Ho<ly of Girl is Found in Lake?Hud
Been Together Xiglit Before?I>eelares
lie is Innocent.
Every effort is being made by the
Pennsylvania state authorities to
clear the mystery surrounding the
death of Alice Crispell, the eighteenyear-old
girl whose body was found
in Harvey's lake near WilkesbandH
Pa., on last Monday. Nearly half a
hundred witnesses were summoned
to appear at the inquest held in the
hotel near where the body was recovered.
Search is still being conducted
for possible rival suitors, who
may have attacked the girl after her
sweetheart, Herbert .Johns, left her
on tile night of .1 ulr 1.
Johns, who was taken into custody
Buoriiy aner me Doay was discovered,
continues to protest his innocence.
Many widely varying theories are
being advanced to account for tlie
girl's death. Those who believe
Johns innocent, assert that another
man may have killed the girl or that
she was seized with a faiting spell
and fell into the lake accidentally.
The detectives are trying to get
possession of a letter which a girl
companion of Miss Crispell wrote to
her two weeks ago, and which, it is
said, may contain some valuable information.
A It bough the Crispell family contradict
the statement that their
daughter was subject to fainting
spells, Johns himself says that the
girl had a fainting spell while walking
on the streets of that city with
him some months ago.
Regarding the theory that Miss
Crispell was seized with one of those
spells when she left her lover on
Kriday night, and while unconscious
fell into the lake, a well known physician,
who has given the subject
some attention, says this would not
necessarily have caused death, as the
fall into the water would have revived
the victim and, as the water on
the shore was quite shallow, she
could have waded out.
Shot at Man; Kills Wife.
During the progress of a dispute
near Carnegie, Okla., Wednesday in
relation to his title to a six-foot row
of beans, D. A. Dodington shot at S.
Jones, bis neighbor. The bullet went

of tlie reuslt of his first shot, Dodgington
emptied his pistol at Jones,
this time seriously wounding Benjamin
Robinson, a bystander.

of reading and writing or by the alternative
test of owning $1500 worth

the heroes of the '60s and '?(? deserve
to be permanent voters, and that all
these (and likewise all other white
men who were of age before January
1, 1 898,) have had ample opportunity
to be registered for life under the
special temporary "understanding"
clause of the State constitution of
1895. The suffrage article provides in
section 4: "A separate record of all
persons registered before January 1,
1898 sworn to by the registration officer,
shall bo filed, one copy with the

Many a negro learned as much

and not doom them to bear the

therefore welcome any reasonable added
stimulus to spur his ,bovs to

indicates that many an illiterate
is not concerned to save his children
from a repetition of his own fate,

and to propagate and multiply

realize that ho and his aro losing
something real, bring home to him
the error of the policy pursued by his
parents and himself. It would he
mercy to put this coal of fire on his
back. Denial of the suffrage because
of illiteracy would operate as an indirect
compulsory education law,
self-enforcing. It would afford also
an education in civic duty. Let us
stop a practice which teaches that the
ballot is a cheap play thing handed
out to all whether or not they can
use it understandingly. Let us rather
teach that the ballot is a prize to
lie striven for and when obtained to
be reverently cherished, a sacred
trust to be merited and never to be
misused.
Tt is humiliating that we have ignored
all these considerations in the
practices of the Democratic party primary.
But our State constitution of
1 895 has provided just these standards
for suffrage in the general election.
Tt took care of all white men
becoming of age by 1S0S, and gave
to the voiiger fellows two or more
years of warning that they must
learn to rend and write if they would
become voters independently of the
property qualification. Tt provided
especially for their education by rais
ing the ago of school attendance to
01 years, and increasing the school
fund In several ways and with particular
reference to the ensuing three
years?1806-7-8 before the requirements
should become rigid. There
was thus every precaution of fairness
in giving notico and affording
opportunity to get ready for the new
requirements before they went into
effect.
We should adopt for the primary
the same legal requirements that now

