Here is the Governor's message in full: ? "T. P. Raborn, Sheriff, Aiken County, Aiken, S. C.?Your wire. I would suggest to superintendent with whom you have been conferring not to attempt to run cars on this side of river, as they do not carry necessities of life or United States mail, until people quiet down. -Reports come to me that sympathizers with strikers are from Georgia side, and as they have violated our Statute law, you should proceed to swear out warrants and arrest them if found in this State. Present situation would not justify me in sending militia at heavy expense to State. If cars do not run and strikers begin to injure track or destroy property, I will see that it is protected. "Cole L. Hlease, Governor." The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says Governor Hlease is keeping in close touch with the situation in the Horse Creek Valley, and on account of ttie situation there cancelled an engagement ^ ^ ^ ^ U n f 4 1> /-* Hon H 1 nn UP liciu iu njreat\ at me i vuuiebvn Fair. The Governor will remain at his office and keep in touch with the situation, and is doing everything in his power to allay trouble. Mr. Thos. J. Cheeks of Bath, was in the city in conference with the Governor regarding the situation on the South Carolina side of the river. Mr. Cheeks was emphatic in bis statement that the people did not want any militia called out, and that while they were in sympathy with, the strikers no violence would be offered to track or property. 1-Ie said if no attempt was made to run cars everything would be (|uiet, but he stated positively that the people were against calling out any militia. Another Aiken ounty gentleman who was present referred to the situation in Augusta, when several citizens were shot by militiament after that city had been put under martial law by Governor Brown, of Georgia, and ho said that the people there were very bitter against the action of the Governor as a result. Actions of the parties in North Augusta in forcing the superintendent to go back to Augusta and in pulling a strike-breaker off a car that had been run over on the South Carolina side added interest to the strike on the Aiken-Augusta Trolley Road. No acts of violence are anticipated by the South Carolina authorities, but Governor BJease will keep in close touch with the situation and do everything in his power to keep down trouble. A dispatch from Aiken says following the riot in North Augusta Sunday afternoon, in which it is stated that at least (500 persons participated in an attack upon strikebreakers and guards operating a car to Belvidere, from Augusta, on-'the Aiken division, Sheriff Raborn wired Governor Blease for assistance, evidently intending to suppress, through force of armed men, the mob violence and lawlessness now broken forth on this side of the river and in Aiken County, as a result of the strike among the street car men. t The wire was sent to Gov. Blease Sunday night and Sheriff Raborn received the above dispatch on Monday morning. The Aiken dispatch further says that where conditions and informa. tion warrant same, Sheriff Raborn will certainly pursue to the letter the course suggested by Governor Rlease and arrest all disturbers of the peace, unless they slip over the line into Georaria, and even then they can doubtless be easily secured through the proper requisition proceedings.

Throe Mm Lo?t Their Lives at Leon and Four Others Were Killed at Barraacae. Tales of the surrender of the town of Leon Sunday by Nicaraguan revolutionists to American marines and sailors, under Lieut. Col. Long, and the loss of three American lives through the treachery of drunken rebels, were received at the state department from Minister Weitsell at Managua. The deaths Sunday brought the total of Americans killed by the rebels to seven, the loss of four at Barranca Hill, on the road to Leon, having been previously reported. In his advices to Minister Weitself, Rear Admiral South&rland said he expected peace in the republic within a montn. The chief revolutionary bands have been crushed, and their leaders captured and exiled. The men killed at Leon were: fioy G. /Morgan, Los Angeles, Cal.; George O. B.urgess, ordinary seaman Colorado, Stillwater, Minn.; Marine Private John Bartels, Cook county, 111. Although three were reported injured the name of only one private, Frank Kittsmiller, could be found in the records at Washington. Those reported wounded, whose names do not appear in the records, were: Lamper, ordinary Seaman Colorado, and Dalder trumpeter, marine, Company D. "The credit of this successful tei' mination of a most critical condition," said Admiral Southerland in bis report, "is principally due to the firmness and the good judgment, ability and tact of Lieut. Col. Long during the month he has had charge of the situation at that place." When Col. Long demanded the surrender of Leon, Dr. Espinosa, Gen. Irias and 11 other rebel leaders from Costa Rica applied for protection and passports to leave the country. This was agreed to after the colonel had communicated with Rear Admiral Southerland at Managua, who secured the approval of President Diaz. Then the surrender of the town was announced; Before the Americans could take possession, however, a handful of drunken rebels opened fire upon the Americans, killing the .three named. The marines and bluejackets returned the fire and killed about r>0 revolutionists. AI'/JI'CTA MOIt ITTACKS C \ It + The Moi'tonmn Fatally Hurt and the Conductor Wounded. At Augusta Wednesday night, in a dark spot adjoining the Schuetzenplatz, a