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.
Two brides were made widows a
few hours after the wedding ceremonies
were performed in the pen-1
iteatiary at Valladolid, Yucatan,
says a dispatch from Mexico City,
Mexico, when their husbands faced
a firing , squad selected to execute
them in accordance with sentences
passed upon them after trial by the
war department for sedition and
murder, the accusation growing out
of their participation in the recent
uprising at Valladolid. For several
days a number of prisoners have been
?n trial. Three were sentenced to
. death and executed Thursday afteinoon;
three were sentenced to fifteen
years and four were sentencd to 13
years and four months in prison. j
immediately after the death sentences
were pronounced on the three
men chaiged with murder two ashed
permission 'o marry before the/
were executed. Their requests were
granted by the authorities and the
young women to whom they were
* engaged went to the prison at the
hour agreed upon for the marriage
oreniouies.
CAPITALIST A SUICIDE.
Appearance of Mysterious Wife iho
Cause of Tragedy.
As & sequel to the appearance of
a woman in Uniontown, Pa., registered
at a hotel as Mrs. Mad Rosenberg,
the man whoso name she
thus used, committed suicide by tiring
a bullet through his head. It
was not known to his friends that
the man had married a second time,
but the woman declares she became
his wife in Pittsburg. Rosenberg
was worth about $100,000 and for
many years had been a principal
stockholder In the Arch Distillery
company. Early in the morning of
his death he appeared on the streets
and discussed business matters with
his friends. He was 60 years of age
and had been living a retired life for
a number of years.

FKKDKKIOK H. 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 ? U WUl/v/V *?I ? V " "* ? Q
Ins fulfilled its mission to the farmers
of the South, it was merged into j,
the Farmer's Union. a
Mr. Hayt/t first conceived the idea ^
of a good roads association for South ^
Carolina, its membership consisting g
of supervisors, county officials and p
others interested in highway im- c,
provements. 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. Mr. a
Hyatt has visited every county and
most towns of the State, on various 0
missions and his knowledge of the 5
financial, geograhpical and ednca- ^
tional conditions make him peculiar- ^
ily fitted for the position to which fl
he aspires.?Adv. p

LEASE'S OPENING SPEECH

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

'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- (

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.
