Ul MOLDS SM H PRISONER SHOT AT HIMIN(,HH,D AS NEGRO WAS PI.AC tD IN CAR. ca Negro still at Large and oili C I innre? I With AMUttting In frlendS Escape? Many Disorder*. r 8prlngneld. Oct. 26.?Following day of the most intense excitement Ingfield is tonight In the hands of angry mob, and no concerted ac? tion has been taken to prevent further disorder and trouble. Anything may happen. Warrants were Issued today for Wade Tyler, who U more or less no? torious as a lawbreaker, and several other negroes, charging them with aiding in the escape of Arthur Rowen, the negro who attempted a criminal aesuult on a young woman of this place, and for whom the officers and posses of determined men have haen scouring the country since. Tyler was arrested today while pass bag through town. He was armed, and attempted to resist the officers, but wan overpowered and placed In the city jail. Tits arrest of Tyler stirred the an? ger i f the men who have made fu tils efforts to capture the Bowen ne? gro. Tyler's wife attempted to shoot en officer, and, it is said, would hare done so but for the vigilance of the arresting officer, who acted quickly, laying her skull open with the bar? rel of his rifle. Tyler and his wife were evidently expecting troub'e. They had i pistol, repeating rifle and m double-barreled shotgun. When Sheriff Salley arrived from Orangeburg tonight, having been de? layed by trouble to the automobile in which he was traveling, the excite? ment was at am height. The sheriff had 1 sen summoned to carry Tyler to a F'ece to safety, as It was consld certain hs would be lynched if left here tonight. In the meantime many men In the arfgry crowds that gathered, threatening further ~?'e, had frequented "blind tigers" many drunken men were In evi? dence. After encountering many difficulties ftheiiff Salley. assisted by several po? licemen, attempted to enter the city Jell to place Tyler In a watting auto mobil.? The mob Interfered, and enilous trouble seemed Imminent. At last the negro wae brought out, and the sight of him precipitated what was almost a riot. As the negro was befng placed In the car some unknown party In the crowd flr??A ahootlng the prisoner In the back. The officers did not stop, but with the wounded negro drove speeiily away. The car was driven by Dr. Benson Bolln of Xeeses. The extent of the negro's Injuries are unknown, ee he wss spirited away, presumably to Orangeburg. ' The temper and lack of Judgmer I of mob rule has arserted Itself thl? evening. During the melee a party flrom a nearby town Is said to huv ? a tempted to shoot a prominent cltl ?4*1 on the street. He was knocl ed senseless and his Jaw bone broken by the butt of a sun. This is only one of several incidents of the kind that have happened In the last few d?j?. There have been many street fights and disorders continue. Other arrests were made today along with the Tyler negro. Norrl* Staley. Napoleon Staley and Smooth? ing Olbbs are said to be Implicated In eeeasttng the Boa en negro to escape after his hideous attempt. They were locked up today, but after the re nsoval of the Tyler negro tonight the ethers were released. Por the first time since the hunt for Authur Bowen t*?gan the law olfi eere and the citizens who have been aasHtln* in the search for the negro have struck the right trail, and it mm mom only a matter of time before m ? en will be raptured When It wai learned that other negroes had as sated in bis eseapn the mdiktri itlon of tho white people arose to a high pitch. Tyler is said to be the man who car? ried Bowen away after Bowen's crlnu wss attempted. He Is said to have conducted Bowen to a certain point anl placed him In charge of another negro, who piloted the fugutive frona there. The officers and the cltlxens are looking f..r the other negro, ard further troiihlf I? expe< <| If he Is found It is generally b?-i|.-\ed here that the negro Masons and Odd Fellows took up the cause of Bowen. and that after furnishing him with an abun? dance of ready cash attempted to get him aboard n northbound train frr Philadelphia It Is now practically certain that he will be arrested and brought to Justice.

