SAVED BY A WOMAN A MAN RESCUED FROM THE SURF AT ISLE BF PALMS BAD GONE DOWN TWICE A Female Life Saver Swims Out BeI yond the Breakers and Brings in a < 1 Male Brother Who Was Stricken , With Cramps and Was About to j Drown. ] The News and Courier says a lady ^ life-saver Is one of the unique fea- j Cures of the 1912 season at the Isle i 'Of Palms. The lady life-saver was on j hand at the opening of the season AV. CI . . .. .1 ?. .? ,1 ..lit. U/.. flaat /tnn'fl '\UBio ouuuajr, auu vrnu uci uidi uaj a j work, undoubtedly made good with a rush by saving from drowning Mr. < N. W. Abbey, of Charleston, when he j took a sudden cramp while consider- ( ably beyond his depth. 1 The lady is Mrs. J. J. Wallace, of 1 Boston. Mr. Wallace is also at the 1 Isle of Palms, on duty as a life-saver. < These are two leading members of 1 the crew employed by the manage- 1 inent of the Isle of Palms to safe- < guard the beach and reduce danger to a minimum. Mrs. Wallace is making a specialty i of informal instruction of women 1 and children visitors in the natatorial sciences. She does not pose 1 as a guarantor of safety to every husky gentleman who recklessly goes beyond his limits with the expecta- ' tion of being rescued, but still ah* 4s not one to be caught napping when the opportunity presents itself to lend ' a hand in bringing a bather back ' from the danger zone. I This was proven when Abbey, who ' Is a fairly good swimmer started seaward with the intention erf going to 1 the farthest point from which he thought he could return safely. Abbey got out ac far as he cared to go, 1 and then turned around and started back. Just then he was seized with severe cramps in the side and arm, otwl folf V?Inif hnlnlpRfl In his struc- 1 gl<> with the rolling waters. His cries for help were at first interpreted as mere sport, and it was only after they had been repeated a number of times that the word was finally passed to the beach that a ) man was in danger of drowning. By this time, Abbey said afterwards, he had gone down twice. "Mrs. Wallace swam out to him, and brought him in to the shore safely. Abbey has been In Charleston about four months, in the employ of the Bell Telephone Company. He is a native of St. "George. Mrs. Wallace has some good records in the way of swimming feats to he proud of. Last summer she made a fifteen-mile swim on the St. Lawrence River, and this is said to be the longest swim of the kind on record. At another time Mrs. Wallace swam a mile in the St. Lawrence River, with her hands and feet tied. This is also said to be a feat never performed before, so far as records show. Mrs. Wallace was easily a conspicuous figure on the beach at the Island Sunday. Her ro.bustly athletic build and symmetrical figure, displayed well in her reddish-brown bathing suit, aroused the admiration of all who saw her. In conversation Sunday with a reporter, Mrs. Wallace intimated an in*orttinn to null off some swimming stunts at the Isle of Palms, but she said she had heard some "shark" stories, and would probably investly* ?ate them a little before venturing out Into the zone in which these fish were said to have been observed. ) ? ? BLEASE WIBB BE BEATEN. i ? ftays a Man Who Has Travelled All Over the State. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says a well irtirtwn erentleman. who has travelled practically all over the State within the'past few weeks, was in Columbia Firday and in conversation expressed the belief that Judge Jones would beat Governor Blease overwhelmingly at the primary this summer. In fact, he stated that this sentiment was general wherever he went and < that everywhere he found voters who two years ago supported Governor . Dlease turning to Judge Jones and ' said this matter had impressed him < In every place he visited. 1 ? ? ? Act of a Brutish Man. At Monaco, Pa., with her flvemonths-old baby feeding at her breast, Mrs. Anna Bozono, aged 26, < was shot and killed Sunday night. : Michael Nebberstick, aged 64 whom < the woman had called a "scab" was 1 arrested. Mrs. Bozono's head was i blown off with a double-barreled ' i shotgun. The baby was unhurt. < ? + ? Stores Are Being Robbed. Two stores in San Marcos, Cuba, belonging to the Fidelity Company, an American concern were pillaged < by the negro rebels. The negroes i stole the stock of eight horses and : $500 in cash, J; V FIEND PUT TO DEATH BIGHT HUNDRED TEXANS BURN NEGRO AT STAKE. A Mob Takes Young Girl's Assailant From Tyler Jail and Gives Him to Fiery Fate. At Tyler. Texas. Dan Davis, a negro. was burned to death at four o'clock Sunday morning on the public square, after he had signed a written statement confessing that he tiad criminally assaulted a 16-yearold white girl. Eight hundred persons participated in the lynching. Before the match was touched to the pile of wood on which the negro had been placed by the mob, he was again asked if he was guilty. "I am guilty," he replied in a husky voice. A. moment later the flames were leaping high about his head. Davis implicated another negro in the crime, saying he is under arrest In Waco. Davis