, from the oters. Now, since they can not keep heso conditions hid any longer, onie of them are yelling, "I^et. liuor alone, and let's have a business ampaign." All right, that is what have been begging for, for year, nd I iaiii glad to see that the peoeople iiave at last waked up to find hat I was rig.ht, and that they are ow demanding what I have been rying to get for years?a more econ mitral form of government. Two years ago 1 exposed the imligration law so completely that the egislature was forced to repeal the ct and abolish the immigration bueau. Had it not been for my figh. hat abomination would still be with s. I fought for the inspection cf our lills as to health and as to vvoraing hildren under the prohibits! age nd not within the legal hours, and he legislature has made provision or this. T fought for night sc.hool for chi ren who could not attend day chools, and succeeded in getting a iw passed upon that subject. I fought the effort whie'i was wi le to beep thousands of our whir, eople from voting in the p u.i'jry, nd in the Si te convention l si.eseded in getting the committee to fport unfavorably upon the resoluon, and on the floor of the convonon I again fougdit it, and the conention refused to pass the rcsolu<>n, and all white men in Souln arolina are yet free. My platform today is as follows: 1. An honest administration of all lws, fairly and impartially, to nil ti/.ens alike. 2. Enforcing all laws upon all ibjects, and obedience to the constiition of the United States and of with Carolina. A. Trial by jury for all persons xuised of crime and enforcing the idgments of courts founded upon le verdicts of the juries. 4. Keeping forever seperate the 1 gislative, judicial and executive apartments of the government, each iwever, doing its duty and endeav- ( ? ? ? > rv 4 *x tt i\ 1% 1,1 n % ,1 n f ? v ."v ?? l-N ,-v /\ K 11 nig tu upiiuiu aim au|i|iui i tins win- ~ Upon t.his I respectfully present 1 to following issues for the consid- ^ ation of my fellow-Democrats to 0 horn I address myself: (a) I am in favor of biennial ses- l1 ons of the general assembly. I1 (l>> I am in favor of liberal apropriations for our Confederate vet- * ans. (c) I am in favor of liberal, but at extravagant appropriation for " jr State institutions of learning, so a tat all of them may be kept upon 1' high standard. ? (d) I am in favor of building up " the free-school system bo that every white child In South Carolina may be given a good, common school education in comfortable and convenient school houses, and in paying teachers sufficient salaries to secure the beat. I am absolutely opposed to compulsory education,as my record in both the house and the senate in the past will show. "In my opinion, compulsory education at the hands of the State means disrupting the home, for It dethrones the authority of the parents and places the paid agents of the Slate in control of the c.hildren, and destroys family government. Those agents stand between the child and parent. They represent the State. They are not responsible to the parents. They impress upon the minds of the children the views of the State and virtually say, "We have taken you out of bondage and made you free, we are giving you what your nnniiHirnl nnrpnt.fi would not irive you?and no ohild on earth can be > subject to such influences and teaching and escape imbibing the spirit of rebellion against parental authority, and consequent disrespect and ingratitude. Children are too easily infected with the idea that their parents owe t.hem everything, while they owe them nothing in return, and with the design and law of God 9et at defiance, w.ho can compass, by the widest stretches of the most gigantic mind, the condition that will foflow? We desire to see the standard of education raised in South Carolina; we want every boy and girl in the State to have every possible opportunity to gain for themselves the very best and highest degree of equipment for life, but we do not want it at the cost of parental authority, and the peace of the home. Family government and parental responsibility antedate all others, and it is possible for wild, extravagant and madly enthusiastic men, who see theory and theory only to destroy family government, alienate children from their parents and force the home into a scene of strife, rebellion and wrechedness." The Bible says a great deal about obedience to parents and reverence for parents, and, believing in that Book and its teachings as strongly as I do, I say to the parents, for the sake of their children, our country and for the future, keep within your own control the rearing and education of your own children, and strike down by your ballot every effort to deprive you of the same. Our people tight force bills in congress and they had better fight this one at home. (e) I am opposed to the higher education of the negro race, and in favor of the taxes paid by white people going to, and being used only for, the education of white children. (f) I am in favor of a strict enforcement of the vagrancy laws. (g) I am in favor of a law retiring either a marriage certificate er the registration of all marriages ;n the office of the clerk of the court Df the county in which the marriage :akes place. (h) I am In favor of a flat rate ot 2 1-2 cents per mile on railroads in :nis oiaie, out am opposed 10 me Miles now in force on the railroads is to mileage books and charging 15 cents excess. (i) I am in favor of good roads, ; ?ood morals and honest government. (j) As to the w.hlskey question, I im satisfied that the people of the State are tired of the agitation along :his line. I favor local option, and, in order to be strictly Democratic ind allow self-government, and homeMile, I favor extending the present law so as to allow a county to have ; license, if the majority of her white dtizens wish it, as other counties lave dispensary or prohibition. However, if license is voted, I favor the most, rigorous enforcement of Uie laws for the sale in this manner, prohibiting under any circumstances, my whiskey being sold in less quantities than one-half pint, or between sunset and sunup, and prohibit it from being drunk on the premises, or being sold, under any circumstances, to minors or inebriates, or behind closed doors or screens, prohibiting any obscene pictures on the premises, or any billiard or pool rooms connected therewith, and proriding that any person holding a license who shall violate any provision of t.he law shall immediately noan conviction, forfeit his license and be forever thereafter barred from being licensed, and in addition be imprisoned at hard labor in the State penitentiary without the aite.nati\e if a tine. I am absolutely oppns d to the old bar-room system, and' vou 1 d under no circumstances >ign i bill to reinstate that system. (k) I am opposed to any law restricting the rights of Democrats to /oto in the primary elections, other han is provided for in the rules tdopted by the State convention, vhich provides as follow: 'That no vhito man shall be excluded from aiticipatlon in the Democrat.