Nettles Would Not Pa> Claim of a Printer. Spartanburg Journal. As the result of a difference be? tween Rev. S. A. Nettles, one of the proprietors of the Spartanburg Print? ing company, and a machinist-oper? ator regarding weekly wages, a lock? out exists at that office. The Spar? tanburg Printing company la com? posed of Mr. Nettles and P. J. Dock? endorf, publishers of the Southern Christian Advocate. The lockout has been on since last Friday afternoon, all of the printers being ordered out by the union. The typographical union claims that the lockout was brought on by Mr. Nettles because he refused to pay his machinist-operator $6.78 of the ?alary that was due him. The mat? ter was brouhgt up In the chapel meeting several days ago and the men who work in the office decided that Mr. Nettles owed the money and aaked him to pay it. He told the men he would appeal from the chapel's decision to the typographical union. He did so. The union met Friday evening, and Mr. Nettles was allowed to present his side of the matter in person.^ Mr. Dockendorf, his partner was present and also made a state? ment. The union men claim that Mr. Net? tles, of his own free will and accord, made the statement before the union that he vould pay the $6.78 if the union decided he ought to do so. Af? ter hearing both aides of the case, the union decided that it was just and right that Mr. Nettles should pay the $6.78 and the men should go to work Saturday morning. Mr. Nettles refused to pay the money to the op? erator, they claim, and a lockout was (he result. Mr. Nettles was not in the city when a reporter caled to secure his side of the lockout. His partner, Mr. Dockendorf, stated that the trouble was brought on by the operator him? self. He agreed to get a certain amount of type and failed to deliver the goods. Mr. Dockendorf said he was not as familiar with the situa? tion as Mr. Nettles, as the latter had charge of employing machinist-opera? tors, and he was in a position to discuss the trouble In a general way. Mr. Nettles, he said, had gone out of th^ city to secure help. CHARGED WITH ASSAFLT. Aged Alken Neuro Lodged lit Alken County Jnll. Alken, Oct. 26.?John Henry Wil? liams, an aged negro of Eureka, S. C., has been brought to Alken and lodged In Jail, charged with having criminally assaulted the person of an eighteen-year-old girl. It is alleged that the act was com? mitted Tuesday evening, and that he was fired upon with a shotgun during the commission of the deed, the shot peppering his face. A posse of armed negroes endeavor? ed to take Williams, but the latter barricaded himself in his house, and soon cooled the ardor of his would-be capturers. The mob soon desisted In Its efforts and sent a call to Alkon yesterday morning. Rural Policeman Holley and Sheriff Rahorn immediately departed for the scene in an automobile and arrested the negro with very little trouble, al? though ho was arrested In his house, with a dirk, a 44 Colt magazine pistol and a Winchester rifle at his side.

SHIP PROM NEW YORK. me up II Huns off Three MoGraw Machete, While Deader Heidi Op poncnts to Paltry Pair. Philadelphia, Oct. 26.?Hall! Phil? adelphia Athletics, champions of the world for the second successive year! In an exhibition of batting seldom seen in u premier baseball series the American league team this afternoon defeated New York In the sixth game of the series by the overwhelming score of 13 to 2, thus giving them the four necessary games out of the six played to carry off baseball's greatest honor. It was more than a mere defeat for the Giants, It was a rout. Philadelphia is celebrating tonight as it has never before observed a great baseball victory". To defeat New York in revenge for the trounc? ing the National leaguers gave them in 190b was almost as pleasing to the Athletics as winning the world's championship itself. With the victory goes 60 per cent of $127,910.61 or $76,746.37. of which each Athletic player will receive $3, 654.59. The losers will receive the remainder, $61,164.25, or $2,4u6.3y for each New York player. The batting matinee that the Ath? letics gave was one of the finest