was brought here early Sunday from Athens, Texas. When membvs of the sheriffs force arrived at the jail with ihe negro, thoy were confronted by several hundred citizens who waD.od until the negro had written his confession and then demanded that he b9 turned ovqt to them. The'Officers and citizens inside the jail protested, but finally give the negro to the mob, whose numbers made protests useless, * the officers say. From the jail the man was led to the public square, where several wagon loads of wood had been piled. He was tied to a rail. As the flames enveloped him the negro's voice was hoarse and he showed fear, but there was no cry from him until the flames Beared his flesh, when he moaned. The crow dstood around the fire until it died down and little was left but charred bones and ashes. The work of the lynchers was done quickly and quietly. The determination of the men who had the execution in charge appeared to have a sobering effect upon them. In his written statement Davis told how he and another negro attacked the girl, who is the daughter of a farmer, as she was walking along a railroad track to Tyler, In mid-afternoon, Monday, May 13. She was first knocked down, he said. D. W. FUIiMER SHOT. And Instantly Killed by George W. Wolfe at North Augusta. George W. Wolfe, former marshal of North Augusta, now a private detective, shot and instantly killed D. W. FUilmer, a street car motorman, at the corner of Bluff and Clifton avenues, North Augusta, Friday night at 10:15 o'clock. From the evidence secured from eye-witnesses, Fulmer was sitting on the banister of the front porch when the first shot was fied, it not taking effect. Fulmer is said to have jumped up, ran into the house, secured his pistol and returned firing. Wolfe, it is said, ran around the corner of the house and as Fulmer followed him, he fired the last load in the shotgun, which struck Fulmer over the heart, nroducinc death instantly. Wolfe was shot in the left shoulder, the bullet ranging downward, and while his wound is dangerous, still it is not considered serious. Wolfe's wife who was seprated from him resided at the house where the killing occurred. She is the sister of the woman who lives there and she had been seprated from Wolfe for the past five months. ? ? ? SITUATION IN CUBA SERIOUS. Negro Uprising More Dangerous Than First Believed. Passengers arriving at Key West, Fla,. Saturday from Cuba report that the uprising in the eastern provinces is more than at first believed and that the authorities are unable to cope with the situation. Business houses at Santiago have instructed their connections in Ilavanna and elsewhere to cease shipping goods to them. It is stated there are 4,000 negroes in Santiago province alone who have joined tho rebellion, and a general race war is feared. Negroes from Jamaica and San Domingo are reported to have Joined the rebellion in large numbers. Cuban Consul Carrasco of this city has called a meeting of local Cubans for the purpose of raising volunteers for service in Cuba. ? mease's Pardon Record. Lance Kelley convicted in Darlington in September 1911, of manslaughter and sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment was to-day paroled by the governor during good behavior and on the further condition that he refrain from the use of intoxicating liquors. Since assuming office Governor Blease has exercised clemency in 370 cases. ? Negroes Capture Entire Town. A band of negro insurgents, apparently under General Ivonets command attacked and captured El Caney Del Sito, four miles from Palma Soriana] on Cubarr. f WILSON IS STRONG SENATOR GARDNER SAYS HE GOULD CARRY MAINE COULD CARRY COUNTRY | ? The Senator Thinks the New Jersey Governor the Strongest Candidate in the Race and Could Beat Teddy Roosevelt to a Frazzle in November. That Theodore Roosevelt will be the nominee of the Republican party at Chicago next month and that Woodrow Wilson is the one Democrat who can take his measure in November was the opinion expressed Friday in Washington by United States Senator Gardner of Maine. "With Roosevelt as the Republican candidate the Democratic convention at Baltimore will have to nominate its strongest man in order to win," remarked Senator Gardner at the capitol. "While I know that Roosevelt is insincere and a demagogue, his ability to lead people to believe that he is for them every day in the year and that he is a second Abraham Lincoln make him a most formidable candidate. "No ordinary Democrat can defeat him. Should the party at Baltimore record and one who has not accomnominate a candidate with a weak plished something there will be no contest. Roosevelt would have a walkover. A great opportunity is afforded the Democracy to win this year. It has a candidate with a record of magnificent accomplishments, a man who in intellectual capacity is second to none and a man who can meet Theodore Roosevelt on the stump or elsewhere. That man is Woodrow Wilson, the great governor of New Jersey, whose pre-election promises have squared with his accomplishments. Roosevelt would be on the defensive