/ WOMEN FOR WILLSON THEY HAVE FORMED MANY CLUBS TO WORK FOR HIM THFY ARE KARII AT WORK I The Women of the Entire Country Are Showing Croat Interest in the Democratic Campaign, and Their Votes Will Count in the States Where They Are Allowed to Vote. A dispatch from New York says the first time in the history of the country professional women are to be real factors in the political situation this fall. The latest addition to the ranks of women's political activities is the recently organized "Professional Women's Wilson and Marshall League," an organization national In its scope, with headquarters In the Fifth Avesauo Buildiug .New York. The organization was founded by Miss Willette Kershaw, tho actress who did so much for tho women's suffrage cause while touring the country two years ago as the loading woman In "The County tBoy". I^ast year Georgo Iironson-Howard wrote for her the suffrage play "Snobs" In which she essayed the leading role. Miss Kershaw Is also chairman of tho Organization Committee which is composed of ten women drafted from the following professions, #two law, two stage, two medical, two newspaper ,one representative from Child's Welfare Association, and one woman thoroughly familiar with factory and shop conditions throughout tho country where women and children are employed. This committee is in turn assisted by an advisory Board composed or National Committeemen from each Btate. Upon Miss Allyne E. Sheerer of Chicago, tho National Secretary, has fallen tho task of organization. Tho New York Headquarters under her leadership has developed into a political boe-hivo in tho past week. Miss Kershaw is tho first woman of the League to tako the stump. She and 'Mrs. Borden Harriman ,tho New York society leader, are in fact the only two women who have thus far addressed outdoor mass meetings on behalf of tho Wilson campaign. Mrs. Ilart iman has spoken at several large meetings in New York and on Labor Day Miss Kershaw addressed three thousand factory employees in Philadelphia, where she opened her new Suffrage play, "Whom does Helen bolong to?" During her two weeks engagement In Philadelphia she will distribute literature and buttons at her various meetings and devote her specific arguments to tho industrial legislation as it affects women and children, and the tariff as It affects tho home. In an interview given out after her meeting in Philadelphia, Miss Kershaw said ."Irrespective of party aflfll iatlons, I uoiieve we women snouia turn heaven and earth In an effort to Influence the vote of the man who has the interests of the working woman and child at heart, and when a man already in office has dono so much to further legislation to this end, I believe he deserves the support of women everywhere. It is a crime and a disgrace to this nation to allow great corporations to fatten 011 the labor of poor half-starved children. The stage to my mind Is the most flagrant example of this corporate greed, and I speak from experience. I played my first juvenile part when I was seven years old, and was carted back and forth all ovec-the map In the next seven years. I had no childhood. When I grow up I Towod that if I could ever help a cause that would abolish child labor I would consider that my great achievement In 11 fo. I h ive watched Governor Wilson's record very closely. Ho has mado good, and all wo ask Is that Intelligent women of the country read this record and 'tho hand that rocks the cradle' will bring to boar more Influence than the combined efforts of till the political spell-binders in this country. 1 am not a suffragette, and tho women in our organization aro not working for the ballot just now. That will come later. I have influenced audiences all my life, but tho only audience wo want Is the average woman to influence in this campaign is tlie 01.o opposite her at the breakfast table." * ? + ? ? Pivo Tramps Killed. Two men were killed, three arc missies and probably dead, and thousands of dollars damage was dene a? the result of an accident on a fast freight train on the New York Central railway, a mile east of Fort Plain N.

The Open Frauds Already Discovered Leave Nothing Else for the Committee to Do. A dispatch from Columbia says that the widespread debauchery of the late South Carolina primary will lead to settlement of all differences at the general election the second Tuesday in November now seems the predom in urn opinion among inose wno are in closest touch with members of the State Executive Committee. While the sub-committee which will probe charges of crookedness at the polls beginning next Wednosday has given out no intimation of what It intends recommending to the full committee if fraud charges are proven, it is generally conceded that the risk of fraud in a second primary would be almost as great as in the first primary and it is this danger of illegal practices that the committee, with all good democrats, wish to avoid. Ordering the names of Judge Jones and Governor Bleaso before the voters at the general election is entirely within the legal rights of the executive committee. If affairs take this conducted with fairness as only those turn the election will undoubtedly be bearing registration certificates can vote. Tho registration hooks closed recently. This precludes the over zealous and illegal voters from getting busy at a late date. There'll bo no stuffing the boxes if tho committee makes this deposition of the case.