ex? hibitions of offensive playing seen at Shibe park In a long time. Coming from behind after New York had scored one run in the first inning, the Athletics tied the score in the third, won it in the fourth by making four runs, made It a little safer in the sixth when thoy added another run, and crushed the Giants in the seventh un? der an avalanche of seven hits, which with a couple of mlsplays, oddc seven more runs. The sensational hitting of all the pitchers the New Yorkers sent into the box roused the excited crowds to the greatest enthusiasm. With vic? tory in their grasp, the Athletics ap? peared to let down, and when the seventh inning was over the cheering thousands started to leave the grounds. HURLED PASTOR OUT OF WIN? DOW. Following Rrlsk Melee, Members of Denver Congregation Ejected Rev. Rudolph With Some Violence. Denver, Oct. 25.?The Rev. W. S. Rudolph is nursing cuts and bruises, and a number of other members of the Union Presbyterian church are using soothing loiions today because of ten minutes of lively fisticuffs over church affairs. During the melee the pastor was thrown through a window. Dr. Rudolph with a number of his friends were sitting In the rear of the church, while trustees and others se? verely arraigned the pastor for at? tempting to retain possession of the church after he had resigned from the board of governors. Then a motion was carried to go Into executive session in a room ad? joining the church. Dr. Rudolph led his cohorts to a back door and enter? ed the room. A fight at once became general. Women in hysterics bolted into the open, while a dozen or more men punched at each other in ?rlm earn eKtn?t?B, several of them becoming engaged while attempting to act as peacemakers. Dr Rudolph and his church are prominent, and the affair has caused a great stir. CONVICTED IN QUICK TIME. Cherokee Indian Found Guilty ami lentenced to Death in Hallf Day** Court Behntoti?

HEARST IN THE FOLD. is Once More a Democrat, According to His own Statement? New York World. William K. Hearst is a Democrat again. He read himself hack inio the Democratic party last night at the Fusion ratification meeting in Q speech in which he attacked Murphy and urged the election of the Fusion ticket, but made not one single men? tion of the Independent League. He even said he had no particular inter st in seeintr the league candidates on the non-partisan ticket elected to office. Not until he was near the close of his speech did the editor-politician let it be known that he had become a Democrat once more, after several years outside the party lines. He had attacked Murphy vigorously, and praised the candidates on the Fusion ticket, and he had declared that Tam? many should not be allowed to seize the Judiciary. Then he said: "I am speaking to my friends to? night as a good citizen, I hope, and also as a good Democrat. "Mr. Murphy and his kind drove me out of the Democratic party, but the commendable course of the na? tional Democracy has brought me back into the fold. "I am registering as a Democrat, I am speaking as a Democrat, and as a Democrat I am going to fight the undemocratic principal and policies of Murphy and Tammany Hall. "I believe that the greatest benefit that the loyal Democrats of New York State can confer upon the national Democracy Is to free it of the hin? drance and handicap of Murphy and Tammany Halb "In appointing his State chairman yesterday Mr. Murphy read all honest and independent Democrats out of his party. I call upon all honest and in? dependent Democrats to unite and read Mr. Murphy out of our party. 'Let us have a Democratic party which Is free from Murphy's control, which is in harmony with the Democ? racy of the nation, and which can be supported by all loyal Democrats and honest men." This closing utterance of Hearst s, which ended the meeting, was loud'y cheered, and the Democrats on tha platform began congratulating Mr. Hearst either on his speech or on his return to the party. The crowd, which had yelled and yelled at Hearst when he came In, and had addressed hlr.4 a* "Oh, you Randolph," left the hall apparently all Hearst Democrats.

