REPUBLICAN CAPERS. ,
Effort to Form "Lily White" Party
in This State.
At the call of National Republican
Committee-man John G Capers,
erstwhile dispenser of Federal
"pie" for this State, a meeting was
held in Columbia Thursday.October
27, for the purpose of organizing a
white Republican party in South
Carolina. From a lengthy report
of the meeting published in the Columbia
Record we cull the following
excerpts:
Shortly after noon National Com!
mitteeman Capers called the convention
to order. Several hundred'
persons.were present. Capt Capers
read the call, issued by himself,upon
which the body had met. He said
in part:
"It should be stated at the outset
that this convention was not assembled
at the suggestion of the administration
in Washington. The fact
i that we have as delegates very few,
if any, Federal cffice-holders and
that there will noi be an officer of
this new organization from chairman
down to doorkeeper who holds a
Federal office,should be the t?est evidence
of the fact the convention is
here in answer to a call from the
people of South Carolina to take advantage
of the fact that there does
not now exist a Republican organization
in this State operating under
either the State or the party law
upon such matters.
"This should not be taken to
mean, however, that we entertain;
any antagonism to our splendid
national administration, or to our
patriotic and wise President, but
simply as an expression of our independence
of Federal patronage in
organizing a high class opposition
party which we believe will develop
so as to be representative of the:
brains, culture and business inter-1
e'sts of our State."
The total number of delegates
present was 113. A resolution wasj

The State executive committee
was composed of three members
i from each Congressional district.
Only a partial list of names of delegates
was published. The State
chairman was L W C Blalock of
i Laurens; vice chairman, I H Norris
of York, secretary, D H Wallace of)
Union.
j Each delegate present pledged j
1 himself to work for the success and
! up-building of the newly fledged
I Republican organization.
On the roll call, delegations re-j

! Captain Capers reached Columbia
| Tuesday night, having spent a day
j or two before at the home of Mr L
W C Blalock, at Goldville, Laurens
county. He has been almost con-;
tinuously in conference with Republican
leaders ever since. The way
in which the convention Thursday \
went about its work &owed that1
he had left no detail of preparation
unarranged.

week.
Messrs John Grant and Minton,
both of whom hold responsible
places with the ACL Corporation,
were noted here last week. Mr
Grant has taken quite a fancy to our
neighborhood (?).
We were delighted to see Mr Wm
S Grayson from Stansbury, Va,
here last week. Mr Grayson has
been away for four years, but were
it not for time's ruthless changing
his hair to a silver gray, he looks today
as young as when he was once
"ye scribe" from this piace to The
Record. . His home is in the Shenandoah
Valley, where pellucid water
percolates from the mountain top;
where there is an abundance of fruit
and vegetables and a salubrious climate:
all of which add vieor to de
clining age and conduces to longevity.
Mr Pole Tyler lost a valuable little
horse last week. It ate as usual the
night before, but when led from the

stable staggered, as if to fall, and ?
during the day inclined to lean
against the wall of the building; finally,
after becoming almost unmanageable
for some time, the horse got
down and remained quiet, seemingly
in an unconscious state, for sev
eral days. At last,as it appeared to
get no better, Mr Tyler killed the
animal to relieve its suffering. This
is one of several horses dying recently
that we have heard of.

HOMICIDE NEAR CADES.
1 \tt
Negro Boy Stabs Another with
Fatal Effect.
Last Friday a warrant was placed
in Sheriff Graham's hands for the
arrest of Charlie Grant, charged
with the murder of Henry or Warren
Cuttino. The homicide occurred
at the camp of the Atlantic Coast
Corporation near Cades, on or about
Friday, October 21, but no steps
were taken looking to the arrest
of the slayer until last Friday, when
the parents of the dead boy swore'
out a warrent against Charlie Grant,
i Cuttino was about twelve years
old, it is said, and his slaver is about,
the same age. The two boys while
playing began fighting, when Grant
drew his knife and stabbed Cuttino
to death. The youthful murderer is
thought to be hiding somewhere in }
Georgetown county.
