PRIMARY TICKETS GOV. BLEASE'S CHARGE PROVES TO BE FALSE PLENTY TICKETS SENT ? Christie Bonct, Secretary of Democratic Committee, Makes Public Betters Showing That J. T. Richey,, of Pickens, Was Given Ballots as Requested. At the campaign meeting at Tickens on Wednesday in reference to his charge that the Jones people in* - i _ tend to count him out, ir possiuiu, Governor Bloaso said ho had received a letter from J. Manly Smith, exshoriff of IyCO county, saying that Stato ChaJrman John Gary Evans bad sent the Loe county chairman two thousand tickets for use in the primary, whereas there are three thousand names on the club rolls of Leo County. The Governor said also that the Pickens county chairman had been furnished two thousand tickets less than asked for. Lee and Pickens aro both Please counties, said the Governor, who decided the State chairman's alleged action in regard to the tickets showed "They are trying to count me out." The facts in tho case are directly in contradiction of tho Governor's statement. In the first place tho ballots for tho Stato primary were not sent out by John Gary Evans, State chairman, but by Christie Benet of Columbia, secretary of the Stato executive committee. " 1 * * r ^ I Iii reply to a letter written oy iur. lionet on July 13 asking how many "ballots would be needed in Pickens county, Mr. Richey wrote on July 15, "wo vote about 3,500 in this county and will be glad if you will send us 1 0,000 tickets." These tickets were shipped to Mr. Ritchie on August 15 by Mr. Ilenet. On August 19 iMr. Richey wrote Mr. Benet acknowledging the receipt of 10,000 State tickets and added, "I request 12,0 00 tickets. Kindly send me the other two thousand as I will need that many." Mr. Richey's first letter asked for only 10,000 tickets. The additional 2,000 tickets were sent Mr. Richey on August 20. Gov. Blease warped the record very badly in his speech at Pickens. , Mr. Richey's letters to Secretary Benet follows: "Christie Benet, Esq., State secretary execivtixo committee, Columbia, S. C.

The 2,000 tickets in addition to the 10,000 already sent, were shipped to Mr. Richoy on August 20. In order to bo absolutely sure that ? the tichets reached the county chairman, Mr. Benet sent them postals with an attached card for reply, giving the number of tichets shipped and the dato of shipment.

In his Pickens speech, Gov. Bleaso also said that J. Manley Lee, exsheriff of Leo County, had written / ; him that only 2,000 tickets had been sent to that county, whereas there were threo thousand names oil tho iclub rolls. Mr. Benet said Wednesday that this was an error on his part which he had corrected. Only 2,000 tickets were sont to Lee County when L. L. Baker, County Chairman asked for v 6,000. This mistake was corrected Wednesday when Mr. Benet personally delivered the additional 4,000 ' tickets to Mr. Baker who was in Co* Jumhia. Mr. 13enot purposely sent out the 600,000 State tickets on August 15 in order to allow plenty of time for correcting any such errors as that : mado in tho shipment to Lee County, t Mr. Baker's letter to Mr. Benet follows: 1 *1 '"Hon.

Took tlio Honey to Speculate in Real Estate And Lost It in Several Bad Deals. John A. Flack, the defaulting cashier of the Abilene State Bank, of Abilene, Kas., was arrested in New York Wednesday afternoon by detectives of a surety company. He admitted his identity and said ho would gladly go back and stand trial. The shortage, ho admits, is more uiau $75,000. He lias been missing since September, 1910. Flack was taken into custody as a result of a decoy advertisement in a local paper. Tho advertisement offered employment in an East Side establishment. Flack answered tho advertisement and was taken in charge by two dotectives. He admitted his identity, declaring ho was glad to hear his own name once more. "I've been going under assumed names." he said, "until I am sick and tired of It. I want to bo myself once more. I'm ready to go back to Kansas and face the music. I havo no excuses to offer. I did what I knew to bo wrong. 1 lost my nerve at tho ~ >?<? nnnr f ho rA 1 H wrong iiiuiiiuiii mxu uwn vuv*^ nothing left for to do but to take my medicine." The former cashier attributed his downfall to "land fever". He took tho bank's funds, ho said, to purchase "sure things" in city real estate, which later turned out to be losing propositions. "Before I left Kansas," said ho, "it was known among tho officials of tho bank that there was a shortage in my accounts. I thought, however, it was only about $30,000 to $35,000 After I came to New York to rest up mentally and physically I saw in the papers that the shortage was about $ SO,00 0. I then lost my head completely and could not summon the nerve to return to my homo town and friends." With only $3 00 ho came to New York with his wife and for the past two years he has been struggling for existence doing odd jobs on the doeks( in store houses ana wnen uie fear of detectives was not too great he ventured into business ofTices in the downtown district of the city to do clerical work. ? ?

