Wilson addressed a big over? flow meeting outside the Academy of Music and then motored to Conven? tion hall In North Philadelphia, where a Democratic rally brought out a great crowd that cheered the gover? nor enthusiastically. The nominee argued in his speech that the wages of the country were not dependent upon the tariff. "There is only cne way for a panic to occur In the I'nlted States," said the governor, "ana that is by the small number of men who control In? dustry deliberately creating one. We know the list of those men and we kno** who will be responsible. The riH d<> not want free trade.

Think** Tnft Bettor than Roosevelt ami WUeon Better than Either ? Regards Desertion of Democrats to ituii Moose Unpardonable. To ths Voten of South Carolina. a.< South Carolina's representative on ths national Democratic commltee I ftel it my duty to issue a warning to the people of the State. The Dem? ocratic party redeemed the State from Radical and negro ruh* and it has been in full possession of all branches of the Slate Government since 1876. It has bad two Senators and the full del? egation in the House of Representa? tives since the new Constitution went into effect. We have had honest gov? ernment, and in the main good gov? ernment, and no good citizen has any right to complain. The new Constitution adopted in 1895 insures white supremacy, which every sensible man recognizes .as neeeasary, for a continuance of good government. For Just so suro as the sun rises and sets every day, the mix? ing of the negro in our politics again will bring demoralization and Inaugu? rate an era of extravagance and waste and dishonesty in governmental affairs. As long as the white men stand shoulder to .shoulder with un broli in ranks there is no opening or opportunity for the negro voter to get a Anger in the public pie. But all experience teaches that where the ne gros are active in politics corruption, venality and rottenness abound. Js It possible to have a decent white Re? publican party in South Carolina? Are there enough honest and honor? able white Republicans to be trusted with any political power at all? My experience and observation teaches me to say emphatically, "No." Why then should the white people of the State dlvids into hostile ranks un? less those who are responsible for the division desire corrupt politics and rottenness in office? I am led to speak thus because the papers are more or less full of the sophistries and falsehoods of so-cull? ed Democrats who are trying to bam? boozle and deceive the people Into voting for Roosevelt, of the Bull Mose party, with'the plea that their participation in the last Democratic primary does not bind them to sup? port the Democratic Presidential elec? tors. Are WS to witness the spectacle of white men claiming to be Demo? crats and VOtlBfj in the Democratic primaries deserting their brothers in the Presidential light? (Tan any hon? orable citizen persuade himself that he can do this and remain in good standing In ths party or be allowed to participate in the next primaries? I serve notice now, that so far as any in fluonce i possess goes, the primary shall be made so stringent that any auch treachery ;is this will forever bar su.'h white men from participation in our governmental affaire, i ask all good citizens to be watchful at the polls on November 5 and take down the names of all so -called Democrats who desert and vote for Roosevelt electors. It ought to be an easy mat? ter to watch and see who vote the straight Democratic ticket or w ho vote be Bull Moos.- (IckeL This threaten? ed treachery b ads me to warn my Democratic fellow citizens against apathy and indifference. Uur pri? maries have so long been the real election and the November election the ratification or legalizing of the primary that our people have grown careless. This is one time that tie old adage, "Eternal villgancs is tie price of liberty." should be recalled and lived up to. We must take no chati? SS and I hops every good white citizen will go to the polls on Novem? ber 5 and vote the full Democratic ticket. Whether he voted for Jo nes or Blesse In ths primary) it is his duty to elect Woodrow Wilson and those men who stand for good national gov? ernment. As between Taft and Roosevelt I know that Taft Is the better man of the two. As between Roosevelt and Wilson for the Presidential ohice, the differ? ent Is so great and the contrast so much to Wilson's advantage i cannot understand why any g.i cltlsen of South Carolina should hesli ite. Roose? velt gave us Crum; he Ii only trying to deceive ths poople now because of his greed for power. He Is utterly unscrupulous In his ambitious de? signs and does not hesitate at any? thing, It h<- makes any inroads on our Democratic party In the Stat>- it will Indicate that ws have among us men who tue both lacking in patrio? tism and honesty, for money never Influences a patriot. Roosevelt's backers and owners are furnishing him with all he needs to corrupt our n tt lonal politi? s. B, K.

