OLD VETS HOME ROW
OL SOLDIERS CLAIM THE RIGHT
TO VOTE FOR THE
MAN OF THEIR CHOICE
On? of th? Old Veterans Charges That
He Was Told That if lie Failed to
Vote for Governor Blease Ho
Wonld Be Discharged From the Institution.
Old soldiers quartered there and
the officials of the Confederate Home
aro busy writing to the papers explaining
the pros and cons of the recent
difficulty resulting in the whole
State being aroused over the situation;
fierce resentment being expressed
at what is sail to have been a
"hint" to one of the old soldiers that,
unless he voted for Rlease, ho would
be discharged; the suspension of a
Veteran from Lancaster County, the
home of Judge Jones, for thirty days,
and the chargo by Mr, John J. McMahan
that the chairman of the board,
Major Richardson, in allowing himself
salary is violating the law.
The controversy begun over the
publication of a statement coming
from an old soldier to the effect that
an employee of the Home, Edward
Jones, a supporter of Judge Ira 13.
Jones, for Governor, had been given
~ Kv Mninr TT TV "R i oil Jird SO n.
<t 11 HIl, U J JHUJU. A., ... ,
the chairman of the board, that unless
he voiced for Governor Blease he
would be "fired". The matter was
aired in the press and Major Richardson
denied any attempt at coercing
the old soldiers or attempting to
influence thein to vote for Blease. It
seems that Major Richardson made
a speech to this effect at the Home
and denied Veteran Massey the right
to reply, at least that is the charge.
Subsequently more charges and denials
passed and then Veteran Massey
was suspended from the Home for
thirty days on the charge of being
drunk, and in a card Major Richardson
stated that he had a petition
signed by a number of the Veterans
asking that Massey bo barred from
the old Soldiers Home.
It should have been stated that
Major Richardson is an ardent supporter
of Governor Blease. Former
Representative J. J. McMahan, who
is running for the Legislature in this
county, wrote a letter to the press
in which he stated that the records
showed that Major Richardson had
been drawing a salary and pointed
out that the Act creating the Home
allowed the members of the board no
salary. He called for light. In his
reply Major Richardson stated that
he had drawn the salary as treasurer
of the Home, saying, "As chairman
I draw no salary. The money I earn
is for my services as treasurer, bookkeeper
and general manager."
The last card was signed by thirty
of the old soldiers at the Homo and
declared that they have no knowledge
of the petition which Major
Richardson says he holds from a
number of them asking for the permanent
discharge of Veteran iMassey.
The whole matter has caused intense
interest throughout the State and
the people are stirred up over it. It
is said that out of about sixty odd
soldiers who reside at the Home all
.favor Jones but about six.
What Richardson Says.
In his statement Major Richardson
says: "For nearly a year I have
served the Confederate Home withoue
one cent of remuneration. On
December 1, 1911, I resigned as
chairman of the board, my personal
business requiring my time, but still
having the interest of the old soldiers
at heart, went before the finance
committee of the Senate, accompanied
by Dr. Butler, the night beforo
the legislature adjourned, and showed
by actual figures the needs of tho
Home.
Tho patriotic gentleman, chairman
of the finance committee of tho Senate,
heartily agreed with me that tho
appropriation should be increased,
and it was increased from $14,000 to
$20,000. Then on March 11, 1912,
I was called back by the Governor to
tho board meeting, and was unanimously
elected chairman and treasurer
and voted a salary under bond.
My time ever since has been given
to the homo. I audit all tho accounts.
keen the books, give out all
contracts, and am responsible by order
of the board for tlio management
of the funds and the Confederate infirmary.
"As chairman, I draw no salary.
The money I earn is for my services
as treasurer, bookkeeper and general
manager. As to the legality of my
salary and Dr. Butler's, we presume
the Comptroller-General, who has so
ably conducted his ofilco for years
and disburses the funds for every
paid official of the State, knows his
1 business."
Veterans' Statement.
The signed statement from the old
soldiers follows:
We, the undersigned, Inmates of
the Confederate Home, seeing in today's
issue of the State newspapers a
statement made by Major Richardson I
that he now holds a petition from I
mary of the inmates of the Home declaring
that Massey is not a fit inmate
of the Home and asking for his
permanent discharge. We, the undersigned,
declare most positively
that we have no knowledge of any