from the day of Wilson's nomination. "In my opinion the fine vote accorded Gov. Wilson in Gov. Harmon's home State more than ever emphasizes the fact that opportunity is offered the Democracy to win this year. The splendid race made by Gov. Wilson in Ohio, despite the fact that he did not make a speech there, is remarkable, to say the least. We have got to nomnate a progressive at Baltimore, and Gov. Wilson is the progressive candidate in this preconvention contest. "Personally speaking, I know that Woodrow Wilson oan carry Maine. His high character, courageous honesty and independence are admired by our people. His nomination would insure the party a 5,000 majority against Roosevelt in Maine. I would not hazard such an opinion with any other Democrat running. It will be suicidal for the Democrats to ienore the opportunity presented to them in this presidential contest. We want to carry Maine this year and to do this we need the impetus of a winning national campaign. Woodrow Wilson's fight will be such a campaign. He is the only man in the country who would have a fighting chance to carry the State against Roosevelt." Twelve Are for Wilson. Stuart G. Gibbons, campaign manager for Woodrow Wilson, issued a statement Friday night in part as follows: "After a very careful canvass of the delegates elected by the Virginia Convention at Baltimore, there is no doubt that Woodrow Wilson has at least twelve votes out of the total of twenty-four to be cast by Virginia The temperament of the Virginia Convention and the great enthusiasm shown for Woodrow Wilson there clearly indicates that he is the most popular in Virginia of any of those mentioned for the Presidency." With twelve delegates in Virginia Gov. Wilson now has 285 votes in the Baltimore convention. The marvelous run made by Gov. Wilson in Gov. Harmon s nome ?xaio was one 01 me big: surprises of the preconvention campaign. It now appears that tho Ohio Governor has obtained only 7,000 majority over Gov. Wilson in the entire State and that the New Jersey executive almost split even with him in the election of delegates In the congressional districts. A telegram from National Committeeman Harvey Garther of Ohio to Wilson headqtuarters states that the nrlmftrv was a victorv for Democratic progressives In the State, who selected one-half the delegation, Mayor Baker wired his belief that any attempt to adopt the unit rule would be defeated and ex-Gov. W. W. Durbln sent this message from Columbus to Wilson headquarters: "We have elected 20 out of the 42 district delegates against Gov. Harmon. The unit rule will be fiercely fought in the State convention. Such a rule can not apply to Ohio, and the State can not instruct in view of our primary law. Gov. Wilson carried Gov. Harmon's home county on the preferential vote, and loses the State by about 7,000." While there were no Instructions by the Virginia State convention, Gov Wilson's friends are satisfied that for the New Jersey executive, and among the number were R. E .Byrd, the manager in Virginia. Mr. Byrd RUNS ON HIS WORK WILSON REFUSES TO CANVASS , HIS HOME STATE. Governor Tells New Jersey Voters Opposition to Him Is Former Boss* | Last Desperate Stand. From Trenton N. J., on Friday r Governor Wilson issued an address "to the voters of New Jersey," in which he explained why he did not take the stump to ask for their votes at the coming primaries and attacked his opponents who have organized against him and placed on the primary ticket a full set of unlnstructed delegates to the national convention. The New Jersey governor is t the only candidate openly seeking s votes at the State primaries. After c announcing his candidacy the governor says: "I was unwilling to canvass the 1 State for your vote. I have spoken 1 freely in the past few months in the; ^ other States because my friends c thought I ought to make myself personally known there; but that should 1 not be urged as a reason in New Jer- * sey. You know me. For 18 months I have sought to serve you as gover- 1 nor of the State with a full sense of j the responsibilities you have imposed on me, and my record all the State f knows. Nothing that I could say upon the pubic platform could alter it, 1J either for better or for worse. It, would be unbecoming in me to com- ( mend it to you or to seek to give it ^ color by my own exposition of it. "What happenening within the Re- p publican party is obvious to the whole c country and a very unedifying spectacle it is. But what is happening in f this Sta,te with the Democratic party 1 is not so obvious. It is indeed, be- 1 ing done so quietly and secretly, J because it is being done by James Smith, Jr. (former United States senator), who knows no other way of 1 acting in politics, and he has no sug- 1 gestion to make to the voters of the * State which he can quite venture to make in public. He does not, I un- ' derstand, avow himself as in favor of 1 any particular candidate for the Democratic nomination; he is only oppos- * ed to me; and the men he has indue- 1 ed to offer themselves as candidates s to represent