<. mi i nary who shall take the pledge re t iiiired by the rules cf the Democrat- ( c party, and whose name has been nrolled on the Democratic club li--t ive days before the primary elejum, nd who is otherwise qualified under N he constitution and rules of the v )emocratic party to vote in the prim- t ,ry election." The oath referred to t s a? follows: "I do solemnly rwori* hat I am duly qualified to vote at j his election, according to the rules f the Democratic party, and that I iave not voted before at this elecion, and pledge myself to support be nominees of this primary," Rule j provides that no person shall be ,j ermitted to vote unless be has been j nrolled on a club list at least five ays before the primary election, 1 nd unless he has been a resident of 51 lie orate one year, auu ui ine cuuii- > y in which he seeks enrollment GO s ays preceeding the next general ^ lection. It is, therefore, seen that t he claptrap, so-called argument that eople are allowed to vote in the rim-ary elections who have only been n t.ho county for a few days or in ho State for a short time is abso- g utely unfounded and unwarranted, ?eca*ise these provisions which I ave cited make it absolutely imperii ve that in order to vote in the rimary one shall have been in the tate one year and in the county 60 lays preceeding the general election, , 1 and this absolutely prevents any mat from voting In the primary election who is what is commonly called a floater. In my opinion, this is umply strong, and any law passed by tbo legislature further abridging the right of suffrage in the primary would be vetoed by me immediately if I were governor. (1) I am in favor of running the government on a liberal, but not ex irnvagam uasitt, uut in uuw iwiug done) and in making our tax levy, both county and State, as low as possible for a safe and econmical management of our financial affairs; and of reducing expenses uselessm tcoof reducing expenses, abolishing useless positions, stopping extravagant appropriations for any purpose, stopping the useless expenditure of money by officials, stopping the creation of useless offices, and all other methods of reckless, careless or useless expenditure of money that causes an increase in the tax levied upon our people for our taxes are too high, and our people are now too heavily burdened with taxation. I fully believe that the grandest most progressive, most perfect and most independent form of government is a poor government ytul a rich people. When you make a rich government, and thereby impoverish the people, or make a poor people, you reverse Democracy and create dissatisfaction and discontent among the people, who are the masters and not the servants, as some would have us think. For me, give me ft poor government and a rich people, in place of a rich government ami a poor people for the more money that you give your Legislature the control of, the more extravagant will be their appropriations and expenditures. Under our present management the idea seems to be to raise the tax levy higher, make assessments higher. make more extravagant apnroprl at ions, and spend the people's mOney uselessly, making both the p'ebple and the government poor, for the benefit of a few who hold political positions and draw large salaries, and who are trying to create ap aristocracy, not of blood, not of brains, but of money. (m) I am in favor of the constitutional amendment to be voted upon in the general election providing for a fifth justice of the supreme court, and in favor of making the decision of the supreme court in any case the final disposition of that particular case, in so far as the State courts are concerned, unless that court itself shall for good and sufficient legal reasons afterwards brought to its attention change its decision. Triffiing with the courts as is now being done, should lie stopped. And in ord,er to bring this about I am in favor of such laws that will protect capital in all its lawful investments, and' the good old Democratic doctrine, "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none" in each branch of the government and particularly in the enforcement of all laws. I have been advocating these principles for years in the house, in the senate and on the stump in my home county and throughout the Stiite, and have stood squarely on them out in the onen and never waited to see which would be the popular Bide before taking a stand. Even when some of them were very unpopular and it seemed that' any man who dared advocate them was doomed to political oblivion I stood by them and ma.<le the light to keep them up and begged the people not to be deceived, but to hear me for my cause, and now >ve see some who did not stand for them, or who, if. they did, were afraid to acknowledge it, endeavoring to push me off my platform and yelling to the people that they and Betsy killed the bear and that they are the logical candidate. If therebe a logical candidate upon these principles or upon a financial platform for a more economical fprm of government and for reduction in appropriation and a business man's administration, I submit to you, the people, that 1 am the man, standing Upon nry phst record as candidate,- legislator *?tnd citizen. I beg to call your attention to the fact that two years, ago 1 received forty two thousand and .one hundred votes for this position. From the information that 1 have received I am satisfied that 1 will be elected and if so I promise ybu a fair and impartial administration- of all the duties of the office and in so far as my power lies a reduction in expenses and an honest enforcement of whatever laws may now be upon your statute books, or may be placed there by the properly constituted auth orities.?Adv.
