IS OPPOSED TO "CLIQUE".
A. J. Bethea, in Statement, Says le
held No Caucus.
Columbia, Oct. 28.-The following
statement has been issued by Lieuten
ant Governor A. J. Bethea, relative to
his candida,cy for governor, in which
lie says that lie held no caucus during
Fair- week or at any other time:
"I am absolutely and unalterably op
posed to the clique, to the secret cau
cus,. and to any and everything that
smacks of ring rule and the machine
method in politics. Others may do as
they please, but as for mc, I propose
to make my appeal directly to the peo
ple, as I have heretofore done, and I
ain willing to commit my cause to
their hands. It may be well, however,
for those who caucus and plot in so
cret places to remember that the sov
ereign peop are going to have some
thing to say about the election in 1918
and that they are entirely competent
to do their own choosing. It is also
well to rememlber-4though those who
form cliques (10 not believe it-the
saying of Jefferson, so often repeated
by Wilson, that governments derive
their powers froi the consent of the
governed.
"We are in file midst of a great and
righteous war to make the world safe
for democray. an( I am giving now
and expect to contiiue to give what
ever power. wlatever strength and
w hatever inluinenlce that T possess inl
11ph1ohling the hand11s of Woodrow Wit
son and 11lhe honor of tle flag of my
country. It is the duty of every man
to (o this, but it is also our' impera
live (Ily to keep democracy safe in
Smilt Carolina. I know that I stand
luponi a platform that is as strong as
fihe Rock of Gilbraltar itself and I do
not intend to be shloved off of it or1
to alter Iy course. I am informed
and lieive hat. vain efforts are be

Big PaintUg Comes to Life In Screen
Play.
One Of the most impressive scones
ever reproduced on the screen is the
visualization of Hoffman's wonderful
painting, "Mary Magdalene Brought
Defore Christ," which will be shown
in the Metro wonderplay starring
Dthol 'Barrynore, "The Lifted Veil,"
which will be seen at the Opera
'louse on Tuesday.
The picture is first seen as a stain
ed glass window in the -church where
the heroine played by 'Miss -Barrymore,
is worshipping. Impressed -by the
powerful sermon, and the sight of the
sun breaking through the stained
glass picture, the picture itself seems
to assume life in 'her mind's eye.
The figures of the painting are seen
to move and the vhole impressive
scene, when the mio) drags Mary
Miagdalene before Christ, is acted be
fore the spcctator upl) to the moment
when Chri't sthanmes the -woman's
enptors with the words: "Let him that
is without sin among you cast the first
stono."
Gradually the mob is seen to slink
away, leaving the two principal
figures together and then these dis
solve again into the stained glass win
dow.
The experience has a profound ef
fect on the life and thoughts of
Clorinda Gildersleeve, tile ierone. In
eldentally, tihe scene furnishes all oh)
Portulity for reillarkaible plotogra