New Jersey in the national Democratic convention wish to be sent without instructions. "It is interesting to note how large a proportion of them are men who were candidates for appointment to office and whom I did not appoint. "What concerns us and makes the matter very much larger and more serious than the more incidental question of whether I am to be nominated at Baltimore or not is the fact ( that this is Mr. Smith's attempt to 1 re-establish his control over the Dem- < ocratic party and put himself more In a position to make the Democratic i machine an adjunct and partner of ( the old Republican machine in serv- \ ing the special interests in New Jer- ] sey. It is the last desperate attempt ] of the discredited old regime to destroy and supplant the new." j , THEY WILD ALL FLOP. ( Taft's Southern Delegates Said to be 1 ] On the Fence. ( A special to the State from Washington says the story leaked out ' there Fridav and was later confirmed * ! upon good authority that Southern Republicans are preparing to take 1 a hand primary on the presidential situation; that if Taft loses New Jer- 1 say next Thursday mass meeting will ! be called throughout the South and * that in all probability a scramble to the Roosevelt banner will be made. 1 Such a plan has been rumored here 1 more or less for several days; in ' fact, any one conservant with the c situation and coming in contact with Republicans from the South, who have been coming to Washington recently in large numbers to get the lay ; of the land, could not help being ^ thoroughly convinced that an impor- j tant move of some kind was on hand. ? ? ?

He received a charge of 2,300 volts. s j wired to Wilson headquarters in 1 Washington Friday that a good ma- I jority of the delegates can be relied c on to stand by Gov.

QUITE A WARM AFFAIR rhe Taft Men Say They Will Not Compromise on Contest, and it is a Dead Sure Thing That Roosevelt and His Crowd Are in Fighting Humor. The bitterness of the fight that is o rage about the Republican nationil committee when It begins consideration of the contest cases in Chicigo June 6 was emphasized Friday >y a statement from William B. Mckinley, head of the Taft forces. Mr. dcKniley declared it was becoming ipparent that Col. Roosevelt "and his bllowers will resort to every known neans to terrorize the Chicago contention." "That the time has come when the noral stamina of leaders of the Reniblican party is to bo tested as it ias not been since the Civil war is :ertain," Mr. McKlnley continued. 'It is within the power of the nationtl committee to make or break the Republican party for many years to ;ome. The party Is stTong enough to vithstand the shock of any attack vltnin or without, but no party can mrvlvG a compromise with principle, >r an abandonment of all principle." The McKinley statement was given >111 as the result of widespread re>orts that Col. Roosevelt desired the emoval from the national committee >f certain members whom he knew to )G strongly opposed to him. Mr. Mckinley's statement was followed by mother from the Taft bureau, in vhich it was asserted that telegrams drculated by the Roosevelt headquarters tending to show that the Taft supporters were considering a compromise were without foundation. "First, last and all the time," said this statement, "President Taft is in the fight to stay and his friends will stay with him until he is re-elected." rhe statement by Manager McKinley was most open and direct. "It must bo expected that those national committeemen whose consciences may force them to disagree with Mr. Roosevelt will be openly denounced by him," said Mr. McKinley, "and the whole committee will be misrepresented and villifled, collectively and Individually, by <Mr. Roosevelt, exactly as he has misrepresented and denounced those who have hitherto disagreed with him during his public career. "The Republican national committee itself made the rules under which delegates have been elected to the national convention, and its sole duty now is to see that these rules have been obeyed to the letter. "Tho frinnrla r\f Prnol/lont 'Poff * **v> ?- * Viu w 4. A A VWIUVU l< A (Ai-V lieve that the national committee as It is now constituted will do its full fluty by the party at Chicago. The friends of President Taft will not lay Lheir cases of contested delegates before the country until the national committee meets. They have no sympathy whatever in Roosevelt's endeavors to bring influence to bear upon the party tribunal?the national committee?before the evidence is heard. "To the country at large, however, the friends of the president protest against the tactics now being employed to excite popular passion against the members of the body of Republicans on the board before an iota of evidence In the contests to be dcof evidence in the connsts to be deeded has been laid before that body." From the Other Side. A Chicago dispatch says Ormsby McHarg of New York, one of the managers of Col. Roosevelt's campaign forces would refuse to abid-3 by the selection of United States Senator Ellhu Root of New York as terapor ..