The Law the Better Way. Speaking on Friday of the Ameri? can penchant for crowds and fot big things generally. The Observer ven? tured the idea that this accounts in some measure for the loss of individ? uality and sense of personal re? sponsibility in citizenship. We might have, illustrated the Idea by the ten? dency of Crowds to do rash and un? lawful acts. Whether it is a crowd of school boys or a crowd of men, one hundred, or five hundred. Will to? gether do things that very few of th.? crowd would do as individuals. Mobs are unthinking. One hundred men. for instance will lynch a man, while it may not be too much to say that not one of the number would, in the absence of the crowd, take a gun and deliberately shoot the man to death, no matter how heinous his crime may have been. It takes a very cruel and deprave ! heart to commit murder in cold blood; but htindrerdl ??f fairly good and kind men join together to do it. Is there any difference in the moral character of the deed in the accountability before the Great Judge betw en the i>ne case and the other? Is there such a thing as "long division" in respon? sibility and homicide? We think not; but every man who takes part must bear the blame before high heaven .hist as completely as if he were the only person concerned in it. Rven mir own Statute law says so, but our law Is impotent. There Is a higher law. though?not the "higher law" w< speak of flippantly?to winch each man will have to answer alone; where no guilty man can escape the conse? quences of his own acts, and wb. re crowds counl for* nothing. \\ ben some fiendish crime has been committed that stirs the blood to fury and se'.s the passions on tire men for? ge! these things They stain their hands in blood, instead of ?urning the fiend over to the law, where he would as surely meet his deserved fate un? der circumstances more solemn end impressive Ihnn mob vengeance ever can be.

A Suggestion Prom the state Super? intendent Of Rural Rural Schools to The County Teachers, Trustees,I Parents end School Children. - i The country schools of our State are now beginning the session of 1911 -11* 1 2. In my visit among these schools, I find only one- third to one-half of the children in attend? ance. The fields are white with cot? ton to be picked and I realize the difficulty, and in many cases "he im? possibility, of putting all the chil? dren in school at the beginning of the session. Allow me to make aj suggestion which grows out of my own experience as a boy on the farm, eager to enter school at the beginning of the term, but unable to do so be? cause of the pressing farm work. Let every parent see that the chil? dren are at the school at least one clay during the first week for classifi? cation. The ambitious boy can then get his books and, in many cases, can do enough work at home to en? able him to enter his class without serious loss when the farm work is done and he can attend school regu? larly. There are many days when he cannot work on the farm. On these days he can go to school end get as? sistance on points of difficulty. Let every county teache: in the State make a list of all pupils of school age in her distric: and en? deavor to get everyone to attend school this year. A little persona, work with parents and children will yield a rich harvest, and ? broader acquaintance with your people will make the work in the school itself less difficult. Let us do all in our power to help the pupil wro is at work and trying to study at home. I Let every school trustee in the State lend the weight of hi3 influence to secure this year the best country school attendance in the history of South Carolina. In this way you will not only make better and more efficient men and women of the chll-I dren who attend school thin year, but you will also increase your school apportionment for next year. Let us adopt for our watchword in South Carolina this year: A Good School for Every Child; Every Child in , School. Just a word to the boy who works. The same grit anl determi? nation which makes you do your work well, will enable you to sur? mount the difficulties you And in your books. If you cannot enter school now, get your boosts and by a little home study each day try to keep pace with your class. Nearly all the men who have achieved suc? cess have surmounted difficulties in acquiring an education. W. K. T?TE, State Superintendent of Rural Schools I Columbia, Oct. 24. Second Week Jurors.

Had Worst of Engagement with Turks <>u Monday. Malta, net. 26.?The Italian reverse i:t Tripoli, on October IS, according to pnMengen just arrived here, amounted almost to a rout. An Ital? ian outpost during reconnaissanc e en? countered a Turkish outpost, which retreated. The Italians followed and were suddenly attacked on all sides. Three companies of light infantry v^ere totally annihilated. Bevern I of? ficers were made prisoners and mu? tilated and hanged. The return of the remainder of the Italians carrying a great number of wounded, said by some of the pass? engers to be seven hundred, caused intense excitement among the Arab population at Tripoli. The Arabs at? tempted to revolt, tiring many shots and wounding many Italians. Four Hundred Killed or Wounded. London, Oct. 26.?Four hundred Italians were killed or wounded in the lighting around Tripoli on Monday and Tuesday, but all newspaper cor? respondents were forbidden to com? municate the extent of the casual? ties, according to news agency dis? patches received here today from Tripoli, which escaped Italian cen? sorship by being filed at Valetta. The situation at Tripoli, the dispatch adds, is serious. European residents fear a massacre, as a holy war has been proclaimed by the natives.