Contributions for the investigation has been sent in from every part of the State from Jones supporters. Very little, if any has come from the supporters of Governor mease. The primary system is on trial. Will the committee vindicate it? The committee declares it will know no man or set of men in the discharge of its duty. Looking straight ahead with no object in view but to determine the truth, the committee will probe to the very heart of the crookedness, turning on the light and applying the remedy needed. The committee is nearly evenly divided between the followers of Jones and (Blease. THREE AEROPLANISTS KILLED. * Bavarian and Two English Army Officers Perish.

WANT PRIMARY SAFE IT IS MOKE IMPORTANT THAN KIJCASE OK JONES. An Anderson Man Calls on Committee to Do its Duty and Throw Out Ijast Primary. Mr. D. H. Russell, of Anderson, in "tter to The State says: To tho Editor of The State : The problem before tho Stato Democratic executive committee demands heroic treatment. It is a situation A 1 / J 4U.X Ml at naB uevur uuuiruiuuu mu pax ijr beforo, but I have faith to believe that the men at the helm will measure up to the needs of the occasion. Something has to be done and done quickly *or the primary Is gone. With fraud and irregularities manifest in perhaps a majority of the counties, and with both sides admitting it, will the State executive committee allow the work of fraud to stand? Judge Jones charges fraud; the governor charges it, but without knowing the facts, with his characteristic recklessness, charges it to the Jones men. I do not know who has committed the fraud?whether they are Jones or IMease men?nor does it make any difference who did it. The unquestioned, undeniable fact stands out that fraud was committed in tho recent primary op such a wholesale scale that the entire election is honeycombed with tho rottenness of fraudulent voting. It seems to me that the duty of the State executive committee is clear? to throw tho whole putrid mass over board, and either to order another State primary (but with sufficient safeguards around it to prevent fraud or to throw tho whole matter into the ireneral election where we do have some safeguards. It may be said that this will destroy the primary. I reply that it is already destroyed under its present cnditions, and fraud must bo stamped out if the primary has to be destroyed to do it. We must have clean and honest elections above all things. Already I hear some of our best men here in Anderson say they will never participate in another primary under the same conditions, and I for one will not do it again. The folly of the Democratic party in the past is plain to be seen in the light of the rerent election. We have thrown strong safeguds around an election that does not count and left all the doors open?back, front and side, in an election that does count. It is a monumental farce as well as a monumental folly, and it is high time to undo it. Gentlemen of the executive committee, what will you do about it? You can not afford to let this brazen f rn iwl ota nd r rl 1 r?cn r\ f nrlirvn* 1 f ii a uu otaiiU) i 4 uiuoo ui >t huui it hurts, whether Jones or Rlease. The party and the State have something higher at stake than either one of them. If you can not order another primary with strong safeguards around it, then send the question to the general election to be settled. Another primary, unsafeguarded like the recent one, is too great a farce to be put upon honest Democrats. D. H. Russell. i ? < DIES IN AUTO WRECK. ? Lutheran Minister Meets With a Horrible Death.