A band of Mohammedan Arnauts supported by Turkish troops, Friday tracked a section of tho Christian population in the Berana district of Albania, which is one of the Montenorgin frontier. A fierce fight ensued and women and children are reported to have been murdered by wholesale. Many girls were made captive and carried ff by Mohammedans.

The government has ordered the minister of war, Gen Vukotlcs, to proceed to the frontier and personally to take charge of the situation in an effort to maintain order. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. ? Voting Man Told Girl to Leave, Then Killed Himself.

(TEDDY IS HIT AGAIN PENROSE SAYS HE ACCEPTED STANDARD'S COIN. WHEN ROGUES FALL OUT J Honest Men Will Get Their Dues, is j an Old Adage that Is Doing Verilled by the leaders of the Kopubj lican Party Telling on Kath OthI er. I The Republican leaders are telling I on one another, and confirming what I the Democrats use to say of them and the trusts. In a careful, delibI erato speech in the Senate on WedI nesday, Senator Penroso replied to charges made regarding a certificate of deposit for $25,000 sent to him by John D. Arch bold of the Standard Oil Company in 1904. j Senator Penrose admitted receivllne that sum from Mr. Archbold, but asserted it was part of a contribution of 125,000 made by Arclibold to the Republican national campaign fund, $100,000 of which, he said, was J to bo paid to the national committee and $25,000 to himself for use in Pennsylvania. "President Roosevelt had been advised of the contribution," Senator Penrose said. He said that later Cornelius N. Bliss, then treasurer of the national committee, asked for another contribution of $150,000 from Archbold and his associates "interested in the Standard Oil Company". "The demand was urgent, insisT ?" nn.nHiro nnrl If tern, i may say iui|jciuui v, was represented that it came direct from President Roosevelt," said Penrose forcefully. William Flynn, Roosevelt's leader in Pennsylvania, was scored by Penrose. The Senator charged that in 1904 Flynn offered him and Israel W. Durham "$1,000,000 or $2,000,000" Jf they would foster his candidacy to the Senate to succeed Senator Quay. Senator Penrose read what purported to be copies of telegrams to show that Flynn asked John D. Archbold to assist him in being elected. Senator Penrose also attacked E. A. Van Valkenberg, editor of the Philadelphia North American, and referred to the "effrontery, hypocracy and mendacity of the Van Valkenberg-Flynn combination". The galleries of the Senate were filled and were bright with feminine finery in response to the announcement that Senator Penrose was to speak. The floor was crowded with Senators and members of the House. lie read his sDeech from printed proofs and talked slowly and impressively. At tho conclusion of his speech the Senator promised further disclosures. Senator Stone of Missouri asked him if he knew anything of the contribution of E. H. Harriman to the 1 904 Republican campaign fund. "The papers are on file and letters exist," said Mr. Penrose, "which I think during tho campaign will see the light of day. I think it would be very benficial to the country if they should become public." "Where are they now?" asked Senator Stone. I "There are hidden in tho archives of campaign committees, in the cellars and vaults of business men, and in the offices of lawyers," returned Senator Penrose. "I think the time has come when these charges should be met and the American people should no longer bo gulled by answers which insinuate that another man is a liar." Senator Penrose hart the clerk read a newspaper interview with Col. Roosevelt in which the latter was |quoted as saying that Penrose hart I nothing to do with the presidential campaign of 1 904. The Senator said ho was a member of the national committee and chairman of the Pennsylvania State committee, and conducted the campaign in Pennsylvania. "Mr. President, is this ingratitude, mendacity or political aphasia?" he demanded. A ripple of laughter greeted this q uestion. Senator T>aeon asked to whom the $2,000,000 was to be pater by tho "citizen who wanted to be elected to the Senate?" "I suppose either to Mr. Durham or myself," responded Mr. Penrose. "Wo did not get that far in tho consideration of tho business." Senator Culberson of Texas, seeing a psychological opportunity called up his bill forbidding campaign contributions by corporations and limiting the amount to be contributed by individuals to $5,000. A filibuster dovelopod against tho, measure and after thirty-eight senators had forced a half dozen roll calls on it the Senate was foced to adjourn. ?