small crowd of men ran out and boarded a car coming down from Summerville. When they attempted to capture the motorman and conductor, strikebreakers, one of them fired on the crowd. Immediately a dozen or more shots were fired and the attacking crowd left the car. One of the injured men fell over the back of the car upon the v track. The other one, falling off of the moving car, made his way into the hallway of an adjoining 'residence and fell. The car was stopped nearly two blocks below the scene of the shooting. Roth the wounded men, strikebreakers, were picked up by a passing automobile and rushed to the city hospital. They were unconscious. Motorman Frank Kelly will die, but Conductor Allen Brooks will probably recover, it is rej>orted since examination by surgeons. None of the crowd of strike sympathizers who fired on the two men have been arrested. CONVICTRI) BY CAMERA. Railroad Sleuths Use Photograph to Enforce Anti-Hooze Rules. Employees of the transporation department of the Lackawanna railroad were confounded when it became known that the enforcement of the rule prohibiting employees from patronizing saloons while on or off duty, is taking the form of photographing violators. Two employees, one a veteran who would have been placed on the pension list in a few years, were snapped bj a detective while regaling themselves in a saloon at Elmira, N. Y., and the picture forwarded to the division superintendent at Scranton. "Ts this your picture?" the superintendent asked the employees, exhibiting a small photograph. The men were speechless at first but finally admitted that they had been caught with the goods. They were discharged on the spot. ? NAUGHTY LITTLE GIRLS.

Raffle* in Real Life, Accompanied by Giant Negro, Enters Residence of W. K. Gaines, at Spartanburg Rut Steals a Little Whiskey and Leaves a Note. The Spartanburg Herald says bound and gagged by a desperate but gentlemanly burglar, who kept her lying helpless on the floor while he drank whiskey, smoked cigarettes and paid her delicate compliments? such was the remarkable experience of Miss Lily Gaines, pretty 18-yearold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Gaines, in their homo at No. 32 0 South Liberty street Monday afternoon. Returning home from a shopping trip about 5:45 o'clock,-Mrs. Gaines found Miss Lily in the plight described in the sittfhg room in the front of the house. The door and rront window of the room were locked and entrance was obtained through a side window. When the chains with which the girrs wrists an? uukiud were bound and the flour sack with which her mouth was stopped had been removed, Miss Lily related the story of her experience?a story strange as fiction. She told how she was overcome hile dozing on a couch by a welldressed and seemingly, cultivated intruder, a middle-aged white man of striking appearance, accompanied by giant mulatto, who seemed to stand in great fear of the white man. She told how the white man, leaving the rro to guard her, ransacked the house, and then, apparently finding nothing to his ilking, returned to the room to flatter her with nicely turned bonmots on her personal appearance; how, after amusing himself in this fashion for perhaps a half hour, in the meantime draining a good part of a bottle of liquor, this Raffles in real life ordered the negro to leave and departed himself through the side window five minutes later, and just about 15 minutes before Mrs. j Gaines returned.

Miss Lily had intended to. accompany hor mother but decided not to go on account of a headache. She lay down on the lounge in the sitting room, which is In tne front part of the house on the ground floor, and read a book until sne necame drowsy. I The girl fell asleep. It was about 4:30 o'clock, as nearly an sue can reckon, when she was awakened by feeling a hand on her mouth. She looked up into the face of a man? an unusual face, with a deep scar, as 1 cf a sabre cut on his face, and pierc' ing blue eyes and raven black hair. She heard a sweet and refined voice , tell ger gently but firmly not to make : an outcry, as he did not intend to hurt her. Miss TJly says she struggled furiously and struck the man a sharp blow in the face, making h's nose bleed. But he overcame her and stuffed a flour sack into her mouth and held it in place by strapping a white woman's belt, the property of her ' mother, around her heard. The burglar then fastened her wrists with a dog chain, securing it with a lock and a piece of wire. He bound her ankles with another chatn and laid her on the floor in the middle of the room. The dog chain belonged to Miss Lily's little brothers and was found by the burglar in the yard. The burglar told the negro to sit opposite the girl in a rocking chair. "Don't you move," he said to the burly black, "unless the girl moves. If you do, I will shoot you." The mulatto shivered, according to the girl, as if in a state of terror, hut tin I /I r\ /\ r? rvt?