GASOLINE ENGINE TROUBLES
? ? m
Some Remedies Suggested by dona>
t .
son College On The Subject,
There are many farmers over this
county who have gasoline engines
la use, either to furnish lights, pump
water, or run some farm machinery.
The Clemson College authorities have
lately issued a Bulletin, entitles
"Some Gasoline Engine Diseases and
Their Remedies," which we produce
tor the benefit of those who have
gasoline engines. The article follows.
When a gasoline engine that is
known to have carried a load refuses
to do so again wo should not condemn
the machine as a whole, but
should understand that prodadly one
small thing is out of order, and we
should search for and repair this
trouble. The best general treatment
for tho diseases or trie gasoiin? engine
is to make free use of tho proverbial
ounce of provention in the
form of gasoline, good cylinder oil, a
gcod battery, a good wiping rag, and
a frequent close inspection of all
bearings and working parts. South
Carolina has no law regulating the
quality of gasoline offered for sale,
and the farmer must sometimes accept
inferior gasoline or do without.
The low grade gasoline contain
cheaper, less volatile oils, and do not
vaporize easily, especially in cold
weather. Pouring hot water in the
carburetor will help to get the engine
started in case there is this trouble,
and the heat from the engine itself
will usually vaporize tho gasoline
after the engine warms up.
If gasoline contains water it may
hr? romnvfi bv strainine throuch a
piece of very fine wire cloth or
throgh a piece of chamois skin.
Regarding cylinder oil, on account
of the very high temperture of the
intertior of the gasoMne engine cylinder
a special oil having a high burncylinder.
Ordinary machine oil oil
or steam engine cylinder oil should
never be used as the heat of the gasoline
engine cylinder chars these oils
cylinder hith a deposit of carbon that
soon prevents contact in the sparker
and stops ignition.
The writer has in the case of one
gasoline engine which was in excellent
condition being discarded by the
operator, on the ground that it could
not be depended upon, when the only
trouble was that the operator, despite
repeated advice to the contrary, insisted
on filling the lubricator with
any oil that black and thick. Use a
good grade of gasoline cylinder oil
and not more or it man me manu-i
facturer's directions call ofr.
if ignition is by means of a battery
one secret of a successful operation
is to know your battery. Every gasoline
engine operator should have a
battery ammeter which may be
bought for small sum, and with this
the battery should be tested frequently.
A good quality of dry cell suitable
for ignition shonld read from
twenty-five to thirty amperes when
new, and a cell should be thrown
away when it will read lower than
six amperes.
One dead cell in a battery greatly
reduces its power and should be replaced
as soon as discovered.
Battery connections should be examined
frequently, as they are very
disposed to work loose, especially if
the battery box is subject ti any
chobintr
A source of trouble in gasoline engine
operation is the occurence of the
spark at the wrong time. When the
spark occurs in the cylinder the gaseous
charge is ignited and burns very
rapidly, producing the pressure in
the cylinder. Since a small amount
of time is required for the maxiafter
the ignition to occur slightly
before the piston reaches the end of
the compression stroko in order that
the piston may be started on the
working stroko with the greatest
pressure acting on it.
If the ignition occurs any after the
end of the compression stroke, a very
great loss of power results. When
it is necessary to change the time of
ignition it can best be done by trial,
the adjustment being made to produce
the greatest power in the engine.
This is very easily judged
after a little practice.
Regulation of the gasoline valve in
the carburetor will vary with different
atmospheric conditions, and
should always beset to socuro greatest
power.
? ?
Does Very Little (iood.
In event of the Steel Trust being
dissolved it will not bo wise to expect
very much to accrue to the benefit
of the public. As a matter of
sentiment and on general principles
most people hope dissolution may bo
" * - ~ 1 ~ 4L/v
ordered. Also tnero is uiwujb mvi
hope that something better .may bo
accomplished next time. Hut, jugd-[
ing from the results following the
dissolution of the Standard Oil and
i other trusts there is not much prospect,
as tho Sherman Act now stands,
[that dissolution will be of very great
[public advantage. With an ability
and genius worthy of a better cause
tho officials of the very corporations
already dissolved havo seemed to
flourish on dissolution. Still it Is a
long lane that has no turning and
perhaps tho turn is almost reached.