To tho Editor of Tho Stato: Seeing in newspapers tho condition of things at tho old soldiors' Homo I wish you would publish my aflldavit inclosed. John J. Wiso. Columbia, August 18. Stato of South Carolina?Richland County. Before mo personally appears John James Wise, and on oath says: 1. I was born in Aiken County, and I went into tho war of 1861 in the Second South Carolina Artillery, under Col. Lamar, Company (1, and surrendered at Greensboro, N. C., with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. I was wounded in tho leg at tho battle of Secessionvlllo, and in the side at the battle of Bentonville, carrying the ball to this day, and I was in tho hospital from tho wound at I nronnsboro at the surrender. I was never .absent from my command without permission. 2. I rodo with A. P. 'Butler's Red [Shirts in 1 876, and was at the Ellenttcn riot, with George Croft, Nat Butler and W. Brooks Harley (later of Columbia) by my side. Nat Butler and I captured the negro leader, Simon Coker, who was at the time a member of the legislature. He and 62 others were "put away" that day according to my count, though the newspapers made it small?only 22. There were 3 00 in my detachment, which operated in squads of about f>0. We were from Aiken and EdgeHeld and Augusta. The Barnwell detachment arrived later. 3. I did all that one man could well do for B. R. Tillman in 1890. 4. When my brother-in-law, Col. Frank M. Mixon, became commandant of the Confederate infirmary February, 1911, I was here on a visit, and he begged me to take the position of adjutant at the home, and I eventually accepted. Maj. H. W. Richardson was at that time chairman of the board in charge, by appointment of Gov. Blease. After the - ' - J 1 1 "O first mooting or row ouaru, mwiardson was tho board?the others, living away from Columbia, just seemed to leave everything with him. He ran everything. 5. Frank Mixon asked mo to take charge of tho few acres of land and make truck for the home. I said we must get a mule and start. Ho said, "Wait. ITal (meaning MaJ. Richardson) wanted to bring ono of his." Ho brought a horse and it wouldn't work to tho plow, and it stayed there and ato at the homo till it got fat. Wo tired tho plowing done by a man with his own mule, at considerable expense. We had some negro man hired at tho homo, who could havo done tho plowing if wo had owned a plow animal or could have hired ono without tho man with it. Richardson afterwards took his horse off and brought another, which worked all right, but was old. Frank asked mo what I thought the horse was worth. I told him about $5 0. He said Hal wanted more than that. * * * * 1 -,.1. ~T It was bougnc, ana was mere whcu * lefr last. December. It was allowed to get fat before it was bought, but wo used it from the beginning. Mixon would never tell me what was paid for it. lie would just say, "We paid enough/' 6. (Mr. Rtchardson brought throe pointer pups there, and turned ovor to tho cook to raise for him. They played and wallowed in my seed beds and I complained to him, but could not get rid of them. 7. Mr. Richardson had about two barrels of coal sent from the soMiers* horuo to his house at one timo, sayng that he could not get coal in town. Ho would take vegetables homo in his buggy regularly. Ho asked for them, and I put them in myself. We had plenty, but could have given them to the cows and hogs. Ho frequently asked for buttermilk and took it home with him. Repeatedly I was ordered by Col. Mixon to put a quart of liquor in Hal Richardson's i buggv, which T did. Richardson would come thore and ask for It. On re at Mlxon's request I shipped a gallon of whiskey and a gallon of disinfectant to Maj. Richardson at Allendale. Tie was down there, and Mlxon said, "I got a lotter from Hal thlo morning, and ho says ho wants me to ship him a gallon of liquor, and T reckon I will have to do It." When goods were delivered there, I received them and chocked the bills. Once thero wore two boxes of shirts, and I opened them and lookod at them, and I said to Col. Mlxon, "Frank, thero is a mistake about those shirts. Ton didn't buy dollar and a half shirts for old soldiers, surely." He said, "Keep quiet about that; that Is Hal's work. Hal made me a present of ono box, and the other box he is going to send to his boy at Allendale." There were a halfdozen shirts to the box, and they wero a dollar and a half apiece, $9 a TUt arn ivna ft wlllskOY CRSO thore, bought by Col. (Mixon for the home, to Bit on a table and opon like a writing desk. After Mixon's death, Richardson said he wanted somothing to remember Frank by and he took It homo in hia buggy. There are several other plckayunlsh things I could mention. 8. Col. Mixon onco told me, "Hal wants to get rid of you." I asked what ho had against me. Mixon repllod, "I reckon he wants your salary." Mixon said, "I am disappointed In Hal?he wants too much. The BANK Of Conwa Has largest capital and surplus of a than the combined capital and surp CAPITAL STOCK.. . ? .