/l oaiu uut a ?ui u, As nearly as she could follow his movements the burglar crossed the hall into Mrs. Gaines' bedroom, which he proceeded to turn topsy-turvy, pulling the drawers out of the bureau and dumping'their contents on the floor. He seemed to be searching for money, but his search was futile, as Mrs. Gaines had taken all the money with her when she went down town. The burglar then went to the dining room, where he found a bottle of whiskey on the sideboard. Mr. Gaines was given (he liquor for medical purposes several days ago. The man carried the bottle and a glass back into the sitting room. With a sweep of the arm he knocked the bric-a-brac . nflf n HHIa tnhlp nnit rlrpw (t nn hp I side the prostrate figure of the girl. He leisurely poured out a drink, lighted a cigarette, and leaned comfortably hick in a chair. In his rich musical tones he talked to tho vou^g lady. She was unwilling to rc^at what he said. His h>n?rnsgo v is that of a gentleman, she hut modesty forbade her to make his remarks public. Suffice it to say, she told The Herald, that he flattered her. It seemed an hour that he sat there, offering her soft blandishments, she said. The negro sat in N LIVELY TIMES AHEAD THERE WILL BE THREE PARTIES IN THE EliECTION. But the Democrat* Are Certain of Saccees Before They Ever Go Up st Agftinst Teddy's Forces. i The Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says three parties will participate in the general election in South Carolina to be held on November 5?the success of the Democratic party always being assured in this State. The electors of the Democratic party have already been named and electors pf both the Republican and Progressive party will be placed on the ticket. The Hepublican party in this State is made up almost to a man out of the negro voters. The Progressives claim that the new party is a white man's party and that the negro is not welcome. At the meeting of the Progressives several days ago W. P. Reard of Abbeville was named as permanent secretary. Beard io a great friend of Governor Blease and is editor of the News-Scimetar, the ofllcial Blease newspaper in South Carolina. At least it has been and no announcement has been made as to the change of policy. Beard was also a constable appointed by the governor to accompany him on his campaign during the summer. The people of the State are very much interested just now in just what the relations will be between Blease and Beard. Will Hoard be a Progressive and be- continued on the pay roll of the Democratic voters of the State for practically all taxpayers are Democrats. It will also be remembered, too, that just before the executive committee declared Blease the Democratic nominee that Beard wrote some articles of a semi-official nature stating the position of the administration. At that time Beard showed his Bull Moose inclination because he intimated that should B'lease be declared not the nominee that he would run any way and that a full state ticket from governor down would be placed in the field. The Republicans and the Progressives will not put'out a state ticket. Republican officers say that district conventions will be called and that candidates for congress will be put out in every district. Where are the Republican and Progressive votes coming from? According to the rotUi'i a l'? uin the Democratic primary ovo 140,000 o os were en'R Tn Mie t general election there- wo. Republican votes cast. i is hardly pi-cbahle that inanv Do <ocrats will violate their oath and bolt the pajty. Then, too, the Democratic vote was abnormal. Will the Republicans and the Progressives split the 4,00ft? silence, quaking. A livery boy came on the porch and knocked at the door. Getting no answer, he walked into the hall and laid his bundle down, then went out again. The mysterious burglar drank heavily of the whiskey. 'Miss Lily had an excellent opportunity to study the man's appearance. Me was between '3 5 and 4 0 years old. about five feet, nine inches tall, and weighed about 175 pounds, lie had blue eyes, jet black hair, and a diagonal scar about two inches long on his right cheek. She remembered having seen him pass along South Liberty street and look into the house that morning, and also recalled having seen him on Main street last Thursday. lie was smooth-sliaven then, however, and now wore a false mustache. Me wore a neatly fitting dark blue or black suit, a turndown collar, a white silk necktie with a green snake woven into the design, tan shoes and a black derby hat. The negro, she said, seemed to be nearly seven feet tall. Me wore overalls, a wooly gray cap and brand new patent leather shoes, which squeaked when he walked. After a while the white man told the negro to leave, and the latter did so with alacrity. The burglar then locked the front window, took the key of the door leading from the sitting room to the hall out of the door and laid it on the piano, and looked the door with a key of his own. He examined the girl's chains to see that they wore secure, and then left the room through the side window, breaking the glass. After a while the little children returned from their play and sat down on the front porch. When Mrs. Gaines came home about 5:45 o'clock she asked her little son William where Lily was. He answered that he did not know. Miss Lily moaned so lound that they heard her. When they found the door and the front window locked, Frances, the little sister of Miss Idly, went around to the side window and saw her lying on the floor chained. Mrs. Gaines was greatly agitated and went to the telephone and called the police and Mr. Gaines. Frances came into the room through the side window and unloosed the chains. J. M. Crawford, a ?'