SEVEN DIE IN CHAIR
ALL OF THE VICTIMS WERE EXECUTED
FOR MURDER.
Six Wcro Italians and One a Negro,
ft
and They All Met Their Fate
Quietly.
Seven murderers were electrocuted
in New York Sing Sing prison Monday
morning. This is the largest
number of criminals to suffer the
death penalty by electricity on any
one day since the electric chair was
adopted as a method of capital punishment.
The six Italians and one
n nirm PVAniited Monday morning
went to their deaths quietly. The
wardens work was accomplished
within an hour and sixteen minutes.
The condemned were put to death in
the following order:
John VW Cdtlins, Lorenzo Cali, Savatore
Demarco, Filepo Demarco, Angelo
Giusto, ,Vicenso Cona, and Joseph
Ferrone. j
Prison guards expected that Ferrone
might put up a fight 011 his way
to the execution chamber, but he
walked meekly^to the chair.
Cona fainted t^s the straps were being
adjusted about the body. The
cap was fixed quickly and the lethal
current sent through his body.
All tho prisoner^, with the exception
of Colins, walked into the death
chamber protesting'their innocence.
Colins c^me in smilingly and seemingly
happy. Ho did not deny his
guilt. He prayed on his knees at the
chair for a minute before I10 was executed.
Giusto, Cona, Cali and the two Demarco/
were convicted of the murder
o? Mrs. Mary Hall in a lonely farmhouse
at Griflin's Corner, in Westchester
county, on November 9, 1911.
Znaza, the sixth member of the band
of assassins, was electrocuted July 8,
after he had confessed in a letter to
Governor Dix that he had stabbed
Mrs. Hall to death.
I The others were convicted as participants
in the crime. The men
gained access to the house on the
pretext of buying milk.
Colins, who was a young Florida
negro, killed Michael Lynch, a New
York city policeman, on the morning
of July 1, 1911.
THREAT MADE GOOD.
Confederate Veteran Suspended at
Soldiers' Home.
Some time ago we published an article
about an incident at the Confederate
Home in which Mr. Samuel F.
Massey, charged that the employees
of the Home were being forced to
vote for Blease through a threat of
removal. Mr. Massey has been suspended
for 3 0 days. The charges
preferred against Mr. Massey are insubordination,
breach of rules,
drunkenness and insulting a member
of the board of commissioners.
Mr. Massey says that he was not cited
to appear before any members of the
board and that only two members of
the board were present, Mr. Richardson
and Dr. F. W. P. Butler.
ITe received the following communication
:
"Columbia, S. C., August 7, 1912.
"J. P. Caldwell, Superintendent Confederate
Infirmary.
"Sir: You are hereby ordered to
suspend Samuel F. Massey, an inmate
of the Confederate Infirmary for 30
days. Charges: Insubordination,
breach of rules, drunkenness and insulting
a member of the board of
commissioners.
(Signed) " H. W. Richardson,
"Chairman and Treasurer."
"Soldiers' Home, August 7, 1912.
"To Samuel F. Massey. In obedience
to the above order you are
hereby suspended from the Confederate
Infirmary for the space of 30
days.
(Signed) "J. P. Caldwell,
"Commandant."
The trouble ending in the suspension
of 'Massey had its beginning
when Maj. Richardson, chairman of
beard of commissioners and a salaried
officer, appointee of Gov. Please
told Fdward J. Jones, a Confederate
veteran, but not an inmate of the
Soldiers' Home, that he could not
hold his job as hospital steward at
the Home if he did not bestir himself
in behalf of Please. Massey heard
of the threat, and understood that it (
applied to all employees whether in
maies or ine nome or noi, una ho roported
it. Later, Maj. Richardson,
in a talk to all employees, denied that
he referred to all employees.
Mr. Massey was not then allowed
a hearing, and made a statement in
the newspapers. Ho did not regard
Maj. Richardson's admonition not to
use his name, and his suspension is
the final result.
Massey's Record as Veteran.
Mr. Massey was a member of Co.
A, Second Batallion, cavalry, under
Capt. Jas. P. Adams, of Richland
county. He was afterwards in Co.
H, Fourth South Carolina cavalry,
commanded by Col Rutledge, and was
under Capt. J. C. Foster. Ho was
wounded at Trevillion station hut
went through the battle anyhow. He
is from Lancaster county.
Turn About Fair Play.
That professor who suggosted that
preachers in country churches should
"cut out theology" and take to the
study of agMculturo meant well no
doubt, but he was a little wide of the
mnrk Admitting that too much the
ology of ft certain type may sometimes
be preached it will occur to everyone
that any community would be a poor
plaee in which to live if no theology
wore found in tho pulpit. Religion
could not well exist without it and
certainly there is never too much religion
of tho practical kind. No
doubt preachers might with great advantage
learn more about agriculture
and, then, too, some professors might
bo benefitted by a course In theology.
JUDGE IRA B. JONES
HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD
AND USEFUL CITIZEN
IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE
The Candidate for Governor Worked
His Way to the Top, and Has Served
the State in Positions of Honor
and Trust With Fidelity and Abil
icy.
It is right that the people or south
Carolina should know the fact about
the candidates in tho race for Governor
before the 2 7th of August because
110 one can vote properly unless
he votes intelligently and to
vote intelligently one must know the
record of the candidates. This article
is written to let the people know
about Judge Jones.
Few people know that Judge Jonos
is a man of the people. He is proud
of tho fact that in Newberry county,
where lie was born, there are still
people living who remember that his
father was a respected carpenter and
his mother assisted her husband in
the support of the family by sewing
for the neighbors.

