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 sing made in cert ain quarters by a few v'lho won uld, if they coul(1, use the Prtissian meth1od to select. cand(ldates and direcc policies for our State gov ernminnlt. 'i'lis is one of the things I expect to fgh. and I k now I have ltousads of friends in all sections of the F'Iet w.o will take ilie same po ition an id rlesen any effort on tihe 1-r1 of allvone tf) dictate to Ihoi how t hey shall voe." 1.'0SSETT PldNS WORKH OF R1.1EL1-EF.

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 Idly. IRev.