?? , was called, and forced the door open. On the table, where the whiskey stood, was the note left by the burglar. It was written on statinn orv \li?a T.ilv V?r?H Knrm using earlier in the afternoon. There were only a dozen words, more or less, and they were in capital letters which as are used in print. The note was turned over to Policeman Wallace W. Littlejohn. Eighteen Sailors Rescued. Eighteen survivors of the abandon1 s^auier Panes w?re picked up off the Florida coast Wednesday by the naval supply ship Arethivsa, according to a report received by wireless at the Key West naval station. The Panes sailed from Norfolk on September 7 for Manzanillo. DARK IS OUTLOOK FOR THE REPUBLICANS THROUGHOUT THE NATION. SURE RUIN AWAIT THEM Only I>emocratic Over Confidence Can Save the Grand Old Party, and Event? of Kecent Days Have Gone Further to Foreshadow Hout of Tuft and Roosevelt. The Washington correspondent of The State says with less than a month remaining until the presidential election, it is apparent to any man who is not deaf, dumb, blind and paralyzed in addition that Woodrow Wilson will be elected by the largest popular majority every given a candidate of the Democratic party. These things have happened during the past week to make it absolutely certain that the Republican outfit, bag and baggage, will leave the White House at noon March 4; Roosevelt reached the zenith of his popularity when he ended his swing around the campaign contribution committee in Washington a few days ago; Charles I) Hilles, Taft's man Friday, who should hereafter be known as Charles-claim-it-all Hilles, has made a monkey out of his chief and has proved himself a poor prophet by declaring that the regular Republicans have everything sewed up when any one of unprejudiced mind knows that nothing of the kind is true; Senator Joseph M. Dixon injured the Progressive cause by his attitude of hostility before the campaign committee bv crying for the "other fellow" to be called; Bryan has done the right thing by Wilson and again proved to the country where he now stands, and lastly "William Bill" Sulzel, by being nominated for governor of New York will make the Empire State i solid fop Wilson and Marshall. These are the big political events of the past ten days, not to say anything of the countless smaller indications, all pointing toward a Wilson and Marshall victors. It would have been better, according to well known political leaders there, had Roosevelt not appeared before the campaign investigating committee, and his cause would not -angered if he had kept Senator Dixon > the stand.

Where Charles Dewey Tlilies gets the inspiration to food President Taft re-election dope is more than the average politician there or anywhere else is able to understand. During the last few days the big chief has been taking extra large quantities of Dr. liilles cure-all stuff and the strange part about it is that the doctor is really making Taft believe he is going to be re-elected. Even the very close friends of the president admit that under present circumstances he stands third in the presidential line-up, and they see with clear vision that while the total raft-Roosevelt vote at the election next month must come from one source alone?the Republican vote? and that there are two men to split it?Wilson, on the other hand, has the entire solid Democracy behind him. Any man who can not see that proposition must, indeed, be blind, and all do see it, apparently, but Mr. raft himself. Ililles is making him believe he is really to be re-elected. The truth about the matter is that the G. O. P. is slated for rout before the year 1 0 1 It has gone far into history. Ask the real thinking men in the party whose perspective is clear and whose vision is keen. They will tell you that the handwriting on the wall clearly spells Wilson and Marshall and Democratic victory and that probably only one thing can defeat the Democrats?overconfidonce?and thnt lr?ndinfr to in ft i ITornn^i u ?wt apathy in some sections of the country. With the O. O.

The discovery was not made until the man's mother came to visit them for the first time and revealed Wilson's race.

Situation Becomes Urgent and the Finance Committee Makes Appeal to South Carolina. To the Democrats of South Carolina: The chairman of the finance committee for South Carolina for the national Democratic committee received th? following telegram from Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the general finance committee of tne Democratic national committee: "National committee must have funds this week. Send us for your State by Saturday or Monday at least $3,000. Communicate with your finance committee and other prominent Democrats and see, if possible, that your collections equal this amount. The situation is urgent and we depend upon you." Owing to the fine contribution of $1,80 0 received from Charleston, through rienry W. Conner of the South Carolina finance committee, it is possible to comply with Mr. iMorgenthau's call. But. what will be the condition next weeK ana tne wees following when tho needs of the national committee will be at least as* great and when there will not be a Charleston mine to be worked? That question may be answered satisfactorily by those counties that have not begun to give financial support to the Democratic cause. When the children of a graded school tn Greenwood county has given more to Democracy than is represented by the counties with 3,000 Democratic voters; when not one of 21 counties has contributed as much as $100; when little Dorchester has given more than Greenville and Cherokee combined and as much as Spartanburg, it is readily seen that there is room for tremendous additions to the fund without placing a strain upon either financial capacity party spirit. Hundreds of "nrominent Democrats" have been communicated with personally; some have responded, many have not. Time is now very limited, and the situation as described by Chairman Morgenthau is here given to the public for such action as it may inspire. William E. Gonzales.