Jones looked at life seriously. His
schoolmates remember that often in
the afternoon when they were at play
lie would go in early to study for his
classes the next day, and they testify
to the fact that he gave early promise
of becoming an upright man and a
useful citizen.
' Ry careful study and by taking advantage
of such meager opportunities
as were offered, he obtained a
fair education. Schools were not
then what they are now and that is
probably the reason why Judge Jones
remembering his own difTiculties and
wishing to smooth the road for other
poor boys declared that as governor
"The Improvement and Development
of the Common Schools
shall have my keen interest and hearty
support."
It would be easy to tell and might
be interesting to learn how young
Jones having gotten an education
moved to Lancaster county and began
the practice of law. IIow clients
came slowly at first and how later
having inspired the continence of the
people in his home town he acquired
o lot-fTA fin/1 nnvini? nractice. What
tv 4WI p>v "44r^ ?o x we
are chiefly interested In, however,
is his political career. ?
In 1S00 Ira B. Jones was elected
to the Legislature from Lancaster
County and it is evident that ho was
widely known and that his ability
had been recognized, for he was at 1
once mado chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House j
and was later elected its Speaker.
Those were stirring times, for the '
great reform government had just
swept over South Carolina and par- 1
ty spirit ran high. Senator Tillman,
then Governor, was instituting many 1
needed reforms and Judge Jones, as !
Speaker of the House, did efficient
service. Be it said to his credit, 1
however, that although the whole ?
State was aroused ny ponucai am- ?
mosities, Judge Jones so conducted 1
himself as to receive the hearty applause
of his friends and at the same 1
time, by his fairness, he won the re- f
spect and confidence of those who I
had been his political opponents. t
It came, therefore, as a natural re- <
ward for service that in 1896 he was I
elected Associate .tustice of the high- 1
est Court in the State. It may be (
mentioned in passing that his present
opponent in the race for Governor i
seconded his nomination and voted 1
foi him for Associate Justice. Hav- i
ing served twelve years as Associate <
Justice, in 1 909, upon the retirement *
of Chief Justice Pope, Judge Jones <
was elevated to the position of Chief c
Justice, which is the highest judicial
position in the gift of the State. 1
It may be truthfully said that no i
Judge in South Carolina in many <
years has enjoyed greater reputation i
both for ability and honesty than Ira <
H. Jones. The same industry and
conscientious performance of duty
which was noticeable in him as a j
young man had characterized his
work as a Judge.
He has been the recipient of honors
from his fellow men and the em- 1
eluments of office, but the satisfaction '
of a hard day's work well done has <
ever been his best reward.
Among the charges hurled at Judge ;
Jones by his political opponent is (
that he has leaned toward corporarions.
Suffice it to say that as attorney
he never represented a corpora- *
tion and as a Judge ho repeatedly upheld
largo verdicts against the corporations.
In the case of Rhodes vs.
the Granby Cotton Mills of Columbia, 1
ho upheld a verdict of $8,000 in fav- j
or of Rhodes on the ground that
there was evidence that ho had been
unjustly discharged ancj blacklisted
by the cotton mills. Tho verdicts
which ho sustained against the railroads
would run up into tho hundreds
of thousands of dollars, there <
being one verdict against tho Southern
Railway Company for $25,000
and many others for large amounts.
He has never leaned either toward
o.* against corporations, but his decisions
and rulings have been what
-- ? ? -i 1 J 1- ~ 4..n?
those or every juago snouiu u??judi
and fair to all.
As Citizen, Lawyer, Legislator,
Judge ar.d Chief Justice, Ira R. Jones
has "mado good". He has lived an
upright moral life; is a conscientious
member of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church, is temperate in
his habits, and has measured up to
all the requirements of a true and
useful man. It should be remembered
that this man who is now before
the people in the race for Governor
has never in his life been charged
with anything unbecoming tho highest
and best citizen until his opponent
brought charges against him.
Tho absurdity of theso charges <mn