So Ivondon Firm Finds, Commenting
oil Leadville Appointment.
The appointment of a woman as
receiver of the United States government's
land otliee at Leadville, Col.,
and Secretary of the Interior Lane's
remark that "money can be more
safely handled by women than by
men" have aroused considerable interest
here. Heads of business firms
have been interviewed, and the general
verdict is that women are astonishingly
honest.
Mr. Lawrie, managing director of
Whiteley's stores, said that in fourteen
years' experience he had not
known a single case of dishonestry
among tlie women employees, and
that could not be said of men. Women,
he added, were quite loyal, but
they perhaps had fewer temptations
than men with families.
"Between the ages of twenty-five
and thirty women are often superb in
business." lie commented, "They
may not be as enterprising as men at
the head of a firm, but as heads of
departments they are often unrivaled."
apply to the general election. We
must do so if we are not to perpetuate
illiteracy and the rule of illiteracy,
cursing our people with a lame
and backward government. We must
do so if we are to justify the oath
now prescribed by the Democratic
party constitution, to "support the
nominees" of the primary. Think of
the absurdity of such an oath taken
by men unable to vote in the general
election. The real voters of the State
pledge themselves to elect in November
the choice of a primary election
conducted not by themselves but by
themselves and a large number of
non-voters. The latter may be the
balance of power in nominating those
whom the majority of the real voters
consider unfit. The nomination
would amount to nothing but for the
votes of the real voters in November.
They go to the polls and elect the
men thev don't want honnnon
have participated in a primary with
non-voters and have voluntarily abdicated
their own power and rights
as voters. They use their real ballots
in November to make effective the
choice of the non-vot< rs in a preceding
primary! The subserviency of the
men who can vote to the men who
can not vote is generosity run mad!

if they do, there remains only a few
days before the hearing on the appeal
from Major Howell's adverse report
is to be made before the Hoard of
Kngitieers at Washington. July 15,
the hearing is set for, and whether
there are delegations there or not,
the hearing comes off.
A week ago to-day Congressman
Lever addressed a large audience of
business men and farmers in the
Court House, and he outlined the
only hope there was for the project.
That was the absolutely essential necessity
of convincing the board that
there was commerce that would he
developed upon the line if it was
opened. To do this he urged the
sending of as largo a delegation as
possible to Washington appear with
him before the board.
Representatives from Hranchville
were present, and they were also
pledged to secure a delegation. They
have done their part. Six men are
ready to leave for Washington to
push the project with the representatives
sent by Orangeburg. These six
tnon are Messrs. L. H. Fairey, W. F.
Trombly, 0. F. Smoak, J. W. Hlack,
J. H. Williams Jr., and W. C. Martin.
In a letter from one of the gentlemen
who are pushing the project at
nnmciivino 10 another gentleman in
Orangeburg occurrs (ho following
sentence: "We have our people
pretty well aroused over the Edisto |
project. We do not propose to let
i Orangeburg send a larger delegation
to Washington than we do, hence we J
have arranged to send six," and they
| are going to send six.
In the meantime what has Orangeburg
been doing towards sendings its
delegation? Each man who goes will
he required to pay half of his expenses,
and efforts were to he made
to collect enough from the citizens of
the town and country to pay half the
expenses of the delegates. A committee
was appointed at Saturday's
meeting, but up to this time there
has been no provisions made to secure
a representation from Orangeburg
at the bearing on Tuesday. It
will cost over $100 to have Orangeburg's
representation equal to that of
her sister city of Branchville and
'at $100 is needed immediately. The
delegates who go are compelled to
leave the city Sunday afternoon in
order to he on hand for the hearing,
and there remains only to-day in
which the question must be decided.
Mr. W. Ti. Glover, who has been
always taking a leading part in pushing
the plans for opening the Edisto,
and who has gotten together statistics
showing the value of such a
route, when seen yesterday spoke discouragingly
of the prospects, unless
those who are to be benefitted by
opening the route and those upon
whom the committee, of which Mr.
Glover is the head, has been depending.
take immediate stens to heln do
fray the expenses of the delegation
to Washington. If you are interested
in opening the river, if you think
it will do tho county and city any
good, if you think tho expenditure of
$ I 4.r>,000 of the government's money
on the Edisto to open it, and $35,000
yearly to keep it up, is worth going
after, hand a contribution to Mr.
Glover to-day. If you are not in
Orangeburg, mail it to him.
In the meantime branchville must
be congratulated on the public spiritedness
of its citizens, and its ready
response to the call for a delegation,
ready to stand for the opening of the

