THURSDAY. OCT. 17.1912. } At last the primaries are over, /or which everyone is devoutly ? i *._i maiiKiui. Governor Wilson lias magnaniniouslv canceled all of his speakfijyf * ^ ing dates until the Colonel is al?le to take the field again. _________ James (? Woodward was electt' ed Mayor of Atlanta, Ga, Tuesday ' ' " ' ? I] after one of the hottest campaigns in the political history of the f'** city. Woodward was accused publicly of being a drunkard and debauchee. Hi< majority over Aldine Chambers, his oppont l, in a second primary, was seven hundred out of :t total of ten thous and votes cast. . /| Every year'the State fair calls R ??n the press of the State for more or less free advertising in 'i x exchange for a fifty-cent pa-s in-; to the grounds. Each newspaper is requested to whoop up the fair i to the tune of from ^10 to 8251 worth of advertising space. Now, I we cannot see why the newsjia- i pers are obligated t?? the fair this annual donation. It seems to l>e O ^ 1 customary to can oi> ine press for this service and by force of labit most of the newspaper men, out of the abundance of their hearts meekly resixmd, without questioning the imposition upon them.' The fair, if properly managed, should I* a self-sustaining institution. If not, then it is not worthy of perpetuation. Colonel Roosevelt, in his speech at Milwaukee after being shot, said that the cowardly attempt j at assassination was tlu* legitimate j y . . outcome of tlu* abuse heaped up^ on liim by newspapers supporting Wilson and Taft. Thus the i" Colonel accused Wilson and Taft * * \ , of l?cing indirectly responsible for die attack upon him. He added J <n his remarks that he would re-, pudiate any supinator who thus vili- j tied any of his opjxments. Such ex, sessions come with poor grace from ibmsevelt when everybody know> that in a campaign of abuse ami vituperation almost uuprecedentcd no one has lieen a marker to the Colonel himself in vitriolic utterances. S> violent and sweeping has been his abusive language that someone has been 2i?i<ve(l to remark: "Everylxxly i& is a liar in Roosevelt's opinion and Roosevelt is a liar in the 4 " ' opinion of everybody.", " ^ 11 H STATE and GENERAL H J L IJ TOPICS p ir: rr nr rr nr rr ^ rr rr rr: nr rr: Postmaster General Hitchcock has placed an order for 30,000 scales for parcels post, service. The total cost amounts to $77,300. I XXX Governor Blease has refused to I pardon John J Jones, the Branchville j man-slayer, but promised to reduce J his sentence at some future date. XXX ' William dilmore Simms,, the oldest son of the distinguished novelist and Clerk of Court of Barnwell county, died at his home in Barnwell Tuesday. XXX Governor Blease has appointed Mrs Geo W Nichols of Spartanburg and Mrs J V Wallace of Charleston mpmhprs of the "Ladies' Woodrow Wilson League.'* X X X At Timmonsville Saturday, almost the entire face of Louise Bennett was torn away by a load from a shotgun accidentally discharged by Charles Harkness. XXX It is claimed that Benny Owens, an Alabama boy, made this year on his "prize acre," 237 bushels of corn, thus eclipsing Jerry Moore's record of 228 bushals year before last. i XXX W P Bailey, a young white man of Gaffney, shot himself through the body with a pistol Monday. Attempted suicide is suspected as the young man had several times threat| ened to take his own life. His re1 covery is doubtful. XXX j Judge A W Fite of the Cherokee I circuit court of Georgia, was found guilty of contempt by the State, court of appeals and fined $5,000 with the option of ten days' imprisonment. Judge Fite's offense was writing a newspaper article criticising the court of appeals for twice reversing his decision sentencing a negro to twenty years' imprisonment for criminally assaulting a white woman. Judge Fite's coun: sel, T C Milner, shortly after pre! senting his case before the court dropped dead. X X X Saturday morning John Haugh j killed his father-in-law, R K West, by beating him to death with the butt-end of a shot-gun. Haugh was beating his wife when West interfered. This infuriated Haugh, who turned from his wife and attacked ' her father. The affair occured at Haugh's home, in the eastern part i of Kershaw county. Feeling is so bitter against Haugh that he was taken to the penitentiary for safekeeping. Notice to Teachers.

Fortunes in Faces. j There's often much truth in the saying "her face is her fortune," I but it's never said where pimples, skin eroptions, blotches or other blemishes disfigure it.