TERRIBLE BUTCHERY
MANY SIIOT TO DEATH ON MEXICAN
RAILWAY TRAIN.
?
Fingers and Ears of Women Hacked
Off as Quickest Way to Get Their
Jewels.
A dispatch from Mexico City says
thirty-six soldiers and more than
twenty passengers were slaughtered
by Zapatastas Monday afternoon in a
canyon, one kilometer north of Ticuman,
110 miles southwest of Mexico
City, when a passenger train, southbound
from Mexico City, was attacked
from ambush.
Meager details, which did not
reach the city until Tuesday afternoon,
indicate that the savagery displayed
was not less, and perhaps
greater, than that which characterized
the massacre of troops and passengers
on a train between Cuernavnca
and Mexico City on July 2 0. So
far as known Tuesday night only a
part of the train crew escaped.
The first story of the assault was
sent to Mexico City by Conductorj
Marin and Collector Dominguez, who
although wounded, had managed to [

miles away. They were forced to
steal through the Zapatista lines and
did not arrive at the telegraph station
until Tuesday afternoon.
After the firing ceased the rebels
swarnjed down the hillsido and set
fire to the three cars composing the
train. A few of the wounded had
crawled out onto the right-of-way,
thus escaping the fate of those unable
to leave the cars. They wore
burned, according to reports received.
The leader of the rebels made absolutely
no effort to restrain his men
from acts of brutality greater than
any that has yet marked the campaign
in the South.
The wounded, pleading for their
lives, were struck down without pity,
and even looting was held in abeyance
until the slaughter was complete.
Not satisfied with robbing their
victims in ordinary manner, the fin
;ers 01 moil aim wumcn wuiu
led off with machetes in order that
he rings they wore might bo more
luiekly secured. Ornaments were
orn from the ears of the women and
lound child at the University hospitid.
Among the passengers were two
lewspaper men, who were among the
tilled. They were on their way to
nterview Emiliano Zapata, the chief
if the rebels. One of these, H. L?.
Strauss, a native of Uruguay, and'
consular agent of his country in this
;ity, was employed at one time on the!
STew York Herald. He was making
lis trip into tho Zapata territory as a
epresentative of El Imparcinl. Tho
ither correspondent was Ignacio Herraras
of El Pais.

Only Way to Cur? Evil.
In all the turmoil of political strife
ii this country there seems to bo a
practical agreement that the cost of
living is too great and that it ought
to bo lessened. Whore tho difference
In onlnion comes in is as to tho metli
Dds by which the cheaper living may
bo attained. Probably no one believes
that a return to former pricos
can with every commodity bo effected?the
general rise throughout the
civilized world prevents that. Doubtless
somo relief can be obtained by
more economical living for it is an
unquestioned fact that in most American
homos extravagance In living has
Increased in recent years. But for relief
in many things there must be a
removal of those privileges that have
enabled trusts to stifle competition,
control the market and put up the
pricos to suit themselves.

Ira B. Jones is no political experiment,

service which has always characterized
his work in their behalf.

Americans have every reason to be
proud of the results of the Olympic
games in Stockholm. Victory ^fter
victory falling to the athletes from
this country have shown the world
the benefit of systematic training,
specialization, and of engaging seriously
in any undertaking. These
very points which so materially contributed
to America's success were
conspicuously absent among the English
athletes and as a consoquence
Great llritain, which once led the
world in sport, fared badly at the
games. Of course, England does not
feel happy over tho outcomo and
some of its newspapers sneer at specializing
and other features. But tho
truth remains that success can no
more bo gained in sports than in

this tho American contestants did