lures in Way of Equipment.
Never, it is believed, did an Arctic
expedition leave port with as carefully
chosen and eomplet equipment as
the party, olllcially known as the
Crocker Land Expedition, which set
out from Brooklyn Navy .Yard on
hoard the British steam whaler
Diana hist Wednesday a week.
Donald B. McMillan, the leader of
the expedition, lias been connected
with many scientific and exploring
parties, and in selecting his outfit he
had the benefit of the advice and aid
of such men as Anthony Fiala, Sir
Ernest Shacklcton and Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary,
The sledges of the party tire of an
entirely new pattern, invented by Dr.
McMillan himself. While weighing
sixty-nine pounds fifty pounds less
than those with which Peary readied
the Pole experts pronounce them
marvels of strength aiul durability.
Each sledge is fitted with a double
set of runners. On hard going they
will run on the narrow steel; as the
surface of the snow becomes softer
and the sledge sinks in it is taken upon
the second and wider runners; in
deep snow the whole bottom of the
sledge forms a runner.
Dr. McMillan also intends to feed
nis men on a new plan. Hitherto the
staple food for exploring parties in
tho Arctic lias been pemmican, with
hard biscuit, aud either tea or chocolate.
l'eary depended on tea, hut
Shaekloton and Scott used chocolate.
l)r. McMillan's party will he fed
during their dash across the ice with
whole wheat biscuit, of which the
party is carrying several thousand
pounds, and chocolate thickened with
ground peanuts?also an idea original
with the present expedition.
The wireless outfit which the Diana
carries to be set up at the winter
quarters of the party in Kane Basin,
is a two-kilowatt apparatus, furnished
by the. government, and is expected
to keep the party in constant ?
touch with civilization through the
Canadian government station at Capo
Wolstenholme.
J. D. Allen an expert electrician,
is the wireless operator of the expedition.
It will bo not only the first
time that an expedition of this kind
has employed wireless to cornmunlcato
with home, hut the first time
that wireless communication has ever
been attempted from a point so far
north, where the aurora horealls prevails.
When Peary returned from the
Pole in 1908 he reported that on his
way north, in the fall of 1900, when
far to the north of (Greenland and in
tho midst of what had always been
supposed to bo ice-covered ocean, he
saw one morning lofty mountain
peaks on the horizon to the eastward,
lie was unable to change his course
to approach nearer and explore the
mysterious land, which he named
Crocker I.and. His announcement
caused a sensation In scientific circles
and plans were at once begun for
tin r;a11iijii iu lucmu (iii'i cnan u\o
new territory and hoist the Stars and
Stripes over it.
George Borup, who was with
Peary, was to have been the leader,
hnt. was drowned in the Sound. Dr.
Edmund O. Hovey of the American
Museum of Natural History revived
the project and selected Dr. McMillan
as leader.

OFFICER FALLS TO DEATH.
?
White Flying Army Aeroplane on
Texas Military Gamp. ,
Lieut. Loren II. Call of the United
States aviation corps was killed early
Tuesday by the collapse and fall of
his aeroplane north of Texas City near
Houston. He had started his flight
from the aviation field in the second
army division mobilization camp.
The dangerous thing known to .aviators
is a "warm air current" is held
responsible for Call's death. Tho
young lieutenant rose from the aviation
field bordering tho gulf early
i uesuay morning, turning his biplane
northward and flow over the level
stretehes near the artillery ramp at
an altitude of about 500 feet, lie
was plainly visable to several soldiers,
who said his biplane seemed to
be running smoothly. Without warning
it turned its nose downward
and plunged almost straight to the
earth. The impact broke nearly every
bone in Call's body.
Animals Ruined to Death.
Three hundred and fifty animals?
three hundred hogs and fifty head of
cattle?were cremated Monday when
the big stock yards of Rolling & Powers
at Nashville burned to the ground
within thirty minutes after the alarm
was turned in. The property loss is
estimated at about $25,000.