McNarg said ho would have charge >f all Roosevelt contest to be taken jeforo the Republican national comnitte this year, as he did four years igo for President Taft. He declared that there would be at east 260 or 275 contested seats, as igainst 227 at the 1908 national con* mention.

"I have enough delegates to renominate me at the Chicago convention." That was President Taft's declaration Friday to a score or more of Republicans who met him at the luncheon given in his honor by State Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey at Summerville. The president's second campaigning day through New Jersey waa one of the hardest he has ever put on. He motored over dusty New Jersey roads, talked to thousands of persons, and fcept up his attack on Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The crowds that met the president were large and fairly demonstrative. "It is a very unwise and dangerous thing to depart from that wise tradition that limits a president to two terms," said the president in typical speech at Plainfleld Friday. "It is especially unwise with a man of Mr. Roosevelt's type with his capacity for appealing to the people, his ability to arouse the elements that are dis turbing in the community, preaching dictrines of discontent with his powerful personality, with his unsound constitutional views and with his impatience. It would be a calamity to put him in the White House again. "He has that power of centring upon himself the thought that he is epual to anything. It developed Saturday night in Cleveland when he said: 'I am the Republican party organization.' *\My friends, I do not cite that by way of ridicule. I only cite It to show tho character of the man and to what he has developed in recent years and I say that were he allowed to hold a third term in violation of that tradition , intoxicated as he < would bo with the sense of power from the conferring upon him of an office and an honor that has been denied to all the most illustrious presidents of the United States, it would not be safe to have him there and under these conditions. Those who love the republic must see to it that no such risk adheres to it." KliOPKI) WITH BEST MAX. Bride Found at East Moment She Lioved Him Best* On the eve of her wedding to Edwin G. Gilbert, iMJss Clara Parker, member of a prominent Gainesville ua., ramuy and noted ror her beauty, eloped with and was married to B. W. Sullivan, of Atlanta. Sullivan who was to be best man, says an Atlanta dispatch, was at Miss Parker's home with the other attendants for the wedding rehearsal. Just before the rehearsal was to begin, Sullivan and Miss Parker disappeared and so did Gilbert's touring car which was in front of the Parker home. It was soon learned that the couple had fled in the auto of the bridegroom-to-be. "I loved Ben best," said the bride in explaining the jilting of Gilbert for Sullivan. "She was my first sweetheart, and I had to have her," said Sullivan. "I congratulate myself I didn't get her," said Gilbert. "I got off lucky. I hope they will return my auto in good condition." ? ? THOUGHT IT WAS HIS WIFE. "Unwritten Law" Wins Acquittal for Macon Manslayer. On his own statement made to the jury, that when he saw a man embracing a woman in the dusk of the evening on his porch he thought it was Mrs. Tindall, and so fired on Charles H. Taylor, society blood, when ho advanced on him, George F. Tindall, a laundry wagon driver, was acquitted of murder in the Superior Court at Macon, Ga., Friday. Two months ago Tindall shot and killed Taylor, a prominently connected young man, when he found him altting on the porch of the Tindall home with his arm around Miss Lulu Carter, a sister of Tindall's wife. The girl testified that at the time Taylor was killed ho had in his nocket a marriago license and that they were to have been married the next day. m e Dies From Fall From Auto. Maj.