GREAT CROWU IN ( I I ^ TO IUI) FAREWELL TO GREAT m or r. Wilil Wist und Far Last a Rigger und Heiter show Than Ever Before and Immense Crowd Well Pleas ed. Buffalo Mill's and Pawnee Bill'a great exposition "f tin- Wild Welt and the Far Fast reached Sumter early this morning from Augusta. Thil year the big show requires three trains for the transportation of the army of people, live stock and the vast amount of paraphernalia utlized in the presentation of the prodigious programme. Buffalo Bill, whose exploits have tired the imagination of small boys for two generations; cowboys the kind there used to be before the vast West? ern cattle ranges were cut up with barbed wire fences, and Indians, a remnant of a passing race, will make their appearance in Sumter at the Harvin show grounds. No street parade will be given, the two Bills having eliminated this dis? play over eight years ago. However, the sightseer who wends his way out to the lot this morning will see much that is totally out of the ordinary in the collection of Orientals and the Dahomeyan, Indian and Malayan vil? lage*:, together with their strange ani? mal accompaniment. Like a page out of American history the vast panorama of life as it was when the buffalo was still king of the plains, will be unfolded. Colonel W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) will appear with all the vim and vigor of his earlier days, heading the ensemble of the world's military and in his unique ex? hibition of marksmanship. The wild ness of the once far West will be viv? idly contrasted with the weirdness of the Far East, an object lesson, while furnishing line entertainment, posses es large educational value as well. Batteries of Fnited States artillery will appear in competitive drills with those of France and Great Britain. Mexicans will lasso wild horses, Der? vishes, Dahomeyans and Bussinns will exhibit their wonderful dancing skill. Gruber's elephants give an exhibition in conjunction with trained horses. A reproduction of a fox hunting scene, with crack hurdle jumpers and riders; a real buffalo hunt, introducing a banc of Sioux Indians; broncho busting; a. new pioneer spectacle, entitled "Fron? j tier Days," showing an overland wa? gon tram with an Indian foray, back? ed with special scenic effects. Every possible line of horsemanship is presented, from the method of rid? ing wild bucking bronchos, which is such a gauge and test of equestrian skill as to register the American cow? boy as pre-eminent in the saddle, to the highest hurdlers and the most ex? quisitely trained horses, giving the ex? hibition a post-graduate rank. Not all the riders are men, some of th<i most dillicult of the equestrian feat I being performed by the cowgirls, a winde bevy of whom are in the em? ploy of the show. The Arabs in their athletics are ac? companied by the Sacred Whirling Derv ishes, whose terpist horean ef orts are a supposed shield against the spir it of accident. Flcphantine move? ments of a graceful nature, an at? tendant adjunct to the East Indian religious festivals, and the Max Bos j sini sextette, composed of ^elephant, ! man, woman, horse, pony and canine, execute a spectacle of the Far East. The indications are that tremendous crowds will be attracted to all per i formances, for it is the first visit of Coloiu l Cody ami his famous combina? tion lo Sumter. Reserved scats will be on sale from 'J a. m. to 5 p. in. at China's Drug Stole, .Main street. They Make You Eeol Good.

Bleass in an add reu to the votera of South Carolina culls on them t" go to the polli or. election day, November ?, and vote the .straight. Democratic tick el from President of the United States down to the coroner of their county. His addreea in full follows: "To the Democratic Voten "i South Carolina: Much has been said and written in regard to the coming elec? tion, which is t.. tie held for State, na? tional and county offlcen, on Novem? ber "), and i deem It absolutely unnee cessary for me to make any further statement in reference to the matter. However, as 1 have received some communic ations and have also heard a great deal of talk, possibly it is not amiss for me to urge upon the voters Of this State to go to the polls on the date of the election and vote the straight Democratic ticket from Pres? ident of the United States down to the coroner of their county. We pledged ourselves in the Democratic primary to abide the result and to support the nominees of the party. We took a sol? emn oath to do this and, in my opin? ion, that pledge and oath covers and binds us to support the nominees of the national Democratic party just as much as it does the nominees of the State and county Democracy. "1 have heard several say, and it has been reported to me that many others have said, that there were two men on the Democratic electoral tick? et that under no conditions or circum? stances would they vote for. It is true that these two men were very obnox ious in the recent campaign, and in their speeches and writings were very fitter against me and against the in? terest, of the people of South Caro? lina, and 1 consider the placing of their names on the ticket a direct in? sult to me and to every man who vot? ed for me; however, you remember who controls and dominates the pres? ent State executive committee, and you also remember their attempt to defeat the will of the people as ex? pressed at the primary, but 'there will be a time' when we can repudiate them and their acts, but we must not injure our party in order to punish a few who, on account of neglect up? on our part, are temporarily in pow? er; therefore. I beg my friends to re? member that tin y are not voting for th<> men whose names are on the electoral ticket, but that they are only the tools which the Democratic party uses to express their preference of ths Democratic Presidential candidate. ??our Congressmen, particularly, should have an overwhelming vote polled in their behalf. for if there should be a contest about any of their seats, nothing would be more benefi? cial to them than to be abb- to point to the fact that a '.arce majority of the Qualified voters of their district have cast their ballots for them, and 1 hope that all Democrats will no to the polls ami register their vot ?'Let's all rally to the ]><>iis ?>n No? vember ."> and give the Democratic nominees the heaviest majorities South Carolina has ever rolled up. ?"Yours for South Carolina, and for peace, prosperity ami happiness to all her people.