The Augusta Chronicle of Thursday morning says as a result of eating ice cream made of eggs, lemons and condensed milk, nine persons are ill; one fatally, one critically, and of the others two have practically recovered while five others aro seriously ill at this time. The poisoning occurred Monday afternoon between Ave and six o'clock when Mrs. Lula Etheredge, wife of Wm. 13. Etheredge, of 1321 Barrett Street, made a churn of ice cream, in celebration of Labor Day, using condensed milk. Mrs. Etheredge, out of kindness for the sick or afflicted sent some of the cream to a neighbor, a Mr. Gay who has been sick for some time, and he and his two little children partook of it, the result being that he is fatally ill and the two children aro in a critical condition. Those who are poisoned are: Mr. and 'Mrs. Wm. 13. Etheredge; Mrs. Etheredge's mother and fathor; Mr. and Mrs. L. Lyles; Mrs. Ethoredge's two brothers, Messrs. Allen and Walker Lyles, and Mr. Thomas F. Gay and his two small children whose names aro not known. After eating the croam Mrs. Ethoredge and a son of two years, Lamar, went to visit relatives who live on Chafee Avenue, where Mrs. Etheredge left the baby for the night. The next morning the child was ill, the mother was sent for, and answer was brought that she, too, was seriously ill. The relatives worked unceasingly over the child and the doctor in attendance said that the little one's fever was as high as 102 1-2 at one time. He is now out of danger. Mr. Etheredge states that ho ate only a small amount of cream and was not violently ill at any time, lie is now up and attending the sick. ?.Mrs. Etheredge was in such a serious condition at one time that no hopes were entertained for her recover v. but she has since improved considerably. Most of those that are now ill were affected Tuesday morning, ex ept Messrs. Allen and Walker Lyles who wero affected Tuesday evening It is interesting to know that all had hard chills followed by high fever. The doctor in attendance says it is his opinion that the condensed milk which was used was the cause of the trouble, which is thought to bo ptoinv poison. Then, ajse, the contamination of the lemon juice and the zinc freezer may have had something to do with it, but of exactly what naturo the poison is has not as yet been assertained. ? ?

The New Regulations, Which Hm m Their Object, the Iiessenlng of Sunday Labor Causes Kicks. Following the supplementary lnstrctions from tho Post office department which had been Issued concerning tho new Sunday mail law, the new law was put into force in alls ita details for the second time on Sunday. No box mail was distributed except 10 newspapers, news-ueaiers and hotels. The orders are In compliance with a recent Act of Congress and issue dfroin th eoffico of the first assistant Postmaster General. The supplementary instructions received are as follows: "From numerous communications received at the department there appear sto bo some misapprehension among postmasters as regards the provision in the postoffico Appropriation Act for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1913, relating to the delivery of mail on Sunday at first and second class post offices concerning which certain instructions were issued by circular lotter dated on the 24th instant. "This provision as construed by the Postmaster General does not require that the lobbies of such offices bo closed on Sunday but simply that th? delivery of mail to the general delivery, carrier windows, and boxes be discontinued. Mall received in timo for distribution into such boxes before midnight on Saturday should be distributed to the boxes, and bs available to lock-box holders on Sunday, as usual. "The only mail that will bo affected under tho Postmaster ?Gneral's construction of tho new law is that received a tthe postoffico on Sunday, which has hitherto been distributed 1 o lock-boxes, and of this mail that intended for newspapers, and for hotel guests, and also newspapers addressed to nwsdealers, should bo distributed to the boxes as hitherto. "The purpose of the law is to reduce as far as practicable the amount of Sunday labor in postoliices. However, the movement of transit mail and tho distribution of mall collected in cities for dispatch to other destinations miis the continued, and i norder that the early delivery on Monday may not bo delayed mail received on Sunday for delivery by carriers on / * Monday morning, as far as practicable should be worked after midnight on Sunday. Clerks when making up direct packages that will reach first and second class olhces on Sunday should place letters addressed to newspapers and hotels on top of tho packages immediately under tho special delivery matter, should there bo any, and daily papers published on Sunday should be kept separate and dispatched in sacks so labollod as to show their contents. "It is believed that if the suggee uons nerein aro carermiy observed with refernec to putting lip mail in the ofllco of origin a satisfactory distribution can bo made in postofllceB on Sunday with even loss work than is now required and without inconvenience to the public." These oredrs aro expocted to cause very little inconvonienc. Mail will b delivered as usual to hotels, newspapers and nowodealtrs, and only the private mail will bo affected. * i WILL SLAY THE FLIES. , A New Invention That Will Surely Do the Work.
